HTC Wildifire S
Pattern lock attempts are over.
Asking for google account.
I know my correct username/pass.
But my wifi and data services are off.
As i read you do not need internet for this. but still when i enter correct details it just comes back to sign in screen.
USB Debugging is off , so can i use file manager in recover mode to delete gesture.key.
To install filemanager in recovery mode i need CWM ? how do i install when usb debug is off.
How do i get the pattern lock bypassed ?
These I do not answer, because there is a possibility of the phone not being yours, sorry.
Last night i changed screen lock password and now i am stuck as i forgot the password.
I have tried following solutions that i found on google.
1. Android lock screen can be bypassed by overloading with massive password ( Failed as my android is patched, not able to copy from dial screen ).
2. ADB can not be used as developer mode is disabled.
3. Google Android device manager has failed to ring or change the screen lock password as internet is off and there is no way to turn on WI-Fi or Data on lollipop when screen is locked.
Do i have any option other than Wipe Data/ Factory Reset. :fingers-crossed:
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.
I use official Chinese rom on Redmi Note 5 (pro, 3/32GB) with Nova launcher. Unfortunately when I try to open an app that I've installed via Google Play or .apk file I get a permission request "Allow Nova Launcher to open ... ?".
Is there a simple way (except for flashing a new rom) to remove this? It happens once a reboot - if I say OK then I can use this particular app without further messages, but when I reboot the phone the issue comes back. So far gave Nova all permissions possible but no luck.
As any other apps also have the same annoying message
Each boot, Eaxh apps will have"allow *** to open" sorta message pop-up. Tried googling but found nothing. My phone China ROM too.
Anyone knows how to disable the security thingy?
Security app >manage apps>permission>Auto start
Enable Auto start for all apps
Et voila !
(It's not that Nova doesn't have permission to open these apps . These apps aren't allowed to be started by other apps , that's the problem)
How i get this problem:
It started when i can't open my phone because Gboard keeps stopping after i update it! I can't even use my fingerprints. I remember that i can remove the lock via Recovery, so i delete locksetting.db and reboot system. The lock is gone and i can open my phone but the launcher won't shows up, it said "Phone is starting". Help fix this please! Thanks
