Anyone know whats going on here? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

I don't know what I did or what happened but what the hell is this? How did I disable adguard I don't remember disabling anything lol. It better not be Google or Samsung disabling my apps on their own free will.
I have no idea how to fix this and online searching has no answers. I don't even have a package disable installed. Just nova launcher. I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no luck..

you can enable them in playstore, hangouts is always disabled till you enable it in playstore. Who knows why???

Enable what? This app is downloaded outside the play store.

Just an fyi, adhell has a package disabler built into it, check it first before anything else.

Hello. I have received messages like yours sometimes, and they came from Nova Launcher and one of the widgets installed on my main screen. It was a Zooper widget one, that had to open browser when tapping on it, but was not well configured. May be yor issue is the same...

Greenify question

Hey there,
For some bizarre reason Instagram & Facebook do not appear in the list of possible apps to hibernate. Does anyone have an idea of why I cannot add & hibernate these apps?
Many thanks,
Because both are system apps in S6 and you need donate version of greenify
Thanks! Working now with donate version. I should have figured that knowing that they were preinstalled as system apps.
Ty sir!

I'm also using Greenify paid version, but even though I have enabled the system app option, I can't seem to find Chrome in the list. Any idea why?

I think it also needs xposed to let Greenify donated doing this but S6 doesn't has xposed yet.

Yeah, seems like it. Don't know why donation is enough for some system apps, while other system apps also require xposed...
Could have just uninstalled them as system apps and reinstalled through app store boom works.
Donating is always good as well
Whenever I hit to hibernate, it always says there is nothing to hibernate. This was not the case before I factory reset. I can't even tell if greenify is doing anything. I'm not rooted. Any thoughts?

Gboard (Google keyboard) Issue

So I don't know if anyone else really uses Gboard like I do but I've come across this problem that won't allow me to turn on the user dictionary sync in it's settings. I was wondering if anyone else may have come across this issue and found a solution
I was thinking it was just me. I think we would have to disable or remove the Samsung keyboards/dictionary.

Have you tried that yet? I was wondering what it could be honestly. I forget where I read it but something I came across said it was the secure folder that's on the phone
I have not been able to uninstall the samsung keyboard via the normal route ill see if find some info on it.

Alright if you do can you please post it? I've tried what I've seen so far with no luck.
I have the sync enabled. I removed Samsung keyboard with package disabler pro
I was able to put Samsung keyboard back and still sync

Could u possibly explain your process? I've disabled it and nothing is coming back as far as Gboard is concerned? Can you please post a link to the actual app you used? Your process and all. You are on an AT&TO note 8, right?
Obviously I'm missing something...

Yes I've been using that app since before BK app disabler was even out and it's always worked fine for so i see no point in buying BK when it does the same thing and wasting money. To each his own though. I can certainly say if I didn't already own this app by reviews alone i would purchase BK Disabler instead.
All i did was install Gboard, set it up, set it as default, disable Samsung keyboard i honestly never even gave it a thought until i saw your post and when in to check and see if it was syncing or not
App is Package Disabler Pro by policedeveloper
And yes I'm on an AT&T Note 8

Well I disabled Samsung keyboard and it still is grayed out for me for some reason
I'm going to uninstall and start from scratch with BK Disabler and I'll let you know if i can still sync or not
---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------
Yeah installed from play store and didn't even disable the Samsung keyboard and it still has no problem syncing. Sorry i can't be of more help
Forgot screenies
Sync not working is due to secure folder
Hacked N8

I know bro, not only that a lot of people in a lot of threads I've read said that BK has some more interesting features. I really wanted to get it to work and tried hard but I just could not manage to get a hold of both of the app and the engine to install.

Link to the app in play store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ackagedisabler
Note that you'll also need the "BK plugin 2" app to go with it
I'm on ARB7 firmware and have zero problems with BK working as it should. View attachment 4480913

the bk plugin 2 is the problem lol.
if you dont already have it in your app history, it will not allow you to see it in the store.
trust me i tried for hours.
you simply CANNOT gain access to the bk plugin 2 if it's not already in your app history
EDIT: it's possible they reuploaded it, like pdp did. it seems the devs try to stay ahead of the play store by reupping every few days/weeks with minor changes and then google takes it down again.

BK was taken down by the developer due to Samsung. That said the developer provided a work around on their development blog

A bit of work involved but the app works afterwards.

I tried opening both of the APKs direct from that link, but it gave the same error parsing the package.
I downloaded it to my phone, then opened it from there and it worked fine. Followed the instructions and I was able to fully use it.
hi, i formatted my S9+ just when BK Manager and MDM Extension apks were removed from Play Store.
my question is, i have both of these apks files in my storage, will i be able to install them manually and whether the disabler app will still work as it was before? can someone kindly advise?
i have emailed the developer a couple of times asking the same questions, but not getting any response or help and was never my intent to ask for a refund.
File 1. com-kunkunsoft-packagedisabler1515128400
File 2. MDM_Extension_2_Full
as for the time being, is there any other good disabler app that we can use safely? i feel so lost without this app/feature.
thank you.

I followed this but I still can't get it to work. I don't know what I'm doing wrong or maybe it doesn't work anymore? I have recently used adb commands for other apps and they work fine.

The ADB command in the instructions is for a wrong package. You just need to change it to the one in their download link.

I did manage to get this working, but since then I've had a notification pop up on my phone a couple times which makes no sense to me. I'm wondering if this is a side effect of making that app an owner on the phone.
It tells me my phone is a "Managed Device" and that the organization may install software and make changes on the phone without my knowledge or consent.
A) That sounds scary, since I the phone didn't come from an organization.
B) Why is it suddenly popping up and telling me this? It's not asking for permission. It's not even asking me to acknowledge or read it. Just stating it like a fact. It's popped up at least twice over the last 2-3 days.
Any idea what's going on?

It's a response to trying to disable more packages than sammy wants you to. It removes a bunch of features. Sammy's way of trying to get people not to use package disabler.
What I did was disable all I wanted then uninstalled the disabler and it went back to normal with everything still disabled
Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
Is there a list of packages that are safe to disable?
Package Disabler for Samsung is back
App Name : Package Disabler Pro+ (Samsung)
Available in google play store.
That's it. It's a one-click solution to deal with bloatwares.
Nice business model. Release app, complain that google removed it, re-release it and ask people to pay for it again.

[Help] Introduce an app to avoid auto start

Hi, I've got root and xposed installed.
And already have installed amplify, greenify, no wakelock and bootstart manager.
But none of these was able to block an app from auto starting when phone is on.
Yea, it kills the app when you click on the greenifys shortcut, but I dont refer to that, I want an app which can disable the autorun service of the app.
Can anyone introduce a way or an app for that?
Thanks.

You mean an app like autostarts? Which alters the criteria to said apps??
Used to use it years ago but it's still available..
Not a task manager but an actual app that manages changes.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts
Not free but definitely worth a £1
Hope this helps..

Play store

Hello,
My play store keep changing from do not update apps to auto update on wifi.
I have several app that i keep on old version.
How can i block playstore from changing this setting automatically
Thanks for help guys
Playstore is a bloody pain.
Set to auto update to wifi only and disable wifi.
Use ApkExport to copy your apps so you have them.
exactly a real pain... always switching the setting on after set up all stuff.
looking for a solution or a workaround to disable this or disable my apps from auto update

Disable Playstore or Google Play Services (Playstore is dependent on it).
Both constantly running in the background... needed or not.
You will need Google Play Services though for Gmail and other apps occasionally during the day.
Use a firewall to block it.
Use a package disabler.
I use both...
oh thanks will do that on play store. Any good app freezer you recommend ?
For phones other than Samsung this might work:
"Owner App" version from
Home - Package Disabler
The only NON-root solution that let’s you disable any unwanted packages that come pre-installed / installed with your phone / tablet.
www.packagedisabler.com
Karma Firewall from Playstore

I figure out that the play store get default settings after each restart. So something must reset it configuration ... I need to find whom

I'm not sure what's causing that. I can package disable Playstore, firewall block it and it's settings are the same after it's enabled again.
If it's data on the phone is getting cleared on reboot that could do it... 3rd party cleaner or power management.
I don't use Playstore much and all my apps/updates are backed up for reload.
In part because you can't get older versions on Playstore (if the app doesn't disappear entirely) and because Playstore downloads are a slow, tedious pain that use up too much time when reloading.
Don't want Google's junk in my face...
