Usable secure folder patch for DTC5? - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

As title, after upgrading to DTC5, all of the previous fix no longer works.
For those one figured out how to fix secure folder in DTC5, would you please share?
Or is there anyway to enable work profile on rooted stock Rom?
Currently struggling to find a working method to have apps like secure folder, island, or shelter working.
Have tried multiuser, but has to switch whenever needs to launch the copy of my apps, which sucks.
Thanks

Uninstall ClearVue from Brightpoint?

I have the new 1.33 Brightpoint ROM installed. I was wondering if there was any way to remove the ClearVue Office programs from my phone? I was just going to use the Windows Mobile Office cab that I found on this forum.
FSame here for the latest HTC rom.
Possible Solution
I found the files but don't have access to delete them.
Shorcuts located in \Windows are named : "ClearVue <and 1 of the 3 apps>".
If you check the properties you'll notice that the executable for these are located in \Windows\WTCVDocV.exe (that's the DOC one for example).
Then after doing this (you should make sure just in case), you can delete the files. Mine were:
wtcvdocv.exe
wtcvpres.exe
wtcvwsv.exe
You probably have to remove the folder that's in the start menu also.
Anyone know how to get around the permissions issue?
As these files are would be located in ROM there is not much you can do. ROM uses a different storage format from conventional files that is set up when the ROM is built, so deleting them isn't really an option - maybe there is some way to hide them though.. Probably the best thing to do is to forget about them
Now that I found this again, maybe this clears the question up a bit:

Thanks for the info!
I appreciate the info!
There has to be a way to get around this - Registry hack or some other kind of work-around. If anyone knows - Please be kind enough to share the knowledge

[Solved] Any way to access an apk file immediately after flashing?

I'm not sure if this is possible as ICS has no built in file manager, but is there anywhere I can put an apk file that it would be accessible without one? Specifically I want to be able to open an apk to install a file manager as the first thing I do after flashing a rom, to avoid needing to go through the market.
I thought maybe I could leave it in sdcard/download but it seems like the downloads program is blind to anything in that folder that wasn't officially "downloaded". (I suppose I could upload one to my dropbox and download it via the browser, if there are no viable options). Also made a few stabs at getting the gallery program to show one but it seems to filter out anything that's not a picture or video.
Any ideas for places to stick an apk and get one of the stock programs to let me open it?
maybe email it to yourself?
but you would have to log into the email app to do that
but there isnt really anyway to access the file without a file explorer
Open your favourite rom zip, add your apk to /system/app, save the zip, push that zip to the phone, flash.

Yeah in general I'm trying to cut out the step of signing into anything and just restoring my apps from a backup before I need to cancel automatic restore functions (which I do want on and running once I do my own initial run of things).

I'm guessing this comes with the consequence of raising any apk added in this manner to system app level? Not that I distrust the apps I'd have in mind for this to do anything malicious themselves, but is there any danger of opening security holes by elevating apps not designed to be system apps?
What I've done many times is just enabling Air Plane as soon as I can after flashing a ROM. That's way I can install any apk I want.
Hope it helps.

Hmm but then what is your method for getting to that apk? If you do it over wifi that seems to defeat the point, no?
Personally I've found that it works just fine to uncheck the boxes for recovery syncing during the setup process, and then just re-enabling them later in settings. (Alternately, not signing into my google account at all until I've performed a backup). That way even if I end up signing into the market to download a recovery app, it doesn't automatically try to re-download everything else on its own.
I'm starting to think that my dropbox solution will be the cleanest, as it'll be a simple step of opening the browser and downloading a single apk every time at the same link.
I bet that the inclusion of a basic file explorer will be one of those headline items in a future android release. A nice basic functionality that the bloggers can rehash to death before anything actually hits.
Download the file manager apk over wifi and install the APK via download manager.
I do it all the time with Chinese android tablets with no market access.
Or Bluetooth it from another device.
Or just use the market

Transfer by USB from my laptop.
Is there a way to do that in which the device will launch the apk you move over? When I copy files over usb, it only ever puts them into whatever directory, and I need a file explorer to interact with them on the phone. And then I'm back to square one, as far as this particular task is concerned (once things are up and running I just use the LAN option in ES file explorer and it's as convenient as could be).
you have the apk in your computer right?
connect the phone to pc, and use adb to install
'adb install <apk_file_name.apk>'
Ah. I haven't used adb since I first unlocked/rooted a few months ago. Guess it probably pays to be a little familiar with those tools; they don't even occur to me when problem solving these days.

mark thread as solved then, if that solved it
Well a completely in-phone solution would still be nice, but I guess if there were any of those they'd have come up by now.
I'll probably use abd if I'm actively working at my computer and a dropbox download otherwise.

Deleting C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution on Elite x3

I'm getting some Windows Update errors (0x80244019 and 0x8007139f) which I'm 99% certain are caused by an incomplete download of the update.
Updating from Creators Update (RS2) to Fall Creators Update (RS3). I need it for some UWP API features. Prefer not to reset the device if I don't have to.
I just need to be able to clear the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder where the new build is downloaded to (unless it's different on mobile?). Is there any way to get access to this folder and delete/rename it? As far as I can tell, this would allow the update to download for real and install.
IIRC there used to be a way to browse system files in the built-in file explorer, using a shortcut, but that doesn't seem to work.
Interop Tools from the store lets me browse system files on PC and Xbox, but not on the x3. I can only access registry.
I couldn't find any guide that both applied to the x3 (all seem to be for Lumia and sometimes Samsung), and that I understood to follow. I think I need to enable mass storage mode, or get a different file manager installed?
@Kyle_N
Try his guide for accessing the files/file system in question on the X3. Should still work fine.
You need to focus on the section labeled ENABLE SYSTEM REGISTRY ACCESS INSTRUCTIONS-->For all other OEM devices.
This gives you the ability to unlock capabilities and full file system access.

android.process.media keeps stopping - so annoying

Dear all,
I have been using RMN5 for a while and this is the most f**cking annoying error in this phone (or MIUI's error - i got it in my LG F180L running MIUI7 a long time ago and it happened too)
Every time i connected the phone to PC, i got this problem, I've followed the tips on XDA about disable media storage and download (force stop only in RMN5) and reboot, ok it fixed for a while, but not for long, next time i connect, it happen AGAIN.
I'm so tired of this sh*t and want to get rid of it.
Please, somebody please show me the way.
Thank you
Don't disable those apps instead go to the app settings media storage and download and clear both cache and data, hopes this will solve the problem and move this post to question and answer thread. It belongs there.
you disabled critical system app and complained why you get error messages
This is the Android Media Scanner, looking for files to index on your storage.
Some options are:
Try creating a file called '.nomedia' in every folder, and the problem should dissapear. In that case you may have a corrupted file somewhere, so try to delete the .nomedia file in some of the suspected folders to see if the problem comes back (or google something like 'android.process.media .nomedia' for a better explanation or solution.
You can also enable debuggind (via developer options), to inspect the problem with adb logcat, or to install a logcat related app from Play Store, in case the dump that should appear at the time of the error contains some hint.

I'm having this issue after updating my Samsung GT-N8013 to lineageos 16.0. When you say to put a .nomedia file in every folder, do you litterally mean every single folder on both the tablet and sd card or a certain level of folder?

The .nomedia flag file will stop the scan in the directory it's placed and all of the directories contained in it.
I ended up reinstalling the the OS 16.0 rom for my Samsung N8013. It took a total of running the installation 3 times but it finally became stable.

Question Any way to recover call recordings after update to Oxygen OS 12? (UPDATE: Solved!)

So, like the title says, I can't seem to access my call recording folder after updating to Android 12 last night. It appears to have removed my Oneplus dialer (installed as an apk and recording enabled through joneplus tools). The filepath itself (/storage/emulated/0/android/data/com.oneplus.communication.data/files/record/) doesn't show up in Solid Explorer, but I did have a shortcut created and when I select it I get Access Denied (attached screenshot).
I can't tell if the files are still there and just not accessible, or if they were deleted (surely not since its on the emulated SD card).
I've tried to reinstall the OP Dialer APK (several, actually), and they all say it won't install because it is not compatible with the phone. For reference, I am unrooted and unmodified, LE2125 model. I'm not new to rooting and modding, but this is my first OP phone. I've tried to keep it stock for work purposes and trying to avoid a bunch of Magisk effort to keep my work email on the phone and working.
Am I just out of luck? Is there any way to retrieve the recordings that were present before the upgrade? I assume the file directory is still there, but 'erased' from the update and will require installation of the OP dialer to show up again. But, i can't find a OP dialer APK that will install successfully on OS 12.
Any help or advice in retrieving the files would be greatly appreciated!
Mark
UPDATE:
Persistence pays off. I kept trying to find an updated OP dialer that would work on OS 12. I finally got one to install (from Techibee/Telegram) but it did not recreate the 'com.oneplus.communication.data' directory. I deleted and reinstalled Joneplus Tools, which took some work to grant the write permissions again, and it also did not recreate the directory even after enabling call recording (strangely, it seems to have enabled recording in the Google dialer instead - I'll make a separate post about that because I still need call recording). But, on a whim, I went back into Solid Explorer and recent files... LO AND BEHOLD THE CALL RECORDINGS WERE SHOWN!! So, I long-pressed a file and selected "open directory" and discovered that the OTA update to OS 12 created a \Recordings\Call Recordings\ sub-folder in my Music directory and copied all of my phone call recordings there... very strange, but I'm glad they are not gone and I can access them again to back them up before something else happens. I appreciate the response below from @Effizio01 but the issue is now resolved. As noted above, I will make a separate post about Google Dialer recording as a test call said it recorded but I cannot locate the file. Thanks for all the views and "moral support".
