[Q] Does the S6 root work for Edge?

I was checking out the Root Thread for S6 and realized that my Edge's ROM version matched one on there except for the G925 vs G920. Would that root work on my Edge's similar ROM?

Never EVER try to root your phone unless it meets ALL the requirements! Mine is a SAMSUNG-SM-G925V. Unless that root is developed for a SAMSUNG-SM-G925V, you're taking a chance on bricking your phone. There are things you can do to remove bloatware and improve battery performance, which are a couple of the main reasons for installing a different ROM. I've done it myself and find battery performance has drastically improved. Do some research and you'll find what settings you can change and which apps you can either uninstall or disable. I'm happy with the snappiness and performance of this phone and find with some simple adjustments, it makes this phone even better. We will just have to be patient to see if the bootloader can be unlocked. Who knows when or if that will happen any time soon! Hope that addresses your question.

I didn't realize that was the case and went ahead installing the apk. Bad news, it didn't work. Good news, the app tells you it doesn't work for G925V yet.

There's been an update. Version 3.2 of the app works fine on current Verizon S6 Edge software. I currently am sitting on one with root.

That's awesome news, thanks! I'll try it out when I get home today.

Yup - just used the updated APK and it worked like a charm. Went ahead and swapped out King for SuperSU.. that too works great.

How did you swapped king for super su?

Check out the Q&A area of the PINGPONGROOT thread.. its all listed in there. I copied/pasted from it, but it might not transfer the code exactly correct..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-pingpongroot-s6-root-tool-t3103016
Q: I'd like switching to SuperSU, what shall I do?
A: Kinguser does not have a "swtich" function. Follow these steps to do so manually: (if you are not familiar with adb, see this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=269)
1. Download supersu.7z and extract it. You will get the files needed to install Supersu.
2. Using adb to push su and busybox (if not installed) to /data/local/tmp.
Code:
adb push su /data/local/tmp
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp
3. Start a su session and run the following commands:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
cat /data/local/tmp/su >/system/xbin/daemonsu && chmod 0755 /system/xbin/daemonsu
cat /data/local/tmp/busybox >/system/bin/busybox && chmod 0755 /system/bin/busybox
daemonsu -d &
Then keep the session running.
4. Open Kinguser, go to Settings -> Root authorization setting -> Remove Root permission. Click to remove root permission. Your su session should be still running.
5. Uninstall Kinguser app.
6. Go back to the su session and run following commands to replace su and cleanup:
Code:
cat /data/local/tmp/su >/system/xbin/su && chmod 0755 /system/xbin/su
busybox chattr -ia /system/bin/ddexe
busybox chattr -ia /system/bin/ddexe_real
cat /system/bin/ddexe_real >/system/bin/ddexe
busybox chattr -ia /system/xbin/ku.sud
rm /system/xbin/ku.sud
rm /system/xbin/pidof
rm /system/xbin/supolicy
7. Install Supersu apk
8. Open Supersu apk to update files.
9. Reboot.

If your version matches what's in the pingpong root thread then yes. I rooted my S6E a few min ago.

rooted. has anyone installed TWRP? what's the best way to go about doing that? TWRP manager doesn't list verizon specific s6.
I want to flash the no-deep-sleep fix

I believe you can't install a custom recovery yet as it will trip knox. Might want to go through the posts on the root thread.

Thanks. Yeah sorry it's a bit hard to follow the latest news since there are a thousand threads on all the s6/edge forums talking about the same issue. If the recovery is untouched, do we need to worry about the deep sleep problem? I've read it was caused by recovery.

Debloating more apps, clean up status bar, & removing pesky permanent notifications

Debloating more apps, clean up status bar, & removing pesky permanent notifications
Hola
For those of us who are using the non-Chinese variant, meaning no bootloader unlock, we are forced to find other ways to accommodate the following:
1. Removing more bloatware / unneeded apps.
2. Be able to remove most system based icons from the status bar to allow other icons to show up given the limited space we have due to the notch.
3. Be able to remove permanent notifications from the notifications panel.
While using adb can accommodate all of the above, being able to control most of these items from an app is much easier to manage. Most, if not all, of the apps I mention below will cost you a few dollars but in my view are worth every penny and can be used on other devices.
Bloatware removal
App needed: App Freezer
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakasoftware.appfreezer&hl=en
Basic setup (taken almost verbatim from Play Store info):
1. Make sure you know how to use adb clearly! <- If you don't know to use adb, Google it!
2. Go to [Settings], go [Accounts], then remove All Accounts! <- This is a critical part of the setup!
3. Enable Android Debugging mode of your phone.
4. Run command
- adb shell dpm set-device-owner com.wakasoftware.appfreezer/.receiver.DPMReceiver
5. Reboot your phone, now you can add your accounts back and enjoy this app.
(For detailed instructions: http://wakasoftware.com/app-freezer-setup)
6. For general bloatware / unneeded app removal, I have attached an export from my App Freezer installation. OBVIOUSLY there are apps that I froze that I do not need or use, so go through the list and edit as needed. It is very difficult to find proper information on those com.Huawei.* files.
Status bar icon removal
App needed: SystemUI Tuner
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ystemuituner&rdid=com.zacharee1.systemuituner
Basic setup (taken almost verbatim from Play Store info):
1. Make sure you know how to use adb clearly! <- If you don't know to use adb, Google it!
2. Enable Android Debugging mode of your phone.
3. Run commands
- adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
- adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS
- adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.DUMP
4. Launch app and select which icon you want to remove. Note that unfortunately not all icons can be removed, like the unneeded VoLTE / HD system icon that always shows up unless you manually disable this feature.
5. RESTART your phone to make most of the selected icons removed. REMEMBER THAT SOME ICONS CANNOT BE REMOVED BY THIS APP!
Notification panel clean up
App needed: TidyPanel
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dharmapoudel.tidypanel
Basic setup:
1. Install, buy the Pro version (if you think it is worth it), assign needed permissions.
2. Select which permanent notifications you want removed.
3. Restart to ensure it continues to work after a reboot (though I think you may need the Pro version to enable this feature).
4. I found that some permanent notifications take some fine tuning to be removed by this app in terms of using a custom title or custom text. It is finicky indeed but once you get the hang of it, it works well. The app developer has a XDA thread in the main Apps sub-forum.
Yes, yes, three additional PAID applications to be installed to give us other features that we usually would be able to achieve with simple root or otherwise. Hopefully this helps someone else other there.

sad, but when i try to activate with adb always shows " Not allowed to set the device owner because there are already some accounts on the device"

Based on the initial response it is still detecting some other account on your device. Long shot but after removing all accounts try rebooting and try again (assuming you didn't do so already).

I don't understand, I did not have to remove any apps, just any accounts listed in the Users and Accounts section in Settings. Can you show us a screen capture of your phone of this section?

I don't have any un-needed apps that I can't hide, disable or install, and I don't have any persistent notifications either?

Not sure I understand your comment. If you are simply stating that you have no issues with your Mate 20 Pro, and don't want to remove / disable existing Huawei provided apps then that is absolutely fine, etc. My post is simply to share information on how I was able to get some features that I accustomed to using on other devices. Many us really like the hardware, but man their EMUI skin is a most difficult nut to crack :crying:
Only wish that Substratum can bring support for our device or at least for Android 9 Pie.

cant see the archives? maybe download an app similar to 'package name viewer' which will give you the package name to delete.
Please be cautious, some things should not be deleted and you may need a factory reset to get it back.

If a package that is uninstalled causes issues, you'll need a factory reset to get it back. Otherwise just unfreeze

Tired of all the pre-installed applications that come with your new phone. Most of them tend to be useless and some tend to be on annoying side with push notifications and battery drains.
One way to get rid of all these intruders is to root your device and delete them using some application or manual purge. Not everyone is comfortable with rooting and it's risks. Also, rooting is not an option on many phones coz of limited support from the developer community. Does that mean one has to learn to live with the bloat?
Thankfully, No. You can get rid of them with the use of ADB (Android Debugging Bridge). The method is safer than manual purge and would not break any system variables, allowing to keep accepting OTAs w/o any issues.
Let's Debloat your Phone.
Note: This method works on every OEM rom as well as custom rom without root access.
Requirements:
Android Platform Tools
Prerequisites:
Disable "App Vault", "Swipe up for google", "Wallpaper Carousel", "Find Device", "Mi Sync"(Don't confuse Mi Sync and Google Sync though)
Follow the steps carefully :
Initial Setup
1. Go to About Phone in Settings.
2. Tap on MIUI version/Build version until it shows You're now a developer. It might ask for password in some cases.
3. Go to Settings>Additional Settings>Developer Options or Settings>System>Developer Options.
4. Enable USB Debugging, Install via USB, USB Debugging(Security Settings). Accept all the prompts thrown.
Note: Most ROMs will only have USB Debugging toggle.
Note: On MIUI, the above step requires an MI Account.
Main Process
Connect your device to the PC now. Recommend using a good quality USB cable for this.
1. Extract the platform tools zip. Navigate to the folder.
2. Shift+Right click and select open command window here.
3. Type adb devices
4. Grant authorization on your phone.
5. Type adb devices again and ensure that it shows your device as connected and authorized.
Note: If your device doesn't show up, you might need to install latest USB drivers for your phone. It usually happens automatically if you have an updated OS. If that's not the case, use this and install the USB drivers.
6. Type adb shell.
7. Type
Code:
pm list packages | grep 'mi'
Here mi is a keyword. You can replace it with whatever you want. This command would return all packages which have the phrase mi in their name.
Type
Code:
pm list packages
for complete list of installed packages.
8. Type
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package-name>
Replace the <package-name> with the package you want to remove. The names can be obtained from the list command in the previous step.
Tip: Package name can be found in app list. Just tap on the small 'i' icon on the top right corner of each app page on MIUI. On custom roms, it's usually given at the bottom.
Tip : If you can't see all apps. Tap on the three dots in the top corner on "Manage Apps" page and tap "Show All Apps". SImilarly on custom roms, it can be achieved by selecting "Show System Apps".
I'm not going to cover all the OEMs or Custom Roms. The process is similar across all OEMs and Custom Roms. Packages that are safe to remove on MIUI are given below:

Conclusion
This is not a complete list. You can remove anything that you find annoying using these commands. Just replace the package name with the package you wish to remove.
However, removing some apps could cause issues. Stay away from MI Account, Security and Google Services related apps. If you accidentally remove something and end up experiencing crashes, please follow the following steps.
Type
Code:
adb shell
.
Type
Code:
cmd package install-existing <name-of-package>
Replace <name-of-package> with the name of the package to be restored.
Note : The method doesn't delete the application. It only changes the permissions of each package and hides it in the system. A Factory Reset, OTA update or a Reinstall would restore the application. Also, if you create a new user, he would have access to the removed applications.
MOD EDIT: Telegram link removed, please read the STICKY!

using this much easier and faster https://github.com/Szaki/XiaomiADBFastbootTools

if i remember correctly when i was on miui (ginkgo)
i removed "Find Device" and the phone stay in bootloop
anyway ...
the command : pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package-name>
can remove app for user 0
but what if i want to remove the app for all users ???

It's personal choice. The tool does the same thing. This is for people who want to do it manually without a tool.
Also that tool is specific to the xiaomi devices to an extent. You can use this on any android smartphone. This doesn't have java dependencies as well.

You can't remove an app completely from the system without root access. If you have a second user, you have to remove it for other users as well.
And I haven't mentioned find find device anywhere.

Great, debloated here. Missed play music only.

Well if you're have root, and can mount system as rw. You could use some root explorer and remove the apk's and there folder. But doing this prevents the ability for OTA update because now the system is changed.
The space saved by doing this is so tiny, you will never notice it.

Very nice thread.
FYI, I have been doing this on stock ROMs for long time. It's nice to see a listed description.
FYI, with this adb method , your debloated apps will remain gone after an OTA update. At least for me they do.

Well if you're have root, and can mount system as rw. You could use some root explorer and remove the apk's and there folder. But doing this prevents the ability for OTA update because now the system is changed.
The space saved by doing this is so tiny, you will never notice it

Well if you are concerned about the app data being left. Just run the command as in the . OP bit leave the "-k" off. This part of the command is (keep) , it keeps the user data on device. If you run the command without the -k, then it does not keep data.

Try running adb root and use the uninstall command on the package without the flags. Since you're rooted, it might just remove app + data.

loopypalm said:

when i use the comand the app is removed just for user 0 but it stays in the system

I asked everyone to disable those stuff, so to prevent any app from returning.

What problems are related to miui gallery removal? Please tell me I don't want to search over whole xda. It is probably bootloop too but I am not sure (hint from some github page).
---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 AM ----------
If I get it it to bootloop by debloating, Can I fix it by adb? I know that I can reinstall app back by adb. I don't have root and twrp so far. Does it respond to adb during this bootloop?

If you get bootloop from adb app uninstall, you will not get to use adb. Factory reset from recovery will undo the changes.
As for the gallery apk. I had removed it and was no longer able to save any photos, from any camera. I was not able to delete files from device either. The gallery app is somehow forced into needed for /sdcard file permissions. You can set it to "adb hide". If you don't want to see it

Removing BLoatware

I found a nice and easy way to get rid of bloatware, WITHOUT root, and using Rakesh's bloatware list.
How To Remove Bloatware From Any Xiaomi Devices (Without Root): Easiest Way!
Have you just gotten a new phone and is it already filled up with a bunch of spooky apps preinstalled? Have you tried long pressing and dragging them up your screen to uninstall? Alas! There isn’t …

But when I try it, I get stuck after installing Java SE Development Kit–and Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools, when the software will not recognize my phone. (USB debugging was done)
This is new phone. What else do I need to have, before this will work? Some accounts? A simcard??
Thank You

I guess adb drivers are missing. To installing that. And why don't you use simple adb after installing drivers.
Adb shell
Pm uninstall --user 0 <package name>
Pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name>
Would recommend first one, second retains cache and some data.
Yes it's a less intuitive way, but I prefer this doing everything myself, at least trying to rely on less and less dependencies.
But using adb doesn't free up space, it's more like it just disables app, the only difference is that in both the cases APK is still in system, just don't show up in settings like as it will remain shown when disabled.

Of course it uses ADB......

Thank you for that list.
My problem is different..... I already have a list and I will of course compare it with yours. What I do not have is ACCESS.
The "usual" system, which I found here:
Does not recognize my phone. Probably, because I use no google or any other accounts. So I need to know what is needed to to access the bloatware, no matter what list I use...

Question Okay, I'm stupid...

So, I was going through and removing bloat from my phone and was trying to remove the Samsung Contacts app through `adb`, but apparently I removed the wrong thing and now the Phone, Messages, and Contacts app are crashing every time I try to open them. I removed "package:/system/priv-app/SamsungContactsProvider/SamsungContactsProvider.apk=com.samsung.android.providers.contacts" which is apparently a core service. I'm wondering if anyone might know how I could reinstall that APK?

install this apk should solve the problem

If worse comes to worse a factory reset will.
A lot of the bloatware is useful. I prefer to use a package disabler as I can easily toggle them on or off as needed real time.

It sat for a minute trying to install and then came up with, "App not installed" and says that every time I retry.

Trying install via adb I get: "
Performing Streamed Install
adb: failed to install /home/mhicks/Downloads/SamsungContactsProvider.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION: Package com.samsung.android.providers.contacts attempting to redeclare permission android.permission.SEND_CALL_LOG_CHANGE already owned by com.android.providers.contacts]"
Hmmm, perhaps I should remove Google Contacts first...

Okay, that helped, but now I'm getting: "
Performing Streamed Install
adb: failed to install /home/mhicks/Downloads/SamsungContactsProvider.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE]"

I thought deleting the "com.samsung.android.providers.contacts" might solve the problem, but trying gave me: "
./adb -d uninstall com.samsung.android.providers.contacts
Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]"

try these commands on pc
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.samsung.android.providers.contacts
adb shell pm install -r --user 0 /system/priv-app/SamsungContactsProvider/SamsungContactsProvider.apk

The first command returns: "Package com.samsung.android.providers.contacts installed for user: 0", but the second command returns: "Failure [-3001: INSTALL_FAILED_REJECTED_BY_BUILDTYPE]"

If you have deleted the apk with root you just have to paste it again in the folder /system/priv-app/SamsungContactsProvider

It is somewhat complicated to recover the device without wipe in the past I had these problems, it was solved with a higher version of the application

@rtd4, I suppose it's time for a wipe... Thanks for trying to help me.

If you had made a copy of all your apps including system apks with ApkExport you could now use that copy to restore it.
Now before you factory reset make a copy of your installed apps and any system updates then save it on the PC or SD card. After the reload you won't need Playstore. It speeds things up a lot...
APK Export (Backup & Share) - Apps on Google Play
Manage and extract your apps.

@blackhawk, thanks for the tip. Right now, I'm trying to set up a Telegram account so I can root my phone (US version) if I'm going to go through the trouble of wiping. Unfortunately, Telegram's SMS verification appears to be broken or at least doesn't like Mint Mobile... Fun day.

You're welcome.
You really don't need to root.
Consider the possible consequences carefully.
Package Disabler will easily block apks you don't want running.

Well, it would appear it's moot anyway since I'm at Baseband v4 and only v1 can be rooted apparently...

This is the one I use:
Home - Package Disabler
The only NON-root solution that let’s you disable any unwanted packages that come pre-installed / installed with your phone / tablet.
www.packagedisabler.com
It has an interactive widget that allows you to toggle selected entries on/off. It runs even in Safe mode so be careful what you disable. I've never had to do a factory reset because of it but the potential is there.
Unfortunately it no longer disables Google play Services but will disable all carrier bloatware including OTA updates.

Then how come you have removed apk from system?
In case you have used command like
pm disable packageName . Then try pm enable packageName
Or
If you have used
pm hide packageName then try
pm unhide packageName
