Would like to ask some details about 1Mobile. How does "settings" diable after purification?

We will not record app installation log. We only detect apps on your phone to manage them.

UU will not gather or upload any of your private data. You can find related information from the Software License and Service Agreement of UUappPurifier
[Android Apps and Games] uusafe:
We will support it ASAP! Coming soon!:(
[Android Apps and Games] Ultimous:
I am sorry ; it want 1mobile , it's "Aptoide"; the adult filter which is location intrusive is the one that can't be changed " it's locked; I like that and Wana make it permanant , "

There are other apps that also are affected negatively by the purifier .. ; Samsung's Pen.Up is one of them ; can't upload photos via gallery share menu after purifier had reinstalled it " ..

What do you deem as "personal Data" that you won't collect ..

; you.must understand that app purifier is something nice & new BUT is Closed-Sourced ; hence the privacy concerns .:rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] uusafe:
We are checking into it. Would like to know your phone model and Android version. Thanks for your patience.

If there are other apps that have working problem after purification besides those two apps?
[Android Apps and Games] Ultimous:
Yes there are many ; NIMBUS for example , system apps like Samsung apps ..

I forgot the rest because I deleted the app for the following reasons & have asked the family to do the same ..

1-intenet connection .

2-you chose to ignore my concern about which & what is you "call" personal data that you "won't " collect .

3-That the app turns on "downloading from unknown sources " & leaves it on (huge security risk) ..

4-you take too.long addressing/replying to those concerns ..

We will give it a try once those issues are resolved .

Can you just confirm what data you are collecting

This app is really functional and useful but can you confirm what data you are collecting especially when the app communicates with the following sites ?

h..p://alog.umeng.com/app_logs

h..p_://oc.umeng.com/check_config_update

h..p_://uustore-api.uusafe.com:9000/uustore/api

h..p_://rebuildapk.uusafe.com

h..p_://uustore-api.uusafe.com:8800/uustore/config/%s/config.json

Could you just confirm what each site is and what actual data from the device you are collecting and storing at these sites ?

Thanks and great app - keep up the great work.

Under impression that the development is somehow stopped/slowed down after removal from Play Store by Google. Hope it goes on because in my opinion this is much more effective than Greenify. Anyway it's time to move on I guess.

Sorry for the misunderstanding we made.

1. Intenet connection is needed during the purification.

We do not want to violate the integrity of Android security system. We can check the app's potential security risk via our DB during the acquisition of signature, and we also will provide the suggested granular permission setting for better use the app. To ensure update of purifed apps, signature must be kept for unicity.

2. The "personal data" we mentioned including your SMS log, call log, contacts, phone number, location etc. The data we collect including how many times you open our app, the failure rate of purification, crash log of UU and purified apps.

We will not keep logs of apps installed on the device. We only detect which apps are in your phone to manage them.

3. We will provide a store app like Google Play sinve v2.0 and "downloading from unknown sources " is needed for a market, as well as the installation of purified apps in former versions. At the same time, we are trying to find a way to optimize it.

4. The source can't be afforded as it is the basis of our business.
[Android Apps and Games] teid:
Thanks the reply. Their seems a lot of server requests but data is obfuscated but also only http - can this be moved to HTTPS ?

Also their appears to be between 5 and 40+ requests to your servers even when the app is "force stopped" - which seems excessive - I am no developer so please excuse my ignorance as I just want to make sure you app is not "leaky" and my personal data is not been stored,shared or looked at by you - whether you are American, British or Chinese :)

Your app and its concept is the best security concept and design I have seen for a long time and I want to use it fully however you must be more tranaparant about how it communicates and what actual data it sends to your severs - if you have my make model and serial number I don't mind but if you have logs, Mac addresses or other identifying data I would have to think twice before using it.

Could you just describe what how and where my data is being used and sent to you as I awsnt to use the app now ;)

Thanks and your work and concept is brilliant :D
[Android Apps and Games] madprofessorus:
Can't find it on play store
[Android Apps and Games] uusafe:
1. We considered about HTTPS before. Maybe we will improve it in the future.

2. The "personal data" (including your SMS log, call log, contacts, phone number, location etc.) will not be uploaded. The data we collect including how many times you open our app, the failure rate of purification, crash log of UU and purified apps.

3. Data sent to our server includes phone model, MD5 of serial number, crash logs (to analyse problem and improve the stability of UU). Mac addresses or other identifying data or other logs will not be sent to our server.

Thanks for your support.
[Android Apps and Games] uusafe:
You can get UU AppPurifier from http://www.uusafe.com/

We are astonished to know that our UU AppPurifier has been removed form Google Play recently and hereby we think it necessary to say:

1. Google claims that UU AppPurifier "interferes with or accesses another service or product in an unauthorized manner", but actually Purifying app will only wrap the original apk locally and reinstall the wrapped apk. Wrapped apk is exactly same as the original one, except it is loaded by the wrapper. As a result, all access to your privacy and unexpected behaviors will be under your control.

2. We are always committed to design and deliver products that concentrated on boosting your phone and keeping it from harassment/invasion.

3. We will definitely not stop updating current UU AppPurifier and of course, we will add more practical functions in coming versions for FREE forever. You can get update through xda, our website, and inside our app.
[Android Apps and Games] teid:
Thanks

Many thanks for your response.

HTTPS would be a good addition. Also a method to create your own Location and Phone Model would be good.

The work on all Google Apps will also be useful but I image this will be very difficult to achieve but look forward to it happening.

Once again the concept of this app is brilliant and it has a lot of utility for anyone concerned about privacy and security so please keep developing and releasing - I will be using it now and will let you know if I have any issues.

Thanks again for replying and I look forward to the next release :)

FAQ

1. What is cleaned app?

Cleaned app is an original app loaded by wrapper. Granular permission management can be realized after cleaning. App cleaning will wrap the original app in your phone locally and reinstall the wrapped app so all access to privacy will be controlled. The wrapped app is exactly the same one as the original app, except it is loaded by the wrapper, so it is safe to use.

2. What permissions can be controlled after cleaning?

Granular app permissions includes autorun, background running, notifications, SMS sending, call making, SMS access, call log access, contact access, phone number acquisition, and location.

3. How to update an original app to cleaned version?

There are 3 ways to get app “cleaned”:

1) All apps downloaded from UU Market are cleaned version.

2) Update apps downloaded from other markets to cleaned version through “Permission”>“App Manager”>“Original”

3) Set Cleaning Installer as default installer. Apps installed by Cleaning Installer are cleaned version as well.

4. Can cleaned apps update as usual?

Yes. Through two ways:

1) The most convenient way: Update through UU Market

2) Install update APK through Cleaning Installer

5. Differences between cleaned app and the original app

Cleaned app is on the basis of the original app but with a wrapper. The wrapped app is exactly the same one as the original app, except it is loaded by the wrapper, so granular permission control can be realized.

Declaration: UU will not gather or upload any of your private data.

6. Cleaned app is not pirated one and contains no virus!

App cleaning means adding a wrapper to the original app to have fine-grained permission control, which will cause signature change. Cleaned version may be recognized as pirated or unsafe by some security or market apps, please ignore it.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Thanks for the update! It's nice although im not too sure the direction of including yet another 3rd party market in the app itself is a good thing or not.

However immediately I found an issue affecting user experience whereby the app does not list or filter out all the running apps which are currently having autorun permission, and which are the running apps are having background service permission, and which are the running apps having location access permission, etc. Right now the list is just empty, with a message saying "Try cleaning some app", which is not so effective in my opinion.

Hopefully you can have a list of running apps separated by permission to help user decide which app to purify in the next release, or a quick fix for this : )

Many thanks as always.

---------- Post added at 02:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 AM ----------

ok, I haven't even able to use it normally. it is quite buggy now I think.

1) I have purified AdAway and disabled autorun, background and notification permission, tried to open the app and immediately got forced closed.

2) Then I decided to undo purification of AdAway through your app, and the process is not automated like when doing cleaning installation, whereby I need to manually click on "uninstall" and then manually click on "install" button to install the original apk, which is inconsistent coz I was expecting both cleaning installation and undo purification are both automated.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] rafaelloaa:
Edit: Nevermind, I see you don't have support for arm64 yet. Any word on when you will? (also you might want to put that back into the main post here, it appears to have been edited out).

This app looks incredibly useful, especially for those like me who don't have root. I just went and installed the app from your website, and upon launching it get the popup "UU does not support the CPU type on your phone. We will support it in coming versions...".

I'm using a stock HTC M9 from Verizon, running 5.0.2. Chipset is Qualcomm MSM8994 Snapdragon 810, with a Quad-core 1.5 GHz ARM Cortex-A53 & Quad-core 2 GHz Cortex-A57, if that helps.

So is that notification accurate, or just a bug? If it is accurate, when will you support the M9?

Many thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] uusafe:
Very sorry for the inconvenience we brought. Want to ask some details.

Do you have purified apps on your phone now, or you are using a phone without any purified app.

Under normal circumstance, all apps you purified before should be shown in the cleaned list, so it must be a bug and we are checking into it now.

And if you have no purified apps on you phone, the presentation is normal, and we will improve this part in recent version.

Will contact you if we need more information. Thanks a lot for your patience.
[Android Apps and Games] uusafe:
Thanks a lot for your support.

Arm64 will be supportive very soon. Maybe next version.;)

Have added back into the main post:)
[Android Apps and Games] uusafe:
If you have puridied apps on your phone and they were shown in purified list in v1.2.6, but disappear in cleaned list in v2.0, we would like to ask some details:

Where did you put those purified apps? SD card or phone memory card?

If there are some apps lost in unpurified list (original list). If yes, where do you put those apps?

It could be helpful if you can do a test for us:

1. Go to "Settings">"Application manager">"UU Market" to clear data, go to UU Market to see if those purified apps came back.

2. If not, install UU v1.2.6 to see if those purified apps appeared.

Thanks a lot for your patience.

Server Request

As you can see from the screen shot their are lots of requests to your server - not quite sure why you need that many to occur so can you reduce or give an option to stop this occurring as in my opinion this is a bit too much and very aggressive logging/reporting ?
[Android Apps and Games] rafaelloaa:
If you don't mind me asking, what app are you using to monitor that, and is it available to non-root phones? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] uusafe:
I dont know what the blocked requests are. Our app updates logs (for crash log, app usage in purifier to improve UI experence) for at most 1 time per day. There is only one kind for instance server request, that's "purifying", which will request server for security check and signature verifying, but it only occurs when you purify an app. And, all of our server locate in one country.

Are you sure those request were created by uu apppurifier? I have checked into the source code, and all above is my conclusion.
[Android Apps and Games] Qay:
Your UU app is not very trustworthy for me so far. Removed from Google Play? Gazillion data requests to servers in 3-5 countries? Thanks but no.
[Android Apps and Games] teid:
Some more requests

Hi, so I checked and tried another monitor app and as you can see itvis defiantly your application calling your server multiple times every hour - this is after I force stopped the app and made sure it is not running ?

Rafaelloaa - Lost Net Firewall, Mobiwol and No Root Data firewall - all 3 appa do not require root - but use either with caution as they are not a "full proof" way of blocking/managing all network connections - I only use them to easily visualise app connections - so please don't rely on them !

UUSAFE ? Connections ? And please why did you change the app from a great concept of security and privacy to an App store type app which I will never use ? As the security environment keep telling us never install apps from anything but Google Play store ( and yes that is still not 100% however!) I would never download and trust/Install an app from your store !

Please revert app back to providing security and privacy,allow us tondo on device purifying and stop your unnecessary server connections and I will happily pay for the app - yes release an app store version for the people who wish to do that but allow us the choice of 2 apps?

Thanks and look forward to your response. (Sent from my mobile so please excuse grammar band spelling!)
[Android Apps and Games] uusafe:
please refer to my next comment to teid, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] uusafe:
As you block the logging connections, UU tries always in next launch. That's why you blocked many times connections. We will add an option to "disable logging" in future version. There are 3 kinds of server connections in our app: 1, logging, 2, purifying, 3, a public analytics library named umeng. In future version, we will have an option to allow functional connections only(loading apps list, purifying).

Two facts cause us turning to current version:

1, There is an important and essential function missing in previous version: update of cleaned apps. we need provide all apps from GP to support updating.

2, Lots of people hate "re-installation" of app, but love controlling autostart and granular permission. If we work as a security app, we will always have to uninstall app, discard app data, and re-install it. But if we work as a market app, all you need to do is downloading new app, using it.

BTW, all apps in our market are identical with other markets. The only difference is the app will be purified automatically before it is installed. Technically speaking, apps in our market are safer than others, as they are controlled by you for privacy controll.

We have no interest to charge for this app. And we have very limited resource to support two app. We will focus on new features and continue to improve UI and functionality.

I am very sorry if we are not working as you want. We do hope you understand us. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] teid:
Thanks for the reply and trying to explain the logging however I am not convinced with your explanation.

I understand why you have changed your app to an App Store app rather than a security app however I was looking for security and privacy and not an app store. With other apps that offer privacy functionality such as App Ops and Cyanogenmod and now the granular permissions being displayed in Android M people can control these security and privacy settings without the requirement for another App store.

I would also err on the side of caution when stating "Technically speaking, apps in our market are safer than others" as you offer no form of malware, virus, code checking or any other security controls other than 'wrapping' (injecting) your code into apps without checking those apps in the first place - I would say your apps are not secure as anyone can download any of your apps from your app store, decompile them, inject code, recompile, re-sign and 'purify' without any security checks by yourself - yes this is true of any app store especially Google however at least they offer a 'concept' of security on the Play store - but you dont.

I am pleased you are keeping this free however your app is not a security of privacy app - you are just another app store and with Android M you will not offer anything other than another app store for people to use - this is obviously your market so good luck.

I will definatley keep an eye on what you are doing as your original concept of securing and wrapping an app to control permissions is great however you seem to have drifted to an app store concept rather than sticking with allowing users to have control of what they do and how they do it.

Good luck and keep up the good work..........
[Android Apps and Games] uusafe:
Not only a simple app market, UU Market (former name UU AppPurifier) provides granular permissions control to boost your phone and protect your privacy.
[Android Apps and Games] :
I have a rooted phone, and I put all my apps in phone memory by default.

Yes I did clear data and the result is the same.

What I mean is shown in the screenshots as per attached below, that is UU Market should show a list of all installed apps with "Autorun" permission for example, instead of an empty list expecting user to "guess" which apps is having what permission. I remember in v1.2.6 the list is shown for user convenience.

Many thanks as always.

[Android Apps and Games] KarleeFayard:
very nice.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Not a single app purified. And why does that matter in this case? I'm thinking UU Market should have tell me a list of apps with Autorun or Background Running permission, to start with so I can decide which app(s) to purify : )
