Note 5, remove "Sprint" boot screens, perhaps with Package Disabler Pro? - Android General

I bought a new-old Note-5 (it's 2018 as of writing) which was locked to Sprint. (I use AT&T in USA.)
Since of course Sprint won't unlock being a-holes, I used one of the excellent online services where you pay $30 and a dude logs in to your phone and unlocks it for you (I think it was unlockallcellular.com ) - all good so far. Works perfect with AT&T or any sim.
However my lovely Note 5 has the lame Sprint boot screens.
I have heard that Package Disabler Pro can get rid of this for you?
In short which items then should I disable, or ?? I have fear, help1

search on "sprint" ..
BTW sorry for the lame question. I'm an iOS engineer, but I only use Samsung/Android phones as my personal actual phone.
I hung on to my Note 3 for years, I notice the brand new Notes have no physical button! So I was pleased to get a new unused (but apparently Sprint locked) Note 5 !
Please help your Droid newb friend!

Welcome to forums
1st. You buyed a chinese bad quality copy device
2nd. This is an HTC devices only forum
3rd. Ask for your money back! (If possible)
4rd. Buy an original HTC device so you can get all support from this great site
5th. If points 3 and 4 canĀ“t be done, then use google to find some help regarding on your device brand...
Good luck,
Hey orb, good advice as usual
Cheap copies are nothing more than a pretty paperweight that can receive occasional texts, sorry mate but dont expect full functionality or for it to last too long.

Which Android Bootloader?

Okay chaps and chappesss I am gearing up for my foray into the Android dual-boot wilderness and trying to get stuff sorted.
Whilst still trying to finalise the Android build I wish to use I wanted to clarify BootLoader.
I know of:
-JMZ (the free v4 one!)
-Exceller
-mkskip's
I know with the JMZ I can also use to install Android on first use.
Do the other 2 do that as well?
Does any one offer an advantage in terms of battery life over the other 2 (in the way they load android relative to extent of WinMo still active underneath - if you get what I mean?)
Any major reasons or other features to suggest one over the other?
I like the idea of having a WinMo button to load into Android as per mksip rather than having to power-off and select on start-up (don't know if Exceller does that as well though )
Any others I should consider instead?
Thanks
this is my favorite one

[Q] about US Mobile Service Providers ( ATT,T-mobile, Verizon,Sprint ...etc)

Hi all
As i mentioned in the topic title
Why do these service providers make the international mobiles so gay and change the whole design just to take the exclusivity !!!
for example the Galaxy S II GT-I9100 , the whole world use the one in the pic below
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But what AT&T do , is making a whole new design and release their own Galaxy S II which is on the below pic
and many other smart phones and mobiles
Why they never follow earth standard?? why do they like to be so gay!!
I only need to know for what reasons they do it
While I agree the US does get a lot of cool phones, we get shafted up the ass w/out the lube over plan pricing and what features are locked/done away with vs what is unlocked/allowed to the rest of the world.
It's a real trade off and I'd rather have a phone the rest of the world already has with better pricing/data options and tabs that can make phone calls.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

A pre-rooted phone....hmm....i bet it dosen't have any warranty...already void...
Code:
System.out.println("Sent from my SGY");
Joking right?
http://forum.xtreamer.net/Support/questions/40/Xtreamer+Warranty
this is really amazing... i'm gonna wait for this.. a 5 inch rooted android by default with a tag line "reinventing smartphone pricing" is a good tune to my pocket.
Looks like it has a lot of apps preloaded, or at least in the video it does. I guess with root access you could remove them easily enough.
The weird part is at 0:26 in the video it has Samsung's S Voice icon in the launcher.
this got me excited more than the iPhone 5.. LOL..
is it available now in the Phil.? or somewhere in asia, hk maybe?
tnx

Cricket/AIO merging. What does this mean for us?

*****THIS HAS BEEN POSTED ON SEVERAL FORUMS*****
I got a text message on my phone today from Cricket. It told me Cricket and AIO have or are currently in the process of merging and gave me a link in the text for more info regarding what will happen and change during this transition.
Site: http://merger-info.aiowireless.com/
check it out for yourself. It gives less than ANY info. It does say though, that Cricket users will be required to buy a new device at some point when the merge is completed to continue to recieve service.
I bought my Samsung galaxy s3 from Cricket in early December.
It is 4g LTE compatible and uses a sim card, even though it says clearly throughout the Cricket site that they use CDMA devices.
Does this mean it can still be used after the merge, or will I STILL need to buy a new device? I believe it is a gsm compatible device.
I will include a picture of my phone, with the back cover showing it is a Cricket phone that has a sim card slot. That actually has a sim card in it.
