How to remove bloatware - Mate 8 General

- Download and install debloater here
- Enable developer options in your Mate 8
- Open the debloater and tick the app you want to disable
- Now you can disable most china bloatware in your phone, I have disable all chinese in my phone without root.

Looks suspicious, anyone virus scan/confirm?

better to refer to the actual xda thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294

Already did -thanks for Your comment on the other thread too. Problem is I cannot unblock the missing PhoneManager; got quite stucked here right now..

hm, are u still in touch with the previous owner? maybe ask him what he did exactly to the phone, modify it in any way? that way u might better be able to tweak it to your likings...

Thanks for advice; but this is exactly the problem:
I have ordered my Mate 8 at Valuebasket.nl (they also exist in .be, .co.uk, .de), as a new handset. On delivery/ opening the box it was obvious, that this Mate 8 was a used/repacked one, it had still had a third party screen protection plastic on the display, and after turning on instead of android start menu it started up with home screen -and a retail demo video of Mate 8.
Of course I have contacted Valuebasket.nl, but they (although promised "to help to solve my problem") do not response, so it looks I get stucked with a used, demo (?) model -for the price of a new one
Further inspection of the Mate 8 revealed the 'blocked' PhoneManager (it IS in the map system apps (ES file explorer), but not in the application list, and it shows as 'blocked' in Debloater, Uninstaller Pro; unable to unblock it without root), and lack of a number of settings items (memory, battery, battery saving, sceenlock and passwords, locations, notifications, protected apps, print), making the handset practically unusable.
So in my attempt to fix it I hope to unblock PhoneManager (maybe it solves the missing setting items too?) I cannot get any help from previous owner (with ValueBasket stating this is a new, unused handset); only can hope on some help from the community..
As rooting is not my favorite (Kingroot was unable to do the job, the Italian knife way sounds not really attractive; after fixing the phone I would like to unroot it again), is there any other way to fix PhoneManager?
Through ADB as SU copying PhoneManager apk in system map is an option, or does it work only -again- if rooted? Any other options -without rooting?

no doubts, send it back and get back your money asap!

Would be happy to do that; but ValueBasket (after an initial response "let's help us to sort it out") does not respond to my mails.. I proposed them to receive a new Mate 8, THAN returning the damaged one (the delivery of this phone took about 3-4 weeks, and I NEED the mobile), but I am afraid it will not work. Be advised.
Anyway, so I am looking for a plan B:
- ADB transfer PhoneManager to system map, or
- flashing the phone (never did before)
are options/ can be done by someone with little experience in this?

bigger contact picture when receiving/during call

is there any xposed module or mod for the edge that makes the contact picture full screen or atleast a bit bigger when receiving/during calls?
edit: i've seen apps that can do that but none of them look nice enough

I'd sure like to know this too.
In call picture is indeed very small.
It should be called an in call thumbnail instead.

even after 4 more months, still same question. Do we have an answer?
Try Full Screen Caller Id from playstore
try this: download picture to the phone- tap it to open with galery -more- set as contact picture. Test it.

Only works if the phone is unlocked on the s7. If the screen is locked, it just does its normal old call screen. Save your money.

Mate 8 pressure sensing

Hi
I just found this activity while checking
this app QuickShortcutMaker.
Application: Settings
Activity: Pressure sensing
Package/Class: com.android.settings/com.android.settings.pressure.PressureResponseSettingsActivity
How can we benfit from this?
Bye
Here is a screen shot
is it working or just useless function enable !!
I think that's just some old code from the Mate S Emui which they weren't bothered about removing
I slid the slider to the left and I swear it now takes less effort to press onscreen buttons.

Oh well, despite glove mode on I had a few touch screen registration issues here and there, caused I assume, by tempered glass screen protection, and I'm 75% positive it's way better and snappy now.
Menu has other hidden but undoubtedly working features, why this one wouldn't ?
Thanks for this !
I can't find the settings for the pressure sensing. I feel that my touchscreen is not as sensitive as other phone. Would really appreciate if this method works
Use an app that can open activities. As for me I used that good ol' lmt pie. Pressure settings can be found there at the very bottom of the endless parameters activity list.

From my experience I strongly recommend to not use the default oxygen os launcher.
The default launcher has two big problems with it
1) The launcher is extremely slow, when you tap an app icon there is a big delay before the app actually launches. Compare with any launcher on play store
2) The icons are two big for a 5.5 inch screen.
Please use Nova Launcher or google launcher. I use Action Launcher though

It is totally off the thread. Sorry to say but nobody asked feedback which launcher is good or bad. It is just personal liking. A person is asking for help that anyone can provide OS launcher.

Well, I didn't close, shutdown or explode xda servers by giving my slight advice here did I mate .
Ofcourse the OP didn't ask for feedback, that doesnt mean its wrong to help out a fellow one plus two owner, People around can still help OP with the OS Launcher I am not stopping them. I am just giving my 2 piece of advice, to the OP and other OP2 mates Rajat, making them realize what they are missing of the expensive phone we all bought. Wasn't discussing and helping out each other the whole point of having an openly accessible internet and the foundation of XDA Forums. There is a reason why this is not StackOverflow like, question and answer site.
Now coming to the actual topic in discussion, I have a right to defend myself. I am not forcing anyone to use any specific launcher here, I am just Recommending . If you have actually used the Oxygen OS Launcher, you would know Rajat, that its not very well designed and is inherently flawed. It almost takes 2 seconds to launch a app after clicking on the icon. I don't want the many users of OPT to think that their device is at fault here, the launcher is the culprit and it took me 5 months to realize this, I just don't want other people go through the same.
Sorry I have to quote you here :
"Sorry to say but nobody asked feedback which " forum reply should go to which thread. Or is it so that new member can be bullied on XDA, I am just new here Rajat, I dont know how things run around here,
PS: Sorry OP I apologize on behalf of rajat339 and myself for ruining your thread. But you know we gota stand up for our self .
I dont know if its working, but here is the apk

1) It might be your phone's problem because it works fine for me and two of my friends.

@magicstick5 I got the following from the system after I extracted file_contexts from boot.img using AndroidKitchen:
framework.jar; framework-res.apk oxygen-framework-res.apk; libs, Launcher3 and LauncherLayout (Don't know what it is).
How should we approach this? Do we decompile the apk and go from there, because Launcher3 is the name of the Google Launcher app I think. Here are all the items we need (I hope):

Huawei Swype Keyboard. Awful!

I find this keyboard really bad. I am CONSTANTLY making mistakes using Swype gesture to enter words. Also it has an aggressive auto correct. I never had this problem with gesture keyboard Swype on Windows Phone. Microsoft hit the nail on the head and offers the best Swype keyboard input method. Not the case with Huawei. Argh! So frustrating to use.
Sent from my HUAWEI NXT-L29 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Open Play Store, select other keyboard, install.
Problem solved.
Android ftw.
I do know I can install another keyboard. I wasn't asking for help. Just making an observation.

Yea when i got my NXT-L29 a few months ago i was stuck with swype for a while. It wasnt too bad not enough to replace at least. But since rooting and installing custom roms ive since never seen swype anywhere in other firmwares. Seems that Huawei even thought it sucked
Still using Swype here. Not the Huawei variant, simply the original one. It rules :good:
Devices that come bundled with Swype never perform better than the standalone app itself.

Install both.
Test both.
Uninstall the worst one.
Profit.
There is no "better" keyboard.
When I owned a Nexus, I used Swift Key and Swype.
When I moved to Find 7a, I used Swype, not stock, the purchased Swype app.
Now, I still use Swype, but not the Swype for Huawei.
I'm a long time Swype user since Nokia N8, so I've stayed committed to Swype.

LTE Band 3 OnePlus 3T North American

So I was reading up on various forums how people achieved LTE band unlocking on the OP3 and read nothing similar for the 3T and how it's risky to mess with the modem and stuff. I was messing around and found this secret menu using the app shortcut master lite for LTE band selection. I didn't test it obviously since this is my daily driver phone and can't risk losing functionality but I'll post the screenshots and see what you guys make of it.
