Unrooting a phone

Hadron
"Flashing" is a general terms for updated the system partitions. It can mean inserting an individual app (via a custom version of the system recovery module) or overwriting the partitions completely with new system images. In the context of unrooting it means the latter.

Unrooting means undoing changes that the user made in order to "root" the phone, i.e. gain administrator access. Generally the simplest way to do this is to "flash" a set of stock software, i.e. completely replace the modified software with a copy of the vendor's original software.

Lock Individual Apps on Samsung S8

Hi Dannydet

I set up a lock screen from the very first day.
However, my real issue is that irrespective how strong the password is there are a number of options to bypass (unlock) screen on S8.
Samsung inbuilt Email app does not have an option for a password protection – and that is why I am trying to ascertain if there is a reliable third party app that can lock up Samsung Email app.

Regards
David

Root E5 cruise

Hi . I need to root. E5 cruise
Click to expand...
Isn't possible. Per protocol of the branded mobile provider, the Moto E5 Cruise is not supported by Motorola's bootloader unlocking portal. There is no known exploit, hack or circumvention to unlock the bootloader. As such, it is not possible to attain either systemless or system-wide root due to the inability to modify or alter the device's partitions.

"Add RAMs"

R
I guess we'll just have to contact the isp and find out what they can do (and get paid for) to speed up things. I hope they have a good solution that doesn't cost too much. Still, out in the sticks people are probably lucky to have this much. Wait...is that the Pony Express rider?

How do I remove Virgin/Bell Bloatware?

ROBOCRIPPLE
I looked at another guide with similar instructions, only to find that my phone has the OEM Unlock option missing from Developer Options. I followed these instructions on how to unhide it, but it is still missing. These instructions look like they were only made for the S8/S9/Note 8, NOT the S10. :(

I think because OEM Unlock is disabled, the Virgin/Bell bloatware will never go away, even after I install the stock firmware via ODIN.

I guess I will have to live with it until I find a proper way to unhide OEM Unlock... Or wait 7 days IRL...

Thanks for trying to help, but I am struggling to understand your post, as it is written in a very confusing manner (I am guessing that English is not your first language).

However, even if I worked out what you were trying to say, it does not look like an answer to my question.

I was tired, I do not know why I wrote on here, thought I could help out, meaning the first conact should be your own information, there is no way how to delete it.

Help Unsure what this issue is called

N
Yeah its pretty random but still annoying. I was noticing its when I'm accidentally scrolling on something or don't realize it when I go to tap a link or something. Even in Camera mode, if my thumb rubs the edge it thinks I'm trying to zoom.. then the button to snapshot refuses to work.

I just got the note 10 so no case, but I will try that and see if it helps. Thanks for the replies!

Layout File Storage

Shelby Swayze
I started a new app for a classroom tutorial video from Udemy.com on Android Studio. Now when I bring the app back and I have put a button, three editText boxes and three TextView boxes onto the layout, I can't bring the layout back and I can't find the layout file anywhere on my computer (at least so far). My question is: Does the layout file automatically save itself with Android Studio? With B4A android language's IDE, the layout file must be named and saved. I saw no prompt that I had to save or name the layout for my app ("Registration Form". Here's the app's Activity_main.xml code.
Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
