[Q] Apps reinstall upon reboot (EchoeROM) - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running EchoeROM and there are a few apps which reinstall upon reboot. One of them is called CPU Spy Plus and another is called FasterGPS and they are uninstallable through settings. Does anybody have any idea why they'd keep reappearing and how this can be resolved? Cheers lads x

It's probably because they are part of echoe settings so unless you remove echoe settings from your secsettings they will reapper.
I'd either disable them that way they will not show up in your app drawer or swap the secsettings for stock if you really want rid of them

Cheers mate, I've actually managed to just resolve the problem by going into /data/app and deleting their respective folders.

[Q] How do you disable the startup sound?

I've renamed every instance of poweron.ogg I could find, and I still get the book sound. Can you disable the sound by itself or do you need to swap out the entire boot animation?
if nothing works install xposed frameworks and use wanam module... it has that option and others

Should have mentioned I already tried that. Running the rooted stock ROM. Wanam works for some settings but not that one.

Cool, I had renamed them all and still got the sound, but then deleting all the poweron.oggs I could find did the trick. So what are the poweron.orggs in /spr or /vas etc?
The startup sound can be removed if you set the system volume to minimum.
Just fyi, on the Sprint version deleting the poweron.ogg in /system/media/audio/ui/xas does the trick.
Yahhhh Kennedy808.. We have a winner!!! Thank you that did the trick for my sprint note 3!
I apologize for re-opening this old old thread. The new path for the Sprint Note 3 on 4.4.4 NH7 is /system/media/audio/ui/SPR. Wanam doesnt work as its looking in the incorrect dir.

Healthservice stopped working

Hey guys on G900I stock rooted rom untill slimbeam or paranoid comes out, I had disabled s health and other bloat around about the time the "health service has stopped working" but also did some tweaks so i'm not sure what one caused the problem, but i've completely removed s health and i cant see anywhere in system apps/services "health service" just want it gone so the error doesn't come up. I get it about 4-5 times a day. Any help would be appreciated
Did you installed xposed framework? If yes.. That's the reason.

I am having the same problem even after I unistalled xposed framework. Please advise.
To revert, you need to clear the system cache and the Shealth app cache and data.
Lots of threads on how to solve that, you can find lots of elaboration in existing threads if you search.
In short you can have Shealth and Xposed working if you disable secure storage - which breaks private mode, et cetera.
Or you can revert. Basically: Shealth, Xposed, Private mode. Pick any two.

Battery option in system setting is gone!!?!

I need help figuring out where my battery option went. Strange thing..suddenly the option was gone ? No special apps installed, I have no root..running out of the box stock Touchwiz.
I've rebooted the phone..done cache wipe in stock recovery. Have not yet factory reset the phone, though it will be my next step, if you guys don't have any ideas...
Never seen this before ?
Battery option was embedded in Smart Manager. I guess something wrong with it
Thanks ☺ found it out..it's back ?

i did and its clear for me that this is the problem, but that happend out of the box. so i thought mybe there is a way like wiping or flashing anything that will solve the problem.
i now have smartmanager removed with TB, but i thought maybe there is a way to get it working without using all the bloatware from sammy
Installed smartmanager back. And can open it no problem but now even battery options in settings will fc.
With sm deinstalled I could at least open battery tab in settings

How to remove Samsung Bloatware?

Hello all!
I have a Galaxy Note 4 910C(exynos), rooted and using DN5, and I always see people talking about bloatware that comes pre installed and are useless.
I'm wondering what are acutally those and how do I remove them?
Thx in advance!
since you'r rooted, use titanium backup. You can try the app called Greenify or simply disable those apps your app manager.

For a rooted device, KNOX related apps are bloatwares since rooted KNOX disabled & can't be used on a rooted device.
The other bloatware is user preference.
Which app that you don't use is a bloatware

That's exactly what I mean, any apps that you don't need.
You can even remove phone (if you never use your Note 4 for a phone call ) & Touchwiz.
Rule of thumb, if you never heard of it & it's not inside the App Drawer, don't delete it
NOTE: TouchWiz is not in the app drawer
I do it in a simpler way. First I clear the data from settings and then using root explorer I go to system/app folder and I directly delete preinstalled apps that I never use for example- samsung push service, mobile print, chat on, hangouts, google books, yahoo weather, etc. Theres another folder called system/priv-app
WARNING: Don't delete apps you have absolutely no idea about. It can cause your phone's OS to malfunction.

This. I don't have a note 4 (yet). but I learned it the hard way on my nexus 4. thank god for TWRP and its file manager.
Usually what i do is backup the app before i uninstall it to see if i notice any system instability caused by uninstalling it.

I too don't have a note 4 right now. But will be buying soon this christmas. I learnt most of these things by customizing my galaxy grand 2.
I am working on debloating apps. Basically I am making a list for my self which apps are safe to disable. Have you guys made any list?

Enabling Call Recording and App Lock

Hey xda People,
can someone teach me how to enable native call recording on the s7 edge please? I rooted my s7 edge few hours ago and I'm done setting it up how I want minus the call recording... can someone help? also can maybe someone help getting App Lock to work? anyone out there knows how it's done?
cheers
I don't know if anybody else has this but after i have finished a phone call, all my conversations are in the Voice Recorder app on my phone inside the recordings tab. Very clear sound on both sides of the conversation. Try that.
Since you have root, get Xposed Framework, then get xTouchWiz Module, its in the settings. I have call recording through this.
Get Xposed here, then flash it AND ALSO get the APK for the Xposed app there,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960
Then get the xTouchWiz module inside Xposed framework, the phone recording can also be configured to on/off toggle or auto record every call.
Both Mods in CSC/Others.xml

Use what I've suggested. This is a small mod which doesn't have to go through Xposed.
I prefer system inbuilt mods rather than depending on an app or xposed.
Mental pleasure of making the rom lightweight.

Thanks for quick reply , but my question was more about exposed itself. I couldnt find any one else with same sort of problem until i read this

YAAAAAAAAS!!! This is exactly what I was looking for! And I'm 100% on board with u on the Mental pleasure of making the rom lightweight.
I did what u told me. Added the lines in others.xml in the csc folder and and created a AppLock folder in System/Priv-App/ and copied the AppLock.apk in there and set the right permissions.
After reboot nothing.
read thread and installed busybox via playstore and installed busybox from within app. Do I have to keep the busybox app after installing the "framework" or whatever busybox is?
After reboot nothing.
looked at the "code" says something about SmartManager in the beginning. Does this depend on SmartManager? Because I deleted it whilst de-bloating....
trying to get SmartManager to work again right now. In the meantime can someone maybe point out something I could have missed or done wrong please?

What is app lock?

It's a Samsung native app which allows to lock apps individually. For example you can lock Gallery using this app with fingerprint, pin, password and have to enter one of those to get access to the app. Very good security measurement.

For those who can't find Applock - Go to Smart Manager and Swipe once to Left. It's on the Second Dashboard Bottom Row named as App Behavior.

I've just followed steps here to and I can't get it to show up.
Strange. I'm running Australia latest firmware debadged
Hey everyone I got it to work! But the instructions from the first page are wrong that's the reason why it's not working for u guys. Right now I'm very busy but I post a guide and maybe video guide on how to do it right. Please be patient.
