Removing google safty features - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General

Hi... after being called an idiot about Safty Net issues, I decided to make a thread on disabling Google's background processes that effect rooting and future development.
I first started out detecting how much Google was playing with our devices since play store isses developed in early 2016. With every update of the play services and play store, along with framework. More and more background services were added and used to monitor how your device is configured and as of recent, being rooted or modified.
First I noticed how google forced performing security checks on apps during install, when before it was optional in security. Not only it was intrusive, it ate bandwidth.
So to cover some issues that I was having with my modified custom firmware, I set out to find and disable components that effect how my rooted and modified firware operates.
At this time, I am able to get 1hr for every 8% of battery consumed while doing activities. With no FCs and apps failing to install or update.
Google's forced security checks on apps and automatic system updates are disabled. 760 mb used average in memory. None of which use greenify or any battery saver/monitoring system, and above all no tasker or 3rd party tw replacement.
Here are my screen captures...

You need to edit your post so your images aren't 1x1 pixels.
It seems your urls that you tried to copy/paste wound up mangled and thus threw out 404 errors.

Thread closed - nothing coherent here, it seems.

Trying to enable FULL Multiple User Support on G2 (not to be confused with GuestMode)

Hello everyone, I bring you this topic knowing that our G2s have some sort of crippled multi-user functionality.
But I was used to use the full multi-user support on my Galaxy Note since 4.2.2 (or any other Android with 4.2.2) which differs from LGs by a mile.
LGs implementation is limited to show only the apps you allow without means of changing wallpaper, pulling down the notification shade, etc. Android 4.2.2 can handle more than what LG gave us, like having a totally new and independent full session, including Sync accounts and apps which I found very convenient.
However when I tried the procedure described here it errors out for some reason with a "couldn't create user" error.
But when you get into the System Settings you get to see the new option "Users and Restrictions"

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you go there you'll see:
If you click Add User:
If you click OK:
Obviously that's because of the error I got inside Terminal. I also disabled LG's Guest Mode in case it had something to do with it but it was a no go.
I'll try some other methods and keep you posted. Any ideas are welcome.
Cheers!
this is neat, @Rayan are you already has the fix?
Nope, unfortunately I have not found a solution yet.
I have tried all methods available but no solution yet.

Problem With Lenovo A6000 - Inbuilt Malware

I have a Lenovo A6000 Plus, there are some strange softwares that 360 antivirus app detect as Malware and indeed are malware. Because the phone has two Android System app one with proper Android system logo and another with generic android app logo.
These app open automatically and are shown in the recent app, even after closing it everytime they populate the recent apps again and again.
I have factory reset the phone multiple times. Still have that problem.
Here is a screenshot:

Did factory reset but didn't work.
360 cannot do anything about that in non-rooted phone
I disabled all those apps but still they get populated in recent app.
I have used Eset smart security & found no issues..May be viruses detected are all false positives...Try again with another Security App

Let's assume that they are false positive. I have used a lot of Android phones and have never seen 3 Android System apps in one phone. Of you will force stop the real Android System app your Android system will crash, while stopping the other two doesn't do that. Monkey Test and Time Service are some well known Android virus.
Also, while these program run, my internet speed drops substantially, and a lot of data gets consumed, this is the main reason I had to install security app.

Always some RAM left

When I open many apps, let's say 20, phone doesn't keep them and frees some RAM even though apps are open in background (in recent apps list). So, for example, if I open many apps and first of them was Facebook and then I wanted to open it from recent list, it would reload even though there's some RAM left. It's always around 800MB-1GB remaining and never used.
It's a phones common procedure, to minimize the battery drain.
If the app (Facebook, Twitter e.t.c) isn't used for 20ish seconds, it'll close automatically, to stop the battery drain.
This procedure can be stopped, by rooting your phone, and using specific apps, for example "speed-up swap" it's available in Google play
Actually you don't need root to prevent apps from closing you have to add them to white list in phone manager -> battery -> protected apps.

You can also lock them in memory by swyping from top to bottom on specific app in recents menu.

Yes, main apps are in protective apps list but no matter what ram is never filled. What's the use of 2GB of ram if only one is used? I want it to fill completely before closing apps

Improve Battery After Nougat Update

i have seen many comments in different threads about having poor battery life... i myself have faced this issue.. with my battery dropping like 5-7% while it's ideal to.. so many people suggested to full wipe my device but along with it i used a software BK DISABLER(SAMSUNG)...
i disabled all the apps along with samsung account(i checked shealth was still working after this but then i removed it seeing the number of services it had)
given in this link..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/safe-to-debloat-s6-threads-t3090383
please check the second cmnt by @lizaSB..it's more detailed and apps are easy to find.. whenever you disable a bloatware be sure to check you have disabled the services given in it(using BK DISABLER.. obviously)
I don't know whether a seperate thread has been created for this or not... but after nougat update this really helped.. my batter falls like 0.6 or 0.7 % perhour when it's ideal...
I know many scripts are availabel for doing this but that requires root.. this app doesn't requires root privilege .
I feel battery for the S6/N5 family improved with Nougat, while the S7 line battery was negatively impacted. Moving to a spare S6 I had, as I had to send my S8 in to replace my screen, I'm getting quite decent numbers for a 2-year old phone that was used for most of that time by my mom (she changed phones recently).

[Moto G4 Plus XT1641] Third-party apps doesn't show on data usage or battery settings

First: Sorry for my English, if I sound rude is not my intention.
I bought last week a Moto G4 Plus (just because a promo), and I always been in custom rom side, so I unlocked the bootloader and flashed Lineage. But the surprise is it doesn't show up other apps in data usage or battery settings, and I really need it.
I've tested Lineage, Invicta and Halogen (7.1.2), and Lineage (8.0). Only Oreo shows the other apps in settings, but I cannot fully restrict the data usage (I have a limited data plan) and video playback is buggy. So I gave up in custom rom side and flashed again a stock one (september patch), but the error persists.
Every app besides Google Services and Store is shown as "Android OS". Facebook, Whatsapp, Chrome. Everything is under Android OS. I've tried to put my favorite apps in /system/app, but this doesn't work either.
Any suggestions? Do I missed something? Thanks in advance.

@Valdamjong that's a known issue, but AFAIK in LineageOS source and not it stock rom. AndroidOS covers the data usage of some(not all) apps. Use glasswire to monitor apps and firewall(AFWall+) to restrict them from using data if needed.

I see, I posted this just because I haven't see something like this in all the phones I've flashed.
Thanks mate, it seems this is solved.
