I just went into the Play store, and it let me download the new version... I store all of my projects to the Cloud service, so I just synced it and disabled the old copy... if you haven't tried it yet, the changes are very small - although I have to say it feels a bit more responsive, the icons seems a bit refined, and it does sync a bit faster than the previous versions... overall, not a massive/life-changing upgrade, but it's possibly worth it if you use it alot. :cyclops:

Was just about to post asking what the improvements are and if I should bother upgrading. I use photoshop daily, but still prefer to work on my laptop and rarely use it on my tablet.
Thanks for sharing!

No worries! I've only started using PS at all, so the mobile one is 'simple' enough for me to get accustomed to it... the PS on my laptop is a bit of a monster.

Haha I feel like the Mobile one is more confusing compared to the desktop version. Finding everything I'm used to on the tablet has been a learning experience that I'm still going through.
I do find using the stylus (S-Pen) to be useful though. A lot more accurate than I thought it'd be

I think I must have purchased it some time ago on my old tab... hadn't thought of that - think it was on sale, grabbed it and a bunch of others. According to my Google Account purchases, I'm a bit of an app-whore, apparently.

Good question! PS Touch came with my Note 10.1 and Google Play is not giving me an update. I assume if I uninstall PS Touch and reinstall I would have the newest version, but Google Play does not recognize I own the app or have it installed.
Anyone else having this issue?

I'm the same I guess from personal experience with apps there are some that won't update cause of who has them I've bought apps on amazon that won't update on the playstore so I guess being that this is for the Samsung app store it goes that way to

That's right, I forgot that since the PS Touch came with the Note 10.1 that it is getting it's updates from the Samsung app store, not google. Thanks for reminding me. Looking at the Samsung App Store, they are still offering the version I currently have. I assume at some point they will get the newest version in their queue.

You can find it here (Samsung App Store) http://content.samsung.com Login, click Samsung apps at the top and then type Photoshop in the search box, it will show up as a free app but the version is 1.4.2, last updated Dec 19, 2012.
I purchased SketchBook Pro for Galaxy Note from Samsung App Store, it has a different start screen and it does not show up in Google Play as a purchase but some apps that you install from the Samsung App Store re-direct you to Google play and install from there but I think they are free apps.
.

I can upload the apk file if need be

You shall not. It's a piracy.
However, it's not a good way to treat customers... if they'll receive no updates for more apps (btw NFS Most Wanted for my N7100 not updated since many months), no one will be using samsung store, and i don't think it's what samsung wants as they are updating their store ("hubs") in an intensive manner, recently.
Sketchbook apps for note devices are in exclusive versions with spen support, that's a different story, they are great, and there is no other official source.
But atm it is a risk to buy a non-exclusive app from samsung if it is also reachable via google, as you can be left with no further updates.
Anybody tried contacting with samsung support? They are going to update PST? Or no such a plans?

There are many people complaining about it not being updated to 1.5 and samsung apps is bad at updating anything or even taking care of their store, I got the avengers game from there as they were giving it away free but when downloaded the game doesn't even start and they haven't updated that and couldn't even be bothered to check the user comments all complaining about this issue.
I went to the photoshop touch forum on adobe's website and saw that there were people complaining about not getting updates and the repliers who I think work on the app didn't know how to solve the problem and that was a post complaining about not getting an update for 1.2....or was it 1.3, anyways they still haven't solved the problem since then and I doubt they care as the app came free with the note 10.1
I went to ask about why upload to cloud doesn't work and was told to update to 1.5 so said about the problem to him and he didn't have an answer for me about the update issue, he kind of changed the subject
I like photoshop touch and it seems to have the biggest canvas I've used without any slowdown or relentless bugs like one art app I gave up with and just unistalled, another art app sketchbook ink, had high hopes for that but seems whatever you paint zoomed in shows blotchy when zoomed out so that's more money I lost on art apps that didn't work properly but apart from the really annoying non palm rejection and the fact that when you zoom out with your fingers sometimes the app doesn't pick it up and leaves marks on the art I'm doing and if I hadn't remembered to do another layer I have to go back and go over all the marks that I didn't spot earlier.
1.5 still hasn't got palm rejection btw and doubt it will for a while
I also like using photoshop touch more than the others because I'm colour blind and can only pick up a few colours without getting confused with other colours and they just have a small few colours and I can add my own pallette of colours by mixing...oh you know what I meant if you had trouble with colours.
I'd buy this app if I didn't already have it and my work that is in psd format can not be imported only saved on cloud plus why should I pay for something I got for free, I don't like this cloud saving it's just another way of getting money from people to sell them a little....empty space that's what is there but you can't see it only if you find it on a computer or whatever you have, next someone will come up with an idea for selling air and probably gravity one day.

Huawei's decision to use its own memory manager....

Ok, so this was a huge problem on the Mediapad X1. Where huawei's memory manager kills apps in the background. Why do we need task killers today Huawei? Please stop
On the Mediapad X1 there were a bunch of apps like Google Hangouts that would get killed even though you tell it not to get killed via "Protected Apps", having your texting app not run in the background is bad as you can imagine. So now I have an X2 and it seems like this Protected App thing actually works better, however I noticed today that the bluetooth services were getting killed in the background as it would not pair with my car until I turned on the screen. Because these are built in services you can't "Protect" them.
Just posting this here so hopefully Huawei can see it and fix it
But seriously, they should just use the memory manager built into android and not try to monkey around with, we don't need task killers any more.

I am on an X2 now and yes, it appears to be working so far (Using SimplyText), I've only had the phone for 2 days however so I am still testing, but this was the main reason I almost didn't buy and X2 because of apps shutting down all the time on my X1 in the background.
What tweaks are normally required?

I have had Textra recommended to me as a work-around for MMS texting glitches. I am used to that now and will try it but if I have problems I will try your app. By tweaks I just meant that so much of what most of you do is not what a "regular" cell phone user would know. I had no idea there were memory manager things I might need to address. (I haven't done that before). That is why I am here. To learn about new things and to be prepared as much as possible for when (at this point it is "if") my 702L gets here!

You have to go into startup manager and check each app, protected apps and trust each application, add it to startup, and in permission manager you have to trust each application. I agree though, I wish this didn't exist as there's no need for it. If you're rooted you can take it out but you'll lose the Do Not Disturb mode as it is baked into it.

I was rooted on the X1 and getting rid of the Power Manager still made stuff die in the background, it was pretty irritating. So far with the X2 it mostly works. As far as I can tell only bluetooth dies (Which I can't add to any of those apps as its a system app)
The X2 is such a better phone than the X1. I hope Huawei keeps on top of bug fixes. With a generic android memory manager this phone would be truly awesome.

I got my X2 today from fashioncoconuts on eBay and everything is good. It even came unlocked. I'm liking these eBay sellers.
Edit: after I did a factory reset it said the bootloader was locked. Now when I use Google Maps it tells me I must update my Google Play Services. When I do my Google Account Disappears and my Play Store doesn't open. I'm beginning to dislike Huawei's implementation of their apps. Blocking certain apps from being installed is totally lame on Huawei's part. Now the waiting game begins for my unlock code. I'm giving them three days. If not both phones are going on eBay and I'm done with Huawei. Rant over.

Good Ole fashioncoconuts. They raised the price big time by the time I was trying to jump in and also told me when they answered my message that they were temporarily out of stock. You got a GREAT deal on that one! Worth the wait!

Yeah. They told me they shipped it out on the 5th and didn't until the 15th. Now I know why. They raised the price too right after I bought it. A lot of these eBay sellers jack the price up way too high. No one should pay more than $399 for it. I'm just glad it came already unlocked. It seems Huawei is no longer sending emails to people with the unlock codes anymore.

I use bluetooth in car, and it connects automatically without turing screen on. There must be some other issue.

Ok, this morning bluetooth connect up fine (I'm on B108)
But I noticed the Lux (screen brightness app) had stopped in the background.
Services shutting down in the background was a huge issue on the X1 and for the most part seems to work on the X2 but it seems some things still get killed in the background once in a while even though they are "Protected Apps"
I'll keep monitoring and see if I notice anything else...

There are no custom roms for the S7 USA variants. It's not possible with a locked bootloader. We only have a few modified stock roms. I'm currently rooted and waiting for Xposed so I can finally have some decent performance and battery life.

I'm on an unlocked G930T on AT&T on Nougat and really have not found a reason strong enough to go through the rooting process. The only thing that pushes my buttons is that I can't use TB and can't kill some of the old TMO apps completely. But the phone is speedy, gets me through the day without a charge, and has resources available. I've got a theme I like and have most things white on dark which I like better.
So until root becomes extremely easy and reliable, I'm okay with what I've got.

Hi I'm also on an unlocked version of TMobile using ATT. Are you doing anything specific for better battery life? I went to sleep at 100% and woke up with 87%. I have disable those that can be, I'm on Nougat as well and haven't installed too many apps yet.

Not really, just disabled everything I'm not using. And I use the device maintenance to optimize and clear memory every now and then. And I try not to leave the screen on, etc. The usual stuff. I get a day with no issues. I bought some extra wireless fast chargers on eBay and use them if necessary but really feel like I wasted my money because I just set it on the charger at night and it normally goes all day. But I'm not a real heavy phone user. That's part of it.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

Buy Package Disabler Pro and disable all of the bloatware that comes with stock plus any other apps you feel like, my phone is flawless...
The only thing I miss about being rooted is Viper4Android, wish I could have that on stock.

I have no idea how, but it totally does.. It color coordinates system apps, user added apps and even known bloatware apps, making it easy to decide what to stop.
It's designed specifically for Samsung phones, and is the first app I install since I don't have root anymore.
Worth every penny.

Well from TMo you can get s7 edge for $480 or the flat s7 for $560? On the edge, they have fixed the palm rejection at lease on the coral blue.

Well that's weird. I bought it, tried to install it, and it says I'm rooted or there's some other issue and won't install. Obviously I'm not rooted so I don't know what's up.
After reading some of the later reviews there are many others with the same issue. I'm emailing them to see if there is any resolution.
You might want to try your app to see if it's still working correctly.

I haven't opened the app in months because, why? It just works..
As soon as I open it to check, the license check failed and all my frozen apps reappeared.
Now I can't get it to reactivate, it seems many people are having this problem since the upgrade to Nougat.
SUCKS... Why did I help you hahahahaha.. really though, it sucks. Hopefully they fix it, I'll leave Samsung if not.

I emailed them the evening I tried to install it and they sent a couple of suggestions. None of them worked so I let them know. They sent another email a couple of hours later and said "try it again" and this time is did work. So they fixed something.
Anyway, thanks. And sorry for jinxing you! But it's not all bad news. I ran your Thanks count up to double digits!

FWIW, I'm a long-time user of BK Package Disabler Pro. For me, it continued working both during the Nougat beta period and since installation of the final version.

A question from a ex Samsung User

Hey guys,
now its the time i finaly switch away from samsung to Oneplus for diffrent reasons. I except my new Oneplus 7t Pro next week.
So i used ''Disconnect Pro'' from Sasmung all the time for Adblocking/Tracking blocking in Internet and all system Apps. I guess this will no longer work on the Oneplus because of Knox. So im asking myslef, wich alternatives are out there for Oneplus ? Is Adhell an alternative or is there a smiliar free/pay app like DisconnectPro for Oneplus ? Im searching for an App, that not just block things in Internetbrwoser. In best case, i find something like DisconnectPro for system wide blocking. If there is nothing out, i would use my PerfectPrivacy VPN..not the best soulution, but better than nothing.
Beside of this..i cant wait till my new Device arrives next week :victory:

Blokada will be your friend. It is great

Adguard?
I use paid version and it performs ok.

Do this App blocking only Ads in your Brwoser or in the whole system ? I read description and guess this is just for Brwoser ? And that just for Yandex/Samsung Browser

The one in the play market is for browser only but if you go to adguard.com there's the app I am talking about. It's system wide.

Sounds perfect to me. Exact thing i searched.. thank you very much ! :highfive:

Well you can root the OP7t so if you plan on doing that then just get AdAway.

My suggestion is to forgo all of this stuff and just enable the "private DNS" setting to Adguard's DNS. It takes like 10 seconds, you don't have to install anything, and it gives you system wide adblocking without root... And it doesn't affect any previous DNS settings you may have set up with your phone and home modem/router. I don't know why this isn't talked about more.
Just go to "Settings/WiFi & Internet/Private DNS", and type out the DNS as I have here in the screenshot. No rebooting required.

Yeah, one of many reasons to buy this Device. I maybe Plan to, maybe not. I must see if i really need it, but if yes, AdAway will be for sure the first thing i install. Used AdAway long time on my (rooted)Samsung Devices, in my opinion is this one of the best Apps to do this Job systemwide.

Hey & welcome to XDA ! :highfive:
Its not my OP but to answer your question. I cant remember that you cant post a new thread as a new member. Maybe your Browser/Addons are not working correct or something is blocked wich is needed to post ?! Im not sure, as you can see i have a few days on XDA. If you still cant post i would recommend to you to write to an Moderator or Admin with your issue. Or maybe create yourself a new account just for testing reasons if this problem still presits for you.
Good luck !

You're gonna miss the hell out of the AOD and notification system that Samsung offered. I HATE my OP 7 pro due to these factors. For real world use it's a PIA truly

Know what you mean but guess what ? In the Enddays of my Samsungtime here and now, i dont use AoD or the wohle notification system. I just set up that my apps send me a classic ping ton when a message arrives. So this saves in case of Samsung a few % Battery over the Day. Not too much, but a bit. With this, i dont just need a notification LED. But guess that is something, that everone must see for himself, if this way is good and right to you. For me, it is. Was a big AoD Fan at the beginning, was just a cool feature, but over the time, i see no benefits for me.

Question Is there a package disabler that works for the S22 Ultra?

Like the title says, is there a PD out there that works on the s22? I need to debloat this phone and the latest version of Package disabler pro doesn't seem to work on the S22. It just keeps telling you to keep clicking until it fails and has you download the knox check which then makes you keep clicking forever.

Try this...

Yeah that's what I've have (3 device cloud copy), it doesn't work on the S22 ultra, at least it didn't for me. It works on my note 9, the older a8 tablet running 11 and the galaxy s8 that i traded in, but all it does on the s22u is keep telling me click and then download and install the knox apk then go back in and keep clicking forever.
It's a knox issue, and i think the guy needs to update something in it.

Try emailing them... they do respond.
Use adb edit. Running a Samsung without bloat control isn't a pretty picture.

Already did email him. Asked him to see what's up and take the s8 off my account since I traded it in.
Adb appcontrol looks promising, that was recommended by butchieboy
do you have a link to adb edit so i can check that out too?

Never had to use it, sorry.
Part of my massive feedback to Samsung has been for a native package disable on their phones. Not happy with Samsung... they've been disappointing lately.

Use adb app control. It's a PC app but it's free and amazing. You'll never have to waste money on that fleecing app package disabled ever again.

He fixed package disabler pro. It works now

Fixed for now. I've heard the issues on that app for years and people having to pay for it multiple times or releasing a new app for new phones. Shady at best.

yup, the guy wants you to pay for it every year, but at least he had it fixed within hours.
he also said if it shows up in the play store (google removes it a lot) and you buy it there you're basically screwed for support cause he'll make you rebuy it off his website no matter how long you've owned it.
but it works and you dont have to be a device admin, and once you get it working it stays working.
Not advocating for him, just saying the few things that can be compliments for how he operates

Yeah I appreciate he does support his app. He's been around for a long time and that does say something. At least we have options and we can be happy with what we choose to use. The freedom of android

Anybody try App Freezer yet? Just got my phone and looking to set it up. App Freezer has worked flawlessly on my Note 10+ since day 1.

I haven't tried it or heard of it but I like looking at apps recommended by other users so I'll check it out.

I took the plunge with App Freezer. Even with ADB side loading, install was quick. If you're gonna do it, it's best to do it first, because you have to delete all accounts to set it up. It's worked great on my Note 10+, my Tab S6, and now seems to be running fine on the S22 Ultra.

Installed it to today. Tried every which way to get it to work on my LG G7 but wouldnt recognize my phone.

I normally use adb without it so I followed this guide and then installed the app. Not sure it'll help but worth a shot.
Installing adb and fastboot on Windows PC

Another thumbs up for adb app control. I downloaded it earlier this morning and prefer it to paying for PDP or CCSWE.

Alliance Shield X works great for me from the Play Store. It's free!

Yeah it's shady. I paid for it twice and then figured out what he was doing. If he puts it on the store and it gets taken off the store and he gets it put back on you have to buy it again or it won't work when you download to use it. If you get a new phone then it won't work and you have to buy it again. If you go to sleep at night and wake up the next morning then it won't work and you have to buy it again lol. I have two package disabler apps in my apps list and both of them are obsolete.
