How do you install apps so they'll stay if you factory reset the phone

    chaimzalman somewhere in the 600 posts he said he did it, so i don't think he was asking that.

        Biden2020prez I was asking because I installed apps as system, and they didn't come back, but I figured it out thanks

              ZTEGuy So what is the way to do it?

                Jumptoheaven I haven't disassembled the mouse code yet but suspect it's just a hard limit due to how they wanted it to work with the included chromium browser.

                  Jumptoheaven don't know. But its possible with a bit of hard work. You can put mouse on top, hold dpad middle while dpad down. Just don't go too far down or else it resets. By the way, this mouse supports drag.

                      neutronscott thank you so much for your continued service here - I have two questions:

                      1) I am not looking for any of the super ROMs developed so far so for me cutting down super install time isn't yet a need - what I am wondering is what else you have currently in your Recovery image that may give me extra functionality - do you have a working custom Recovery mode and if so what can it do?

                      2) Was anyone at any point in this thread able to extract Do you have an unmodded boot.img that could be flashed to restore the phone completely to factory state?

                          dovwcom the modifications to recovery so far are to use adb shell. One utility which may help if you've remounted /system as rw and made edits is e2fsck to fix any corruption.

                          There is an over the air update which came with the boot.img which is how we were able to start modifying the device. It was posted long ago. This may work too:

                              NEC if its something dragable then use dpad center plus whichever direction you want to drag it. For example: when making a macro with multiple steps, press the up/down arrow, and reorder the actions (or trigger) by dragging them up or down (from the lines on the right)

                                neutronscott You're unbelievable!!

                                Out of curiousity, how did you make Magisk giving you su, without being bound to the Magisk app granting?
