Sprint gs5, CM-root, TWRP, SDfix...
I have an app which I do not want updates to...
The developer is making changes to the app to fix issues with other brands/models...
The current version works well on mine and I don't want it to update to a version which might break it for my brand/model...
In the playstore I disabled auto-update, but it still shows up in the manual and group update list...
I went into titanium (pro) and detached it from the market and it showed 'attach to market (forced)'
I checked playstore and it is off my app list...
Several minutes later it re-appeared in playstore and titanium went back to 'detach from market'
So the detach function is not sticking...
Any Ideas?

Its been an issue with Titaniium before and appears as it does on your device. Try this:
1) get the Apk you wanna detach (ex using TitaniumBackup) into location you can easily get to (ex. SD card)
2) install ZipSigner from play store
3) re-sign the extracted Apk using ZipSigner and test key
4) uninstall the original app and install the re-signed Apk you made
5) profit
Hi, I realise this is an old post but it's something I've been trying to do for a while too. I've finally accomplished it successfully so I thought I'd share it on in some of the topics.
It works by changing the apk signature so the app typically becomes 'different' to the one on the Google Play Store and therefore doesn't appear in your Google Play Store list. But by doing this, you won't be able to update the app from Play Store.
How to:
Need Root.
First do a TB backup of current apk just to keep it.
With a file explorer, go to root\data\app and copy the app apk that you want to change and paste it somewhere on SD card.
Now uninstall the app
Download and install: ZipSigner by Ken Ellinwood from Play Store.
Open ZipSigner, choose input file and navigate to earlier copied apk
I used key/mode: auto-testkey
Sign the file
The new signed apk will be put in the same directory the original file was.
Now install that signed apk and your're done. Check market.
Worked for me - hope it works for you!

Amazing, Thanks for this.
I am looking for a Custom ROM for galaxy st-5670 with all the stock apps replaced with the alternative apps available on Google Play. I have tried 5 or 6 roms but all of them are with same stock apps with only theme modified. Please recommend a rom.
Thank you.

You'll have to replace the apps manually if you want to use the stock ROM's.. There is a ROM ,though, which is based on CM9 which has keyboard,gallery, browser and music player replaced.
Here is the link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2630039
thank you for your reply.
you said i have to do it manually. how is that?
when i install any app it does not replace the stock app but adds to my mobile. What is the process of replacing these apps.

Method 1: When it adds to ur mobile, use titanium backup app; long press the desired app from apps list & select "convert to system app". Done!!
Method 2: Use Root Explorer app & copy-paste the desired apk to "/system/app". Then set its permission to rw-r--r--. Then reboot the phone. Done!!
★Some apps like Quickpic require u to copy apk's library files to "/system/lib" to actually work as system apps.
Hope this helps...!!
Hello to everyone
I just downloaded the XFA PER for my G935F and I used the "stock" csc which it was over 150mb. I said ok will flash it just to see what it is inside. The installation and booting took a while and when I finished with the setup wizard I saw the batman theme installation. I was shocked. The theme is beatiful and it has many great features. (New AOD style added)
Photos are given.
Take a look and let me know what do you think.
When I find new features I will let you know
I was asked to upload a guide on how you can install the PER firmware with the Injustice theme. You should backup everything since this is going to wipe all of your data. If this is your first time flashing with Odin or you are a newbie, please stay away....... This may be risky for you......
Here is the guide
1. Backup everything since this is going to delete all of your files
2. Download this rom
3. Download Odin 3.11.1
4. Open odin and select the AP to the AP and CP to the CP etc......
4b. Go to the pit section and select the given PIT, because the CSC.tar is very big
4c. Make sure that you have the re-partition button checked
5. Make sure that your device is charged more than 40%
6. Reboot to download mode
7. Flash it
8. When it comes up, force the phone to boot to the recovery and wipe data (this step is essential if you want the special CSC to be applied
9. Reboot
10. Enjoy
Don't forget to press the Thanks button
wow！so cool .Can you share the batman theme.
Anyone able to extract this theme yet?
in 10 min I will upload it.
I unpacked the theme from the sec_csc.zip
I don't think so that it will be able to be installed as a normal app but you may need root to put it to the /system/app/ folder
Here the link
So you can install the theme regularly but it says trial and it ends after a few minutes

I have installed the apk and it works fine if you want to keep the theme active for more then five minutes use package disabler from the playstore to disable the theme store. Here's a link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro
This will allow you to keep the theme active.

It works perfectly fine for me. Did you make sure you disabled both theme store applications. Here is an xml file download this:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9e0-e27EVVKcml6X0hWSzI5cFE/view?usp=drivesdk
Then activate the theme again. Once you have activated the theme go into package disabler and import the xml the one you just downloaded. The theme should now be activated and will stay on until you reactivate theme store.

Hi you could try visiting this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/themes/marvel-themes-s7-t3340869
Basically you need to disable both Theme store and Theme Center.
Theme store can be disabled easily. As for theme center, you have to select manual disabler in package disabler pro and type com.samsung.android.themecenter to disable it. I have tried and it worked on my non rooted s7 edge.
people first of all its working great you just have to know how to cancell the trial version.
sec ill explain you but if you likes theme you have the bigest theme stuff that ok with our phone here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/themes-apps/theme-park-super-hero-t3386909 best place .
FOR ROOTED DEVICE
•Download and install a simply apk. Installation may take a 3-4 minutes as the're many sub-apk. Wait until you see in homescreen message "Installation complete"
•Move the file json from data/overlays/jsonfiles/triljson into userjson. It's always good to test theme while it is on trial version to see any problem with installation
•For MM delete preferences folder in data/overlays(after reboot your device (don'the worry the folder preferences it will be created after reboot)
•Apply theme
FOR NO ROOT DEVICE
•Download and install the theme a simply apk .installation may take 4/5 minutes . Once you see install complete in homescreen your good to go .
•First option app best you use on play store •EZRA PACKAGE DISABLER PRO $1.95
•After you go in (package disabled pro)for the custom themes on here locate it in Theme Center from your phone hit trial,then with PDP look for Theme store and them disable both that's it now it will stick,picture down.
enjoy
I'm uploading the whole rom so everyone can install it

That's what I have been telling you to do since my first post. You have to disable both of the theme store applications using package disabler to get the theme to stay activated.

I DID but they had a Background process running which shut the theme off even though both apps were disabled only when I force stopped with greenify and disabled the package did the timer go away
Hi,
I have been trying to purchase this theme but paid themes are not available in my country. I then resorted to sideloading the theme by installing the trial version and using package disabler pro but it doesn't seem to work anymore. Help me! I really like the theme.
Try this . Install the theme. Go into priv-app, theme setting . Rename themesetting.apk to themesetting.bak restart your phone before your trail end ... you will need to be rooted and have some type of rooted file explorer for this to work...

Too bad I am not rooted but thanks anyways.
After you applied the theme , you need to clear data application of theme ( Applications->show application system->theme->clear data ) after that you need to disable theme store with package disabler.
You need to do the same steps when you reboot the phone.
Hope it works,
Sorry for bad english.

I got stuck on this as well. What worked for me was, after disabling the theme store service, make sure you kill the running instance of it. Go into settings app manager and find the themes services and kill what's running before it rolls back your theme. Make sure you disable/freeze the service first then kill the running instance.

Hi! Guys Today I will share a guide on How to achieve Pixel features and look on almost any android device running android Nougat.
What you need?:- A rooted Nougat device, Root file manager(I recommened ES), Brain
Lets start:-
Go into root of your device using your fav. file manager and search for build.prop. Usually it lies in system folder but if not found search it. Open it with any text editor and add this two lines at it's end.
ro.product.model=Pixel XL
ro.opa.eligible_device=true
Now reboot your device.
After your device turns on Clear Google App data.(Clear whole data and not cache only).
Now long press on your device to launch Google assistant:laugh::laugh: .
Now another step.
Open playstore and install pixel launcher and wallpapers by google.
Now you need Link2SD.(Install if not already Installed)
Now open Link2SD find & convert Pixel launcher and wallpapers into system apps and reboot again. (This step enables Google Now on swipe).
Now Download the boot animation app by Jrummy from playstore and install the boot animation zip i provided or manually push it into your system where your boot animation is stored.(Normally it's stored in system>media)
Copy audio files and replace it with your default files in system>media>audio.
Now if you want more follow:- (Not recommened for CM users but i hadn't encountered any problem on my CM though )
Download substratum from Playstore and Pixel Ui which is similar theme for this app and apply it via the substratum. Reboot
Cm users can skip many steps and use any pixel theme and icon pack from Playstore and apply it via Themes app natively installed.:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
It's Done. Now enjoy all features and look of Pixel on your device.
While i encountered that google assistant doesn't recognize your voice I can't do anything for it now. I will keep looking to make it work but it will take time.Sorry.
You can also just download the launcher and wallpaper and install it. It still works that way. Also you can manually push them into system if required. But i suggest you to use bootanimation via substratum only as i pulled the zip file from PixelUi.
Here is a thread on Pixel experince you may want to take a look here too if you want to avoid so much work and go for flashing zips:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...xel-experience-launcher-dialer-t3478907/page1
Tips:- Signup for google beta tester on playstore and update your google app to latest beta version for seamless google assistant work.
You may add those two build.prop at the end and don't change your default model number. It will still work.
Boot animation have a huge chances to work normally as the just conatin minimal animations and cover center of screen. So try it out and tell me.
This is my first guide. Please PM me or quote if you have any doubts before rating my guide bad.
Thank me if you liked my guide and my assistance.:laugh:
