Disable Digital Balance

Hi,
How is it possible to disable the new Emui 9 feature "Digital Balance"?
For some people i know it can be very important, but honestly i don't like my application usage being analised, tracked and displayed.
Already searched everywhere but with no success.
Cheers,

Here you can disable it. That toggle turn it off

But there are still Trackings.
How can ich disable Tracking-Schutz?

Someone knows?
What is the module, the. apk, for Digital Balance? I want disable-it whith ADB why the process is running in background and i dont want that. Thank you

Thank you so much! Go test it Yes, works! Fine!

If you download Link2SD from the appstore you can see the name off every app on your Phone. Goodluck

:good:

Apps-->Apps(again)-->More(the three dots in the top right corner)-->Special access-->Access to user information-->More(again)-->Show system processes-->Digital balance. And then you just turn it off
This is my translation from norwegian, so the words might be a bit different on your device. Still hope this helps tho

Hi, I just got the app but it doesn't show anything to do with turning it off. Does it only work if it is on your own phone and not on the screen time classed as your child's phone.
Does it only work on the P20 Pro because I have the P20.
Thanks.

no possible disable ???? no works here

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.parentcontrol
Via adb and you're done.

latest beta 9.1.0 blocked third party launcher

adb pm uninstall --user 0
this doesnt work on com.huawei.android.launcher anymore.
damn it.

i really domt understand the logic of disabling 3rd party launcher.

Actually I haven't got the 9.1 beta on my phone (still waiting for that), but when I had P20P I had the same problem with it.
I can't remember how I solved the 3rd party launcher problem, but I remember that I had found a solution.
As far as I remember, you can use 3rd party launcher if you have security set on the lock screen. Password or fingerprint etc.
Am I wrong?

I have seen an article speaking about that, it concerns only Chinese model, yes you could use ADB before as a workaround but they said that Huawei block everything now ( global version of the phone is not concerned about that)
https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=i&s...aw0i-S8BAoyyV8mvV7d-5Cks&ust=1556880999379308

I'm sure that all of these restrictions for the Beta versions only.
The Beta is for testing purposes not for normal daily use!
The people use 3rd party launcher, they not testing the Huawei's one and at any problems probably send fake issue reports because of the 3rd party apps.

you can apply for beta via HiCare. which is huawei tech support app.
just so you know. 9.1beta doesnt block 3rdparties. only patch02 did.
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.android.launcher used to do the trick before 91betapatch02.

DeX not working after Debloat

Hello there, just as the title says, I ran the Note 9's "safe" debloat ADB commands from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73894621&postcount=23
Now, I'm not implying these are not safe, they went fine for me in the past (same phone) but now DeX is not working anymore.
Now I'm stuck at the "Samsung DeX is getting ready to start. Tap Start now on your phone.".
I tap Start now in my phone and nothing happens.
Is there a list of the needed com.samsung services or essential requirement for DeX to work? or any advice.
EDIT: Also I'm seeing a "Text too long" pop up a few times (in my phone desktop, not the notification bar) while waiting for DeX to start.
Thank you.

i would re-enable all of the apps you disabled in batch's of five, and keep trying Dex until it works again. Eventually you will end up with a list of 5 potential apps that are the problem. then you can go through one by one disabling that list of 5 to find out witch app/s are required. then you can re-debloat afterwards.

How Did u re-enable these ? My Samsung Dex to PC doesnt work.

I'm not at home right now, but I don't want to ignore you either:
I thought that same guide had how to reactivate apps but just checked and no. It's a similar command but can't say right now.
Another Debloat guide just like that had how to re-enable each deactivated app. Since apps are not deleted, just deactivated, nothing will be lost or damaged forever.
Again,when I searched how to Debloat my Note9, I ended up in two different but similar XDA guides, I combined both, but the one linked in OP has much more lines, which means a deeper Debloat. It doesn't says how to reactivate tough.

i presume you already found how to reactivate them, but heres my two cents:
i use adb shell to get into the phone's shell, then pm uninstall --user 0 <package name> to deactivate, and pm install-existing --user 0 <package name>
its basically switching uninstall to install-existing

Any way to force enable 90Hz?

Hello
I recently got a Realme X2 Pro and I am very happy with it.
However, I have an issue with the screen 90Hz setting. I use Samsung internet browser and I can't get it to use the 90Hz setting, with the UFO test I get 60Hz, I tried other browsers (Brave, Chrome beta, etc) and all of them are in 60Hz mode. Only Chrome gets the 90Hz mode correctly.
I checked the 90Hz setting and they are enabled in the app list.
I am wondering if there is a way to force enable 90Hz as it's possible on the OnePlus 7 Pro (via ADB command)
Many thanks for any support

I don't think so, as despite it being a 90Hz panel Realme have put a severe limit on it; they do not enable it on any game which was a bit of a disappointment

Thank you. I hope realme adds a option to force enable 90Hz in all cases or some hack like the one on OnePlus is found.
I enjoy 90Hz but it not working on one of the most used apps (browser) is a bummer.

There are a few browsers that support 90hz like Chrome and Opera, sadly my most used one Kiwi doesn't.

Minecraft and the Chinese pubgm work in 90hz so it's not all games... I don't think this is Realme blocking them but the game developers.

With the Samsung browser, 90Hz only works on the settings screen :laugh: but not on webpages, in which it switches back to 60Hz. Opera does indeed use it on webpages, but its scrolling is so laggy that it's difficult to notice it LOL, while the Samsung browser has the smoothest scrolling and it would benefit the most.
Any other app also seems to use 90Hz, but it seems Asphalt 9 doesn't.
I am curious if the Android 10 update will change something, as I can't try the betas.

Then I hope some command or hack to always enable 90Hz as it's possible on OnePlus, surfaces (I tried it for the lulz but it returns an error)
It's a shame that one of the apps I use most can't benefit from 90Hz

I have a trick.
1) Use any app that runs at 90Hz
2) Launch It in split Windows Mode
3) Now launch Samsung Browser in the botton of the splitwindow (as the second app)
4) Now move the split line up yo asign more space to Samsung Browser.
5) Now move totally Up the split line, making Samsung Browser the only app visible...and voila!!! It is running at 90Hz.
The process is quick as soon you make rutine...but the problem is you need to do several time (each time you change the application).

Can't somebody develop a hack (similar to OnePlus) on the basis of that workaround?

OnePlus has a hidden option to force 90hz and that's how the hack enables... Not sure our device will have any hidden settings to enable this.

Ok this might be a start

This uses pretty much the same method the OnePlus 7t but for the S20 ultra... I don't have access to ADB at the minute.
If anyone with ADB would like to test and use these commands?
adb shell settings put secure refresh_rate_mode 0
adb shell settings put secure refresh_rate_mode 1
adb shell settings put secure refresh_rate_mode 2
Might need the global tag
adb shell settings put global screen_refresh_rate 0
adb shell settings put global screen_refresh_rate 1
adb shell settings put global screen_refresh_rate 2

adb shell settings put global oneplus_screen_refresh_rate 0
Even tried changing "oneplus_screen_refresh_rate" to "realme_screen_refresh_rate" or "oppo_screen_refresh_rate" but it's still hopeless!
Still the phone works without any difference (I've rebooted just in case)

Question Disable Google home news (left swipe home screen)

I don,t know how to really call it, but how to disable the Google news feed on the swipe left home?
Another problem is sending a contact shortcut to the homescreen. it says its already there bu its not.

If you do not like the UI change it or get rid of the mobile. For you it is horrible but for most of users not. It is a matter of taste.
Good luck with it.

Thx, very helpful

use a third party launcher to get rid of google page (lawnchair launcher 2,nova launcher)
and make sure you haven't locked homescreen when adding contact shortcut

I accidentally found a way to remove the Google feed.
I tried installing 'Breeno feed' from APK mirror. The phone required rebooting before it appeared on the left of my homescreen.
Most of the features didn't work properly, probably due to my phone being from the UK. So I uninstalled it (on app menu shows as 'Quick Glance').
After uninstalling it, Google feed no longer appears on my home screen, in fact I can't swipe left at all now
It stayed gone after a reboot and hopefully won't cause any issues.
Just thought I'd share this info and hope it can help someone.

After another reboot today Google feed reappeared..
So I just quickly repeated the steps and it's gone again. I guess it doesn't remain after a reboot.

Hi I've upgraded to this phone today from my find X2 pro and I saw this thread so I extracted the Smart Assistant apk from the find x2 installed it on the find x3 and it works fine but you only get weather, calendar and step counter features with my apk I've attached below if any of you want it.
Edit: there's a bug with weather not updating but otherwise it's better than having google on it I guess
Install apk and reboot.

Yh it doesn't update for me either I'll have to let people know that

There is another solution for disabling it completely which was shared by wedaxi on reddit:
Hello, maybe it's late to leave an answer but this is how I removed the google feed completely from the home screen.
You need to enable developer tools on your phone: https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options
Download Android Studio on your computer (this is the easiest way to install adb wich you will need, but you can search how to install adb independently)
Connect your phone to the computer with usb cable (you can also connect the phone wirelessly but the cable is the easiest method https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb)
Once you are connected use this command from the computer console to disable google feed app
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
This only disables the app, it does not uninstall it, to do that you probably need to root the phone and I just don't recommend it.
I'm sorry if this method is not the easiest, this is what I did after not finding any other solution and It works.
However the Goolge-App and Lens won't work afterwards!

Hey there,
I found a way to "disable" the Google feed without installing another launcher.
If you hide the Google App in the Privacy Settings, when you swipe left, nothing happens. The icon at the bottom which indicates how many pages there are is still visible but honestly it doesn't bother me much.
Hopefully, Oppo will add the option to hide the Google Feed page.
Cheers
