PC Settings not working / missing - Microsoft Surface

Has anyone ever had their PC Settings stop working from the right drag menu.
Basically the word PC Settings appears at the bottom, but when I click it the menu bar just disappears and nothing happens.
I've tried rebooting and it's still the same problem. I have run the jail break hack but turning this off doesn't help.
Any ideas?

Haven't seen that. Can you still access the desktop Control Panel? Can you access the Metro Control Panel via the Start menu?

It's an odd one. I can access the desktop control panel but if I try to do the metro one via metro or start menu - nothing happens.
What is the file it is trying to run and where is it located?

I noticed other things not working as well
PC Settings
Store
Account
So basically I can't seem to use those at all. Very weird. I can't even do a refresh as it keeps telling me to go to PC Settings which is not accessible.
Any other way of running it?

As an update to this the only way I could find to fix it was to do a full recovery restore from a recovery usb image.
However, interestingly although I told it to do a complete wipe and format it still knew my settings and email account etc. So Microsoft must be doing some cloud based save of profiles as well.
Now to re jailbreak and see if I can reproduce it

Part of the point of the Microsoft account signup is to allow syncing of settings and (some) files automatically between computers. The other part, of course, is for the store.
You can control what settings get synced, but by default it includes a number of system and UI things, ranging from your wallpapers and lock screen to your Explorer folder options.

Some Fuze questions

I just got my fuze and have a few questions:
1) What is the easiest way to get push gmail on here? Is it through IMAP idle?
2) How can I adjust the memory usage so that most of my storage memory is used for current program memory (RAM) as I have a 4gb MicroSD card in there?
3) I've been able to disable the PTT button through the registry, but is there any known way to make it a dedicated button for camera, connection settings, etc?
4) How can I change it so that the whole d-pad and 4 buttons under the screen light up via sensor or at least don't shut off as fast?
5) Is there a way to disable the annoying keyboard that comes up on screen when in landscape mode (e.g. like when in a text input box in a browser window)
6) Is there a way to change the items that are listed under the internet touchflo tab?
7) How can I change the location of the images that are pulled in the photo/videos tab for the flip thru? Like I have customized folders on my memory card that I want it to see for the images.
8) What is the easiest way to autofill a recipient for text messages? I seem to be getting inconsistencies when I hit either enter, down, d-pad down, or d-pad center. Sometimes it autofills it, sometimes it goes to the message entry box and other times it pulls up the phonebook.
9) I did that customize your battery icons *.cab by someone on here and it mad it so that I always have a plugged in icon up top instead of a battery or a percentage. I can't find the *.dll to remove... Any tips?
Thanks, everyone!
Wow, that's a lot of questions that search can answer for you.
How can I adjust the memory usage so that most of my storage memory is used for current program memory (RAM) as I have a 4gb MicroSD card in there?

The internal storage should be used for installing all applications on. The Memory expantion card should only be used to store cab's, music, pictures, video's etc. It should not be used to run any applications from, it's just too slow.

The only thing I was KIND OF able to find an answer to is the gmail issue. I apologize if you are able to find something I'm not. I don't know what to search for for the other things... Could you maybe point me in the right direction?

Someone developed some push settings that can be installed as a service on the device but you have to start the background service every time you restart the phone.
Also - Is it normal that when an alarm or notification (like with the calendar) goes off, there is no pop up notification? I have to actually click the little alarm icon... Kind of annoying?
Not sure on the alarm thing I hate WM alarm I use SPB Clock its got a great alarm on it. Let me know if your "interested" in it.
Can you give me a link on where I can find this push service? I hardly ever rest my phone so thats fine with me

I think you should start by installing advanced configuration tool by Schaps, that will allow you to do amny of the things you listed, and allows remapping of keys, and has a touchflo configuration tool. It won't solve all your problems but it's a start.
As for gmail, i'd check out a beta software available from a company called Seven who make xpressmail for AT&T. Their beta software supports AOL, Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, & work email systems for push features. IT's pretty nice. Make sure you get their beta software. I'm using it on my tilt right now, i'll be checking it on my Fuze this afternoon when i get to the store to buy one.
locat the folder its in copy it go to the program files folder and paste a shortcut Rename it if you want. Then add it like you would any other one in the list.
I will PM you when I get home.

The shortcut didnt work. I created it in the my device -> programs folder (which had all subfolders in it) but it doesnt show in the touchflo programs launcher or the menu settings where i can add stuff to the programs menu? Also I have an MP3 in the windows folder but it won't show up in the ringtone settings. Any advice?

Builtin splashtop issues

Well new firmware updated the asus my cloud splash top.
It now allows connection using google from outside your own network.
However, for me it force closes if i try to edit my connection settings and when i connect all i get is a black screen.
Anyone else with this issue?
ya i have the same issue with a FC when i hit the "+" button
look for splashtop in menu> applications > all apps
and clear its data
Still no dice.

I cleared my data and still cannot edit my settings for the way the app displays the desktop of my laptop . When I hit the edit button the app force closes. I can still connect to my laptop but because the default resolution setting on the asus is lower than my laptop it instantly screws up my shortcuts. Too bad. I really enjoyed the convenience of working on my computer from my couch using my transformer. FYI. I went to the market and what used to be free(splashtop) now is $2.99. Could be related.
I had the same problem. Right after the update, I was able to connect with gmail, but had FC when trying to edit connection. I also noticed the password would not save no matter if you had the box checked to remember password. So each time you disconnect, you would have to enter the PW again.
After going to SETTINGS, APPLICATIONS, MANAGE APPLICATIONS --> Splashtop Remote, I clicked on Clear data and force stop. When I reopened the my cloud icon it had me agree to the EULA. Then I set up the connections again. It found them automatically with the gmail and also on the local netowork. I was also able to edit settings. My password automatically saved this time also.
One stupid thing that I noticed was that the hints gestures changed. In order to move the screen around you have to use three finger drag. This was different than before. One finger drag moves the mouse now. Took a while to figure it out, as I assumed the gestures were the same and dismissed the hints box. Now this app runs in the native resolution of the computer I connect to. Other than this little hiccup, I'm liking this app more and more each time it updates. Better than log me in for this device for sure.
Thanks reaperzero!

[Q] Disable quick settings in the Lock Screen/Android 5.0

I've noticed that Android 5.0 allows to change many system settings (enable/disable WiFi/BlueTooth/Autorotate/etc) on its Lock Screen without entering any password.
I hate this liberty.
Does anyone have any idea how to disable this feature?
I cannot find anything in settings.

I agree but there's nothing in android. 3rd party lock screen is the only way.
a fix for this would be good, as anyone can just pick up your phone and change any of the quick settings without unlocking it.
So you would not be able to track the phone if it got nicked and someone just stuck it in airplane mode!

does it matter if airplane mode is in quick settings or the main setting? if they want to steal your phone and put it into airplane mode, they will do it regardless if its in quick settings or the main settings. its stuff that you yourself use often that will appear in quick settings. i personally think its a great feature.

But they should not be able to do it while the phone is locked. At very least we should have the option of what should be accessible without unlocking the phone.

even if they were not in the quick settings, you can still pull down the notification bar while in the lockscreen, and go into the main settings. so, everything there is available to any thief.

Heck, I'm not even worried about the security situation with this, I just want to disable it because I think it is extremely poorly executed!
It offers nothing that power toggles doesn't, and is not even configurable for what options are present. I never use auto-rotate, cast screen, invert colors, etc, and yet, those options are available instantly!

They can also just remove the sim card or turn it off.
What I am looking for, is for the only possible thing you can do, while the phone is locked, is enter the password. Is there a way to set that up? Not be able to toggle any settings at all or remove the quick settings(I am ok with the emergency calling and camera widget, since you can't access the pictures on the phone until entering the password). I know they could still remove the sim or power off the phone but at least it might buy some more time if your phone gets stolen for you to track it or snap a pic of the thief. It would be nice if you could also disable the power menu and volume buttons while on the lock screen.
For now, until other solution is found or developed, you can go to notification settings and in 'When device is locked' change the setting to 'Hide sensitive notification content'. This disables access to quick settings from the lock screen but also hides titles of notifications, so you will see the notifications for emails, texts etc., but their content will be hidden.
This doesn't work. Well, if you have root and xposed you can install "Advanced Power Menu" to control the power menu on lockscreen etc and with GravityBox you can control the items on the quick settings. But I still couldn't figure out a way to totally disable it on the lockscreen.
As I remember the "X posed" Module "Notification Mod" could do exactly this. Problem is: It seems that development is discontinued and the stable ver1.2 doesn't (on my lollipop custom rom) work on 5.x

I am seeing this in my new Samsung S7 edge... with finger print and password lock.... it is not there on S5 with finger print and password lock... its a silly feature... why would they turn it on ? My son just put my phone in airplane mode accidentaly.... and I kept wondering why no messages and calls for the whole weekend.... hate to think what it would be like if it happened to someone who was say, on a on-call emergency personnel or something like that.... no one would be able to reach out to them.... I guess now have to keep checking my phone every hour.... hahahaha... or maybe go back to using my S5.. if someone has a solution to this pls share... appreciate it.
No way to disable access to quiick settings on lock screen on unrooted Android M....
Try the Market anyway,
One solution for me on Android 6.01 was to disable WiFi, Bluetooth, Airplane Mode, Mobile Data from Quick Settings using Systen UI Tuner in Settings then downloaded Settings Extended app at the Market and moved all mentioned in SE's Notification Shortcut. Don't forget to enable "HIDE LOCK SCREEN NOTIFICATION" in Preferences which is the objective of all this anyway. So don't forget to click this.
You can even disable everything in Quick Settings and instead put them all in SE Notification as Shortcuts. What's great about SE is that its Notification gets the icon color/shade/background color/color when toggled etc. perfectly in Android 6. Exactly the same. It looks like its really part of the Notification Screen except that there's that horizontal gap that separates the notifications and makes the screen fiddle faddle.
Try it anyway. It might be your only hope against lock screen vulnerability in unrooted Android 6.0 phones.

I have the same problem with my S7. Its weird that you cant change the wifi or bluetooth without unlocking the phone but when you select mobile data or airplane mode you can turn that off from the lockscreen so when your phone gets stolen, the thief can so easy turn that off that there is no way to trace your phone. Why do they even call this a smart phone while its so dumb?

I must apologise first, I’m not a nerdy-head about android, but I was thinking about my new phone (upgraded to A7) and your question is one that I sought out for answers.
In Nougat, I logged in as Guest and used a pin for the user so that a ‘guest’ can’t access the Guest account without my permission.
Then comes you’re question.
You can remove all the worrisome quick start icons from your quick settings (probably leave flashlight). Then use a 3rd party app (Notification Toggle is mine) which isn’t available to a user from a protected login.
As I’ve never had a lollypop viable phone I’m afraid another user might need to help you with a more detailed method for A5.
Hope it helps somewhat. As an old 8080 machine code programmer, it was always about solving problems and then working the bugs out. I'm not even sure how to post on these - socially thingy’s.
This issue it's still there in Nougat, so before it is passed on to Android O, we have to POPULARIZE this issue so they(Android developers) know how big of a pain in the ass it is. I'm posting the complaints to every forum, magazine, fan page, etc. When it's on the social media, they have to do something. This issue has survived because people don't want their friends to know about it, coz it's partly embarrassing...

x96 android box - Restricted Profile Help

Hi,
I just purchased an x96 box and was looking through the features when I saw the security feature for setting up a resticted profile. Since I have kids I thought it would be good to set one up, so created my password and then clicked "enter restricted profile". Not only did it restrict the apps that were availible to me, but now in the sttings tab all the buttons are gone (except for network) so I can't change any settings. As well there isn't anything for me to toggle back to normal profile. I basically am stuck in restricted profile and cant change it. When I turn on and off the box it comes back on in regular mode (all the apps), but then 5 seconds in it says "switching to restricted profile" and I cant make any changes to settings.
Anyone who can help would be a lifesaver.
Cheers
Android

I ended up doing a factory reset. Click on the apps button on the home page. Near the bottom is a button that says "backup......". Clicked on that and checked off delete data and delete "something" then hit restore. Good to go.
Hope that helps.
Let sera...
Ok so I got a x96 foolishly done the same thing. Here's how to set it again. While the power is off in the av point on the rear of the box poke a match stick in and there is a button insode. Hold it down. It will come up with options like a boot sort of setup options. I went to clear data or something along those lines and boom back to factory settings. I looked everywhere for a reset button it was only because company I purchased from advised me it was there.
Ditto! Is ther e any other option than reseting factory settings? How can i apply the original passcode I entered?
Did you get it fix?

X96 restricted profile problem
Now any new solution? When I set PIN code and apply restricted profile after that I cannot reverse normal mode, can't apply PIN code
With a factory reset ?
So did anyone work out how to get back removing restricted profile without a factory reset. It seems so counter productive...
Thanks.
Hope it works for you too.
Okay. So, I didn't see a reset button hidden anywhere, but I didn't wanna have to do that anyways. What I've found is that when you turn it off and back on, you can go back out of restricted mode. You just need to be really fast before it re-enters restricted mode again. You have about ten seconds. It's best to connect a mouse because it takes longer to scroll to the apps and options using the remote. But I did everything in time because my password was 0000. As soon as it turns back on, as quickly as possible, go to settings, >security & restrictions, then go to turn off restricted profile. Quickly enter your passcode and you're home free! After that, I'd highly recommend deleting restricted profile. Hope this works for you too!

Yours is the best idea to solve the issue. Unfortunately my GT1 is so fast, that gives me only 1 second. The same is with wired mouse. Is there any experience, if after master (pinhole) reset the Google account should get back all (Kodi reppositories, YouTube account,...) settings ?
I have exactly the same problem with my Philips 49PUS7502/12 Android TV. I even didn't set up a PIN CODE for it. I can't get out of this profile. Any solution rather than factory reset? I have many apps and customization.

NordicUnchained - Get back Privileged Mode on NordicTrack treadmill.

First off, mods, forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong spot. I generally have a device that goes into a specific forum, but I didn't find a treadmill forum lol, so general android was my best guess.
This mod is a no-root solution to prevent privileged mode from being disabled by iFit. It makes no changes to /system, so it is 100% reversible by doing a factory reset. This mod starts by disabling the factory iFit apps in the system, then installing the latest official iFit standalone app as a user app. Going this route still allows the new iFit app to interface correctly with the treadmill, but prevents it from overwriting privileged mode. All these instructions are written for Windows, but I believe it will work on other OS’s command line, so long as adb is already installed in that OS. If you are on Windows, you do not need to install adb, as it will run right out of this folder.
There are other apps included in this mod as well. Nova is a replacement launcher, essentially your new desktop. The included Netflix and Hulu apps are the correct versions for this build. Chromium browser is the open source build of Google Chrome, and it works great. The file manager is hard to access on the treadmill, so I added file explorer. If you download apps from the internet, you can install them by finding them with file explorer. Termux is a terminal emulator, for us nerds. Rotation_control will be used to properly orient the screen easily. All of the apps that are installed in this procedure are user apps, so they can be easily uninstalled if you don't want them.
The only model I have personally confirmed this works on is the Nordic X32i, but I'd imagine it could work on any Nordic iFit equipment that uses an Android 7.1 tablet and can enable USB debugging. If you try this on another piece of equipment, post if it works or not, and I'll update the OP.
*Important note 1: I did this mod for a family member's treadmill. I've never actually used the treadmill before lol, so I'm unfamiliar with it, and don't know if any special features are not working. My family member says all functions operate as designed. If you have any issues, post them and we'll try to work through them.
**Important note 2: We don't have an iFit subscription, so I can't see if the premium content loads correctly or not. Without the subscription, it shows me premium content, but it's locked and inaccessible. I'd imagine it should work normally if you login. Let me know and I'll update the OP.
Download NordicUnchained
Instructions:
I understand not all Nordic owners are seasoned Android enthusiasts, so I try to make instructions as clear and simple as possible. If anything needs any clarification, let me know. If pictures are needed, I’ll make it happen.
First off, DO NOT enable Wi-Fi ANYWHERE until you are specifically told to.
***If you happen to have USB debugging enabled already and know your IP or can get it, you can start at step 8.*** Such as in the event I release mod updates, then you’ll be able to install them without needing a factory reset.
Factory reset the treadmill. On the x32i, the reset button is in the right side panel, about a couple inches below the auxiliary port. The reset button is a pinhole style reset button, and it does not stand out well. This button needs to be pushed while you turn on the treadmill to factory reset it. Super easy way of doing this alone is to push a toothpick into that pinhole until it clicks, and while holding it down use your big toe to turn on the power switch. System recovery will display in blue text if you did it correctly, and you can let go of the push button. The reset process takes about 10 minutes before you have any input.
Enable Privileged mode. When you get to the welcome screen, tap on welcome 10 times, count 7 Mississippi, then tap it in the same spot 10 more times. There will be a message at the bottom of the screen confirming privileged mode is enabled. If you already passed that screen, you can do the same tapping process on other screens in deadspace. You can now swipe up from the bottom of the screen and hit the Home button(center button)
Prevent iFit from ruining things. Go to Settings/Apps/eru app, then goto the bottom where it says “Draw over other apps” and ”Modify system settings” and DISABLE BOTH.
Unlock Developer options. Go to Settings/About tablet, and look for the build number. Tap on the build number 7 times. You will get a message at the bottom of the screen confirming Developer options unlocked.
Enable USB debugging. Go to Settings and scroll almost all the way down to Developer options and enable USB debugging.
Set up Wi-Fi in Android only. Pull down from the top to open the notification panel, then hold down the Wi-Fi symbol. Find your home network here and connect. BIG NOTE: The computer or laptop you are using to connect to the treadmill MUST be connected to the same exact network.
Obtain IP address. Go to Settings/About tablet/Status. The last line under IP is what you need. It should look similar to 192.168.4.113, but your numbers will be different. Write down YOUR IP ADDRESS number, exactly as it shows with the periods and all.
Getting tools ready. Download NordicUnchained.zip on your computer or laptop, then find it in your downloads folder. Right click NordicUnchained.zip and choose extract or extract all. Then go into the extracted folder. While you are in the folder, shift+right click somewhere in the deadspace of the folder and you should see the option to Open in Windows Terminal or Open in CMD. Either one of these works the same. If all you see is open in PowerShell, use it and type cmd and hit enter to bring up CMD. In the terminal, type adb connect, your written down IP address, followed by :5555 {Example: adb connect 192.168.4.113:5555}--Don’t use the brackets. If you did this correctly, the terminal should say connected.
Now the easy part. In the same terminal, type UNCHAINED and hit enter. The process will take about 3-4 minutes including the reboot.
Configuring Nova launcher. When the treadmill restarts, you will get a choice to use Nova launcher as your home screen. Choose Nova launcher-always. It will ask you to setup Nova, but choose to use defaults in the bottom left corner. On the home screen, swipe up from the bottom and open Explorer. Grant Explorer the needed permissions. In the upper right area of the app, you’ll see a storage tab, tap that, then tap the Download folder. Finally tap nova.novabackup and open it with Nova Launcher. When Nova launcher asks are you sure you want to restore the backup, say yes. The screen may black out and act weird for a minute, but it’s normal. Swipe up from the bottom and hit the home button. Welcome to your new Android desktop. I even added a fitting wallpaper in your downloads folder that you can set as your background. I couldn’t get it to stick with adb.
Getting iFit to work. Open the iFit app and grant it permissions as needed. When it has a popup asking for access to USB, check the use by default box and tap ok. You can finally setup Wi-Fi within the iFit app now. We are DONE!!!
Do not use another Netflix app, because this is the only one that will work with this machine. Any others will error due to the tablet not running Google Play Services. This is most important if you use Aptoide for apps, since it will immediately tell you that it’s out of date and urge you to update it.
Everyone, let me know what you think. And for possible future updates, what would you like to see? I toyed with adding Aptoide as a Play Store alternative, but it causes some app issues, so decided against it. I considered adding F-droid as well.
Good luck and ENJOY!!!
If anyone tests this and has iFit sub, let me know if the programs still have the automated incline/decline enabled. TYIA

I can say that I played with the elevation buttons on the side panel and the elevation changed like it would. When I went into iFit and did the free quick run, it automatically declined it back to flat elevation for the flat track I was running on.
Since mods, everything appears to be working as I believe it should. My warnings mostly stem from never having used the treadmill myself prior to modding it...I don't run lol.
That being said, my dad says it operates as designed, without subscription. It's his treadmill. It's the latest official unmodified iFit app, so I doubt anything would be an issue, just can't confirm on my own.
Thanks for the reply. I'm just not sure if the app designed for a phone would control the treadmill. Did you attempt to controll the incline/decline through the software and not the hardware?
I'll see if I can figure it out now.

I just went into the iFit app and did a short "run" in Las Ganques, France.(I stood on the side rails while the machine operated lol)
The elevation of the machine changes as the on-screen elevation changes!
Question, can someone else check that same run. It's very slideshow like, not video. I'm thinking it's designed that way, but I'm also on DSL in the woods.
Great work! Instructions were crystal clear and installation was a breeze.
Heads up - on my NordicTrack Commercial 2950, I received an unsupported device error when launching Netflix. I downloaded v. 8.13.0 build 10 40124 and it runs fine.
Not sure if this is useful but the following programs run without issue and I'm able to control the speed and incline as well:
Amazon Prime Video
Sling TV (will launch vertically and you will want to install and log in before you install rotation control otherwise the login fields get cut off)
Plex
YouTube
PokerStars (only while walking - good luck trying to not muck your hand while running)
Before I found your solution, I think I'd gone through the factory reset-reinstall process several times, only to find that ifit had pushed through another patch. I am grateful for your awesome work!
The 2nd user disable step of the script gives me a security exception:
Bash:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.ifit.launcher
Security exception: Shell cannot change component state for com.ifit.launcher/null to 3
I have no experience with android, does anyone know what this means? The other two user disable steps and app installations appear to work fine.
Now that you mention it, I did have that error pop up one time. I thought it was because I ran the batch twice, though. Honestly the only one that truly matters is com.ifit.eru since it's the only one that takes away privileged mode. The other iFit apps being disabled were purely debloat since everything worked proper without them. Did everything else work, though?
Not a programmer, but I believe the word null points to it being disabled already, perhaps by the system.
TLDR: No need to worry about that error as long as the rest of the batch worked.
Yep! everything worked fine, I was just worried that the `com.ifit.launcher` rDNS was somehow privileged and would be able to overwrite settings and lock me back out.
Thanks for posting the guide! It's pretty crazy that an expensive treadmill would have a giant screen on it like that and not allow you to use the android OS to it's fullest. Honestly the ability to install third party apps like Netflix is a huge selling point and the only reason I wanted this treadmill.
Thanks for the very detailed explanations. However, the issue that arises when I try this is that when I boot up iFit after the whole NOVA launcher bit, it is gets stuck on the loading screen with the logo fading in an out. I waited for a decent amount of time and it's still stuck on there. Before I did everything in your post, I was able to access privilege mode by finding the secret menu on iFit, disabling auto updates, factory resetting and doing the 10 taps, 7 seconds, 10 taps. I tried following your steps on my treadmill (EXP14i) after that but some of them I wasn't exactly able to replicate. Instead of the "eru" app, there was only the iFit Admin app, on which I disabled the options for “Draw over other apps” and ”Modify system settings”. When my treadmill resets after doing the thing with NordicUnchained in the windows PowerShell, it doesn't give me the option to use NOVA launcher as my home screen, so I instead press "use defaults" in the bottom left. Then when I go to open up Explorer, I doesn't prompt me to grant any privileges, and I can just go to downloads to restore the backup of NOVA launcher. Then when I open up iFit, I gets stuck on the loading screen forever. I'm not exactly familiar with how android os and all the programming involved works, I'm just good at following instructions. Please let me know where I might have gone wrong and what I can do to fix it! Console is on android version 9 btw.
Can you still get into it via adb? If so run *adb shell pm list packages* depending on your output, I could tell you some commands that might help.
The x32i is Android 7, but a lot of stuff should still work in 9. Send me your package list and I'll see if I can snuff out the issue.
Has anyone tried to to enable Developer mode/ADB, update to the lastest Android 9 version then run the .bat on PC which will restore the older iFIT without the pin? I believe ADB will still stay enabled even after loosing GodMode.
My Proform Pro 2000 is still on 8.0, don't want to update to 9 because I believe it will just jump to the lastest version.
NordicUnchained worked great on my Pro 2000, just have to swap netflix to an earlier version.

First off, mods, forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong spot. I generally have a device that goes into a specific forum, but I didn't find a treadmill forum lol, so general android was my best guess.
This mod is a no-root solution to prevent privileged mode from being disabled by iFit. It makes no changes to /system, so it is 100% reversible by doing a factory reset. This mod starts by disabling the factory iFit apps in the system, then installing the latest official iFit standalone app as a user app. Going this route still allows the new iFit app to interface correctly with the treadmill, but prevents it from overwriting privileged mode. All these instructions are written for Windows, but I believe it will work on other OS’s command line, so long as adb is already installed in that OS. If you are on Windows, you do not need to install adb, as it will run right out of this folder.
There are other apps included in this mod as well. Nova is a replacement launcher, essentially your new desktop. The included Netflix and Hulu apps are the correct versions for this build. Chromium browser is the open source build of Google Chrome, and it works great. The file manager is hard to access on the treadmill, so I added file explorer. If you download apps from the internet, you can install them by finding them with file explorer. Termux is a terminal emulator, for us nerds. Rotation_control will be used to properly orient the screen easily. All of the apps that are installed in this procedure are user apps, so they can be easily uninstalled if you don't want them.

Your instructions worked to a t foremost so thank you. Big issue followed though, my Ifit is now disabled so not only does the app not work, the treadmill does not function. I looked into the settings at the actual program at it says 'disabled'. I looked at what the command program file says it did (sorry newbie) and it appears its forcing Ifit to disable. Any fixes? I've attached a picture, fyi I tried resubmitting the information to the unit that's why it shows twice in the command program.

Curious if you've had time to test it out. I first had zero issues at all but lately, I'll start up ifit then switch to Netflix, Sling, etc,, and all is good until I try to switch back over to ifit. It causes the screen to freeze. I can manually stop the treadmill using the controls below the display, but I then must power cycle the treadmill (2950).
I'm going to try using the ifnullthen and hopefully that will resolve the freezing issue. But please let me know how it's been working for you!

All is well with the ifnullthen version of the ifit app. I do have a permission request for some "generic adapter" when it loads up the first time, but I can start a program, switch to netflix or plex, switch back... all is well.
Most of the time I start a workout, switch to plex and just use the tactile buttons to change speed. When I am done, I'll switch back to ifit to check out time and distance.
https://ufile.io/290t3xp6 is the link I used

I installed the ifnullthen version and all is working perfectly. The SlingTV app does a nice job with their overlay feature so I can use the ifit timer for intervals/HIIT while still watching TV, albeit in a smaller window. Now, if only the ifit app could have that overlay feature so it's a smaller window over other streaming apps like Prime, Netflix, Plex, etc.
If you happen to find out if anyone add this overlay function to the ifit app, please let me know!
Thank you so much for this.
Everything seems to have worked well but i did get one error while running your script
