I do not see any comnplaints or ref so can only assume you came here first, before using the search button. Thats the VERY first thing to do before asking me what TeMeFI can do. Its not my responsibility on what you know or don't know, I answered the questions as asked, And again, no search results complaints, tells me you did not do a search before reaching out, which tells me your actions are not "can I try to fix this for myself", no, ill make it5 someone ekses problem. And ANIOTHER long post I am not reading. Let it go and accept you may just have not taken the best path. Dont make excuses / explanations trying to justify our actions. These responses are OT^% and what6 waste the most time.

I also do not see any ref to search for Magtisk module or Xposed. Am I talking to the wind.
[Android Apps and Games] HippoMan:
I didn't explain in writing what I did before coming here, but I did a lot. I never come here before having done lots of investigtion on my own, and I never ask about what TeMeFI can do without lots of such prior investigation. It's understandable that my not having given you such written explanation might have given you the impression that I just came here with the (incorrectly assumed) attitude of "Hey, just fix this for me", but it's not the case.

But like I said, that's understandable ... so no hard feelings.

UPDATE: For years (literally) I only have decided to ask here in this TeMeFI thread as a last resort after I have exhausted all other possibilities of investigtion that I could think of. This is also the case here, as much as you might not have understood that in this particular instance. Anyway, this will continue to be my last resort ... and perhaps even more of a last resort now than before.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
the FIRST resort you should of done is SEARCH. Thats why I created the search button,. I personally use it ALL the time on my own app. To not have to answer every single little jiggly thing 000's of users would ask. Its a free app. accept you failed to do your own search and neither investigated the paths I suggested BEFORE asking again for an answer you WANT/LIKE on a silver spoon, not need. And move on., please stop trying to excuse what you have done with "justifications". or with an attempted veiled subtext of threats of "more the last resort".
[Android Apps and Games] HippoMan:
I already did my TeMeFI searches via the "search" button before posting anything in this TeMeFI thread, as well as going through each and every item in all the "app"-related sections and some other sections ... before even asking anything about this here.

In my original post here about this (post #1526), I wrote, "I looked through all the menus, and I didn't find any answer to the following question ... but if I overlooked something, please forgive me." Even though I didn't specifically mention the word "search", my "looked through all the menus" statement meant that the "search" button was also used.

You either have me mixed up with some other recent poster, or you maybe forgot what I originally wrote, or perhaps because you didn't see the specific word "search", maybe you therefore incorrectly jumped to the conclusion that I didn't do any such search.

And you must not have read some of what I wrote in my subsequent clarifications, possibly because you said that you characterized them as "TMI" ... because those posts were not asking for anything from you per your false characterization about "silver spoon" querying, but rather, I was just trying to explain what was previously misunderstood.

Either way, your characterizations of how I approached this are false ... which is another misunderstanding on your part.

I will gladly accept your apology for these false accusations you are now making here.

And I already apologized for writing in an unclear manner, which I know contributed to our misunderstandings, and I also already apologized for wasting your time with my verbose and failed attempts at clarification, which just made things worse. I apologize again for all this.
[Android Apps and Games] HippoMan:
If I ever want to ask any question in this thread again, from now on I think I should always make a point to preface my question itself with the following statements (or something worded similarly) ...

(1) I have already used the "search" button, as I always do when I have a TeMeFI-related question, but I couldn't find any information that addresses what I'm trying to figure out.

(2) I have also already gone through all the menu entries in TeMeFI which relate to my question, as well as other seemingly non-related menu entries -- as I always do before posting here -- but I still couldn't find any information that addresses what I'm trying to figure out.

(3) I have also done what I always do and checked in other venues ... both in XDA and elsewhere ... and even so, I still couldn't find any information that addresses what I'm trying to figure out.

(4) If it turns out that I have overlooked any helpful information in these investigations, I apologize in advance.

(5) I will now therefore post my question, but keep in mind that I sometimes fail to explain things clearly. If I find out that I might have mis-explained anything in this question I'm about to post, I might want to then re-post it using different wording, in order clarify what I actually was trying to ask about.

(6) I never want nor ever have wanted you to solve my problems for me nor do my work for me, and I am not by any means looking to be fed with a "silver spoon" for any information. I am only asking here to find out ...

(A) ... if I might have overlooked something in the investigations that I described above;

... or ...

(B) ... if perhaps from your prior experience you might know one or more other places where I can look (doing my *own* investigation) for the information I'm seeking.

(7) Now, here is my question ...

[ Question will then appear here ]

Also, since I have a tendency to over-react when I'm being misunderstood and as a result being mis-characterized, and since I then sometimes launch into way overly verbose attempts to clarify myself, and since this is a bad habit that often just adds to the misunderstandings and makes things worse, from now on, whenever I feel myself misunderstood and falsely characterized in these kinds of discussions, I will try to remember to refrain from those very unhelpful written clarification responses, and instead, I will just write ...

False accusation

(or I'll simply abbreviate it as "FA" for those who know what I mean).

And then, I will write no more and drop the matter.

Chill, it's Christmas! 🎅
[Android Apps and Games] HippoMan:
Thank you very much.

And Merry Christmas! ... and Happy Upcoming New Year!

And for the coming new year, I resolve to stick with my above-described posting strategy here, and also to refrain from my overly long attempts to clarify.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, also, @DiamondJohn.

Hello! any pixel user here?

I am running pixel 6a with android 13 and dec5,2022 sec patch and play system update of nov1,2023. (also have android auto update off through dev options)

can someone confirm the detach(option 3) work on youtube? I use the youtube vanced (Rooted) and after installing i detatch with temifi, reboot, but after a few hours the youtube auto updates (all auto updates on playstore is stopped) and i again have ads :(

can someone help on how to stop youtube from auto updating, Thanks a million in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
I can confirm it works. I have a pixel 4a, running A13 crDroid. But is has worked on about 4 phiones I have had 9over the years, down to about oreo I would say. Maybe earlier.

Run the check method to see it is all working as expected, save the results, zip them up, and attach / post here. Yu could also9 run the detach again. save th9ose results, zip and post here. NOT A SCREENSHOT!
[Android Apps and Games] aseferfan:
thank you for the reply, but i have deleted all detatch artifacts and reinstalled vanced youtube, for some reason i cannot find the youtube package name in list of packages to select to detach, cannot even find it in "CHECK" detach of an app...but youtube is of course installed...the vanced one
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
This EXACT issue has been covered MANY Times in the thread, including how to correct the situation. Its an issue with the PlayStore, NOT in TeMeFI.

You can only detach something that is attached in the playstore, since you did NOT install ReVanced from the playstore (ie "behind its back"), it has not caught up to the fact that it is installed.

Find Youtube in the playstore, click "update" BUT CLICK cancel before it installs. It will then be available for detachment. And it will be at the top of the list, not in alphabetical order (again, if you search the thread, it would of told you this already). So, it may even be in the list of apps you already have!

Please search the thread first, its a rule of XDA.
[Android Apps and Games] mugendon:
I tried to detach an app, but the confirmation dialog looked broken (for forum searches: %REPLACE1%) so I canceled the operation.

What should I do?
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
Yeah, its simply a display. it has NO effect on the detach. I use %REPLACEP{n}% to show what selection you made in previous steps, but I have to add extra code to do the actual replacement. Its on the list of to Do, just other more important stuff. It has NO effect whatsoever, its simply a visual "nicety". But, Im happy at least someone is reading the things I spend time typing!!!
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
This is going to be a little strange. The last release I tagged as BETA. The reason I tagged it as BETA was because I saw a strange thing/bug with the menu; But I thought I would release as is as it was easy to work-around, and the change to the playstore / detach would be more helpful than the confusion the menu may create.

However, I have been running this BETA version myself, and I have yet to have seen the issue again.

Has anyone seen an issue with the menu getting confused / lost in the BETA version? Does anyone know how to duplicate it, if they have seen it?
[Android Apps and Games] alecxs:
Nope, not really. but I am not that extensive.. user.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
So I have been a little obsessed recently with building my Firewall for my desktop Win11 PC, so havent payed as much attention to TeMeFI as usual. I of course still usee it daily. And It kinda does most of what I personally need.

Anyway, the main things I know that could benefit with attention are:

1. In the playstore, I have one detachment that appears for an update, but of course does not get updated. I also notye that there ius sometrhing not 100% in its attachmentk so I dont detach it as thorouhly. Its a google issue, but still, I need to look into why it fails my tests to see if I can dummy & fix it up.

2 This one has been ion the todo list for a whlle

3 Anything Else? and to be clear, I am talking about fixing existing functionality not new requests.
[Android Apps and Games] mugendon:
I just noticed that detach worked a little too good (Pixel 7 with Android 14 and Temefi 1.2.02):

I detached 3 apps with the first method (including YouTube, because I thought "why not try the method with less voodoo first") and it worked great for alle 3 apps.

Then the days went by and I sometimes saw the play store notification to update apps and I did it. Eventually I noticed that the notification said "20 new updates" but when opened it only a few were ready for an update. Didn't think much about it until today where I looked up the installed app in the play store. And only about half of my apps are shown there. I looked up some of my apps and I found e.g. chrome which had an update ready, but was not shown in the installed list nor in the ready for update list.

I looked up your post about "how to detach" (which I previously already did before detaching) and couldn't find anything I did wrong.

Is this something fix worthy or did I miss something obvious?

Edit: I fixed it (removed the detach stuff with temefi + deleted play store storage) and was now able to compare: Installed apps went from 40 to 160. 0 available updates to 28.
[Android Apps and Games] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
yes, I just did and the sole reason I came here to ask if the beta might do this. I ended up rebooting my pixel 6 pro (running LOS / MAGISK) and it worked, but then didnt. I wiped the app data and tried again, this time it seemed correct.

I cant reproduce it on demand, but what I did do was try to detach the youtube (vanced) music, it wasnt found, so I did the update trick, closed, re-opened and it was there, but thats when it got confused. After enabling music, I went to search for YouTube itself and the menus got squirly with app names not showing up or weird. I dont know how else to explain it, it was quick and I didnt let it do anything after I saw that so thats why I closed it / re-opened so IDK how to repeat it (if even possible). I was also in the play store trying to get youtube to show up, so I hit update / cancel ASAP, and went back in the app. That seems to be the hiccup but IDK how to reproduce it and it hasnt come back (but I am also not detaching any other apps then YT / YT Music). I am trying to give you as much info as I remember to help reproduce it, but it was so quick and I got nervous and force closed the app, then rolled back all within 3-5 minutes so I hope it helps but probably doesnt.

I cant test it now, because I got nervous and rolled back to the official (not beta), and all is well again.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
Did what? what is "this"?

FYI: Going back one menu item and re-entering the list would be enough. It rebuilds the menu on the spot, NOT from any possibly damaged cache. Even long pressing the home button will force a menu refresh and new items will display.

Google play store has had a long issue with locally storing and assigning incorrect app names to the app identifiers. Its a google thing. I try my best, but the recent changes they made means its even less likely to store the human friendly name locally (ie at all as opposed to risking rubbish). More now just the unique app codes locally and the full name remotely.

That actually helps. I now know it is somewhere in the detach! as opposed to possibly anywhere in the 000's of other menu items.(y)

If youtube is present/available it will be out of alphabetic order, and at the TOP of the menu.

Did you use the long press on the left most item of the flyout menu to filter the list?

I would really recommend the BETA version, as it has the updated detach functionality to cover the recent major google playstore changes. I would suggest the same to all. I am personally running the BETA version, If you ever see the strange menu issue, just press the home button and all should be well.

As for not having the time to test, thats more than OK, you have possibly helped more than you realise already, and we all have more important things in our lives than a little android app.
[Android Apps and Games] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Answering your question about menus getting messed up and information on reproducing it per your request
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
Found it!!! Well, them...

Favourites, select one, click NO on question, press back go's to blank menu

Two favourites menu (somewhere...)

Logs separators on favourites

Fav sep don't reject selection/click

Locks history records when not required. This one is bad 🤬
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
Moved from; another thread

Do not use the re attach unless you have to! To discuss, simply do the detach over a *broken" detach, and it will sort itself out.

If you have done what I think you have, you will need to reattach each. Go into the playstore, click update, then click cancel before it actually finishes installing
[Android Apps and Games] mugendon:
(quote is shorted, go to the link for the full info)

As suggested I tried it again with the beta, but it still has the same behavior. At first it looked good (installed apps were still fine after the third detach). But some time later (probably after a restart of my phone) my installed apps shrunk dramatically resulting in missing all the updates of the apps that are not listed.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
Not sire how I missed this one.

The detach stops apps from being upodated. In the latest google play updates, it does not stop showing apps as being avilable for an update, but ity still stops the update. ie what is suppose to do.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
There are three points in the post, so make sure you understand each of the three.

1. ARRRRRGGgghhhhh

SQLite Magisk Module

There is a single character BUG (typo, extra character). It can be easily fixed manually, or you could wait for the next release.

In the file /data/adb/modules/DiamondJohn _TeMeFI_SQLite/service.sh There is an extra ":" DOH!

Simply open the file in your fav text editor, and replace ":;" with ";", save and close, and that will fix it. You will need to do the above every time you run the method. I have fixed it in the source, and may do a hotfix; see point 3.

2. I've noticed the previous version is being downloaded more than the beta version. I personally am running the beta and would recommend others to do the same.

3. There is a new SQLite update.

New SQLite3 Binary v3.45.2 for ALL devices

I built the latest stable SQLite3 binary for ARM devices. I built it as I have an app that I requires it, and distribute it with my app TeMeFI , as a lot of people asked to not have to install it as a separate step. TeMeFI app does a LOOOOOT of...

xdaforums.com

see point 1.
[Android Apps and Games] mugendon:
Thanks for your reply (y)

I think I wasn't precise enough in my description of the concerning behavior, because you misunderstood my problem:

I am totally fine with the behavior of apps that I have detached. What I am worried about is the behavior of apps I have not detached: They are also not updated anymore.

Example:

I have installed 160 apps und detach 3 of them.

Result: The detached 3 apps are not updated anymore as expected, but 120 of my not detached apps are also not updated anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
I have seen this behaviour myself. And what I have noticed, it appears to be little random. As the play6store is a black box, I can only guess what is happening on the background. If you have any apps detached using method three, I *think* that the playstore tries to update for example youtube, I bring that process to a ...ummm... impolite end (ie abruptly crash the playstore process), and google made the decision to jump out of the loop on the first failure, instead of continuing to process the rest of the que of apps to be updated.

I ave also seen changes occur over time. Earlier, I could press the "Update All" button and things would get processed, Now I have to update one at a time. I cannot control what google does.

QAs for not understanding your issue, I speak english and your screen shots were not. English is also the language of the board.
[Android Apps and Games] mugendon:
Oh I didn't want to be rude when telling that you misunderstood the question. Instead I wanted to be as polite as possible. Probably failed because English is not my native language.

Based on your answer I have further pieces of information.

- I only used detach method one so far and never used method three.

- I have disabled automatic updates, so I can only update the apps that I see in the update list. The "Update All" button works fine for all the apps that are shown in the update list. The problem is that I can't update the 120 other apps anymore, because they are no longer visible in the update list.

Further explanation of the screenshots from here

They show the list of all installed apps which you can see in the play store by navigating to: "manage apps & device" -> "manage". If an installed app is not shown here, it also wont be shown under "manage apps & device" -> "overview" -> [Updates available] -> "show details" => "updates pending".
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
Method one should not stop updates of other apps.

I also do not believe that method 1 in itself would stop other apps from updating, but it has been a looooong time since I built it. Heck, maybe the changes that5 gioge have made have now made Method 1 enough; but I seriously doubt it very much.

I also was not "offended" by anything you said.
[Android Apps and Games] mugendon:
It does not stop them from updating, just from being shown in the updates pending dialog. If I navigate manually to an app that is not shown in the list I can still click update to update it.

In the end this is probably just too much play store voodoo to find the bug.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
and that's where Method 3 kicks in. If you manually try and press "Update" it will fail to update.
[Android Apps and Games] mugendon:
Again precision was lacking in my text. Here is the line with the important info:

It does not stop the undetached apps from updating, just from being shown in the updates pending dialog.
[Android Apps and Games] gokou46:
Hello new to using this app. I was having troubles with YouTube and auto updating. I used this program to detach YouTube. It worked but then the YouTube history stopped working. Turns out it was the version of YouTube. I was using. Well I got the right version of YouTube but I accidentally deleted the TeMeFI without reattaching YouTube to the play store. Now YouTube's history on my main phone won't work. But it works on my other phones. I tried downloading YouTube from the Play store and detached it and reattached it. With no luck getting YouTube's history working. Anyway I can fix this problem. Thanks in advanced.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
As far as I know Yo0uTube is normally detached to keep from loosing ReVanced. Are you using revanced or simply an older YouTube?

Nothing in the detach should affect histroiy. I am using vanced and it works for me. Maybe the version of youtube is not com[patible with history. That is something you need to investigate. Also, history is often broken by a hostfile or VPN.

Just download the latest TeMeFI (the beta in OP), there is no link between the app and the detachment. I even say somewhere that TeMeFI can be deleted.

Again, the version and ad blocking would be my avenue of investigation
[Android Apps and Games] gokou46:
I got revanced manager and patched it with the recommended version. My other phones had the same issue but once I got a newer YouTube. The history worked. Except my main phone. I also get (there was a problem signing into your account) on my main phone but I'm logged in. I can start fresh but rather not to.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
What can I say. The code does not touch history, MY YouTube history works, and no-one else has posted that TeMeFI stopped their history. I would conclude its something else on your device, not specifically related to TeMeFI detachments. You are going to need to work it out, Without your device in my hand, I cant help you. and even if it was, I still do not believe its related to TeMeFI.
[Android Apps and Games] gokou46:
I figure it wasn't since my two other phones worked after I updated YouTube. So I'm thinking it's something else. Thank you everyone for trying to help me.
[Android Apps and Games] gokou46:
Quick question. How can I reattach a app to the play store again. I detached a app but then when reattached it. It says doe it manually
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
I have NEVER said to "do it manually" once detached. You may be confusing when an app has notr been detached but google hasnt seen / attached it yet.

Its the menu item directly below the one to detach!!!
