Searched the entire Note 9 forum for the bloatware removal thread, but cannot open it. I've tried 3 different browsers.
It is circled in red, in the first pic and the resulting screen when selected is the second pic.
Its got 126 replies, but won't open.
Why is this?

The link that was posted here does indeed have an extensive list & has the various commands (I'd use disable,since it ca be reversed vs uninstall,which requires a factory reset to restore).
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79118360&postcount=6
The affected functions/apps are conveniently grouped together,making it much easier to troubleshoot if anything desirable gets broken.

That's a good article/tutorial, but, since it was published, disable/enable commands have been found to work vs uninstall.
If you're absolutely sure you want to uninstall, that's fine, but, I see no advantages vs disabling.
You're not going to be able to repurpose the storage by deleting,& disabling is easily reversible.

Cool, I think you only need to freeze one .apk to disable the system updates.
I had a conversation with someone here recently that was on VZW & IIRC, VZW changed the name of the apk(s) responsible.
If you haven't already isolated which one(s) they are, I could look back at my older posts & get that info...

I'm using Adhell3 as well & have not been prompted to update my T-Mobile Note 9.
Tried out Pie & at least on the Note 9, did not like it at all, akin to how the Note 5 seemed like a downgrade from the Note 4.
If you can't trigger the "Check for Updates" in settings, I'd think that should suffice.

Essentially what @KOLIOSIS already said; use disable user option. Although with Ah3 there is no need it might get handy if keys for Ah3 can't be generated.

So, according to drakon.us, Samsung has provided factory bootloader unlocker in the Samsung App store.
Search for "CROM Service", You can see the process here:
https://youtu.be/KTTgXqaP7Rk
I'm in preorder hell waiting for my gold S6E from Verizon so I can't verify independently. Is this something we can use?
Seems it's not showing up in the US Store. I'll see if anyone I know in that region can grab the app for us. Might be worth looking into.
So there was a link here to a place to find the app, then poof it magically disappeared. LOL gotta love how that happens. Regardless, the app that was linked did not work, it downloaded and installed fine, but when trying to open it, it just force closes.

Skyline,
No need for a hook up.There's a thread in the hacker/dev forum with both versions of the apk that I've come across... They're available to download there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...sung-factory-bootloader-unlocker-apk-t3086609
So is there a way to make this work .... FC for me after installing
Well like I said earlier, I'm trying to relearn all this after not using it for six or so years... My intuition tells me that this tool is invaluable, and we know it is functional as we've seen on a Galaxy Tab, it does install and load, but after the disclaimer, it FC's. This is telling me it is probable that the device is simply failing a version or class checker.
If that is true, depending on how this was created, the source can be altered to work with our devices. What's critical here is that these are official Samsung apps; we're not recreating the wheel here. What we're doing is looking at an unencrypted tool that was designed specifically for the purpose of unlocking our device. That's why I posted these to Hacking/Dev. While I am starting almost from square one, someone who is familiar with the environment and scripting language would be far ahead of me on the curve.
Will it work out of the box? Nope, but there is the potential it can be made to work.

Good lord I hope you or someone else gets it to work. There's hope!
Decompiled the apk and explored around a little, heres the strings.xml. Just wanting to share what it shows.
I really hope this goes somewhere. If this gets ported than I will be so thankful. If there is anything I can do to help I would but I have not much experience with programming
Title is misleading. I would edit it
Done.
Any updates on progress or is it completely dead?
By the looks of it you can get it to work you just need to obtain root first... Which means it serves no use seeing as the phones that have root are already bootloader unlocked

But phones with locked BL's can be rooted given the right tool is created. And if it is then once rooted we can unlock our BL's and flash Roms like everyone else.
Sent from My Samsung Galaxy S6 "Pure" Black
Root doesn't guarantee any bootloader unlock. If that was true, then every phone with root would have an unlocked bootloader, which isn't the case.
Root would be nice, but without an unlocked bootloader I see many bricks happening from inexperienced users pushing things too far and not knowing a way out.
This is not your typical Nexus crowd in here.
Every now and our great devs give us ability to install ported cameras from other devices (HTC, Motorola etc.)
I was wondering if its even possible to port camera from LG G4? Had this phone shortly between Note 3 and my current Note 4 , and its by far the best camera app I've ever seen on a cell phone (imho).
I actually have another G4 available that my wife is using, so if I can help to make this happen l would be more than happy to.
No, I don't think so.. different system files probably won't be compatible...

Is there a way to turn off the Quick Settings at the top of the Settings app?
Exactly, what are you referring to? The gear shaped button at top right in the drop down notification panel, or the quick settings tiles, or what?
Can you post a screenshot?
My Note 5 on MM had it but my Note 8 on N doesn't.
At the top of the SETTINGS menu. See attached screenshot.
That doesn't look like stock...
Your settings look absolutely different from my settings, what model is yours? Looks like a different phone!

That is a Note 8, model number SM-N950U (Verizon).
If you hit the 3 menu button in the top right corner, select "Standard List". I bet your all's phone is on "Simplified List" for the settings menu.
I know that option from earlier phones, but on my unbranded N950U1 the 3 dots are not available in settings...

I didn't have them until I had to do a factory reset last weekend.
I never had the 3 dot for changing the style, I Did 2 factory resets for some unrelated issues with an app, but nothing changed
Ok, I can live without it - not looking forward to factory reset ?
Probably has a clone.

Must be a Verizon thing. My N950F (XEF unbranded) doesn't look like that & neither do my parents' N950U (TMO). Verizon is always trying to make their apps/features different from the rest.
Again, my TMO Note 5 on Marshmallow had quick settings like that but there was no way to turn it completely off.

Well if I have a clone Verizon screwed up. I got it at a Verizon store new in the box.
See attached screen shot of my About Phone section. I'm on 7.1.1 with 1/1/18 security patch.
Yup, it's a Verizon thing......
I changed the following line to VZW & sure enough it looked liked the OP's menu.
<CscFeature_Setting_ConfigOpMenuStructure>TMB</CscFeature_Setting_ConfigOpMenuStructure>
So if you're rooted change the line above to a CSC code other than VZW (but when I changed it to VZW it also changed my data indicator icon back to stock international even though I have it set to LTE).

I just hit the back button and it goes away, then I set it to ignore for 2 hours in notification panel. Why the heck is that the only option Google?!
I should've held off updating since I'm not sure if the night / low light shots being yellow/warm is from the update.

In the future, the gcam port is dependenant on the phone it's intended for, otherwise you need to adjust the settings manually.id highly suggest not touching ANY settings in the camera app that are in the " settings" menu. You can change the camera modes and stuff but don't touch the settings menu.
As for whitch version to download, any gcam that is in red and Bold is a stable working non beta version.

BTW, I have changed many of the settings (as suggested when they came out) in earlier versions to get them to work.
Thanks anyway.
So can anyone point me to the correct gcam for my Note 9 Snapdragon? I assume the latest and greatest Google cam port is pretty much install and use as is? I'm seeing several in Red and bold.. Haven't been keeping up lately. Thanks
