[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] shagy38:
I couldn't agree more they totally rip you off
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] lennie:
Go all crazy? Haha for what? man I've already ranted, so to each his own, do what you feel is right. I on the other hand don't mind paying $3 for a service that I'm benefiting from, even if I have to buy it for each device. I'll most likely do it until a better app or service comes about such as something like adhell.

So only idiots pay for bottled water....interesting. Well I rather drink bottled water bottled at the spring source than to drink city tap water which has all sorts of chemicals, carcinogens, dioxins and fluoride which your brita filter doesn't remove. Tap and bottled both have their downsides but I rather the lesser of two weevils.

Anyway, again, to each his own.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] DeeXii:
Alternatively one could use "pm disable-user --user 0 <package_to_disable>" instead of "pm uninstall".

I highly suggest this since these packages are Samsung or Android packages that can be part of the framework of the firmware.

There are instances where an app has dependencies or parents and disabling it can lead to drain or memory leaks etc. Often it is not obvious right away. Sometimes a package that was able to be disabled on one android version becomes problematic on a new version etc.

Doing "pm disable" would be the equivalent of freezing an app with Titanium Backup as opposed to uninstalling it.

The obvious benefit would be they could turn the package back on.

Again, there could be a future situation where one uninstalls a package and realizes later the package affects another package and they need the package.

If you remove it with "uninstall" on a phone with a locked bootloader, you are pretty much out of luck when it comes to adding it back. You would have to then reflash/wipe to fix add the package back.

The effect is the same. I do personally like the uninstall option for carrier bloat that has been confirmed to not affect other packages etc. (i.e. T-Mobile app)

Thanks for this list by the way. Super Awesome! I appreciate it.

Also, on another personal note...

This is a highly debated topic...

But I personally feel kinda funny about Package Disabler.

The dev has clearly been kinda shady when it comes to the play store.

The app also requires admin access to your phone.

Why allow an app get that kind of access when you can do it via ADB with 100% piece of mind?

It's a longer process but most apps you disable and then are done with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] pete4k:
BTW some of the packages listed above can be uninstalled, or disabled from settings/apps, no need for separate program and IMO biggest shame is on Google and Samsung, that we actually need such application to remove stuff we don't want from our own phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Nickitt:
Great app, thank you. Did some research and purchased the pro. Disable apps on the fly without hooking up to a PC.

Sorry forgot to mention -

I have disabled the mentioned app using CCSWE App Manager - Haven't uninstalled it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] dwertz:
Yeah, I am done with them. I had already bought 4 versions of the play store app, then was told the one on their direct site would be forever since Google Play store cant pull it. That version no longer works. I went with CCSWE. I am done with Package Disabler
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] lennie:
Well ain't that interesting. Because you live in an area with good water makes others idiots? Smh.

Well that's great for you that you live in such an area.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] lennie:
Just sent an email to the guys at CCSWE seeing if they're interested in releasing a version of their app not tied down by the Google store policies which we'd be able to disable all Google services and apps including Samsung's too.

I'm encouraging everyone to send them an email also.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Troy1288:
This is what happened to me except I bought the app directly from them. Then the app was disabled after a firmware update and they wanted me to pay again. I asked for a license and they never responded to my ten emails.

Yup buy it on play store now and get refund from google for it and leave it installed!

I use Package Disabler Pro+ for Samsung and have had no problems at all.. I've had 3 or 4 updates in the past week or so.. I use it to take care of Bixby and some Google apps and other apps I dont use..

I agree that ccswe has some very useful features, even better with the last update, the multiple widgets is really good, but, package disabler has an advantage, you can disable certain things that ccswe can not, I use both, they complement each other very nicely

What problems did you encounter with package disabler pro? Maybe I have not noticed something
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] megatooth:
I bought the app six times and i have to buy it an the seventh time..., and so on! No thx.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] winol:
well, then it is not the app itself not doing its job right, I just bought this app for the first time to use it in this device, I supose that, in 1 or 2 year when I switch for a new device, maybe I would need to buy it again, should I require it, let's see...

Tell me in one month. I feel confident with that month.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] winol:
Somewhere I read that the issue arose when the app was pulled from playstore or when it was updated, since I installed it there has been 2 or 3 updates, I have been using it for 6 weeks more or less, but, I will see what happens...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] dave678:
It's Samsung requesting Google to boot them off the Play Store

.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] raul6:
I'm beginning to think they (dev) themselves remove it as it basically stops working once Samsung blocs the keys. So, I think, dev is misusing the number of keys it can activate and once that is detected then the activation server simply blocks the key(s). Then dev reissues the app with a new key and ask for a new payment and process recommences.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] dave678:
Lol what would they gain from doing that? That makes no sense at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] raul6:
Well, the app can't activate, and it periodically has to check with Samsung Knox server, if the licence key is blocked. The key is blocked eventually as it is only valid for certain number of activations. App stops working because of license fail not because it is taken down. Nobody else to blame but the unscrupulous dev.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] dave678:
Lol no Samsung asks it to be taken down. How come other apps by that same developer don't get taken down then? It does stuff that CCSWE can't do.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] NewbiHD:
Scammers

Based on some of the responses.. I can assume that Package Disabler Pro developers has been responding to some comments made here.

Package Disabler Pro is a piece of JUNK. The developers are SCAMMERS... I'm sure they work at the same Call Center as those IRS caller and Social Security Callers... Same game plan. If you had purchased Package Disabler Pro recently, I would STRONGLY recommend that you request a refund. All the comments about how they scam people are TRUE!

If your money grows on trees then by all mean, buy the dam app, be prepare to buy it again and again and again and many more times. Otherwise stay away! They will out scam the Energizer bunny by miles. They will continues scamming user way after the Energizer bunny stop working.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] lennie:
Interesting comment. Way to go assuming the conspiraacyy.

Well my money doesn't grow on trees but $3 isn't going to kill me...I mean if that amount of money will make you broke then I believe you have serious problems you should be thinking about other than this.

Seriously, is $3 per device going to kill you? You see, call center and social security scammers will ruin your life, is $3 really going to ruin yours?

Again, I have no problems in spending on the things that I use and that I benefit from.

It makes me wonder how you're not ok with package disabler pro's developers but yet you're OK with Samsung and their false advertising their battery capacity.

Very nice! A TRIBUTE TO JOSE ...., character in the movie "HARD CASH" ! :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] NewbiHD:
Point proven, scammers lacks the same common aspect in LIFE! basic fundamental. Something that you will NEVER understand during your life time. Please continue justifying reason why it's okay for app developer to continues to scammer users.

**since you took it personally - could you be part of the team? Is my feedback impacting your income? I bought this useless pieces of JUNK so my feedback is most welcome. A good developer will accept any feedback and improve from it and not making excuses why it's okay to scam others.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] dave678:
You have no clue how or why they get booted
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] NewbiHD:
Please do share the official reason why they were booted from Google Play store.

Don't go based off of what you "think" because many users didn't just "think" they got scammed, they know for a fact that they got scammed. What you "think" is irrelevant.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] winol:
If, I have to pay for every time I install the app in a new device, for me, it is somewhat reasonable, $3.00 is not much, considering I paid more than

$ 1,000.00 for the device, and, package disabler does things cvswe can not, that for me is very valuable, I have seen this complains since I used BK disabler pro, which many users reported the same about having to re-buy the app, the fact is, it is still running in my note7 and note8, I could not install it on my 10+, that is why I had to buy ccswe and package disabler pro, BK disabler was by far, superior to these two others
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] sansnil:
Not trying to troll you here but what does package disabler do that CCWE does not? This is for my own education.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] dave678:
They pretty much think they got scammed because have no clue as to some things this app can do compared to CCSWE and that leads to Samsung asking for Google to remove them from the Play Store.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] winol:
Until its most recent update, ccswe lacked the very useful widget feature, package disabler pro can disable system and google stuff that ccswe does not even show in the apps list, these two reasons made me buy package disabler pro after I bought ccswe, I bought ccswe due to the bad comments I found here, but when I found that there were things ccswe could not disable I decided to try package disabler pro, and, so far, so good
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] NewbiHD:
It has nothing to do with CCSWE. If this app is not in compliance with Google's policy or Samsung's policy then it needs to be fixed before re-upload again. Yet, this is not the case, the Developer continues to re-upload app that does not meets Google's policy or Samsung's policy. I believe honest mistake happens but in this case the Developer has a pattern of violating either Google's policy or Samsung's policy AND continues to re-upload many times over the last 2 YEARS. This is done with malicious intent. I rest my case.

Bottom line, DO NOT BUY Package Disabler Pro (Samsung). The app works like it suppose to but be prepare to pay for this apps many more times.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] raul6:
Even when removed from store the app should work as it does when purchased directly from dev's website. And then because Knox license keys are revoked, possibly because of license violation, the app stops working irrespective of where it is bought.

It is a useful myth perpetuated by dev to shift the blame on Samsung or Google and for punters to believe that purchasing again and again is helping fighting against those big guys. The app is simple and can work for as long as the device on which it is installed lasts. It can survive factory resets (as in reinstall it), and firmware updates. The reason that it doesn't is because of dev's misuse of license keys. You shouldn't have to keep repurchasing it ever for the same device, let alone every 6 to 7 months. And if you do need to then specify it in description and let people decide is it worth the expense.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] raul6:
It does not block, for a reason, the apps listed on the image attached.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] winol:
It can not block more stuff than those listed, like playstore and galaxy store, which are running all the time if not blocked
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] raul6:
it lists both of those apps as being on blacklist
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] sansnil:
I suspect I'll keep using both together because they seem to co-exist well. I understand CCWE is coming out with Tasker support which will be super useful for me at least.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] NewbiHD:
One more thing for those thinking about buying this app or already bought this app. Before you buy this app again, think about the following...

For over 2 years, the Developer has been violating Google's policy, this is why the app continually being taken down by Google, correct? If so why isn't the app Developers account being ban for continually violating policy? OR is it that the app Developer purposely removes the app from Google Play Store knowingly he'll release a new version. This has been going on for over 2 years.

Now you decided to see if it's worth buying this app knowing it's a guarantee the app will be remove before a new version gets release.

Morning everybody (or good day/afternoon/night).

Discussion is getting a bit heated in here, so I had to do some cleaning... It doesn't matter if you're a fanboy or think that the company are scammers, keep the discussion civilised and avoid calling other members stupid or worse.

Even a heated discussion of widely separated opinions can be kept respectful and free of name-calling. Keep it that way.

Thanks for the attention.

Cheers

But I can't see Themes there to disable .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] JLneonhug:
I'm getting conflicting messages on here...

Since it uses some type of knox licence (from reading comments on forums here). It's assumed that it can be disabled by Samsung from servers.

This has nothing to do with if you download off playstore or website..?

Ergo if the app stops working you need to redownload/rebuy it anyway..?

As of recently ccwse and bk package disabler seems to stop working also with no date for fix.

The original simple question I was looking to answer was is this a safe app to use for data collection and security purposes, Im still none the wiser but at least I see few alternatives (which seems to not work at the moment)...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] winol:
One thing I can tell is, I am running on android 10, April update, And, both, ccswe and package disabler pro work fine, so, in my experience, the troubles some users complain about, arose when updating the firmware to May and June, I did not update, I have no issues, in fact, I have all the update related stuff blocked to avoid exactly these kind of troubles, be it, bugs in apps, graphics, files, comms, connectivity, etc

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] winol:
Package disabler pro(samsung) asks only for ONE permission, storage
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] the818studios:
So, I just lost it again...

Dev suggested: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ccswe.appmanager.deviceowner

But this app requires you remove ALL Google Accounts, then use USB Debugging to run the command line:

adb shell dpm set-device-owner com.ccswe.appmanager.deviceowner/com.ccswe.appmanager.receivers.DeviceAdminReceiver

... Thoughts on safety of this??

I'm about fed up. I'm on round 3 of purchases for the SOLE purpose of disabling samsung's default NFC app so I can use another.

Using Package Disabler Pro, I tried to disable Pluto TV (tv.pluto.android) on my 10+5G and I got a message stating "Some critical app can not be disable". Poorly written, I know but aside from that, can anyone tell me why Pluto TV is deemed to be a "critical" app for the phone?
