[Q] Stock Apps Keep Re-installing after restart?

So I unlocked my bootloader, installed TWRP and rooted my phone. Next I downloaded titanium backup and uninstalled all the apps that I didn't want like kid mode and fitbit and TV etc... But whenever I restart the phone, all the apps are reinstalled again. Never had this issue on my S4. Does anybody know what's up?

So what you're saying is that I have to flash a new kernel? If so, that's too complicated... I only rooted because I wanted to remove the bloatware stuff and leave everything else untouched. I'm kind of regretting it now.
Has anyone figured out a way to unroot and lock the bootloader again for the M8?

I understand - you're pretty new to this device and maybe to HTC's write protection they invented last year. That's ok mate.
With TWRP installed it's a very simple thing to flash the new kernel. Did you already do some flashing on these devices? I think it's more complicated to get root the first time than flashing a zip from TWRP. :good:
Anyway I'll help you there. Simply download Flars kernel and copy the zip-file to your internal SD-card. Boot into TWRP and choose the install option. Navigate to your internal SD and select that zip file. Start flashing and choose simply the defaults you get offered by the aroma installer. Finish, reboot and the write protection is gone. TB will work as always.

Thanks a trillion. But this thing was bugging me, so I said to hell with it and just installed the GPE RUU. How I don't have to deal with any of that nonsense since none of the bloat apps are installed in the first place. Now I just have to figure out how to reinstall TWRP and root again... This stuff seems a lot more complicated then just using ODIN on Samsung devices, at least for the time being while I'm still so new HTC stuff.

worked.

I'm using HTC since a couple of years and bought a S4 Mini for my daughter last year. Last week my sister stepped in with her Sony device. Don't ask how long it took me to understand and root these devices... lol.
If you need to know sth about HTC devices simply step in and pm me. But I think you'll be soon familiar with the differences! :good:

Supposed to.

Rootrider. Thanks for your posts on this subject. I too am new to HTC (3 x Galaxys before that).
How do you flash the wp_mod.ko file you posted the link to? Sounds like it will do the trick and stop reinserting of deleted apps.
Thanks

Working zip of Chinese stock rom for 6045I

First of all I am not a established developer still learning android system...... if anything creates problems after flashing this rom or after installing, dont blame me..
Proudly present the rom for Idol 3 6045I ported from it Chinese sibling TCL I806.
Fully working on my 6045I. Its stock 5.0.2 from TCL I806.
Many chinese apps have been removed but still few remains which can be removed by getting root.
Features:
1. Less Lags.
2. Fast.
3. Camera is working far better than the recent updates provided for 6045I.
How to install:
Caution : Before doing this, please make backup of your system & efs as mentioned by Famewolf in his thread of making backups.
1. Just download the zip from the link provided below and keep it in the root of sdcard.
2. Also download the gapps provided in the links. First link is which I installed on my device and second one is the latest. Keep it also in the root of the sdcard.
3. Now just boot into recovery mode i.e. TWRP , do not wipe anything, script will do it itself and just go to install and choose the stock chinese rom for 6045I.zip and flash.
4. Let the process to complete. It will ask to restart the system and just restart the system.
5. After first start choose language and other options, again boot into recovery mode and flash the gapps provided.
6. Here the stock chinese rom will run smoothly on your 6045I.
7. If TWRP gives error "error in executing binary" then you have to manually edit the updater-script but it depends on what your TWRP says about the error. So just ask me I will tell you what changes to make in updater-script.
After couple of manual restarts or with time rom will start to run smoothly.
Links :
Rom : removed due to some problems occurred after flashing.
gapps : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001614559 or https://basketbuild.com/gapps (choose android 5.0).
For any kind of help regarding to this rom pm me or just ask in this thread.
I will try my best
Caution : Does not works on 6045Y & 6045K.
Backup efs also in case u loose ur IMEI or having error of unknown baseband/ no network
If you like my work, dont forget to hit thanks......
Sorry for all the trouble caused.
Well I am also in the same boat as well.....

Woohoo. Gonna download this!!!

Now going to sleep, as have to go office in morning......

Quick question. Can this rom read/write ExFat? I'd rather have my sd card formatted to that so that i can store larger movie files.

Are there any real noticeable differences besides less lag and fast? Those two mean almost the same thing. Does this ROM offer anything major that the US stock ROM doesn't? Awesome work though making a new ROM for the community to try. We appreciate your work. :good:

One enhancement I read about was that it did have newer camera software. Many of the packages included are newer version levels than the ones included on our phones because the i806 came out after our models.

You should consider removing the system update checker from your custom rom. The icon appears in your screenshots so I'm assuming it's still included. Since the build.prop says it's a 6045i but it has the i806 codebase patches will never apply since the checksum's won't match.....so depending on what "version" it thinks it's on vs the update version the update checker will either never show an update or always show an update.

OK. I think I have this working. The ROM seems to be functional for me. Downloading all my apps now and getting it set up how I like. Will try to run it through the day tomorrow and see what I like and don't like... not expecting much difference over stock, but we'll see.

Anyone have a suggestion for a lollipop compatible "minimal gapps?" I'm really only interested in google play and gmail..no need for google+ etc.

I might still have a PA micro gapps file somewhere. Just need to see if it's 5.0 or 5.1.
Edit: Here you go. Just pick up the zero gapps. It works perfectly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792842
Another option is the Slimgapps official thread here. They do have a "zero gapps" package, and both 5.x I think.

Yupp bro.
Just edit build.prop with notepad++ and change it to 6045Y instead of 6045I and flash the rom.
Then check the log of TWRP specially before the error in executing updater binary.
It will say something about the check_cu.
If you will open updater script with notepad++ you will see first line of command saying "check_cu("6045I-2AALUS7");"
Just change this line ("6045I-2AALUS7") with the line shown in the TWRP similar to this ( something like 6045Y-XXXXXXX)
Then again flash the rom, gapps and hope it will work.
If it works, dont forget to hit thanks button :laugh:

Ok... I'll see, my phone is less than one week old and I swore myself that this one would be kept untouched for a year. I wanted to keep it clean for warranty purpose but one week later... I'm already rooted.
I'm kind of flashaholic so won't resist very long... Don't worry.
What will it update exactly? Is there a risk it will mess up the European radio part? Just to make sure I'll still get a good signal or loose imei.
I do have my twrp backup for boot and system image, will that be enough to get back to a previous working state?

I rooted my phone the next day it came to me,
Eventually i am also not going to get warranty as I imported this device from US to India.
N I personally dont care about warranty as none of the android device gets bricked completely, there is always a way.
Like I got stucked in bootloops in try of porting cm12.1 from other device.Even my backups failed to boot. Then I followed the mobile updater app provided by Alcatel and it simply restored my device to factory rom which will get updates also.
N warranty will not work if the device got physically damaged.
Yes backup will work.
After flashing this rom I would suggest you to make TWRP backup of this rom also alongwith Stock one.
I am getting a lot of range in network selection as it contains all the radios available for this device.

It's much safer to mod now since with Version 4.9.2 of the Mobile Q software from alcatel (you have to tell it you have a "pixi" for that version to appear as it's so new) allows you to put the phone in "download mode" and fully restore the device to factory condition. (tested by multiple idol 3 users of both the 6039 and 6045) This goes a long way towards making the device unbrickable.

I agree with you bro......:good::good:

Thanks both for your answers. Yes the Alcatel restore software makes things way easier to fix. I already installed it yesterday to make sure my phone drivers are installed for any "phone state". I also have the android sdk installed.
By the way, I am thinking to bring my small contribution to this forum by creating an " ultimate list of mods/softwares/issues" for this phone.
There have been so many news and achivements in the past few weeks, it's a bit difficult to read everything in the correct order.
So last question, how about the radio, imei, etc... Any risk on this?
And then, I think I'll give it a try.

I'm attaching a platform.xml file already modded to allow full read/write access to the external sd (just drop the .zip off the filename as that was just to get xda to allow me to upload it...it's a text file)....you might find it useful to replace this in yours.(/etc/permissions)..other options include pre-rooting...adding in init.d support....etc.

Ran this ROM overnight and through most of my day so far (about 3 hours off the charger). First impression is that it's about the same as stock, not that I was expecting any different. You get the TCL splash screen at boot but the overall UI is pretty much the same. Since I now have root I went ahead and used app quarantine to freeze the bloatware apps I didn't want. Kinda wishing I had installed minimal gapps, but I figure I'll be reflashing again soon since the floodgates are probably about to open with new ROMS anyway.
Conclusion: If you're curious, flash it, it doesn't hurt anything. It may be a hair smoother, and I haven't really tested the camera extensively enough before or after to be able to tell a difference.
Edit: Literally as soon as I submitted this message (from my PC) I went to turn wi-fi off and the phone decided to reboot. Really odd.

'Idiots' guide to root, backup, and ROM update ?...

Hi everyone,
Obviously this forum is a great resource for these head units, a lot of people putting in a lot of hard work (as is often the case on XDA).
I believe for some (myself included occasionally!) that the quantity of information and terms/language used can be a little overwhelming.
Add to that the fact that the forum is somewhat fragmented, it can be a bit hard to know where to start (although it is good that this is being addressed at the moment by splitting it up into sections.)
I was wondering if anybody had created or would be willing to look at creating, an 'idiots' style guide for the very basics.
I.e. assume that somebody with no knowledge in this field has purchased one of these units and simply wants to:
Get root access
Backup the current unit completely in case of problems updating etc
Locate the correct firmware/ROM for their unit.
Install the new firmware/ROM
Any further info can be found through research in the forums, all depending on what mods/apps etc the individual wants.
Thanks all!

I would be willing to put something together from what Ive read on here but I'm still unsure of the best way to take a backup? Is the only way not through TWRP which then means you can't update your MCU again?

You do not need a backup of your ROM as most factory ROMs are available for flashing.
did you read the Wiki-Artikel and the Knowledge-Thread?

Hi
Yes i did read them, and i'm sure i could use that to get through what i want to do.
Although the knowledge thread does state "IT IS ADVISABLE TO BACKUP YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE PLAYING WITH IT" so i assumed i did need to make some sort of backup
It also advises using "nandroid root" form play store, there are various apps with similar names to this, but not exactly this name.
Just little things like this put seeds of doubt in my OCD mind
Wasn't meaning to criticize in anyway, was just giving my opinion (which may well not be the same as everyone elses!)

Yes I've read it but I wanted to be absolutely sure I have a backup of my exact ROM. I also noticed on the server, the ROMs are not specific, for example I have a KLD2 but there are only KLD ROMs, is that an issue?

I agree. You are a developer: could explain to me why in these units, that theoretically they are Android, I can't do a full backup and in my Smartphone if I can do it.
For example with TWRP or CWM and retrieve it without problems.
I think that the former companion wants to say is:
I have my unit (Smartphone or auto) and when I have all my programs to my taste I do a backup. But one day I want to try some update that I have seen in the Forum. I do and I get wrong; as I have my backup, nothing happens. I restore it and that's all.
This I have done it many times with my Smartphone, from GingerBread to Lollipop.
Many Thanks

The original Recovery is not that advanced as TWRP and others are.
The problem is that it is using special proprietary code to flash the MCU and if you replace it you are not able to flash MCU anymore until you install the original recovery again.

Thanks mate. So the safest way to do a backup would be to take a backup of the original recovery then install TWRP and take a backup of the ROM with that? I know there are stock ROMs on the server but I would just like to be 100% sure.

I did this in my room "Go to Factory setting enter *#hct#root#"
After that I have root access and I can backup or freeze my apps with titanium backup. The problem is when I try to remove a system app, the app is not removed. I need to do more steeps?
thanks a lot

Go to apps and stop the one you are trying to remove. Change the extension to back or old. That should do it.

Yes and no. Joyous is a manufacturer. There are several resellers who go under different names. I believe pumpkin is one. Do a search for huifei and in the mega thread they list several of the resellers.

Hi all, I'm in the same boat that I am reading like fury but there are thousands of pages, so I really appreciate this thread, and the contributions and the Wiki's.
I've got a MX v2.72 and found the following worked perfectly to get me past the first hurdle.

If you are new to Android, the first thing I would suggest is looking at replacing the Launcher. This will give you a lot more freedom
to add widgets for things like Shuttle and other apps you may want to try. I would also leave the ROM stock for as long as you can stand to do so. Take notes as you work with the stock ROM of the changes you would like to make, and search through the threads here to find if
you can make them without flashing to a custom ROM.
Rooting this unit is quite simple by using the temporary root method. Enter *#hct#root# as the password when opening System Settings.
DO NOT REBOOT. First go to the Play Store and Install the SUPERSU app by CHAINFIRE Once you have done that, let the system reboot,
and then go back to System Settings and enter the password adboff This will turn off the temporary factory SuperUser app, but you will still be able to use the CHAINFIRE SUPERSU app you installed to control root access of your apps.
I will say that if you want to jump in off the deep end, Malaysk has put together some awesome stuff.
I started with a DSA Rooted Stock Rom and installed APEX Launcher, mostly because it let me get started with a built in root,
and it also gave me 2 or 3 GBs to install other apps where the Stock ROM from the Factory only had a 1 GB partition.
Have Fun, and
Good Luck,
Rick

I've now got to think about how to do the changes I want which include wanting to change default EQ and fader settings, button mapping, auto dimming, (some of that should be doable through the Xposed Mod) and finding a nicer launcher....

I still dont really understand how i can do a nandorid (or similar) backup, as i do not have root (see last post) and the backup apps require it.
The knowledge thread states the only way to root 4.4.4 is to install a pre rooted rom, meaning i could not backup factory rom.
I cannot see my rom available on here anywhere, and the manufacturer aren't providing it to me so far....

I do not remember what the the confirmation said, but a toast bubble popped up on the screen. maybe it said "root enabled" something along those lines. But after it is rooted in the settings there will be a new menu called Superuser.
If *#hct#root# is not working try adbon then *#hct#root#.
But my system is a KitKat 4.4.4 so I know it will work on 4.4.4. However, I have a Joying unit. From what I read Joyous makes a good number of these units but not all. I have no idea if your particular unit is compatible. Read the [url="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660662'] mega thread[/url] I think the various makers are addressed in there somewhere.

But my system is a KitKat 4.4.4 so I know it will work on 4.4.4. However, I have a Joying unit. From what I read Joyous makes a good number of these units but not all. I have no idea if your particular unit is compatible. Read the [url="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660662'] mega thread[/url] I think the various makers are addressed in there somewhere.

This code definitely does not work on my head unit unfortunately, just tried it several times, it states 'password incorrect'. And checked with a root checker app and supersu, definitely not got root

In the OP I had the ADB_Root_G930U_QE2Files.zip linked to the ADB_Root_G935U_QE2Files.zip zip so please make sure you have the ADB_Root_G930U_QE2Files.zip when downloading. Its fixed in the OP now so just double check

Wonderful. Can't thank you enough. Installed and setting up.

I recommend everyone put the Flashfire AP zip and Rom Zip on your internal storage as the AP file is so large that it may not be read properly do too limitations of some SD Cards. When you select AP file in Firmware there should be 4 partitions that are selected. If not then you have a bad download or need to have AP file on internal storage

Since only 2 people between this and edge thread. Have even tried it's obvious there is zero interest over here at AT&T for Rom development. I probably won't waste anymore time

I figured it would be worth it since AT&T people are on my Verizon thread a lot trying to flash that and it's not even for their phones and especially now that there is a way to have custom Rom without using engboot or root. People ask my why I don't make Sprint or AT&T roms well this is why. I was even going too make this rom and use AT&T firmware so everything worked

Hello. I know this forum is not as active as the Verizon thread for this mod, but I did have a question if anyone is willing to answer.
I was wondering what the process is for using adb to make an application a system app?
I saw others talking about doing this in the Verizon thread, as well as several posts mentioning a guide for how to do this without needing to root. I looked over several pages in the Verizon thread for how to accomplish this, but could only find bits and pieces scattered through several different pages. I probably didn't look hard enough, but I was wondering if someone could explain the process that works with this ROM.
Thank you.

Hey, I love this rom. It only took one time to finish
I have had issues with system where I would make edits using rom control and system would fail, I will try all your roms , I have been waiting for something on 7.0, very stable and fast!, would be glad to try betas

Omigawd I love this! I did end up rooting so as to modify string to give me data toggle. Working amazingly well. You are a hero. Everything seems to be working flawlessly. I am sure to mess something up though as I love to play.

Is WI-FI Calling not working for you

I guess my aggravation with running like butter on the original root process for a while, then taking a nose dive out of no where, re flashing, re rooting, editing build props, re editing build props, re flashing,...blah, blah, blah...I kind of over looked these roms. I mean, I had to rooted. Period. Been rooted on U using the 2.82 SU with tweaks (I think you tweaked it jrkruse?) for a good while, then out of no where, it crashes. Its crazy. I was just about to flash back to stock, and I saw this thread. Kanged or not (or whatever you said in another post on a different thread..lol) this is to cool. I got it going just before I had to go work this afternoon so I didn't get to mess with it much, but the fact that all the bs is gone, is enough for me. All I want is a choice of what to put on my phone. Definately have that now. Nice job jrkruse. I'm liking it. Only issue I'm having is calling out. Pretty sure i know what the deal is. Should only be a flesh wound. I'm going to mess around with it now. I'll post results if I figure it out. Thanks again jrkruse!! I know that it has to be pain to make a rom like this and only have a few posting about it, but dude, I really do appreciate it. I think if folks would give it a try, they would like it better than original root.

Samsung j2 Prime (sm-g532m) - how do I get LineageOS on this device?

I'm not completely brand new to flashing with custom roms, but I sometimes go 2-3 years running stock, so when I do come back I have forgotten everything and it feels like starting over.
So far I have achieved the following:
1 - backed up device
2 - reset device back to stock
3 - flashed stock image using Heimdall
Unfortunately after all that I am not sure if I have made any progress. It just took my phone back to factory settings.. My storage is full, my SDCard is empty and I can't push a file to the sdcard because I don't know how to reference the right path.
I tried flashing a TWRP recovery.img file to the recovery partition, and it indicated success. But when I boot into recovery it looks exactly like it did before. I get no TWRP gui interface. The TWRP app has no official build for this device, so is unusable. I also tried installing Magisk but got errors and just uninstalled it.
Frankly I don't know what to do yet. I'm not sure the device is officially 'rooted' or not. I'm not sure what to do next. Do I flash an Enigma Android 6 image? Do I have to do that before I can update to Android 9?

I don't have this device but, your best bet is to take a look at the following TWRP thread that's specific to your device and variants. Don't be afraid to ask for some member guidance as well.

Yes, that's where I got my twrp recovery.img file from. I'll go back through those steps and ask in the thread if I have further issues. Thanks.

Typically there is a reboot into system after flashing twrp. Some stock ROM replace twrp with stock recovery in that case.
Known workarounds:
Flash twrp to boot partition also
Remove battery after flashing twrp
Use windows Odin and unchecked reboot
Do some key tricks to force recovery during reboot.
Once twrp booted, it normally does tricks to not get overwritten.

Asgard holds your answer

OK, bad jokes about Nordic deities aside. Try using ODIN rather than Heimdall to flash TWRP. In ODIN, make sure the automatic reboot on exit feature is turned OFF. After exiting ODIN, MANUALLY reboot the thing into recovery mode using whatever multiple button combination is required, and you "should" find it starting up TWRP for you. ASSUMING that is so, then power off the device and re-start it. it "should" now be working correctly, meaning with whatever ROM you have in place and TWRP as the recovery. And if THAT worked, you can flash SU using TWRP if you are not already rooted and you are good to go. Good Luck.

I now have managed to finally get TWRP flashed. It worked this time. Could not begin to tell you what I did differently...
I managed to flash the custom ROM and am now dealing with two remaining issues - a password I am being asked for that I never set, and getting the right version of opengapps flashed.

FYI - the only version of Odin I could find for Linux is a glitchy Java version. All the tutorials say to put things in the 'AP Slot' - and I can clearly see that in screenshots. But my version didn't have an AP slot. The graphics were misaligned and I finally gave up. I did manage to flash a ROM using ADB sideload. So there's that.

Yeah, Odin can be more than a little bit "glitchy" on Linux boxes. Surprised you found one that worked at all, to be totally candid. I suggest to folks that they just beg, borrow, or steal 15 minutes on a Windows box and do it the easy way. Yes, I know "windows" is a very long "four letter word" in many circles, but sometimes you just bite the bullet and take the path of least resistance. The IMPORTANT question is: is your problem solved ??

Good question. Do I have LineageOS on my device? Yes.
Is it a usable version? Uh, no. My device is now reporting to be a Galaxy J7 and the WiFi is useless. This was from an Enigma ROM. So at least I have managed to figure out how to flash the device and TWRP recovery is working. Now to find a better ROM.
I guess the question I have now is this: *IS THERE* an actual, working Android 9 PIE ROM for the J2 Prime (Grand Prime+) model?

Hui. Quick search in XDA shows: there is probably no aosp based ROM for your device. So you flashed a ROM for a different device? You should learn a bit about model names and codenames. And be glad to not have bricked your phone.

Well, it's from here on XDA, and it was advertised as being ported for my model specifically. Just surprised to see the other model info in 'About' - I agree that Pie seems to be non-existent for this phone. What about Oreo? So far every single article I find on the 'net is just click-bait.

Sometimes it is better to stay on stock ROM. With twrp you can install magisk or xposed or nanodroid.
