[Q] Root & Calculator

Hey everyone,
I have an HTC One international version, Android 4.4, unlocked and rooted. Since then I've been encountering 2 issues:
1) Whenever I delete a Google app (which is a system app) using Titanium Backup (free), for some reason Google Play always restores these apps and locks them as a system app, so I have to do the whole routine again. At first, I thought this happened because of Google sync, which automatically downloads every app I used to have on my HTC One. After I canceled the auto-sync, it continued to automatically download Google apps. How can I fix this?
2) Ever since the update and root I noticed that I don't have the calculator anymore. Is there any way I can download the stock calculator or am I doomed for?
Thanks in advance

2) You can download a calculator from Play Store. There's nothing special about the HTC Calculator.

1) you need an unsecured kernel like elementalx or bulletproof to write to /system otherwise all changes you made will be reset at reboot.
2)unlocking bootloader caused this. you can find the apk here on the forum or use any other app from the play store as suggested above.
And FYI deleting app/files in /system will prevent you to install the next ota. The ota md5 checksum will fail...

Hi, I have performed the same proceedure...... Got a calc from the play store too..... But my root never took.
I flashed the zip in recovery and rebooted, tried a few times. Once booted up use root checker and always get "no root access". What gives?

[Q] Freeze notification for OTA

Rooted non dev VZW Moto X, want to try and freeze the notification to pull the OTA. I froze "updater" in TiBu and I still get it. I also disabled notifications for framework in the apps list and I still get it. Any other suggestions?

I have XT1053 and not Verizon version. I froze MotorolaOTA 1.0 in TiBu and it took care of update notifications for me. My coworker has Verizon DE edition and it worked for him too. Is that the app that you froze?

Just froze it, we shall see! Thanks!

Are there any other apps that can freeze beside TiBu? I don't have the donate version.

I used TiBu so can't help you. It was worth the $6 to me. But you can just download root browser and navigate to /system/priv-app then press and hold 3c_ota.apk and select rename. Rename it 3c_ota.apk.bak. Then when or if you want to take the OTA, just rename it back to 3c_ota.apk.
Also, you can use root browser to delete the OTA file from /cache. Navigate to /cache and find the OTA and then press and hold then select delete.

[Q] Deleting Apps?

I have my S4 Active rooted and want to get rid of the usless and "have to pay" apps. How can I do this without screwing up the phone?

I installed Titanium Backup and it lets you backup and uninstall apps.

I wouldn't uninstall the apps. Use Titanium and freeze the apps. A lot of people ran into problems when the OTA update came out. If system files were modified or deleted, the update wouldn't go through. If there's another update, simply unfreeze them. I don't know if we'll get any more updates but freezing them is safer

Agreed, just freeze them. I uninstalled all the bloatware, and now I have no screen rotation (which I read is believed to be related to uninstalling Samsung Hub).

[q] carrier iq removal ???

Hey does anyone know how to remove Carrier IQ on Stock using a root explorer ?? I am rooted.
Carrier IQ is detected on my lovely Note 4 ,but I don't feel like flashing a custom rom to get rid of it until the 5.0 release.
Thanks in advance :good:

EDIT: I just tried using system tuner to stop carrier iq and my phone after reboot went haywire...I kept getting system application manager crashes every few seconds so I tried restarting those services, but still continued to get fc's and finally had no choice, but to restore my backup smh.

I used titanium backup to remove the carrier iq with no problem.

Maybe you can post exactly what you did and help myself/any one else who mite be going through the same problem. Did you chk before and after with a ciq apk to make sure you got rid of it ?

I believe you freeze the app "System Manager".

I froze the System Manager App in TItanium (Pink Steering Wheel Looking Thing)...and com.carrieriq.blah.blah.blah was still showing up in Amplify with a **** ton of wakelocks. I searched for the same com.carrieriq.blah.blah.blah within Titanium and could find no refernce to it. No reference to anything "IQ" related in Titanium. It seems that even when it's frozen in Titanium...some reference to it somewhere is still kicking it into gear.
Anyone else have a proper method of completely removing CarrierIQ without flashing ROM? Seems like they bake that **** into the system real good.

UPDATED 5/4/19 Working Trusted Face/Face unlock

I was doing a data migration Via Titanium backup for my new Razer 2 from a OnePlus 6 and decided to try it's trusted face restore. I had tried magisk modules and apk downloads from other websites when I found out it wasn't available out of the box. I'll add the apk itself and the titanium files. Let me know how it works with just the apk. And if the bare apk doesn't work use titanium back up and let it restore as a system app.
EDIT:
Time to resurrect an old thread, I removed the app and tried it again using the packages I provided and ran into the same issue. Attached below is a titanium backup of my new working app. If you cannot get it working with the attached zip download the latest NANO Open GAPPS package available at https://opengapps.org/. I got it working again by installing the nano package. Let me know how it works guys ?

And here's a zipped file with the titanium backup

So are you saying that it does work for you? Are you on Pie?

Yes it works and yes I'm on pie. It actually works incredibly well. The app came from my OnePlus 6 on pie. I'm rooted and did it through titanium backup though. If someone unrooted tests just the apk report back.

I'm unrooted tried to install app no good doesn't work

How to restore this with titanium? sorry but it's have been a while since I used titanium
Edit: managed that titanium recognize the backup but it doesn't get restored it stays on 0%
Edit 2: now it gots restored but gives me a FC if I try to add a face

With the apk you went into the settings/security/smart Lock/ and didn't see trusted face in there then?

The app is still installed correct? From there, to try and fix the force close go into the applications from settings and clear the data from the app and try the setup again.

Yes it's installed correct and appears in smart Lock.
Clearing data doesn't help (was the first what I have tried).

Could you check the permissions it's granted in applications? Make sure it has access to everything. If that doesn't do it I'll remove the app from my device and do a fresh restore with my titanium file I posted. If it works for me again I'll post all the steps I took and add some screenshots in the original post as an edit

The app doesn't install just fails

app cannot be installed.

As of now read the updated instructions and you should be set on getting trusted face working. Quick summary is install the nano GAPPS package and it will appear in settings -> security -> smart lock. I think the install via app method in the original post didn't work because there were missing libraries that the package installs.

Smart locks do not have face recognition. (Have you received a security update in the last six months? This system cannot be updated in China.)?

No, I haven't had any updates since February. Looks like Razer already cut support for the 2
I'll look and see if there are any methods that can be used in China for this. I have a feeling the downloads will be blocked since it's a Google app :crying:.

I like to play games, but this phone, the system is very bad, inexplicable Caton, I think rp3 will not be launched, rp2 system update should seek third-party development (if there is a very good third party I am willing to try)。:highfive:

Honestly I'm thinking about trying to build AOSP like lineage from scratch for this thing. I agree that the system is pretty bad.

I did see where the Razer Phone (first phone) was now LineageOS supported, too. First saw it unofficial, and as of yesterday, officially supported.

Please share if you can get it built. I don't think anyone is working on our device.
