Incredible app. Kudos to the developers. Curious is there a way to assign an app as the system default?

I removed YouTube and run SmarTubeNext to play YouTube videos instead, but if I simply click on a video instead of through the SmartTubeNext app it will ask me to install YouTube.

I have a suggestion @Cyber.Cat

Not sure if this function is incorporated into this Fantastic app ? (I do not see it in settings?) But would it be possible to incorporate a Screen rotation function? something similar to what set orientation does, into both of your PC and ATV apps.

This function would be Amazing! if possible? Thank you for your feedback and support.

One more thing Please, Do you ever plan to add NVidia Shield TV support to your debloating profiles? Thanks.

Has the ability do disable Work Profile apps ever been added? Utilizing Island/Insular and would like to use ADB AppControl to disable unnecessary system apps associated with the profile.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:
First of all, thanks for your amazing feedback and support, guys!

Sorry for the annoying Christmas icon, it was a bug.

I tried to release update 1.8.3.1 with hotfix, but Windows Defender had false positive on my installer and it became red on Virustotal. I had to roll back this update. But there is good news - I solved a problem, so the next update will be OK.

Spoiler content hidden.

Another great news (those who are subscribed to my Telegram already know) - right now I'm working on the mobile version of ADB AppControl 📱 and I've made serious progress. It will be a cool app with lots of features that you can install on your Android smartphone or tablet.

A few words about problems.

On new firmware of Oppo/Vivo/Realme/OnePlus devices it become impossible to disable some system apps even with service call package tweak. This is a manufacturer decision and I have not found a solution yet.

On the new HyperOS firmware for Xiaomi devices, the manufacturer blocked the ability to disable the apps completely. But uninstalling continues to work.

Also, you can face with the problem of installing old apps on the newest devices.

And although the ADB AppControl has a fix for the old SDK restrictions, some apps cannot be installed because they are not supported by the newest CPU like Snapdragon 8 gen 3, Dimensity 8300, etc. It happens because the old apps don't contains new ABI instructions. So, all developers are forced to update their apps. I'm not sure if this is a necessity or another conspiracy between hardware and software corps.

So far, that's it. I will be glad to all your suggestions.

Update 1.8.4 coming soon 😉

I've noticed some cosmetic bugs on Windows when using a high DPI. It seems that the tooltips display in the wrong location. It also seems it doesn't quite scale big enough in general.

Both problems can be worked around by using the Compatibility tab in the shortcut settings. Right click on app shortcut, then Properties > Compatibility > Change High DPI Settings > Override High DPI Scaling behavior Scaling provided by > System (Enhanced)

However, this makes the tooltip balloons look aliased and ugly. Ideally the app would handle scaling on its own on high DPI displays.

There are a few components for Facebook that you need to remove. Basically, remove any app with Facebook in the file name. Usually there are 3 or 4. Major updates can reinstall apps. Just remove them again.

Funtouch OS is provided by BBK (Oppo, Vivo, etc) group. This manufacturer completely prevented some its apps from uninstalling in latest ROMs (Android 14). Idk the way to uninstall them for now (but buying the device from other brand may help :))

Yeah guys, let me describe the situation. I know that many of us switching to Linux last years (thanks, MS! Your Windows 11 is awesome). I'm also have it as a second OS. Since 2021 I developed some Linux app prototypes (pre-pre-pre alphas).

Hello

Sorry to bother, but how do you completely remove ADB appcontrol data from the computer?

I went appdata\roaming and deleted the adb appcontrol folder and the .android in C:\Users\

and still cant get it to a state where is completely reset. I know it is not completely reset because it doesn't give me the warning the first time you open it

I want to do this because, i cant get the app to work anymore. It always gives me this message that the devices is disconnected, but if i go to a different user profile it works with no issues.

So.. i assume there must be some data still present on my user profile somewhere... or maybe a setting, but really dont remember changing much on my PC last time I use it
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:
There is no such option in ADB AppControl but it possible will be added.

All files in the folder where the program was installed and you just need to delete it. You can also remove the CurrentUser/Software/AdbAppControl registry path.

🚀 ADB AppControl 1.8.4

The long awaited update is ready!

I sincerely hope you've been looking forward to it as much as me😉

You have already seen the icons in the process manager in the previous post, so I would like to draw your attention to another important innovation - displaying adb errors. Now you will be able to see the error text in the console, such as why the apk is not installing or apps are not disabling. The error is displayed in the raw in way the device responds. This will allow you to quickly understand the problem, instead of wondering once again what Performed streaming install means....

Changelog

:

1.8.4 hotfix 1: Rollback adb and fastboot to version 34.0.4 due to incompatibility of newer versions of platform tools with Windows 7

Adb and fastboot updated to 35.0.1

Displaying adb errors in the console

Icons in the process manager

Added AppGallery, GetApps, and Bing for the search.

Added notification of a rare data corruption error.

Fixed false message about successful pairing.

Improved update security

Interface fixes

P.S. Sorry for the long silence! Temporary difficulties, so I haven't a working space.

Would it be possible to implement this alternative solution as a fallback for restoring apps uninstalled for user 0 when cmd is unavailable (pre-Oreo)? I've had it fail before on this one device (DEXOPT error), but it's better than nothing as I've used it on other devices without issue.

How to reinstall an uninstalled system app through ADB?

My phone is an unrooted Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge running Oreo 8.0. Yesterday when removing bloatware from my phone, I accidentally uninstalled a system app using the adb command: pm uninstall -k --us...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tab_Triggerhappy:
Well, they have to explain what "root functionality" means to them.

Because that could mean a lot of things. I hope you get more detailed requests.

There are way more unrooted phones in the world ;)

Crossing my fingers. I used the adb shell on the terminal and got it done.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Darkat70:
Is it possible for you to add a feature to force default apps?

For example Samsung seem to want us using the gallery app,when you use Facebook comments, it only brings up photos in the gallery . I want to access photos from Google Photos app, but the defaults option is greyed out and not possible.

You cant disable gallery as it prevents the preview in camera from working.

The only way to get Google photos as a system app is with root,but even then im unsure if it would default open in Facebook.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:

Just want to ask/confirm that your program doesn't need any external ADB stuff?

Just .Net Framework, right?

Also my spare phone is a stock Galaxy J5 with Android 6.01 if you want any testing done, I'm willing to help.

I've debloated it with your program already :good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:

I thought, if its possible to enable native call recorder via ADB on Oppo Reno 10x ZOOM ?

Also cloud you answer my question:

What is difference btw ADB commands and root access ? why i cant remove system apps directly from phone but using your tool its possible ?^^

and if its possible to download any other 3rd app and give it perrmisson to access diall, contacts etc ?;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:
Thank you :)

if you need adb to enable call recording, you can use the console.

Root and adb are fundamentally different things. You cannot uninstall a system application without root, I wrote here about it (Maybe you can't even with root).

And yes, you can give some available permissions to apps in the Permissions Manager.

Hello, today is 1.4.5 release. There this error should be fixed (I hope).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:
HOT!

Update 1.4.5 already here!

I want to thank all those who support me, help me and just use ADB AppControl. And I would like to express special gratitude to the guys who are translating the program. Thank you all!

ADB AppControl is cooler, faster and more stable again.

You can find out the size of applications (apk + data + cache) and sort the applications in the list. In this update, I finally completed the Permission Manager and now you will know exactly which permissions have been set and which have not. I also completely redesigned the search - it works like a filter and takes the convenience of working with the program to a new level. At the request of users, I began to adapt the program for control using Screen Announcer, so that people with vision problems could also use it. And the program has already been translated into several languages ​​(Spanish, French, Italian and Swedish) and, in my opinion, it's great!

I highly recommend watching the video review of 1.4.5 at YouTube:

ADB AppControl 1.4.5. New search and sorting. Update overview.

Change list

:

Improved the permission manager.

Improved and redesigned search of the application list.

Added the ability to uninstall and disable applications from the context menu.

Added the ability to clear application data from the context menu.

Added information about the app size (does not work on all devices!).

Added sorting of apps in the list. Can be sorted by name, package size and selection state (only in the Extended Version).

Added support for users translations (via my.tsv file)

Started adaptation for Screen Announcer (for people with special needs).

Some other fixes and improvements.

Btw, I want to remind you that the program is able to grant permissions to popular applications (LIST). But in my opinion, few people know about it. Let's fix this omission together and share this valuable info with others ;)

Thank you [MENTION=10832569]Cyber.Cat[/MENTION] for this great application!

I just wanted to ask whether you would consider adding Tasker to the well-known apps that can be enabled with this tool.

As far as I know the ADB commands are these:

.\adb shell am force-stop net.dinglisch.android.taskerm

.\adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

.\adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.SET_VOLUME_KEY_LONG_PRESS_LISTENER

.\adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.READ_LOGS

.\adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.DUMP
