After entering the era of full Android customization, stuffing advertising into it has become the most tacit thing that manufacturers have done.
These ads don't blatantly expose them to the desktop or settings interface, leaving users with as little distraction as possible.
However, this operation is tantamount to covering the ears and stealing bells, because many system apps are ruthlessly invaded by advertisements, resulting in an extremely fragmented user experience.
The most complained about is MIUI, which has more than ten years of customization experience.
MIUI has a convenient operation logic and highly localized functions, but at the same time, his family's advertising is also everywhere.
What ads are built into the system needless to say, usually used can feel it, the most outrageous have to see the "Millet system open screen advertising".
We usually open the App, generally do not have open screen ads, but you may not know, some open screen ads, is MIUI to add to it...
There are ads are not terrible, the most afraid of double BUFF superposition, so that users are miserable.
The advertisement in the upper right corner has a "Mi" logo, which is the Mimon advertisement
This situation is not limited to MIUI, there is another system that is also flooded with ads, and even more cumbersome to turn off ads.
It is the official version of HarmonyOS 2 that was recently pushed to all models.
Don't rush to spray, this is what Xiao Lei feels from his actual experience.
Ordinary embedded advertising is not to say, even the "film" advertising is like a shadow, which will inevitably affect our experience.
Today, Xiao Lei plans to help everyone solve these difficult advertisements.
MIUI
Although MIUI has many advertisements, the official also sets a [one-click close] button for users.
Search for "Ads" in the system settings to find the interface to close ads.
See this [system tool advertisement] no, directly turn it off, all the system with app ads will disappear.
As for the [personalized recommendation] on each App setting, the small partners can switch it on and off as needed.
After all, opening and not opening will not affect the amount of advertising.
The revolution has not yet succeeded, and turning off the above functions is only the first step in eliminating system advertising.
As Mentioned earlier, MIUI will provide an interface for advertisers to add open-screen advertisements to third-party cooperative Apps to achieve common prosperity.
People earn money, but every time we open the App, we have to see the double screen, which is really the top torture.
So, how does MIUI add a separate open-screen ad to the app?
The culprit is miiUI's own [smart service] app.
It is not directly displayed on the desktop, only quietly hiding in the background for non-evil, ordinary users can not find its traces.
Fortunately, the method of turning off the smart service is not difficult, and everyone can follow the operation of Xiao Lei.
Mobile Phone Manager Privacy Protection Right click "Protect Privacy", then pull to the bottom and find "Special Permission Settings".
On the "Special Permission Settings" screen, let's continue with a series of click steps.
Show the upper layer of other applications Click [More] at the bottom to show system programs find "Smart Services" to close
After completing these steps, we completed the great cause of "killing the MIUI advertising tumor", and said goodbye to the double open screen advertising.
But then again, although this shutdown process is not difficult, the steps are a bit more, enough to dissuade many ordinary users.
And it is extremely hidden, most consumers buy mobile phones are out of the box, who knows those ads are MIUI itself added to it...
Through various operations to add ads, Xiaomi's Internet revenue is also growing.
For example, in the second quarter of this year, Xiaomi earned 7 billion yuan through Internet revenue, an increase of 19.1% year-on-year.
Advertising revenue is up 46.2% year-on-year, and with the increase in sales, this Internet revenue will only get higher and higher.
Of course, Xiaomi is not idle and has nothing to do, so it adds so many advertisements to the system.
For so many years, Xiaomi has been selling mobile phones with a cost-effective strategy, and the profit may not be low, but it is true that even half of Apple cannot catch up.
Since the hardware has made a profit, it is natural to make up this profit at the software level.
This means that while we bought cheaper Xiaomi mobile phones, we also sacrificed some user experience.
Under such a business model, the system allows users to manually close ads, which is a matter of conscience.
OK, let's talk about how HarmonyOS turns off system ads.
Hongmeng
Xiao Lei picked up the Honor 30 Pro in the seafood market this year, thinking that it was a strong combination with the MatePad 11 at home to play with multi-screen collaboration.
Overall, the fluency and stability of the Hongmeng system are not black, but the advertising and information flow is everywhere, not inferior to MIUI.
For example, open the search in the desktop slide, and there will be an abrupt "hot search application".
Moving to the negative screen, the whole picture is even more dazzling.
What a mess is stacked on the screen, who can stand it?
If you still put "Xiaoyi Suggestions" on the desktop, then don't blame the system for recommending some strange software to you...
Even [File Management] has been invaded by advertisements, and you can open the App to see "App Recommendations".
I just want to come in and find some documents to read, don't do that.
So ah, don't be stereotyped, in the system advertising this piece, in fact, the manufacturers are similar.
It is difficult to have money without earning money, let alone Internet advertising that can make money lying down.
So, for these ubiquitous advertisements, how does Xiao Lei deal with it?
Because HarmonyOS 2 does not have the option to turn off ads with one click, if we want to turn off ads, we can only turn them off one by one in the settings of each system app.
With the close button hard to find and a plethora of options, I chose to just kill the app with ads.
For example, if there are many negative screen ads, Xiao Lei will freeze the entire negative screen App, and the wisdom search has ads, then I will also pull it into the frozen list.
There may be a small partner who will say, don't you kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred? When the time comes, why do you really need to use these system apps?
First of all, these apps are only temporarily frozen by Xiao Lei, and can be re-thawed at any time.
And the development of the mobile Internet to the present, basically any App can find a similar functional alternative.
For example, "Smart Search" can be replaced by "Search Lite" developed by Ku'an Brother, and "Huawei Music" can be replaced by QQ and NetEase Cloud Music.
Browser not to mention, just find a Via or X browser, that is not more powerful than the original browser?
Freezing the App can reduce the memory occupation of the mobile phone while going to advertise, which is the best of both worlds.
However, there is a saying that it is not everything that can be frozen, if some important system Apps are frozen, it is likely to cause the phone to become bricked.
At this time, we need a better freezing tool than the "Little Black Room" -- 。
It was developed by a B-station UP master, mainly used to delete useless functions and uninstall system apps.
Since the toolbox is based on ADB, it is safe to use, and the developers have actively screened the "frozen apps".
As long as you follow the steps, you basically won't become bricks.
Before using the toolbox, we need to open the developer options in HarmonyOS 2.
The opening method is also very simple, press the "version number" in [About the phone] and you will be finished.
Then we go to the developer options and open all the options circled by Xiao Lei.
At this time, you can use the data cable to connect the mobile phone and the computer.
Once your phone is connected to the computer and granted USB debugging, you can double-click to open the toolbox.
The software interface may be a bit rudimentary, after all, it is only an ADB shell, but it is really practical.
The interface has screened the apps that can be frozen, and give them a note.
For example, smart search is characterized by easy mistouching and many advertisements. Huawei Music is turned on slowly to occupy high.
With the guidance of a high person, it is natural to play with it.
For example, if Ray wants to kill the wisdom search, then enter "-1" at the bottom.
How to uninstall, how to put it back, people have written it for us to understand, it is very simple to get started.
If we really can't use it, we can enter custom mode, enter "999" in it, and let the software guide us safely and concisely.
Hongmeng Toolbox also has many small functions, and Xiao Lei will not give examples one by one.
