[SOLVED] Question for doktor5000 (ADBManager)

[mgauser]

Hello, dear doktor5000.

I am very glad to meet you again in the vastness of the world Wide Web.

Relatively recently I finished writing a program ADBManager. I am currently translating it into other languages. Since my knowledge of German is very far from perfect, if you have time, would you be so kind as to look through my file adbmanager.de.po for the correct spelling? The screenshot shows what I got through an online translator. I am grateful in advance.

p.s. If this is not possible for some reason, just delete this topic. Thanks.

Sincerely,
Alex

Hi there, you may also want to ask our german translattion mailinglist in the meantime: https://ml.mageia.org/l/info/i18n-de

From a quick glance, looks pretty good so far, aside from a few minor case insensitive (lowercase) initial letters for nouns. If you can check my fork, that should cover most of it.
For one I don't know the context - msgid "Backup copying" - does that mean the process during the copy ? I'd probably rephrase that to "Backup copy in progress" or something like that.
Apart from that reboot and restart seems to be a duplicate, maybe change the word there?

Sent you a pull request.

Hooray! Now I have a real German translation! Thank you very much, doktor5000.

-For one I don't know the context - msgid "Backup copying" - does that mean the process during the copy ?
"Backup copying" is my mistake. It will need to be fixed to "Backup copy", you are right. This is the title of the form. I'll fix it now.

-Apart from that "reboot" and "restart" seems to be a duplicate, maybe change the world there?
No, sorry. Here "reboot" is a reboot of the device, and "restart" is a restart of the adb service.

This is amazing! Thanks again for the corrections! I am very grateful to you.

Sincerely,
Alex

Hello, dear doktor5000. If you are tired of unnecessary/intrusive system applications on your smartphone, you can try to remove them using ADBManager-v2.9 (without root privileges). This mode is still being tested, but I thought it might be interesting for you as well.

Description:
---
After clicking the "applications" button, a list of all installed applications in the "Enable/Disable" mode will be presented. To disable applications, uncheck them and click "Apply" button.

To delete applications (including non-removable ones), enable the "Delete Mode" checkbox. All the checkboxes in the application list will be cleared. Select the applications you want to delete and click the "Apply" button.

Is there anything new that needs a translation or something ?

I was just walking on the net and decided to visit you. Communication with you always gives me pleasure. But I came in for a reason, I brought you a gift for your help with the translation.

Is there anything new that needs a translation or something ?

Last time you already explained to me about the register of nouns in German and I would not like to seem intrusive. Most likely, something else will change in the program in the future and in order not to bother you with the translation, I will try to translate myself.

I just thought that the feature of cleaning non-uninstalled/preinstalled applications would be something useful for you in the new version of ADBManager and suggested trying it. I haven't found anything similar for Linux.

In other words, you helped me last time and I would also like to help you now. Also, if you get the results, they would be useful for both of us.

However, if you are using some other software to remove pre-installed (non-removable) applications in your smartphone, I would be interested to know which one? Any information will be important to me. Thanks.

With best wishes,
Alex

Well, I don't have that much use for this. In the past I've had some bad experiences when removing some preinstalled apps as those were deeply integrated into the original images, even more so with some system apps.
It's usually better to build your own image or use clean ones. There are also some debloat programs that can be used on images before writing them or also on your phone via adb shell.

Also I don't see the point in disabling apps - either remove them or leave them as-is.

I completely agree with this. And it was a discovery for me that starting with Android >= 6, commands appeared that allow you to delete factory/pre-installed applications for an active user without root privileges:

Code: Select all

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of package>


It is these commands that I used in the latest version of ADBManager. What do you think about it? How effective is it?

[doktor5000]

It's fine if it works for you, no ?

Raccoons always have everything working and they share this joy with others. After all, they are convinced altruists.
