[Q] Help with a problem

My daughters Huawei Ideos U8150 has a cracked screen, you can not unlock the screen because the crack is right in the middle of where you slide the unlocker.
So the phone although can be used to receive calls, can not be accessed via the screen.
She has also managed to somehow set it to not unlock the screen when receiving a call(no idea how she did this).
So I have 0 access to the phone.
I have a program Lock_2.0.apk but can not just install it with ADB because her phone of course is NOT in development mode.
In the custom AmonRA recovery, I can enable USB, and ADB will see the phone as "recovery".
But if I try to install the app that turns off the screen unloocker it says "/sbin/sh: pm: not found".
All I need to do is install that app to remove the screen locker and the phone is useable again.
Any idea how to get it into development mode with adb? Or some other way?
Thanks.

Sorry to dissapoint you, I don't know. But I want to know how's the the phone? I want one to give it to a friend, is it good?
You can buy a used phone on ebay, i saw them cheap.

Screen is broken has a crack but its still useable im not buying her another one she has to learn to take care of her stuff.
But this problem is ridiculous its the screen lock that's causing the problem because you can still use the phone if it wasn't for screen lock.
There must be some way to install the no lock program.

Well, you can try to install a VNC server and access it via WiFi. Or you can try to make a factory reset... it will reset the lockscreen
And if you still interested:

Wifi is not turned on either
The only thing I have to do is install that un lock program and it will be fine but this is easier said than done.

Well, you can try, in recovery, to push the no lock apk to the folder /system/app and reboot... may be you can be lucky enough

I'm sorry I can't help you

a simple way would be just to get the screen replaced however you could refer to http://www.xda-developers.com/android/locked-out-learn-to-crack-the-android-pattern-lock/ to help get rid of lockscreen

Dude. Don't bring dead threads back to life. This hasn't had any posting in a year - how the hell do people even find these threads to resurrect? Reported.

Generally we very much appreciate users helping each other with questions, but not when the thread hasn't had any activity in around a year. That means the person's question has either long since been answered, or they've moved on to another device, etc, etc. Thread closed.

[Q] Galaxy Ace The End 4.0 Rom issue

Hi,
I got some trouble, no program can unlock the keyguard on my Ace.
I use Tasker with Secure Settings, and stuck on a job, when the phone should awake itself and unlock the keyguard (aka "slide to unlock" screen), but nothing happens.
Also tried other programs, such like No Lock app, with fail.
In conclusion I think is something wrong with this rom,
I hope for some help if anybody sees this, who know that rom.
Notify the developer maybe or sg...
Thanks in advance!
ps: I hope this is the right way I use this forum, not sure if wrote on the right place.

Hi, it probably is the dalvik vm error, it has been corrected in vo-1's 26 march rom. I don't have time to update the end rom , so I suggest you use his rom or another of the newer roms based on vo-1. You can probably get away without wiping data since they are the same base.

workaround
I've found a nice workaround, and therefor I can keep my beloved The End rom.
Just had to check the unlock with Menu button option in CM settings, then simulate the keypress with Tasker. Works like a charm.
In every other aspect this rom is perfect for me so far, I don't want to change it.

keyboard/numpad at lockscreen gone

good morning all,
i am hoping someone can help my stupid self.
i finally got a root to work on my phone, for the main purpose of removing mcafee. i start getting rid of the programs i don't need and can't find mcafee anywhere. turns out is in the "cannot remove" list.
so, i find a couple of tasks without any info and turned one off hoping that might be it:angel:.
turns out i turned off my input for the lockscreen. to make it even more fun, it is encrypted. i cannot get it to be recognized on my pc. i can get it to start in safe mode, and i can get it to start in the download mode.
it won't install the mtp drivers, but the rest are there.
so, i was hoping one or more of you wonderful, intelligent and, dare i say, beautiful people would know of a way to get around either the encryption or some way to turn the task back on so that i can enter my code.
thank you for not laughingtoo hard at my pain

Honor 6x BLN-24-cannot press "allow" for any app.

When an app asks for permissions, Allow and Deny options show up (regardless if for storage, or camera, etc.) but the allow button does not work. Deny works fine. So far i have unlocked the bootloader via Huawei website method (i guess you call that official) and flashed twrp. I have not rooted the phone yet (getting to that, but one problem at a time) and this is the first one.
I also saw someone else ask, but with now answer. Is there a way to get rid of the splash scren about the phone being unlocked and not trustable, press power button again to boot?

Do you have an special theme activated? Use the standard theme and try again

My 1st question to you is... when the window prompts, do you flag the option "don't ask to me again" or not? Because if yes, the only option avalaible becomes the "deny" one. This mechanism confused me too some time ago, when i wasn't understanding why it was blacked out; Android takes your flag as an "what a bore, just shut up and go **** ya' self leavin' me alone" answer, so it automatically deactivate the possibility to let it pass even one more time. If you didn't checked the flag, i have another question for you. Did you maybe recently made an update OTA, or with an update package found online? If the 2nd answer is what u've done, do a check for being sure that you have updated the phone with the correct package model. (BLN-21, BLN-22, ecc.) If neither this is your case, begin to tell us something more 'bout your phone configuration and start to think to backup your data and do a factory reset for eliminate this weird issue.
For the question of yours about the Nag screen (the splash one, for being clear) at the moment there is nothing that we can do to avoid it to pop out; just skip it pressing immediately the power button, is the best advice that i can do so far

I'll attempt to answer all these at once since I just got home from work. I wouldn't believe rooting the phone would cause this issue, but the problem happened before i unlocked the bootloader so I think that rules that out. I do not use a special theme, but I do use squarehome launcher for my phone, not the standard android launcher. Problem there is, the problem occurs with either launcher being active. And theme wise, I have a 3-d live aquarium for a background (which if turned off and just a static wallpaper, the same behavior occurs). As far as the phone update goes, it was an OTA update from 6 to 7, so still using stock, nothing sideloaded or flashed (yet). My data is all backed up via My backup pro, and doing a full backup with TWRP onto OTG is not a problem. I prefer not throwing in the towel, since setting up squarehome perfectly is a pain in the ass, but if it has to happen, it is better than manually setting permissions for every app that needs them. Not sure what a screenshot would do, think of any app asking for permission to use phone storage, both the allow button and the deny button visible (in white, nothing grey) and allow doesn't respond where deny responds fine. and then i have to go in manually and grant the permission after the fact. I suppose I could just root my phone and give that a whirl, seems some bloatware needs to be removed anyway, and i have the SU sitting on my hard drive already. Thanx for the responses, and let me know what you may have come up with before I just factory reset it which as mentioned, I am dreading doing.

Hi, so you have unlocked bootloader but not rooted? This is maybe problem, you need to have rooted phone if you have unlocked bootloader for fully using phone. Can you post some screeshots?

Well, I didn't think that would be the answer, but you, sir were right. I rooted my phone and it seemed to have fixed the problem. I don't believe I made any other change whatsoever. Thank you very much. Glad I tried it anyway as you suggested even though I didn't think it would be the answer. I am not above saying thank you, and I was wrong. Kudos. Maybe this will help someone else. Good thing is, I planned on rooting it anyway, and you just kicked me in the pants to do it.

Rooted but allow button is still not activated
Hello guys,
I wanted to activate app twin so I rooted my phone BLN-L21 android 7.0
Allow button still deactivated.
Also the boot screen that asks to press power button still exist.
I noticed that if I activate whatsapp twin it won't work simultaneously .
I.e : when you open whatsapp you get all missed calles & messeges.
Also I was able to download themes through themes app ,but now it just views the local themes.
Note: superSu is installed.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you

Well, I think this is not related to OP (or at least partially), but when unlocking bootloader after setting up SD card as the default storage can break some things, like default themes.
Try to restore your firmware, and then unlock the bootloader.
If successful, you can now set up SD card as default storage.

Question New Z Flip 3 Owner - Little things I can't get to work

I had given up on trying to make all of Androids little features work as they should. Now that I have picked up the Z Flip 3 I have a new found desire to figure out how to use the phone and the features that are giving me issues.
Issue 1 - The screen saver when charging is not working. I've tried my dock, and direct power plug in. No go on any of the screen savers- they simply do not show up. How can I fix or trouble shoot?
2- Please tell me it's possible to re-map the side power button to open the Google assistant. I spend a couple hours on this today and had no success. I tried downloading the assistant app so I could open it, but Samsung has hidden it in the pop up list of apps that can substitute the Bixby option. Same question - how to make it work.
3- I really want nothing to do with the Samsung apps. Is there any way to disable or otherwise get rid of them? Without rooting. Is rooting even possible? I don't really want to start with that again, but will if it comes to it I suppose.
I am trying not to waste days figuring out how to make the phone mine. It seems like everything I want, I can't make happen. So frustrating. Thanks for listening and thanks in advance for any help/guidance/resources etc.
Edited to add - this is a Google FI Samsung phone. I purchased it from Google.

Thanks! I tried it out, then purchased the button remapper app. It's working great!
I'll sit down and do the other suggestion also. Wish I didn't have to remove things and hope it doesn't break others in the process.
Thx again

Only disable the apps you can see an icon for in the launcher and those you are absolutely sure accompany them (ie. Stuff plainly named Bixby) and you'll be fine.

Got it! Thank you!! Will update when I've had the time to mess with it.
On another note- I can't for the life of me get the screen saver when charging to work. It's not that I'm dying to use that feature out of necessity, but it's driving me nuts that such a simple task is, simply not working. lol. I need to let it go.
