Coming from a long line of Sony phones, I recently bought a locally-made (PH) phone in hopes of getting more bang for the buck.
The device's name is STARMOBILE UP. It is relatively new so I can't seem to find answers to my problem. I also do not know what OEM device this is since local brands in the Philippines rebrand phones from Micromax, Karbonn, etc.
While I successfully (and painstakingly) rooted it and installed CWM, I can't seem to find the other (and mostly more important) options under Developer Options (please see attached photo). Among the options I am looking for is the ANIMATION SCALE. I want to lower these values in order to save the phone from unnecessary eye candy.
In the many phones I have used in the past, I have always turned these options off. I don't really need them.
Is there any way, then, to make these missing developer options appear? Or if not, just totally disable these animations via terminal?
If it will be of any help, my device runs 4.4.2. Please see attached image for more info.
Thanks in advance, awesome folks!

Open about phone and tap build number for seven times, then developer option will appear

I know that tapping the Build Number seven times should make the 'hidden' Developer Options appear. But as you can see, the Developer Options is NOT HIDDEN, it's incomplete.
Aside from that, this model has no Build Number as you can see on the screenshot posted above. Instead, it has Model Number, which, if tapped seven times, doesn't do anything.
Also, another problem, Notifications in Kitkat seem to make the screen wake up every time there is a notification. I fiddled with Notification and Messaging settings and there seems to be no way to turn this feature off. Any tips?

Regarding missing options, it is probably a modification the OEM made.
About notification, I have a Nexus 5 and I've never seen something like that. Does it happen with every app?

On point 1, it could be the case. God, I miss the animation scale option.
As for the notifications, I have notifications set to ON for Messaging only so I don't know the case for other apps.

No animation scale in Developer Options
I have a THL T11 and the animation scales (window, transition) are also missing in the Developer Options. It seem that it is common many chinese phones have incomplete Developer Options menu.
I tried "Spare Parts" app which has options to modify animation, but it does not work.
I searched a long time for an answer on how to change the animation scale settings in this situation and finally found it!
NOTE: since every phone is different, it may not work on your phone. You also need a rooted phone (which you already have) to make the mod.
(1) install "Dev Tools" by Dipesh Rathod from Google Play store
find "Settings.Global" under "Device" menu
click "Settings.Global" - > look for (i) animator_duration_scale (ii) transition_animation_scale (iii) window_animation_scale
@@ If you DO NOT have "Settings.Global" or any of the above animation scale entries, sorry you cannot use this method to change the scale @@
If you have the above items on the list, continue ...
(2) press "back" button on your phone to return the main menu of Dev Tools -> see if you have "SQlite".
If you don't, you need to install it from Google Play store (app is called "sqlite installer")
(3) YOUR PHONE NEEDS TO BE ROOTED ALREADY. Install "Terminal Emulator" from Google Play Store
(4) open Terminal Emulator and follow this procedure:
a) type "su" (without quotation marks) and press <Enter> - to gain root access
b) type "chmod -R 777 /data" (without quotation marks) and press <Enter> - to allow read/write in /data folder and subfolders
c) type the following to change window animation scale and press <Enter>:
Code:
sqlite3 "/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db" "update global set value = '0' where name = 'window_animation_scale';"
d) type the following to change transition animation scale and press <Enter>:
Code:
sqlite3 "/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db" "update global set value = '0' where name = 'transition_animation_scale';"
e) type the following to change animator duration scale and press <Enter>:
Code:
sqlite3 "/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db" "update global set value = '0' where name = 'animator_duration_scale';"
(this is already off on my phone, therefore I did not make this change myself)
NOTE: Use '0' to turn the animation off completely. I use '0.5' on my phone because I find that this is smoothly than turning it off completely, and faster than '1' (default on my phone).
f) you can close Terminal Emulator now (top right "X" button and choose OK)
(5) REBOOT THE PHONE to apply these changes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just for curiosity, I used Dev Tools to look at my Galaxy Note 2 - there is NO "Settings.Global" or "Settings.System", and I cannot find any entries for animation scale. Therefore, I made a disclaimer this method may not work on all phones.
"Settings.Global" overrides "Settings.System" therefore you don't need to use this method to change the System setting (eg. "... update system set value ..."). Making changes to "Settings.System" only affect the Android system UI transitions but not the app transitions.
None of my notifications do the normal heads up display on this phone even for the apps that have all options turned on under notifications. The icon just shows in the top bar. How do I fix
You have to enable Banner for the notifications on which you want heads up like notifications. To do this follow these steps:
Go to Settings > Notification panel & status bar
Open Notification centre/manager
Select your app from the list.
Enable Banners for the app you selected.
ENJOY!!
I hope this helps you.
It is like previous Huawei devices with notifications working only for a few selected apps (FB,Twitter,Whatsapp) or they finally fixed the problem and now everyone gets up even without the app being in the background?

add those apps in the protected apps section under battery manager in settings
Then is confirmed how is like other older huawei devices and the app don't get a notification if isn't open in the background even with all permission given?
Notifications are working perfect in every Huawei. Just set them right.
Did you tried protecting the apps?
I've done every step to make apps notifications work, they only work if opened in the background all the time, for some motive apps like twitter or facebook are in a white list who make them enabled to get notifications even when closed but games or unknown apps aren't in it.
I never got a notification from a minor app when it was closed, in 2 years I sue my Honor 8.
Now I discovered is because Huawei put some bull**** battery managment program in the phone who totally kills everything but their apps and some of the most famous and never fixed it.
I was hoping for the most recent devices to have a fix, Emui 5 or something but seems like they haven't changed their policy.
Go in Settings/app/advanced/ignore battery optimisation and add your apps.
Come on guys.
I wrote that I've done every step, notifications simply don't work.

Try manually updating your device by following below steps, your data will get lost so take a backup before.
Download latest firmware of your device.
Extract zip file and put the UPDATE.APP in the root of your external sdcard.
Press all the three hardware keys (Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button) simultaneously.
The update process will start.
You'll have your device like out of the box.
I hope this helps you.

My device (Honor 6) is updated to the latest version, I already done a clean restore, nothing changed, only popular apps get notifications, games, minor apps or not from the play store never get notifications. Every setting for getting them is on.

I think Honor is doing some tweaks to clean the background apps so that more RAM stays free, and the battery life gets longer.
If you were on Honor 7 I would have suggested DigiKernel v1.1 as I didn't have any issues of notification after flashing it.
I haven't touched the OS, no root, flash or mods, is clean...and doesn't work, I've heard of how Emui 5 should fix this bug but my device is out the list of the receivers.

This option is never mentioned on forums when people asking for solution to notification errors.
"Protecting apps" and " Notification centre/manager" did not help, when the appliction is not checked on the list you say.

You're welcome.
I know it's never mentioned on forums, it always surprises me.
Edit: I have given my S7 Edge to a family member, because they needed a phone. So I will not be able to experiment with this any longer. If you are not able to reverse these steps, I advise reinstalling firmware.
WARNING - This will trip Knox and erase the contents of your device. Please back up any important files. And don't blame me for any bricking or boot loops. That risk comes with the territory.
Please leave comments against spoofing out. This is a guide. Not a debate.
Note that there are shorter/easier methods, but i believe that these steps will further ensure that you will be able to spoof your location without the risk of a soft ban. Provided that you follow the rules to changing location.
I wanted to type up this quick guide, because I found it a little difficult to get some rooted devices to not only spoof a location, but to do so without constantly teleporting between locations. I have tested this on my own G935F, and it works flawlessly with the March Security patch. I will not guarantee this method for any other devices. Not even other Galaxy phones as I tried this same method with my Note 4, and it still teleports. It should work on the S7 series (Exynos and Chinese Qualcomm only) just fine, though. I played for 2 hours with no teleporting. US models do not seem to have Twrp, so this method will most likely not work for them. Sorry.
Please forgive the lack of photos as this is my 1st guide.
Requirements:
-A rootable S7 or S7 Edge running stock Android Nougat (I do not know if this works with Marshmallow)
-The latest Odin (Found HERE)
-External storage. For some reason TWRP doesn't want to read the internal storage. I used a flash drive with an OTG cable.
- The latest Twrp (Found HERE)
-The latest Magisk & Magisk Manager (Found HERE)
- Either DM-Verity & Forced Encryption Disabler (Found HERE) or Samsung Anti-Root Removal Tool (Found HERE). Both are supposed to work. I ran into an issue and ended up flashing both while trying to narrow down the issues, and it worked for me.
-GPS Joystick Fake GPS Location (Found HERE)
-Package Disabler Pro (Samsung) (Found HERE for $1.49) You can try a free route. Just make sure that it plays nice with Samsung devices.
I recommend a fresh firmware install before attempting, but to each their own. You can find firmware on sammobile or here on XDA.
Part 1 - Flashing Firmware
1. Go into your phone's settings, and enable Developer options. To do this, scroll to the bottom of settings, choose "about device", then "software info". search for "build number", and press it multiple times until your phone says that you are a developer.
2. Go back to the main settings menu, and at the very bottom there should now be "Developer Options". Press it, and enable "OEM unlock", and "USB debugging".
3. Go back to the main settings page, and press "Cloud and accounts". Then press accounts. If there is a Google account signed in, remove it. Do this by pressing "Google", and select your gmail account. Then press the menu button (the 3 dots in the top right corner), and press "Remove Account".
4. Press and hold down the power button, home button, and the volume down button. Do this until the phone shuts off, and and displays a greenish bluish screen that says "Warning". Press the volume up button to continue.
5. Go to your computer and extract the files for Odin into their own folder. Do the same for your stock firmware, and Magisk. Do not do this for Twrp, as the file is ready to go.
6. Open Odin and plug in your device. Under "ID:COM", one of the boxes should be lit up, and displaying "COM" followed by a number. If it is not, you do not have the proper drivers installed, and should do so. I obtain my drivers via Samsung Kies, but there are standalone drivers available. Look HERE for more info on drivers.
7. Once your device is showing up in Odin, you can install the firmware. There are 2 ways of doing this (Only 1 of these will apply to you);
-If you extracted 1 file from the firmware zip file that you downloaded, Click on "AP*", and select that file. In my experience, these files almost always end with the word "HOME".
-If you extracted 4 or 5 files from the firmware zip file, then click "BL" and select the file that begins with "BL". Do the same for "AP*","CP", and "CSC". Ignore the file that says "HOME".
*Allow your computer time to load the AP file. This can take quite some time. The program will act like it is crashing. It isn't.
8. Click on the options tab, and uncheck "auto-reboot". We're going to get all of this flashing done as quick as possible. Once you have done that, click "Start".
9. Allow the device time to flash. If the top left box says "PASSED" you successfully flashed new firmware, and are ready to flash a custom recovery. If it says "FAILED", there was a problem, and you should re-check the steps.
Part 2 - Installing Custom Recovery (TWRP)
1. Repeat step 4 from Part 1 to re-enter Download mode. Click "Reset" in Odin.
2. Assuming that the phone is still successfully connected to the pc, Click "AP", and select the file for Twrp.
3. Make sure that the "Auto-Reboot" option is still unchecked, and click "Start".
4. Allow the device a few seconds to flash. If the top left box says "PASSED" you successfully flashed Twrp, and are ready to root. If it says "FAILED", there was a problem, and you should re-check the steps.
5. This part requires some timing on your part. So read the entire step before following along.
-Hold down the same buttons that you did to enter download mode (volume down + home + power). When the screen goes black, quickly release the volume down button, and instead press and hold the volume up button. You should be holding (volume up + home + power).
-When the screen says "Galaxy S7/Edge", release the power button, but continue to hold the other 2 until you see the screen "Teamwin".
Part 3 - Rooting/Magisk
1. Plug your external storage into your computer, and place all of the magisk files onto it.
2. Once in Twrp, you'll be greeted with a warning. If you slide to the right, you will not be able to reboot, until you have finished flashing the files mentioned below. Slide right, when ready.
3. Press "Wipe", and "Format Data". Type "yes" to continue.
4. Press the on-screen home button, and press "Install".
5. Plug your external storage into your phone via an OTG adapter. Press "Select Storage", and choose OTG.
6. Choose the Magisk file that you just moved there, then choose "Add more Zips", and add "Samsung Anti-root Removal Tool" and "DM-Verity & Forced Encryption Disabler" in that order. Swipe to flash.
7. Reboot, and allow extra time for your phone to set up. If you are caught in a boot loop, re-flash everything, and try again. You can try to troubleshoot, but restarting eliminates oversight.
Part 4 - Configuration
1. Set your phone up as normal.
2. Magisk
-Plug the external storage back into the phone, and open the file manager. Locate, and install the Magisk Manager. There will be a notice about unknown sources. Follow the settings and override it.
-Open Magisk, and make sure it is up to date (3 green check marks). Press "Tap to start SafetyNet check". You should get 2 more green checks.
-Press the menu button (top left), and press "Downloads". Download and Install "App Systemizer". Reboot.
3. Package Disabler Pro
-Go to the Play Store, and install "Package Disabler Pro (Samsung)".
-Run the app. It will tell you to install and activate "PDP Engine". Follow the on screen instructions.
-Re-open the package disabler, and search for "Fused Location". Check the box to disable it. This will disable the GPS. So re-enable this if you need it to work properly. Reboot.
4. Install Pokemon Go
5. GPS Joystick
-Go to the Play store, and install "GPS Joystick Fake GPS Location". Once installed, open the app "AppSystemizer". Check the box next to the GPS Joystick. Reboot.
-Go back into the GPS Joystick app, and press "Fix GPS Jump To Real Location". Make sure that it is set to "Default".
-Go to the app's settings (top left, then 2nd to bottom).
-Turn on the following; Enable Indirect Mocking, Enable System Mode, Disable Location Service, Save Last Location, Auto Close App, Auto Start JoyStick.
-Set the Auto Start app for Pokemon Go.
-Process Interval, Update Interval, and Idle Interval should all be 500 ms.
-The rest should be fine as-is.
6. Go to settings, re-enable Developer Options, and set Mock Location app to "GPS Joystick". The game will allow this now that it is a system app. Reboot one last time for good measure.
If all steps were followed, you should have spoofing with no teleporting.
As of 7/24/2017, you should be inactive for 2 hours prior to making spoofing far away from your last location.
Having trouble?
Here are resources for many of the steps. I would utilize these before posting questions here.

Avery useful video guide for rooting
Seems like a lot of the last part is uneeded
All i have done in the past is download the app, move it to system with lucky patcher and disable location service in the apps settings and reboot
(system mode is active automatically after you move it to a system app)
Still works for me today just caught 4 Lugia haha :good:
no need for messing with package disabler/debug settings/ extra settings to be changed in the spoof app
it's a great guide, just one hell of a read i think you could possibly shorten the rooting/flashing to links to the official threads too (that way people will have access to troubleshooting already done too)

Thanks for the feedback.
I definitely agree that it is long winded. My S7 Edge was being particularly stubborn, though. So while some may get by on doing parts of this, I feel that this will ensure not only spoofing, but rubber band free spoofing. My Note 4 is even worse. As it still teleports back and forth with all of this applied. It may have something to do with my location. IDK.
I'll probably link root and recovery guides as resources, but considering how many people are new to root, and are trying to get this to work, I felt like extreme hand holding was essential, and most guides on here assume that you know all of the basics, and so they will skim over details that other may find to be important.
Congrats on the Lugia. Try going to Grant Park in Chicago. A lot of the lengendaries there are 100% catch rate until 5PM today.

GPS
Great guide but how can I switch back to normal GPS when required?
Followed it to the word, but when it comes in installing magisk, it says "please restore stock boot image" and just stops installing.
Edit:
Turns out i left TWRP installed from last time i tried, didn't even know, Best off starting fresh as I skipped that part thinking I was on stock!
Re-did it with 7.0 (G935FXXU1DQBT security patch feb) and it works flawlessly! Thanks dude!!
Thanks this worked great. But I have one issue, ever since I've rooted I cannot get my GPS to work normally anymore, I used the package disabler and turned on fused locations again but my GPS is still not working, have any idea what could be causing the issue?
This no longer works. Decided to do this on my other s7 edge, same model as I did before. Done this 3 times and PDP Engine fails with some message about device is rooted.
This DID work as my previous post but now PDP Engine fails (it was updated today 23rd) but I tried an older version (2.1) and still says the message. Not too sure what to do at this point.
I have been using this method for a long time and i wanted to turn it off and start normal real gps. But as you mentioned as below:
"-Re-open the package disabler, and search for "Fused Location". Check the box to disable it. This will disable the GPS. So re-enable this if you need it to work properly. Reboot."
I did re-enable Fused Location and rebooted but it did not fixed my gps. And now maps does not show any location either. So what am i doing wrong here ?

I would do the following to make gps work again:
- re-enable "fused location" inside package disabler.
-re-enable "location services" inside the joystick app
-disable "indirect mocking" in the joystick app
-inside Developer options, set mock location to "none".
I hope this helps.

Go to settings, battery, battery optimization and ensure your concerned app is showing you "don't optimize".
Try this and lemme know
I did that already. I searched and saw that that was supposed to be the solution.....but not working for me
In the same settings there is an advanced optimise (top right ... Button)
Make sure that's not ON

this device faces network drops, often not recognized if an app wouldn't show an alert like FB messenger.
these drops are mostly responsible for missed pus messages because the device is not ready at the moment the push happens and it will not be repeated every few seconds (delay)
even worse if one is using several devices, of which one is i.e. at home and the other on the road. while a the working device will receive the push notification the OP6 would not ( you can check for network drops where it shows the IP number, it happens on wifi as well as data and both wifi frequencies BTW.)
so in the last case the message will never arrive because it's delivered, (to the working device at home) and hence no more push attempt will happen until next message arrives.
i and others posted this in OP support, as mentioned above, open you network settings and watch the IP number, it will disappar and re-appear.
also you can use FB messenger where you will frequently see an orange bar saying "connectin" intermittently with a green bar saying "connected"
of course i dunno if that happens on EVERY device but at least it happens on MANY including mine.
since i'm always having 2 phones on man i'm receiving all mails and messages on at least on of the two which also illustrates quite well how often a push will reach one of my various other devices but miss the OP6.
Go to OP support and report the issue if you face it, that way they get aware of the full scale of the issue.
Yep, notifications are patchy for me. Sometimes they arrive on time, other times they arrive but silently without triggering the alert sound. Other times they only arrive after waking the phone up.
And yes, I've set to not optimise these apps and turned off advanced optimisation. It's a bug I reckon, hopefully fixed in 5.1.6
Well, somehow it's working...for now. I did a few things. I updated the Groupme app. I think I changed the notifications from urgent to high. Something worked

I've been having the same issue. Some apps work fine and some don't give me notifications until I actually open the app and refresh it. One is Power Facebook and the other is my visual voicemail app. It's highly annoying as I use the phone for business too. Disabling then in battery optimizations does nothing.
If you have advanced optimization turned on in Battery settings, it will prevent a lot of apps that need to do things in the background from working. It will definitely affect push notifications. I have it on but I've exempted a bunch of apps I want running.
Oops, n/m, see this was discussed already.
I'm not sure if it was switching the notification from urgent to high that did it but it was the last thing I did before it started working....it did go back to urgent by itself afterwards though...notifications still working now
..guys any other facing this issue? Even after update to pie stable recently.. I get this problem, notifications arrive to every other device except op6. When i unlock the phone only then notification arrives...all battery optimizations are off..
any solutions?
I got the same issue with Threema. None of the mentioned settings worked for me.
Any ideas?
Same problem for me. Super annoying. Is this an oxygen os or android problem? Would installing a custom ROM help?
It's the DOZE feature in android that is causing the delay in receiving notifications. Setting an app to "Don't Optimize" does not help; this used to work on nougat when I was using HTC U11 but this does not work in Oneplus 6 PIE.
Run the command below in ADB to completely disable DOZE.
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
The down side is that it will reset to "enable" after reboot so you will need to run the command, again, after rebooting. To get around this, I use Automagic to execute command "dumpsys deviceidle disable" after reboot. You can use Tasker for this, too.
After disabling DOZE, push notifications are received almost immediately. I often see notification for the same message on both my PC and phone.

Even using this i still do not get notifications i disabled every battery saving function.. I think it is time for a factory reset
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.

I just did this on the latest 1750 treadmill. Always great until step 11. The ifit logo just keeps flashing. I've cleared cache, rebooted.. help?!? It gives me permissions for photos and location and then just flashes.
Edit: uninstall ifit app. Go to ifnullthen and download app from there. Works great

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.

I just did this on the latest 1750 treadmill. Always great until step 11. The ifit logo just keeps flashing. I've cleared cache, rebooted.. help?!? It gives me permissions for photos and location and then just flashes.
Edit: uninstall ifit app. Go to ifnullthen and download app from there. Works great

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.

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

Nordictrack 1750 for reference.
I believe this is the one that has caused the error

With that being said, it still seems to be disabled
