[APP][ROOT] Install Manager v3 - Total control over your apps!

Install Manager allows you to move and remove almost every app on your device.
This app greatly extends Googles (rather poor) A2SD feature which was introduced in 2.2.
It all started as a small app called "Choose Install Location" with its ability to
choose an applications install location (internal or external memory) right before its installation.
Install Manager v3 is the latest iteration of great app management tools.
Probably the best alternative to Apps2Ext scripts.
Features:
* Choose where an application should be installed.
* Literally move almost every app from internal memory to your SD card and vice-versa.
* Select a number of applications and let Install Manager either move or uninstall them automatically.
* Integrated apk file browser to find all the packages you have on your SD card.
* It also integrates itself in almost every file browser, mail client etc on the Market.
* NEW: Remove system apps you don't want with ease! (Pro only)
* NEW: Disable applications (Pro only)
That's not the end, I'll continue to make it better and better. Some new cool features are on the way already.
Requirements:
Android 2.2 or higher
Root access

Thanks. How does the UI look on a 7" screen? I don't have any tablet-size device to test it on... And the emulator plainly sucks.

Install Manager > All other Apps2SD:
- More power user features.
- In-app browser.
- Better performance and compatibility with Froyo.
Loving the hell out of this. This app is a few months old. No one else knew about this?

Well done sir! Looks good! Will give it ago when i get home
do you know if this will work on the miui rom?

Thanks for posting man, downloading now I'm constantly running low on my N1 and this should definitely remedy the problem.

Thank you!
Excellent app!
Runnig well in my Milestone with Froyo.

It's nice, but when I go to uninstall an app, it will delete something totally different than what I clicked on

Thank you guys, I'm glad you like it.

Where does this happen? Batch-Uninstall? I'll change some stuff so that it shows a summary of what apps you are about to uninstall on the confirmation dialog. This should help tracking the bug. Feel free to report all sorts of bugS!

For this happened on my dinc running miui gb rom...i would long press an app and the menu would show up..it would show the name of the app i wanted it uninstall but when i clicked uninstall it would remove another app...so i tried to go to app details and uninstall that way this helped me figure out that it would uninstall the app above the one you clicked

I think I know where the problem is. It's a bug in the 2-apps-restriction function. ^^ fix will be out by the end of this weekend, including the summary in the confirmation dialog.

...moves apps to FAT32 or a second Ext2 partition?

just tested on miui rom.. works very good!!

can i also transfer widgets to sd?
if your program works i think it will be one my my favorites

FAT32, the app is just an "extension" to Googles A2SD implementation.
@haldir18: sadly no, it's the usual A2SD limitation. But at least you are free to move apps which are usually not allowed to be moved.

You haven't rebooted, right? ^^

If you experience the Off-By-1-Bug, please tell me on what screen it happens ("All apps", "Batch move", etc.) and what device/ROM you are using. I'd like to investigate into this problem since I've never seen this happen.
EDIT: New version uploaded! Try it and tell me if the bug is fixed.

Dead Space *Running 100%*

See the number of ways you can install the game below.
UPDATE
-Version 1.1.35 works without modifications. Purchase from the market then side load (thanks Philburkhardt)
OLD
Hey guys I found the ultimate fix that remedies the landscape issue and allows you to play the game without chain fire. I received this tip from user Brazooka from another forum, I'm not sure if this fix has been posted here but I'll just add it on in case someone missed it.
"The issue is not the APK but the SD Data...
That's what I did:
- Used v1.1.37 APK cracked by Nops
- SD Data downloaded via Wi-Fi (let the game download)
This way the game works fine with Chainfire3D (Qualcomm plugin)
If you want to run the game without Chainfire:
- download the "SD for ALL" ( Which I will not link here for obvious reasons)in the first topic. Extract ONLY these directories:
\ea\deadspace\published\ParticleBaseTextures
\ea\deadspace\published\texturepacks_ui
\ea\deadspace\published\textures
- overwrite the previous ones, the ones the game itself downloaded from EA servers.
VOILA!"
I haven't put much time into it so if anyone has any issues feel free to let us know.

I found THIS thread. Maybe it will help. It's worth a shot.

Has anyone gotten dead space to run properly on their transformer? It installed and runs quite well however all i see is white screen and the screen is stuck on portrait. Options, and the onscreen analog is visible and I'm able to move the character around but its difficult due to the graphical issue. I tried it on my nook color and the orientation is fixed except for the white screen.I remember seeing someone saying they had it running, I just don't remember where.Help?

Install Chainfire3D and the Plugins, then use the PowerVR plugin, if that doesn't work, use the Qualcomm plugin.

Thanks but I've had it preinstalled

Chainfire3D + the Qualcomm plugin fixed the white, but it's still stuck in portrait .

How did you get it to install? I installed the apk and then the sd files on the root ea/deadspace and still keep getting the downloading bar.

That's what I'm hoping will happen, but the fact that no other EA games are compatible with the Transformer isn't giving me much hope. The Transformer can't even access Flexion. I finally got Need for Speed Shift working on the TF. I bought it months ago for my EVO. I had to jump through flaming hoops to get it running. There are even currently two versions on the market, at two different pricepoints. Neither of them are compatible with the TF, WTF? As far as I'm concerned, EA is currently no better than Gameloft. Placing [email protected]#t hardware requirements on their games. I would love for EA to prove me wrong and open up Dead Space for a wide variety of devices, after the month long Xperia Play exclusive period ends. But, seeing as I still can't play the Sims 3 I bought 9 months ago on my TF, I'm not expecting it.
Sorry for the mini-rant .

I think the problem could be fixed via the AndroidManifest.xml file inside the APK. The file specifies orientation, and what priority it takes.
I made a custom xml file for it.. not sure if it works, but someone would need to repackage the apk with it. I am not having any luck getting a apk to repack today...

If you want to post it, I'll give it a shot. Won't be able to post the apk if it works, because it would be warez. But I could maybe confirm.

That is perfectly understandable. As long as you could confirm, I think that would satisfy most people here that it is fixable.
Here is the link: http://db.tt/F1FIOQc
All it does is edit this line:
Code:
<activity android:name=".DeadSpaceActivity" android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation">
to:
Code:
<activity android:name=".DeadSpaceActivity" android:screenOrientation="landscape" android:configChanges="orientation"/>

I'm not having much luck. I'm able to get the apk together and re-sign it. But, it isn't showing up as an installable apk on my tf.

Thats the problem I was having. I am not sure what is causing it either. Its above my head.
Been trying to figure it out. The simple line change shouldn't of changed anything to that effect..

If anything, it might be the forward slash I added at the end of the statement. Could try removing that, and giving it another shot.
Edit: Nevermind. I was able to get it to compile. It was the slash. No go. I will continue to take a look at it.

any one fix it?

Nope. At least I haven't yet. Everything I have tried, it ignores. I have a feeling that its something deeper then just the AndroidManifest.xml file.
Been looking at the .java data for an override statement, but I did not see one.
Pretty much at a dead end from my end.

Manually replace the .apk in /data with this .apk using a root explorer or ADB?
Just wondering if anybody thought of it.
Just restore a backup when it most likely doesn't work anymore.

White screen
Hello,
I have transferred dead space to my sdcard root, and installed Chainfire 3D with the plugins (I pressed on all three, and had them install). However, I still get the white screen overlay when I start the game. Is there some way to get rid of this?
Thanks,

[APP][4.1+] Notifications Off

Hello,
I want to introduce my application "Notifications Off" for controlling application notifications in a centralized way. Instead of toggling notifications for applications individually from the settings screen you can update the settings for all applications from one place. As the feature was introduced in Jelly Bean obviously it only supports Android 4.1 and up.
The app can also automatically disable notifications for new applications as soon as they are installed.
Keep in mind that root is required for the application.
Feedback, suggestions and ideas are welcome.

Hey just rebooted my phone. It seems it doesn't save my selection. I'm on JB 4.2.2.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

Seems like it could help me handling unwanted notifications...
But it says that my device isn't compatible with this version on the Play Store.
I'm running a 4.1.2 ROM on my Galaxy S3 (Omega ROM) so I should be eligible, as far as I understand.
I don't know what else to say to help you identify the problem, let me know what you need.
Thanks for your help anyway, and for the app

Hey,
same problem here, I can't download the App on my GS2 (which I am using atm), but I can do so on my old Xperia X10 mini pro .
The app simply doesn't show up in the market.
Edit: Seems logical that if I'm on my main rom (which is 4.0.4) I won't be able to install it...

Will this work for system notifications such as "External Storage Inserted" which comes up on my Asus Transformer Infinity whenever I have my microSD card in (which never comes out)?

Can you make it compatible with 4.0??
Is there any way you can make it compatible with 4.0 devices. It will be awesome to have. Especially for those people who are stuck with 4.0 forever.
I know the notification control system is not present in ICS but I wonder if root can help in this scenario.
Thank you
:good: Great Job :good:

very nice app, however some app icons a bit larger than the other ones

I have been looking for something like this ever since discovering JB has option to turn off notifications ...
BIG THANKS TO U !!
Usually Autostarts program prevents most apps running automatically in the background, but some still seem to run & pop up with useless notifications
I don't suppose anyone knows what process, that may be visible in Autostarts, would be responsible for kicking an app into action when it decides to prompt a notification ?

Can you do something like "BackgroundDataOff" too? (very useful for limited data plans)
You can merge both functions in one more generic app.

SEARCH EVRYTHING
Hey guys,
Iv'e published my new app for android power users who have lots of files on their device and want easy access to them. It's called Search Everything. It's a file search app that scans your file system and indexes it. Then filters the list by your search term. The result is a fast almost instant results. It operates much like the program "Everything" on windows.
Google Play Link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marlon.searcheverything
Would like to hear some feedback

I'd really love to use this app full time but it does not list any files on my external SD (/storage/sdcard1).
Also, a few basic optinos like show/hide hidden files or garbage files from cache folders.
On the plus side, I really love the sheer speed and i like the color and simple interface design.
Hope there's an update sooon!
Good work, thanks much!

Great app, fast and smooth search but it did not index my external SD card. Couldn't find any thing in my SD card.

Gets force close at every startup. Running stock rom 4.4.4 franco kernel

Great app very fast any plans for root and website searches?

Quick and simple, but on open containing folder rootexplorer 2.x opens the default home directory instead..

The app works great- just like Everything
I've got a suggestion- it would be great if you could make a widget like google's quick search bar, or an app "in" the notification bar (like Notable).
And if it could search apps too.
I know it's a lot- but it's just to get you thinking if you want to add something (the app works great as it is, for me)

LOL you beat me to it. I was gonna suggest the same.
This app is great! Exactly what I have been searching for for a long time! Here are a few more suggestions:
Option to exclude specific locations from being indexed/searched.
Option to launch the app by pressing the search capacitive button, instead of the default google search app.
EDIT: forgot to mention the reason to exclude specific locations - don't really need the gallery thumbnail files in search, do we?

And what about searching/launching apps? Possible? Planned?

Great app, great work
I have now installed this app on my Nexus 7(2013), Nexus 5, and a Motto E and it works amazingly well.
I have been using ES File explorer since I did my first Android device root about 5 years ago and it has been my goto method of searching my devices ever since. But, as anyone who has done this knows it is painfully slow.
Your app has finally changed that and I could not be more grateful.
Thank you for all of your work it is greatly appreciated!

FC while indexing
Fantastic idea. 'Everything' on the PC is so useful, and this is no different. I don't need it to be able to open or view a file, just find where it is, that's been the painfull part upto now.
I do however get PC's every time during indexing, once it gets to around 32K+ files.

OTG drive _not_ mounting

On my new, U11, w/BL still locked, & still unrooted, I connected an OnTheGo (OTG) cable & a thumdrive.
My file mgr of choice, Solid Explorer, *did* 'see' the dir structure & pix I had in my "Fotos" subdir off the root of thumbdrive; but “Google Photos" did NOT see it as a 'Mounted' drive. Why isn't the drive mounted? is it a OS thing, or an HTC thing, or a hardware/driver thing?
This further complicates the lack of the old Gallery app's folder/album based presentation style (fotogs mostly use 'Event' or 'Location' based organization in Lightroom… & BTW, any substitute Gallery-like apps out there? w/preferably on-microSD-Based storage, or on-device storage that uses folder/album based presentation style? Sugestions will be much appreciated). TIA oldwolf

Hey, I love QuickPic, use it since 2013. Minimalistic yet powerful.
My pendrive doesn't get mounted to the filesystem either as far as I can find (I'm unrooted as well). However, I can open pictures from Total Commander from the pendrive, although only one at the time - see attached screens for path in QuickPic. Google Photos opens it even from the "Downloads" native file explorer, one at the time as well, but I don't like the app.

Our Sprint version only has one SIM card and micro-sdcard tray. The dual SIM card version has two options 2 SIM Cards or one SIM card and micro-sdcard. It is not that confusing. We pretty much all know there are different updates and software version, easiest to specify you device info when starting a thread, and I see you started a few threads already.

Thanks for the tip, I just started w/Sprint after 14yrs w/Verizon. Went to take advantage of better prices; but the "experts " in the Sprint 'Tech Experts' chat app have been found wanting in ways that have impacted my experience. I got this phone to switch & paid up front to have flexibility ea. month & not have to pay installments & I've been distracted - I am tech savvy w/computers & computer networks having taught for Novell's edu-channel & therefore I know about explaining tech support issues & it hasn't been fun. I'll try to keep to your correction.
In the Unlocking Bootloader thread there is a whole list of fone flavors &sthe corresponding updates. Guess I was confused. I had to go searching around the 'net & HTC's site to get the U11 User manual.
I'd've hoped HTC would've made it easier to find, or put the link in the Quick Start notes in the original box. Oh well. XDA folks are helpful…

Thanks for the tip, I just started w/Sprint after 14yrs w/Verizon. Went to take advantage of better prices; but the "experts " in the 'Tech Experts' chat app have peen found wanting in ways that have impacted my experience. I got this phone to switch & paid up front to have flexibility ea. month & not have to pay installments & I've been distracted - I am tech savvy w/computers & [email protected] networks having taught for Novell's edu-channel & therefore I know about explaining tech support issues & it hasn't been fun. I'll try to keep to your correction.

HTCDEV will have all the instructions to unlock bootloader, TWRP thread will guide you to install the recovery and since you are on Sprint, save this thread for Firmware updates and if you like the ROM Here
I just tried connecting an USB Sandisk drive to test OTG. Using the native file manager, it sees the flash drive. I formatted it, I can transfer or copy files to and from it, however only from Internal Storage and not External. I have Solid Explorer as well. The only problem is both Root Explorer and Solid Explorer the flash drive doesn't show up. Where exactly do you see the flash drive in Solid Explorer? Not really an issue as in TWRP I can transfer and copy files from the Internal and External Storage to the flash drive no problem.
