Essential Layout Whitelist Editor

This is an app made by a reddit user to manage the ESSENTIAL_LAYOUT_WHITELIST setting.
You can use this app to only whitelist apps that you need, instead of whitelisting all apps.
Note that you will still need ADB to grant permission to this app:
adb shell pm grant in.tsdo.elw android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
You only need to do this once, then you can use the app normally.
This app only shows user apps. Please do give feedback if you find any system app that behaves differently than it was.

This is now on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.tsdo.elw
But you still MUST run that permissions code in ADB.

I was wondering when will this get posted here since I can't post link.
But, just a heads up: the old package name got suspended by google. So the package name changed, and the ADB command should change correspondingly.
Code:
adb shell pm grant in.tsdo.elw android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

I updated the OP with this :good:

This is great !! Is there a reason why essential didn't do this out of the box?

How'd you guys get ADB drivers to work. I can't locate any that'll work for some reason. Could be my current adb drivers are messing with it. It works fine for my LG and Samsung phones but my adb won't show the Essential phone...

Assuming you're on Windows, reboot with driver signing disabled and force update drivers to the one Google distributes with the sdk.

I got some universal ones to work. However, now my issue is that the authorize PC pop up doesn't actually pop up when I connect. I've google and none of the solutions worked... I just want to swap out the app switcher and back buttons... :T

The older minimal adb packages won't work, and the failures look like driver issues.
Get the new adb and try again.

I got it working now. Just had to use another PC.

this app worked perfectly! Love it when it's using the extra room! Thanks for the help!

So, my question. Since I did the whitelist all (with the *) what's the remove command for that line? so that I can actually use this selective whitelist?

Uploading the new list will over write the existing values.
If you want return the value to stock use,
adb shell settings delete global ESSENTIAL_LAYOUT_WHITELIST

After you guys changed permissions, did you get the OTA update no problem? Did the hack stick or did you need to reapply the shell command?

I did the mods via ADB and they have stuck after the upgrade, either that or Essential has added apps to their whitelist as part of this upgrade.

Thank you so much for this easy way to whitelist without having to wait for Essential!!
Curious what other apps you all have white-listed to full screen (I have only done Nova Prime) with good results...

Thank you!

I whitelisted Nova, Textra, calander and instapaper. Thinking of switching to the global whitelist, but haven't done that yet.

This is so much nicer than fighting with the ADB permissions. I kept missing an app here or there editing it manually. Thank you brilliant lovely folks.

A few apps don't work properly. Personally I would just use this app and select all by default, then turn off any apps that you notice has glitches as you see them.

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.

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.

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.

I thought that interesting. Anyway, I tried a search for com.huawei.android.hwouccls on my phone from what was listed as \ and found nothing. So I have no idea what to list as the size. And then there will be the syntax to do so.
I hate having to be so needy. Since I stopped rooting and using custom ROMS, my skills have seriously rusted.

I should add that I searched for com.huawei.android.hwouccls with App Inspector as mentioned in your link, and don't find it. My phone is not rooted...maybe that has something to do with that.

Is it possible to return s10e to bone stock state after root/TWRP/lineageOS install?

I remember I was able to do this previously on some galaxy phones/tablets I owned, by flashing stock recovery and factory resetting the phone.
I ask because I was given brand new s10e by my company and I am a no-gapps lineage user currently. I wish to retain such a setup, but I am afraid of tampering with the phone and possibly being charged money if/when I decide to leave the company in the future?
By bone stock I mean to exactly the same state as when I received it- stock system, stock recovery, nothing noticably different? Or how far can I get, at least?
Thank you in advance for any guidance

Depending on your model, you might not even be able to do what you want.
But i see no reason to worry if you can by using Odin and correct firmware after.
But there can be issues such as Snapdragons not exceeding 80% charge (if you even can unlock the bootloader).
Chances are you have to keep it stock and ADB out the apps you don't like.
The phone is going to work better without Lineage unless i've missed that volte is now a go.

Hi!
I forgot to mention the model- its sm-g970f (exynos)
Can I remove google and samsung apps with adb and return them later without compromising the android system? Do you know of any good guide on how to do this?

As far as I understand you will trip Knox irreversibly if you unlock the bootloader. Hence you cannot get back anymore. The closest you can get to your needs is by disabling most Google and Samsung apps by ADB and install a theme that mimics AOSP. Then, a factory reset will get your device back to its original state. Check https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s10/how-to/galaxy-s10-s10-debloat-bloatware-t3912073/page40 for more info.

You can disable any app, including systems apps WITHOUT root by following this guide.
First, make a make a backup list of all your currently installed apps via ADB:
adb shell pm list packages -f >C:\AppList.txt
For example, let's "uninstall" the Samsung Smart Switch app which can be found in the above AppList.txt file as
/system/preload/SmartSwitch/SmartSwitch.apk=com.sec.android.easyMover
Sometimes the app's name matches the package/file name perfectly, sometimes they are a little different and takes a bit of guessing.
The package name of the Samsung Smart Switch app is "com.sec.android.easyMover", with its path and file name "/system/preload/SmartSwitch/SmartSwitch.apk", as you can see at least the path and file name contains the name of the app.
To disable it via the "uninstall" command, enter:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package_name>
Example:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sec.android.easyMover
OR
adb shell cmd package uninstall -k --user 0 com.sec.android.easyMover
Now, to re-enable the above "uninstalled" apps or any other specific one without a factory reset, simply copy and paste the app's package name from the AppList.txt into this command:
adb shell cmd package install-existing <package_name>
Example:
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.sec.android.easyMover
Simple as that!

The cp step isn't necessary. It will install just fine from download folder and afterwards can be uninstalled.
But thanks a lot for finding / creating this version.
How did you get this com.vivo.abe version? Is it an old version or did you change the manifest and recompile?
We really would need com.vivo.pushservices to be uninstalled. That is much more of a spyware nightmare and up to double the battery drain.
I don't think if we decomple/change/recompile and sign an apk the digital signature will be accpeted?
Edit: i have uploaded the current com.vivo.pushservices here:
Excessive Idle drain / general battery drain

you can't fake signature, so finding right version is only the way
this com.vivo.abe is from my vivo y31 6.7.20 (JAN 2022)

Oh too bad. I had looked for older com.vivo.abe from apkmirror or similar but either they would not install or they would not uninstall. Only gave 2 versions a try however.
I had expected it so after decompiling and recompiling. Could you check for com.vivo.pushservices on the Y31 and if it can be uninstalled? I tried plently of (old) versions from download sites and had no success.
That app is responsible for uploading personal data to China, and constant wakelocks/lots of surveillance. com.vivo.abe is the much lesser evil.
Also though after removal of com.vivo.devicereg shizuku isn't killed - Icebox and my android tools don't work with shizuku on my X90PP. So I cannot use icebox to freeze the spyware. Maybe on other Vivo phones icebox runs fine?
Actually removing "android" would be a great thing too, as it would stop the grouping of apps toigether so you don't know what each app is doing. It only acts like a container (not to by confused withd com.android - there is a package with plain package name "android"). However if it is removed the phone UI reboots and it comes right back. I'm a bit scared of disabling it because that may cause a bootloop? I have seen some tutorials mentioning removing it.

"android" is system app which only have data like status bar paddings, strings, colors etc, there's no code at all,

Ah thanks, too bad I get the you have an older version of this app please uninstall first... So doesn't work.
Yeah I noticed with android disabled I don't get any battery stats at all. It's a mess they bundle a lot of non core apps/services into it so you cannot debug wakelocks properly.
