Wow, AT&T blocks non market apps?

That is so pathetic. Just another reason to hate that company.
Anyway...my friend just got an inspire and is new to android. I'm just helping with the phone (I have a verizon android phone) and realized that AT&T finds someway to screw with consumers again. So, is there a way to get around this and install non market apps?

You can use sideload wonder machine http://forum.androidcentral.com/android-sideload-wonder-machine/
Or root the phone and load a custom ROM that has non market apps enabled

the sideload wonder machine method is sipmple the only drawback is that the apps wont receive updates like they would from the market, if I'm not mistaken.

Also if I remember correctly if the app is to big for side load wonder machine, you can use adb push. There are always work arounds.

That's why it's such a sweet feeling when you uninstall their application through TiBu........

You can also consider rooting the device. I did mine with no issues at all. It's VERY easy, just time consuming. From start to finish, took me about 35 minutes. I already had EVERYTHING I needed to do this though, including the ROM I wanted.

I am interested to know what apps are good that aren't on the marketplace. I would like to find some other cool stuff I can put on this phone. I put swype on and that was fun to side load. Would like to do some other stuff. Inform me please.

You want good go to Amazon App store, in the past few days I got a full version of Shazam and then SoundHound. Both have full unlimited use with no expiration, also if you change rom's you can redownload them from your account for as long as you have the account. They give away a full paid app everyday on there.

Bloat freezer apk

For those of you that had bloat freezer by Trey Holland, and made the mistake of un-installing it quickly to find you can no longer get it again due to it being pulled from the market, I extracted the APK. Here it is, install and enjoy.

Isn't bloat freezer a paid app? You can't post those here...

It *WAS* a paid app (and since it is no longer for sale and the developer has been suspended, it does not qualify as a paid app since you cannot buy it). However, 1 it is no longer available on the Market. 2 I spoke with Google on the phone today about it, and they said it was pulled because the developer has been suspended. This all came about because I just upgraded my epic4g yesterday to the Touch and wanted to re-install it, however it was no longer in the market. Google explained to me what happened, so I did the next best thing, I made an APK from another phone that still had it installed, and transferred it to my Galaxy 2.

Tells me that there is an update in the market, wont let me update so it wont let me use it :/ Really annoyed since I've actually bought this app, I have emailed the dev and he has said that they will be re-releasing with a new icon and description
We have to buy that again and then send an email with our new invoice and our old invoice and we'll be refunded

Yes exactly, some people with an older version of market can still see it, but it won't allow them to update it. Google pulled it. For all others it is not even visible. That is why I posted the APK for the file. It is the most up to date version of the app. An email to the dev wil quickly get you an auto-responded email stating that "he doesn't know why google keeps pulling it, and will release a new one, and that you will have to re-purchase." From who I talked to today at Google, I wouldn't count on that happening so much... but again not relevant since this APK IS the most recent version of the app, and most probably the last time it will ever be seen.

Cott, I reflashed my phone today and spent and hour trying to find this app. Your .apk won't run as it says there's and update. Is there anyway around this?

I cannot say why that is happening. I have not had that problem, I installed it today on my Sprint Epic 4G (2.3), my new Galaxy II Touch that I got yesterday, and my Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1, including a friends T-MO mytouch. I am not running any custom ROM's on any of my devices, I simply have them rooted so that I can get rid of bloatware, freeze the stupid crap, and not pay $29.99 a month for wireless tether.... I am not a dev......perhaps a dev with the time can look into the problem you are having and figure out a work-around? Any devs out there?

You can freeze any app also with Titanium.

Bloat Freezer was a buck, how much is Titanium?

Going to give this a try. Still running it on my Nexus S with no problems so far. Started with fresh clean stock ROM then rooted my E3d and couldnt find it in the market (now I know why). I'm using Antek right now (which is pretty good as well as another member stated) on my E3D.

Yes Titanium Pro is a must have app for rooted users, no question about it. However for the purpose of freezing apps, I find and many others have found as well that Bloat Freezer does it much better, and is able to freeze apps that Titanium can't. (Titanium will "freeze" certain apps, but then upon reboot, they are no longer frozen. (again that is with certain apps, and seems to be more or less of a problem based on what phone you are using and what ROM. Bloat Freezer does work better for the purpose off app freezing. Period. An added bonus of Bloat Freezer is that it color codes apps of what it thinks are completely safe to freeze, which ones you DO NOT want to freeze, and ones that it does not recommend freezing, which is very valuable for alot of "new to rooting" people we have floating around XDA, and therefore has the potential to prevent alot of un-needed posts and fights and other BS that goes on on XDA, therefore is benificial to our community. I have played with antek app manager as another person pointed out. I do find it to be a usefull app and has its purposes for sure. It's a must have as far as I am concerned, although lately I have been leaning more on "Gemini app manager". You should check that one out as well. Again though, for freezing bloat, nothing is as effective or safe, or "newb friendly" as Bloat Freezer. Oh, and to the other person pointing out that it is (was) only $1, good point, titanium pro is currently going for $6.96.

When I said Titanium was a must have regardless for root users, I should of said that I meant the PRO version of course. Thats why I posted this APK, because I know I loved it and I knew there must have been thousands of others that did as well, and since it is no longer available I figured this is one way I can contribute back to the XDA community.

I had purchased this app and wasn't able to re-download it when I upgraded from my DX to my Bionic.
I just installed the APK you posted and whenever I launch the app, it tells me there's a new version and the choices are Update or Exit. If I choose update it takes me to the market where it can't find the app. If I choose Exit, it just exits out of the app so it can't be used.
Hitting the back button on the phone dismisses the pop-up, but it still doesn't list any of the apps, and then selecting Refresh just bring the pop-up back.
Looks like I'm screwed.

Sorry, but just because it's no longer available on the market, doesn't mean it's no longer a paid app.

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 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.

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.

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...

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.

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've used CCWSE for a long time and right before the Note 20 Ultra came out he let his license lapse or something and had to switch to Package Disabler Pro. Not on the beta program so still on 10 but I bet they'll both be working when 11 comes out of beta.

Samsung revoked his license because he had a "free product" that you could buy a key for. Somewhere deep in the fine print this was against their rules.
He had to rerelease his product with a new license with pay only version and he is offering refunds to folks who previously purchased it.
That being said, CCSWE the new version works fine with Android 11 as of the current beta.

Just to you all know that Package Disabler Pro is back in the game.
It took 38 minutes between my request for support and the successful reply with download link and new license code.
Hope you guys enjoy.
Nice regards.

Hi Kdio,
Tell me please, how can I get that app and if is working without root.
I have Note 20 Ultra 5G Snapdragon version and it seems close to impossible to root this model, even though I had rooted all my previous versions and hate this bloatware.
I noticed the phone sending quite frequent notifications with hidden content and I can't do anything to stop it. It's so frustrating to have no full control over your expensive phone.

I feel you. It drives me bonkers every time I get a random t-mobile carrier services hidden content notification since the android 11 update. I removed that app from day 1 and wiped my cache but it still pops up now and then. Short of resetting the phone I don't know what else to do..

Many thanks for the reply dj24, please let me know how did you remove that app. And maybe how can I remove many others, which I never asked for. I have noticed that there is a service: facebook installer. Are you kidding me? On my own phone !
It's like I'm buying a new car with banners all over it and having to transport people who I don't know. All the time!!! Is that the respect we're getting for our hard earned money?

Much appreciated Kdio,
Will give it a try and hope it works. Really, it's touching to see how a small community as XDA is getting together for fixing the problems and offer freedom of choice to the end users, when this should have been done by the greedy manufacturer in the first place.
Thanks and hat off.

Ladies and gents, as our friend here Kdio has shared his knowledge with us, indeed I can confirm after two days of usage that the Package Disabler Pro version for Samsung (mine is Note 20 SM -N986U), is working fine. It disabled for me many bloatwares, even though some of them are stubborn, like carrier hub, which has to be disabled from the settings as well. However, overall is one of the best option for a non-rooted phone. I paid a small amount (about $5) for the app and received the pro key within minutes. If anyone here has better options, will be glad to know them. .https://packagedisabler.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/package-disabler-ultimate

Yes Samsung Package Disabler Pro is now working for me as well. I contacted support and they sent me a new apk. That one opened up and everything but it had bugs. They have now sent me a stable apk and it is working better than ever!

Started using this a couple days ago after the idiot with CCSWE lost his license again and yes it will work on all services.

The cheap way is using the ADB method from TK at xda @youtube same old commands.
I know, it's tedious, as apps might be reinstalled on updates, that's the issue with this and package disable app.

You're right it is cheaper but you can't enable and disable on the fly when your away from a PC! I have several root apps on my Note 20 Ultra that just need a couple adb commands to make them work. Been using adb since the T-Mobile G1, the only limitation is it can't be done on the fly.
