About BK Disabler new update

[soilentgreen]

So from what I read the devs removed "service disabler" function. What it's mean? the new update make the app useless? There's a lot of piss off people.
But more important if the app is now useless to disable services, and of what I read on xda, people ask for service disabler apps, and bk was recommended, what can we use now?
Does the new update kill the "Theme Service Disabler with Tasker + bk" method?

Thanks

Service disable means you still can use the apps but some services like getting location or pushing notification will not be started, because you disabled.

But now, this option will be removed, not sure if they will release the apps to somewhere.

I assume this means you can't disable any new services. All that I disabled prior to the update are still disabled. If I had read the update I wouldn't have updated the app.

I only purchased this app last month because package Disabler pro stopped working.

I wonder if that's the reason my screen off discharge rate went from 0.5% per hour to a little over 1% per hour now?

Regarding the wording, it is disabling packages, not services. In the app, I could not find services.
I think, all is well and drama not appropriate, but they should have worded it a lot more in detail.

You can disable any app you want, what you can not do now, is disabling individual services within the targeted app

After this same thing happened with Easy Disabler and Package disabler pro on the N7, I have disabled auto updating for BK since I installed it.

How do you disable updating for just this app? I disabled updates when the note 7 debacle, but all updates in general got disabled, btw, my note 7 works just fine, as day one

Just go to the BK play store page and uncheck auto-update. You need to disable the updates for both BK and the plugin.

My Note 7 was working great too but Verizon finally disabled my service which seems like some sort of violation to me. It didn't seem worth fighting them over it though.

Thank you all for the answers.
So the devs publish this:

"Hello,

If you want to keep Service Disabler function, reinstall the old version of “BK Plugin 2” in the link below and turn off Google Play auto-update app. Thanks!"

Download link:

Hopping in the next update the devs will upload the apk with service disabler function outside the play store.

Not sure if it's to do with BK or the January update. But my screen off discharge rate has doubled from 0.5% to 1 % per hour recently.

I'm so glad that I never enable auto update in the Play Store. I read every what's new note prior to updating. Since I haven't updated BK & Plug-in it still works fine just as before. I just can't click update all in the Play Store now since these 2 apps are always in queue to update.

I don't do auto update either. I did a manual update before I read what had happened unfortunately.

@Limeybastard

Continue to launch 'BK Disabler' as you usually would.

See the attached screenshot as to why the software package was pulled.

Cheers, I uninstalled the current plugin and installed the apk.

Which menu within this app allows me to disable system apps that are now not allowed?

SO I hope this isn't a noob question but I noticed it forces you to agree for the KLMS license in order to use. Is this an issue?

Whats the story with the KLMS Agent licence and relation to KNOX?

PS: I am trying to disable services so OTA updates don't happen while I use the note 8 for a while before I decide if I want to root it. Obviously I don't want updates to happen and prevent future rooting. If there is a better way than BK disabler I am open to suggestions...

Thank you,

BK Disabler - Services Removal Explanation

@Limeybastard

Which menu within this app allows me to disable system apps that are now not allowed?

There appears to be confusion regarding the changes.

Allow me to explain.

(I've also attached a screenshot to illustrate what is missing in the newer versions.)

With earlier versions of BK Disabler, you could disable ANY Service AND still run the Application.

This would be useful if you didn't want a specific Service to run alongside the Application (e.g., You are investigating a battery drain related to Google Play and found 'AppMeasurementReceiver' Service to be the culprit. You could disable that Service but still run the Application).

With the new version of BK Disabler, you can no longer disable Services; only Applications.

The ability to disable Services WITHOUT root is a powerful option BUT can cause stability issues if used carelessly.

So you needn't worry as the new changes in BK Disabler shouldn't affect you.
