I came across this guide that explained how to get a sideloaded apk to work with Android Auto.
It got me thinking, there are always some apps that don't respond well to integrations due to the getInstallerPackageName() method of checking the install source.
Would someone be kind enough to create a module that does this so we do not need to connect our phones to the PC every time we update the APK just for a few apps?
There's no need to connect to your computer (and neither for a Magisk module, really). You should be ably to simply run the command in a Terminal emulator instead (without the ADB shell part).
As Didgeridoohan said and you could try as
Code:
pm set-installer "PACKAGE" "com.android.vending"
Replacing PACKAGE with the package name of app installed already you want to change its installer to Google Play.
Can't you do this in titanium backup by clicking on the app and going to special features tab and clicking attach to market?
This pm set-installer didn't work for me. What did was just installing the package (as root , not sure it's needed) with:
pm install -i "com.android.vending" <apk>
Any ideas how to turn off the stock phone manager app.
Fed up with the annoying messages it gives me about power and background apps. Latest thing is it's warning me about fragmentation and it wants to clean up fragmented files!! I did't even know you could get fragmented files on phones?? Anyway not interested.
I've tried a force stop; turning all notifications settings off, removed write access etc but it won' stop.
if ur on root...just remove phone mangaer apk with titalum app
Not rooted, any other ideas?

You can uninstall, or even better, disable and enable Phone Manager with ADB. APK to look for is com.huawei.systemmanager.
Get into ADB Shell and use this commands:
To Disable:
pm disable-user --user 0 com.huawei.systemmanager
To Enable again:
pm enable --user 0 com.huawei.systemmanager
You don't need root.
bear in mind that this disables battery settings
As we have unlocked bootloader on FiteTV 4K stick now, I made Magisk module, which disables OTA updates, and also includes some Google stuff:
Google Search for TV (2.2 or 3.13) with working Voice Input,
LeanbackOnFire (rockon999) Launcher - support Google Search and Android TV Recommendations,
Screen Rotation - allow set proper orientation for mobile Apps,
[*]Buttons Remapper - allow choose Keyboard, reassign Home, switch between Apps and many more,
[*]FireTVjack - allow reassign Home, set Language, and freeze stock KFTV Launcher,
LeanKey Keyboard Pro (it have multilingual support).
Module also adds Russian language instead Portuguese (and Ukrainian instead Japanese) to FireTV Settings menu and have Russian Settings translation over android resources overlays (must be compatible with future OTA updates).
AFTV Add-Ons (Magisk Module) v20201218 (Fire OS 6.2.7.6 compatible)
Previous:
=======
GDrive (All files)
Tested on Fire TV 4K with FireOS 6.2.6.5 / 6.2.6.6 / 6.2.6.8 / 6.2.7.1 / 6.2.7.3 / 6.2.7.6 and Magisk 20.1-4/21.0. Still under development.
How to install:
===========
- Unlock FireTV bootloader.
- Install Magisk (stable) via TWRP!
* don't ever do install / update Magisk over Magisk Manager on Fire TV 4K!
- Boot to Fire OS and pass Amazon Registration screen
- Check and install all current OS / Apps update in My Fire TV Settings section
- Reboot to TWRP Recovery and install / update module (AFTV-MM-2.0.zip)
* "adb shell reboot recovery" over adb or connect OTG cable with mouse and select Cancel on Power ON
How to update:
===========
Just add new module version in Modules section of Magisk Manager (+) and press Reboot button after.
You need to wait till autorestart on first boot after module update (implemented from v1.8 +).
To freeze stock Amazon launcher:
==========================
adb connect FireTV IP (allow connection on TV)
adb shell
su
settings put global frozenMode enabled
reboot
* KFTV Launcher will be auto-frozen if you'll enable AFTV-XM Xposed Module in Xposed Installer (Modules tab) and have any user launcher installed.
To choose LeanbackOnFire as default Home:
============================
- Install Xposed Framework from Magisk Manager
- Open Xposed Installer - Modules tab and activate AFTV-XM Module
- Reboot
To enable Android TV Recommendations:
================================
- Go to LeanbackOnFire Launcher Settings / Edit Apps Rows / Edit Rows and enable Recommendations Row there
* in case there is toast about needed permissions, do over adb:
adb connect FireTV IP (allow connection on TV)
adb shell
su (grant root access on TV)
pm grant com.amazon.tv.leanbacklauncher android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
pm disable com.amazon.device.sale.service
reboot
Optional packages to disable:
=============================
pm disable com.amazon.ags.app
pm disable com.amazon.alexashopping
pm disable com.amazon.bueller.music
pm disable com.amazon.bueller.photos # (used for screensaver)
pm disable com.amazon.device.metrics
pm disable com.amazon.device.sale.service # (must be disabled in case LeanbackOnFire recommendations are ON)
pm disable com.amazon.device.software.ota
pm disable com.amazon.device.software.ota.override
pm disable com.amazon.firebat
pm disable com.amazon.hedwig
pm disable com.amazon.tahoe
pm disable com.amazon.tv.alexanotifications
pm disable com.amazon.tv.fw.metrics
pm disable com.amazon.wirelessmetrics.service
pm disable com.android.documentsui
...
GSearch
=======
You can use Voice Input in ATV apps (press on-screen mic and long-press mic on remote and speak)
You can assign ASSIST (keycode 219) in Xposed Edge Pro or other remapper apps to Voice remote button
===
P.S. In case something went wrong You can always do factory reset, remove Module or uninstall / reinstall Magisk and your system will back to full stock - no files in /system partition changed by module.
Have Fun!

Thanks very much, I'm wondering if you could help me, I've rooted my 4k stick but the stick won't go past setup screen as I think it's been blocked by Amazon, is there any chance you could upload a TWRP backup for me to restore in TWRP so I can get into my home screen ? Or you wouldn't know any commands I can use in TWRP terminal ?
I'd love to get this up and running along with this lot what you have done.
Thanks.
Awesome project! Thanks for the hard work, will defo be installing this once i get time to root
Be careful with this .... I had UI restart issues .... had to uninstall
Doesn't work properly for me. Seems to install fine, but nothing happens.

I've updated module and instructions how to setup. Read 1st post.
Thanks. Will try this tomorrow.
Thanks, installed and working without any discernable issues as of yet. I'll update if I see anything.
For anyone interested in debug options: you can enable KFTV Launcher Debug menu (accessible via HUD).
To enable:
- Install MagiskHide Props Config module from repo
- Install busybox module from repo
- Reboot and override those options with props command via shell:
ro.debuggable=0 to ro.debuggable=1
ro.build.type=user to ro.build.type=userdebug
Have fun!

Great job. I'm a bit scared cause I dont want to be forced to factory reset if something goes wrong but this weekend I could try nonetheless. Any chance to have Chromecast support (Shield like) and/or Google services?
Thanks.
The pm grant com.amazon.fireh1jack android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW command is not working for me, it gives me a huge list on how to execute pm commands correctly.

Probably no. There is something weird with fw when placing privileged apps to /system/priv-app. I tried current 7.1 tvstock opengapps package as a module, and it doesn't work (except google search)
@tsynik I cannot get this to work, i unlock bootloader, boot to twrp, install rbox rom then magisk 20.0 reboot to setup then reboot to twrp install your zip file then the commands in your guide wont work.
I am connected to my stick with adb and su but no joy.

Can anyone help me to get this working ?
So, I was going through and removing bloat from my phone and was trying to remove the Samsung Contacts app through `adb`, but apparently I removed the wrong thing and now the Phone, Messages, and Contacts app are crashing every time I try to open them. I removed "package:/system/priv-app/SamsungContactsProvider/SamsungContactsProvider.apk=com.samsung.android.providers.contacts" which is apparently a core service. I'm wondering if anyone might know how I could reinstall that APK?
install this apk should solve the problem
If worse comes to worse a factory reset will.
A lot of the bloatware is useful. I prefer to use a package disabler as I can easily toggle them on or off as needed real time.

It sat for a minute trying to install and then came up with, "App not installed" and says that every time I retry.
Trying install via adb I get: "
Performing Streamed Install
adb: failed to install /home/mhicks/Downloads/SamsungContactsProvider.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION: Package com.samsung.android.providers.contacts attempting to redeclare permission android.permission.SEND_CALL_LOG_CHANGE already owned by com.android.providers.contacts]"
Hmmm, perhaps I should remove Google Contacts first...
Okay, that helped, but now I'm getting: "
Performing Streamed Install
adb: failed to install /home/mhicks/Downloads/SamsungContactsProvider.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE]"
I thought deleting the "com.samsung.android.providers.contacts" might solve the problem, but trying gave me: "
./adb -d uninstall com.samsung.android.providers.contacts
Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]"

try these commands on pc
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.samsung.android.providers.contacts
adb shell pm install -r --user 0 /system/priv-app/SamsungContactsProvider/SamsungContactsProvider.apk
The first command returns: "Package com.samsung.android.providers.contacts installed for user: 0", but the second command returns: "Failure [-3001: INSTALL_FAILED_REJECTED_BY_BUILDTYPE]"
If you have deleted the apk with root you just have to paste it again in the folder /system/priv-app/SamsungContactsProvider

It is somewhat complicated to recover the device without wipe in the past I had these problems, it was solved with a higher version of the application
@rtd4, I suppose it's time for a wipe... Thanks for trying to help me.
If you had made a copy of all your apps including system apks with ApkExport you could now use that copy to restore it.
Now before you factory reset make a copy of your installed apps and any system updates then save it on the PC or SD card. After the reload you won't need Playstore. It speeds things up a lot...
APK Export (Backup & Share) - Apps on Google Play
Manage and extract your apps.
play.google.com
@blackhawk, thanks for the tip. Right now, I'm trying to set up a Telegram account so I can root my phone (US version) if I'm going to go through the trouble of wiping. Unfortunately, Telegram's SMS verification appears to be broken or at least doesn't like Mint Mobile... Fun day.

You're welcome.
You really don't need to root.
Consider the possible consequences carefully.
Package Disabler will easily block apks you don't want running.
Well, it would appear it's moot anyway since I'm at Baseband v4 and only v1 can be rooted apparently...

This is the one I use:
Home - Package Disabler
The only NON-root solution that let’s you disable any unwanted packages that come pre-installed / installed with your phone / tablet.
www.packagedisabler.com
It has an interactive widget that allows you to toggle selected entries on/off. It runs even in Safe mode so be careful what you disable. I've never had to do a factory reset because of it but the potential is there.
Unfortunately it no longer disables Google play Services but will disable all carrier bloatware including OTA updates.

Then how come you have removed apk from system?
In case you have used command like
pm disable packageName . Then try pm enable packageName
Or
If you have used
pm hide packageName then try
pm unhide packageName

Hi, can this help you youtube
As of now, this is where we're up to:
1. we can now enable and use USB ADB to sideload apps
2. we can now re-enable Wireless ADB via sideloading a an wireless ADB enabling package
3. we can now replace the system Package Manager with an alternate unrestricted Package Manager
4. we can now install apps via native (or alternate) file manager using alternate-unrestricted Package Manager
Are people aware of this? or are instructions of this yet to be published on XDA?

Is this possible with every Android OEM head unit, like GM Mylink?
Thank you.
Bro, you need to open the box under the console on the passenger side. and you will see Android head just like SOFO888 said.
then you need to remove the thick black sticker and you will see a micro USB slot. with that slot, you can adb sideload apk. that is.

yeah, your headlights are on. so the screen will only go to "night time" brightness. Day time brightness is so bright at night it's a safety hazard! Because during the day, the screen has to be bright enough it can beat the SUN!
so check if your headlights are set to "on" and change it to "auto" or "off" to get the android screen brighter.
