[Q] No Task Manager? - Verizon HTC One (M8)

Maybe i'm blind but can't find any type of HTC task manager on this device? Had it on stock ATT HTC One X+ device. I'm new to Verizon, switched specifically for this device and better deal with service so this is all new to me here.
Just seems odd zero task manager installed at all. Never had to use a third party, any recommendations? Thanks
I see in Settings, App manager, you can scroll right to Running apps and manually tap and stop. Anyway to have these apps NOT become active after a reboot? I'm spoiled and use to root and greenify and what not. Never use apps like Verizon Cloud, Verizon messages, NFL, etc.

Facebook app uses 48mb just for push services? Already have half the ram used up and only using mandatory apps running except Facebook, Messenger, GSam Battery Monitor, AppLock, Dropbox (all except Facebook and Messenger only use maybe 5-10mb each).

Closest I can find is by pressing the recent apps button and clicking the four square icon in the top right. That's typically the most we'll get w/o root apps

Yeah that's a shortcut to what I described. So no matter how many times I turn off, force close, etc the Verizon and Amazon apps they seem to still run on their own. Awesome

Go into settings, apps, all, click on some of the bloat ware and click disable. Removes it from the task manager for me. Also do you have this at the bottom of your apps list? I'm referring to the one with the foreign characters.

I just did that. Basically unchecked notifications and disabled all Verizon, Amazon apps. Going to reboot now and see if they still start up on their own and if there any issues disabling all these? New to this stuff.
Yes I noticed that too just now. Not sure what it is for?

True. I mainly like to hold off as long as I can until I have to root. As much as I like tinkering with Android stuff I always have that time period where I'm not willing to mess with my new$600 phone. After that period I just go flash happy.

Damn well disabling all Verizon bloatware and Amazon crap did something. I have gallery lock lite to hide personal pics/vids from the stock gallery app. I have the pics and vids saved on external sd card from previous device so these are not saved on internal.
Well now they are all visible again in stock gallery app like I never hid them. They also show inside the gallery lock app.

I had vaulty app before which worked great but on this device does not hide stuff. Not sure if it's a kit Kat 4.4.2 thing or what? Seems odd after reboot they are all visible again in gallery app though. Damnit. More reason to root! Can't even have private photos on my sd card, WTH?

Android Device Manager rolling out!

Not sure how this happened but I've now got Android Device Manager under settings, device administrator.
The other day my phone had a hissy fit, restarted and went into "safe mode" and then after restarting had reset all the Widgets and task bar to stock (lost all my folders etc) checked here this morning and had the option to activate!

Hey,
I think it's not been activated by Google just yet - that's what I've been reading.. though it should up active soon.
Interesting, I can see it too; it's probably somehow been enabled there, but the actual functionality behind it won't appear until it's fully released.

ADM is now live and working. See here for info and here for thread
I'm sure Google will add plenty of nice features for this but it's just absolutely ridiculous how you can't locate your phone unless you physically have your GPS on. What if, like me, GPS is only ever turned on when I need it. Useless if it got stolen (luckily I use Where Is My Droid aswell...)

ADM may be revolutionary for Nexus/pure devices but Samsung Dive/Find My Mobile has been doing the same thing (and more) for at least two years. Google could re-package dog crap as a "feature" and people would go nuts where the manufacturers have been doing some pretty cool stuff that gets overlooked, criticized, or taken for granted.

The problem is Samsung features like the one you described are often hidden under a stale and flowless user interface.
Thouchwiz is a weakness that Samsung must fix.
In light of the UI changes being made both Apple and Google... Samsung needs to do some major work.

And you think finding ADM under "Security>Device administrators" on the device and in a "store" under "settings" on a PC is supremely fresh and intuitive? The latter seems like a kludge either because Google was too lazy to create a dedicated site for ADM or it was cheaper/faster just to throw it in to Play because that’s where all their device management already takes place.
This is where Find My Mobile's controlled on the device. Pretty simple and straight-forward to me.

I think the features in TW are great; it's one of the reasons I buy Samsung devices. I agree that the appearance of TW is dated and could use an overhaul to make it more contemporary. Sense is a beautiful (but functionally deficient) overlay in my opinion. I think stock Android is a barren wasteland aesthetically and functionally. Comparing it to iOS is a really big stretch. Now that a GE SGS4 exists those that hate TW don't have to continue to attack it.
Touchwiz isnt the problem AT ALL. The problem is samsungs software only works on touchwiz. This works on just about everything, and as featureless as it might be at the moment, it wouldnt take google long to catch up if they wanted to.

[APP]App Hypnotist | Save battery and clean notification without root

We know how background apps bothered you. That’s why we develop App Hypnotist.
App Hypnotist is a light but powerful background app clearing application. By killing unnecessary apps running in the background WITHOUT ROOT, it helps reduce battery consumption, decrease your mobile data usage and clear annoying ads & notifications.
It is a fabulous background app killer; It is an efficient power saver and network data saver; It is an effective android ad blocker.
Features:
- Clear background Apps
Android devices usually run too many services in the background. App Hypnotist is specialized for killing the apps that you are not using.
- Save power and network data
Unnecessary app services running in the background drain your battery and keep synchronization automatically. App Hypnotist saves battery and network data usage by stopping the service of these apps.
- Block Ads and notifications
After all the background apps are hypnotized, the annoying ads and notifications will not pop up any more.
Highlights:
- Without Root
Forget about all the complicated procedures when getting root. You can use this app as soon as you download it.
- Light but Fabulous
It is simple but clean. You will never get lost in this beautiful app.
And it is perhaps the most amazing power saver as it works like a charm but only takes 2M on your phone.
- Whitelist Option
What if I don’t want to miss important notificaitions?
Never mind. You can receive notifications from an app instantly after you add it to Whitelist.
Any problems please feel free to contact us. Your feedback is highly appreciated!!
Get the awesome app on Play Store!

It just 2M.
Interesting app. It seems to be working, but you should probably add a way to cancel hypnotizing in action. It redirects Settings to the app while in action so I can't access it.

Kindly put an option to white list apps manually. I see that whatsapp has been put in the white list by default. I use profile flow to automatically switch between profiles, it stops working once it's hypnotized.

Can someone mod the Samsung Browser?

I have the Verizon S7 Edge so don't have the Samsung browser pre-installed.
You can't install the apk either as the app will force close unless it is placed in the system/app folder. (Which I can't because there is no root)
Is there anyone that can or is willing to mod the Samsung browser so that it can be sideloaded?
I'd just use another browser dude. I use lightning+ it's lightweight, has ad blocking, has amoled mode, and allows you to change rendering mode (I use inverted grayscale for text heavy sites like news and forums).

The Samsung browser feels much more optimized than chrome and has built in ad blocking so it's been great. But I also sent hate how new tabs open in the foreground so annoying.

Cool story bro.
I like this browser, other than the fact on my Vodafone UK S7E, I can't stop it from using Vodafone's webpage as my homepage. No matter what I set it to in the settings it gets ignored. I removed it using Titanium Backup and looked for it on Playstore but it doesn't show up. I had to download it from somewhere else in the end, reinstalled and now it works fine.
I love to give it a try if I can migrate / sync my Chrome bookmarks / browsing history over.

Huawei's P30 Optimiser/Optimizer App Removal

Hey Guys,
I am finding the Optimiser app to be stopping notifications from coming up on some apps, such as pushbullet, messaging to some extent, and so on until i open the app.
It seems the huawei battery optimisation is pretty aggressive. I went through a discovery process years ago with battery optimiser apps that from what I understood, basically boiled down to them being unnecessary for most devices at that version of android.
My question is, can I remove the huawei optimiser app using ADB, is it safe to do so? I don't want to individually have to tell the optimiser app to not optimise each app as I download them. I just want to remove the optimiser and be done with it, but i also still want to know batterybusage of apps etc if they get out of control and android isnt natively dealing with them properly then id like to remove them.
Thoughts on this, anyone?
Thanks very much,
Good question, it's also seem to be very resources hungry. I had to keep mine because I need to for maintaining my existing call block lists.

You can't have both, you can kill power genie and have all apps run as they were intended, OR you can have per app battery use stats, killing power genie will break that function

Personally it's a small price to pay to fix everything else and makes no difference to battery life

Yea, WhatsApp point blank refused to give me any notifications at all unless I opened the app, tried absolutely everything related to the battery/launch etc settings, nothing worked, it's because power genie has a white list of apps that are allowed to run in the background and you cannot edit that list
Thankfully killing PG was nice and easy and ended my months of annoyance of missing messages

I adb uninstalled Optimiser App, it took a good few things with it also including ability to block black listed numbers that I had have stored and also the battery menu I think in settings also disappeared completely.
You can see what the Optimiser app is running system app wise , under developer option then running services. It's the 2nd Android system with mutiple processes running. I turned off virus checker but it still seems to be running as you can see.

Ah right with you now, only sounds like blocked numbers might be a pain to lose really, not had any issues with the optimizer app though
Noticed any improvements since killing it ?

Ah right with you now, only sounds like blocked numbers might be a pain to lose really, not had any issues with the optimizer app though

No, I didn't have it uninstalled long enough to verify. I needed my block call list.

T-Mobile keeps reinstalling apps on my phone.

I've removed T-Mobile app selector, it's supposed to be used to install apps when after a factory reset or new phone setup. Over the last few weeks I've noticed it keeps getting reinstalled along with Facebook and T-Mobile Play.
When I look at the settings it shows that it was installed from com.tmobile.pr.adapt
Is anyone else on T-Mobile experiencing this?

Chrome was doing the same thing. I used a Package Disabler to put a stop to it. The com.tmobile.pr.adapt is another I always disable too.
Does the package disabler work if you're not rooted?

You don't need root or have to do any adb command. There are two Package Disabler Pro and CCWSE.

Something interesting came up. I bought Package Disabler pro and it seems to be working, at least in my app tray and under installed apps.
The strange thing is they keep coming back in the secure folder even when uninstalling them from the secure folder but they aren't in the app drawer or programs.

I personally don't use secure folder so not sure why they would keep coming back to it. Maybe enable the offending apps, clear the cache and data from secure folder, reboot and then disable the offending app and set up secure folder again.
I looked into data usage and com.tmobile.pr.adapt is using 163mbs of data each month.
I restricted data access to it, let's see if that stops it from reinstalling.

I always disable that one too. It's a T-Mobile diagnostic app the let's them know if you've rooted your phone. AFAIK not good for anything.
Is this referring to a T-Mobile version or an Unlocked on T-Mobile? I'm using an Unlocked on T-Mobile and don't seem to have this issue.

The reason it keeps installing in the secure folder is because that's an entirely different spot.. Think of it as a different phone basically.. On one phone you have all the apps you use and then on the second phone it's all of your secured folder apps this means you have to install and run the package disabler app in the secure folder too.. At least that's what I think however, I could be wrong here.

T-mobile branded. I would imagine unlocked wouldn't have the app pre-installed.

Did you use package disabler to do this? If not and if you were able to do this straight from the phone's settings can you describe the steps involved? Thanks!

No, to disable data usage you can go into programs select it and restrict data. That alone didn't seem to work for me and I'm using package disabler too.
