I have no control over Samsung but am doing what I can to protect the license and provide a fair option to everyone involved. I could just abandon the project entirely but instead I continue to invest in keeping the app functional. All other options appear to just be giving up *shrug*

And just like that Alliance Shield X gets their license revoked as well. Reading their forums it sounds like their solution is to remove package disabling from their application all together. The situation sucks but Samsung is the problem and I will continue to fight to keep a package disabler...

The system periodically checks that the license is still valid. I don't have insight on the inner working of the Knox system but any good licensing system would treat an expired cached result the same as a an unlicensed or revoked result.

Google restricts both the number of refunds and promo codes I am able to process. Then there is the issue of the amount of time available to handle either of these. I'm working within the bounds of the limitations presented to me and as such I made the business decision to be very clear...

The license is cached by the system. Give it a few days and the system will prompt you to activate the license and you'll receive an error.

Unfortunately this is the case. Working on an alternative distribution method but Samsung seems to be cracking down hard and I'm running out of partner accounts...

I was actually setup like this to begin with. I know Samsung is familiar with Package Disabler Pro (and has been for much longer than me since they were around first) yet they had a version remain in the Play Store through multiple license revocations of mine. I believed this was due to the fact...

I'm honestly not sure what brings their attention to me as the same version of Package Disabler Pro remained in the Play Store through multiple version of my application. At first I thought it was the free vs. paid aspect but that is obviously not the case. That said I am playing with the idea...

Makes sense and confirmed: 1|beyond1q:/ $ pm disable com.sirma.mobile.bible.android/com.youversion.ui.about.AboutActivity Security exception: Shell cannot change component state for com.sirma.mobile.bible.android/com.youversion.ui.about.AboutActivity to 2 java.lang.SecurityException: Shell...

I haven't looked into the ADB method but isn't it just opening a shell and using `pm` to disable applications? If so this is how CCSWE App Manager (Root) works [via an `su` shell locally on the device] so it should be possible to disable application components as well assuming there isn't a...

CCSWE App Manager has a blacklist and it used to be more comprehensive. In fact the first time license was terminated I was blocking almost everything Samsung specific. Both myself and an attorney friend of mine have contacted Samsung to argue that my application was not in violation of their...

I'm very open regarding the status of my application with Samsung. It violates their license agreement, just like any other Package Disabler distributed to consumers, and they will kill it at some point. Users have the option to assume this risk and purchase the application or not and I hide...

I can't speak on what Samsung specifically does to terminate a license. What I do know is that when they terminate mine the entire Samsung Partner account is terminated. Then if I try to register the old package on a new account it is rejected. So either the license validation checks the account...

The issue can't be resolved in that version as Samsung revoked the license and a license is tied to a specific package.

There was another version in the links listed until today. Unfortunately Samsung terminated both my and Package Disabler Pro's licenses today (maybe a little sooner for PDP)... Who knows when I'll be able to fix it. The core issue is that a Samsung Partner Account is required to generate Knox...

Brining this thread back to life... CCSWE App Manager is still alive and in active development but I have had some license issues with Samsung. Here's some details I posted in another thread: - The Knox license was revoked by Samsung for a second time in September. - When Samsung terminates a...

6.1.1 (226) is the current beta release and will likely be rolling to Production on Monday.

6.1.0 (219) is rolling out now to resolve the issue.

CCSWE App Manager developer here. Figured I'd pop in an clear some things up. - The Knox license was revoked by Samsung for a second time in September. - When Samsung terminates a license they terminate the entire partner account. - A partner account requires some level of validation from...

I'm not familiar with touchwiz rom (6.0.1) but am assuming it's a custom rom not developed / distributed by Samsung. Custom roms will not contain the proprietary Samsung software required to use CCSWE App Manager (SAMSUNG). If the rom provides you with root access I would recommend using CCSWE...

Are you running stock Samsung software and connected to the internet while attempting to activate the license? The license activation makes a call to Samsung's servers to enable the Samsung Enterprise functionality in CCSWE App Manager.

Settings -> Applications -> Default Applications -> Set as default - Locate the application currently set as the default for whatever you are trying to open and choose the "Clear Defaults" button. Now when you attempt to open the file you'll see the chooser again and can select Better Open With.

Agree 100%. Titanium Backup is amazing. With that said I wrote CCSWE App Manager because I needed something lighter weight that could also disable specific activities not just entire packages. Titanium Backup also requires root which Package Disabler Pro and my application do not.

Completely understand and probably would have made the same choice myself. For others considering CCSWE App Manager (SAMSUNG) it is a spin off from CCSWE App Manager (ROOT) which has existed since 2012, has ~18K downloads and a 4.0 rating with 221 reviews. No where near what Package Disabler...

Unfortunately "Better Open With" only partially solves the problem. It has a limited set of intents it listens too an misses many others. For instance if you attempt to send an email from a non-email application "Better Open With" does not show up in the list and you get the default behavior. I...

This was my concern as well and why I developed my own solution. For what it's worth I looked at their code and there is nothing nefarious going on in there. That doesn't mean a future update won't change that and also doesn't give anyone confidence in my solution... Unfortunately it is what...

Shameless plug but CCSWE App Manager (SAMSUNG) can be used to disable these applications as well. This specific problem was what motivated me to create the (SAMSUNG) variant of CCSWE App Manager.

It's been a long time since CCSWE App Manager got any love (it didn't need it :D) but I recently re-wrote it to support disabling applications, activities, and services on stock Samsung devices without the need for root: Check out CCSWE App Manager (ROOT) to hide icons for any application on a...

No, pretty standard apps installed and nothing specific to motion or proximity (aside from the handful of test apps I've installed to see what the proximity sensor readings are).

After digging a little deeper it appears that the G3 uses the same IC (a GP2A from Sharp) for both the proximity and light sensor. From looking at the GP2A kernel module code it appears that the ADC values are from the light sensor output and the PROXIMITY value is from the proximity sensor...

I don't know anyone else with an S3 but if anyone wants to check their *#0*# -> Sensor screen and tell me what the PROXIMITY and ADC values are when you aren't close to the sensor I'd appreciate it. Maybe I'll hit up the Sprint store and test it on a display model :laugh: That said the page I...

Thanks for the response. No screen protector or case. I did clean the entire screen this morning and the behavior didn't change. Was hoping I wouldn't have to take the phone back but then again if this was a common problem with a simple solution my searching this morning probably would have...

Just got my Galaxy S3 a few days ago and today when I answered a call the screen immediately went blank and I could not turn it back on until the caller hung up. I've had other calls prior to today and cannot recall if the phone behaved the same way. I've been searching for a solution and...

Thanks for the details! I just confirmed this is the case on my test devices as well. I'll need to dig deeper but this would seem to indicate that something (perhaps the map application itself) re-enables the Navigation icon on boot. This is certainly something I can overcome but it's not...

I just checked on my test devices and the Navigation icon still shows up for me under the Maps application and hides/shows fine. Can you give me more details on the problem? IE: Does the Navigation icon not appear in the list or does it just not disappear when you hide it? In general some...

Shouldn't need any special permission to determine if a specific package is installed.

Quick release to resolve a possible issue with the filtering functionality and changed the theme for v11+ devices.

I just uploaded version 1.1.0 which adds the following (highly requested) features: - Added icon to indicate an application has hidden activities - Added filtering to make managing applications easier - Improved UI for smoother scrolling lists

Just uploaded version 1.0.5. Only change is to filter Apex Launcher from the list of available applications since it doesn't like being hidden. As always shoot me an email at [email protected] and I'll be more than happy to help.

Technically it disables the Activity associated with the icon which does in fact make it unusable while hidden. Beyond a launcher with the capability to hide icons this is the only way to do it. For most launchers this would be fine as separate Activities are created for the "Settings" and...

This application modifies system settings to hide the icons or freeze applications. They will continue to be hidden/frozen after uninstalling so you should unhide them first or reinstall the application when you need to restore them.

Haven't seen/heard of this before. My first suggestion would be to exit out and retry. If that doesn't work you can PM me here or email [email protected] (better option since it dings my phone :D) and I'll try and help you resolve it.

The freeze option would allow you to hide all icons and completely disable an app but this probably isn't what you want... Short press the app to transition into the "Details" view at which point you'll see a list of icons associated with the application. Short press the icons you want to...

So not only will Facebook Icon Remover no longer be supported but I will most likely be unpublishing it entirely: As before check out CCSWE App Manager for all your icon hiding needs moving forward.

Thanks for all the positive feedback. Next releases will be focused on making it easier to use (filters and status indicators).

[APP][5.0+] CCSWE App Manager (Root/Samsung) CCSWE App Manager was designed for users who want disable applications and packages to improve performance. It also allows you to hide icons for applications they do not use without uninstalling the entire application. You can also hide icons for...

Just a heads up that I will no longer be supporting Facebook Icon Remover. If you wish to hide icons for any applications you should checkout my latest app CCSWE App Manager. More info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639707

Was a good run while it lasted ;-) Glad they listened to user feedback Keep an eye out for my latest up that will allow you to hide icons for any application (tenative release this weekend).

Several launchers include this ability (including some stock ones, TouchWiz on ICS tablets comes to mind). This is an option for people who like their current launcher and don't already have the ability to hide icons.

No, they should remain hidden unless you restore them.
