[Q] Where are my Sprint apps?

Ok, I know that this is kind of weird "problem" to post about here, but my One doesn't have any of the Sprint bloat/apps. I suspect it might be because my Network Operator Name in the About portion of Settings is "HTC" instead of "Sprint". I'm running viperboy's stock odexed 1.29.651.10. My wife, who also has a Sprint One, is running 100% stock and has all of the Sprint crap and her Network Operator is Sprint. So is this because I'm running a rooted "stock" ROM? Or is there something else going on? In any event, I kind of wanted to check out the Scout navigation app and it apparently isn't on my phone and certainly doesn't show up in the Play Store when I search for it or under the Sprint category. How can I get my phone to believe that it is a Sprint phone? I'll worry about freezing or ripping out bloatware I don't want later, I just want the choice!

Where did you get the phone? It doesn't sound like it's a retail device.

I got it at Sam's Club from the retail phone guy. I should add that everything else seems to work fine: Play Store access including paid apps, make and receive phone calls, 3g and LTE, wifi, GPS, etc.

A lot of the "stock" rooted roms still remove bloatware apps. Check the rom's thread on here and see if they were removed. Sometimes the bloat apps are still there, but moved to a different folder. That way, you can add what you want.

There was a thread on this a while back. I believe the general assumption is you got an HTC demo unit. Its htc branded as opposed to sprint branded. No issues save for missing sprint apps. If you take it back, theyll exchange it for the simple fact its branded htc. Just ruu first. No need to exchange, though.

I kind of wondered about that. I don't think it's really worth taking it back just for some carrier apps I'll probably end up pulling out anyway. I wonder why there seem to be so many demo units out there being sold as retail? Maybe the initial supply problems?

I dont know man. Maybe they got shipped out in retail boxes beforehand and some sprint stores never put them out on display and got them mixed up? Thats a mofo of a coincidence if so though

Further research
I've poked around a little more in my system files to see if there is any reference to Sprint and found a few apks in /system/app: SprintDMS.apk, Sprint_Worldwide.apk, SprintInstaller.apk, and SprintZone.apk. If I try to install them using ES File Explorer, the installer runs and warns me that they are system apps and tells me about permissions, then fails with the message "App not installed." (Well duh, that's why I tapped on the apk....) So at least some of the Sprint stuff is on my phone, but it is dormant somehow. Is it possible that I just didn't get activated quite right after rooting? I sort of remember something called Hands-Free Activation running for several minutes on the first boot after rooting and cancelling it because it did not seem like it was going to complete. Maybe that has something to do with it?

You (or someone) changed something in your dialer settings. There is an option to turn off sprint branding in there. When you were on stock did you have any sprint animations when the phone booted?
You just have to change one setting to fix it if the problem is what I think it is.
easy fix...
1. install nova launcher
2. with nova launcher now set as launcher hold on homescreen to create new shortcut.
3. select new short cut > activities.
4. scroll down the list until you see "Update Device"... click update device then look for a "Branding" submenu.
5. Click on "Branding" and you will make a "Branding" shortcut on your Homescreen.
6. Click new "Branding" shortcut and set Branding to "Sprint"
Thank Autoprime for posting this fix. All your sprint apps will come back too. If that doesn't fix it PM me.

I don't remember for sure (I booted maybe 2 times before I got around to rooting), but I don't think so.

"Update Device" isn't in that list, and I didn't see Branding or anything like it in some other submenus I tried.

Just found this thread (not sure how I missed it when I was searching and reading thread titles before posting my thread). It is full of people with varying degrees of the same "problem" I have, but for some of them significant things are missing, like mobile network settings and so on. The fix is basically flashing the RUU and letting it download its Sprint package a few minutes after connecting to the network after that, then rebooting. I'm backing up all my apps now to give that a try.

I suggest HTCs built in backup. It backs up apps, settings, evrrything minus autorotate settings and lockscreen password

PM me your serial number

Alright, I flashed the RUU, updated the profile and PRL and ... got the Sprint icons on the second home screen to show up! But mostly they are just links to the Play Store and the items are not available for my carrier as my carrier is still HTC. Does anyone know of a way to force my phone to get reprovisioned entirely? Maybe that would help....

And now confirmed not a demo unit, just a regular old Sprint One. So it must be something with how it got activated, right?

[App] SystemUI Tuner - By Zacharee1

Please see this thread by a recognized developer i met over on the LG V20 side of things,
Went ahead and tested it against the note 8 without root, you do have to send 3 strings ( Now just 1 set! )of commands via ADB to get it working but this is a one time thing.
This is practically the UITuner android builds into their software and the OEMs seem to kill it for whatever reason. Go to to his thread to check it out and show him some love and thanks. The app is available for free in the google play-store as well.
Practically can be done by a toddler as long as you follow the steps the app asks you to do! Very Simple and super useful!

Have you found anything this cannot do yet? Meaning, from the screenshots on the Play Store, it says some status bar icons cannot be disabled by Samsung phones, have you found that to be true on the Note8 yet? I have the phone but I haven't installed this yet, was looking for a solid solution to removing the useless NFC icon that Samsung always displays, as well as a way to change the awful Bluetooth icon to the AOSP (or as similar as possible) version.
Thanks!

I'm with you man... I hate having the alarm icon on all the time. I know, I know... I ALWAYS have an alarm set!

My note8 doesn't show NFC icon or alarm icon. I use timely so maybe that's why it does show up when I have pending alarms coming up or snoozed iirc. Sprint n8 if that matters

ADB went smooth and I was able to tweak the pull down toggles but volume warning still happens, and it was switched off by default? This is what really bugs me and I want turned off!

I hate it too. I understand when you get that msg with headphones but why I get it with my damn car BT! There was an article at xda that you can turn it off with AutoTools and some ADB commands, but that is not working with Samsung devices at least for me with S7E atm. I manage to fix it with Tasker and AutoInput.

Mine cannot hide carrier id, both standard and auto-detect mode it's N950N.

Thanks Zachari! This app got me to get rid of the annoying heads up. But I think something went wrong with the display settings. The screen does not go off by itself. I mean the time out does not work.
Can anyone help?
By the way m using Galaxy S8 Plus.

This is a great app for the note8. Nfc, alarm icons gone. The screen rotation icon will show up so had to turn that off too. Bummer that the volume warning does not work. Can also adjust the number of quicksetting columns. Donated to the developer.

I must be retarted, but I can't get the ADB to work with Windows 10 Powershell. Anyone care to help?

I uninstalled the App and now my Notification pulldown icons are all black. Even after applying the default theme for the Note8 the icons are all white and still can't see them. How do you get the icons colors to show back up properly? I booted into stock recovery and did a cache partition wipe hoping how would fix it and no dice. Any help is appreciated.

Used it with the S8+ and the Note 8 to get rid of the battery icon. On the T-Mobile G1 ADB was the only way to get anything done, even a screenshot.

It's a great app I use it for my toggles and hiding my battery symbol and the immersive mode, can't wait for the volume warning to work on the Note 8 though

I was able to get the status bar icons to show back up by installing the app again and using adb on my desktop, but the question remains how do you completely uninstall this app and go back to stock settings? Is the only way to do a factory reset?

doesn't hide the wifi calling icon either. Its still one of my favorite apps to use. between this, substratum and bx actions, I can live without root on a samsung

What is this icon?

Came back to the phone and my theme had changed and this icon was to the left of the bluetooth icon. Checked the QS and nothing else is turned on.

Looks like the firmware update symbol?

Don't have that either, using adhell 2.

It just means your phone is currently rotation locked to 'Portrait' try changing it to auto rotate and the icon should be gone

I already had the developers license so just install from here and used the license and it worked. I saw somewhere, can't remember that it had been updated to the Note 8, tried a week a go and didn't work but it's fine now.

Did you select all option to theme or one by one?

So after you select the s8, it will automatically show you options of stuff that is installed on your phone, you can select multiple then install them. Also you can find a theme in be play store called swift for Samsung. It is actually better because the overlays there are designed for the Samsung stuff. Hope this helps. Try it and let me know.

I noticed when i restart my phone, some overlays (eg YouTube Twitter tumblr chrome) get back to the original theme and I have to reinstall the overlays even though it says up-to-date. Does it happen to you guys?

No.....................................

not sure wth is going on, but i'm using substratum with magisk rooted on nemesis rom, it's saying application successful but the settings menu is still white, notification window and QS icons are still white, only the dialer and a few other 3rd party apps got themed using swift black oreo samsung

I had some of my overlays reset on restart the first time. I reinstalled and now they seem to be sticking. YouTube gave me some issues, too. I didn't know about the Samsung variant, so I have the normal Swift Black. It seems to be working under S8 option now. Maybe that is what caused my little glitch.
It was annoying, but I thought it was going to change my notifications, too. It took another 3 hours of searching to get rid of the white notification background. Ugh. But it is worth it to use an almost all black phone.
I will totally be sharing substratum with my friends and family.
I do not take credit for the link, I got it in a YouTube video :

It's working from me from a neighbors computer. It takes you to an all black page and then prompts for the download. There is nothing there. Works from a PC or directly on the phone. But there is nothing on the actual page.

Sprint is making me crazy - can I do this?

Sprint has its name popping up int the notification area at the top and when I pull down the notification panel. I'm sick of seeing there name. advertise to someone who doesn't own a phone through you! I've turned off or blocked everything I can find with Sprint on it and it still shows up.
1. does anyone know how to make it go away? using BK disabler.
2. I'm with Sprint and bought the Sprint variant. is it possible to overwrite the system os with an unlocked version? I'll give up whatever I have to if it gets their name off my screen.
so fu%$ing intrusive. it's all you see everywhere, no matter what. I KNOW who my carrier is. why do they shove it in your face when not needed.

After using BK disable and disabling most all Sprint apps and services I no longer have Sprint on my screen.

I'm assuming your device is the Sprint version? I'm Unlocked on Verizon and it's only on the bottom of the Notification pulldown when completely down, no where in the Notification area.

yeah. box cutter or claw my eyes out. cannot wait for root. obscene what they do to this beautiful device.

I believe root or flashing a custom ROM is the onlybway to remove that. Since those aren't options right now, I believe you can flash the unlocked firmware. You might loose some carrier specific features (not sure if Sprint has volt, wifi calling, etc). You can flash those features for the unlocked firmware but I'm not sure if that will bring you back to what you don't want now.

See where it is on the notification bar on your lock screen?
It stays on that spot when pulled down partially or fully depending on your CSC setup.
I don't know which files exactly, but I've had AT&T there on lockscreen and full pull down, and I've also had it on Lockscreen only.
I wasn't particularly paying attention to this, but this is what I remember while playing around with various stock and custom roms and CSC setups for my N950N (Korean) on AT&T.
I'm sure it's possible to remove it entirely, just gotta find the right file(s).
3rd party branding like this drives me nuts. Samsung is fine, but not other crap like carrier logo + FCC crap at the bottom on the back of the phone.
I REALLY want to scrape it off, but I don't want to remove the back to do this as it's on the inside.
I hate seeing dealership logos on vehicles. They didn't do anything to deserve that status, and alot of them around southern Missouri are STUPID AS HELL. Many are larger than my license plate...

Carrier logos/badges in the notification pull down are indicating whose network the device is connected to usually. Though I don't have them on my T-Mobile Note8 unless I'm roaming on AT&T.

This did not work to get rid of my one instance on lock screen...

Hmm. It worked for me. I don't know why it wouldn't for you.

Mine is unlocked on Sprint and one instance on my lock screen doesnt bother me but not sure why the app didn't work...
Update...changed csc to XAA flashed back to XAA put SIM in csc changed back to SPR with Sprint showing on pull down and lock screen...installed the app again and it works...no branding on my Unlocked Version with SPR unlocked firmware AQI5...thanks for the app @JHewey
