Depends on what type of disabling you want to do.

Using Knox to disable apps is strictly forbidden by Samsung hence the other apps disappear and come back with a new license. (And ask for more money)

However, Knox allows you to 'prevent run' apps. The icon stays in your launcher but when you tap on it nothing happens. The system won't allow it to start.

That doesn't work for services.

If you want to disable services and remove the icon then we offer the Device Owner way. It can be a pain to setup, and once setup you lose Secure Folder and a few other things.

Something is wrong with your registeration process. The page is dark and font is red and hard to see, and when I did everything and filled out my email address and username and password I want, it gave me error saying I need to choose correct username or something to that liking. Why can't you just have an in app Google login or in app registration instead of redirecting us to an online registration page that isn't the best?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] RRiVEN:
Without the exact error hard to help you. There are requirements for the username like no spaces and special characters.

We will look into a way for changing the theme for registration.

As for other logins sorry can't do that. We have our reasons. We used to have other logins but it was more trouble trying to support our unique userbase and their needs.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] Stonewolf:
I would use that app if the owner would make it more easier to use! Not only is asking for a registration, but the mail is not sent in order to be able to activate it. I'm looking for quite sometime for an app to remove completely some bloatware, especially FB and everything related to. And, to freeze the "software update" - I'm happy with the actual vs. 9 on Note 9 and don't even think on performing any updates!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] Stonewolf:
Ok, so finally I've got what I needed. The ONLY way to do it is based on ADB with terminal console (I've done it with my mbpro). NO other "app" will do it at this moment. Software update removed, fbul****, linkedin and many others. Happy.

How to uninstall carrier/OEM bloatware without root access

If you want to get rid of carrier/OEM apps from your phone, here's how you can uninstall bloatware from your device without root access!

www.xda-developers.com
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] RRiVEN:
Glad you got it figured out.

This app will do it, if you setup device owner. As will the many other Device Owner apps out there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] brockyneo:
Do any of you guys have like a excel or spreadsheet of what all the apps do and what's safe to remove ect?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] Stonewolf:
I've tried more than 20 apps, of course all of them not-rooted; none of them worked, useless. Your app does not provide device owner function ("not yet" advice when trying to set on). To set device owner on the hard way - not interested, too many steps and way too hard. As said, ADB flawless.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] Stonewolf:
Depends a lot on running version and device. G (together with device owner) changed every time, with every new version, system apps. You might want to check this (anything you do, take it on your own risk):

List of Samsung Bloatware You can Safely Uninstall (2024)

If you want to uninstall system apps on your Samsung Galaxy phone or Tab, here is a list of safe-to-remove Samsung bloatware.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] RRiVEN:
I am 100% sure it supports Device Owner. I have personally helped countless people set it up. If you can use ADB to disable apps you can setup Device Owner. The added benefit of not needing a computer.

There is no one click and Device Owner is enabled which is why the switch does nothing. (We did change the message in the latest beta update because that one is confusing)

Device Owner is too powerful so the setup is more indepth to prevent bad apps from abusing it.

Small price you pay to disable apps without root.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] RRiVEN:
We do but like stated each release and device has a different list.

If you join our Discord server you can ask what other people have disabled and they share their lists.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] algarues:
Dear Rriven

could it be possible to confirm if the app can also disable services and activities please?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] RRiVEN:
Using device owner yes.

Using Knox no. That is against their terms.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] bakshi:
Hi @RRiVEN ,

Does it offer the ability to uninstall apps from inside Secure Folder? I'll install it once it offers it.

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] brockyneo:
hi guys just a question will this work on my other device lenovo legion duo 2?

and if so can i follow the device owner guide on the main website and i dont have to be rooted?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] RRiVEN:
Yes same way to setup Device Owner. However most features won't work if you don't have Samsung Knox.

Package Disabler WILL work
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] brockyneo:
thanks all im after doing is disabling some stock apps so this should still work?

also if for any reason i need to factory reset or sell my device it will just go back to normal like it was never installed the device owner?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] RRiVEN:
Yes it will work and yes a simple factory reset will revert it back to normal.

Don't need to to a FDR, just enable all that you've disabled and reboot. At the worst go to recovery and clear the cache partition.

Alliance Shield X appears to be broken.

When I try to login to my registered account, I get "Too many devices registered" although there are 3 devices at maximum.

The error message redirected me to an "Admin" login where my registered credentials were not accepted.

Even more funny: When I tried to enter Offline Mode, I got the notification "Offline Login error: Internet connection required" (wtf?)

I guess noboby is surprised when I tell you that this login option did not work either because of allegedly too many devices registered.

Conclusion: Alliance Shield X is currently unusable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] RRiVEN:
Not sure where to begin.

I checked your account, way more than 3 devices registered so that error is not wrong. I can post the screenshot of all the devices registered on your account if you want me to.

Once your device receives the too many devices error offline login is disable, because that would let you bypass the device limit. If it is prompting you to try and offline login that is a bug and we can look into it.

If your credentials don't work on the account page please ensure your username and password is correct. It uses the same auth as the app. There are a few edge cases of non-english characters not working.

Not sure what the nobody is surprised comment is a about. We have had some server issues the past week as we are experiencing a huge increase in traffic due to a few how-to videos posted and we had a few DDOS attacks, but the server is up and working right now, just checked, don't see any alerts for today.

What confuses us is how people expect world class service and support from a free app, but whatever.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] DAC324:
I can only repeat that I can remember having registered 3 devices.

Looks like something went wrong there. Hence, I'd kindly request deleting all devices from my account so that I can at least fix my password (see below).

As for the password containing special chars: Indeed, there is the $ character included. Looks like that was not the best choice.

I cannot get past the login on that page https://shieldx.alliancex.org/account/ despite of even trying on several different browsers.

Looks like I will have to change the password but that's currently not possible, unfortunately.

Finally, that "nobody is surprised" was not meant to be offending but simply stating that as the offline login required an internet connection, it of course failed for the same reasons as the initial attempt so that was not surprising.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] DAC324:
As for offering the Offline Mode please see attached screenshot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] RRiVEN:
I just deleted all of your devices, try to login now. (for faster service use our Discord where we have mods and other admins who can help you)

Yes the passwords are a constant pain due to legacy code issues. We will recheck passwords with $ again

The offline login is supposed to compute the hash with what was entered in the user/pass box and compare with the stored hash, if it matches prompt for offline login but that is clearly broken.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] DAC324:
Looks like now, my password does not work in the app, either. It is rejected as being incorrect.

Interestingly, I can still log in on https://alliancex.org/index.php using that old password (the one with the $ char). So it looks like there is a bug on https://shieldx.alliancex.org/account/

For now, I have removed that offending $ char, and now it looks like it is working in the app as well.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] RRiVEN:
We have noticed that when you root your device or trip Knox it won't let you use Device Owner.

But if you have root then you don't need device owner. If you really want it you can use root to modify the file needed to tell the device what app is device owner
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] blackhawk:
The app uses Knox. So if Knox was tripped it makes sense that it doesn't work.

Might as well go back to rooted as it would be more functional. The benefits of being stock have been lost...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] RRiVEN:
Correct, but they mentioned the Device Owner app from that one company I refuse to promote. They make two apps, one for Knox and one for Device Owner (technically three one for LG also). That way they can charge you two or three times.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] NovaProspekt70:
Hi, thanks for sharing this! Can I ask you if you have a list (or you know where I can find one) of the services/permissions which can be disabled to reduce the Wakelocks caused by Google Play Services?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] NovaProspekt70:
Hi, can I ask you if the app needs to run always in background to keep the modified permissions to System apps, or I can put it in Deep Sleep?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] RRiVEN:
I do not.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] NovaProspekt70:
I was asking the list to the user who shared the application link.

I asked you whether the App can be placed in Deep Sleep even after settings permissions or if it needs to stay awake in the background
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] blackhawk:
I keep Google play Services temporarily disabled in settings unless needed like to access Gmail.

Otherwise it will habitually use 1-2% SOT @ hr.

Playstore and Google backup Transport are also dependencies of Google play Services. I don't use either of these because they also use a significant amount of resources.

I'm running on Pie... your results may vary. You need to optimize according to your needs, software and firmware. No shotgun approach to this that will work for everyone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] NovaProspekt70:
If you want another approach might be to remove Google Play Services from the whitelist of unoptimized system apps by using this: "

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS22/comments/v7042x
" and then using apps like Naptime the Play Services should be dozed for the majority of time.

I'll try to disable Transport packages, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] blackhawk:
Global power management isn't needed and can cause a lot of trouble. This includes adaptive battery, etc in Device Care. Global power management ie Standby apps never worked right and isn't needed to get a clean running Samsung.

Deal with each power hog on a case by case basis. In its app settings you can try disabling background battery (doesn't effect standby bucket states ie global power management) and background data. If that fails use more aggressive means like temporarily disabling, blocking or uninstalling it.

I use Package Disabler and disable about 70 apps. Be very careful about disabling the numerous small Samsung system apps that modify the UI. There are about a hundred starting with Android 10 then were present in 9, yet my disable list is near identical for both. Disabling the wrong system app can screw up the UI appearance and/or functionality and be extremely hard to track down.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] NovaProspekt70:
The only options I keep active on Device Care (Android 12 - Galaxy s10+ Exynoss) are the battery protection (cap charge to 85%) and slow charge, but I am using the Deep Sleep feature for apps like Brave and Boost for Reddit, because they both kill my battery otherwise (I also had to enable the option close tabs on exit on brave, because even with Deep Sleep was able to keep executing for minutes after closing it).

Do you advise to disable the 3 lists Sleep, Deep Sleep, and Unoptimized? If do that, how can I sleep apps like them?

FYI, I don't have root, just ADB.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] blackhawk:
Brave is a pain, thought I was the only one🤣 You need to close it out when not using or it continues to run (and ping) unless you do so.

Ditch any installed social media use by browser login only.

Developer options>Standby apps, all buckets should show as active and you can't change the bucket states. If this is false than global power management is active. You can't disable here though. It's somewhere in the settings in Device Care under battery. The 3 buttons on the top right for that hidden menu? It's there...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Themes, Apps, and Mod] NovaProspekt70:
Yeah, I thought it too:ROFLMAO:

BTW yes, all the buckets are active and I can't change them (they revert immediately).

The only social media I have is Reddit, but unfortunately is a pain to use it in the browser because the mobile layout is horrible. Unfortunately, also the client of Reddit takes a lot of battery like Brave
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark-1978:
Goodday folks,

my android car stereo won't let me listen to music while navigating. The os is android 8.1 go, api23, so it's more like marshmallow. Under accessibility options there isn't a way to disable mono sound. There should be a way through usb with a computer and adb to disable audio focus for the navigating app, but i can't make the computer find the radio through usb. The usb connector from the radio is a big loosy, so maybe that's why i can't connect. I think, after 15 minutes of navigating (navigating sounds turned off) it still closes the music app.

Can someone help me getting audio from navigation and mp3 player simultaneously to work?

The radio is working good, just the navigating part. I tried running terminal emulator and following command:

In tasker use "Run shell" the following command with desired package name:

appops set <package> TAKE_AUDIO_FOCUS ignore

The shell does know appops, but when i enter a programm in there, it gives some java errors and a permission denied error. The command prompt starts with xxxxxdemo> that's unusual i think.

This is the error i get:

permission denial getcurrentuser() requires android.permission.interact_across_users

maybe it needs a rooted device.

maybe if i could find out the user, i could enter it in the appops command. Does anybody know the shell command to find the user?

Thanks in advance
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark-1978:
Found the solution. The radio has a factory menu, guarded with a keycode. Inside the menu, there is another menu called apps. Inside apps, you can select 5 apps that can produce audio concurrently. You can also pick apps that have to autoboot. Followed by a reboot and audio ducking works.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] ooompa:
Long story short, I have 2 LG G7's that I got from eBay as "fake" PM's and were flashed to ULM (20.f). Both were activated on Twigby (native Sprint coverage plus voice roaming through both Verizon and it's roaming partners and Sprint's roaming partners; no data roaming available) and have worked flawlessly over past 6 months. Android 9.

Then suddenly, couple days ago, one of the G7's has lost roaming capabilities. Tried network reset and factory reset, but it didn't fix it. I know it can see the Verizon towers but it never connects to them.

The other G7 is still working fine. Twigby support is good (I spent couple hours with them troubleshooting) but they don't sell these phones and their best educated answer was that there is some kind of hardware damage or the system files are corrupted (especially that factory reset didn't fix anything)

The only roaming setting I can find is the data roaming, which is off. I am 100% convinced that I have seen a more complex set of options that included voice/call roaming too, but I cannot locate it right now. Maybe it was under Android 8 (that's how it was shipped to me)

Questions to you, and trying to save some time.

- obviously, what could be wrong? (especially if you had a similar experience)

- should I try to re-flash the same version? (I think it's 20.f)

- or should I roll it back to newest Android 8 version? (hoping to be able to use the call/voice roaming setting)

- what about Lineage?

Thanks.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] ooompa:
FYI, I first reflashed it with Android 8 file and the roaming worked right away. Reflashed it again with 20f file and it's still working.

No idea what caused it but re-flash is the fix.

Looks like something got corrupted in the os , glad to see the reflashing fixed it!
