Package Disabler Pro - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

I'm guessing there is a brand new bag of bloat to disable.
Does it even work, I'm talking to you reviewers.
I would like a baseline xml to use when I get the device.

Did you recently modify anything else besides what you listed? Mine is fine. Get greenify and see how many apps are open in the background that could be slowing you down.
Run a different launcher could help. Also set your scaling to .5 or off under developer options.
Other than that your G3 will probably never be as snappy as your m8 was
try this, it helped me

Have you tried the secret menu? Dialpad 3845#*850#, scroll down to Thermal Daemon Mitigation OFF, click and it goes from false to true, automatically keeps your phone from throttling at a low clock speed, makes everything snappier. I don't know why LG thinks they have to throttle these phones.

I turn my data off at home because I'm on a 4g fringe area, no need in wasting battery mindlessly, plus I just switch to my tablet when I hit the door. At any rate my UI isn't sluggish when I pick up my phone and my battery life is just fine. Promoting a phone as having a 2.5ghz processor and throttling it to run much slower just to save some battery is dumb.

I'm perfectly happy with my battery life, just because I posted a pic and somebody got their jimmies rustled is no reason to derail this thread, it's about the sluggish UI. I'm not going to go messing around with the build prop when I can just toggle my data off and use WiFi when I feel like it.

Instead of OPEN, change it to TMO. You unlock the same options, data icons are much nicer, and you can actually tell when you're on LTE. [emoji6]

My phone on stock rooted Marshmallow is starting to act up: it shuts down soon after hitting 15% battery, no animation, no shutdown screen, just goes black. And today it's been just randomly rebooting. I have no real mods or tweaks, just frozen bloat. I hope this is something they may fix with an update, or else it's just my phone?

I had a similar issue with stock rooted lollipop. Nothing that I tried resolved - clearing data/cache, reloading OS from lg factory image. I ended up exchanging under mfg warranty. Thankfully the LGUP refurb option and factory image option replaced OS, recovery and even got rid of the message saying the bootloader was unlocked.
I ended up getting the carrier insurance on the refurb unit I just got back yesterday since this was a problem that plagues LG G4's. Many say the G4 has a mobo issue after a while. I'm hoping that I got a 1-off lemon and the durability of other v10's prove otherwise.
My wife's g4 has had 2 updates in 2 days, the manager at tmo only works Thursday-saturday, I'll be going back to find out what's going on.

Samsung is no better than LG in this regard
If OEM updates is a huge concern the obvious choice is a Nexus, Motorola was good for a 3rd party but hard to say anymore being they are lenova

Same situation here. Sammy is becoming more difficult to root everyday. LG is sadly following suite. If I did but Sammy again it would only be the unlocked international versions of their devices.

Samsungs poor app optimization!

After about a year of changing settings, factory resetting this device, clearing cache.... I started to do my own research and doing my own tinkering with the device. I found that samsungs app optimization disables features in apps in order to consume battery consumption, but the truth is, it actually does the exact thing that makes your phone slow down or be sluggish when opening and closing/ restarting apps. I've been an android fan boy for quite some time and we all learn to realise that these are high powered devices that are being somewhat crippled by the makers "Samsung" being the worst.... but to make a long story short disable all app optimization and you'll see how wonderful this device is in its natural state...

I have recently downloaded Package Disabler Pro and have disabled a lot of stuff I dont use. Day 1 seems to be noticeably less battery drain. Good start. Thread below has some details on stuff safe to disable. I have also turned app optimization off on some of my most used apps to see if there is any effect.

The Update is a 600mb package with a lot Bugfixes and optimizing.
Can confirm still working on Verizon with all updates. Mine is currently remapped to 1-click camera.

OP camera ring / notification LED

All,
Has anyone noticed the green ring and dot that shows up next to the selfie cam when it's being used, like in face unlock?
If so, do you think it'll be possible to use this as a notification LED like previous OP devices? Do we know if other devices with a hole punch have that ability?
I don't have that and I'm on the kb2007 t-mobile variant
Sent from my OnePlus 8T using XDA Labs
I have it on mine. I wish it was available for use as a notification. Until it is...if ever...I use the app listed below and it works great! You can make the sides, top, bottom, or all of them light up...and you can make it light up just around the selfie camera...looks great. The settings are a little wonky but once you figure it out it is really cool.

I wouldn't really call it a concern. I just don't really feel the need to have always on display on, so there's no need to spend any battery life on it regardless of how small.
Plus, I am a little concerned in the back of my mind about the long-term effects of warp charging all the time on the battery. I know they have a bunch of built-in sensors and all that jazz, but still.
