Hi,
I use SwiftKey ($) as my standard keyboard on the S3 since the built in keyboard mostly stinks. But the one problem is the input method reverts to the Samsung keyboard when the device reboots. I searched around & couldn't find exactly what I was after, so thought I'd post my solution here to pay it forward. :angel:
Requirements:
Rooted phone (using SuperSU free)
Tasker ($)
Secure Settings (free)
Busybox (free)
Process:
0. before starting, install Secure Settings, go to system+ tab, click to enable. It will help you get busybox if not installed. Once installed, again go to system+ tab and get it Enabled.
1. create a tasker "Event" profile
2. Event type is System>Device Boot. There are no options here, tap to go back
3. New task, give it a name ("Change Input Method" is good)
4. + to create an action, then Task>Wait. I put 40 seconds here. This is the delay after reboot before tasker goes & changes the method. It takes a while for my phone to be ready to roll after a reboot. YMMV. Tap top left to go back.
5. Now + to add another action and select plugin
6. Secure Settings, pencil to modify configuration
7. System+ Actions>Input Method, tap to select the input method (Swiftkey for me but this could be anything you want).
8. Click the save icon.
That's it. Try rebooting and see if the input method is changed to Swiftkey after the reboot. Works for me! Enjoy! :laugh:

Big thanks to user AL_IRAQI for this important fix as it was a MAJOR annoyance and privacy issue for me on lollipop!
Are you referring to the notifications on lock screen?
If so, they are super annoying.

Would this enable Pandora to be controlled from lock screen?
Nice!
Any idea on how to remove the quick connect and sfinder buttons from the notification panel?

Hello,i had before a Galaxy S5, LG G3, and it worked with the SQlite editor procedure , but when installing SQlite on the M8 (grant supersu acces and all of that) it says that no database found (attached a screenshot below) , the same thing happens on my Moto G 2014, so i thought it can't be that i have the S-ON, i tried also changing SElinux to permissive but no luck :crying:
I solved this :good:

Hello,
I just got my One Plus 3 a day ago and I have setup Nova Launcher as my Home Launcher. Installed my necessary apps. For some reason I cannot figure out, everytime I go into Settings, when I press the Home button, it asks what launcher to use as default. I always select Nova Launcher but when I go back to settings, it happens again. What is wrong with my Settings?
I have read that some apps act as a launcher so I installed Launcher Switcher and found that there are 3 launchers to choose from, OnePlus Launcher, Nova Launcher and File Manager. What is this File Manager App? I tried to go into Settings > App > File Manager but I cannot disable this.
Also I have read some apps that when they uninstalled those apps, the problem went away. For example is the Hotmail app. I don't have this app installed and so far, I just notice the problem after going in Settings App. Also, I have read that Nova Launcher will detect which app is causing the problem but I cannot see that on my side. No notification by Nova Launcher informing me of problematic apps that is causing the default home launcher to reset frequently.
I am not rooted, no custom recovery installed but I think my bootloader is unlocked because when I power ON my phone, I get the "It cannot be trusted" thing on boot up. OS version is 3.1.3
Thanks for the help.
[UPDATE]
1. I also encounter the problem after switching apps via Recents App button. For example I open Facebook, when I press Home button, its fine. I open Spotify, and press Home, its still fine. When I access Facebook via Recent Apps button, and then click Home, the problem occurs. Please help.
You can make your choice of launcher as default app by selecting in settings - home and select your default launcher
I had this exact same problem.
Your device has been flashed with a an unofficial rom (thats why you get that warning when switching the phone on for 5 seconds).
It was most probably done by whoever you bought the phone from. They usually do it to move from Hydrogen to Oxygen, but in the process they load in some crapware.
You need to flash your device to stock Oxygen using the official Rom.

you can reinstall the firmware from official oneplus website and after flashing the latest firmware, go into developer options (you have to enable them first by going to about phone and tapping the build no. 7 times, then enable advance reboot and usb debugging.) do not personalise your phone or set it up. reboot into bootlader and using adb and fastboot run the command "fastboot oem lock" this will erase all your data and reset your phone again and you wont get the splash screen message again.

Amazing.
How about other applications? Is it safe to install other simple apps without dependency on Google Play?
Did you try Torque?
This hack is missing a very important part: how to backup everything and restore to factory state.

Thanks for sharing this knowledge. I tried getting into Engineering Mode in Kia Sorento 2019 using this method and it doesn't seem to work. The local dealer installed Waze and a radio app on it so there must be a way to install other apps as well. Any idea of an alternative access method or what to try next?

It's terrible, I'm warning ⚠ you in my post
so you have 2 ways:
1. Hard: find a good radiomechanic or mobile phone fixer man and give your device to him and show this instructions https://www.drive2.ru/l/523031635092832690/
Than wait...
2. Easy: goes to hyundai dealer and said that "I woked up in the morning, got my, start the engine and saw hyundai logo... It's warranty!"
So, if I'm will be on your place - I'm choosed second way
hello
thank you.. i wait an answer from my cc.
Apk not compatible
Hi,
Thanks zavpasha for all the procedure !
Working as a driver, I wonder if an app like " uber driver" could run onto this tablet.
I did the test by launching the .apk and very quickly an error says the package is not compliant.
Versions of this app are available here:
www apkmirror com/apk/uber-technologies-inc/uber-driver/
Question: could it help to setup in developper + debug mode ?
Cheers
