I've been experiencing an unusual issue on all Cyan builds since the builds requiring the ADP1 image to be flashed prior to the Cyan image. I'll provide as much info as I can along with my own thoughts
Every morning I wake up to my Market notifications and the number of updates available is always one (1) more than the actual number of " new updates available" in the my downloads section e.g. even when there are no new updates in "My Downloads" I get a notification saying "1 new update available".
I found this on t-mobile help which highlights the same problem however iv not had any residual apps left after uninstalling like these people have.
After a full wipe and reflashing the ADP1 and Cyan image respectively, i have not installed anything from Market this is My Downloads list:
Google Maps (installed)
Google Search by Voice (Installed)
SuperUser whitelist [Blackginsoft] (Installed)
Terminal Emulator [HelloAndroid.com] (Installed)
Yet i still get a notification every night.
I think the issue may be one of the latter two on the list as I know in both cases they are not the same apps as Cyan has included in his build although they do have the same named APK's in /system/app
Cyans Terminal has been modded to look black and have additional features and the one on the Market is a rip from the AOSP tree by HelloAndroid.com.
Cyans SuperUser has been modded to be faster and easier to use and has a new icon of the Ninja, but the one on the Market is the old nasty version from JF old builds that have the blue # as its icon.
I know Cyans included Log Collector is out-dated and new version is available but i have removed this from the settings menu because I dont need it so it cant be causing the problem.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Does anyone know if its any of Cyan's included apps causing the problem?
do you have apps2sd? if so then do
Code:
su
rm -r /system/sd/dalvik-cache
reboot
See if that helps
Good luck
Ah of Course!

I never thought about excess data being held in the cache.
Only question before I do so... will doing this wipe any settings?
Thanks
No. It will take a long time for that first reboot though so don't freak out.
And no guarantee that it will fix it neither but it never hurts to clean dalvik once in a while anyway. Let us know... we may have to try something else if this doesn't work.
Still No Luck

I cleared the cache and rebooted. After reboot went into Market and then came out of it and almost immediately after the Market closing I recieved a notification of 1 new update. Checked My Downloads and everything is reporting Installed.
Whats next?
P.s. Thank you so much for your help.
Very lovely....
Well... just to rule this out
Code:
ls /system/sd/app
ls /system/sd/app-private
ls /data/app
ls /data/app-private
ls /system/app
See if there's anything that you might have install at some point but don't use anymore/uninstalled. Basically, anything out of the order.
Do a nand backup and rm any left-overs that may cause problems if you know what you're doing. Otherwise paste a log/screenshot of your findings and let someone else look thru it.
You could also clear data from Checkin Service, Download Manager, Market and Market Updater. Not sure if this would help though since you're coming from a clean install and wiped multiple times.
Try it out. Always back-up your work though.

I was wondering if I ask a pretty stupid question that I've been wondering for some time that may help me understand the structure of how android stores its app data.
For example if I set up a program to do something and it remembers those settings, where does it store that data. Does it write it into the actual apk itself? Or does it store it in another directory somewhere?
If I knew this I could make sure I fully backup and remove every trace of Term.apk, VoiceSearch.apk, and Superuser.apk. I'll then wait for the Market to forget that I have downloaded these items previously (Data which i assume is briefly held on the Google cloud under my Google account) Once that is refreshed i'm going to push the 3 files back to /system/app. I'm certain its one of these apk's causing the problem and this is the only way i can think to make Google forget I have downloaded them previously.
So anyway back to the main question... If for instance Term.apk remembers my settings for background color and font size etc, where does it keep this data?
*Update*
I have backed up and removed the 3 apk's VoiceSearch.apk, Term.apk and Superuser.apk from system/app
Next I tried to remove all traces I could find of each:
Code:
adb remount
adb uninstall com.android.term
failure
adb uninstall com.google.android.voicesearch
failure
adb uninstall org.zenthought.su
failure
I don't know why the uninstallation failed. Is this because Package Manager cannot uninstall system apps?
As these failed I manually removed the data from /data/data/:
Code:
adb shell rm -r /data/data/com.android.term
adb shell rm -r /data/data/com.google.android.voicesearch
adb shell rm -r /data/data/org.zenthought.su
Now there is no trace of each app, however My Downloads in Market still says:
Google Search by voice (Installed)
Superuser Whitelist (Installed)
Terminal Emulator (Installed)
Have I missed something out? Or does Market take a while to update/refresh the My Downloads list?
Hi,
I'm french and here in France we don't have Barnes & Nobles.
Last Week, I was in Miami and I bought a Nook Color because I saw on this forum that we can have a "full" android and I wanted a pdf reader and more if possible...
I have root my eReader tody and install some application. I installed some applications to test : how to uninstall them ?
I have an other question : how to add icons of this applications apk on the desktop ?
Think you for your job.
You need a 3rd party launcher such as ADW or LauncherPro to do either of these things. The default nook launcher doesnt support app shortcuts or uninstalling apps.
How do you use launcherpro to uninstall apps?
You need to change your launcher to a 3rd party one. I prefer Zeam. It works the best. Then while in the. App drawer, press and hold the app you want and drag it to either the desktop or the app bar.
To uninstall, you can either use an app such as TitaniumBackup or use RootExplorer to remove the. Apk in /data/app and the dir in /data/data

I have never seen zeam before but I like it so far. Thanks for the sugestion
To uninstall apps using ADB:
First get a list of packages installed on your NC:
Code:
adb shell pm list packages
Figure out what package you want to uninstall from that list. It might be helpful to pipe the output from the above command through some tool to search for you. For example let's say I want to uninstall Raging Thunder 2, I would do this:
Under Linux:
Code:
adb shell pm list packages | grep -i thunder
Under Windows:
Code:
adb shell pm list packages | find /i "thunder"
The output of which is:
Code:
package:com.polarbit.rthunder2lite
So now I know the name of the package. To uninstall that package I would enter the following:
Code:
adb uninstall com.polarbit.rthunder2lite
And that's it. That's how you uninstall an app using adb.
To add icons you need to install an alternative launcher since the stock NookColor launcher doesn't let you do this. I like Zeam. Each launcher will have its own method for then adding icons to the desktop, but typically you tap and hold down on the background and then a menu pops up with the option to add items.
Hi guys,
i was wondering which custom ROM has limited or completely cancelled functionality of sending data to Google. Which custom ROM is "safest" and "most secure" in this area? if it is possible to use some application, which limits/prevents apps (or OS directly) to access sensitive data and send them "anywhere" in an uncontrolled way - please let me know. Thank you.
Kind regards,
tlsty

Try using CM10 with Orbot app enabled (=TOR, network anonymizer), also use Xposed and the module XPrivacy.
It is hard to prevent Google from observing your device if the device os itself os made by Google. ^^
I think that's not a question in between the different ROM's. But of you ask this question, the general answer would be the older the "better".
Than higher the version no. of Google services and then more Google apps installed than more meta-date transfers.
The easiest solution is not installing Gapps, and disabling "let Google apps use this device's location any time it is on".

Hi peter-k,
thx for suggestion. it makes sense i already disabled the location providing and anything what i know as IT guy, but i am considering to choose a custom rom (CMpreferably). do custom roms have google services running? is it possible to actually stop them / prevent them from starting on the boot?
thx

Even on stock ROM you can totally prevent any and all google services from running. You can try with Autostart Manager, System Tuner, and I think there even might be an Xposed module that does that too.
I for one disable/freeze some of the Google Services/apps, and only enable them when I need access to the Play Store; I use a script with Smanager, takes about 10 seconds and is a lot easier and practical than looking for and disabling receivers every time I flash a new ROM.

1.- Install Smanager from the Play Store.
2.- Copy the attached files to your sdcard (skip to step 4), or
3.- Use Smanager to create two new scripts with the following code:
Filename 1: enableplaystore
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# enable play store
pm enable com.android.vending
pm enable com.google.android.gsf
pm enable com.google.android.location
pm enable com.google.android.gms
Filename 2: disableplaystore
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# disable play store
pm disable com.android.vending
pm disable com.google.android.gsf
pm disable com.google.android.location
pm disable com.google.android.gms
4.- Use Smanager to navigate to the location where you copied/saved the scripts, select one of the scripts and mark the "SU" box so that it runs with Superuser access, then press the "Save" button. Repeat for the second script.
To run the scripts you can either:
- Open SManager and press the Menu button, then press Scripts, then select the script you want to run and press the "Run" button
- Create widgets on your home screen that point to the script you want to run
- Install SMwidgets from the Play Store and create shortcuts to your scripts (which is more organized since you can put all your shortcuts in a folder).
Then, you can use the "disableplaystore" to disable the selected packages, and "enableplaystore" to enable it whenever you need access to the Google Services Framework/Location Services/Play Store, etc.
Just so you know, this will prevent apps that use Google's GCM service to deliver notifications to your phone, but I figured you already knew that since you want to disable everything from contacting Google.
So the creation of parallel workspaces is blocked in the Security Policy of 8.0, preventing multiple copies of the same app. However, Samsung's Dual Messenger still successfully copies apps it sees as messenger apps, and allows them to run just fine. So what exactly determines what Samsung is willing to let appear here as "Messenger app", so that I can manually add the non-messenger apps I need multiple instances of.
Thanks
I don't know how Samsung determines their "dual app" policy. But you can use the "Secure Folder" to create another copy of any app you would like, the only problem is that it is secure and you have to use fingerprint/password every time you access the app. That's the only inconvenience.

thanks for the feedback, unfortunately secure folder is the first thing to go when you unlock your phone =/
I've found a method that requires ADB. NO ROOT NEEDED.
Step 1: Enable Dual Messenger for an existing app (e.g. WhatsApp).
Step 2: Enable USB Debugging and connect your device to your computer.
Step 3: Open command prompt in your adb folder.
Step 4: Type
Code:
adb shell
Step 5: Type
Code:
pm list users
Step 6: In the resulting list, find the user named "DUAL_APP" and get its number. For example, the number is 95 on my device:
Code:
UserInfo{95:DUAL_APP:20000030} running
Step 7: Type
Code:
exit
Step 8: Copy your desired apk file to your adb folder.
Step 9: Type
Code:
adb install --user 95 desired_app.apk
Remember to replace "95" with whatever number you saw in Step 6.
Wait for the process to finish. A SUCCESS message should be displayed.
The app of your choice will now be installed in Dual Messenger.

I tried and not successful
Mine has 3 users though. So i use 95 and installed as instructed. But app cannot be found
any idea? here is my list of users.

I did as I said today, but it didn't work (google translate used)
edit:
I tried again now and the second app appeared in the app drawer. very thanks
this is awesome.. i tried this method to push pokemon go there, it appears in app drawer, but it kept seeking for location permission.
i checked, location permission is granted.. but it still prompts me for it.
checked with wechat, another app i have installed on dual messenger, it is able to use location services without a problem.
any idea how to fix this? if i can fix this, i can launch 2 pokemon go in split view at a push of a button (app pairs).
For now, i am using pokemon go from secure folder and normal installation.. and manually switching it to split view. will be awesome to have it under dual messenger and i can launch both apps at the same time, with split view.

You can install pokemon go from the Galaxy Store, both apps (gplay and galaxy store) have different package names so you can run both instances at the same time
Thank you very much. I've been using Island to do this but I really prefer the system built in option.
On a second thought, apps installed this way don't have access to any permission :crying:

It works!
If you want, after installing the app you want, you could remove the dual messenger from Settings. Your installed app will still be there
I tried this adb procedure for Signal and it works. Permissions do not work initially after doing this procedure, for example, when first starting the secondary Signal it doesn't want to show your contacts. I found a workaround for this.
When going to Apps settings, it shows both Signal instances. Selecting the secondary Signal instance shows that it has no permissions. Clicking through on Permissions directs you to the "App permissions" screen, which shows that the permissions are there. However, the icon shown is for the primary Signal instance. Seems like it mixes up both instances at this point and that it is not possible to access the permissions screen of the secondary Signal instance.
I found that when I go back to the Apps screen and select "Permission Manager" in the menu, then select a specific permission, such as Contacts, it will show a list with all apps that have/do not have this permission. The secondary Signal instance is listed under 'denied'. Selecting it then allows its Contact permission to be set directly. Moreover, selecting "See all Signal permissions" on this screen goes to the correct App permissions screen for the secondary Signal instance, i.e. it shows the icon with the dual app icon badge. Here it is possible to set all desired permissions. Contacts are now visible in the secondary Signal instance and I was also able to access my pictures after allowing access to media.
Hi,
This might help out some of you. I own a Galaxy S21 5G. Wanted to install Signal as a Dual Messenger app, but as of today, Samsung does not officialy supports it.
So I followed VincentThaker steps then forsel's details regarding contacts access.
It worked BUT I needed to do a few things to make it work:
1. Step 9: Getting the Signal app from the website, even if it has same version number as the installed version, does not work as it gives you an '[INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE] error when trying to install.
You have thus to get the same apk file from the already installed Signal app.
To do it, use the following commands:
adb shell pm path org.thoughtcrime.securesms --> To retrieve the path of the .apk file already installed on your phone.
Then with the path retrieved, type:
adb pull <signal_apk_path_source> <your_destination_folder_on_your_pc_path>
For example:
adb pull /data/app/~~K4TFGjn3Sl0Ue-e6zvv8mQ==/org.thoughtcrime.securesms-RaqtFP_b3phb1CaEL3Q5hw==/base.apk C:\Temp\base.apk
Then put this base.apk file into the ADB folder. You can now proceed with step 9
Thanks so much to all that helped me achieve installing Signal as a dual messenger app

you can grant them in adb.... i used
.\adb shell pm grant --user 95 com.discord android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
to give discord permissions to view my files... you can replace com.discord with the package name for what app you want (.\adb shell pm list packages --user 95 to find it) then look up the name to what permission you want
also im as dumb as you can get and in no way am i knowledgeable about any of this... i slapped together that line from other times i needed to use adb and got it to work soooo :/
ok so i made progress on this... and holly crap i did something...
i checked the packages on dual messenger and there was no play services... no play store without hard work... that means i need to use an alt app store if i dont want to indent my head with random permission grants i dont understand. so i chose to use aurora store because you dont need a google account and it uses the play store servers. now i can download any app on the play store a 2nd time as a 2nd app in dual messenger without adb for each one...
ok so heres how i did it
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.aurora.store/ get aurora store with that link (try it on your phone like a normal apk install first to avoid issues)
get that apk into your adb folder and name it something easy to type like aurora (i used aurora.apk so change that to yours)
adb install --user 95 aurora.apk
go through the setup with the default settings until it asks for permissions
.\adb shell pm grant --user 95 com.aurora.store android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
.\adb shell pm grant --user 95 com.aurora.store android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
.\adb shell appops set --user 95 com.aurora.store MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE allow
.\adb shell appops set --user 95 com.aurora.store REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES allow
USE GUEST MODE (unless you are in a beta programme)
now you should have the app store installed and it should get perms to install apps (this way was important so its on the dual messenger account and can install inside it)
if you want to install an app it might say that its installed... this is because it is.... on your main account... its just confused to install do this
3 dots on the top right
manual download
type the version number provided
check
confirm the install
this app store uses googles servers so its safe (to my knowledge) and you can even copy a link to the file from google's servers in the apps downloads menu
there is definitely more we can do to make dual messenger work perfectly with any app and any service.... anyone who can contribute please do
EDIT: apps might crash if they aren't on the main account so you should try to install this store with your phone like a normal apk first... also if you are in any beta programmes to apps you will need to log into your google account instead of anonymous so there isn't a version issue.

Hi guys, most of the Realme users aren't a fan of the color OS since its heavy, looks immature, and filled with bloatware. However there is a way to remove all the bloatware in Color OS. NO ROOT IS REQUIRED AND ITS NOOB FRIENDLY.
Code:
* DO NOT REMOVE ANY IMPORTANT SYSTEM APP, I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF SOMETHING UNEXPECTED HAPPENS WITH YOUR DEVICE ;_;
REQUIREMENTS:
1. A PC/laptop with drivers and minimal ADB installed.
2. Realme XT, and a type-C USB cable to connect the device to the computer/laptop.
3. Package viewer app that can be installed from Playstore. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.csdroid.pkg&hl=en_US
PROCEDURE:
Firstly, go to settings, click on 'About Phone' and continuously tap the Version until it says that 'now your'e a developer'. Then go to additional settings, developer options, enable it and turn on the "USB DEBUGGING" option under developer options.
1. Now connect your phone to PC/laptop using the data cable, and choose transfer files option from the popup on your phone.
2. Now migrate to the folder where minimal ADB is installed, and hold shift key and right click on mouse button, and click on 'Open Powershell window here'.
3. Now type 'adb devices' on the powershell window, and allow access from from device. A serial code must be shown on your screen.
4. Now type 'adb shell' and press enter. Now a new line should come starting with "RMX1921:/ $" , means we are good to go.
5. Now you have to enter commands to remove apps. The command is 'pm uninstall -k --user 0 package name' then press enter. In the place of package name, you have to type the name of the package which needs to be installed. Now open the package viewer app and look for the package name of the app which needs to be removed. You can remove the built-in bowser, calculator, compass, app market, music, roaming, video, weather, etc.
For example, if you need to remove browser, the command which you have to type is, 'pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.nearme.browser' then press enter. You'll see a message saying success. Bullseye! Happy bloatware removing!!
6. If you wanna install any app again, in adb shell, type "cmd package install-existing <package name>" and the particular app will be reinstalled.
COMMANDS USED:(Type these after typing "adb shell")
*For removing an app,
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name>
*For installing it back,
Code:
cmd package install-existing <package name>
If you have any doubts, feel free to comment. I'll be happy to help you.
Thank you. Cheers.

You can remove the apps which are provided by realme, like their browser, app market, compass, roaming, weather etc. Don't remove any system apps. (Google related and framework related apps).
This is a really good info. Thanks a ton for this procedure of bloatware removal. I was really searching for root to remove these bloatwares. But without root this is awesome.
Tell me one thing, by same procedure can we install any app as system app?

You're welcome.
For installing an app as a system app, you need root access.

Can you please elaborate on this further?
These are the apps I'm planning to get rid of, but due to the lack of adequate information I'm reluctant to actually uninstall them, anticipating whether the action may cause system wide instability.
Clone Phone
Game Center (however, I could NOT find any package name for this one on App Inspaector)
File Manager (I want to replace it with Solid Explorer Pro)
Messages (I want to make Microsoft SMS Organiser as one and only messaging app; hence, this one is important)
Photos (want to replace it by Google Photos)
I tried deleting all of them once - which resulted me unable to select ringtone/notification/alarmtone of my choice - forcing me to factory reset the phone.
Yes, I know I can assign default apps through the app manager setting - but what is the point of keeping two messaging apps (or for that matter, two gallery apps)?
I need to have these information about the cross-dependencies of these apps with the system wide instability issues. Thanks in advance.
could you share the list of maximum number of bloatware, those can be removed safely without tampering os?

Of these apps, you can remove clone phone. It won't cause any issue. You can't remove game centre (since the package name is unknown). Since file manager is linked with the ringtone selection, don't remove it too. Photos and Messages can be removed.
However i would recommend you to remove clone phone and photos app from your mentioned list of apps, since others are framework related apps.

As i said previously, you can remove the bloatware related to color OS. I can give the list of apps which i have removed, and i have no issues with the OS.
1. App market
2. Browser
3. Calculator
4. Clone phone
5. Keep notes
6. Music
7. Video Player
8. Weather and weather services
9. YouTube.
Do not remove any framework related apps like file manager. I'm not responsible if any unstablity occurs due to the removal of framework apps.

The package name for Game Center is com.nearme.gamecenter but every time I try to uninstall it, the prompt just tells me its failed [delete_failed_internal_error]
Anyone know a way around this?

You can perform a factory reset to restore your phone to original state. All the removed bloatware apps will be reinstalled. Or else, you can just use the command to reinstall the particular app. The command is given in the first post.
