download old version of apk, install it and then delete with adb

Old version could be without vivo.uninstall.compatibility.not_adbUninstall in manifest or something like this

Hey,

how can I change a non system app in a system app? I want to use this program, no root! Is it only possible in pro version? Thank you!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OpenSource Ghost:
Is there a reason this app uses outdated ADB (Android Platform Tools files)? Was there something in older versions of ADB that made it better (more aggressive) at being able to remove system apps?

I tried replacing included ADB files with newer ones, but that prevented ADB AppControl from working.

This is Verizon Digital Safe or Digital Secure. This comes from Verizon, via sim card, I think. This comes with some of Verizon data plans. Just log on to VZW and turn it off. May have to hunt down the option to disable.

Uninstalling via ADB used to work for the app and now doesn't work strangely.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zasd94:
Hello, after reading the documentation on the official website and facing some problems with my Realme GT Neo 2 (purchased in Spain, Europe) I have some questions that I hope someone can answer (warning: long post):

In the documentation it says "when "uninstalling" system applications, they are actually removed only from the list of installed in the system and cease to function (as if disabled), but physically remain on the device. Their complete removal without root access is impossible.". So, ignoring ADB's restore option, with a factory reset everything I uninstalled and disabled should be restored, correct?

The thing is that I did a light debloat with this software when my mobile was on Android 11 and Realme UI 2.0. Then I got the Android 12 + UI 3.0 update and everything seemed to work fine except for features like "background streaming" which I'm afraid we Europeans don't have available. I did a factory reset to have a clean installation and since then I have several problems, especially with the battery app and notifications.

Using ADB after factory reset I discovered that some system apps that I removed in Realme UI 2.0 have disappeared in 3.0: "com.heytap.openid" "com.nearme.statistics.rom" "com.oplus.obrain" and "com. coloros.healthservice". According to what I have read in the documentation, those apps were never deleted from my phone. Does that mean that the factory reset removed them because the "RMX3370_11_C.02" update no longer includes them?

In the end I did more factory resets because with the first one the battery app did not update the correct percentage. With the second one I couldn't install apps from unknown sources and now some notifications arrive at my phone but they ring two minutes later or they don't arrive at all (apps like whatsapp and telegram are allowed to run in the background).

I haven't unlocked the bootloader or made any other modifications beyond enabling developer options and using ADB to remove facebook/meta services among other apps from an apparently safe list. I don't know if I've used ADB wrong or if it's just Realme and its 3.0 UI bugs (or even a conflict with another app, like Pikmin Bloom). I still have a folder with a backup of all the apps that I deleted but the program does not recognize them to be able to restore them. Its extension is .apk, could I install them manually or is there a better way? Or maybe it's better not to install them? Because almost everything I deleted reappeared, maybe I don't need them anymore?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:
Yes, all uninstalled system applications will be restores after factory reset.

You can to restore the uninstalled system applications from the Uninstalled list of ADB AppControl.

Really thanks for reading documentation, I put many efforts to make it understandable ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zasd94:
Thanks for replying. I still have the first folder with the deleted apps that the program generated for me as a backup (27 apps in total, some are from realme/oppo/coloros and other services like facebook). Unfortunately, after the factory reset the program doesn't recognize all the apps that I deleted the first time (27) in the "Uninstalled list", only those that I have deleted after the last reset, as of today 7 apps (the folder I am talking about is the one in user\AppData \Roaming\ADBAppControl).

Another thing, and this is complicated because each phone is different, but according to your experience: if after several factory resets my phone fails to show notifications without any delay, is it possible that with your program I have done something wrong or rather that Realme UI doesn't work well? Does your program leave any trace that prevents me from using my warranty to go to the technical service (even if I do a factory reset again)?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:
You should have no problem with the warranty after using ADB AppControl. But if you in doubt, better do a factory reset before.

I guess you installed the program in C:\Program Files, only in this case it creates a folder in AppData. You may to uninstall the program and install it elsewhere, such as on the D drive. After that, copy your apk files to the Install folder in the program directory and yours apk will be available in ADB AppControl.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zasd94:
Yes, that's my situation. I noticed the empty 'Install' folder along with 'adb' and 'downloads', where the saved apks were located automatically. I tried to copy the 'realme RMX3370' folder from 'downloads' to 'install' and even leave empty all the folders but the program only show me the same 7 uninstalled apps. Oh, and there are other groups of the same folders in the C:\Program Files path, although all of them are empty (except adb).

I'll think about installing ADB on the D drive but I'm still wondering if I need those apps because, technically, with every reset I restore everything (except "com.heytap.openid" "com.nearme.statistics.rom" "com.oplus.obrain" and "com.coloros.healthservice").

Thanks again, I'll try to rest before my brain explodes because this is draining my sanity. Worst case scenario I'll try to call to Realme Spain service, maybe I all have to do is to wait for an update (I wish).

I am trying to use adb app control for the first time. Want to connect using wireless debugging. Device is running on android 12

Tried following:

1) Console

adb pair <ip>:<port>

But there is no option to enter the pairing code in the adb app control app console

2) Wireless connection option. Entered the right IP and port and tried connecting but it fails every time as again there is no prompt asking for the pairing code

Any idea where I am going wrong. On same PC I am able to connect from adb command prompt using same method

Hi CyberCat,

First off, thanks for an awesome little app. I sent you some support funds a while ago. Unfortunately when I start the app I get a dialog saying "Could not connect to update server". And then when I enter the activation code I get another dialog saying "Could not connect to the server." Is this problem on my end or yours? If it’s my problem, would you tell me what I need to do to activate it? I look forward to getting access to the full Extended version. Thanks again, looking forward to hearing from you. Take care.

🎈 The second anniversary of the ADB AppControl project 🎈​

Hey, guys!

The first release of the program was in May 2020, and this last 2 years was difficult for many of us. But, I hope, the ADB AppControl made our lives easier and more interesting. It's my approach to make complicated simple. And I will stick with it going forward. I'm continue my work and I really interested in a multi-platform and mobile version of the ADB AppControl. It's too early to tell, but work is already in progress.

A little anniversary event:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Spookymyo:
If the phone isn't rooted doesn't this just delete the app from user 0 only? The app is still on the phone just not available. When I go into a root explorer the base app is still present.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:
You are absolutely right! It's impossible to completely uninstall system apps without root in any way. But adb uninstalling works good and really safe - you never hard brick your device and always have opportunity to restore it.

Everything this app does, you can do yourself at no charge. It is time consuming to search for this application on your smartphone that you want to deactivate.

I paid for an extended key because my own time is priceless and I support such a well-made app as ADB AppControl.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] androalv724ot:
In update 1.7 you will find a lot of important fixes, improvements and new features. Now you can see the RAM usage indicator and the Tools tab where you can find more information about your device, change the screen resolution, hide unnecessary icons in the status bar, etc. I tried to make the tools as clear and accessible as possible.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DC73:
This software was just brought to my attention. Getting ready to set up a new S22+. Was not looking forward to all the command line work to remove bloatware. But, now looking forward to using ADB AppControl.

Question: I see I can download an installer or the zip file. Which is the more preferred method for installation?

Thanks much,

DC
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DC73:
Another question: Is there any other way to make a donation and get the Extended Version without having to use Paddle.com? I googled them and numerous red flags popped up. There are a lot of people that have experienced fraudulent charges on their PayPal account and their credit cards. Some people were signed up for subscription services they didn't authorize. The Better Business Bureau in New York rates them an "F". Makes me nervous.

Has anyone had issues with Paddle.com after paying for the Extended Version?

Thanks,

DC
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:
Good question. Depends on how you prefer to install and control applications on your PC. The installer will create links on your desktop and Start-menu. Also you can uninstall the program from the Start menu or from the Windows settings like any of the many other programs. Otherwise, you just unpack a program from the zip-archive and use it.

When I asked users which of the both methods they preferred, they were about 50/50. Personally, I prefer the archive.

I have only seen good reviews of Paddle and I have no problem with them. Are you sure these posts weren't left by their competitors? Please give me links to the bad reviews in a private message. Thank you.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DC73:

I'm not sure if I overlooked it..

Mirroring to PC sometimes presents a black screen even though the display, mouse control, navigation, etc. still works on the phone. Only the mirrored display via Scrcpy is black.

This happens mostly in financial apps (banking, investing, crypto). Anyway to resolve this or is this a security feature of apps that cant be bypassed?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DC73:
Awesome piece of software! It took longer to pay for the extended version and a cup of coffee than it did to debloat two phones. Well worth the price of admission. Good job Cyber.Cat!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] VZ9lG0V#@Narilku:
Bought this brilliant software without even trying (coz heard a lot of).

It's just amazing. Especially for people like me, whose doesn't familiar with adb cmd shell and all nuances.

Damn, services provided by 3rd party to remove(but usually disable) preinstalled Chinese Demons Creations $..t cost atleast x5_x7 minimum per visit.

And then it all can reverse back after suddenly or committed reset.

Anyway main thing not money, but COMFORTABLE and totally user-friendly and understandable easy usage. And a lot of features. Iam very impressed.

Just big thanks for your work.

(btw this one software is a great idea for small digital gift for any androidphone user, instead game cards etc, for example)

This tool is great. I was so sick of doing things manually. Was able to find more bloat on my Tab S7+ I missed.

Having a problem with my S22 Ultra though (edit: doing the same thing with the S7+ now too). The program says the model of the phone in the upper left corner, but it just stays on Loading forever. The 55 second warnings eventually pop up. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, the apk, and clearing adb devices in dev options. Could this be driver related on my PC? Maybe try a universal one? Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:
No problems with driver you have. Be sure the ACBridge application is installed, enabled and has storage access permission on your phone. Also try to connect your device via usb cable with enabled (unlocked) screen.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RockwellB1:
I'm not sure what's going on with it on my desktop, things just hang on "Loading". Decided to give it a try on my laptop and things work fine. I tried uninstalling on my desktop and then reinstalling, but settings and everything were preserved so I guess it doesn't fully uninstall. At least I got it working on one of my computers.

🚀 Update 1.7.6

Added checking for scrcpy (screen mirroring app) updates that many have asked for, as well as a scrcpy delete button. Now it's very simple - if you want to install another version of scrcpy - uninstall the old one and install the new one. Also a few serious bugs were found and fixed (special thanks to those who helped finding them).

Changelog:

1.7.7

Broken autopermissions fixed

Last scrcpy arguments are now remembered

Other minor fixes

1.7.6

Adb and Fastboot updated to 33.0.2 version

Added buttons to check for updates and remove Scrcpy

Fixed apks files saving

Fixed an error when device connected

Network optimization

Other minor fixes

I made some changes to the network part of the program, and fix some connection problems. If you have an Extended version, the activation can reset after the update. In this case, just activate the program again with your key.

Try updating the Samsung USB device driver on your desktop. I was having weird issues with Docs To Go and my Samsung S22+. Went to Samsung's website, looked up my model number and a new USB device driver was available for it. Installed the new driver and my problems went away. I installed Cyber.Cat's software after that and have not had any issues.

Good luck,

While trying to uninstall Google Play Services update and go back to factory version, I've realized that using the uninstall feature will NOT downgrade the GMS version, it will uninstall while keeping the latest version backed up.

I had to use the console and issue adb uninstall com.google.android.gms.

Is there any way to uninstall system app updates using the GUI?

It looks like system apps that are uninstalled, even using the delete cache/settings toggle, preserve the apk updates, which is not what I want.
