Dear all,
and sorry for newbie question but I was not able to find an answer on the internet - mainly due to lack of knowledge regarding the terminology - which words to use for search. Is it rooting, flashing?? Can anybody post a thread where this is solved?
The issue:
I have a chinese cellphone HOMTOM HT16 PRO, Android 6.0 and would like to install few applications (antivirus, tasker and other tools) which I want to be a fixed part of the system = even after the factory reset these applications are not deleted. How this can be done? Or at minimum how this technique is called?
Thank you in advance for any answer and thank you for pation with the lack of language as well technical skills. :good:

What you're asking is quite simple
What you need is root access, and a root app manager such as Titanium Backup.
Methods of gaining root access is device dependent so you'll have to check Google or YouTube for the tools and tutorials for your phone.
If you're able to successfully root your device, then the rest is easy.
I'd advise you to go and do a bit more research on "rooting" though before you proceed. As you can potentially render your device a "brick" if you mess something up.

Hi there
The first thing you have to do before even start to look at how you want your mobile to look like is to Root it. By Rooting it you'll open up heaven's gate's in the Android world such as installing custom Roms, top notch apps, control your mobile and not your mobile control you, etc.
You really want to have a look at this link especially at what MoH21 comments and teaches for he is showing you how to Root your mobile. I cannot stress enough for you to read and read and read very well until you're sure of what you're doing.
Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727636
After that you can then start looking for proper custom Roms for your mobile and do the next steps like *Bootloader Unlock *CWM Install
...all of them are important and sometimes depending on which method of Root you choose (or have available really) the CWM comes included...
TIP: search in the Forum for a method to see if your Bootloader is locked or unlocked as that's crucial to know.
*for you to Google search.
Don't forget to thank me and MoH21 also for his tutorial

Greetings All
Hope everyone is well.
My question is: what is a good website for learning the Android operating system online?
The reason I ask this is my searches turn up websites for writing apps to operate within the Android environment. Or how to replace accidentally wiped OS on users devices.
I want to be able to go inside the operating system and add/remove code, modify things, and investigate for things like carrierIQ etc.
Can someone please point me in a good direction (other than learning Java language)? Thanks in advance-
GD
PS my apologies if this is in the wrong forum etc
Anyone??

Thanks

You can't add or remove anything from system without root.
Some malware has been known to install files/apps into system, but that is very specific and depends on the device having certain vulnerabilities.

Sir, your quote "Some malware has been known to install files/apps into system, but that is very specific and depends on the device having certain vulnerabilities" i could not understand .
Could you please elaborate what kind of event you have come across regarding malware that can install files/apps into the android system and what kind of device it is , so i can understand better.
I hope someone will soon help me out .

I can't give specific instances with specific specific apps on specific devices. It wouldn't matter even if I could because specific instances have nothing to do with understanding how or why malware gets into system.
It all depends on what is built into the malware and what vulnerabilities there are in the device's kernel.
A generic example is Kingroot, it's an app that is used to root devices, it is well known to install malware and extra apps into system when it is used.

PROBLEM:
1. I need to find a forum where I can learn about rooting in a general way, not just a phone specific way. There are too many overlapping problems with my phone and issues that I am too undereducated to pinpoint. I thought learning how to root and flash stock-roms might be the best place to start. Book references or YouTube channels would also be wonderful.
2. I would also like to be pointed in the direction of what the problem might actually be if I am out in left field, and where to find that on this site as well.
HERE'S SOME OF WHAT I WANT TO LEARN IN THE FORUMS:
What is the difference between Rooting and Unlocking the Bootloader? Are they the same thing?
Will re-locking the bootloader resolve the certification issue like I read?
How do I lock the bootloader again?
Can you fix UI crashes by re-flashing a phone's stock ROM?
How is a Factory reset different from a fresh stock-rom flash?
If factory reset doesn't stop the UI Crashes, will re-flashing the stock rom have a different effect?
Etc.
DETAILS:
I purchased a Razer 2 Phone and unlocked the bootloader but it was a long time ago and I don't remember what I did. I did some research and it looks like when I did that my Google Play Store lost its certification. I think that it is causing app bugs and failures but I am not sure because the phone's UI sytem, bluetooth and Wi-fi have been crashing before I tampered with anything when I first bought the phone online. Bluetooth and Wi-fi don't stay on and toggle themselves off. There is also no Bluetooth or Wi-Fi address in the system info. It makes me think that my Door Dash app bugs might be more than one thing.
I work for Door Dash and it's my main income so I need my app to work and I think that the bad certification is causing problems with my Door Dash App. But the Razer also needs a software repair.

Welcome to XDA,
I would recommend this>
1. Type your desired device for rooting
2. Hit search
3. Once located your device, head to Upgrading and Modifying sub section
4. Be prepared to read a loooot!
5. Practice in your device (try not to brick it)
6. Done!
For this questions there is no general rule you can apply, it will always depend on the device you try to root
What is the difference between Rooting and Unlocking the Bootloader? Are they the same thing?
