Read-only file from EMUI 12 update on Huawei P20 - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
Since the last update from EMUI 10 to EMUI 12, I find using my P 20 very unpleasant.
For months, I transferred my Keepass file from my pc to a cloud on which allowed me to recover it on my smartphone.
Since the update, I just discovered that my file is read-only and I need to move it to another location. Why ?
I can't even choose location and organization on MY phone.
Similarly, some applications can no longer be deactivated or uninstalled (yes parental control when you're alone is not really useful or the cloud when you want to keep your files on your phone) not to mention the hundreds of connections per day to clouds in China and Russia.
It is very worrying!
I imagine that if my bluetooth no longer works it's because the files can no longer go through the Chinese or Russian cloud?
Has anyone had this read-only file problem and found a solution?
Thank you for your help.

I try it, but universal-android-debloater can't do anything either.
issue #51 com.huawei.parentcontrol can't be uninstalled/disabled finds that you have to be root to uninstall it.
It should be the same for the others.
I think Huawei shot itself in the foot, not only do they no longer have Android but by tightening the bloating software and preventing rooting, the brand loses its appeal.
I especially don't want to switch to Harmony Os.
They have more to lose than to gain...
Any idea for read-only files in my home folder?

Hi guys
There's a TWRP and LineageOS for Oppo R11 / R11 plus, so I think it's a matter of short time.
http://bbs.zhiyoo.com/thread-13493628-1-1.html
I want to buy this phone, so could any of the users write, how does the battery, camera, processor work?
I will be grateful
I have the R11s Plus. The screen and build are great, but the software realy sucks. I wish this phone had the OnePlus 5T software, both phones looks the same.
I uninstalled the original Launcher and was able to install the new launcher

Hi Lusorocaba,
that's brilliant! Thank you very much!
Would you please provide a bit more info how you uninstalled current launcher and which launcher you installed.
Please provide exact commands with launcher names.
It would really help, because I am not sure what is the full name of the current launcher at R11s.
After you uninstalled old launcher, how did you het new launcher? From Google Play?..
Thank you very much in advance!

Can't ADB uninstall bloatware apps

I just purchased a Note10+. I tried to delete the bloatware using platform tools on linux. I am unable to do this. I am entering adb uninstall -k and then the package. I get an error saying the -k function can't work because it can't delete the data. It mentions doing an ADB shell which I have no idea how to do. Any suggestions as to what will work to delete the bloatware. I used this command on my Note9 and it worked then. Please advise.
Follow the tutorial/thread over at S10 forum. Worked fine for me
The general command is as follows:
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name>
As an example:
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.spage
The complete for adb packages for the Note 9 is here,and it worked for my Note 10+
Give it a read and see if it helps.

How to uninstall google apps

Is it possible to uninstall all google apps (chrome, google play, gmail ...) from Honor 20 Lite?
Activate the developer tools on your phone and connect via adb (no root needed).
You can list all installed packages with:
Code:
pm list packages
Now you can delete a packes with:
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 PACKAGENAME
For Gmail:
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.gm
Careful. You must not delete all apps. Some are important for the system.

Sprint V50 in Europe?

Hey there, if I import Sprint version from Ebay will I be able to use it in Europe without any problems? Because I heard that some problems may occur:
1. It cannot be updated either by OTA, or manually?
2. This is the most concerning problem - I heard there is a problem with the mobile internet(data) that it's not always working, is that true and is it possible to be fixed?
3. If i get the Sprint version is it possible to rebrand it to Global or Korean version?
4. Is there a secure way to remove the Activation notice after each reboot?
Thanks in advance for your asnwers!
No one knows?

1) I bought a sprint unlocked LG V50 5G from Amazon. It was a brand new device with a factory sealed box. I was able to use the device with my local service provider here in Canada. It came with Android 10 out of the box and I was able to update through OTA for Aug 2020 security patch.
2) I am able to make calls, receive calls, send and receive texts and connect to data. I am not able to send and receive MMS. Also the internet speed is not great, could be related to band compatibility. I am not crazy for internet speeds. I am okay as long as it connects to internet. So, I am good here.
3) As far as I know, it is not possible to re-brand it. Might be possible in the future.
4) I have seen threads in XDA which seems to work in removing activation notice. I didn't bother to do it. It doesn't bother me. It occurs only when the device is restarted.
Generally, I find the phone really good and value for money given the low prices.

I bought.mine from eBay and I am using it in Sweden. After a few minutes of setting it up the first time, I got a notification to update. I successfully updated by OTA to the August security patch without hiccups.
I was able to remove the sprint activation nonsense at the beginning by uninstalling all sprint apps through adb. One of them uninstalled the LG messaging app. I don't care though since I don't use it.
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lookout
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coremobility.app.vnotes
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sprint.w.installer
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sprint.ms.cdm
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sprint.zone
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sprint.ecid
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sprint.extension
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sprint.care
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sprint.ce.updater
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.sprintnativewfc.smf

I am using LG v50 Sprint phone in Vietnam. Everything is working properly, there are some junk apps on your phone and you can temporarily remove them with adb.
Nice guys! Thank you very much for your help. And do you have any issues with mobile data (LTE mostly) in your countries, because that's one of my biggest concerns.
LTE mobile network used normally in Vietnam.

Easy way to remove Indian specific software (Cloud, Redcable, etc.) from Indian 8T?

Hello,
is there an easy way to remove Indian software and notifications from an Indian 8T?
I have this "Login with OnePlus account" in Settings that I don't want to use for instance.
Thanks for your advice,
Nicolas.
Nice, I've managed to remove Cloud, Red Cable Club and the "Login with OnePlus account" in Settings without rooting by executing:
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.oneplus.membership
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.heytap.cloud
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.heytap.openid
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.heytap.mcs
Then rebooting.
