does anyone know how to add new commands to shell ? or it is possible to install bash or something similiar inside, once we have root now ?
this shell inside is really "cuted" and almost all "ordinary(standart)" command I am missing
e.g: more vi and so on
maybe it works in different way , if yes just correct me
Any try to help is appreciated , but please stay on topic. because I can see it is one of the biggest problem here ..
Have you downloaded the newest version of busybox in the marked? This gives you a lot more commands then the first version posted with the initial root, one if them is vi.

I did this:
Download bash binary from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537827
You can either replace the default "sh" with this (warning: the "sh" binary is the one that gives you root privileges in the first place, so you might loose them, I'm about to experiment with this and would post more details soon) or keep them both.
Download ASE from here: http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/
This gives you an easy bridge to Android java using a scripting language of your preference.
When you use adb you will have VI and such available. I don't know much about the varios unix/linux shells available but I know that ADB is offering a lot of ****

no.. that's what busybox is for
You can use ADB on unrooted devices to remove the "What's New" option from the NavRing and to remove the Small Apps Widget launcher from Recent Apps.
I will assume you know how to install and use ADB.
To remove the "What's New" option from the NavRing:
Code:
adb shell
pm block com.sonymobile.advancedwidget.entrance
exit
adb reboot
Make sure to reboot before proceeding if you're removing both items.
To remove the Small Apps Widget Launcher from the Recents screen:
Code:
adb shell
pm block com.sony.smallapp.launcher
pm block com.sony.smallapp.app.widget
exit
adb reboot
To revert changes substitute "unblock" for "block" in the command.
Good to note that these work just have to be run seperatley, i tried to block all 3 at the same time and it did not work you have to remove the whats new then reboot then remove the small apps then reboot again
Thanks for this OP i hate that whats new thing

Thanks, added to OP.
Thank you!
The what's new was really bugging me :-/
do you know if the block command does the same as "deactivate" would do from the Settings->Apps menu? (if it were enabled)

I assume so, the "pm" is for the package manager commands.
I can not thank you enough! I still don't know what Sony was thinking with "What's New".
Favorite'd, I just know I'll be needing this soon enough xD
Working like a charm. Glad to have my recents cleaned up. Any other bloatware we can disable this way? Love to get rid of the walkman, sony app updates, movie, movie creator, etc
Im just trying to do this but when I type adb shell reboot it says device not found. It does say im in [email protected] though. Anyone know whats wrong?

do adb devices, should be able to see your device listed. if it reads not autorized: unlock your lockscreen and confirm the dialog to give computer access.

Thats the weird thing, my device is listed when I do that.
ADB, SDK, JDK, JRE, USB debug, USB drivers: all set up correctly?
Thanks! worked perfectly for me, at least it did when I installed the Android SDK on my Windows partition instead of my Mac ... Really didn't want to work on the Mac side, nor is there a native way to transfer wirelessly from my Mac but everything works well on the Windows end.
Thanks again OP :good:
Can this method be used to disable the other system apps?

Got the same thing before I found out you need to exit remote shell before you run reboot command (I'm new to using adb for anything other than push/pull)
So after:
pm block com.sonymobile.advancedwidget.entrance
exit
adb reboot

Yea, you need to exit shell before running any adb command, I'll add that to the OP.
Alright for some reason it doesent remove whats new for me. Ive rebooted a few times and it doesnt work. Removing the small apps did work though.

This whole thread is actually a repetition of what has already been discussed and suggested over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/help/deactivated-apps-getting-activated-t2889082

Hit thanks button If It really helps you
Thank you
Great
Got an Oppo R9s through aliexpress. First time it arrived the home button wouldn't work, neither the fingerprint scanning. After sending it back and waiting three months I got a working device, but seems to have malware on it.
The lock screen is filled with chinese pictures. Doesn't seem malicious, but I can't remove it. After resetting the device to factory settings it's the first thing that installs itself after giving it network access. The wallpaper option in settings doesn't work. More importantly, when I add a phone contact, the phone app crashes opening as well as the contacts app, which renders the phone completely useless, not being able to make a simple phone call. Also, simple mode doesn't work either.
So my guess this is a modified rom to have some malware always present and basic functionality is either removed or crippled. Following instructions to enter fastboot mode (volume up + power on) seem to enter an endless loop, so it looks like this option is disabled. Using volume down I'm able to enter a recovery mode, where it says it's version 1.2 (root), and allows me to select some rom for flashing.
Before trying to wade through all the threads regarding rooting and flashing, I was considering simply replacing the ColorOS rom with a clean one. However I'm unable to find any for R9s, is it that this model doesn't have one available? Even looking at the international Oppo forums they don't have any R9s download links. So I guess I have to spend some hours reading and fishing links from long threads like https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/oppo-r9s-rooting-t3496781 ?
The about info of the device says this is an Oppo R9s, ColorOS v3.0, Android 6.0.1, MSM8953 OctaCore, 4GB ram, build number R9s_91_A.28_191025, baseband version Q_V1_P14,Q_V1_P14, Kernel 3.18.24-G201710252140.

Are you trying to replace the ROM or just remove the Malware? I've never heard of this device before so I can't point you towards any ROMs, But I can certainly help you remove Malware embedded in the ROM.

I'm not interested in changing ROMs, just remove the malware that prevents normal device usage. That's why I was asking for links to ColorOS firmware, I presume reinstalling those would restore normal operation. However if that's not possible I'll take any non-malware ROM.
I followed the recommendation from http://community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=50113 to use "adb shell" commands and disable ROM programs, finally getting to remove the lock screen pictures. After a while of having the phone turned on, I heard a weird ping sound and then the touch screen stopped responding. It works fine, since I can power off swiping to the right on the off screen, or I can swipe down and play with the toggles, but the launcher and settings app don't seem to receive touches. So maybe I disabled something affecting the screen? I did run:
adb shell pm hide com.android.browser
adb shell pm hide com.android.contacts
adb shell pm hide com.oppo.usercenter
adb shell pm hide com.nearme.gamecenter
adb shell pm hide com.nearme.atlas
adb shell pm hide com.nearme.statistics.rom
adb shell pm hide com.oppo.launcher
adb shell pm hide com.oppo.market
adb shell pm hide com.oppo.music
adb shell pm hide com.sohu.imputmethod.sogouoem
adb shell pm hide com.redteamobile.roaming
adb shell pm hide com.redteamobile.virtual.softsim
adb shell pm hide com.coloros.lives
adb shell pm hide com.nearme.themespace
adb shell pm hide com.nearme.themespacelib
adb shell pm hide com.coloros.pictorial
Rebooting or recovery mode doesn't work, so I figured to install a ROM from https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70366156&postcount=13 in recovery mode (where the touch screen works fine). After installation the "optimizing android apps" kept there forever, so I turned it off/on manually, and now I launch into the original launcher with a few chinese icons, but still the screen doesn't seem to work.
Touches work for the notifications and such, but nothing for the launcher or settings, so now I'm unable to turn on USB debugging to send adb shell commands. :crying:
You've disabled your launcher and a couple of required android services (Browser etc) Use adb again to sideload a new launcher too.

I did these after installing replacements, like that post explained. Chrome as browser, Google APKs for contacts/calendar, Novo launcher instead of stock… and everything seemed to be working fine.
I can't enable debugging on the device, adb commands don't seem to reach the device. I've never used sideload before, does it work even without debug mode enabled?

You can sideload an app via recovery by pushing it to /system/app
And then use adb shell chmod 644 "/system/app/APKNAME"

I can't due to adb not being able to connect to the device, since I can't put it in debug mode. When the device is in recovery mode I can't access it either, I only get "- waiting for device -"

Finally managed to flash a good original ROM on the device. Conveniently the chinese rom prevents running dangerous adb commands, but at least I seem to have gotten rid of the malware and I'm able to change desktop wallpapers and the lockscreen magazine
$ adb shell pm hide com.oppo.music
Error: java.lang.SecurityException: Neither user 2000 nor current process has android.permission.MANAGE_USERS.

PROBLEM SOLVED NO NEED TO REPLY
Hey, xda-developers!
Can you give me some advice? I debloated my LG v20 with adb using the following command: "pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.cloudhub". It seems that I accidentally uninstalled a object that controls my phones second screen.
Can you please tell me how I can re-install said objects (without factory reset)? I'm pretty sure I know which objects I need to re-install, just don't know how to. I tried "adb shell cmd package install-existing com.lge.signboard" and got the error message "127|elsa:/ $ adb shell cmd package install-existing com.lge.signboard
/system/bin/sh: adb: not found"
So any ideas: commands, programs I can use, anything... I'm super grateful.
Thank you for reading my post!
Regards,
xdagirlrocker

If solved, why not say how - for others?
If rooted then this can be tried...

Good point! I will do so! Maybe it will help someone in future.
First I searched for possible objects that might be related to LG v20 second screen. Through the power of duckduckgo I found the following objects:
com.lge.signboard.initialguide
com.lge.provider.signboard
com.lge.signboard.setting
com.lge.quicktools
com.lge.coneshortcut
com.lge.conerecent
com.lge.signboard
In my case the (by mistake) removed object was com.lge.signboard.
From there on solved it using a software I found on xda forums. It's called ADB AppControl and it can be found on the following links. I also included the xda link. Since I couldn't find the proper command to restore the deleted item, I used this software to "un-delete" it. It was very easy.
