+1 Maybe a complete system dump from someone could help everyone and Project Sheild users in further development.
I would personally like to start playing around with the Grid application.

I've never dumped a system before, but I have my shield and will dump if someone can give me a simple walkthrough. I have adb installed.

If you have ADB installed already its simple .
Just open a cmd window, make sure your Shield is connected
Code:
adb devices
and then enter this code to copy the hole contents of your devices system folder to your PC (E.G Build.prop,System apps, etc)
Code:
adb pull /system
EDIT - If need some more info, find a ADB tutorial HERE and the correct ADB drivers for Nvidia Shield HERE. After you have the system folder on your PC if you would be so kind to ZIP it and uploaded it somewhere on to the net it would be a great help.

Thanks! I'll dump as soon as I get home from work. Around 5:30 est

Thanks man you rock!

I think the problem is USB debugging isn't turned on, but I can't find the setting on the shield anywhere... any thoughts?

usb debugging is usually in settings under developer options, alternatively you could use a file manager like astro and simply navigate to /system to copy and paste the files to your memory card. If adb is giving you trouble if you could pull system/app and system/framework that is the main thing we need. Thanks so much man!

try going the the about device page and tapping the build number 10? times
checked just now, go to settings>about shield then tap build number to unhide developer settings.

How to remove logcat files? (Not Samsung)

This problem has been bothering me all day. My phone is always out of memory and I've found out that it's the logcat files that are causing this. I've managed to root my phone and connect it to the adb shell on my PC but I have no idea how to remove the logcat files. I would appreciate if you could help me!

Check out this article. There's an app linked in it as well.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...r-enhanced-privacy-and-performance-root-only/

Thank You for your time but I've managed to find an older version of the App since it's no longer on the Play store. It only blocked the Main logs. But how do I delete the old logs which take up gigabytes? Anyway to do it through the ADB shell?

Logs taking up Gigabytes
Are those tree logs?
What device are you using? IIRC some MTK devices have an engineering mode. I've used it to disable logging before.
If you just want to clear them, download 3C System Tuner from the Playstore. It'll give you that option.

Additionally, if you can locate the folder in which they're stored, you can just go ahead and delete them manually.

Not sure if this will work on android's shell, but it works on the linux's. You can do this via adb.
Adb shell
Then su to get root access
find / (make sure to add a space!) and then .log I guess

I'm using LG G2 Mini running Android 5.0.2

Call recording

Can anyone confirm that this 9.0 pie update breaks all call recording app from the play store. Thanks for your feedback.

Updated to Android 9 today and boldbeast no longer works, it will record my voice but not that of the call )-: I am considering root now to get the feature back as i did find it useful.
Update: found this on the play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.jroot3d.joneplustools&hl=en_GB
Its all working fine now as it enables the oneplus6 built in recorder.

Thanks
But that also means that it wouldn't work without root like myself. Right?
Guess I gotta stick with my 8.1 until someone figures this one out. This one feature is like super important to me atm.
Thanks again for your kind reply.

Hi,
No root required, my phone is standard no unlocked bootloader and no root.
You just need to install the software, then enable developer options on your phone, enable usb debbugging and send the following command to your phone. adb shell pm grant net.joneplustools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Then you will have the option in the software (joneplustool) to enable call recording and also restore calling recorder at boot.
Then on the phone dialler , go into settings and enable call record.

You seem as though you just want to promote a product to me, and one that doesn't work.

I wanted to give it a try, but I can't use it unless I give permission to access my contacts. A call recording app should work without that. So: sorry, won't test it any longer.

Lol, not my intention. But the one thing that I like about this one is that all saved, recorded files doesn't appear into my music player, where as for others, they always does. Thanks for confirming that it doesn't work.

I am very happy with the built in call recorder. What is the benefit of having a third party app to record calls?

Does this allow recording apps to work or just the default recorder on the dialer? Also has anyone tried ACR? People are reporting that it does still work with and without rooting.

"adb shell settings put global op_voice_recording_supported_by_mcc 1"
It enables the default, native Call Recorder found on op6 and op5 and I really like it. It recorded all my today's calls ranging from 625KB to 2.29MB all good quality(aac files)

When you say you used it on Pie, do you mean the beta or final version?

You can also use Tasker to enable native call recording (provided you've granted WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission to Tasker).

It seems the system deactivates jOnePlus from activating call recorder after 8 hours. Anyway to make it a permanent activation?
Even after removing jOnePlus from the battery optimize list, the call recorder still gets deactivated after a couple of hours.

I took the official OTA Pie upgrade and enabled the recorder with adb command after that. I'm not planning to root my phone, at least not yet. I'm enjoying the Pie Rom as is. It's all good, actually great with the night mode, there is no bloat. I disabled few apps, mainly from google and that's that. I remember times when rooting was an important necessity, I've had a Motorola Defy XT, long time ago, with 1GB RAM and no space for any extra apps, rooting was mainly used for getting the bloat out and moving apps to SD card by way of creating ext4 partition.
My OP6 has 256GB storage space, 8GB RAM and I just don't feel like constantly reloading the system, chasing newest twrps and Magisk versions, softbricking etc,etc.. and having my phone 'off line' for hours while I'm fixing it.

How do you manually debloat and de-Google the stock OS?

I paid for a bootloader unlock for my Snapdragon Note 10 plus, but it turns out there are no stock based ROMs available for my particular model (non 5G version). I tried LineageOS on another phone, and I don't like it, and I need VoLTE because my carrier ditched 3G.
The bloat and Google apps don't have unisntall options, and this is my first foray into Android 10, though I've been tinkering with Android for many years. It used to be that you could uninstall YouTube and most of the other Google apps easily and the only hard part would be removing Google Play.
I'm guessing that I would need to run some scripts via ADB, or maybe use some Magisk modules. Or maybe even EDXposed.
I know this can get pretty complex, but searching the forums gives a lot of results from 8 years ago, so I haven't found much that's relevant yet.

The only thing what's needed to de-bloat a phone is to root its Android this because so called bloatware typically is installed as system-privileged app what means only user having super-user rights can remove / disable those apps.
Hint: Add Note 10 Plus to this thread's title thus mainly owners of such a phone get addressed.

so, like the post if i helped. because i know it will help. no-root process.
problem is simple
download adb and fastboot from here
connect your phone to pc and check if adb is working by typing command adb devices
if it says waiting for device for a long time use another cable.
install this apk extractor app link ( usefull to see package names like com.android.chrome )
now, setup is ready lets uninstall those battery sucking bloatware.
enable usb debugging from developer option in settings. ( if not enabled click baseband version inside about phone section to enable it)
connect your phone to pc and type abd devices to conform if it is connected.
and then type
adb pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name>
get package name from apk extractor and uninstall those bloatware.

Wondering why you suggest using this command: it's the most idiotic one I know of - yes I know it's spreaded hundreds of times on Internet and even here on XDA - when it comes to permanently uninstall an app this because this command doesn't completely uninstall an app: the data associated with the app still are kept.
The correct command is:
Code:
adb uninstall <PACKAGE-NAME>

hello mr.idotic who??????????
first of all understand that it's a flagship phone so no problem with storage.
secondarily, it's a powerful command so, if an important app gets deleted then the command i have provided is helpful because we can reverse it easily and have app data.
mind your language please. i was just providing my experience, if you have any good suggestions mention it properly this XDA is community of respectful developers.

Question Reinstall Buds Controller app - SOLVED

SOLVED
Hi all,
After getting the Watch 4 Classic, I deleted some stuff I thought I didn't need. So I deleted the Buds Controller app. I reconsidered though, and ordered the Buds 2, however I can't find the Buds Controller app on either the Play Store, Galaxy Store or apkmirror. Anyone some hints to get that app back without having to reset the Watch?
Solution:
Open a shell on the watch with adb shell
When the shell is started, enter:
pm install-existing com.samsung.android.watch.budscontroller

So did I. When you adb shell into the phone, can you then do a:

Or when you in the adb shell do:
