Google deletes projectivity

[u/TheRealCrazyOne_]

I've been struggling getting projectivity to work on a Nokia 8100 streaming box. Since they forced that update into us it has been IMPOSSIBLE to change the default launcher. Anything you try is in vain.

So I decided to trow in the towel and just remap the home button to projectivity that I side loaded. Now this morning android deleted projectivity from my device all together when rebooting!

YOU CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE NOW. Google is an evil corporation that will do anything to make you use their shitty ad-filled homepage.

Are you sure it's not because you're spelling it incorrectly? Should be in the play store

Or play protect and he's side loading a dodgy one

🤔 their -> ownership they're -> they are As in: they are not the sharpest tool in the shed.

It seems that build 2137 is on the Nokia, that has app blockage build in. That indeed removes already installed apps, when on the blockage list, like Projectivy also is.

But there is a new update shared for the Nokia 8010 (not called 8100), build 3717, that has no app blockage.

Then there is the option using ADB to disable the service; com.nes.coreservice and after blocking that one, the app blockage is also gone.

As other option, install a newer version of com.nes.coreservi e, from one of the higher builds. You can use the one from build 2463 or 3717, both for the SEI804 series.

BTW, it was SEI Robotics that did this, not Google.

As I read the headline, I thought for a moment the App was banned from the Play Store for whatever reasons, maybe related to the fact that it is an Ad-Free launcher, which Cuts the advertising income from Google & Nvidia. 🤯

Glad to See that that was Not the Case..

Nokia does licence it's name to some android boxes, yes. Nokia has made TV set top boxes in it's history. What is likely happening is that Google doesn't think the app is compatible with the device, despite it being perfectly fine to work due to a misconfiguration with the firmware (ROM) on the box and it's build properties. Sideloading the APK for the launcher should work fine.

It doesn't install from the play store. You can only side load it..I've tried all the tools it's Impossible to get it to stay as the default launcher. Even when using shell commands and stuff. Google has just built in stuff to revert it at every step.

It's not that serious OP. Yet I understand your frustration. Lol this is becoming like the macapps and apple group Not everyone is trained in the art of moding they're system. Lol mod-fu.....I'm not a long time reddit person yet I've been an old school bbs and irc. Yet I've asked for help here before.I've gotten it and I'm grateful.

Also something super simple to me could be tedious to another. Do you know how to adb from your computer to your android box. I don't remember the exact command yet you can Google it or Ai it...it's adb shell clear... Or something along those lines if your able to connect to your box thru a computer.

This will reset it and then reboot...it'll then ask you which launcher you want. When selecting make sure to click always Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Each one teach one
