I'm trying to run com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity as a solution to the following...

Moto C Plus phone suddenly turns off while in pocket. Turned it on. Turns back off. Plugged it to charger. Battery at %17...hmmm weird.

Phone turns on but now I see...

1. The icon size went to default from the small that I'd set it at. The screen time out went to 30 secs from the 2 mins it was set to.

2. The keyboard went to the phone's default keyboard from the one I'd installed.

3. The home and recent buttons - although they are registering the touch - are not doing anything when I press them.

4. The back button is working and is now the only way I can exit the current screen.

5. The screen lock pattern doesn't come on.

6. The notification bar cannot fully be pulled down.

7. The developer option now says "Developer options are not available for this user". Pressing Build 7 times doesn't activate it.

I came across https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38464573/developer-options-not-available-for-this-user-marshmallow (first answer) as a solution in a couple of places. The solution they say is to basically run com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity through NovaLauncher. But the problem is, I'm not seeing SetupWizardTestActivity where it's supposed to be. I'm guessing perhaps it's because I'm rooted?

So now I'm looking for another way to run it from the phone (because I can't connect the phone to a computer because the data pins in the charger port are missing from a botched charger port replacement job).

I came across https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/re-run-setup-wizard.3527414/ as a way to run SetupWizardTestActivity without NovaLauncher. It's...

1. adb shell su pm enable com.google.android.setupwizard/com.google.android.setupwizard.SetupWizardActivity

2. adb shell settings put secure user_setup_complete 0

The first command is case sensitive (SetupWizardActivity)

However, I'm not sure if the above is to be done through a computer or on the phone. If it's through the phone then i need a little help as how to exactly do it.

I'd REALLY appreciate if anyone can guide me through this in layman's terms. A simple step by step on how to go about accomplishing this would be hugely appreciated. Emphasis on "layman's"

Thanks in advance!

This is a Color OS bug with Android 11. Me too facing this since a few days so can confirm.

My close relative have a phone which have both Hangouts and Chat installed. Chat does not have integrated Voice and Video call function. IMO, Chat is significantly inferior than Hangouts. So I still prefer Hangouts over Chat to communicate.

It used to be a blue banner that says "Hangouts is being replaced by Google Chat". Today, when trying to use Hangouts, it just say that Use Chat in Gmail. This is even after uninstalling Chat and reinstalling Hangouts from Play Store. There seems to be no way out of it. For the time being, it can still receive calls. But since I have no way to bypass that "Use Chat in Gmail" splash screen, I cannot do hangouts.

Am I being force migrated? Is there a way to rollback?

It's updating the partition sizes so that it doesn't get messed up while you're backing up the partition.

I know I know: Again someone asking "how do I unlock my phone without the pattern", but please read to the end haha.

I use a VPN software on my phone that asks me to change me lock screen settings every 6 months. So did I, guess what, 6 months ago. Since I never restarted my phone and I use face unlock and fingerprint, I never had to re-enter my pattern. Today I was stupid enough to restart my phone and locked myself out.

It's a huawei mate 10 pro (BLA-29) and yes, I can prove that I am the legal owner of this device

Some months ago I activated the developer options and also USB debugging. Why? I thought that I could remove the "gesture.key" file if I forget the pattern. So yes, my PC can find the phone with fastboot and abd. But i did NOT unlock the boot loader (and I did not check the option in the developer settings).

I tested a lot of patterns but the time inbetween the 3 chances to enter a pattern rises, I am at 2 hours at the moment.

Fortunatelly I added a second user account to the phone, but it's a standard user and not an admin. I also installed "lostandroid" by https://www.androidlost.com/ but unfortunatelly my phone does not receive any commands since I am logged in with the second (non-admin) account.

My next attempt was to remove the pattern file via "adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key" but the file does not exists. Yes, I googled and found out, that since android marshmellow the files are p.e. "/data/system/gatekeeper.pattern.key" but this file ALSO does not exist.

• I can't flash a new zip or su.zip since the bootloader is still locked and I can't unlock it.
• I can't pull the gesture file since none of them (as mentioned above) exist.
• I can't push another key since I always get "permission denied", no matter to which directory I try to push
• "SU" is not installed.
• "adb root" doesn't to anything but also throws no error.
• The system partition is read only.
• I can't remount the system partition since it gives a error message that verity is enabled.
• I can't disable verity since it's a user build.
• The backup created with "adb backup" are way too small (just about 1 GB), no matter which parameters (apk/noapk, all, system/nosystem etc.) I use. So there is no chance to create a backup of my data, right?
• I can't unlock the bootloader with "fastboot oem unlock UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" since I did not check the setting in the developer options. My second user is not allowed to open the developer settings.
• my second account seems to be broken since my phone throws an error "apps are beeing prepare, try again later" (translated roughly from German) but even after 2 hours, several reboots, the apps don't open.

I stumbled accross this thread and honestly I dont know if this could help with my problem.

https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/215800/how-to-disable-dm-verity-on-android-with-user-build-type-rom?newreg=20ee222f4e4045808e34bd35fb084d52

So is there anybody that can help me with this? I know that I am really stupid but hard resetting without a backup is no option. I got backup files of course but I received important files of a big customer of my business on that phone 2 days ago, so there is no backup yet which includes these files.

As I wrote: it's my phone, I can prove it but it's really important so maybe there is anybody that can help me

Keep the phone in silent when you start the app then gradually increase volume. Most applications which may not respect system volume and modify it directly would still respect the silent mode.

You can also use "system volume limiter" apps from play store

I honestly can't say regarding the pixel 6. That's one thing I miss about the old mobiles. There is a company " ScaleFusion" that offers this. While it looks like it may be intended for mass implementation , they may have it available for individual consumers.

You could always use a hidden vault or dialer in the interim. Then place this fake dialer on the home screen https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=come.wakeappbase.dialerprank .

Slow loading of the internal storage folder specifically when I connect my phone to the PC. A green bar keeps on progressing quickly at the beginning and seems to be slowing down as it reaches the end and still the folders don't appear. I am not able to transfer the files from my phone to the PC.

Please help.

I have a USB harddrive connected to my Android 10 phone via USB C. How can I copy files from to phone to it?

When I go into the "Files" app, select a file and hit "Copy to...", it doesn't give me a choice of destination, it just sends it to the SD card. I can see the drive in the app and even create new folders in it and see its contents, I just can't copy anything to it. I've already tapped the "allow access to this drive" thing in the app.

It turns out there's a country setting under ⋮ -> Settings -> Your current country. Somehow my country had been switched to Argentina. Posting this here because I came up empty after spending 20 minutes of searching on Google. Hopefully this can help someone else.
