hello, i have a samsung young 2 (sm-g130m) and i created a custom rom without google apps, in the installation in one part it asks you for a google account, so when it reaches that part the app goes back and I can't skip it ( after end user licence)

Hi and welcome.
I don't know your specific device but by analogy to others I can answer you, because I did the same thing, un googling my dewice by modifying the flash package components.
So, if it doesn't let you skip it, it seems that its not possible to do that, as you have to go through this entire process.
This first "install" sequence, whatever it forces you to do, does also real mandatory configurations.
If you get through it once (with fake credentials or even with a real one if it insists to check it - which would be very unfair by the way) it won't come back and all you have to check is that if it effectively uses google service to connect (like playstore) or not.
On my device I could get rid of EVERY google app and online service, playstore, gmail, youtube and all facebook and tutti quanti. So no credential could be used for this anyway.
I don't know how you managed to make change into your rom. It would be good to tell.
(I mounted the filesystem on linux to delete those big-tech apps.)
Just tell a bit more how you proceeded.

Hello Thanks for the response, i use the ASSAYYED_KITCHEN and the work folder for delete apps i think are useless ( i use assayyed kitchen because i follow a tutorial on youtube )
Hi. I din't know about this one. Will give a try !
Hello, I was trying to move apps and by removing some of these I was able to make the installer not appear, I can now use my rom and my device runs faster!

[Q] ✔HELP✔Android got pattern locked & not even asking GOOGLE ACCOUNT RESET ✔HORRIBLE
I thought i should ask this here as i see some people have suffered this and its some android thing..especially latest version of android like kitkat and lollipop(especially)
The phone is HTC One M8 Eye My elderly Relative actually reset her pattern yesterday (to complex one to prevent misuse by some relative kids) but forgot it later
We know the gmail account and password too but ITS INSANE that even after trying so many patterns (>100), its not giving us any option to reset using google account

Its not even giving us any "forgot password?" option . THIS is so HORRIBLE as we seem to be locked out and Data is important (on phone storage) so we dont want to factory reset
(I have read some(very few) instances of people sharing this horror ...but cant find any solution...its very common with LOLLIPOP (is it?)

We have tried pressing buttons etc, restarting, no such option comes.
Further the fact the data network is on on it and gmail mails are synchronising properly means gmail account logging has no problem either.
The phone is not rooted and completely with stock ROM
I have tried ways to delete the pattern.key file but i think they are not working as phone is not rooted and on default stock recovery
I tried AROMA File Manager, etc.Details
Can anyone please help or give some ideas . Thanks in advance
This seems to too common lately..SO many people complaining and losing their data. What a shame that they cant reset it (atleast i cant found anything till now), even when they have google credentials.. Read that even ADM (Android Device manager) cant unlock it

Looks like google spawned up this more S H I T in LOLLIPOP along with their crap heads-up notification banners,etc
Another One BIG REASON people should not run for UPDATES of the latest **** around.... like zombies running for flesh
Shame on u google.
Morons say that the reset option only works upto Android 4.4
https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/3388218?hl=en
So why the hell they spawned this LOLLIPOP crap? so that people dont have any opportunity ever to get access to their device, if they forget the password/pin/pattern once
PATHETIC
Sometimes you just don't like the size of the items on your screen. If you're lucky, your phone's software has its own DPI changer of sorts, where you can choose among a few different presets, but what if you want more options, or you aren't one of the lucky few with that feature?
Well, this app aims to fix that problem on any Android device running 4.1 or later. There are quite a few apps out there that change your DPI, but this one doesn't actually require root, even if you aren't running Nougat. You will have to reboot if you aren't rooted, but hey, that's better than being around a computer all the time to use ADB, right?
There are instructions in the app for the setup and usage.
IMPORTANT:
- I don't know if this will work on every device running Android 4.1+. I was able to test it on an emulator running 4.1, along with various LG and Samsung devices on Marshmallow and Nougat, but that obviously doesn't include everything. Send some feedback if it isn't working for you, and include your device + Android version.
- Non-root mode requires you to execute a one-time ADB command (unless you uninstall and reinstall the app). From then on, all you'll need is a reboot.
- Avoid setting the DPI below 72. I don't specifically know what happens, but I know Android tools prevent this from happening by default. I will build the limit into this app in a future update.

@ProGuy1 if you can use ADB to change your DPI, that's great! But some people don't know how or don't have constant access to a computer. I figured rebooting would be more convenient than finding a computer with ADB.
Also, devices on 4.3 and above no longer need to reboot, whether rooted or not.
@S. Loranca You can certainly translate it if you want. The source code is on GitHub. Look in `/res/values/strings.xml`.

Thanks for making this! I saw the "Display Size" setting missing on my new Xiaomi phablet; a few apps I tried on the play store failed, but this app works perfectly.
For reasons you'll see soon, I'm removing this project from XDA and closing the thread. If you have the app right now, email me or PM me with any questions.
So I've never seen this happen before but my phone started to delete random apps. At first they were ones I didn't really need so it didn't bother me but then a lot more went missing and when I went to use Paypal it told me that it couldn't work because Google Play Services wasn't on the phone. I had a (soon to be justified) panic attack/flashback to when my friend and I accidentally deleted Google Play Services by mistake and the ****storm we dealt with for two days straight until we were able to track down the correct odin version of her phone's firmware (she had a rare version of Sprint's S3, the Triband one and it was nigh impossible to track down her correct firmware). Any apps that get "deleted" show up in the app drawer/homescreens as having a generic grayed out picture with an "SD" logo on the bottom as if they were sent to SD...but they aren't in the Applications list in settings so I think it's the OS not understanding they're gone and the links still being stuck there.
Questions to you all:
A) Have any of you experienced this random app deleting? Is it a sign my phone's NAND is going bad?
B) Should I just odin the firmware back on and reroot or is there a way to simply to reinsert the correct version of Google Play Store/Services if one of you would kindly provide them (I'm on QG5, newest for G930T)
Thank you!

Bump, nobody else have this issue?
Not here. The only thing I have seen that is similar is when I restarted in safe mode, so all my user apps were disabled. In this case, are the apps deleted or just disabled?

No they were deleted, it was so weird. Again, I wouldn't really be that concerned if it didn't delete something as important as Google Play Services which limited a lot of functionality. I found some Play Services version to have it kind of work while I was in Ireland but things like Location/GPS and many apps wouldn't work right or not at all. It's a real pain in the ass how reliant so many things are on that one service.
I'm doing a full re-image on it now, just hope this was one time thing :-/
I bought 2 Chinese smartphones: One is from a company called "Doogee", and the second is called "BlackView"
The Doogee one came with many weird apps preinstalled, so I installed Malwarebytes, and it detected 2 malwares. Both removed. After a day, Malwarebytes prompted me that a malware app is trying to install itself (one of those I removed!) - So I stopped using this phone. Hopefully did not risk too much of my personal information (passwords, emails, etc).
Meanwhile, the other Chinese phone I ordered has arrived. Knowing about those security issues now, I immediately installed Malwarebytes, and it detected that the Sound Recorder app is a malware, and is actually using data(?):

@TroyGuard I would recommend to search for a custom rom build from source to get rid of that stock spy roms :good:
@TroyGuard
personally I wouldn't use them but as you have bought phones you probably want to.
Though on twitter recently Elliot Alderson (@fs0c131y was asking for such phones to analyse, he'd probably be happy to get one!
So If no custom ROM then you should be able to freeze those apps, system or preinstalled, that are risky or unknown (though they often come back, so freeze normally better). If you read the recent threads you will find links to a number of ways to do this, eg using TWRP, ADB, apps like Debloater etc which may work on those phones
WARNING: be careful freezing system apps, freezing an essential app can make your phone unusable, check online first if in doubt
Change all your passwords after this is done, to be safe.
(though there is still the possibility of a hardware backdoor , but I've not seen any reports of this.)
(Note: you probably won't get automatic OTA updates anymore as the ota updater is often part of the problem, besides you would have to refreeze apps after new install, but might be worth updating manually if it gives you important security patches)
Got this brand new A 32 5g phone. when i try to set it up it says that my organisation can control my device with knox cloud security, it does allow only limited apps via the google play store.
Is there any way to disable this and use your own Samsung account to sign and to restore this from an old backup.
many thanks
PS Just reading about Samsung Frp2020 , will this app help me to bypass
After seeing a youtube video, i have tried the Samsung Frp and use addrom, it allows me to restore from an old back up.
but when i go back it again takes me to the Knox page and asks me to enter my work email address and use ADFS seetings.
can some one help me please.
this is a new phone with no passwords setup currently.
I have done this 3 times and when i dont enter any details in the Knox and keep pressing the back up it gives the option to reset the phone and when i reset the phone i am back at square one.
i have just seen that it has intune security embedded into the phone. it activates when i am setting up the phone from scratch and wants me to add wifi to complete the setup

Microsoft Intune to Bypass MFA
then it takes to the device setup methods which states EMM provider (enterprise mobility management (EMM) provider).
here are some pics for you to have a look.
after taking you the organisation sign in page if you dont put the correct credentials and put any other account detials it doesnot accept this and i have the option to restore the device which sets it back to factory reset.
Hey.
Did you ever find a solution to this?
I have pretty much exactly the same problem with a Samsung Tab S6 Lite and have yet to find a solution that works. Used Odin to flash new firmware and made no difference at all. The Microsoft sign in requirement via Knox Cloud Enrolment is still very much there.
All the articles and software I've found online seem only to relate to bypassing FRP (factory reset prevention) for a Google account.
