This subject is widely all over the web. I have read until I am blue in the face. I am trying to find someone, with the same question I have, so I can use that answer for my problems. But, alas, I have to have problems no one else has, or the problem is so easy to understand, and fix that I am the only one, who does not know the solution.
I have no questions about the rooting process. I have not been lucky enough to have gotten that far. My problem is with downloading files, needed later I am assuming to be back on the fire, When I try to down load the drivers and what not from xda developers, I am unable to do so. When the download process is finished, chrome will not let it load, and dismiss is the only option I have. It states that download is laden with viruses. I have tried to load 6 of the versions that are listed, with same results.
I figue if I cannot get past this little step I probably should not attemp to root.
Your help will be greatly appreaciated. Why do these root help sites, not list the exact way, to get to the downlaod needed off of xda, everyone just alludes to the area it will be but nothing specific. Is there patent issues here or what?
The only thing you need is the kindle fire utility found in this link here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192818
Then just follow all the steps and you'll be good to go.

Do you have an anti virus program installed? If so it may be giving a false positive on the files you are trying to download and preventing them from being downloaded. You can try disabling the AV program and then see if you can download a file.

I was able to load in the links needed to root, but kindle would not connect to computer,
Power port loose and connection was not possible.. I had been able to connect to re-charge, but no luck with connecting to computer. Trashed the kindle, New kindle I do not want to risk rooting.
OK, cool.

Has anyone run across issues with the MobileIron SecureApps module not being found after previously working just fine on the most recent OxygenOS Beta 13?
Yes, Mine is constantly losing configs, saying its not registered but works again when a force check in is done.
You know how your work has the config set up? I just finished deploying for our work environment using android enterprise and it is working flawlessly with exception of a few add-on launchers. I run several different ROMs and it works on all of them.

I am not sure. Now that I am on OOS Beta 19 it only seems to happen much less frequently. I have found you can just go to the Secure Apps app, it will prompt you for your password, and that this is enough to get the other apps (Mail, Calendar, etc) to see the Secure Apps and allow login. My Help desk raised a ticket with MobileIron, who acknowledge that they are aware of the issue. Now that I know I can get access restored by logging into Secure Apps module, it is not a headache anymore.
Why do you use such piece of software on rooted devices?

I am not rooted. That is what the Secure App module checks.

So, mobile iron fixed this issue, I was reading through their android corner the other day. Should've posted the content here for you. When I get back to work tomorrow on Monday, I'll try and remember to post the fix.
It's pretty simple, just have to enable secureapps at startup, but can't remember where to do this.

From the Mobile Iron Support site:
Work Around
Enable Secure App Manager in App Auto-Launch.
On the One Plus device go to Settings > Apps
Click on Settings
Settings > Apps
Scroll down and click on App auto-launch
App auto-launch
Enable Secure App Manager
Enable Secure App Manager
Since I'm running AOSP, I'm not really running into any issues. I'm also using my device as a BYOD, but hopefully this helps.
I'm trying to install the [email protected] app on my device OnePlus 3 which is running on Oxygen OS 5 (Android 8.0.0), I'm getting similar error message. With Oxygen OS 5 there is no option to Enable Secure App Manager or modify App Auto Launch settings. What is the work around? Please help.

I checked the mobile iron forums and have not seen a work around for Oreo. Strange however, I have it installed and everything is running fine. Are you using the device in a BYOD environment or in a corporate owned state?
A lot of [email protected] has to do with the way it is set up (phone to server), so without knowing all of this information, I can't necessarily recommend any fixes.
Can you throw up some app settings and screen shots by chance? Please blur out any information before hand that is no one else should know.

I'm one of those people who hate the newer web wrapper based YouTube app and have been using the last native app they released. Nvidia was nice enough to bundle the native app in /system in their Nougat updates so that people like me could easily stay on that version. This has apparently changed in the Oreo update though.
Has anyone tried downgrading the app using either of the methods commands below?
Code:
adb install -r -d youtube.apk
Or
Code:
adb push youtube.apk /sdcard/
adb shell pm install -r -d /sdcard/youtube.apk
Download the APK here:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...ube-for-android-tv-android-tv-1-3-11-release/
I would try it myself but I don't want to be stuck with the new crappy app if the above fails.
It seems it doesn't work for system apps, at least on Oreo.
Any other ideas?
Moved /system/app/YouTubeLeanback to /sdcard/, rebooted, and was able to install it. Thanks.

I presume your Shield is rooted? Otherwise I don't see how that would work.
If it isn't, I'd be very interested in some more details though.

How to blocking ads on YouTube on Shield ?

Youtube Premium...$11.99/month. I pay for family ($14.99/month for 6 google accounts).
Worth the price, at least for me and my family. Shared with my in-laws, brother and his wife (that $2.5/month/person). No ad at any time, Youtube Music (or Play Music) included.
Considering the amount of time we spend on YouTube I never looked back, especially since my kids are little and I do not want them exposed to stupid ads every 5 minutes.
Not the answer you were looking for!
Thank you, it's not bad idea.
Did you hear about YouTube Vance ?
It's possible to install this application on Shield ?
https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartYouTubeTV
Work great here on the Shield.
..
I'm not sure which OS is on our Shield (kids Xmas present tomorrow). I did have it hooked up briefly to set it up so it's ready out of the box. I didn't like the YouTube version installed because it defaulted to the system Google account. Can't be changed and no multiple accounts. So I installed smarttubeTV. Kids are used to it as that's what we use on fire TV. It allows multiple accounts so the kids can have their own with easy switching.

Curious if anyone uses Mac along with their android and what tools you use to manage it. I don’t own a window pc
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I do. Havent tried DeX yet but I've some reviews that say you can use Dwx on the mac. May need to download an app. I have only used it with smart switch for transferring data with no issues.
DeX works great on mac I use it all the time and no issues

I tried "several ways" in the past. Nothing suits better than Boot Camp -> Windows.
- Eats up battery a lot, the T2 chip(late December 2017 and newer models) is not exposed to Windows for security reasons and remains as "unknown device" in Device Manager, but no other issues at all.
I use DEX in the Mac environment and it works great. It's the same as it was as a standalone on my prior devices.

Hey guys has anyone used "ADB AppControl" to debloat app/programs on the Fold 4 yet or even tried this link with the lists they name to debloat?
https://www.getdroidtips.com/uninstall-bloatware-samsung-z-flip-4-z-fold-4/#Samsung-Galaxy-Z-Flip-4-Galaxy-Z-Fold-4-Device-Overview
I've used ADB Control App, no issues.
I'm using Package Disabler, used to be in the app store but now it's cloud based. Used it on my Note 10, Note 20 and have just started to debloat the Fold 4 with no issues. Just have to be careful what you select as it may have something to do with something you use. Fairly inexpensive and works. Also don't need a PC so you can disable on the fly.

Hi, this website isn't opening. Is there a place from where i can download this app? Thanks!
I'd recommend ADBAppControl. It's free for all your devices, no need to purchase again every time you buy a new device.

I don't believe there is. I always have to use my PC and transfer to the phone. Just tried again on my PC and the site might be down for maintenance, there's a separate DL site and it's not responding either. I'll email them and see if I get a reply.

Thank you, I used the this app on my windows 10 machine and was able to delete using that app.
I use Icebox, disabled (not uninstalled though) around 100 apps, works a treat!
Been using ADB App Control for my least 3 Samsung phones, Fold 4, Flip 3 and S10+ to freeze apps. Never had any issues, and the extended (paid) version is worth the money, better than some app on the Google Play that needs to rebuy after a major
software version update.

The site is back live again. The only problem with the other app touted here, ADP App Control is that you can't disable on the fly..................you need a PC to make it work.

I highly recommend ADB AppControl, or any other PC method of disabling bloatware on your phone.
Reason being, if you happen to disable something critical for the phone to operate like normal, like what I did...., then you still have a chance to revert your changes, and avoid having to reset your phone. If I had made the same mistake using an app on my phone to disable bloat, I would have been forced to factory reset!

I respectfully disagree, with the app you can re-enable immediately and not have to wait until you get home to your PC. I have disabled a system I shouldn't and was able to fix it on the fly without a PC or a factory data reset. I have no issues with adb app control but I don't want to have to rely on a PC when I'm away from home. I am proficient in using adb and even that can be reversed without FDR!
