You can't call your app privacy friendly if it collects the IP address, that's personal data, even if that data is never shared with any third party. And collecting all `CPU, RAM, operating system version and installed components from user's PC` is borderline close to personal data as well, since theoretically it could be used to identify someone. Again, I understand you'd like to have stats about how people use your app, but I think that's just too much. I fail to see why you would need all that information on a normal use. Explaining what you do with that data might be a good start. Anonymising the data is a good practice too.

Again, I don't want to bash your app, I'm just here to discuss privacy.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:
But you do. And only because I'm here with you. Try to "discuss privacy" with Facebook or Microsoft.

Do you realize that every site you visit on the Internet knows your IP? Doesn't that bother you? When the program connects to the server it gets the client IP address anyway. All statistics I collect are completely anonymous and cannot be used or used to personally identify you. What's more, you agreed to provide it twice - first when you downloaded the program, and second when you ran it. Or don't you read the agreement? I ingenuously tell you what data I need and gave ADB AppControl (which I kindly provided to you for free).

And I'm completely honest with my users for which I trying to make the best software. Collected statistics of disabled applications helps to "combat" with bloatware. And that's our main goal for everyone here, I hope.

Personally, I use a firewall and only allow network access for applications I trust. If you don't trust ADB AppControl (and me) simply block it from accessing the network.

What exactly disgusts you? The Console.log file stores all user operations in the program. The data from this file is NEVER collected and NEVER transmitted.

There you are, my fan. You so cleverly copy my idea with 🚀 in the title of your app thread on this forum. My respect. Looking for something else? Maybe for multiple users support and IP-history? Or did you just take the opportunity and decide to play some dirty in the competition?;)

I have to say that the rocket looks pretty cool, however I came here to talk as a normal user.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chief:
Hi,

I want to thank you for the app and congratulations for the anniversary!

I would like to use extended version. How do I participate in that?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:
Hi, thanks! The anniversary event already ended, but you can ask about in the our telegram group;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gochi22:
Yes, good question you can reset your device but after taking a backup.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:
This is always good rule of regulary backup your data from the smartphone. Especially when debloat.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mshy:
Thank you for the tool and was able to remove applications as stated however some apps keeps on coming back after a restart. Is it because i was not able to clear all of it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HarrisonS9:
try disabling auto updates in play store. open playstore, press your user icon or the 3 lines in either the top left or right, then press settings, network preferences, and select do not auto update apps in the drop-down menu. hope this helps
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mshy:
Thanks for the response. I got to permanently disable/remove the apps that i was frustrated for a week. There were related services with different names, i had to google almost every services i had :D it took time but it was worth it.

This tool is the best even with the free version.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] enotar:
What about Backup of installed applications?

Possible?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:
Depends from the app and only If the developer set allowbackup property to true in the manifest. Unfortunately, most apps have allowbackup=false and backup via adb not possible. I've given up on that idea until I find a workable way.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vagenrider:
your tool is amazing mate,you are great talent.thanks so much!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Limeybastard:
Once an app is disabled via this method , it needs to be re-enabled using this app again right and can't be enabled just via the phone. ?

Looks like it can enabled be via app store no worries.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] InternetExpIorer:
Hi, I purchased the license and wanted to ask. what happens if I "deactivate"? can I use the license on another PC after deactivated?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ruud Westerhout:
Just a quick 'Thank You' from my side. Wanted to debloat my phone before purchasing a new one, so I know it can be done. Found a link to XDA (where I have not been for ages) to this app and highly appreciate your efforts. It works perfectly!

I took the extended version to provide you some coffee to show this appreciation. Keep up the good work !!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:
I am very pleased to read such feedback. It motivates to keep working. I have prepared something interesting for you in the new version and the release will be very soon ;)

🚀 ADB AppControl 1.7

Thank you all for supporting the project!

Review on YouTube

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.

Remote management capability has been added via Scrcpy application from Genymobile developer. This is a free, open-source application that allows you to display and control your smartphone screen. Now you can easily install and run it through ADB AppControl.Important! Scrcpy does not work with landscape screen orientation and will not work on some tablets and TVs. Waiting for updates from the dev.

Spoiler content hidden.

Changelog:

Added Tools tab with new features: Remote device control, control buttons, changing screen resolution, hiding status bar icons, device information.

Added support for multiple users of the Android device (the current user is detected automatically)

Added RAM usage indicator.

Added fastboot to console (fast commands are supported)

The search is now not reset when you change the category of the app list.

Added drag and drop apk file to device folder.

Added Install item to the context menu.

Added Samsung Galaxy Store search.

Fixed search with spaces at the end of a line.

Fixed error if application list is empty.

Other fixes and improvements.

DOWNLOAD​

I hope you enjoy a new update.

Respectfully

🚀 ADB AppControl 1.7.1 hotfix

Changelog

:

- Fixed an error when the device connecting

- Fixed saving of screenshots

- Added remove screenshot button

You can update from the program or download from official site
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:
Hello guys, I have added an installer for ADB AppControl 1.7.1.

The installer automatically creates shortcuts to start and uninstall the program.

Please let me know, are you comfortable installing the program from an archive or installer?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] carlitobahsoun:
for me , i iuse archive never install it in my laptop , thats better for me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dor71:
Installer
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] boldrake:
archive
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] david72262:
First time installer, used installer
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] deserted:
+2 archive
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Slim2none4u:
I've not used the installer but like the idea and it would automate some steps that are done manualy.

+1 on the archive though being old school an all 😁
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:
Thanks for answers, guys. I'll leave both the installer and the archive for download. I did some work on the installer and made it more handy and nice. It now checks the .NET Framework version at startup and does not offer to install the program to the root of the C drive. All new versions of ADB AppControl will now come with an installer and an archive at the same time.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] genziutek:
Work great on Note 10+ and Tab S6 Lite 👍
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ontabok:
First of all, excellent work! Great app!

Has anyone used it on a Kindle Fire HD 7? I'm trying to unload it for a kid and it won't connect completely.

I did a manual install of ACBridge, but I still get the message to allow permissions or wake up.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:
What the Android version on your Kindle? The ACBridge app works only with Android 6 and newer.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ontabok:
That would explain it. It's on Fire 5.6.8.0. I'm trying to see if it will update. Thanks for the answer! And, HUGE THANKS for the app development.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:
If the remote control of smartphone screen via SCRCPY not working.

You see the screen but can't control - on Xiaomi devices, you need to enable USB debugging (security settings) in the Developer settings.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fullmetal Jun:
Been using for my phone.

I'm glad that it also works on my Galaxy Watch 4
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sdkyron:
This app, why didn't i find it sooner, omg it's amazing, bought it after 10 seconds lol :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] flyingwolf:
Hey Dev @Cyber.Cat

I love the app and I am about to purchase it right now.

I had some upgrade ideas for you with the paid version.

Perhaps you could integrate a simple interface that allows advanced users who come across useful ADB commands to be able to input them into the program and send them, that way you stay in the same familiar interface?

You could also create "plug-ins" in which users could create a series or set of ADB commands saved as a special extension, say ".UAM" that would be read by Ultimate App Manager and when ran would tell you what it was going to do based on the comments in the code, and then allow you to execute the commands.

This way users could create custom scenarios for different situations and even fully premade scripts to help you go from a freshly formatted phone to a perfectly restored phone by sending and installing and setting permissions on apps, removing bloatware, setting the settings the way the user likes and installing wallpapers, credentials, etc.

I could theoretically get my phone exactly how I want it, use the app to take a snapshot of the allowable items or even an interface with checkboxes to save what I want to save or "check all" with the ability to edit later or before sending back, then if I happen to lose or break my device beyond repair I can use my insurance for a new one, or buy a replacement, enable USB debugging, hook it up, run the setup script, go watch a youtube video and in a few my device is ready and waiting for me.

Since this can all already be done via ADB commands, it is just complicated, it would be a HUGE boost to have it done in a GUI making it available to the average Joe.

You could either include this in your already awesome extended version or have it as an add-on package that can be purchased for those who are power users and want the functionality while keeping the base price friendly for those who do not need the extra.

Just a thought.

And thanks again for the amazing software.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:
Thanks for your feedback! I like to see AppControl as simple as possible and understandable for users. But I see there is a request from professionals and I'll consider your suggestion😉
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] flyingwolf:
My pleasure!

I fully embrace the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) method and love it, my thought was having it tiered, much like the 3d printer slicing programs, beginning, intermediate, advanced. Let the end-user choose, offer support for lower tiers, advanced, "you are on your own, you said you knew what you were doing" type of situation lol.

Still love the program too.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Wallaceman105:
I'm trying to fix up my LG Folder 2, and I can't get developer options unlocked due to menu design. Am I SoL or is there another way to get this to work?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:
I guess you can't get an answer here. But if your device has Android then it must be possible to debug it ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Wallaceman105:
I found the answer, that model requires you to dial a specific "##" code, but offers no direct control over sideloading apps, so still a bit stuck. Honestly, very stuck right now as Mint Mobile apparently switched to an app-only activation process for their sim cards, and I can't install apps. Honestly, even more stuck than that, because the store never checked that the phone was network unlocked, so I might have to try getting a refund from Mint and putting up with Tracphone for a year.

This has been a very fun process.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mistraller:
I wanted to try the software, but Fsecure detected the file as a virus. Maybe some potential dangerous libraries used in the package?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Slim2none4u:
Maybe a false report? This software is safe. If you think otherwise, dont use it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mistraller:
Checked the file on virustotal: Almost all scanners (including Fsecure) report it as safe. So I assume it's safe. I tried to re-download the file, Fsecure kept silent this time.

VirusTotal

VirusTotal

www.virustotal.com
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:
It's the antivirus's job to protect its user. But sometimes they can be too paranoid. No dangerous libraries here - I only used my own code in ADB AppControl. But the adb.exe binary file is included with the program may be a sufficient reason for alarm. Just so you understand, version 1.7.1 has been downloaded by thousands of users and is completely safe. Rest assured, my reputation is important to me ;)

I'm not sure that it will work from sandbox. The program wait for a usb connection event to connect to device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mistraller:
I use VMware as a sandbox, I can connect usb devices from the host. It will work, did this many times before. But in this case it seems false alarm (I edited my post) because virustotal was totally fine with the file :) Thanx!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jrchester:

✅ Hi guys,

I have a good news for you!

The ADB AppControl official website has been moved to www.adbappcontrol.com

I tried to make it nice and useful and I'm very hope that you like the new ADB AppControl website! All releases, news and documentation will now be there. The old site will no longer be updated, so change your bookmarks😉
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MeepMan:
Some permissions are failing to be set.. do I need to be root to set them?

For instance, Android Setup let me disable "ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" but not "ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE". The ones that work will turn off but the ones that fail will pop up in an error message.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:
Hey, some permissions are set in the app manifest by developer and you cannot change them. But you can manage dangerous runtime permissions, like a storage or contacts access, through ADB AppControl. You can't to revoke the ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permission, use a firewall app instead.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Alekos:

Hi,

I've wanted to unistall Chrome od my Realme GT 5G because of battery draining and it looks like I did it (the app and the google bar dispappeared) but in my battery status there is still a com.android.chrome app with battery usage around 41%.

What am I doing wrong?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Toys Samurai:
I tried uninstalling Google Fit from my Fossil Gen 6 watch. However, even after it's uninstalled successfully, the app still shows up in the watch's App list. What can I do to remove it completely? I want to downgrade the app to an earlier version but the earliest version that I could uninstall through Play Store is 2.56. I want to uninstall the app and sideload from an old apk.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:
Hi, in Android system you can't completely uninstall system app without root rights - its installation apk remains. Just uninstall your apps through ADB AppControl and they won't work and run. It's the good and safe way to uninstall apps, because you are always can restore them.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ubimo:
I would love to see a "partition explorer". Is this even possible?

I know, this is "App control", but you seem a wise developer. :-)

Do you mean the file explorer?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FoxyDrew:
I'm broke as $&*% homie. Do we really need 2 unskippable 5 second donation begs EVERY time the program is opened?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyber.Cat:
Hey guys, a little announce of 1.7.2 update here :)

I've fixed a few important bugs and improved the app install menu. You can also see that the name of the saved apk now includes version. I hope to release it in 2021. Please, give me your feedback and bug reports if you have them (maybe I can fix them in time for this update).

I'm trying to use your program on galaxy z fold3 which is running on android 11.

Do you have plans to have your program work on android 11?

I keep getting the following pop-up when I try to run your program.

devices connected: 3

this program is not intended to work with more than one device

I only have 1 phone connected to my pc.

Any advice would be great.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ninja_Gundam:
I am just trying it with Oppo Find X3 coz no root and i have to use adb >_<. Software seems to works ok to disable\remove bloat apps. Is there a way from phone to reenable disabled app from adb ? (without using again a pc i mean). Would be cute a feature like Titanium so save apk+all :)

Chooo
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SomniusX:
You are talking about accessing adb commands for the phone thru e.g. a terminal shell like termux?

If you download the adb binaries into termux and enable your adb thru network on the phone, you can connect thru a some-what-like-a-loopback connection to

localhost:port

and send commands to the phone.

But why do that when you can use a software like @Cyber.Cat 's and do it with a couple of mouse clicks.. :-/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ninja_Gundam:
Maybe I've explained bad.. sorry it'smy fault. Im used to use Titanium Backup to do all those things. This AppControl is cool and have potential, 'coz no root needed but you need a pc. I'm just suggesting to create a companion mini app on mobile to at least re-enable the apps disabled with AppControl from pc. Coz if you are not home, and maybe you need some apps disabled there is no way to re-enable without a pc. Going to terminal will be a little too much for most users i think ^_^;

Chooo
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SomniusX:
There are scripts to run with the method I described or from another phone or anything that can run adb binaries to access your phone and do similar actions.

.. but this is easier, this can mass restore apps etc.

Nothing can replace Titanium Backup, but there is also Swift Backup that does many things with non-routed and more with rooted phones. You should check it out too.
