Help Please help me understand what's going on in this Preloadinstaller.txt log file?

What does com.sec.Android.preloadinstaller mean?

The “preloadInstaller” part verifies that the Samsung additions on top of the base Android system, like the User Interface, for example, are actually installed on the device.

It runs each time you reboot, in case some files have been damaged, to ensure that the basic files needed to run the Android phone are actually there, and if they aren’t, to reinstall them.

Please talk to someone.

Constantly repeat code

I'm trying to add a clock into my app and I need some code to be constantly running to get the current time. is there a simple way of making code constantly run?
I've done something similar in the past using a Thread that refreshes every second.
Here's a sample to give you an idea.
Java:
Thread thread = new Thread() {
    public void run() {
        try {
            while (!isInterrupted()) {
                runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        // Run your clock code here in a TextView
                        // Example:
                        tv.setText(""+((System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime)/1000));
                    }
                });
                Thread.sleep(1000); // This refreshes the thread once every second. Adjust as needed.
            }
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
};
thread.start();
Just do a search for threading in android to find tutorials.

Buying Samsung Unlocked Phone from ebay.

MY CONCLUSION.
1. Galaxy S5 is GSM (AT&T and T-Mobile) phone. User phone number Text and Data Plan are programmed into SIM card. If you buy another phone or change carrier, you are not required to call another company to activate a phone. Simply slip a SIM card to any phone you like. No need for a long-term contract.
2. CDMA phones (Verizon & Sprint) store important phone data within the phone's memory, which cannot be replaced. In the US, CDMA carriers use network-based white lists to verify their subscribers. That means you can only switch phones with your carrier's permission, and a carrier doesn't have to accept any particular phone onto its network. It could, but typically, US carriers choose not to.
3. Locked phone can be fully unlocked only by the carrier which locked the phone. Locked status remains in carriers data base and can't be removed by the third party. Therefore, all unlock services, including unlocked phones from eBay, allow to use phone with other carriers except with one originally locked the phone.
4. My Galaxy S5 900A was sold as AT&T unlocked phone. Yes, I can use this phone with any GSM carrier (T-Mobile) except the AT&T because it is listed as LOCKED in AT&T data base. If I want to use this "AT&T unlocked" phone with AT&T- I must provide an account number, phone number and IMEI to match the data AT&T already has for the given IMEI number. Of course, my eBay seller does not have it!
3. To buy 100% unlocked phone to use with any carrier you should be looking for a FACTORY UNLOCKED PHONE. OR ask eBay seller to unlock phone by himself and give you account and phone number he used to unlock phone, so you can check unlock status by yourself at https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/ Thank you all for help and advice.

Help with Android Studio

Didn't you generate the apks through the menu item of 'Build - Generate Signed Bundle / APK' in Android Studio? Here you need to specify your key or create a key to sign the apks.

In general, to release a new version, you should increase the versionCode(an integer value). The Android system uses the versionCode value to compare versions of the same app (with the same package id).

Help Finally upgraded from an S7 to an S10, text notification issues

My guess is that you have either set the default notification sound to silent or else set the notification sound for your message app to silent. So check the system default as above, and also check your message app's settings for its notification sound.

I can't be more specific as I don't use the stock SMS app so am not familiar with its settings, even assuming they are the same (my s21 is on Android 12, so the stock app may be different). Another solution is of course to use a different SMS app and set that app's notification sound to whatever you want, but I'd hope the stock app isn't so bad that you need to do that just to get a notification.

how to make app for emobiletracker.com

ok webview i can try thanks
I can provide you with a WebView app I made for a tutorial that just needs to be updated which I've been meaning to do, but haven't found the time.

You can use it as you like. It's better than starting from scratch.

Just update the code and make any changes you'd like.

Android Studio bumblebee Device Manage won't open

Stability could be OS dependent. I'm on Manjaro linux and Bumblebee runs flawless.

Perhaps try a fresh install and use the default settings which are quite sane. All I've done to mine is move some toolbar buttons around.

Been using android studio since it was in Beta, and even then it was fairly stable on linux considering it was beta software.
I'll stand correct, Bumblebee is not stable for MacOS Monterey.

Root [ROM][Unofficial] PAC-ROM 6.0.1

I will have to agree with that , in the past tried Xposed on my Sync (while i had one) with CRoms like Carbon, Bliss, Cyanogen etc. It always seemed to conflict with them causing phone to glitch out n misbehave, by the way if you go to the Xposed site you'll see developer is against it which makes sense given the fact that these are already highly customizable, having said that thou i can see the appeal since modules like XposedGPM, Resflux, MinMinguard, Xposed Gel Settings n so on would be great additions to them. It's a shame but truth to be told it just causes more issues than not, in fact not too long ago many developers used to include Xposed in their roms until it got taken off due to instability. In short Xposed for stock only.

Not true MAAAAANY SWEET tools and certain mods/things one might and deffinetly does WANT like build and OS 'spec/ROM,' 'Spoofs,' etc. But yes alot of probs may accure and batt life might suffer a bit BUT!... ITS WHAT DOES THE SuperUser want! .....UHMMM.... LIKE #ELEVATED PERM's# TO BEGIN WITH!!!👑$OON... REAL SOON BELIEVE IT! (Andrite Is Here) Andritians ARE U READY!?
