XDA has changed - XDA Assist

Hello,
I am not able to find the correct search field to use to find info on my model of phone. The "top phones" and "new phones" sections do not contain info on Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930T. XDA has changed substantially from when I used it a couple years ago. I am having a lot of difficulty with this new version. When I use the "type device or find apps, ROMs, & more" search field I get redirected to an unfamiliar place. No idea what is going on. Why is Samsung NOT listed as a "top" or "new" phone?

Hi !
Your device can be easily found by using the " find your device " searching function

List of Pre-Installed Apps [on Samsung Devices]

I have compiled a list of all pre-installed apps on Samsung devices (see attachment as xls and ods), the sources being all similar lists I've found on the various forums here and my own devices (GT-P7501, GT-n8000, GT-S5830). If there were a general 'Samsung Devices'-forum instead of a separate one for each single device, I'd have posted there, but as it is, this seemed the most appropriate place - move this thread if I am wrong .
I'd like to freeze or remove as many superfluous (for me!) apps on my devices as possible, but (as Gandalf said to Saruman - or words to that effect: "He who breaks a thing to find out what it is has deviated from the path of wisdom") I'd like to know exactly what app is what for beforehand.
Any research here and elsewhere is complicated by the facts that not only mostly localized names are used (What is named "Mobile Tracker" on English devices is "uTrack" on German ones) but that sometimes even the app-IDs differ (localized? "Accu Weather Widget" comes as "com.sec.android.widgetapp.ap.hero.accuweather.widget" on one device and "com.sec.android.widgetapp.at.hero.accuweather.widget" on another). And to confuse even more, some come as "com.sec.[some thing or other]" here and just as "com.[some thing or other]" there or are just named differently on different devices and/or Android versions ("Picasa Uploader", "Meine Uploads").
So what I have done is compile this list incorporating as many variants I could detect and the general opinion (from the lists I found here and my own experience) if it is safe to free/remove when not needed. The most important part, for me, is the description. I have filled all I've found here and found out myself, but with quite a few I have no idea what it is for.
It would be great if you, the reader of this, would look over the list and help to fill out the blanks - this might be useful for all of us (or show me that already complete list/database in the other forum that I did not find )

I took a look at your posting and have been able to add some information I've compiled from my Samsung device (Samsung Galaxy Rugby Pro, SGH-I547). I didn't add any apks (ie tetheringprovision.apk that is installed on North American market cellular devices for data plan usages) If possible just double check some of the information I added (to prevent confusion).
Hope it helps
Joe

Note to Mods or Powers that be...

A lot of people are still requesting a Gear 2 / Gear 2 Neo / Gear Fit forum, but I think the problem is in the "Type to find your device..." field at the top of the pages...
If you type "gear" into the 'Type to find your device" field while you are on the forums page, it works fine. If you do so from the News (front) page or any other page, you will only get the original gear forums as an option.
Hopefully once this is fixed, there will be less confusion.
I would like to propose that they also be linked to in the Samsung section on the "Compact" page. I can find all of the other devices I follow there, including the original Galaxy Gear. I can only get to the Gear 2, Neo, and Fit sections from the "All" page.
We'll look into this.
This requires the magic of either @bitpushr or @svetius who can hopefully help
This is a JavaScript caching issue I believe. We currently have this file set to cache for 30 days, but when new devices are added this ads a delay until they are available in the search box. We'll work on a fix to this to make sure it comes through more quickly.

[Q] About: Alternate phone names? (Leo, Speedy, Ruby, etc)

Hey all, thanks for reading... I've got a question that seems like it should have a simple answer, but I've been trying to Google it for an answer for a few months now with no luck because I am apparently wording it wrong.
Q: What is the proper, industry standard, textbook term for a phone's alternate name? (I.E. Leo for HTC HD2, Speedy for HTC Shift, etc)
I've tried Googling "project name" "development name", "beta name", "short name", and most other terms, but cannot seem to find an answer to this question and am trying to Google the alternate name of some Samsung Galaxy series of phone and tablet to help a friend locate his device on Cyanogen (which uses only the Leo/Speedy/Ruby/etc. obscure silly names on their downloads page... guess they got rid of the "hover to show phone's marketed name" feature :/)
Sorry for such a noobish question... I also was unable to find this question pre-answered in the forums. I just want to know what these names are called so I can easily search for "[manufacturer] [model] [version] development name" and easily figure out what they all are...
Thanks so much!

[Q] Can anyone identify my phone's chipset from the info posted here?

This page (click link directly below) was generated by the Spec Device app, running on the second phone in my signature:
http://specdevice.com/showspec.php?id=5da0-f9af-35c1-ab480033c587
If it's not there, then the website may have moved it The title of the page should read, samsung GT-I9100.
There's a lot of information here, and I don't know where to look. As you can see after opening the link, none of the lines say, "Chipset name". That would be too easy.
To avoid any confusion, please refer to Owner's Comments for the phone's real name, as was given on its box.
The difference between this, and what you'll read under General Specs / Manufacturer / Model, is my own doing -- an attempt to get Google Play to stop telling me that apps compatible with Android 2.3.5 wouldn't run on my phone. When I sideload these "incompatible" v_2.3.5 apps, they run just fine. I thought letting my phone identify itself as a more-common brand might help.
? Can anyone please point me to the line that gives this phone's chipset, and much appreciated if you could also decipher the abbreviation into a recognizable company name ? ?
Bump!

Google Smart Lock On Body Walking Pattern Recognition

Hey guys,
On the Google description of Smart Lock ( I am new here so I am unable to post the direct link to the page, but you can find it at: support. google. com / nexus / answer / 9075927? hl=en&ref_topic=6168852. There is a reference to certain devices being able to detect and recognise your walking pattern. I would love to learn how that is implemented and what devices it works on. Does anyone have any leads?
If you are having trouble finding the passage on the webpage where this is mentioned, you can find it here:
-> "Learn about locking options"
-->"Keep your device unlocked when it's on you"
---> "Use on-body detection"
----> Second bullet point
Thanks!
I guess not receiving a single answer makes one wonder if this is the right place to be asking this. Is there a different subforum I should be posting on?
Thanks
