If like that just make a backup before you clear the data, so you can restore it back easily whenever you want to use the apps again

Really.....when this happen. I know when the S9 + was release, we couldnt activate. It wasnt working but PD from police was working so i used that instead until the developer updated his BK app and then it was working fine. I get weekly app updates from BK and still working. Im afraid now to do a factory reset if i have to lol. This app is a life saver.

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 had my phone factory reset yesterday,
and now bk stuck in activate screen.

It's dead as the mdm manager & extension r removed possibly as per Samsung's request.
Im tired of Samsung's forced bloats and the consequences.

SABS still works great. Just Google notsabs and you will find the instructions on how to install it.

Adhell used to tell you which were safe to remove and which were critical system ones it doesn't look like sab's does this is there a way that I'm not seeing to know what is safe to disable

After using this apk on galaxy s9, disabled many system apks with some S8 script, my fingerprint start to have issues and finally stop working at all. Probably should flash stock firmware because factory reset do not solve fp issues. Think i disabled some system apk which is in colaboration with fp sensor and now its use is broken. Leaved it in samsung service because of warranty, device is 2 weeks in use just. Perhaps i should know flash same stock firmware with odin again but dont want to mess until i am sure it is not hardware fail.
In service menu sensor give me error.
Be careful what to disable on newer devices..

No not a play store thing I don't think I can link it here you will have to google it also it requires a Samsung Knox enterprise key which are free there are many websites on how to do all this search adhell3 in google and there should be some guides that's how i got it

Do you know how it compares to SABS, I'm guessing adhell3 is easier to use?

I could never get SABS to work so I have nothing to compare it to but it's pretty simple not idiot proof or anything but easy enough I never used anything besides adaway and package disabler before and figured this out in a few mins its has the best of both in one app

I got Adhell3 installed using instructions on Reddit. It was time consuming because I hit a few snafus in Android studio. I havent disabled anything yet though, lol.

[Q] No Task Manager?

Maybe i'm blind but can't find any type of HTC task manager on this device? Had it on stock ATT HTC One X+ device. I'm new to Verizon, switched specifically for this device and better deal with service so this is all new to me here.
Just seems odd zero task manager installed at all. Never had to use a third party, any recommendations? Thanks
I see in Settings, App manager, you can scroll right to Running apps and manually tap and stop. Anyway to have these apps NOT become active after a reboot? I'm spoiled and use to root and greenify and what not. Never use apps like Verizon Cloud, Verizon messages, NFL, etc.
Facebook app uses 48mb just for push services? Already have half the ram used up and only using mandatory apps running except Facebook, Messenger, GSam Battery Monitor, AppLock, Dropbox (all except Facebook and Messenger only use maybe 5-10mb each).
Closest I can find is by pressing the recent apps button and clicking the four square icon in the top right. That's typically the most we'll get w/o root apps

Yeah that's a shortcut to what I described. So no matter how many times I turn off, force close, etc the Verizon and Amazon apps they seem to still run on their own. Awesome

Go into settings, apps, all, click on some of the bloat ware and click disable. Removes it from the task manager for me. Also do you have this at the bottom of your apps list? I'm referring to the one with the foreign characters.

I just did that. Basically unchecked notifications and disabled all Verizon, Amazon apps. Going to reboot now and see if they still start up on their own and if there any issues disabling all these? New to this stuff.
Yes I noticed that too just now. Not sure what it is for?

True. I mainly like to hold off as long as I can until I have to root. As much as I like tinkering with Android stuff I always have that time period where I'm not willing to mess with my new$600 phone. After that period I just go flash happy.

Damn well disabling all Verizon bloatware and Amazon crap did something. I have gallery lock lite to hide personal pics/vids from the stock gallery app. I have the pics and vids saved on external sd card from previous device so these are not saved on internal.
Well now they are all visible again in stock gallery app like I never hid them. They also show inside the gallery lock app.
I had vaulty app before which worked great but on this device does not hide stuff. Not sure if it's a kit Kat 4.4.2 thing or what? Seems odd after reboot they are all visible again in gallery app though. Damnit. More reason to root! Can't even have private photos on my sd card, WTH?

Hahaha, Harvey?

Can someone mod the Samsung Browser?

I have the Verizon S7 Edge so don't have the Samsung browser pre-installed.
You can't install the apk either as the app will force close unless it is placed in the system/app folder. (Which I can't because there is no root)
Is there anyone that can or is willing to mod the Samsung browser so that it can be sideloaded?
I'd just use another browser dude. I use lightning+ it's lightweight, has ad blocking, has amoled mode, and allows you to change rendering mode (I use inverted grayscale for text heavy sites like news and forums).

I've already tried Lightning+ and it's still not as fast/smooth as the Samsung browser.

Totally agree, i tried like 6 different browsers and nothing comes close to the fluidity of the samsung browser, the thing that i don't like is that i cant open tabs in the background. Anyway im sure someone will mod it soon, stupid verizon.

The Samsung browser feels much more optimized than chrome and has built in ad blocking so it's been great. But I also sent hate how new tabs open in the foreground so annoying.

Nope, all I get is a "Unfortunately, Internet has stopped." message when I open it.
That's why I'm asking if anyone can mod this app so that it can be sideloaded without it force closing.

Cool story bro.
I like this browser, other than the fact on my Vodafone UK S7E, I can't stop it from using Vodafone's webpage as my homepage. No matter what I set it to in the settings it gets ignored. I removed it using Titanium Backup and looked for it on Playstore but it doesn't show up. I had to download it from somewhere else in the end, reinstalled and now it works fine.
I love to give it a try if I can migrate / sync my Chrome bookmarks / browsing history over.

Working fine here on my s7 edge, both on data and Wi-Fi.
version 4.61
Install Kodi, get the Ares plug in, install a custom TV build.
You'll be able to use Kodi for your personal media with USB OTG and for the same purposes show box is used. It's more reliable and more secure.

Installed the Kodi app..please help with the next steps to get the same settings as yours ..
You have to find the ares installer wizard, should be able to Google it. YouTube has some tutorials with old repos. But Google Ares Wizard and then once that's installed the rest is easy. I'm not endorsing any of this, just that it's possible. I usually have on my phone just for the ability to learn about the builds. But it does work.

Showbox.... Help for piracy is not allowed in here.
Second, Ensure you clear you apps Cache and settings.
go to battery and ensure Showbox is not being Optimised in any way.
(Optimising on Showbox resulted in a few FC for me)
Are you running the latest version? Have you tried a older / new version?

Ive done all that, but still no success. I went to battery, and it was automatically optimized - so i inactivated it. Cleared the cache, but still getting FC.
Theres a new update right now, but it wont install it.
If it doesnt FC then it wont install the update.
Sometimes, i can use the current version, when skipping the update. but its not an smooth overall experience.
Any clues?
Reporting this post due to Piracy ffs!!!
Try uninstalling your previous version before trying to install a new version / update
If the signature keys are different Update will not happen!
Go and look for the developer and get the support from them.
Dont pollute the lovely XDA with Piracy, its had enough attention of the years!

T-Mobile keeps reinstalling apps on my phone.

I've removed T-Mobile app selector, it's supposed to be used to install apps when after a factory reset or new phone setup. Over the last few weeks I've noticed it keeps getting reinstalled along with Facebook and T-Mobile Play.
When I look at the settings it shows that it was installed from com.tmobile.pr.adapt
Is anyone else on T-Mobile experiencing this?

Chrome was doing the same thing. I used a Package Disabler to put a stop to it. The com.tmobile.pr.adapt is another I always disable too.
Does the package disabler work if you're not rooted?

You don't need root or have to do any adb command. There are two Package Disabler Pro and CCWSE.

Something interesting came up. I bought Package Disabler pro and it seems to be working, at least in my app tray and under installed apps.
The strange thing is they keep coming back in the secure folder even when uninstalling them from the secure folder but they aren't in the app drawer or programs.

I personally don't use secure folder so not sure why they would keep coming back to it. Maybe enable the offending apps, clear the cache and data from secure folder, reboot and then disable the offending app and set up secure folder again.
I looked into data usage and com.tmobile.pr.adapt is using 163mbs of data each month.
I restricted data access to it, let's see if that stops it from reinstalling.

I always disable that one too. It's a T-Mobile diagnostic app the let's them know if you've rooted your phone. AFAIK not good for anything.
Is this referring to a T-Mobile version or an Unlocked on T-Mobile? I'm using an Unlocked on T-Mobile and don't seem to have this issue.

The reason it keeps installing in the secure folder is because that's an entirely different spot.. Think of it as a different phone basically.. On one phone you have all the apps you use and then on the second phone it's all of your secured folder apps this means you have to install and run the package disabler app in the secure folder too.. At least that's what I think however, I could be wrong here.

Is this referring to a T-Mobile version or an Unlocked on T-Mobile? I'm using an Unlocked on T-Mobile and don't seem to have this issue.

T-mobile branded. I would imagine unlocked wouldn't have the app pre-installed.

I looked into data usage and com.tmobile.pr.adapt is using 163mbs of data each month.
I restricted data access to it, let's see if that stops it from reinstalling.

Did you use package disabler to do this? If not and if you were able to do this straight from the phone's settings can you describe the steps involved? Thanks!

No, to disable data usage you can go into programs select it and restrict data. That alone didn't seem to work for me and I'm using package disabler too.

Question Pixel 7 Pro can't sideload apks

Hey so I have a bunch of older apks I prefer over newer ones from play store. I have them backed up. They have always worked on my Sammy phones. This is my first Pixel and I love it. I activated unknown sources and gave permissions to file managers and still it fails. I tried with a 3rd party manager (solid explorer) and it says app not compatible with this version on android.
But I have android 13 on my Sammy phone and it works fine. Anyone have a tip?
I also have play protect and device security off or deactivated
That sounds familiar. I recall some people on the Pixel 6 Pro claiming they couldn't sideload apps, but I never had any problem, and there were others who didn't have problems either.
Edit: You might want to search the titles of threads in the Pixel 6 Pro section for:
sideload
or
apk

It's easy to find:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This third search result down in this picture is the one I'm thinking of. Not positive if it's the same issue or not, since I didn't have the issue.

I had a nice read... but it's not exactly my issue. my apps are all paid. Maybe I'll just use the newer versions and delete the collection of old apks. I have from all the way to 2008 it takes up like 14gb on my laptop lol. I really did just prefer older versions before many apps were sold and then turned into an unbearable ad and spam machine
Any APK that uses accessibility features will no longer work, paid or otherwise.

Are you talking about the new A13 restrictions for accessibility and notification access? If so, you can bypass the restrictions by clicking on the 3 dot menu in the app info section.

Good to know that the option wasn't removed in final A13 because it's not present in A13 on my OnePlus 9.

Let us know if you figure it out
Can't install so can't get into a 3dot menu if it won't install. it's fine just decided I'll use the new apks from play store. not that big of a deal
I´m waiting for my P7Pro to arrive. But I was wondering if installing apk´s via ADB will work?
Jus to confirm.
I got the same Problem.
Wanted to install APKPure App. Not compatible.
Does adb sideload work? If it fails, it might give you a helpful error message that way. I haven't received my P7P yet or I would try it out.
this is what pops up with built in file manager
and with solid it shows another message
(I cut off name of apk)
Sideloading i believe worked but im not sure about it.

I´ll give it a try when my P7Pro arrives. Unfortunately it will first be in 1-2 weeks in Denmark.

Are you sure the apk you're trying to install is compatible with Android 13?
Maybe try another file manager like Mixplorer.

is it a 64bit ARM app you're installing?
Does the P7P drop support for 32bit native applications? I recall something along those lines being talked about, but it was supposed to be in connection with the upcoming pixel tablet.
Confirmed: factory images for P7[P] drop all 32bit ABI's. If a native application lacks 64bit, it will not work.
Will look into it I just got off work here in Germany
