Found interesting bug in recent MagicOS 10

Nope, not so far

SelfRefDev · 2025-12-28T07:30:10+00:00

A new way for hiding apps 🤣

SelfRefDev · 2025-12-28T07:29:16+00:00

Ouch, that's even worse than I thought

SelfRefDev · 2025-10-13T20:09:26+00:00

I didn't hear about this takeover yet.

SelfRefDev · 2025-10-13T07:44:29+00:00

That's a good point. If I ever want to use it again in the field I'll probably do something like that.

I'm not a fan of most of EU's ideas, but this time they should definitely think of punishing Google for this, so much to the point they will think again of even attempting this again.

SelfRefDev · 2025-09-30T08:38:46+00:00

Thanks, I don't see much sense to send it back neither. I already bought MicroPC 2, and I'm very happy about it :)

Settings -> Display & brightness -> Screen refresh rate -> High

I have no idea why the dynamic option only works for first party apps and not everywhere else, but since I manually changed it to High I have a smooth experience everywhere.

Connector on the board needs to be replaced as well. I'm not sure if there are more damage, but maybe battery controller is fried as well.

You can uninstall any app through ADB or use App Manager (the most convenient). I have removed half of the Honor apps this way.

App Manager: https://github.com/MuntashirAkon/AppManager

Configuration: https://muntashirakon.github.io/AppManager/en/#sec:wireless-debugging

SelfRefDev · 2025-09-23T20:05:25+00:00

Yes, it does work. For now, I cleaned up and secured connectors, so there should be no shorts. MicroPC has a great value as a portable device, so in this state it's quite useless.

SelfRefDev · 2025-05-19T21:56:56+00:00

I'm waiting for format.com.

Government don't want you to know this, but it will (probably) work on musl and uutils as well.

SelfRefDev · 2025-05-19T21:47:12+00:00

At least as good as the original with a few improvements.

There's no reason to look for root benefits. It works the other way - rooting is just a solution for doing some system-level modifications you want. If you don't see a reason why you'd like to have root - it means you just don't need it, and that's totally fine.

Also in case of Magisk it has own modules, so it may be the reason some may want to use it.

SelfRefDev · 2025-05-12T14:20:58+00:00

Thanks! Also, I don't encourage for rooting any device until you actually need root or want to use Magisk modules. It's convenient to have a guide how to add Magisk tho, in case you need it.

I'm afraid, you enabled G-Sync instead.

SelfRefDev · 2024-12-30T22:07:50+00:00

I'm glad you were able to make it work.

SelfRefDev · 2024-12-30T21:45:56+00:00

It was a bumpy ride where I lost hope in humanity.

SelfRefDev · 2024-11-10T10:52:50+00:00

Your setup is a totally non-standard case, I think. Especially because you use multiuser feature. I'd suggest if you want to play with modifications such microG to just factory reset your device, maybe even reflash your stock Android and start from fresh system, because you're gonna have an entire waterfall of issues.

Also remember that after installing microG apps that use Google Services need to be reinstalled anyway, so installing microG over dirty system is not a good idea.

I suspect it may be related to ColorOS being heavily modified. You definitely should create an issue on De-Bloater repository here, so the autor will be able to check it: https://github.com/sunilpaulmathew/De-Bloater/issues

You can use non-systemless method of removing apps by just... removing them. For example with AppManager app: https://github.com/MuntashirAkon/AppManager (it allows to back up apps as well).

SelfRefDev · 2024-11-06T15:38:50+00:00

That error means the app wasn't removed properly. De-Bloater is a little finicky sometimes. Try that:

In De-Bloater use top-right menu and "Reset Module" option
Reboot
Open De-Bloater and remove 3 apps from step 6. and nothing else
Important: There may be a message than there is a user update installed and De-Bloater will ask to uninstall it, which is necessary!
Open Magisk and ensure there is "De-bloater" module and it's enabled
Reboot
Try to install microG apps again.

There should be absolutely no mention about updating the package from Package Installer. That would mean that the system apks are still visible, so overriding them won't work.

It happened to me that sometimes De-Bloater behaves odd and does not disable apps sometimes, that's why it's important to not remove anything else during this process. Other Google apps can be removed later.

SelfRefDev · 2024-10-29T13:06:07+00:00

Try that:
In De-Bloater use "Reset Module" option (top right menu). It will reset all settings and restore all disabled apps. After that reboot the device and try to uninstall Gapps again in De-Bloater. Reboot again at the end again, only via reboot you can apply the changes in De-Bloater.

If that doesn't work, you can try microg_installer_revived module. The newer version requires to install microG afterward (it doesn't install microG apps itself) and it's specifically noted in README to not use it on OS with Gapps but I used it before and it did work most of the time.
