Is this spyware?

It's most likely a system app. I don't see anything nefarious with it. It's grayed out because it is a system app and you do not have permission to access it.

There are many threads like yours with similar questions. A lot of system apps and processes can be named suspiciously, but they are not.

Android TV box that works with external touch monitor

I wouldn't listen to that speculation about TV vs display. Android TV boxes work fine on desktop displays. You're talking about control interfaces.

The majority of Android devices have touchscreen support, it's just a matter of whether it's enabled in the kernel or not. I've tried a few Android solutions. The Raspberry Pi Android builds I found didn't have touchscreen support at all. The generic Android TV 9.0 I tried from Amazon was touchscreen enabled but didn't have the navigation bar enabled and that makes it basically incompatible.

What worked for me (and I have an Acer T232HL) is a Tinkerboard from ASUS with their Android 7.1.2 build. Not the latest version of Android sadly, but it does work.

I don't recommend getting a tablet (not big enough and not upgradeable). The laptop idea might be better. Although for Chromebook, there's no guarantee that there's support for the touchscreen there either. I've even seen complaints about there not being proper drivers for the Acer on some Windows versions. I wouldn't count on Mac support either.

Again, support for a touchscreen is support for a touchscreen. Only people who have actually gotten it to work should be answering this question.

Notification tone - how to prevent while listening to Bluetooth speaker?

In my case, though, it helps to set it each time - I have a BT speaker for my general working area, and a BT stereo headset. I can easily take calls on the headset, but I'd rather not take them on the speaker. Yes, I could always go back in a change that setting... but one way or another we would end up changing something to suit our situation...

Apps Android Studio ANDROID_SDK_ROOT Error

Hi,

I am using Arch Linux and running the newest android-studio (3.6.3) and running Android SDK versions 9 and 10 (Pie and Q).

When I try to run a device on the AVD I get the following error:

Emulator: PANIC: Cannot find AVD system path. Please define ANDROID_SDK_ROOT

I have defined the ANDROID_SDK_ROOT in my .zshrc file and also those other environment variables:

In addition, those are my SDK settings in Android-Studio:

I have checked and all of those paths are correct, also I have searched many other sites of people with this same error but none of their solutions worked.

I hope you can help me,

thanks in advance.

WiFi failure

Solved at last! After another false trail, using the WPS button which gave me only about an hour of usage, I did something which has now resulted in a stable connection for over two days. As a temporary measure I tried connecting to a neaeby HOTSPOT, which I have not done before. It worked, plus after some hours of use when I tried connecting via my broadband service again that also worked too and has been fine since!. It was entirely a case of trial and erorr and finally success.

Maybe someone knows why, it is as if using the hotspot kicked the broadband service back into life.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Hello and Welcome to Android Forums @gwm121

I also have Note 4 (n910p). I have root and TWRP aswell. Yes switch off auto reboot in Odin, pull cable, pull battery, volume up/home key/power key simultaneously is correct.
What TWRP are you flashing? Also what Note 4 do you have?

How did you root you phone? I rooted by flashing a .zip via custom recovery.
