Apps in box will be HIDDEN from launcher and won't be able to steal your battery or cellular data in background. You can easily launch them from Ice Box, just like launch from a home screen folder. They'll be frozen automatically after screen lock or back to launcher and can't do anything in background.

How to use non root mode
There is not necessary to switch to non root mode if your devices are already rooted.
1. Make sure your device is running Android 5.0+ and you know how to use adb clearly.
2. Go to "Settings - Accounts", remove ALL ACCOUNTS including your Google account.
3. Run "adb shell dpm set-device-owner com.catchingnow.icebox/.receiver.DPMReceiver " on your computer terminal.
4. Reboot your phone then can add your accounts back.
After setting up Ice Box will grant the Device Administrator permission on your device to freeze/defrost apps.

Install it again and defrost the app you frosted.
Hi. Where is the source code and license of this app?
I've updated the Magisk system plugin to work with Android Oreo. I emailed it to the dev, so hopefully he'll include it in the app soon.

Loving Ice Box! Any chance you could make a larger widget that shows all currently frozen apps. I'd like to devote an entire launcher page to Ice Box so I can quickly access frozen apps without hitting the app icon.

some of my system apks not listed. so i cannot freeze it.
surprisingly greenify shows all system apks. and i can greenify it.

Frozen apps can be launched from app shortcuts.
Also, Nova Launcher + Sesame Shortcuts will enable app Shortcuts to appear in the app drawer search.

Your app is very amazing.But I have 2 bugs:
1-It cannot freeze some system apps in miui 9 like app store and music,....
2-It cannot refreeze the defrosted apps after "screen off",I can only manually freeze them using "double tap home".
please fix these bugs.
There is a bug in your app:
All frozen apps dissappeared from icebox quick launch panel and they are hidden from launcher also.see picture:
I cannot find my apps in order to launch any one of them. Please fix this bug
i have a killer feature that is easy to implement and very essential and will make your app n1 in hibernating apps,
contact me directly and i will explain it to you.

Hello dear yochananmarqos!
The main problem is vanishing shortcuts from all dedicated folders on freeze&unfreeze. For example in Nova Launcher gmail app was in 2 folder. And after freezing and consequential unfreezing gmail none of those folder will contain gmail shortcut.
Could you advice if it's possible to preserve shortcuts locations (layouts)?

I was talking about Ice Box's app shortcuts (long-press the icon), not app drawer shortcuts.
Why would you freeze your email client?
FYI, I no longer use this app as I find it's functionality is no longer needed now that app developers are required to target Oreo and above. Apps that used to misbehave are no longer allowed to.

What exactly is this app trying to send and where. I have it blocked by AF+ and logs show it trying to send data.

Could you please explain how "Nova Launcher + Sesame Shortcuts will enable..."? I have them installed but see no option in SS to change the behavior of Ice Box. Please explain how this works, what to do.
I really love your app, but it drives me nuts to have widgets for some things (e.g. Spotify, which I often freeze when I'm out of the house), and even worse, not to be able to put the Icebox-created icons in folders in Nova, so I just have a page of a mess of apps.
Is there another launcher that would work better with Ice Box?
Thanks much.
First of all,
Follow this xda-developers guide to enable Google Assistant - Click Here or continue reading.
If you fail to set your Google Assistant working, make sure two things
1. You're using this version
Google App 7.4.21.21.arm64 (nodpi) (Android 5.0+) - Download Here
2. You have Nova Launcher ( Okay, we only need this once to set up and after then your stock MIUI launcher or any other launcher is fine. )
Follow this quote from the above article -
1. Find an empty spot on your home screen and long-press to add something new.
2.Tap on “Widgets.”
3. Under “Nova Launcher” tap and hold “Activities” and drag it to your home screen.
4. Scroll down and find the “Google App.”
5. Tap on it to expand it, and select com.google.android.apps.gsa.staticplugins.opa.hq.OpaHqActivity.
6. This will add a new “Google Assistant” icon to your home screen which is a shortcut to this activity. Tap on this icon.
7. You’ll now find yourself within the new Assistant “explore” screen where Google categorizes available integrations, how to use them, and quick access to make custom shortcuts.
8. Swipe over to the “Your Stuff” tab up top.
9. Tap on “Add Reminder” to trigger Google Assistant. What this action does is launch the activity com.google.android.apps.gsa.staticplugins.opa.OpaActivity – which normally can’t be accessed on your unrooted device.
You’ll now be taken through the hotword setup process. Teach it to recognize your voice, and you’re done! Now you can access Google Assistant by saying “OK Google!”

I've already provided the link of original article
Now when your Assistant is ready, How to launch it by long pressing home button?
Here it goes,
1. Download this Google Assistant.apk and install it
( It only supports on Marshmallow+ ROMs but I've tweaked it to work on Lolliipop too)
2. open and if it asks you to update your google app, update it from play store
3. Now open Assistant app and it should launch google assistant.
4. Now Download Button remapper(no root) from play store : Here
and set long press home button to ( other.. > app> Assistant (You just installed) )
Now check if it's working.
( You can uninstall Nova Launcher now)
Benefits you have now:
1. Your google app is always latest. You're not stuck to June version anymore in order to use Assistant
2. You get to use latest Assistant features
3. You use Assistant in a way no less than devices having Android 6.0 or more.
Cheers!!!
Hit thanks if helped
It says google assistant requires android 6.0 or above.
I tried with the apk given (Google App 7.4.21.21.arm64 ) but then the activity in nova launcher doesn't open.
Google Assistant is now supported on Android Lollipop also. Update you Google app and it should automatically appear. The above guide isn't needed anymore.
There's always the argument "If you wanted stock Android, why didn't you get yourself a Pixel or another device running stock Android?" We won't go in there. Everyone has a reason.
I'm going to show you how you can make your Samsung Experience ROM look and work like as close to stock Android as possible, without having to flash a broken AOSP ROM. With all due respect to the Developers, let's face it. None of the AOSP ROM's are daily driver material IMHO. You may disagree and that is totally fine.
For this, we're going to need a few apps:
- Magisk
- Google Framework Magisk Module
- Ruthless Pixel Launcher
- Material Notification Shade
- Google Dialer App
- Google Contacts App
- Pixel IP (Icon Pack)
- Pixel Live Wallpaper XDA Thread (Optional)
These are the essential apps. If you want, you can replace most Samsung Apps with Google Apps. This could include the Calendar App, Clock App and many other Apps Samsung feels the need to duplicate.
1. Root your device with Magisk. This'll install Magisk Manager on your device. There are countless guides on how to do this.
2. Open Magisk Manager, and from the Sidebar, got to Downloads. Here, search for and install the Google Framework Magisk Module.
3. Reboot after the module is installed.
4. Clear cache and data of your Play Store. Alternatively, wait a couple minutes to hours.
5. Now, practically all Google Apps will now be shown as compatible with your Samsung S7 Flat/Edge. But be careful. There are reasons why some apps are not compatible.
6. Search for and install the Google Dialer and Contacts app.
7. Go to Setting>Apps>3 Dot Menu> and set Google Dialer as your default contacts and phone app.
8. Search and install Material Notification Shade. Optionally buy the pro version via IAP.
9. Go to Settings>Themes And Wallpapers.
10. Search, install and apply "Pixel" Theme by "MINU".
11. Install Ruthless Pixel Launcher.
This should do it now. I hope you're gonna enjoy it as much as I do.
I have a little problem when i switch Launcher i cant find some Xiaomi apps like Game booster? Is there any solution?
Game Booster is part of the security app. Open the app and scroll all the way to the bottom and you will find the Game Booster button.
