Is it possible to disable this app without rooting?
It is too limited and I use a much better app for tags, but every time I scan a tag I have to choose between Magic Tag and the app I actually use.
I cannot disable Magic Tag in "settings - app" nor is there an option for selecting a default tag reader.
I hate it when manufacturers do not allow deleting or at least disabling their useless bloatware.

Need root, you can't even disable it.

Is there a way to batch enable/disable this for all apps WITHOUT having to manually click each app?
There was a root app called Market Autoupdate Bulk Toggle but it was taken down from the android market due to obvious reasons. I'm not so sure if it works anymore yet a simple Google Search may help you find a download link.

Titanium Backup has such function hidden under Menu / More / Market Updates.
Not sure if its active in the free version, definitely works in Pro.
hi, I have been reviewing various bootup type apps (autorun manager, startup manager [no ICS support?], etc) to try to find one that just prevents an app from loading (until i need it and start it manually of course) as opposed to killing the app when it tries to load during boot (which, i seems to be what many of these autorun kinda apps do).
So i was wondering if there is an app that prevents selected apps from starting at bootup. Any ideas would be appreciated!
Cheers,

Look up vault apk root. In google. It freezes apps fully. Its not in the play store. And doesn't work on ics

Check out System tuner in the play store. I have the paid pro version and it allows me to disable apps on startup, not sure if its in the free version. But if you can, buy it, it has tons of options and is a fantastic app.

I use autorun manager, romtoolbox by jrummy has it too as does Gemini app manager
Try to use ES File Manager. It's free and lots of functionality.
Agree with imppy, has worked a treat for me. Requires root.
Check out "Autostarts"

ROM Toolbox Lite
Auto Start Manager
Control apps that run on start-up by enabling or disabling them. Enable or disable any broadcast receiver for any app.
So, you can disable an app's startup at boot and then enable it whenever you want. Persistent across reboots.
Not like freezing, unfreezing, and then having to start the app. And then repeating before each reboot.
Autostarts looked good enough for me to buy it, question to those of you using it; How much can you disable? Has there been any crashes or issues that seem tied to this? If i disabled all of the autostarts would my phone still be fine or would it seriously mess with things

Some apps are mantatory for system's good health, so be carefull what you are disabling.
In general, you can disable from autostart, every non system application...
Most apps I tried simply disable the "on boot completed" trigger, but that's not always enough.
Many apps bypass the boot trigger by autostarting on other events which happen when you boot your phone, like activating data or WiFi, mounting your SD card, etc. Some apps autorun "on time tick," which happens every minute.
Gemini App Manager has more autostart toggles than anything else I tried. ROM Toolbox Lite is a good runner-up.
I'm wanting to make an app that when you scan an NFC tag it takes you into the app and you can enter a weight or whatever data for the specific item the tag is stuck to
Is this a simple task to do for a novice?

Hiya,
My question is the title.
I am using a device with Android 8.0.0
I want to allow only one single specific app use of mobile data. Any other app and unnecessary process that does not help that app to do Internet working want to strictly block, no background data no nothing.
Is this possible? How do I do this? I need to make sure it is implemented as strictly as possible and that it works in real life.
Thanks!

I'm not sure that is completely possible other than restricting background data and then, if you have root, using something like Greenify or a similar app to freeze the apps of your choice.
NOTE:
You will not be able to restrict data to the important system apps that are required for the device's basic function, such as Google Play Services and other apps that are deeply a part of the system. If you try cutting them off, your device will not function properly, it will cause system apps to constantly crash/force close and/or cause a bootloop the next time you boot your device.

Thank you for taking the time and effort to help me so far. I respect that.
By restricting background data, do you mean to turn on "Data Saver"?

No, I mean, go to system settings>apps.
Then choose an app that you want to restrict, tap on that app on the list of applications in settings, then you should the app's info page with a list of options, tap on the one that says data usage, then you should see the option to restrict background data for that app.
You'll have to do that for each app that you want to restrict.
But, the "restrict background data" setting does not completely block it from using data, that's why I suggested that your device be rooted so you can use something like Greenify to freeze your apps, then they won't even be running, which means they won't use any data while frozen.

I have been using Greenify without root.
Is there any advantage(s) to using Greenify with root?
Thanks again.

Yes, it can do much more with root, honestly, it's almost pointless to use Greenify without root. It was built for the purpose of using root.

On my note 9 I had a fantastic app that would let me disable specific services, broadcast receivers, activities or the entire app.
I can't remember what it was called but it's definitely not package disabler pro.
Also this app didn't require adb or root.
Any help would be appreciated.

Unfortunately not.
The UI was very simple. White background like package disabler but when you clicked it app it would show tabs for each section (services receivers etc) and you could individually disable parts of the app without disabling the app itself.
I feel like an idiot for not backing it up. I found it like a week before I switched to a note 10+
Well I found the app but it doesn't do what I need anymore because the dev was "sick of dealing with Samsung".
It was ccswe. Do does anyone know an alternative that can disable broadcast receivers, services etc without root? I know it's possible and there must be a working app out there.

Would NetGuard be what you're looking for? There's an XDA post about it
Are you rooted?
Ice box is another good app to use to freeze system services
