Over a year and a half in and I'm still loving this phone. It just feels right in my hand.

It can be done with Nova Launcher - or at least it can with with Nova Launcher Pro and the TeslaUnread plugin. I believe that without TeslaUnread it will follow the Android 9+ default behaviour, based on notifications rather than true unread counts, which is what you are seeing.

Try it without, but if you need TelsaUnread to get the behaviour you want you can find it at apkmirror (it's no longer in the Play Store, as explained below, but it still works fine if you install it). I use it as it's far better than Google's typically half-cocked implementation of unread counts.

Explanation of badges in Nova and TeslaUnread status can be found here.

Well I am familiar with GPL, many Linux distros and open source software use it. Usually you can use the source code, make changes, and make money if you want to, the free is of freedom. I wasn't sure what the term meant because I haven't seen in a wile, I just was trying to make sure.
The site says that is open source, it does not mention any licence. I am a beginner in Android but I already have 5 apps on Play Store.

It would be a little surprising for a site or a project not to define what is meant by "open source" somewhere, since there are many different "open source" licenses with different conditions. Some allow you to do anything, including using the code in proprietary (closed source) apps, some require that any project using them is open source under an equivalent license, some forbid commercial use. The term "open source" by itself is not specific enough to tell you what usage is allowed.

(Of course if there really is no mention of a license on the developer's site nor in any of the code that could be read as a sign that it's using the fully permissive license. But I'd never put anything other than the most trivial code out there without specifying somewhere).

Did you reboot it and look gain?

When deleting large amounts of memory, or any other great change for that matter, a restart is a good idea- just to try to make sure that the data you are being shown is up to date and accurate.

Basically I am hoping that your phone is misreporting the amount of memory used.

Another option is that the apps you deleted have left behind a bunch of files.

You can go into your file manager and look inside the Android folder to see if there are leftover things from apps you have unnstalled.

tell me some new ideas or trick.

For eclipse yes it has them pre installed you dont have to install them yourself

not familiar with your phone, but make sure you have the correct drivers installed on your computer.

The approach of this question is possible achieve and this answer above not is a solution.

Sorry, Im confused you said "is possible achieved" followed by " not a solution". Is it safe to assume that mean its possible with some devices but it doesn't work with your device.
It might just be Googles policy changes with Accessibility Services on newer OS (maybe). I do know root apps like volume slider and kinetic scroll are no longer able to use Accessibility Services on Nugget or higher. It may also include Greenify and Tasker. Google position is the the services were intended to help people with handicapping disabilities. Personally, I prefer the old policy and the ability to use the app above. I just felt you should be aware of this as Accessibility Services deny drag drop mouse coordinates access. My knowledge of what your trying to do is of familiarity. Best of luck

Thanks for the replies folks.
I DO appreciate them.

it would be interesting indeed.....LOL

i imagine it would go something like this:

Is your bootloader unlocked? I assume it was when you flashed magisk, just wanted to be sure you'd not relocked it afterwards.

Is your fastboot program up-to-date? You can get those errors with an older fastboot program (though the fact that you flashed previously suggests it should work).

Did you download the correct firmware? I linked to the 3a firmware because that's the forum we're in, but if you have a 3a XL you should download the firmware for that instead (people sometimes are inexact about the model number so I have to cover all of the possibilities here).

So I installed the boot.img and system.img with a newer version of fastboot and adb and it worked. Thanks for the help man!

Shutdown I'm sure can be done.

Start-up can't be done by android because if the phone is shut down then android is not running. Of course the manufacturer could add a task to the lower-level firmware that can be instructed to do this, and provide a hook to set this through an android app. But this isn't a standard part of the firmware on Android phones, so as Mike says it will only be possible if your manufacturer has provided this function themselves.

To be honest with you, I think drag and drop app creation utilities like this can be quite hard to learn to use, and ultimately don't give you the power and flexibility you need. This only comes from using a proper development environment, and learning a programming language - either Java or Kotlin.
I've had a quick look at Sketchware, and it's taking a zero code/drag 'n drop approach, which in my experience is only suitable for really basic apps. I really think your time would be better spent learning how to use Android Studio, and how to code.

Thank you so much for the response.could you send me an email if you have a sec with pricing for app development.

There are utilities that claim to allow creation of apps with minimal coding, but I don't believe it's possible to create anything but very basic things. And from what you've described, your app has a few moving parts involved. You'll need a shared database, and this will require a web service hosted on a remote web server, so that all users can access it. You could even look at using Firebase for this.
But I fear that there's no escaping from getting your hands dirty and learning to code. Yeah I know, it's very time consuming, but there really aren't any shortcuts.
On the positive side, you'll find many online resources to help. Start by looking at the sticky posts here, which contain some useful links for beginners. e.g -

https://androidforums.com/threads/please-read-me-before-posting.987318/

You'll actually find that once you start using Android Studio, it does give you quite a bit of help, and even includes a handy graphical UI designer (a la drag 'n drop style).
Good luck!

Internal storage can be used for any mixture of media, apps and app data. Removable SD cards are different: by default SD cards are used in Android for media storage, not apps. So just putting a card in will make no difference to your app storage.

There are, as @ocnbrze says, two ways of using the sd card for apps (3 if you are prepared to root your phone, i.e. modify your phone's firmware, but as that's something for enthusiasts, and has cons as well as pros which you should understand before considering it, let's leave that for now). Neither is guaranteed to be available to you:

* If you just use the card "as is" you may be able to partially move apps to SD. Go into your Settings > Apps, select an app you installed (not a pre-installed one), and see whether you have a "move to SD" button. Not all apps allow this, but if your phone supports it then the button should be there, though will be greyed-out if the app doesn't allow it. If it's there you can use it to move part of the app to SD - but don't do this with apps whose widgets you use, as they will stop working on your next reboot. If none of your apps have such a button this means that your phone software does not support this option (most do, but not all).

* The other option is to format the card as "internal" storage. If you do this then it will behave exactly like internal storage, both in that it can be used for apps and their data and also in that you can't use it in another device (as it will be encrypted). The pro is it gives you more flexible storage, the con is that it can't be used in another phone without reformatting (which erases everything on it, so back up before doing this) and it will be a little slower than the phone's internal storage (and SD cards wear out faster). Again, not all phones support this, with some brands particularly removing the option from their flagships. If your phone has the option you'll find it in Settings > Storage.

also keep in mind that we do have our own dev section as well:
https://androidforums.com/forums/android-development.28/

have you tried and reformatting the card? you might need to do a factory reset.

This has been my bill reminder app for a couple years now. Just a simple reminder app that has any view you like and has auto backup. Had to pay a bit but it wasn't much.

Development thread moved to the dev area for better exposure. Good luck.

Here is a screenshot of what happens sometimes when I try to take a photo. You are undoubtedly right that I am doing something inadvertently but I'll be darned if I know what it is. This can be very annoying especially when trying to take a photo of a child or a dog or something else that doesn't hold still.

I love this app.

i really love it too thank you so much for the answer

I wonder whether this is a Samsung bug, since I'd expect the system to ask for a password before opening an app or when you tried to leave the app (as phones with lockscreen shortcuts to the camera used to do). Certainly any attempt to access any app from my notifications brings up the PIN dialogue.

The obvious workaround is to edit your shortcuts and remove the QR scanner from them. And maybe let Samsung know that they've left a loophole.

I like Nova Launcher. Lots of display options.
