Fire 7 2019 app disable including lockscreen ads - Fire General

I used icebox https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.catchingnow.icebox&hl=en_US
"Active with simple ADB mode"
froze apps-

After installing i was getting a pop-ups about adb not connected from Icebox, i uninstalled icebox as this point. Opened package disabler ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pdp.deviceowner ) to verify they are still disabled . They are disabled still, rebooted multiple times. There may be an easier way, but all i tried from adb didn't work. I hope this helps...

Can you disable via ADB
1. Go to Settings -> Device Options -> About Fire tablet -> Serial Number and tap the several number until the Developer Options is unlocked and press back button
2. After the Developer Options appears under About Fire tablet menu, Go to Developer Options -> USB Debugging and enable it
3. Plug your Fire tablet to your PC, open Command Prompt and approve the USB device
4. Verify the attached devices
Code:
adb devices
5. Let's disable this app including bloatware
Code:
adb shell pm disable --user 0 com.amazon.venezia
adb shell pm disable --user 0 com.amazon.kindle.kso

To activate the device owner from PDP
Code:
adb shell dpm set-device-owner com.pdp.deviceowner/.receivers.AdminReceiver

If your rooted you can easily disable apps, i used this method before rooting. I use package disabler app to easily disable/enable apps with root.

[Q] [P3000S] debugger wouldn't attach

Hi,
I develop application on eclipse IDE.
When i try to debug it in the phone, I get a problem with the debugger who can't to attach.
I had tried on others devices with no problems.
The application is just one empty project.
My device :
Elephone P3000S
Android 4.4.2
Build P3000S_20150120
Try to Disable and Enable again the "USB Debugging" mode from the Settings of the phone.
Also as mentioned here, some devices need the permission
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SET_DEBUG_APP" /> (inside AndroidManifest.xml)
If this does not help, try restarting your phone.
If still having problem, press the pause button in the Eclipse Debugger, and play again to continue.
Done, no change
Remove your USB and close the Eclipse.
Open "Task Manager" (on Windows) and kill (terminate) the adb.exe.
On your phone check USB Debugging is on
and Open the Eclipse.
After eclipse has opened,
plug-in again your phone. Wait for a confirmation dialog to appear on your phone and accept it.
If confirmation dialog has not appeared and accepted it, you may not be able to connect.
Also type on a cmd.exe Terminal
adb devices
Is it saying that your device is UNAUTHORIZED?
Is your logcat displaying any errors during the debugging attachment process?
I done all you say.
I dont get this :
Wait for a confirmation dialog to appear on your phone and accept it.
The automatically switch to USB debugging enabled and connected as USB Storage.

This may be your problem.
Are you in Windows? If yes, to be sure, open the command prompt (cmd.exe) and while your phone is connected type:
adb devices
If it says UNAUTHORIZED near your device then this may be the problem.
In your "More" Settings is your USB Internet option ON? If yes, turn it off, it may interfere.
I don't know what else the problem may be. The normal should be for a dialog to appear to confirm. So now you may be UNAUTHORIZED
---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------
Also Try changing the USB mode to MTP (not Storage) !!!
Thank you for your interest.
The adb commande show :
List of devices attached
emulator-5554 device
0123456789ABCDEFG device
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I forget, I'm on Wondows Seven and I have tried to use the MTP mode without succes.
Your device seems to recognized. So no problem with that.
I see you have also an emulator opened. Try closing it before running on device. Perhaps it interferes.
I can't think anything else that is causing problem, as you mentioned, it runs ok on other devices, so I don't think that it is Eclipse's issue
>> Try closing ... I had tried without, no chance.
I agree, It isn't an eclipse problems
One last try
Go to your phone's settings -> Developer options -> find something that says Select Debug App (or something like that) and make sure it is selected "None".
---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------
Try also adding android:debuggable="true" in your application tag on the manifest.
>> ... make sure it is selected "None".
It's the case
>> Try also adding android:debuggable="true" ...
I had tried it

No internet from hotspot since 8.1 update

Since the 8.1 update of my MI A1 i can't make a wifi hotspot for my other devices. The other devices can connect perfectly, but they don't have internet. I use a dual sim and i have the issue with both providers. When i use the sim in a other phone i can hotspot perfectly. I found some things to remove the APN Type or fill in <blank> but that does not work either.
I installed the August patch, but that did solved the issue as well.
Hmm, when i turn off 1 sim card i have a working hotspot. No the kind of workaround/solution i wanted but at least it is something.
Try add "default,supl,dun" on APN type
Add the same issue and found the solution somewhere on the net. It's working fine since then.
1 - Put your phone in debugging mode
Under Setting -> system -> about phone, tap repeatedly on Build Number, until the prompt asks if you want to enable developer mode
2 - Enable USB debugging on your phone
Under Setting -> system -> Developer options turn on USB Debugging
3 - plug your phone into USB, there may be a popup to allow remote debugging, allow this.
4 - Open a command window, and browse to the folder where you have adb.
5 - Type the following and press the [Enter] key
adb shell
This starts the Android shell (terminal where commands can be typed), which can work on your phone.
Once in the shell, type this:
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
Press return. To confirm it worked, type this and press return:
settings get global tether_dun_required
It should print out a zero.
Then type either quit or exit
Had the time to test this and this worked @datasource. Thanks for the answer.
Same problem after October update

Where is adb?
@sly21
adb android is a tool to edit android system. Follow this:
https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
Thank you @datasource your explanation helped me!
Not fixed in Android 9. Hardresetted my phone
no hotspot after resetting or manual dns
Hi!
Same happens to me since I bought a new sim card last week. Tried the DNS manual change to 8.8.8.8. and 8.8.4.4., re-set all wifi and data networks. Can't add ',dun' to APN type and haven't been able to access shell on adb window programme - any extra advice you could suggest?

Frustated with Google News Application

As the title says, I'm fed up with the Google News Application. But the thing is., It is installed as a system app and I don't want that- Disable is the only option that exists for me. I've been disabling it everyday. Even I've disabled Auto-Update for that but still it ENABLES by itself and even UPDATES BY ITSELF.
I've even seeked the help of customer care but they told me to visit SERVICE CENTRE and I even did the same. When I visited the service centre, they just Hard resetted my device and I told them that I've done it more than 6 times at home. They started arguing with me thereby accusing me with bad words...
My phone is still under warranty and I don't want to lose it by installing TWRP and rooting it...
Any kind SUGGESTIONS are HEARTLY WELCOME.
Use ADB.
Download ADB from Google to your PC. (Minimal ADB did not work for me, The one from developers.google.com is the one that works for me)
After ADB, Go to settings and about phone, Tap on build number 7 times. Now you will enable developer options.
Go to deverloper options and enable USB debugging. Now connect phone and open cmd from the folder where you installed adb(Just type cmd in the address bar of the folder). Now a black window will open on your PC.
Then type adb devices on your PC. Now there will be a prompt on your phone asking allow access to the PC.
Select yes and then go to your pc and type-
Code:
adb shell
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user0 com.google.android.apps.magazines
Then press enter.
Now Google News will be uninstalled.
(I tested this, And also used this various apps, They work fine. Your OTA will not break and the apps will not come back after an system update also)
Cheers

Okay. Thank you. But it gets only HIDDEN not completely uninstalled. As of I know, I can't uninstall permanently without root access.

Nokia's drivers are the only ones you need to install.
Yes, Using this ADB method will not uninstall this app from the system rather it disables the app for you. But this disabled app will not come back unless you want it too, Not even after OTA.

Honestly speaking, in New to using ADB... But knew sp flash tool and I had thought that both are similar but not.
Are Nokia drivers are same as Google drivers?
Can you share me the step by step procedure is you enough time now, sir?
I just downloaded latest usb driver from developer.android.com
Hey Guys let me tell you I do get automatic installation (via Google Play) for the Google News app (yes frustrating ) but what I did is uninstalled updates emptied it's data and forced stop / disabled it.
As of this comment I do get automatic installation request via Google Play but Google News doesn't updates. This worked for me.

Fire 10 9th Gen 7.3.1.1 questions

Just got my fire hd 10 9th Gen running 7.3.1.0. Made a bunch of permission changes and disabled a bunch of apps. parked it for dinner, system grabed and OTA to 7.3.1.1. Added several new apps and apparently removed a few options. Like enable adb and the ability to disable some apps (which I disabled under 7.3.1.0).
It appears there is no root yet for this ver/gen.
Any thoughts on getting adb access and/or disabling OTA's? (enable adb is missing from dev menu)
It says there are several more updates it will do "next time the device is not being used"
What do you mean by enable adb? Do you mean USB debugging? I haven't checked after update, but my tablet still does connect with USB debugging notification, so adb should still work.

several posts about disabing OTA discuss turning on adb access and reference
system->dev tools->enable adb
I suspect I'll still need root, but I know my phones now have adb access restricted, so it appears maybe the fires disable adb access by default.

Ok, got adb access, needed to manually install Amazon's fire usb drivers. took several passes to get it recognized.
Can you try to enable adaptive battery in settings to save the battery life.
Adaptive battery features is added in Android 9 Pie.
I am curious how you disabled apps if you didn't have ADB...
settings>device options>about fire tablet
touch the serial number on and off until developer options are enabled
Go Back
Settings>Device Options>Developer Otions
Turn on
USB debugging=on
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.kindle.otter.oobe.forced.ota
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota.override
I used the toolkit to install Google Services, disable everything but Camera and Photos, then blockada to stop the OTAs.
Could you please explain how you did this? I have same tablet and need to enable adb. Thanks

Lenovo Tab M8 -- HD and FHD How to debloat/remove Apps that you can't uninstall/disable -- Without ROOT

This guide is how I removed apps on my Lenovo M8 FHD, but applies to almost all Android devices.
(Root is NOT needed)
Things needed:
ADB shell and a Windows computer, an android Apk Analyzer app (I use "Apk Analyzer" from the Play Store).
Enable Developer options & USB Debugging:
Lenovo M8 FHD -- > Settings -> System -> About Tablet -> Tap on "Build number" multiple times. #A pop up should state you are now a developer.
Settings -> System -> Developer options
Scroll down and enable "USB Debugging"
Connect tablet/device to Windows PC with ADB/Fastboot installed (plenty of guides on XDA available here.)
Open an Administrator Command Prompt. (Right click on CMD and select Run as Administrator).
Type the following:
adb devices
A pop up on your device should ask if you want to allow it USB Debugging access, check always allow and select yes.
adb shell
You should now be at a "$" prompt
Using "Apk Analyzer" on your tablet/device search for the app you are looking to remove. (Example search for Lenovo)
On the PC/ADB Shell issue:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.APPLICATIONNAME
The APPLICATIONNAME is found using the "Apk Analyzer" app...
The result shown on the screen should be success.
The apps you uninstalled using ADB shell pm uninstall -k --user 0, were only removed for the current user (user 0). If someone else uses your phone with a guest account, all the removed apps will still be available to him.
You can do this for any app that you want, but be warned you can inadvertently delete apps that you need...
How to re-install an app:
cmd package install-exsisting com.APPLICATIONNAME
Let me know if you need help, or have any recommendations.
