Redmi Note 9 Pro : I've had a lot of cell phones, but only on my Redmi Note 9 Pro does the following happen:
Miui 12 has a function "Automatically on/off speaker ...". But this only works with "talkback". For generations of mobile phones there have been extra programs for this function that either run separately or are built into audio recorders or phone apps. However, these apps do not work on my Remi 9. That was the reason why I rooted the device. However, there was no change. The rooting process had no effect. E.g. I would like to send an SMS to myself using "AutomateIt" when I receive an email. - But it doesn't work either. AI asks for permission to read emails. I give permission. Everything looks well, but if I check the permissions under "additional permissions" afterwards, no permission has been granted.
First I thought it was due to AI - but I think it is due to Redmi n9: I tried to rename any file in the root - e.g. "media / mybootanimation.zip". A message appears that this cannot be carried out. Whereby it doesn't work with multiple explorers. If I change the rights of the file to "755", that doesn't work either.
Accordingly, there is generally a write block.
Can someone tell me what to do to make this work?

This tutorial will show you how to setup your device as admin and configure other user profiles (this is important when you're not the owner). Your device maker disabled multiuser functionality in Kitkat, like on my Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70L? - then this for you. At least, that's where this procedure is tested on. Afaik, this should work on Lollipop too. But will it work for your device? - No clue, you tell us!
Basically it's an accumulation of what I've read here (thanks again) and my personal experience as a noob myself.
So far, this guide is incomplete and I'm hoping for some pro tipps to perfect it. Please help me sort out the unclear parts highlighted in red and I'll update this post accordingly. The sooner the better, because this actually is not my device and someday soon I'll have to pass it over to my mom since it's my present to her, I'm only setting this slab up...
Preconditions:
Android treats the first account created as "owner". Only owner will have root privileges if installed accordingly (=admin).
Root permission and a file manager (e.g. ES File Explorer) are required for this fix so go get that first. For the Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70L, I followed this beautiful guide, besides that, I can't help much here.
Unable/uninstall all bloatware (I was adventurous with Titanium Backup with no probs so far, but some crap remained from looking at new user folders; still in search of a vendor/device-specific "save to remove" list)
Install ALL apps you and the other users suppesdly need. This will avoid the need to redownload and reinstall all the apps for each and every user wasting storage. Think thrice, usually it'll be more than desired, but better you do it instead of a DAU... Each user will be able to install apps later though. Full control over user restrictions can be applied for "guest profile" only.
Steps:
In file explorer, go to /system/ and open build.prop
Check if you have anything like the below text (you shouldn't, otherwise edit accordingly) and add these lines at the end of it:
Code:
# Multi Users
fw.max_users=[COLOR="DarkGreen"]X[/COLOR]
fw.show_multiuserui=1
Replace X with your desired digit (up to 7?)
(I've read somewhere that 7 users is maximum that system can handle, but I haven't tried)
Save, reboot and log in as "owner" (your profile)
Go to Settings>Device and say hello to new item "Users"
Create new users and/or a guest profile (important: write down the order in which you created them!)
All new user profiles are now shown as "new user" no matter what you wrote in the profile properties (only guest will be shown as "guest"). Mind you, this also applies for the lockscreen!
In file explorer, go to /data/system/users/ to find your users' folders containing some system files (what exactly?) Now guess what - the order of the numbered folders and #.xml files match the order you created them. "0" is you, the owner.
Open each .xml file and replace "Owner" with "Your Name" and "New user" with "Username"
Put the device to sleep, trigger lockscreen and log in to each user profile and
Pull down shortcut menu from top right and enable autorotate
Go to Settings>Users>Security, check all settings and note each unlock-code
Disable background services like sync, location, etc. that could potentionally drain battery where applicable
Rinse & repeat 8) for all new profiles
Install "Multi-User App Share" and set apps per user. (Or is there a newer app or more hackish approach without the need for xposed or compiling stuff etc.?)
= DONE =
If you want the user icon in status bar, follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-users-mod-t3017782/post58659868#post58659868 (haven't tried that ).
Well... build.prop fixes are working, at least for me. It's good alternative to multi-user app from Xposed (we don't want to use Xposed too much...).
Still tried with decompiling & compiling framework for fixing icon problem, and... in framework-res there is not status_bar_expanded_header.xml file, se we are in deep ****.
I am working on: LP
Hello,
I am looking for an app like Samsung's Secure Folder. Is there something similar? And in particular is there a smartphone which has something similar by default?
I know Xiaomi use that, but you cannot use first and second place together. In samsung, the secure folder is an app so you can use apps hidden there together with normal apps.
I'm looking for the same thing, any alternative to Samsung Secure Folder for other device
I would like to switch to Huawai with EMUI 8 but it dosen't seem to have something similar by default
I've just watched a video on YouTube about the Huawei 20 pros features, and the secure folder is one of the things keeping me with Samsung.
The video shows Huawei has a private space, feature in security settings that you can move apps and files into.
You can have a different finger print and password to the one for unlocking the phone.
I saw videos about private space but I'm not sure if apps can run in background and if you get notifications while is not active
just opened a new thread in P20 forum
DISABLE PRESIDENTIAL/ CMAS ALERTS-ALL COUNTRIES
I'd like to say the original post about how to do this is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1829681
This is an easier, alternative method that only takes a few minutes. Since September 20Th 2018 is closing upon us fast, here is a method to get rid of the emergency broadcasts.
DISCLAIMER:
Always have your phone backed up in TWRP and also for safety one should create a copy of the XML file being addressed. I am not responsible if you brick your phone. (Luckily with this method it is near impossible to do so).
NEEDED:
-Rooted Android
-Quick Edit Text Editor (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rhmsoft.edit)
GUIDE:
-download quick edit and open the application
-in the app, select internal storage
-go to the parent directory "/ "
-go to "data" then "user_de" then "0" then "com.android.cellbroadcastreceiver" then "shared_prefs"
-open the file "com.android.cellbroadcastreceiver_preferences.xml"
-change presidential value to "false" and whatever else you'd like to be changed
-press back button and save changes
-restart your phone
(Some phones may not have the file in that specific directory. If not refer to the original guide).
This method was tested on a Moto Z2 Play US Retail edition running 8.0.
Please keep the ethics of whether one should disable this feature or not out of this forum. Thanks

Also this can be done with an unrooted phone but you'll need to edit the file on the computer and save it that way.

Trying this on my Nexus 5 (Hammerhead D821) and while I can find and edit the file, it looks like the line pertaining to presidential alerts is missing.
Should I edit it in and set it to false?
Also, when I rebooted and checked the Emergency Alerts config in the Settings app, the boxes were still checked/active.
The new values re-enable themselves upon rebooting.
Any thoughts on how to make them permanent?
Update from my previous post: I've used Titanium Backup to freeze Cell Broadcasts and then an su terminal to remove /system/system/priv-app/CellBroadcastReceiver/CellBroadcastReceiver.apk completely. Confirmed the .apk file did not come back after reboot.
Do the XML files still need to be edited? I couldn't find the files in the original path, I had to go elsewhere and unfortunately did not write down where I found them (there were 2 XML preference files.)
Also, fossils-n-dents definitely deserves an answer. I don't mean to try to draw attention away from his/her question.
What ELSE can they do with carrier authorisation for WEA?
We had the "Presidential" Wireless Emergency Alert go USA-wide on 03 October (I'm roaming from Europe so this was a big shock). I'm less concerned with how to disable alert messages than any back door that WEA compatibility might provide carriers to manipulate the phone beyond sending a 90-character text-only message.
Can anyone post evidence that com.android.cellbroadcastreceiver & other service apps don't provide an opportunity for the carrier to control, shut down, commandeer or enable surveillance on the phone? FYI I'm not an Android developer but can read code & comments, I just don't know where to look....

Since you are using titanium Backup, why don't you just backup and uninstall cell broadcasts 9 app?

Cell broadcast receiver has no permission to use anything except (send and receive SMS messages).
Ok, so, i first contacted the Samsung community, but all they could help me with was "well, just reset the phone or the sd" so i'm searching for some help here .
My SD won't show in some apps, system apps will show SD, but apps like RAR, or Donnin Audio Editor won't.
Simply, the explorer doesn't show the SD folder (external), the problem is that with Google Files or Samsung Files i can access that folder without root access, but donnin requires it, and that's weird because with my old S10 i did that every time, it was such a common action that having it removed now seems unreal, permissions are enabled, SD and phone resetted twice.
Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G, Android 11, One UI 3, not planning to root the phone for now, it's brand new.
P.S. - Sorry for eventual bad english, i'm italian and i'm not using a translator
I personally just think that Android 11 is pretty buggy, or that the apps aren't optimized for this version, but i don't know, hope there's a solution!
I have enabled Work Profile on my Samsung phone using Shelter app.
Recently, I noticed that there is a folder called Chamber (see attachment) in the Work Profile, and I'm unable to delete it. I have tried deleting it in Safe Mode too, but it refuses to get deleted.
I can't delete it from my PC because this is inside the Work Profile, which is inaccessible using a PC.
I don't have this folder on my other devices where I have enabled Work Profile using the same Shelter app.
Does anyone know which app this folder is associated with and how to force delete it?

If it is associated to an app, deleting the folder is pointless unless you uninstall/disable the app that it is associated to, otherwise, it will just keep recreating the folder.

That's true. But it doesn't seem to be associated with any app, or let's say I haven't figured it out yet. I have uninstalled many of the suspected apps in Work Profile, but it continues to remain intact. The folder seems to have been created around the time I installed the Work Profile, and most of the apps that are currently installed were installed much later.

No, it is not. I have Work Profile enabled in two other phones (both running on Android 13), and this folder isn't present in those devices.

If it isn't part of Work Profile and isn't associated to the apps installed in work profile, that only leaves the possibility that it is part of something not installed in Work Profile. You seem to have eliminated all other options, that is all that remains.
The other devices may have the same Android version installed but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are all equal, different devices do different things, even with the same Android version because each manufacturer and carrier puts their own stuff on top of stock android, yeilding different results from one device to the next. It could be something device specific that caused the folder to be created when Work Profile was installed/enabled. Something device specific that doesn't apply to the other devices, if those devices are different than the device you are dealing with.

I don't have another Samsung phone (with Work Profile enabled) to confirm. The other two devices are OnePlus and iQOO. It is not there on Redmi K50i either.
The name of the folder is quite unique. Let's hope someone can confirm if this is indeed a Samsung OneUI thing.

I did various searches pertaining to "chamber" folder, I didn't find a single search result that even mentions a folder by that name or what app or stock feature it may or may not be associated to.
It might be some kind of Samsung security feature to create a separate, secure partition when you installed/enabled Work Profile. Or it may be because of how Samsung handles that kind of app. I could very easily be completely wrong, without familiarity with Work Profile and without finding definitive information or having the device in my own hands to investigate deeper, I can only guess or go with gut instincts tugging at the back of my mind of potential causes

There is no such folder in the Main Profile, so one can safely rule out an association with any system app that automatically got installed in the Work Profile.
There is no such folder inside the Secure Folder too, which is actually very secure. So a security related aspect can be ruled out in my opinion.
.
There is no system app by that name either. At this point, it is a dead end to tracing the source of this (empty) folder.

I don't know, this still feels like it has something to do with Samsung's secure folder feature, whether in the secure folder or not or maybe Knox. Without giving anything away, what is in your secure folder. The fact that it is doing this on your Samsung but not the others is speaking to me. It just feels like something Samsung would do

The Secure Folder on Samsung Galaxy devices is basically a separate user profile (multiple users) with advanced Knox security. I have my banking apps, password manager, authenticators, and other apps installed in it. It is also where I save some important/ private files.
The benefit of Secure Folder (on Samsung Galaxy devices) and Work Profile (on all devices) over other 'multiple users' is the ease of accessing apps in them. Secure Folder and Work Profile are just a special type of multiuser whose apps can be easily launched from the main profile itself. Notifications for apps in these profiles are accessible from the main profile too.
But with all other multiusers, one has to 'exit' the main profile to get into the mulitiuser environment, which takes a few extra seconds. Notifications from the main profile are not accessible in multiuser, and vice-versa.
The Work Profile is a very convenient 'multiuser', which is why I enable it on all my devices. Samsung OneUI has disabled the 'multiuser' feature of Android, so this is another reason why I enabled the Work Profile. On stock Android and also most OEM Android versions, user can setup a maximum of 5 multiusers, in addition to the main profile.
But on Samsung Galaxy devices, user can only have the main profile, Secure Folder and Work Profile (max 3 users). Not sure why Samsung has removed this useful feature. They allowed multiusers in Samsung OneUI 5 Beta, but removed it from the Stable builds for some unknown reasons.
