[APK] Bluetooth Launch v2.0.1 Beta (11/19/2010)

So this started in the Cognition thread, but I figure it probably is useful for other ROMs and people.
So are you like me? You've hooked up your bluetooth mic, and pressed the voice action button and your phone looks at you stupidly? Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way you could start Google Voice Actions or possibly Vlingo's Recognize and Execute?
Here's the thing, currently Google Voice Actions and Vlingo can't hear over the bluetooth mic. Still, this will launch the voice app, and allow you to speak through your phone's mic.
I've considered creating a version where you can select any app; however, unless there's some demand for a feature like that I don't want to go through that kind of pain and suffering.
Feedback is appreciated.
Oh and finally, this is a very early version, so you won't find it on the app market or such. If I have time, I'll polish it up, but for now, this is good enough to fix the issue for most people.
If you find this useful, please let me know. There's no reason to polish something no one needs/uses.

1.5 Beta
So this is a little rough around the edges but it is functional. The first load will be slow, but application names are cached after that load. Still need to indicate what the user has selected in the past as well as sort the list.
2.0 Beta
Fixed the rough edges, nice radio buttons in the list. Sorted alphabetically. Oh and TheYar suggested waking up the phone to run the action. Not only is it doing that, but it'll bypass the screen lock.
Now some are saying, but wait isn't that a bad thing? Well yes and no. First the screen lock comes back when the action is complete, or bluetooth launch closes. Second, bluetooth headsets must be paired first to get access, so a thief would have to know to grab your headset and phone to get into your phone. The risk is low but not 0, so in the next version, you'll have a way to turn that feature on or off.
2.0.1 Beta
As TheYar pointed out, there's a bug where you may have to hit the bluetooth button twice. This is a bug in the underlying framework and there's nothing my app can do about that. That said, I added a vibrate on launch feature to this new version. No other changes were made.
Change Log:
11/19/10: 2.0.1 Beta Vibrate on launch
11/18/10: 2.0 Beta Choices shown, remembered in the list, sorted alphabetically (so learn your ABC's) and phone wake, lock screen disable.
11/17/10: 1.5 Beta Select any activity, better icon
11/12/10: 1.1.1 Updated some text, added icon
11/11/10: 1.1 Added Settings and Vlingo
11/10/10: 1.0 Initial Revision

Reserved for OP

Sweet!
Unfortunately it doesn't do anything for me, running Cog 2.3.3. I've turned my headset on/off, BT on/off, no response to button.
Pressing "Confirm Selection" doesn't do anything either, should it?
Update - Rebooting makes it work, stupid me...THANKS!

Confirm selection saves the settings. I should change the name, thanks.
It shouldn't require a reboot, but there may have been something subtle going on that a reboot fixed.

Updated!
Added some polish. Launcher icon + text changes to make things more clear.

I think it would be handy if there was some text to confirm that the settings were set.

If I understand what you're asking for, I think the text at the bottom is just that. I'll see if I can re-word it to be more clear.

Coming Soon
So I had some time to play with things over the weekend, I'll be releasing a new versions soon.
Features will include:
Selecting the activity you want to launch
Better icon (not washed out)

This app works very well. You did a great job man.

Teaser
Got this working today, takes way too long to load right now, and only shows the names right now.

Hooray. I am happy to report that I can now use my BlueAnt T1 to control the Google Voice Commands. Awesome! Even though it passes the audio to the phone my headset still thinks my phone does not support it. But it works well enough for now till I can get an updated firware on my T1 headset.
I'm using Cognition.v2.2.Beta7.UCJI6 at the moment.

Beta Version Up
New version up, calling it beta because of the rough edges.
Enjoy!

Updated to the new 1.5 BETA. I switched back to my Plantronics Voyager 855 until I can update the firmware on my T1. The beta works. Thanks again for releasing this.

Wow this is great. I've been wanting to voice dial on my Captivate ever since I got it and this is the first time I've been able to do it.
I've noticed that often it doesn't respond until the second time I try to activate it. Maybe this is just a delay, not sure.
Any thoughts on how this could function when the screen is locked? Google voice actions are pretty powerful, so I doubt that full voice action functionality would be possible from a locked device. But maybe someone has some 2.2 source from another platform that includes how a call might be initiated over BT even when the screen is locked?
Thanks for this app. Loving it.

It appears to be a bug in the handling of bluetooth with the system, I can reproduce it without my app. Basically it appears that the system isn't releasing the bluetooth handle in a reasonable way, as my headphones that do bluetooth to both an iPod and a phone at the same time won't start playing again. I wish I could fix this.

This is a good idea. Look for it in a few minutes.

I just got done adding 1.5 to another DG ROM zip and decided to check here before flashing it. I'm am so psyched!!
Since you seem to be greased lightning on feedback and improvements, I'll throw another one out there - voice feedback into the headset speaker to let you know it is ready. I know that this functionality might better sit with the launched app (and sometimes does), but perhaps a configurable option to detect when the launched app has launched at least, and then react by saying "ready" or such in my ear. Then I'd care even less than I already do about the handle release problem with the bluetooth stack.
As for the lock screen bypass... yeah. I'm a security pro myself, but I agree that the risk there is low and acceptable, compared to the risk I face trying to security-unlock my screen while driving. Watch out though, people tend to freak out on this issue. The press went wild when the Droid opted for default Voice Action access through the lock screen, referring to it as a major security bug and design flaw. Of course, in that case it was accessible even without a headset, just a long-press of the search.
Let me know when this hits market and charge money for it, or at least offer a donation. Gladly pay. Considering this is the first time I've been able to accurately bluetooth dial since 6 years and three phones ago, you are officially a genius.

Your previous comment came in at just the right time to add an extra piece to the development cycle. The feature was easy, so I got it in. That said, playing through the bluetooth device appears to be a hard thing, I'll see what I can do about this. The easier thing to do, which I'm going to put in place soon, is to simply vibrate the phone, so that'll be the first step.

This is why I want the user to explicitly configure if they want this behavior. I'll look at adding a menu with settings. I want to get that done before I add in playing though the headset.

Actually, this is my first app, so I haven't paid the fee for developers to the app store. This is relatively simple, but I may put in a paypal link for development supplies. You know the standard: sex, drugs (beer), rock and roll.
I don't want to tip my hand for the other ideas I'm going to work on, but once this is mostly complete, I'm going to start on my next couple of apps, which I'm affectionately calling "Ring Rules" and "When I Get Home" right now. Those will likely have free and paid versions in the app store. (Assuming I get enough time to write them.)

Word, vibrate on launch. Dug. My handset is usually in a cradle or empty seat or sliding around the floorboard somewhere, so I might not get to use it much. But definitely a worthy X.X.1 enhancement. Looking forward to the other two apps you tease there; if my guesses are correct then they would both be of value to me.
On the lock-screen bypass: definitely, making it configurable would be preferable and snazzy. But on the old Windows Mobile Voice Command, this was configurable and disabled by default and it still got a good bit of bad feedback as a security bug. My 2 cents would be to make the setting work like the USB debugging setting in a stock ROM. Enabling it requires you to acknowledge a pop-up that warns and explains the risk. This might limit the number of armchair professional comments you get in the Market that are all caps and scream about how your app has security bugs and allows people to hack androids and steal all the datums and megahurtz off of them.

Hey thanks for this app, used voice dialing and commands all of the time on my Tilt with WinMo 6.0, only real downside of Android is not implementing this feature in an easy to use format IMO. I'm still figuring out vlingo but I can finally use my BlueAnt ST3 the way I used to, or almost anyway. Thanks again.

I started with yur earlier version that did Google Voice only, then the one that you could choose between GV and Vlingo.
Just installed latest version, and getting FCs.
I don't know if it is because I am selecting wrong COM item under (I've tried several under Vlingo, and get double vibrate, then FC each time) the app, or this application itself. But bringing up a long list of all the different components of various programs makes it immensely more difficult to get an operational program.
Going back to earlier version for now.
[EDIT]
I was able to get it to work with Google Voice, but never did with Vlingo.
I now realize that 3 vibes is normal. I'd prefer an option to turn that off.

[APP] ACUI: New Car Frontend for Android

Hi,
We worked on this project for months and since we're almost ready (very few days left) to launch the first beta on the PlayStore I think that it's time to share some info around the web and not only on our community.
ACUI is a set of four apps: ACUI Key&Touch, ACUI Touch (and ACUI Touch with material) and ACUI Base (which include three different themes), designed to best improve your Android experience in your car.
GOOGLE PLAYSTORE LINK
Finally we have a little teaser for ACUI A2DP feature.
Please remember that in order to listen the audio you will need of a little piece of hardware we will release later this year (a preorder sale will be open soon).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Together with these UI app we will release also two very simple and easy apps that will allow you to share your GPS connection from your phone to another android device.
But ACUI is not just software. We will open a preorder sale on IndieGoGo for a couple of piece of hardware we're working on:
- a bluetooth HID controller for standard 4-Wire resistive touchscreen (price around 80$)
- a custom controller (price around 50$)
Every single $ for both the IndieGoGo campaign and the PlayStore sales will be used to produce and keep as low as possible the price of these two product, as we previously said on our Google+ Community we really want to provide you the best experience for the lowest price.
Here's the links to our site and to our Google+ Community
http://www.acuiautomotive.com
http://plus.google.com/communities/112087817837785037612

Same issue for me.....

For non-phone devices the Tablet version will be fit your needs.
I tested it on a Samsung Galaxy Trend which have a 1Ghz SingleCore CPU and 512Mb of RAM so it should also work on the S150.

Will it work on the S150 Android 2.3 version?

I'm so sorry but ACUi will only work on 4.0.3+.

Sorry, double post.

Just a little news.
We have almost done with the development of both ACUI A2DP feature (which will be available for every version of ACUI) and ACUI A2DP hardware. You will be able to read sms, make calls, answer call, send sms and a lot more!

hi, i purchase the app, i have a car android 4.0.3 S150 but not install in google play, system not compatible message. any idea?

The A2DP code is ready and working like a charm. We will record a video really soon.
The first proto of our bluetooth adapter is ready too. There was some noise but we managed to reduce it at 90%, I think that we will manage to completely reduce it. To use this module you will only need of just one aux input in your car. The module will be connected to the aux input. The tablet with ACUI will be connected to the module via AUX cable and the phone will be connected to both the bluetooth module and to the tablet with ACUI installed. The module will also allow you to have one extra AUX input in this way you won't have to unplug the module everytime you want to plug another MP3 player or whatever you want.
After that you WON'T need to touch your phone anymore. You will be able to answer/reject a call, access out/in/missed calls, send and read SMS (using both android keyboard and your voice), access to phone contact list, create a new contact and listen to the music stored in the phone.
New feature will be added in the future.
Please note that this feature will be absolutely FREE if you have ACUI Key&Touch, ACUI Material or ACUI Touch.

- Improved YouTube integration (recording a video now)

[APP][5.0+][Alpha] AA Passenger - Stream audio, control nav, show pics

AA Passenger
https://github.com/martoreto/aapassenger
What's this
With this app you can have two phones: one is the driver's phone, running Android Auto as usual.
Then you can have another one, e.g. handled by passenger. Passenger can then do 3 things:
play any music via car speakers (for now this requires root on passenger's device)
find some destination in Google Maps or another maps app and send it to Android Auto to navigate there
display pictures on the Android Auto screen (e.g. display how the hotel you're driving to looks like)
What's new
1.9-alpha9
AA Passenger: fixed Oreo crash
AA Passenger: fixed casting volume
1.9-alpha8
audio streaming, without root! (experimental)
audio streaming, without passenger app! (experimental)
works also with Hotspot active on the driver's device
AA Passenger now also available from Play Store
driver's app renamed to AA 2nd Seat
now compatible with Android 5.0 Lollipop
many bugs squashed
support for an NFC tag which launches or installs AA Passenger app
note that both driver's and passenger's apps must be updated to work together
Installation

Can you describe some more what exactly you can do with this and how?
Can we install this android auto sdk somehow and use this?
Is it possible to have android navigation eg navigon running to a smartphone to display in android auto screen?

The SDK itself is for developers. It allows writing new Android Auto apps.
It rather won't help much in modifying existing apps to run on AA, as the logic behind AA apps is quite different than for normal apps.
The SDK is used like any other Android library.
I published an example demo project (linked in README) which shows how.
sosimple said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It is somewhat possible, for example by creating a new Andoid Auto app which mirrors the screen of the phone on the car screen and then somehow circumvents the fact that Android Auto displays its own graphics on the phone screen.
It's also possible to modify an open-source navigation app (I'm experimenting with OsmAnd recently) and implement the Android Auto functionality.

Many thanks for description. Very good. I would pay for an app mirroring passenger screen to android auto screen.. (showing anything passengers screen shows, video, navigation, etc).
I think many others would like this, if anyone could implement it..
Sent from my SM-T700 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

Any ideas for what other things than navigation, watching videos while stopped and dangerously distracting the driver while driving would this be useful?

Hi Martoreto
Thank you for your work and for the SDK. I tried to you your passenger app now. But I have to say I failed. I don't have rooted my phones yet, but you wrote to send (push) pictures should be possible right? Currently for me it is just possible to send a point in maps. Other than that if I try to send a picture with printscreen it shows "sent to Android Auto" but in Android Auto happens nothing than 1 second of black mirror. I think to push pictures no root is needed right?
Thanks for replay

Hi @Sissi1991, thanks for trying the app.
I see good news that you established the wireless connection successfully, which was one of the major concerns I had with the app.
You're right, sending photos should work without root. I saw another report in the SDK thread, when the example app could behave similarly.
Just to make sure it's the same: when you take the screenshot, the screen on Android Auto becomes black for about a second, and then appears the AA home sceen?
Also, does the same happen when trying to send some other picture than a screenshot (like Gallery -> <some photo> -> Share -> Send to Android Auto)?
A note about rooting: it's required only on passenger's device (to make audio work).

@Sissi1991, feel free to try the new release:
https://github.com/martoreto/aapassenger/releases/tag/0.9-alpha2

Couldnt make it work also, same problem as Sissi (tested the previous 0.9 alpha 1 version only)
If sending a picture from gallery, it gives an error 'error resizing image'

Ok, this looks like another issue and alpha 2 rather won't make any difference here.
This error shows on the passenger's device, right?
If possible, please PM me links to:
- Android bugreport captured after this error (Settings -> Developer options -> Take bug report)
- The picture which failed to send
Thanks for trying this out.

Thanks for developing such a great idea
Don't know what I am missing, I can't pair my two phones, even though they are connected through wifi direct, the app apparently can't see this connection :s

Yeah, I expected that Wifi Direct may have some connection issues. Nevertheless, please do this:
On driver's device open "AA Remote Settings" -> "Enable discovery".
On passenger's device open "AA Passenger"; if the setup wizard shows up, go to the "Pairing" page.
Wait 5 minutes.
On both devices, capture Android bug reports, upload them somewhere and PM me the links.

Thank you, ill give it a try.
Pairing through Wifi direct isnt indeed ideal and it takes a while to get connected, i get why using 'passenger' smartphone, but as the driver is driving the passenger could use the connected AA phone i think

@martoreto installed and tested new version! Works perfect. Keep on your good work!

Just my 3 cents on this idea: some things can be done with this AA-connected phone, and this doesn't need any special app mostly.
I don't know how it is on other phones, but on my HTC One M8 I can open any app even when AA is connected using tricks like opening notifications drawer, going to Settings, Apps etc.
But even then Maps can't be open on both AA and the screen. It can't render at the same time to 2 destinations.
Then, fiddling with the cable can easily disconnect the nav.
That's why I go with the idea of using the passenger's phone, with his/her music library, maps favourites, bookmarks, whatever context etc., to make car travel a more "together" experience.

Let me announce a new major release: 1.9-alpha8
It has two new main features, namely:
Audio streaming without root, as rooting was rather a major blocker for
this feature to be useful.
Hotspot mode. Now the apps don't rely on Wi-fi Direct only (but it's still supported).
They will work also if the passenger's device is connected to the hotspot started

What to do about the not not working volte? Earlier even after june security patch volte with jio was working fine but ever since hmd released that server update, it's all messed up. Can't make calls at times and the data doesnt work most of the times. What should i do?

Dual sim dialer and hands free
Hi my previous dual sim phone had a dialer where you could key the phone number and press one of 2 dial out icons (one for sim1 and one for sim2).
Is an option like this available in the standard rom 7 plus ?
I have set the default dialing sim to sim1 so that hands free works as per my previous phone. Is this necessary for hands free ?

Anyone here from Korea? I cannot use VoLTE. Apparently, Nokia phones are not registered in the VoLTE here. Living in place that has the fastest internet and call connection, the 2018 phone becomes the bottleneck. Smh.
Does anyone know a workaround for problems like this?

Hi,
I've got two questions.
1. Is it possible to stop Google Play from adding new icons for every app installed in the default launcher? I don't want to change my launcher, hence my reason for asking.
2. Is it possible to have multiple variants of messengers in the phone, kind of a similar feature in S7 after Oreo update? I need one for my work Sim.

Try apps like Parallel Space, here are some alternatives on a quick googlesearch. https://alternativeto.net/software/parallel-space/

Yes, you just need to disable the Add Icon to Home Screen setting in the home settings - see screenshot.

Yes, I like Parallel Space. Unfortunately it seems to not work with the P beta - every time I open the app it immediately crashes.

I don't have that option. What could the reason be?

No, no native dual messenger option in the Android One version. The China market software, on the other hand, does have this function (my wife has the Chinese version of the 7 plus).

Hi all,
just got mine. So far i like it. There are a few things that bother me though.
1: settings->storage->internal shared. At the bottom in system i have 13GB used. Why so much? I cant imagine that android 8 uses so much.
2: in developer settings i saw aptx, aptx HD and a lot more to chose from. But every time i select anything else then the default and exit dev options, it reverts back to default. Why that?
Im on 8.1.0.
Thanks!
PS: is there some PC software available for the new HMD Nokia lineup? I know in the past there were the Nokia PC suite and Ovi suite but i doubt they work with the new phones.

I have a really odd WiFi problem with my Nokia 7 plus. I had problems when I first set it up - I couldn't enter my Google credentials over WiFi. It would only work with a SIM inserted to use mobile data.
Since then it appears I can't browse, or use applications on the Nokia 7 Plus which use secure connections over my home WiFi - eg. Twitter, Amazon login etc.
No other devices (Mobile Phones, Laptops, Tablets/ Smart TVs) are affected by this problem using the same network, no special rules have been created for this host on my WiFi AP/Router.
And I don't get the problem on other WiFi networks - only the Nokia 7 Plus on my home Wifi. Anyone else experienced this or know what to do to fix it?

Immediately lock not working properly it takes half sec
After press the power button

how to unlock the bootloader of nokia 7 plus ta-1062? the chinese variant of this phone doesn't allow me to use google pay

Hello,
Am rocking a Nokia 7 plus but it is now stuck in April security patch after downgrading from Android p beta 3 to Android Oreo 8.1.0 .Also checked manually in the system settings but still no luck.
Any help will be appreciated.

How is the build quality?
Hello
I have just bought this phone couple of days back and i am loving it so much so far.
I have not even touched its ceramic coated back yet and have just put the plastic cover as soon as i opened the box,
Is the ceramic coated rear and overall build is such fragile to spoil quickly ?
My mom's Moto G5 Plus still has decent quality back after an year of not very careful use.
So, what is your suggestion ?

Xperia All in one Debloat Tool

PLEASE READ BEFORE USE OR ASK. ​IMPORTANT WARNING: ​DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS SOFTWARE FROM ANY SOURCE OTHER THAN THIS THREAD/FORUM. IT IS XDA EXCLUSIVE AND I WILL NOT RELEASE IT ON ANY OTHER FORUM. ANY FORUM THAT USES MY NAME OR REPOSTS IT IS NOT ME OR APPROVED BY ME. DOWNLOADING FROM ANYWHERE ELSE COULD RESULT IN TAMPERED OR MALWARE-INFECTED SOFTWARE.​I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY VIRUSES OBTAINED BY DOWNLOADING THIS SOFTWARE FROM AN UNAUTHORIZED SOURCE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!.​
IDEA BEHIND THIS SOFTWARE​As a long-time secondhand Xperia user, I have always preferred the Japanese version due to its lower price and Grade A quality. It is widely agreed upon that the Japanese version of the Xperia has slightly different hardware and software, and is often full of bloatware and dead services, especially for releases prior to the Xperia 1.
I have been developing this script for a long time for my own personal use, but I noticed that there are many people on the internet asking how to convert the Japanese version to the global version. This inspired me to create the Xperia All In One Debloat (XAIOD) tool, which allows users to easily remove bloatware with a single click. This tool is made with love for the Sony and XDA communities.

Feature​-All in one EXE
No need to download ADB separately. Simply download and run XAIOD.exe anywhere, with its own built-in ADB (note: Xperia driver may need to be installed manually for some devices).
-Simple as click and wait
While advanced users can use the manual mode to select specific settings, this software is designed for simplicity. Just click and select what you want to remove, from vendor/operator apps only to full bloatware and dead/Japan-specific software, with just two clicks. Wait for the process to complete (note: depending on your PC hardware and phone vendor, it may take a long time, but it is easily cancelable with the escape key if it gets stuck).
-Almost foolproof
There is almost no way to break your phone with this software. It has triple fool protection (no joke - I really don't want to be blamed if someone uses this in a very stupid way) and has been tested on two real Xperia devices (Xperia XZs and XZ1 with Android 8 and 9) to the extreme, with no harm done to either device. However, someone may eventually find a way to use this in the most "unhuman" way possible, so please use with caution.(For the average user, this is 99.99% harmless, even if unplugged/rebooted during the process.)
-Completely offline
For those who may be wondering or concerned, this software works fully offline. There is no need to enable a firewall or make any changes to your antivirus software. If you prefer, you can simply disconnect from the internet and the software will continue to function like a charm (With the exception of external links like xpricheck.com, which I have included for reference, because let's face it, even I can't write out the entire database of Sony smartphone information that this software is indexing. But don't worry, it won't affect anything on your end. Unless, of course, you're dying to know what SOV35 or S0-5k stands for. In that case, just double click on any of the devices under Supported Models menu)
-Provided by me, maintained by us
This software could have been made in just two days, but I am taking it one step further by adding all future features now for easy updates. While it took longer to create, it will be easy to update and I am now finished with my work. It is now up to the community to provide me with app lists. So, while the native device list is currently small, the compatible list and community list will grow over time, thanks to you - those who help test by using it, adding more devices by giving/donating your vendor app names, and confirming whether things work or not by commenting.
How to use​
Download this Software + download Xperia driver (if needed only).
Enable USB Debugging by going to:
Settings > System > About phone > Tap build number (Android 8/9/10)
Settings > About phone > Tap build number (Android 11/12) Then:
Settings > System > Developer option > USB debugging tap to on (Android 12)
Settings > System > Advanced > Developer option > USB debugging tap to on (Android 9)
Settings > System > Developer option > USB debugging tap to on (Android 8) (Enabling "stay awake" is recommended if your display turns off in less than 5 minutes)
Plug your phone into your PC with a data cable (no more than 1 device)
Run the software.
Wait until the software recognizes the device. If the software is not detecting anything, check your phone and allow USB debugging on this PC.
Check if your device's status is native/compatible or not supported.
If native/compatible, hit auto mode and select the apps you want to debloat (more info below).
There will be a progress bar in the middle of the screen. Wait and please do not touch your phone or computer (finishing the process may take longer than other steps, so please be patient).
After it finishes, you will be sent back to the main menu. At this point, all is done.
DEVICES LIST​Native: App list is created and tested with real devices
Compatible: No app list yet, but similar lists from other native phones can be used
Not Supported: This device is detected as Sony, but there is no app list that can be used with it (auto mode not available, use Manual with caution)
Not recognizable: ADB debugging may not be enabled or the device you have plugged in is not a Sony or has been modified. Features are disabled to prevent harm to your device.
​Native Models:​
AU: SOV36, SOV39, SOV40
Docomo: SO-03J
Softbank: N/A
Global: G8341
Compatible Models:​
AU: SOV35, SOV34, SOV33, SOV37, SOV38
Docomo: SO-02J, SO-04J, SO-01J, SO-04H, SO-02K, SO-05K, SO-03K, SO-04K, SO-01L
Softbank: N/A
Global: G8342, H8416, H9493, H9436, J8170, J9110
Community Models:​
Docomo: SO-01K
Differences between modes in Auto.​Operator only:
This will only remove specific apps from specific vendors (Docomo/AU/Softbank) without removing other bloatware.
Operator + third party:
This will do the same as operator only, plus removing generic bloatware (Facebook, antivirus, etc.).
Third party only:
This will only remove generic bloatware without removing vendor apps.
Full Debloat:
This will remove all bloatware, both vendor and generic, and remove all Japanese-specific apps or Sony dead services.
How to Help this software grow:​There are three ways in which you can help this software grow:
The easiest and most effortless way is by upvoting, sharing, liking, or following me on XDA, YouTube, or Instagram. One single like already makes my day!
Using an APK analyzer is another way to help. With this app, you can see package names, which are the most important thing in this software. To do this, download the app, take a screenshot of all the app list on your phone (cropping, removing, or painting over any private apps if you wish), and send it to me (don't forget to include your phone variant, model, and operator).
If you are an advanced user, simply comment with your whole phone's package names that you have dumped with ADB shell.
if you play roblox. i do open donation inside "donate me". and maybe consider pay to add custom feature? or new custom Easter egg?. or if you that damn rich. why dont buy full source code XD
Any help counts, and for the first user who provides package names, their username will be written next to the device model in the Supported model menu.
Next Update:​Next Big version : Currently Slowly Working on it,
Next Update Plan:
Add More devices
Fix window size not correct on low resolution devices -Skipped for next update
Code improvement/optimization - Skipped for next update

"Compatible: No app list yet" means that a list of all apps could be possible and then uninstall whatever we want ?

If you mean selecting something specific or similar, then no, it's not possible yet. However, if you mean uninstall using other similar model then yes. it all app that same as list get uninstall(but not whatever you want though), I am currently working to allow external list / custom list that can be made by anyone for anyone at anytime. whoever due to busy with other thing,due to being busy with other things, the development of this feature has slowed down. Nevertheless, I am already working on it. for now as long it sony,(and not softbank as I don't own it and cannot find a trusted app list for that model) you could try remove it manually via manual mode. it not perfect as same app but on newer phone change slightly the naming. but probaly remove at least 70% of the bloatware, as the hidden one normaly doesn't change the name On the other hand, if you are using SoftBank, unless you send me the app list for SoftBank, there is no list available at all.
