Hey guys doing project for school...Are Android phones Hackable?

Are you sure you're talking about hacking, or are you confusing the word--as is frequently, but incorrectly done--with cracking?

If you're not sure, reading this 'hacker vs cracker' article will help you sort it out.

Once you're sure whether you mean hackable or crackable, let us know.
Specifically a ZTE Blade Z Max Z982?How?

Really? Isn't that interesting! A school project directed at one, and ONLY one, specific device out of the thousands of Androids out there... :thinking:

How can I use my Android Phones to remember more than 200 Paired Bluetooth devices?

* We need your help to solve the issue so that our device can remember pairing information for more than 200 devices.

This is a pretty unusual need--which I suspect is why no one's offered any help. But I didn't want you to feel ignored! :)
• If any custom app could be developed to persistently store pairing info locally, outside Android default file system and further to be read from there while connecting the device.

Please guide us on relevant APIs, permission sets required if any.

You might have better luck by posting on our Android Development board.

But check back here, too, in case someone comes along with a solution.

Yes. Thanks for the help btw. It was this https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/mod-ios-sounds-t2692181/amp/

Wow, that mod is from a 2014 thread, and for Nexus 5. Surprised it worked on your S10e. Luckily it wasn't something that soft-bricked your phone.
You might want to try using Samsung's Smart Switch utility and see if it can restore your phone:

It may or may not work out considering what you tried to do but worth trying. Otherwise, yeah try flashing a stock ROM the manual way by downloading the appropriate stock ROM from sammobile's site. In any case, use Smart Switch to back up your data just in case first. Using the Odin utility to manually flash a ROM 'should' leave your data partition as is -- follow the directions on the sammobile download page and don't experiment with the various options.

Help message notifications

Many message apps have options within the app's settings to choose whether to make a sound when you are in a conversation or not. The idea is that when you are already in the conversation it's annoying to have it make a sound each time you get a message.

If your app doesn't have such a setting, use another app. But in my experience most do have it in their settings.

The only way I have found is to use a firewall to completely block internet access to the Play Store.

That's the very first stripe you are take..you are on the right track..

Then you uninstall the instant app..then you delete the updates for Google play services and play store(don't delete cashe nor data for those apps, though)..

Then you install the magical older version..

You are all set..never again

What ever you do in your appguard..don't prevent the Google play services from getting internet..just the Google play store.

Subscription

OK, I know nothing about Nigerian service providers, but their systems will record all calls made and so they should be able to explain why the credit has been deducted. In other words, they can tell you what calls they think were being charged, when they were made and who to, and I would tell them that if they can't explain why the credit was removed then it is presumably an error in their system and they should refund it. Don't just accept them saying "we're charging you, we don't know why but we're going to keep your money".

If they insist on being jerks and thieves, presumably there are other operators you can change to.

Bloatware on Android

Do they have payment plans @mikedt? A truly unlocked phone without a carrier backing it requires all the money upfront in the US. I'm talking buying the phone from the OEM or an authorized retailer.

I know in China that Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Apple, etc does offer 12 months interest free credit on phones that they sell. And that is authorised retailers.

Is it possible to crack the password.key or any other .key file from /data/system/?

Yes, I'd already said that it doesn't work on my unrooted Pixel, and that there's something wrong if it works on any unrooted

Strange Toast Message

puppykickr
I know that this is an old post, but I think that I might have the best solution.

There is an app, which is totally free, and ad-free, that is very small but works extremely well...

called Toast Source.

It is so easy to use, it basically does everything for you after you set it up.

Not only will it identify the app producing the toast message, it will put up an icon for you to tap that will take you directly to that app's settings- allowing you to nip it right in the bud.
