I have a problem using my apps because of the ads,they appear fullscreen on every 3 seconds,so its imposible to use my apps.i have tried a lot of apps that block advertisments, but they were useless.all of the apps are downloaded from google playstore.solution?
check your apps, fake ones act like this
There are some apps which produce ads on our mobile for that they earn money for displaying it and earn more when clicking it.
Try adblock plus which is totally free and it's not available in Playstore so you need to download it directly from your browser.
It might work :good:

How can i know which apps are fake?
Are you rooted? How do you block ads?
Is this happen on every app on your smartphone, even the native ones? This sounds like a virus/exploit.... if your smartphone is rooted you should try to get an antivirus-app and try to use it.. or if nothing works you have to reinstall your OS

This is abnormal (not related to a website for instance). Wipe the user data and start from scratch to identify the faulty app. Did you install apks outside the Play Store?

Well that's part of your problem right there. That developer is known if being terrible with putting ads everywhere. No one that knows will touch their apps.

That won't matter as long as you have apps from Cheeta apps. They are one of the most hated app developers around do to the ads. Also most of their apps really don't do anything other then placebo

You have obviously installed crappy apps that use ads from adbuddiz, admob... We can find a lot of them on Google Play (one of the reason why F-Droid is a good alternative).
Either uninstall everything but trusted apps (then reboot) or root your device and update your hosts file with good sources (AdAway's ones for instance). If it doesn't work, you will probaly have to start from scratch.
Anybody figured out to stop ads from hijacking the home page left swipe. I don't want ads to display on the home screen or in notifications and somehow miui displays their music ads as shown in the picture. I didn't find any settings to stop ads so I could use help from you guys.
My device is not rooted so can't use any adblockers.
Thanks in advance.

Disable App vault lol there's nothing more u can do about that. Settings>home screen and recents>app vault> disable.
There's an option in miui setup to enable personalized ad recommendations or not, you might have enabled that now find that option in settings, I didn't enable it so I never get to see any kind of ads.
Removing consent to be served these apps would plainly sound a good option (I've never yet used MIUI so I don't know how aggressive their ad service is). Blokada from Google Play is great and doesn't need root - might allow you to block these ads.
I'm hoping there will be some AOSP builds for this phone - MIUI is starting to sound a bit sucky

Yes very bad graphics. You need to use an app called "package disabler pro" and disable game optimization service and game launcher.
As for PUBG. follow this tutorial and you can keep it at 60fps for even smooth gameplay. https://youtu.be/obCTZY8QLvo

And it doesn't work when I deactivate the services and applications of samsung, it's still so blurry
I got a new Tab S7 plus yesterday & was bugged a couple of my games looked poorly. Like genshin impact & super mecha champions. I tried the game plug-in app. It helped a bit. Now I'm curious about the package disabler pro.
Plugin app works like a charm I don’t understand
The issue I see is disabling game optimization services,game booster plus doesn't not work if it is disable.Game launcher can be disabled no problem.
I think the problem is from the aspect ratio being 16:10. I suspect curtain games are downgrading the resolution in order to maintain this ratio. 16:9 is far more common and therfore your phone is not affected.

Means cmd commands or using some disabler app? Actually its getting disabled. But again gets enabled automatically.
I've been removing bloatware that I see using `adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.the.app`. I think I may have removed "the wrong thing" because now I don't see the Battery setting in the settings list. I also don't see battery saver in the notification menu. There was a useful battery statistics page that showed what apps are using what percentage of the battery. I'd like to get that back.
Can anyone confirm what the package is that provides this functionality? I'll look at how to restore it (since I used the -k option I should be able to get it back).
Thank you.
There are dependencies. Can't recall all for that.
Maybe:
com.sec.android.sdhms
com.google.android.apps.turbo
You really need to know what you're uninstalling before you do it.
It's easier to use a Package Disabler if you want to experiment. It's possible to boot loop the device though if you go too nuts. Some of the "bloatware" just sits there using no resources until you need it and is in fact operationally useful.

It's been difficult to find a guide that specifically lists the operationally useful ones to keep. I can only judge them by name and remove based on that. I try to be conservative. But lack of reliable guidance is frustrating.
Googling leads to a ton of different lists of "bloatware", all of them completely wrong. So there's no way for me to know what to trust. I think it would be fantastic if you could provide a list.
I did `cmd package install-existing PACKAGE_NAME` for each of the 2 packages you listed, and it didn't install anything, I think. `pm list` doesn't show them after I run the commands.
Here is something that should be a little more helpful. I generated two lists:
pm list packages -u
pm list packages
I diffed the two and here are the packages that were in the first list but not the second (should represent packages I uninstalled via `adb shell pm uninstall`:

If there's anything in here that should be restored (especially if they are related to this battery app issue), please let me know. Thanks again.
Nothing that stands out.
The names can be quit different from their actual function. Worse there can be seemingly unrelated dependencies that will fail if it's needed associated apk is disabled.
Many times the trail/error method is needed to figure out what all a apk or service does.
It takes some time. Each device and user needs are different so each device needs to be customized by the user to work right. One list does not fit all.
I have about 86 packages disabled, about 6 are available immediately by using a PD's interactive widget on/off toggle.
Google play Services and Playstore are normally disabled except when because they're such troublemakers.
Google backup Transport, Framework, Firebase are always disabled.
I also use Karma Firewall to lock down a bunch of apks/services.
My stock N10+/Pie gets 7-11%@hr SOT now. At night using tap on AOD with phone, texting and internet enabled it uses >.5% battery per hour.
Current OS load is over a year old, still fast and very stable with little maintenance needed.
Took over a year for me to fully optimize it.
It's a learning process, but well worth it.
Could you provide some information on how you disable the items in your list? For example I google for disabling Firebase but nothing comes up.
I'm looking at adb logcat to see if something jumps out at me but so far most of it seems useless.
Google Firebase is under Settings, Google account. It collects all kinds of your usage data ie music, playlists, vids etc on your dime, allegedly for faster indexing.
This Disabler works:
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.

Code:

This is listed in this repo: https://github.com/khlam/debloat-samsung-android
The repository has this to say about the "Device Care" app:
The Device Care app will be disabled and will not appear in settings. This includes Samsung's app sleeper and battery monitor. There is evidence the Device Care app created by the Chinese company Qihoo 360 sends data to China domains over HTTP.

Device Care is a useful app. I use the original factory load version that came with my 10+.
It uses the suspected CCP spyware 360° cleaning app, which actually does a very good job. I simply firewall block it's untrustworthy a$$
Latter Device Care versions aren't as useful but still have needed settings toggles. After you set them you can disable it. I recommend you not use battery optimization or and of those toggles, only toggle on fast charging. This app doesn't use a lot of power as best I can tell as long as the battery optimizing toggles aren't enabled.

I instead went with a separate app, AccuBattery, to monitor app battery usage. That way I'm not relying on potential malware from Samsung

Accubattery can't do what Device Care does.
I use Accubattery too.
The newer versions dropped 360° so it's gone.
360° deep cleaning actually works very well and is probably no threat when firewall blocked. Which is why I still run the factory load version.

It's a cleaning app Samsung use to license to use in Device Care. Unfortunately the Chinese company that owned it was data mining user data so Samsung ditched them.
So I just firewall block it... it works well otherwise.

The old Device Care with 360° effectively cleans system logs files and other hidden caches.
Cleans some things SD Maid doesn't seem to touch. If you load the old version simply block it with Karma Firewall which uses almost no battery, ad free.
Battery stats are much more detailed in Device Care. It also has easy power mode settings... play with it. No harm, no foul.
While really put off by the recent Samsungs, I still decide to change my S8 for a S10. On the S8 I had Bk Disabler + Plugin, but while searching on the Playstore I can't seem to find it, or any other trustworthy app.
I have enabled ADB, and now I'm searching for a local (on the smartphone, no-root package disabler like Package Disabler Pro or Bk Disabler but can't find them (or at least in the case of BK/Service Disabler, a no-root version).
Thanks.
This.
You have ADB and environment... What's the functionality are you looking for with the disabler app that you aren't getting when you disable (or uninstall but keep a copy of the APK with the --k switch) with the package manager from command line? If I know what's important to you maybe I can make a recommendation.

I need an on the fly (as in a smartphone app) package disabler like BK disabler + plugin which I use to have on my S8. I don't like having to plug to adb, and have tedious command lines I don't have a (gui) visibility on.

Both of those have failed me repeatedly including the dreaded Android kernel has crashed pop up, twice with BK, that's really fun.
This one hasn't. The annual charge is a small price to pay for reliability. Supports up 3 devices. When I brought my second N10+ online it took 5 minutes or less to get PD MDM running.
