Obviously i'm going to try this. I went to just buy it given what you're asking, seems fair. Here is my thing though. I see you're offering it on a third party store. probably because some don't like using google store? I can understand this. Any way we/I could purchase it directly from you instead of adding yet another third party vendor/store to the list of places i have to get my apps from? Or for users who do not mind the play store pffer it there, ofcourse at a cost that lets you get what you think you deserve with the 30% google cut. If its a matter of privacy or the 30% google takes id rather just pay you and get a license file then some one else.

I don't publish it to Google Play Store, because they don't accept my country to sell apps :/. Both the free and the donation one are the same, if you are still wanting to donate you can use the donate button here in Xda and download the one at play store (I think that Google haven't updated it to the newest one, but they will). Or you can download the one in the OP (They all are the same).

its working well with the dropbox remote as well as connecting with my local address. However the android app does not show my correct local address it is showing my "Data" address even though i am connected to wifi.
Also, no worries. work it out as you can.

So is showing your data ip address instead of your wifi ip address? If it so try relaunching the app and entering with the wifi turned on.

Probably a long shot, but is there any way to disable it on my Korean Snapdragon variant SM-N986N? Since I'm not in Korea (Philippines here, had to import because I didn't want an Exynos) the feature is useless to me. It's an eyesore on my settings menu and I'm wondering if there's a way to get rid of it.

PD MDM package blocker probably get it.
For an unrooted phone it's the easiest way to go especially if there's other bloatware or apks you want to kill.
Easy to undo if you need it latter.

Will it also get rid of the app being displayed in the Settings menu? That's actually the more annoying part for me, it would've been fine if it's just simple bloatware, but it has to be bloatware that's the 2nd topmost of my settings menu, my latent OCD is triggered.

I use it to block Samsung Device Care. It removes it removes it from the settings menu when blocked.
The block apk doesn't run at boot.
Use a little caution with it though because it's active even in safe mode as it is set as a system administrator.
It never cost me a hard reset in over 2 years of use.
It's the first app I install on the phone...

This is the only one I now trust.

You can use ADB app control to disabled or unistall it. I tried and my phone now like KOO CSC, U+ apps .

That's useful in many cases but some you want to run occasionally like Playstore.
I toggle that along with a couple other blocked apks on the PD MDM widget so I can turn them on and off without going opening PD.
You can also use this on the fly blocking to track down and fix issues with the phone... it's useful.

As advised above, use the ADB AppControl.
It is a handy application manager that will allow you to disable any applications and bloatware. This is a free program, but at the same time it has huge capabilities and works great with Samsung and any other devices.

For example, I have disabled many applications on my two Android TVs and now they work much faster. In addition, it is much more convenient for me to use the application manager from my laptop, where I can delete / disable applications in some of mouse clicks.

There's some apks it can't hit but it gets all the bloatware, crap like the infamous AT&T updates and hidden bloatware like the Amazon cookie that you normally can't touch.
Installation and use are simple. Create backups and store them on the SD card and/or as email attachments.
It's a valuble troubleshooting tool that has saved me from reloads. It also can completely clear app data that you can't clear in settings (presumably nulls) and thus can fix system apps that can't be fixed otherwise without a reload.
Learn where to deactivate it if need be. A flashing kernel crash warning is no joke and if you can't disable it you will be doing a reload. Haven't seen this ever happen on the 10+ though.
It's been rock solid stable using little resources and almost no battery.

Im on emui 12 whit GMs working like a charm

I'm from Lithuania, still 11.0.0.230...

I got EMUI 12.
It brings no significant improvements in terms of performance or battery.
Just some cheap visual embellishments. All rubbish.
And a HUGE annoyance: the "Control Panel" - replacing let swiping down where notifications used to be. I hate this!
I want to disable it! I couldn't find out how.
Please help.

I have just updated to emui 12, and I run GMS with icebox and I now am able to use the play store, even tho framework is frozen - which is great! Does anyone else have this experience?

How can one "freeze" GSF ? Please explain the method. I realized that the main pb with Google issues is that GSF app that is uncontrollable.
GSF is toxic, no-one knows what is actually doing in background, cannot be controlled, stopped or prevented to change, update. This renders the entire Google stack unstable.

It is up to you.
Use this app on your computer. Search the app and disable it. After that it will be present on disabled list, in case you want to enable it back. When you enable it, play protect error will be present. Also when it is disabled, Play Store should not work.

Thanks. Q: can this app prevent GFS to update itself ?

I never find GSF updated. Play Store is responsible to update apps. And usually it updates Google Play Services, not Google Services framework.

It hasn't replace notifications swipe down. Control panel is swipe down on the right and notifications is swipe down on the left, but also once you swipe down you can swipe left and right to switch between notifications and control panel.
That said I find it annoying

I understand, so the Google Play Services (GPS) is the culprit then.
I re-phrase: is it possible, using the app you suggested above, to prevent GPS to update itself, without prevent it from running (stopping it) ?
I noticed the Google stack will fail also if GPS is stopped/disabled.
Moreover, why did you suggest in the first instance to "freeze" GSF and not GPS ?
Could you be more coherent please with your replies ?

2. It is used freeze and not disable, because Ice Box app has been used first time to disable Google Services Framework and gain notifications. Just FYI.

For the setup process did you have to remove all google accounts (and then reinstall after), connect phone to pc, debug, etc? Description of app sounded a little daunting. Do you think there's anything risky? I really DO NOT want to install the next android version, and am running out of time. Can't believe they're going to force it on me, so definitely want a workaround. Thanks for your help.

I use Package Disabler.
A adb edit can also be used.
Neither require removing Google accounts!

My personal method for disabling apps is by using this code in ADB
(assuming ADB is already setup and you have USB debugging enabled):
adb shell pm disable-user **ENTER.PACKAGE.NAME.HERE**
I personally use MiXplorer app, open menu on the left side, choose App then
search update; tap on what looks like the correct app and see the package
name. Each carrier may use different packages.
For me on my Huawei P30 Pro the complete command would look like this:
adb shell pm disable-user com.huawei.android.hwouc

I think adb is a little beyond me. I will give Package Disabler a try. This is what it says on its app page about removing Google acct, etc:, which I wondered if you had to do:
** No Rooting required **
** You will have to remove all google accounts temporarily to activate this app then you can add back your accounts**
** You will need to connect your device to PC once and run a command as listed below**
** Uninstall within few hours to get automatic refund, if you are not happy with the app**

I'm not 100% sure it will stop the clock once it's already ticking. I've never gotten that far. I do know it will prevent it from trying to update, though. Any update with those settings has to be manually checked. I don't even get notice when they're available.

Disable the app I showed you that should hopefully kill it...
Clearing the system cache apparently does not clear the download.
If it loads and upgrades the bootloader, you're boned.

PROBLEM: When I try to buy in playstore, it says transaction declined. I did read in one of the reviews that google has some kind of problem with license, surely political., although it still appears in playstore - can't get it. Is there any other way to get/buy/install the app?

A lot of apps get suspended for political reasons, but this one was legitimate. That said, if you are sure it's what you want, you can buy it on their website. It's the first Google result for "Package Disabler" but make sure to get what you want done as soon as you buy it. One of the big things that led to the app being removed was the developer revoking licenses to force additional purchases.

Thanks. It's on my list of things to do today. I did go to the site, and am slightly reluctant to use credit card, no paypal option even. I feel a lot more comfortable buying through playstore, not to mention the price on developer site is 5 british pounds, over $7 US. Wouldn't mind the price if it does what I want. Looks like a very complicated process from buying through activating. We'll see. It's a good lead for sure and I appreciate the input.

Before going the package disabler route, I've gone into developer options and have disabled automatic software update and am at the point of "stopping" the software update active app, but get a message saying the app cannot be stopped safely, so I'm still undecided. While looking around, I triggered one more software update postponement, so am down to one. Do you think it's safe to stop the software update in spite of the warning? I think it might help, or it might just reload next time phone is started.

While looking around, I triggered one more software update postponement, so am down to one. Do you think it's safe to stop the software update in spite of the warning? I think it might help, or it might just reload next time phone is started.

Best stop screwing around or it will make the decision for you... that update app is insidious and acts more like malware. It has just about every permissions there is.
If you don't package block it, don't be surprised if it supersedes your settings

Agreed, just a little scared of package disabler/app site/credit card info, but getting close

I've used it at least 3 times over the years. MC and Visa purchases in the US are insured and for 5 bucks I don't sweat it.
That update app is a ball buster, I hate it. It's caused me more trouble than any Android malware has in the last 8 years

If I copy something and then I open Google or other apps that support pasting from clipboard, I get a toast notification like the above.
I don't know where Google or the other apps paste what's on my clipboard.
This started recently.
How to stop this from happening?

Which phone/OS version?
Turning off Google play Services may stop it.
Any recent updates/upgrades?
Possible malware...

The mighty Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra .
There is no option to turn OFF Google Play Services (button is greyed out).
Received couple of Google Play System updates yesterday. I'm not 100% sure if this started after that though.
I don't think it is malware. But surely a bug.
I don't want to clear my clipboard history (which is possible using Samsung keyboard). And I don't think doing that will fix the problem either.

In Security Administrators disable Find My Device, now the button in active.

Will it delete the app data for Google Play Services (I don't want to do that)? Please see attachment.

Just remembered that this problem was there even before the updates yesterday. I had made a post on this about 10 days back.

Thank you. I forgot about this button completely. I wish there was a way to remove it so I don't click on it accidentally.

You're welcome. It's a security risk to let them pile up. The storage is limited to a finite number of items anyway.

Forgot the attachment in the previous comment.
Update: Deleted Google Play Services cache and it didn't help.

Try clearing the system cache.

Unfortunately android is so finicky the only options I would recommend is to do a full wipe and see if the issue remains. If it does, it is most likely another stupid android quirk (like notifcations unlocking your phone when the screen lock type is set to "none"), and the only permanent fix is to not use any google/samsung apps, keyboards, etc. because they all stink

At the moment, factory reset is not something I want to do. I hope an update would fix this.

If you have done a major firmware upgrade without doing a factory reset... it's time to.
If you used SmartSwitch that may be the problem. Again, factory reset.
Now you know one reason I don't upgrade or update the firmware.

You could do a full Nandroid backup which you can revert in case resetting did not fix the problem. Then troubleshoot by resetting to determine if this issue is an actual bug or not. If it is indeed a bug then good luck and hopefully your backup restores properly so you dont have to redo everything.
What Is A Nandroid Backup and How Exactly Does It Work?
You need that backup at the ready.

My device is fully stock.

It was only Google app that was doing this. The only other app that was doing it as mentioned in OP was my clipboard app. I have corrected the OP to reflect this fact.
I deleted the app data for Google app. Now I'm not getting the toast notification as before. Hopefully this has fixed the problem.
If I search on the internet, there are articles on this already from earlier, and the only solution so far seems to be to block those specific apps from accessing the clipboard. But that would require ADB, which is far from ideal.
NOTE
By removing this permission from an app, you can no longer use the "paste" feature while inputting text within that app. This shouldn't be a problem for apps like games, but it may cause an inconvenience for other apps.
Users should have the choice under Settings to decide which apps can access clipboard.
Ideally, no app should be allowed access, except for dedicated clipboard apps themselves.
ADB method
Why do apps paste from my clipboard as soon I open them (without manually pasting anything)?
I have a Google Pixel 5a running the latest version of Android 12 (I updated a couple of days after I bought it, so I didn't use Android 11 much if at all). I noticed that a lot of apps trigger the...
