[Q] Preferred way to "freeze" without using TiBackup?

Yes, I'm aware that TiBackup has the ability to "freeze" apps on an su-enabled phone. This question is what is the preferred method of disabling the running of an installed app on a temp-rooted (but not su-enabled) phone.
I've seen that the PackageManager can be envoked to enable/disable installed apps:
pm enable PACKAGE_OR_COMPONENT
pm disable PACKAGE_OR_COMPONENT
as well as some posts that rename the .apk to .apk.bck or the like.
Are there any downsides to using pm for this?

Need open market or similar apk

I dont know the name of application . But that app can help me change store of market( for example: if you're in Vietnam but you want your market is for T-mobile user, you will use that app to change the store of market)
So could any one can give me that name of app or give me the apk of that?

And here is the link for the App, I imagine you could open this in your phones browser and install the APK straight from your downloads/phone.

There is a modified play store app on xda somewhere that disables apps from even checking for updates so there is no automatic d/l's but for the life of me I can find it. I had it on my old d3 that just died but didn't have a backup of it. If u find it b4 I do PLEASE post a link or something

Titanium Backup will do it, but you need the Pro version. ROM Toolbox will also do it.

i have pro, and no it doesnt. its supposed to but it still has the option to update whenever i go into the play store.
you can detach it from the market but it doesnt actually do anything

when you download an app, make sure you do not click the automatic download, and it shouldn't automatically update. IT will ask if you want to, but not do it automatically.
you can also on your phone, slide screen to the "all" page, and right column there is a circle with a dash through (the universal "NO" sign). Click on that and it will remove it from your download history. This may help as well.
:cyclops:

Rom toolbox will also let you break links. I have used it to break apps from Amazon to use after I deleted their app. Maybe that app will work. Never tried it to not update an app.

just to clarify, its not setup to automatically download. in the list or available updates, when you select "update all", this is where the problem is. i want to get it out of that list so i can just use that button. rom toolbox requires pro to break market links and i dont want to buy it just for that.
goldsmitht- what is that second thing you mentioned? ive never seen something like that

He is talking about the "remove from my apps" option on the play store, when your viewing your installed apps you can swipe the screen from right to left and you will see all the apps associated with your Google account. There is a little circle with a dash through it like goldsmitht mentioned, you can touch the circle and remove apps from your Google account. But it won't allow you to do it if the app is installed so you would have to save the apk then uninstall the app, remove it from your account from the play store like goldsmitht mentioned, then side load the apk and you will have the app installed and it won't show up in the play store.

Make sure "unknown sources" is checked in settings>security before installing the apk.

The app store will still detect that app the next time he enters the store and put back in the list

[Q] Startup Manager - Programs still run

I have installed 'Startup Manager (Free) v4.7' and disabled a heap of User and System apps that I just don't use, or think need to be running at startup. I believe this will help the device run better by way of using less RAM and processor to keep it running in the background, in the same way that this works on a Windows based system.
However, it seems some apps run regardless. As an example, I have disabled 'GMail' and 'Email' because I use another app for my email. When a new email is received in my Gmail account, I get a Gmail notification (as well as from my main email app). Drives me nuts!
For good measure, I have also tried running 'Startup Cleaner 2.0', which I also have same disabled/applied.
What am I missing here?

Bump, and I'm looking for recommendations for a good startup manager as well. Autostarts hasn't been updated in ages, and I'm wondering if there's something better than "startup manager", my current go to.

Since u dont use them, get tb and delete them.
personally i use greenify to hibernate apps and prevent them from working. u can download it from playstore.
cheers

Some of these programs I do use, less regularly, but I feel it would help speed my phone up if that went running till I need them... Using less resources.

Since android uses "intents"
then a "startup manager" and task killers do no good at all.
You must disable the intents for each application that keeps starting it.
se
Go check out Autostarts
If you don't want to buy autostarts then you can do it from the command line or you can help me develop these features in the tool in my signature.
Also #Fear 's idea is a good one.

Besides Autostarts I would DEFINITELY go check out the xposed module called BootManager.
It will help you with these.

Try using Greenify it will help......

Virus?????

I've had the s6 since it came out. Never had a problem until about a month or so ago. I keep getting these pop ups and whatnot on my screen saying that my phone is infected and I need to download *that* app to remove the virus. I know never to do that. I have factory reset the phone several times to no avail. It usually runs great for a few days then the pop ups started again. I have downloaded a few virus scan apps and they all say there is no virus...... frustrated, please help.

More pics

I am running stock with the latest firmware. I am using textra as well.

Just don't trust. They are advertisement. They wanted you to install their bloatware so called "Antivirus" app.
These are just creative ads. google has nothing to do with it as you can see in the address bar.
One more thing there is no such thing as virus in Android because it is linux bases OS.

If you are rooted then install adaway to block ads.
Or you can just block popups from chrome settings.
