Multiple App Install in Google Play Store...

I just stumbled upon a nifty little feature that I don't remember seeing mentioned anywhere before. At first, I thought it was an Android "L" developer preview feature, but low & behold, I just tried it on my HTC One & sure enough it is live there as well.
At any rate, I am curious when Google implemented this feature? I don't know if it was in one of the many GMS/Play Store updates, or if it has been there all this time & I just missed it somehow.
Give it a try, if you haven't. Just go into apps, select the "all apps" tab & long press any app that is not installed already. It will put the device into multiple selection mode, where you can select & install multiple applications much easier than selecting individual apps & pressing install for each one. Sure, it's not as easy as using TB or another backup utility, but for those of us that are bumping between KK & Android "L", where most system & data restore apps don't work yet due to context changes, it definitely saves a little time.
I am interested to know if you can do this on any JB or ICS device too. Try it out & let me know.

I think it was implemented some updates ago, not many but. 2-3 back I think.
It doesn't matters what OS version you have, Play Store and Services go on their own way so I think anyone can get it.
Greetings!

I've discovred this when i changed my nexus mid-may.

Anyone knows if this works on JB,ICS...?

[apps] [g tools] 12/3/14

FOR ALL ROOTED ROMS
This thread may eventually hold multiple apps related to general tools for the G3. I am happy to take suggestions on future apps that we can all use that we might find interesting. My apps are going to have a simple bare bones layout with no bells or whistles. I can't develop everything in the world but I will give it a try.
TEMPS apk
Temps is simple lightweight app that gives a data readout of all temp sensors within the G3. All data is listed per zone and refreshed every second for an accurate reading. Please don't ask me what each zone designation is. I simply don't know, and its not listed anywhere to my knowledge. The purpose of the app is simply to collect data. Nothing more.
I made it for some testing I was doing and figured maybe somebody else might have a use for it.

System Sampler application
REQUIREMENTS.
Must be rooted.
Set SeLinux to Permissive.
System Sampler is a tool to allow you to sample data deep in the system. It's great for developers and Android enthusiasts who have an interest what's happening in real time.
FEATURES.
- Adjust sampling time from 1-10 seconds.
- Set file permissions if needed to read data.
- Status bar readout viewable in any screen.
HOW TO USE.
1. Enter the file path in the box located at the top of the screen.
2. Turn on the sampling button.
3. If you are unable to read the file, use the "chmod" button to set file permissions to 777 and try again.
TIPS.
It's much easier to copy and paste the file path using the "getFilePath" application. Get it here..https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.fro9.android.app.getfilepath
POSSIBLE ISSUES.
This is a beta release!
System Sampler was built on Tasker and has only been tested on my LG G3. That being said, their may be issues with different devices with screen resolutions and the status bar readout.

Should I keep using these Chinese phones? (Doogee, BlackView)

I bought 2 Chinese smartphones: One is from a company called "Doogee", and the second is called "BlackView"
The Doogee one came with many weird apps preinstalled, so I installed Malwarebytes, and it detected 2 malwares. Both removed. After a day, Malwarebytes prompted me that a malware app is trying to install itself (one of those I removed!) - So I stopped using this phone. Hopefully did not risk too much of my personal information (passwords, emails, etc).
Meanwhile, the other Chinese phone I ordered has arrived. Knowing about those security issues now, I immediately installed Malwarebytes, and it detected that the Sound Recorder app is a malware, and is actually using data(?):

@TroyGuard I would recommend to search for a custom rom build from source to get rid of that stock spy roms :good:

@TroyGuard
personally I wouldn't use them but as you have bought phones you probably want to.
Though on twitter recently Elliot Alderson (@fs0c131y was asking for such phones to analyse, he'd probably be happy to get one!
So If no custom ROM then you should be able to freeze those apps, system or preinstalled, that are risky or unknown (though they often come back, so freeze normally better). If you read the recent threads you will find links to a number of ways to do this, eg using TWRP, ADB, apps like Debloater etc which may work on those phones
WARNING: be careful freezing system apps, freezing an essential app can make your phone unusable, check online first if in doubt
Change all your passwords after this is done, to be safe.
(though there is still the possibility of a hardware backdoor , but I've not seen any reports of this.)
(Note: you probably won't get automatic OTA updates anymore as the ota updater is often part of the problem, besides you would have to refreeze apps after new install, but might be worth updating manually if it gives you important security patches)

Hi there,
I'm so glad I came across your post. I've been trying to figure out how this feature works in my unrooted Lenovo M10 HD 2ndGen tablet. I see it in Settings/Sound/Sound Enhancement with only one solitary setting and when enabled, nothing changes. Sound is what it has always been, the same, then and now. I've had my tablet for a year now. My question is how does this feature work ? What does BesLoudness require in order to work ? I have disabled certain features of my tablet for security and privacy reasons, for the same reason, some apps are disabled like Maps, Social Media apps. I have also disallowed certain permissions for certain apps that I felt no need to allow since I never used the feature the permission was required for. Somewhere along the way I might have disabled certain settings, or disallowed permissions that unknowingly rendered BesLoudness not to work.
This BesLoudness Volume Booster for Speakers has stumped me for a year now. Thank you for reading this.

[Huawei GMS] TWOYi open-source alternative to Gspace or VMOS

I dislike the popular replacement solutions for GMS as they aren't open-source and some are full of ads.
The closed-sources software I reffer: SandVXposed / SlimVXposed, VMOS, VPhoneGaga, GSpace and some other variants based on, newer, closed source variant of VirtualApp.
So, here it comes Twoyi.
Twoyi will run a container version of Android, fully editable, a top of existing OS. It's similar to VirtualXposed (same author), only that let you customize OS, support GMS, root, etc. .
The public OSS release variant on Github version is outdated at 0.5.4 and got screen tearing problems.
Latest released version is > 0.7.X can be found in the Chinese CoolApk and works fine.
Don't worry, the menu is in English. You can install GMS from the menu inside the app.
The source is not yet released for latest version.
What lacks is ability to create app shortcut on Home Screen, so you need to open the Twoyi in order to access GPlay or other apps.
Performance comparasion using Geekbench 5: TwoYi - 2281, Native - 2337. The drop is insignifiant.
Tested on Huawei Matepad 10.4, HarmonyOS 2.0, Android 10.
Discussions on Telegram, other media and chat.
This is not my app, and it's still doesn't have a proper OSS for latest version, but at least developer seems to be active.
Still don't recommend to use it for accounts that you want to remain secure.
