Anyone plz let me know what to disable for security updates and things of that nature. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] black96ss:
Package disabler pro works for me on my note 10. It's not available in the play store and hasnt been for some time. I purchased it directly from the dev site. Believe its 3.00 usd. Just installed it today and it works perfectly, even after the new software update
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] nosympathy:
Devs behind Package Disabler Pro are scam artists. The apps work, but they are always deleting them then releasing a new version a few weeks later. Usually after a new phone comes out.

They've probably done this 5-6 times since I got the my first app from them. I asked them about giving me a license since I already paid, and they basically told me it's Samsung's fault it gets removed and I have to pay again to make up for the trouble.

Ha! No thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] lennie:
Wait, so you need a PC in order to disable or enable an app through adb but yet you can't picture a use case for apps like package disabler pro?

What about apps you don't use often? Isn't it better to disable them until you need to use them so android don't have them running in the background for no reason?

So what if you're using a different launcher than the stock launcher wouldn't it make sense to disable stock launcher until you need it?

I can go on but the best part is that you don't need a PC to do it.

I don't think you even need package disabler for that, you can just go into developer options and disable auto update from there. Or in package disabler in system apps you should see one that is called "update" or something like that.

That's good to hear I bought it from the play store, not sure why I didn't just buy it from their website since Google or Samsung can't block that one.

Actually it's Samsung that requests that Google block the app in the playstore. They plainly tell you to buy it from their website because that way Samsung or Google can't block it. So instead of paying 5-6 times why didn't just buy it from their website once?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Goronok:
No need to get defensive. It is better to disable so android isn't running them in the background, I just can't think of an app I'd ever need to enable/disable on the fly. Certainly not the stock launcher, that can stay permanently disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] nosympathy:
I guess you can't read...I only paid for it once, I said they've re-added it 5-6 times since I purchased it. I asked them for a license since I already paid for it once and they told me I had to rebuy it because of the trouble Samsung causes them.

If you read reviews about them, they are notorious for doing what I said. Not once did they ever tell me I could get the app directly from them by the way, it's always been to rebuy it from the app store. They don't list a website on the play store and the email address is where they told me to keep rebuying it in the play store

Not to mention, they always name it the same thing. I can't for a minute believe that google keeps allowing them to re-upload the app with the same name over and over again if Samsung is getting it removed. lol.

yes, let us just keep covering for shady companies who find a way to force additional sales of their product through "forced" rebuys.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] AceDaMack:
Thanks that what I did. just to be safe I wanna disable the packages
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] lennie:
Not defensive/aggressive in the slightest. It's just that I use it all the time and I disable pretty much every app I'm not currently using as in every app gets disabled until I need it, with a few exceptions. Android/Google/Samsung services are not killing my battery in the background. But to each his own.

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 PM ----------

Well apparently I can't read. But the first time Samsung disable their app and I contacted them they directed me to their website where I could get a proper version that won't get disabled.

Well who knows maybe they are crooks like you've said. But then it begs the question, how come the version on their website doesn't get disabled like the one on the play store?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] nosympathy:
So you are saying they also made you pay twice? I still wouldn't be happy with that. I paid for the license, it's not my fault Samsung got their app removed. I'd have to dig, but I have the emails where they told me I had to pay again because of Samsung causing them trouble. They could easily issue a code to let me claim the license I already paid for.

I don't think they really want website sales, but will take them as a last ditch effort. Can't claim Samsung made you delete it off your own website.

If they wanted the sales on their website, then they would have their website listed on google play. Then someone like me who searches for the app like today, where it doesn't exist again, could look at one of their other apps and find my way to buy it.

For what it's worth, they do the same thing with the LG version of the app. They delete it at least once a year then release it again. Not sure what excuse they use on that one.

Edit: I will give them one last chance, I sent them an email again to see if they would make good. See if things have changed.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Samzebian:
This is definitely true. I have been re-buying this app almost every time I get a new samsung phone (been upgrading every 6 months to S and Note series since the Note 5/7/S7 Edge, so that is at least 10 different devices. I am pretty sure I have re-bought it every time! However I have always used google opinion rewards money so it was basically free for me, now that they only sell the working version on their site I am done with them.

If Package Disabler is booted off the PlayStore because it's "contravening" Samsung's Knox T&Cs then what are the chances that "CCSWE App Manager" will also suffer the same fate imminently?

well for one they blacklist some apks from being disabled that might cause device issues or go against t&cs.. other than that its built using samsungs own sdk and licensing.. its built well imo... like all great things tho u never know lol

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] nosympathy:
That's assuming what the Package Disabler guys say is even true. Anyone seen any legit proof from them they have been booted because of Samsung? Or is that just the story they tell everyone.

Since that means LG would be doing he exact same thing.

Anyone know what packages to disable to stop security updates and their notifications
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] athenodorus:
What's the point of getting the non root version?

We could already disable system apps by default without it. Please enlighten me?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Samzebian:
I am not sure of a way to do this, but I am wondering why you would ever not want to update the security of your phone? I can understand if you were waiting for some sort of exploit to allow for root, but most people don't care for that these days. If it's only because it is annoying, that's akin to skipping vaccinations because the shots hurt... You'll be asking for trouble since these updates patch so many vulnerabilities on a monthly basis.

I bought directly from their website too, the license gives you 6 reuse as in if you reset your phone and have to re-apply the key then you've used 1 of the 6 each time as it counts as a new device.

If you don't want to give them your card number then easy set up a paypal account.

Its there. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pdp.deviceowner
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] lennie:
well Adhell rings a bell so i do believe them that Samsung request them removed from the store.

you want to go in Biometrics and Security > Other Security Settings > Security Policy and Updates > in there you simply un-select Auto Update.

this will stop your phone from automatically checking for system updates.

you might also want to enable developer options > unselect "auto update system"

if you really want to disable them in package disabler you can do so (not sure why you'd want to do that but you can if you want).

the packages should be:

SystemUpdate (com.sec.android.systemupate)

Software Udate (com.sec.android.soagent)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] DakiX:
Ok but its the same. I buy few years ago the og pd but the devs delete the app and take another on the store (buy again sh..) and after that its gone. Via adb is struggle.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] teegunn:
It is mega-BS that Package disabler pro keeps getting taken off and you have to rebuy for every new sammy phone you get. So for me, that would be once a year I get a new Note. I mean, the I have PDP on my Note 7, Note 8 and Note 9.... but they are all different versions I had to buy for each device. So I expect I will have to do the same once my N10+ gets here (grr VZ for delaying my preorders by TWO weeks!). If this CCSWSE or whatever it is works as well, I may just buy that and use it. Don't really care who makes the app as long as it works. I know PDP works though, so maybe I will buy it directly from their website for my N10+. Will be reading the boards to see what the consensus is on this issue while I wait impatiently for my N10+ to get here.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] winol:
I have not used this app, but I used BK disabler paid, I liked it a lot because you could disable services within an app, not necessarily the whole app, I found this very useful, as you could deprive some apps from doing unnecessary things like listeners, and feedbackers among other things
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] thepersona:
I have the non pro version of ccswe installed on my phone. however I have absolutely no knowledge on how to disable apps and in this case I would like to disable some pre bloat like Facebook and stuff.

Is CCswe foolproof? is it a simple as running through the process of setting up the application and just clicking the name of an app to uninstall it and remove it or is there more to it than just that?

If there is anyone who is used CC swe app who can provide me some instructions and guidance via PM I really would appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] pete4k:
First of all as far as I know the apps are not removed, they're disabled so they won't run, the same way you can disable them in settings/apps. Click on the app you want, click on 3 line menu top right corner, click disable or enable if it was disabled before and you want it back. The only difference is that ccswe can disable apps that you can't in settings. Tricky part is to figure what to disable: for example I don't use Facebook so that's first thing I disable, but doing so can break other programs I think it was VR on my N9 if remember correctly. Make sure you don't disable something the phone doesn't boot anymore. Have fun.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Compusmurf:
Ccswe allows you to disable what Samsung allows. They block certain things. That is how he is able to keep it in the store.

PD purchased from the website allows a more things that Samsung says no to. Hence why they get booted from the store all the time.

Ccswe allows you to also disable services, activities and receivers inside a particular app. PD does not.

One thing to note, seems if you disable app thru one, you can't re-enable with the other. You have to keep track.

I have them both for these 2 reasons.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] thepersona:
Hey man thanks for the input and I appreciate the advice. The first thing I did was disable all of the apps that I didn't need as well as typical bloatware. Outside of that I was hoping this app would allow me to just remove them rather than just disable them but it's all good. I'll stick with those apps being disabled for now until there's an easier solution on how to permanently remove them. Thanks for your patience and help. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] pete4k:
You are welcome. I think there are ways to remove apps altogether with ADB (and other programs, maybe disabler pro don't remember now), but your phone has 256GB plus SD card if you desire, so it won't make much difference and often enough may need those apps back and once you delete especially system apps, not easy to get it back without reinstalling OS. I'm sticking with disable only, even if there is option to remove.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
the only way to actually remove the apps are by root.. they are stored on system and orher partitions which you would need root to mount as rw
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Nastrahl:
I hesitate of buying CCSWE since it can disable services and receivers, but what I don't know is I'd they also uses Samsung's Knox (for the non root Samsung version), for fear to be booted out the play store as well?

If not, is it possible to disable services and receivers by other means (ADB?) since they are not using Knox?

I don't want to buy apps if I can do the same with ADB since I will run it maybe just once (if not I don't mind doing it on my PC from time to time).

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Compusmurf:
No. In fact that might be a very bad idea. You need to be very, very selective and careful mucking with internals of apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Zappapp:
I guess, it would be really difficult to ascertain the affects of disabling services, activities and receivers & so, it would be better to keep all services, activities and receivers enabled inside a particular disabled app ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Compusmurf:
If you disable the whole app, those items would be disabled by default as well.

Where disabling a particular receiver might help is if you have a rogue app that starts every time network changes or starts automatically at boot, you could experiment with disabling those receivers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Nastrahl:
Usually disabling all "ads", "tracking", "analysis" and "appmeasurement" services and receivers won't do any harm for apps you don't want to disable completely.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] oneandroidnut:
They told me their app license through their website is only good for one device. Have to repurchase every time which I think is BS and website states nothing about that. This isn't probably the best way to get them back but it is how I get them back..... Download it from play store (assuming it is on there still), install like normal make a device admin and then go back to play store and hit refund. Refund will go through but app will not uninstall until you deactivate admin for app. So keep admin and close out play store and boom you still have it and your refund! This will probably get flagged but I don't like this company to begin with!

Finally decided to try ccswe, and it works fine, but, I can not disable playstore, just to stop it from running all the time, can package disabler pro disable it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] raul6:
Yes, PD should be able to disable it. If for some reason it doesn't refund it and use adb instead. CCSWE, mainly for licensing issues, hides few packages and playstore is one of those.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] lennie:
Yeah package disable allows you to disable the play store. I usually keep it disabled until I want to install an or check for updates. Same thing with Samsung experience and the galaxy store.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] lennie:
Get back at them? But what kind of nonsense.... Bro, the app is just $3 you piss that away from a bottle of water.

If the app violates Samsung's terms (which it does) they will request that it be removed from the play store which Google will comply.

If the app violates Google's terms (which it does) they will remove it.

Being able to disable any Play services such as the play store or most importantly, Google Play Services, violates Google's policy, therefore Google removed it from their store every time. The company is not on a nefarious campaign to steal your 3 dollars.

I bought the app from their website which they sent me an installable .apk and a key good for 6 uses. That is fine by me and totally reasonable.

Clearly the company and their app are providing a service that you need, so why not pay them for their service that you're using? If you feel the company is sheisty then why use their product at all?

It's not like it's a large corporation, it's a small company with workers who has to feed their family. So why not support the company?

It deals with Samsung accounts and cloud backup etc. You'll need it running if you're going to use any Samsung apps that deals with Samsung accounts, like that galaxy store, shop Samsung etc or if you want to back up your data to Samsung cloud. It's to Samsung apps what Google play services is to Google apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] oneandroidnut:
Before you get all crazy I had purchased it and got the app through their site for the S10+ and I sent them an email before I did this and asked if I could get a new code or know why the app and the code would not work on my Note 10 as I no longer had the S10+ I initially purchased the app for. They replied it is only good for one device once. I asked where it stated that on the site or anywhere and never got a reply back so let me be clear.... SCREW THEM

If the key was good for 6 uses that is about 3 years of Samsung phones for me and I would have been cool with that but that is not what they told me and their site states nothing so I am SOL.
