I believe its not specific a p40 pro problem, but i didnt face it before
In some apps i cant take screenshots, it is forbidden by app??
I understand that is sometimes for banking apps, but it is also on some other apps, that is completely not usefull.
Anybody that can help me with the solution, becasue i cant root this new phone?
Depending the security of the app it wont allow you to record any of the data e.g. banking apps

Does anyone know how to remove or disable the marketplace app completely from reg hack?

just one question.
why????
We are trying to use this for business. We do not need anyone to go to marketplace and download apps. Or is there a way to control downloading apps?
Parental controls on a Live ID can prevent the purchase of apps, but I don't know of any way to prevent people from installing free apps. Also, even if you could block app installs on the phone (by blocking the Marketplace), it's still possible to install apps from the PC by using the Zune software.
What is the concern around apps? Smartphones without them are far less useful, and the security model on WP7 is good enough that you don't have to worry that an app will steal sensitive business data or something from elsewhere on the phone.
no, it is impossible... also your application has to be downloaded from marketplace (not good idea to load as dev), and the phone access it for checking updates to apps and everything else...
I can see some concerns: Facebook, FIM, Youtube, etc. If the phone is being used for business, the company may be concerned with employees goofing off through such apps.
Is there any current limit in the registry that we could utilize? A max number of installed apps?
To bad we couldn't create a build that doesn't have the marketplace app in it.
Does this exist? I basically want a simple phone for texting and calling, but added to that also whatsapp, since this is used more and more, and it would be convenient if I have access to whatsapp.
But I do not want access to a browser, or a gmail or facebook app, or anything else, because this is very distracting, and I do not want this on my phone
Is this possible? Ideally I would like a simple phone like a Nokia Asha 206 or 301, with just a numeric keypad, but I don't think that it is possible to remove for instance the browser.
So basically, does this mean that since I want a dumbphone, I need to have a smartphone? I think this is possible with an iPhone, by letting someone disable everything for me with parental control? And probably this is also possible with a rooted android phone?
Are there more possibilities for me to achieve this? I hope you have some ideas. So I would like it the most to have a simple phone like a Nokia asha 206 or 301, just for calling, texting but also capable of whatsapp, and nothing else.
You can always remove the apks from your phone, thereby removing the app from your phone. You could also flash a custom rom and remove the specific apks in questions, so your phone never has the app in the first place. However, note that gmail is part of Gapps, so if you want to remove it, you will probably not have access to Google play, which is used to update your apps.
after buying your phone, you can simply remove/ uninstall the apps you don't need by going into
Device/>System/>app>(remove the apk's)
So I see a ton of cool looking free games in the play store, and am interested in mass downloading a bunch of them. However I know nothing comes without a price, and dont want to run the risk of infecting my cellphone with whatever crap is out there. If you uninstall an app that manages to spam your notification bar or place shortcuts on your homescreen, are you effectively clean? Does uninstalling the offending app basically rid you of its presence? Or is it like a PC and it can side-load all sorts of crap and you'll never be able to fix your phone without reflashing? Also, whats the risk with apps accessing things like email and your phone number? Do I have to worry about some freeware game sending spam to my gmail inbox? Or sending emails on my behalf? Or worse yet, getting my cellphone number and texting me or others? Are any of these things even possibilities, at least from apps on the play store with high ratings?

Before uninstall I recommend clearing any app data and force stop through settings. After uninstalling you can use Clean Master and/or SD Maid to clean up and remnant files and folders. As for privacy, you can use XPrivacy to restrict app access to anything and everything.

If you are still worried, you can run android emulators on your PC in an enclosed virtual machine before install on your device.

I use clean master from ks apps. Nothing can clean leftovers better than you.
You download something, app uninstall does the download disappear? Neither commonly used references like flash.
You are tge best judge when it comes to cleaning.
Privacy tools tries to disconnect wifi 3g etc which again you can do manually. Run your apps in flight mode.
Use firewall to control to fro traffic.

Howdy all!
Earlier this year, Snapchat introduced a new "Feature" called Discovery that allows you to see live events around the world, as well as sponsored stories from their partners. These can not be disabled in the 9.12 update, and previous to that, they required you to "hide" each of them every time from your feed. There are potentially thousands of these events on your feed, and they drain battery, drain your data, or both! Since SnapChat refuses to allow their users to disable the "feature", many turned to third party apps to get rid of them.
Most (if not all) 3rd party apps are against Snapchat ToS, because they usually allow you to save received snaps, and share images from your gallery (aka. pictures that may not be of you). Your account can be banned permanently from using 3rd party apps, and since they've been really hitting it hard with cracking down on people using them, it's not a viable solution to figuring out how to block the Discovery "feature".
I found the solution! This solution IS COMPLETELY FREE for one, as well it will keep you using the official app, so no 3rd party apps will be used. You'll also NOT be using any xposed modules, so nothing ToS breaking like saving snaps or whatever, either
Requirements:
ROOTED Android 4.4+, 5.0+
Titanium Backup Premium - Free Version and Premium Unlock Key
Latest Snapchat APK - Google Play or APK Mirror
Snapchat 8.1.2 APK - APK Mirror
How to:
Install the latest official client from the links above, and login as normal. Close the app once you're logged in, and swipe it away from recents.
Open up Titanium Backup Premium, and back up the Snapchat app.
Uninstall the Snapchat app.
Install the 8.1.2 version (linked above).
Open up Titanium Backup Premium, and restore ONLY THE DATA PORTION of the backup. DO NOT RESTORE APP OR APP+DATA!
Once successful, close TiBu and open up Snapchat
Notes:
You will get a notice from "teamsnapchat" that says your version is out of date, and that it will stop working shortly, however it's not limited in any way for me. I've sent and received snaps from friends, chatted with friends, and even received story updates from other friends. All of it is working, including push notifications of new stuff.
I've not seen or heard anything Discovery wise from the app, nothing appears on my list of friends, and lastly, the data/battery problems are all but gone since it's not background syncing infinitely.
My screen does turn on whenever I receive a new notification, and I can't seem to disable it. I've unchecked the option to wake screen in settings, however it re-checks itself upon save/exit. I'm OK with this though, since my lockscreen timeout is 5 seconds.
Nice work but it is a bit misleading to say that this is removing/disabling the discovery feature in Snapchat 9.11 when the underlying solution here is to downgrade Snapchat to before the feature was enforced or introduced.

It's not really a downgrade entirely though, since if you downgrade to 8.1.2 without the backup/restore data operation, then it refuses to let you login.
You're downgrading, then upgrading partially..
Pretty sure it doesn't work on 5.1.1. I get an error saying it won't work on this version of your Operating system.

No, you're making the downgrade possible due to restoring the data of the newer version of Snapchat. Its a tweak to make the downngrade possible. Restoring the data doesn't brint back the new version.
I find the title misleading aswell, since you are not removing nor disabling the discovery feature at all.
It isn't Snapchat 9.11+ either when you downgrade to 8.1.2.
Its not really your solution neither, as this is was the default solution to use Snapprefs and simular mods before it was recently updated to work woth the latest Snapchat versions.
Doesn't work for me unfortunately. Automatically logs me out upon opening Snapchat 8 even with version 9 data restored.
After installing the current version of snapchat and logging in, try to go to settings and uncheck the option for Wake Screen, THEN proceed with the downgrade instructions. I haven't tried it, but it might work for you if your screen keeps waking once you downgrade.
I'll try this once they release root for my phone
To solve your wake screen problem i think all you have to do is backup the data AFTER you uncheck wake screen then restore the data to the downgraded app.
Good tip and much appreciated, although this has been known. And I agree it is misleading since the app is being downgraded and we are not actually disabling the feature in Snapchat 9.11+.
Again, the post is appreciated, but I think you should edit the thread title.
Doesn't work. After restore data and open Snapchat app, my account was disconnected and when I try to do login again, I receive a message saying that Snapchat is not updated and I need to update to login (something like this).
I usually just install the 8.1.2 update over the latest snapchat ☺. Data restore hasn't been working too fine with me ...
Thread closed per OP request. Method no longer works.

So, I hate google bloatware and first thing I do, always, is disable all of their apps which are unnecessary to me, and that includes Chrome and Youtube (I prefer to use Opera for both), but lately the apps just show up on my screen without my enabling them.
I have a Huawei P30, if that makes any difference to all and any of you that are willing to help me.
What I want to know is how do i stop it from happening, because going to disable them over and over and over and over again seems pointless.
Thank you!

You didnt say if you were rooted, and I dont know if you need to be rooted to perform these actions, but have you tried Freezing and/or Hiding the apps?
You may also get better answers in a more general forum/thread such as https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2259645
For youtube, although its basically the same app without ads, you may also like to try Vanced https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-youtube-vanced-edition-t3758757

Had the same problem with youtube on my One Vision. The trick here was to disable Google Partner Setup and youtube isn't enabling itself anymore.
