    How do I permanently remove disabled apps?

    Facebook, and DirectTV should be ok to remove, no guarantee that they are. I'm not sure how intertwined any Google apps are with each other. ADB would require a PC. I am not sure if you can do it via Linux, but Windows, and I think Apple can.

    Question Android Auto Drive Mode

    Mod note: I altered the title of your thread because when I clicked on the thread, I thought this was a question of Google's cloud storage called Drive. As far as the question itself: I've never choose Drive Mode. I just plug in, and my head unit automatically goes into Android Auto, and I just...

    Question Can I talk about my Android apps here?

    Welcome to the forums. You can talk about it. Linking to outside websites is frowned upon. The overall idea doesn't sound bad, but I think that idea may be outside the scope of most of our user base.

    Question Hi everyone! I need some help with a Sony Xperia Z Ultra (C6833) that won’t boot properly. When powered on, the SONY logo appears, then the screen sta

    If the phone won't get past the boot screen, I'm wondering if the battery is so degraded that it can't stay on anymore. It was released in 2013. The battery having gone bad is not that far-fetched. If the battery has gone bad, and you tried flashing any firmware to it, the flashing process has...

    clunky answering a call

    I haven't paid attention for a while, but if it's a swipe, there used to be an animation as to clue what to do.

    T-Mobile getting rid of Jump on Demand

    A little off topic....but it seems kind of odd to have an acronym within an acronym? Just Upgrade My Phone (JUMP) JUMP On Demand (JOD).

    Obscure OEMs

    In jest, I wanted to say the first page of Temu...lol Seriously, Redmi is the only one I can think of. Although I am sure that @B. Diddy has a list as long as his robotic arm.

    Question 8" Tablet for reading

    I was just looking at this last night. I did at least want to make that known to the OP so they weren't blind sided by Google not being there.

    Question 8" Tablet for reading

    I have a Fire 8" and I got it for reading Play books on a larger screen. (I am doing this through the browser, since Amazon doesn't have Google Play App support). They're pretty cheap...about $70.

    Question Hacked android question

    As for the PC..personally, I would change all my passwords on a different device, backup any files that I don't want to lose (I do a monthly backup anyway... for me that would make me redo it even if it was done a couple days prior), and do a full reset and NOT KEEP FILES.

    (Solved)Notification Icons in Notification Bar Won't go Away

    You could try editing the screenshot so the icons are no longer there, and then setting the picture again. I think it will still be on a black background? I can't remember....Over the past several years, the stock photos for wallpapers have been good enough for me that I haven't set a custom...

    Question Secure folder not secure what to do?

    What device do you have? Your profile has blanket access to all apps. You could create a separate profile for this Twitter account, and move the pictures to the other account. You'd probably have to do it via cloud downloads.
