If the rules are changing on him each and everytime and you are aware of the risk before buying then why do you keep buying? Your car thing doesn't hold water because this would be like the government revoking the right of the car you bought to be on the road after you bought it.

He has stated he's working on trying to come up with another delivery method in the other thread he's got time to come visit. He clearly needs a better delivery platform. Do you realize how many people are all flooding him with requests right now?

Ok guys, let's all take this discussion down a notch before things start getting out of hand and I have to apply a little bleach to this high spirited discussion. While I understand the frustration that many are having with this situation, let's keep the topic of discussion on track, and not begin to take it out on each other. Thanks for your understanding and patience, and a pleasant day to all.

Thank you!! I will try it!!

Trying this now, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Stromma:
Nice, thanks. But it doesn't seem to work on third party apps though so you can't use for disabling Facebook, Messenger, Instagram etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] *Detection*:
You can disable or uninstall them yourself manually, you don't need a package disabler for those apps
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Stromma:
Yes. But it was possible to have Facebook, Insta etc and just disabling them when I didn't used them with Package Disabler. Now it's back to browser and that kind of sucks as the app is way better and easier. And social media like Facebook more or less killed all web forums so it's not that easy to stop using it either as they now have become facebook groups instead.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] oneandroidnut:

Yea then try selling it once again to people who have bought it multiple times already, think they've sold their last scam, same with CCSWE
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] MrMike2182:
I don't care if they update their app for Android 11 or 30 most of us aren't buying it again! They can shove that app right where the sun doesn't shine!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] android-incredible:
I have the same problem, I emailed the developer and he sent me this note.

Hi,

Restart the device and send a screenshot of the error. Also try reinstalling the app using wifi.

Please send me your order number or Google invoice.

Regards,

PD Team

I did what he said an doesn't work, the developer told me, the one on the website is not supported yet, and told me to buy the cloud one and he will refund the money after I buy the cloud one.

When corporate businesses (like, Google™), are allowing financial transactions to occurr, while there are multiple disputes, not informing the consumers, is a federal trade violation.

I dislike google more and more I am with you guys I have bought that dam app, so many times.

BOTTOM LINE

Organize the minimum number of consumers to contact the Department of Consumer Protection, & submit formal complaints. This will get the attention of the FTC and FCC which has the right and are obligated to open a investigation, court order freeze (hold) on assets, etc. And I do believe many groups/entity's, want to see Google, take responsibility for it's facilitation of mass disinformation, false advertising, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Xoc¡al¡Zed:
I wanted to buy PDP again, not wanted but, ykwIm? ....these post here on xda, stopped me. Then I read yours for ccswe. Your post detoured me to check out CCSWE and then after I purchased it they told me I had to buy something else and be it what it is I did and I thought that was very deceptive of them but other than that they would have told me right away I would have bought them both, ...THANK YOU, CCSWE is really versatile and I like it. Though, I'm doing one thing at a time and modification are slow as I don't want to break anything and when something goes wrong I will know what it is (,that's why I do it slow one at a time). Just wanted to TY. Hope your days/nights and fam is well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] raul6:
the idea behind the pricing structure as explained by the dev

"..

Cory Charlton 03/12/2020

This is the fairest solution I can come up with given the current situation. The installer will not be removed from the Play Store so the $2.49 is a one time payment and if the license is revoked a new version will be distributed via a $0.99 in-app purchase. Feel free to email me at appmanager@ccswe.com if you have any additional questions.

... "

and yes diable apps with caution
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] *Detection*:
A 99p IAP for something you already paid for, yea ok.... no thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] arf8:
Ha, i thought i was the only one who went through this. I had to pay again this time off the website. If it happens again I will not buy.

There is a moral and ethical issue here and it is not related to the money. When you show proof of purchase and are told to still buy another copy says it all right there.

Are you saying that we can do everything that we are trying to do with package disabler directly from the pc and we are struggling with this phone apps all this time !?

I wished i could have seen this comment ages ago..🙇‍♂️
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] destz0r:
Exactly dude lol. This app is amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] n2play:
Thank you. This is the first time I've needed to access Package Disabler since I set it up at least half a year ago so didn't even know there was an issue. I've been happy with all I disabled, but recently started entering things in my PC's calendar that I wanted to also appear in my phone widget and it turned out I needed to re-enable the Samsung mail client for MS calendar to be selectable in settings and this quickly let me re-enable what Package Disabler had disabled and my MS calendar entries immediately showed up on my phone. :)

Ha FUNK the dev of PDP! You're nuttin but a sorry scammer that got his app hacked! I'm running dis b*tch free sucka, you never gotta penny from me
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Kdio:
Hi @MrMike2182 and ALL

Just to corroborate the hypothesis that Package Disabler Pro is a scheme ... Yes, it is.

I've purchased this app from his site for my N975F (Note10X) and the (ir)responsible "developer" now, from nowhere, came with a new rule that I have limited installation times on the same device! There is no statement regarding the issue prior or post purchase.

Even with the OP's image with his/her response regarding that it is a device only, he denies reinstalls.

Just avoid this app and seems that Alliance Shield X is the goto option (notice: I've didn't try it yet).

Nice regards
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] arf8:
ADB is the way to go, anyone planning on installing another app such as Alliance needs to read the privacy policy. https://privacy.alliancex.org/

The Package Disabler developer is not only dishonest, but he also never had a timeline on how long the license was good for.

Guess what he did with all the folks who purchased directly from his website late last year, where there was no mention of a timeline on the license. He revoked all the licenses and now wants people to buy annual license.

Downright a scammer as far as I'm concerned.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] geertbro:
Frankly, I have been using Package Disabler Pro since my S7, without any problems. I did not buy it on Google Play, and only paid once then on the developer's website. Always received correct responses, help and lately a new APK for a fix.

I would advice : just mail the developer, he's fast and friendly and helps wherever he can, no issues with payment as I mentioned. I think it's the 3rd major version already that I'm using on my S10 now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] *Detection*:
I removed Alliance X when they wanted owner permissions for the app rather than just knox, that basically gives their app full control of your device and data, the instructions to get it working now force you to remove your own user account from the phone first and give the app the owner permission first, I don't think so...

Yes this is all apparently because Samsung keep revoking knox licences but sorry that is far too much control of my phone just to disable a few apps... I'll leave them enabled
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] arf8:
The privacy policy is telling. Most people do not read it, but you should, so you are aware what information is being taken from your phone.

Just use ADB to block the apps you don't want, it takes no time, it is free and no intrusion of any kind to your personal data.

For ad blocking there is Blokada probably the best out there and open source.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] *Detection*:
Yea unfortunately Game Optimising Service cannot be disabled any other way, but for most others I've used either ADB or ADB Appcontrol

I use Disconnect Pro for ad blocking, have used Blokada in the past too
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] arf8:
You are correct some you can't but it is very few. Disconnect is not customizable and I doubt they will ever ad the ability to load hosts files. The developers I don't believe have any intention of changing this, some ads still get through so it is good but not great. The upside is they know Knox firewall so your vpn is left open but if something is blocked you can't unblock a domain, you have to white list the app which is not ideal. Blokada uses a VPN so it runs but i think in the latest release they allow you to set the app up based on wifi or mobile data, so if you have a pfsense at home than you don't have to run it.

Another option is to root your phone. I believe Spawnd now offers a unlocked bootloader mod for $100 for s10 and 150 for s20 to unlock the bootloader allowing you to root your snapdragon variant phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] *Detection*:
I was using PiHole at home for WiFi adblocking on phones and it worked perfectly, but I moved house and went with a different ISP who make it near impossible to use your own router and do not allow DNS change in theirs, so only way to use PiHole is to manually set DNS on each client but for whatever reason I never fully discovered it was still bypassing the PiHole DNS and allowing ads through so I gave up and installed Disconnect Pro, I whitelist Samsung Internet as it causes issues with some sites and the browser has it's own adblockers anyway, other than that I've not seen many/any ads

I installed Blokada yesterday to see if I notice any difference, it says it is blocking ads so maybe it is gettiing to them before Disconnect Pro because I wasn't seeing the ads it says it's blocking now prior to installing it

Either way no ads is good :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] arf8:
Disconnect Pro only marginally blocks ads, a lot still go through, it is not an ad blocker really, if you look at what they filter it is minimal compared to a EasyList for example.

You should be able to put in your own pfsense hardware between the ISP and your router no problem. Should not matter if its cable modem or DSL as long as you are using your own equipment (FW and Router) you should be able to run piHole.

My Setup: Cable modem > pfSense HW FW > Router
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] *Detection*:
Router has the modem built in, I cannot use my own router due to it needing to support DHCP Option61 MER and also I need my username/password which my ISP won't give out, there used to be workarounds using wireshark to extract the credentials but it doesn't work with my router hardware revision and firmware, I can use an old modem from my last ISP and it connects, but I only get internet if I then connect the modem to my current ISPs router, so pretty much pointless, if I connect it to one of my DDWRT routers it won't connect as I don't have the credentials or Option61 function

DP has blocked enough for me to not see ads, but still got Blokada running atm, seems to be blocking ads I never saw anyway but I`ll leave it installed
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] arf8:
You must have Sky or live in the UK? Not common out here in the US to require MER option 60/61.

But even so just for your own knowledge you still have a way use your own hardware. You will need to use the ISP/Sky modem for authentication.

1. Assign static IP to your own Router WAN interface in Sky hub

2. Set that IP as DMZ on Sky Hub and disable wireless

3. Connect Sky Hub to your own Router WAN port

4. Your device in router mode and configure internet settings to not require a login / dynamically receive IP / automatically receive DNS servers

5. Set your own router LAN with a different subnet IP.

6. Configure any port forwards etc. etc.

If you want you can put in a pfSense HW FW at step 3 than connect your own wifi router to the FW.

cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] *Detection*:
Yea Sky, Yea could do that but major clart on vs just replacing the Sky router, and still leaves the Sky router still being necessary to the setup which I want to remove completely from the network as it's a POS, they even lock 5GHz to a single channel so you're always overlapping neighbours wifi and getting horrible wifi speeds, although I managed to get around that by editing the backed up config file then restoring it back to the router with a new channel set and it happily changed, so I'm the only customer with CH64 5GHz around here now, everyone else is locked to CH36

Might get around to it at some point or might go back to BT Infinity where I had 0 issues ever and could switch the router no problem, only needed to use their OpenReach modem

Another thing with Sky (Slightly off topic) is at 7pm every night it drops to 50% bandwidth, can set my watch to it, Openreach guy said it's likely just when everyone logs on to COD etc, I disagreed as it's an instant drop as if they put me on the 40meg profile for a couple of hours, then by around 9pm it's back to my usual 80meg

Anyway back to adblocking, pfSense sounds interesting, I have a couple of Rasp Pis sitting about, one already setup running OMV for NAS but I'm sure it could double up as a firewall too, will look into it thanks

[Nokia 2.2] bloatware2:
I'm creating this thread to collect all the useful information about rooting the Nokia 2.2 phone (released on June 2019).

The method I'm following is with Magisk. I'm following the Magisk installation instruction on the official Magisk github repository ( https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html ).

1. One of the preliminary steps is "Your device’s bootloader has to be unlocked". For this, I've activated developer mode on the phone (tapping 10 times on the build number), and then, under Developer options, I've turned on "OEM unlocking - Allow the bootloader to be unlocked".

About this, there seems to be articles on the internet saying that the Nokia phone are impossible to unlock in the bootloader because the manufacurer (HMD Global), has disabled this option through the firmware.

2. Download and install the latest Magisk Manager, and check that "Ramdisk" is yes, which means that your device is perfect for installing Magisk.

This works ok on the Nokia 2.2.

Then come the "Patching Images" steps (an alternative approach would be to install with Custom Recovery):

3. You need a copy of the boot.img. You should be able to extract it "from official firmware packages, your custom ROM zip (if using one), or go to XDA-Developers and seek for resources, guides, discussions, or ask for help in your device’s forum."

This is where I'm

stuck

(actually, I haven't tried yet to even unlock the bootloader), since I could find nowhere on the web a boot.img for the Nokia 2.2.

It's not clear if I could get a copy of this from the phone itself.

4. Copy the boot/recovery image to your device

5. Press the Install button in the Magisk card

6. "If you are patching a recovery image, make sure “Recovery Mode” is checked in options. In most cases it should already be automatically checked."

7. Choose “Select and Patch a File” in method, and select the stock boot/recovery image

8. Magisk Manager will patch the image to [Internal Storage]/Download/magisk_patched.img.

9. Copy the patched image to your PC with ADB: adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.img

10. Flash the patched boot/recovery image to your device.

For most devices, reboot into fastboot mode and flash with command:

fastboot flash boot /path/to/magisk_patched.img or

fastboot flash recovery /path/to/magisk_patched.img if flashing a recovery image

11. Reboot and voila!
