Thanks for this!

I just made some minor adjustments including adding a few new language filters. Currently here is the breakdown of languages:
English: 130,886 apps
Chinese: 2,099 apps
Japanese: 1,433 apps
Korean: 1,249 apps
French: 808 apps
Spanish: 800 apps
German: 708 apps
The language is determined by running a language detection API against the app descriptions and titles. As far as I know this is the only app that lets you subscribe to apps by language.

After uninstalling this App i'm having major problems with my regular Market. All the new apps are gone. Not a single app that i recognize. All the Apps seem to be extremely outdated and are "test" apps. Anyone know whats going on here and possible fixes?

This is strange. The app doesn't touch any settings pertaining to the actual market app. It's completely self contained and accesses data only on the Hawkee severs.

confused on how to use this app?
I need some help understanding what this is, what it does, and how to use it.
Is it a second marketplace that is intended to replace the google marketplace?
If yes then I take it to mean that this app's intended use to to search, download, install, and maintain the apps on your phone?
Is this app intended to be used in conjunction with the google marketplace?
If yes then in what ways: searching, sorting, etc?
Is information shared between this app and the google marketplace? For exmaple if you can download apps from this app then do the downloaded apps also show up as being downloaded in the google marketplace?
The above are some of the questions I was thinking but if when replying you can think of other useful advice and info you want to share in how to use the app that would be appreciated.

Yes this can replace the market in terms of finding new apps. The point of this is to find good, new apps and closely monitor the market. It provides more advanced filters to find specifically what you want. It doesn't scan your apps and offer suggestions. That isn't the goal of this app.

Sorry, I missed the update to your post. The app actually sends you to the market when you choose an app, so yes the downloads count. This app only replaces the searching and browsing process. No data is shared between the two apps.

I just fixed a bug with the price drops not being detected properly. This was a server side fix so no need to update the app.

I was wondering if I could get some feedback on the name of this app. It's a different concept so I had a hard time coming up with a descriptive name. Some other ideas I had were Hawkee App Subscribe, Hawkee Market Subscribe, Hawkee App Monitor, or Hawkee Market Monitor.

Once i installed this app i cannot access the "downloads" section in my regular market. it either says theres no connection, or it force closes. Ive tried uninstalling Hawkee, wiping market data, uninstalling/reinstalling regular market, rebooting.....nothing is fixing this problem, which is obviously a major one

This seems to be unrelated. Did you recently upgrade your market app? This app doesn't have any connection with the market app. It only sends you there when you pick an app.
Sent from my Incredible

Nope my last market update was last week. i was browsing my downloads earlier today to check for application updates which i normally do.
i understand that you want to preserve the reputation of your app, and i can respect that. however it seems like a distinct possibility that this app caused this problem. earlier in this thread another poster claimed that this app had an effect on his market, as well.
this is not a personal attack, and there obviously is a chance that both of these incidences are coincidence. but it doesnt sound like it. you may want to look into it, since this app is now public on the forum, youd definitely rather have 2 complaints than several. just a little advice, it doesnt hurt to check, rather than simply sweeping it under the rug.
all i know and can say, aside from i love the idea of your app, ever since installing my market has been malfunctioning, even after a system install/uninstall.

TopShelf, Thanks for the response. I'm sorry to sound like I was so easily dismissing your problem, but I'm on my laptop now and can look into this more thoroughly. I researched the issue you described and came up with this thread:
http://www.google.fm/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=5f475fcdfcc22233&hl=en
The conclusion seems to be that it's a problem on Google's end. People were pointing out a few apps that, when uninstalled, fixed the problem temporarily. But it seems there is no permanent fix yet. Some people suggested installing AppBrain in order to update your apps, but that's certainly not a long term solution.

[JB][ICS][GB][CM10/10.1]LBE privacy Master V4 - : How Safe Is Your Private Data?

Guys,
Android has an excellent array of security apps to protect you against threats of malware and viruses. But in my opinion, privacy issues are a far greater concern. Thanks for the user zagzag99 who translated it in English from Google Translator.
What permissions and elements of my phone are newly installed apps using? How safe is the private data I store on my phone? This was a gap in my knowledge that I wanted to fill – and LBE Privacy is a great tool for this job.
The app protects my privacy, and safeguards services that could cost me money if the wrong apps gained control of them. It does all this with a beautiful and intuitive interface.

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
LBE Privacy has a well-designed interface with a simple colour scheme of white and blue. At the forefront of the design is a welcoming main screen displaying the Internet, Privacy, Money, Applications and Settings options.
This great design found through the app makes using it easier and more intuitive – but more than that, it helped me, psychologically, to trust it; the fact they’ve thought out the design makes me feel more comfortable with the app, and lets me assume that the code behind the scenes is also well-designed.
LBE Privacy Guard’s/master privacy offerings were the main draw for me; while the ROM I run (Cyanogenmod) already allows me to decide what permissions to grant apps, it’s nowhere near as powerful or easy to use as LBE Privacy Guard/Master.
This app lets you restrict access to SMS, Contacts, Call Logs, Positioning, and your Phone ID. By default, when an app on your phone attempts to use one of the previously mentioned permissions on your phone LBE Privacy Guard/Master will ask you whether to allow it or not.
For those of you interested, there is also an events log showing the history of requests by all the apps on your phone.
Money​
This function of LBE Privacy Guard/Master protects your pocket! It blocks apps from accessing permissions that could cost you money: SMS and the ability to make phone calls. This section also appears in the aforementioned event log.
By default, all non-system apps are set to prompt you when requesting access to such features. Although this wasn’t a feature I was looking out for, I feel now that its quite an important one and something I should have wanted much earlier.
Application Monitoring​
The section allows you to browse each app on your phone and change the permissions each app has access to. I’ll run through the options for Angry Birds which you can see in the screenshot. The first option, Trust. allows you to automatically allow the app access to everything: SMS, Contacts, Call Logs, Positioning and your Phone ID. It’s also possible to adjust access to these items separately; for instance, to help ensure I don’t go over my download limit I’ve denied a lot of apps access to my Data.
Internet:​
The Internet section of LBE Privacy Guard isn’t really related to privacy, apart from giving you the ability to restrict certain apps from accessing the net. You’ll see a graph showing how much data you’ve used from your plan, as well as your Wi-Fi usage. Once you set a limit for your data plan, LBE Privacy Guard will alert you if you cross 90% of your allocated amount.
The options included are pretty useful: you’re able to set the billing day for the month so the app keeps prefect track of the amount of data you have left on your plan for the billing month, not the actual month! For those of you just installing the app now, there’s also the option to adjust monthly data usage so LBE Privacy Guard is on track from day one.
Settings Available​
The settings area allows you to toggle the different features I’ve already gone through. It’s also possible to turn off notifications – though I find this pretty useful as it shows how much of my data plan I’ve used – and to stop the app starting on boot-up, though in my opinion that’s not something you should do without thinking about first; this app needs to be running all the time to ensure it’s protecting your privacy.
Conclusion
LBE Privacy Guard/Master keeps impressing me the more I use it. Not only has it excelled at guarding my privacy (as its name would suggest), it’s also helped me cut down on my data usage. Thanks to this, I’ll be able to get a cheaper contract in January when my contract needs renewing – so the app has saved me money!
Regarding privacy: be sure to spend a few minutes going through the settings, both overall and for each app, as this is what will make this app so powerful and easy to use. There are many features on offer, so if you’re not interested in some please don’t decide against using this great app – just turn them off. LBE Privacy Guard will keep your data safe.

[APP][WIDGET][4.0+] App Eater: A highly functional uninstaller with useful widgets

App Eater: A highly functional uninstaller with incredibly useful home screen widgets

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
App Eater (Uninstaller) lets you remove unwanted apps right from your home screen, in addition to being a fully functional standalone uninstaller.
Using the widgets, you can uninstall the following without even entering the app:
Last installed app
Last updated app
Most recently used app
Each widget shows the icon of the app you will be uninstalling as well, to make it even more intuitive. Take a look at the screenshots to see what I mean.
Additionally, App Eater is an extremely capable standalone uninstaller, with features including:
Easy access to last installed, last updated, and most recently used apps
List mode to show all apps (including non-application packages like widgets)
Batch uninstall
Silent batch uninstall (rooted devices only- this is an Android limitation)
Uninstall history
Option to show system apps
System app uninstall (rooted devices only- this is an Android limitation)
Disable apps (rooted devices only- this is an Android limitation)
Clear app data and cache (rooted devices only- this is an Android limitation)
Ability to lock apps to prevent their removal from within App Eater or the widgets
Sort by name, install date, update date, size, system/user installed, recently used, disabled/enabled status, and locked status
Reverse sort order
Search all apps for a specific string
Long press to open app, open app info, open Play Store listing, or share app
System storage info displayed
Show app version option
"Apps Eaten" counter to track number of uninstalls with app
More features coming soon!
I want App Eater to replace whatever uninstaller you are using now. Its widget functionality doesn't exist in any other app, and I intend for the standalone uninstaller to be the absolute best in the Play Store. More features are coming soon, but please let me know if you want anything in particular. Thanks, and enjoy!
Screenshots:

I've uploaded the APK for those who prefer to install manually. Thanks, and enjoy!

I have added a first-time start-up tutorial for those who didn't quite understand certain features like app locking. Enjoy!

Does this app can uninstall the app/s completely include cache, data & so on?

Thank you. Will try it out.

Features l like to see!!
Look great app features l like to see!!:good:
- Apps freezer
- Uninstall system applications
- Backup date/system apps+data apk to sdcard
- Restore backed up applications
- Sync to/from Dropbox

An article I read said this can remove bloat ware system apps, insinuating without root. Is this right ? Thought that would be impossible

The way it works (as do most uninstallers) is that the app tells the system it wants to uninstall an app. Then the system then takes over (displays the "OK/Cancel" dialog and actually uninstalls it.
If I have an app that has data or cache, and I uninstall it and reinstall it, then all the data and cache seems to be gone. I have only tested this on a handful of apps, so there might be some that are not cleared. If you have any examples, I will be glad to take a look.
I am planning on adding rooted uninstall features (which removes the app manually), and I will look into having this as an option. Thanks for your interest!

I will look into freezing apps. I've never used it, but it seems like a good feature to have.
You can only uninstall system apps if you are rooted. I am currently working on this functionality.
I'm not sure that I want to add backup/cloud functionality, as it seems somewhat tangential to uninstalling apps. There are some power-user apps that can already do that, as others have mentioned. If demand is high, I'll look into it.
I am also planning on adding a feature that will keep a list of your uninstalled apps, and direct you back to the Play Store to reinstall them if you change your mind.
Thanks for the feedback!

I tried it out and I see what you mean now. Unfortunately, this is just bad design on the part of the makers of PicsArt. There is a way for apps to use a private file directory that will be deleted automatically when the app is uninstalled, but instead PicsArt opted to use the general sdcard storage, which is not tied to any app. For example, if an app writes to a folder called "Pictures," it's probably not a good idea to delete it when the app is uninstalled, since other apps might use the same folder. Trying to solve this problem would likely open up a whole mess of potential issues that I think the general user shouldn't have to deal with, so I don't think App Eater is the right place for it.
I found an app called SD Maid which can find folders that aren't needed anymore, but it was not able to automatically detect this one in particular. Maybe you'll find it useful, though.
The internal "data" and "cache" for the app does get cleared using App Eater, though. You can see this by checking Settings>Apps>PicsArt after reinstalling and before opening the app.

Oh ok, so its from the developers, and picarts has designed to doesnt delete internal data even it has been uninstalled.
I have used it, but sometime detects false positive. Probably still use old database.
Ok, keep update this app.

OK, I understand now. Reading your post again, I wonder if you meant the actual app icon, and not the widget design. I will look into allowing for alternative app icons (I don't know if this is technically possible from within the app), but I am hesitant to change the icon design outright, since as the app grows in popularity it's important to maintain familiarity.
I will definitely look into alternative widget designs, though, if that's what you meant.
Thanks!

App to Defrost->Run->Freeze other apps?

I have lots of apps that I use maybe once a month, lot of them like to boot with the system or keep running doing god knows what.
I'd like an app that'd (with a single homescreen shortcut) defrost a previously frozen app, run it, and freeze it back after it is exited (or when i turn the screen off). Simple. This'll hopefully make the phone run better and save battery too, and will definitely reduce clutter.
Is there anything like that available? I've tried multiple apps including Titanium Backup but none seem to offer this functionality.
Edit: Oh and I know of apps like Greenify or Deep Sleep Battery Saver, that's not what I'm looking for to keep the above apps in check.
Thanks

Titanium just uses the built in packagemanager to freeze apps which can also be run in a terminal emulator.

So yeah with tasker for example you could create a shortcut that unfroze the app and then opened the app (although I haven't tested it) and you could set a task when a particular wasn't on screen it would be disabled. The problem would be if you navigated to another app, it would be killed so you might have to put a delay on the disable part ( say 10 minutes) then a clause that prevents it disabling it disabling if it's on screen. (in case you reopen the app)
Could be pretty tricky

In absence of an easier alternative this surely is a great idea. Though a simpler app to create shortcuts for each individual target app would make things infinitely more straightforward, thank you for this suggestion. I'll try it now.

Got it working! Though I must say it's a lot of work for setting up a task for each app, but as proof of concept it worked really well.
And instead of app exit I've set it up to close and disable on screen off.

Ah that makes sense.
Yes it is a pain to set up a task for each app.
You would really only need one task that disables all the apps however,

You're right again, I can bulk disable apps.
While trying to improve the task above I need a Tasker command that can run an app from a variable. I have the app's package name but apparently that's not enough and I also need a main activity class name that varies with each app... Is there a way to run an app with just it's package name available in a Tasker var?

sorry I couldn't help in time, I use app quarantine. Make a widget for app quarantine, then select the app. I use for facebook, instagram, etc. apps that like to datamine in the background when screen is off wasting battery. Tap to defrost, run, then tap again to refrost

What do you mean exactly? What are you trying to do with Variables?
All I would do is have a task that when lauched:
enables package
launches app

Yeah, I've tried this and similar apps, and Titanium Backup can do the same thing (using labels and filters and creating a widget), but all these options bulk enable/disable apps. This is good for their own use cases, but when you want to launch one frozen app without jumping through hoops then they don't work so well. Like when I have lets say 50 apps frozen, then when I enable all I suddenly have 50 more apps in my app drawer and I can't keep a shortcut to the frozen app in a separate folder on homescreen either because they get deleted once you freeze an app.
The way I wanted was a single click shortcut that would unfreeze the app, launch it and then freeze it back when I'm done or screen turns off.
This way I can keep all such shortcuts in a single folder on my homescreen too, and they won't get deleted as they point to the monitor app.

Yeah, I already achieved it, what I'm trying to do is minimize the effort needed to create such task for each app I want to freeze/unfreeze. So I figured I can just provide the task with the app package name in a variable and it does everything but without me needing to provide each command with app package name separately. Now the app freeze and unfreeze commands work fine with just the package name provided in a variable, but for the command that launches the app I'm facing the problem I mentioned - not sure if I was able to explain it any better this time

No I don't really get it. I dont get how it is minimising effort by using a variable. You still have to parse the package name in each variable.

To put it simply it helps the same way variables work in any other programming language: you put the string (package name in this case) in a variable once and all the other commands just reference to the variable instead of putting the app package name in each unfreeze/launch/freeze command.
Now once that is done, I can either
1) make copies of the task for each app and just change the package name in one place and all commands will work just fine, or
2) keep a single task that displays a menu of all the app choices and the one I click will be parsed to the variable and the commands will work on it.
Either way, I wouldn't have to define the package or app at several places in the task/script.

I always love playing with Tasker. It is a truely phenomenal app.
But this is what Greenify was made to do. Why the refusal to use the proper tool for the job? The wheel has already been invented. Why make your own?
You can also use ROM Toolbox to disable the startup receivers of the apps you don't want running on boot. And you can clean out the widget list with it.

Yup, another Tasker fan here
Greenify doesn't freeze apps, so their icon is is in app drawer, they start as they wish (Greenify snoozes them later, but that's different), and Greenify doesn't launch apps. I use Greenify, but it has a different purpose, it is good for everyday apps - the current requirement I have is for apps that are seldom used and I'd like them frozen/disabled till the time their use is needed.
And disabling startup is only part of the problem solved, some have hooks on net being connected etc and whatnot. And cleaning widget menu is worse, it just hides the problem behind the curtain.

Ah I getcha.
Yeah unfortunately you're not going to be able to do that easily. You'd probably have to get clever with grep and logcats, but you'll be puttin so much effort in to make hardly any reductions.
So even if you had variable:
%App1
and could launch it without activity, You have to:
copy the variable to %App2 and enter the package name
copy the task
change the variable reference in the first part of the task (that pm enables)
change the variable reference in the second part that launches the app
That last step is only slightly quicker than manually changing the app in a standard app launch task anyway

You're kinda right, but I think I'll just have to provide the app once to the task, not at multiple places.
See the screenshot, as of now I'm just defining the app in first command, the rest work fine.
Command 4 and 5 is just me messing around with the current problem, no headway yet.

Oh I see. You're setting the variable as the package in the task so you just enter the package once in each task and only have one variable. Bit messy though if you wanted to run 2 apps
Scenario.
Run app1. Apptarget var set
Run app 2. Apptarget var set
Meanwhile task for app 1 is waiting to terminate app 1 but var has changed so will actually terminate app 2, possibly whilst in use.

Wouldn't the problem be solved if I change the variable to local instead of global? Change name to lowercase and the change is made.
Anyway, that is to be worried about later... the current roadblock is bothering me a lot more at the moment
I'd really welcome any ideas on it.

Maybe... You'd have to try it.
It's pointless wasting effort busting road blocks if you've run out of fuel though, sometimes it's simplest to check the tank first and work out your variables.

Probably a long shot, but is there any way to disable it on my Korean Snapdragon variant SM-N986N? Since I'm not in Korea (Philippines here, had to import because I didn't want an Exynos) the feature is useless to me. It's an eyesore on my settings menu and I'm wondering if there's a way to get rid of it.

PD MDM package blocker probably get it.
For an unrooted phone it's the easiest way to go especially if there's other bloatware or apks you want to kill.
Easy to undo if you need it latter.

Will it also get rid of the app being displayed in the Settings menu? That's actually the more annoying part for me, it would've been fine if it's just simple bloatware, but it has to be bloatware that's the 2nd topmost of my settings menu, my latent OCD is triggered.

I use it to block Samsung Device Care. It removes it removes it from the settings menu when blocked.
The block apk doesn't run at boot.
Use a little caution with it though because it's active even in safe mode as it is set as a system administrator.
It never cost me a hard reset in over 2 years of use.
It's the first app I install on the phone...

If it fails get PD MDM, you buy it directly from their website.

Ah really? For future reference, what is their website? I tried googling but I'm feeling unsure since some of the hits I got look shady lol. The Play Store version works but I want to be ready in case I need the PD MDM version.

This is the only one I now trust.

You can use ADB app control to disabled or unistall it. I tried and my phone now like KOO CSC, U+ apps .

That's useful in many cases but some you want to run occasionally like Playstore.
I toggle that along with a couple other blocked apks on the PD MDM widget so I can turn them on and off without going opening PD.
You can also use this on the fly blocking to track down and fix issues with the phone... it's useful.

As advised above, use the ADB AppControl.
It is a handy application manager that will allow you to disable any applications and bloatware. This is a free program, but at the same time it has huge capabilities and works great with Samsung and any other devices.

I am using ADB AppControl for ALL of my android devices right from my computer over the network. Not only for Samsung.
For example, I have disabled many applications on my two Android TVs and now they work much faster. In addition, it is much more convenient for me to use the application manager from my laptop, where I can delete / disable applications in some of mouse clicks.

There's some apks it can't hit but it gets all the bloatware, crap like the infamous AT&T updates and hidden bloatware like the Amazon cookie that you normally can't touch.
Installation and use are simple. Create backups and store them on the SD card and/or as email attachments.
It's a valuble troubleshooting tool that has saved me from reloads. It also can completely clear app data that you can't clear in settings (presumably nulls) and thus can fix system apps that can't be fixed otherwise without a reload.
Learn where to deactivate it if need be. A flashing kernel crash warning is no joke and if you can't disable it you will be doing a reload. Haven't seen this ever happen on the 10+ though.
It's been rock solid stable using little resources and almost no battery.

Just do this
Another way is just do this ..
