What is this app for ? It installs itself and when uninstalled, it again uses our data and gets downloaded. The main problem is that our explorer have very less memory and it takes around 8 MB. how to get rid of it ?

No, you cannot remove it, as you have seen. it is a system app, required for play store & google apps. basically for all the app feedback / statistics report, this app is used.
i know how much we all love our internal storage.
just root ur phone & use sd-ext partition, increase internal space !! :good:

Google is getting ridiculous you know that app is required to run Google apps like youtube etc. When you open then they will say please install Google play services and open you the app in play store lol

anyone figure out how to get it to install when on custom ROM? It must be seeing something on my phone it doesn't like because I try to install and it fails.
This is on a rezound. Going to try and backup working version on my tablet and restore on phone.

If you flash gapps.zip in custom rom, then automatically Google play services is installed.
Otherwise, it's not necessary.

If you install the Play Store 3.9.17 .apk after flashing gapps you won't need to reboot or wait until the market auto-updates. I've done this for a while and it saved a lot of time.
Did you try clearing cache and data? On the market itself. Does it give you a message when trying to download?

You can check your battery usage using the App called Better battery stats . Once you get to know the culprit ( wakelocks , battery eating apps ) those apps can be hibernated . Ex. I hibernate Maps , Google + etc ..
it doesnt hipernate touchdown app
but anyway, superb app
You cannot hibernate system apps using Greenify.. It can hibernate only downloaded apps.. .. Even apps that have been granted device admin status cannot be hibernated..
There is a feature which sends some kinda anonymous usage data via the greenify app.. Go to settings in the greenify app and turn it off..

Dsp manager, play store,themes provider, facebook,media storage.... and what you want. If you notice a bad behavior on the phone only have to degreenify those sistem apps one by one, to know which shouldnt be greenified.

You have to install xposed installer.apk & greenify donation version.

I've done that already. I have greenified quite a few system apps. But media storage, play store don't seem to appear in the list... And moreover when I try to greenify Play Store by using the search and then clicking on the notification.. It says system apps cannot be greenified..
Like I said, I have already greenified quite a few System apps.. But play store will not greenify..

[Q] Country-restricted Play Store app updates

I had to sideload a Korean music app (Melon / 멜론) because it's not downloadable outside Korea, per it's link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iloen.melon&hl=en
Anyway, I read that if you sideload an app that is on the Play Store with it's correct app name, it will automatically attach to your account. However, I do not find this to be the case, as I have had it for some weeks now and there is a newer version out but I don't see it on My Apps in Play Store, and if I access it's direct page through the app with that link, there is a giant black bar that basically says "F U BUDDY, NO DICE" covering where the "update / uninstall" buttons normally are.
My question is - has it just not attached because it's not allowed in the USA? Or... if I buy Titanium Backup Pro and try to attach it that way, will the updates start working (since I already have the app installed) ?
I'm just curious because I already have an account with Melon and can technically use the app but would prefer not to have to keep sideloading updates.
I tried using some VPN application to connect through Japan (I know this is not the same as Korea ) after stopping Play Store and wiping it's data and cache, and turning off mobile data (wiped everything while in Airplane mode) but that didn't make a difference.
Thanks in advance!
I decided to buy Titanium Backup Pro and try force-attaching it. Still doesn't show up in Play Store and if I get it's link open externally still has the black bar over the area where update / open / uninstall should be

[Resolved] [Q] Can I move these Apps from System to User ?

Hi guys! So I just wanted to ask If I can move these Apps (without any problems) from system to user apps?..
. Google Camera + Gallery
. Gmail
. Google Maps
. Google Play Services
. Google Play Store
. Google Search
. Google Text to Speech Engine
. Hangouts
. Youtube
. SuperSU
Thanks for your attention!
Yes I believe you can. Go on play store and download an app called root app delete. You can do many other things like uninstall system apps. Change names, icons, etc.
Even if something goes wrong, it is very easy to push the apk back to /system, fix permissions and reboot, so go ahead!

There is this spreadsheet and other sources around the forum, but I would use a Custom ROM like Darthstalker 7 which already has bloatware removed.

Just copy the apk back to /system/app and then change their permissions to match the permissions of the other apps (I can't remember what the exact permissions are) and reboot and the app will be back in system and should work fine.

How ??
If you use a root file manager there will be an option to change the permission of a file that you select. Just press and hold the file and select change permission. I use es file explorer for example.
