I wanted to try the software, but Fsecure detected the file as a virus. Maybe some potential dangerous libraries used in the package?
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 will try the zipped source too, and otherwise run it from a sandbox.
I'm not sure that it will work from sandbox. The program wait for a usb connection event to connect to device.

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!

strange, even on 1.7.1 it will not uninstall or disable com.huawei.parentcontrol on my Huawei... would be great if this could be rectified, thanks
 
ADB AppControl ??
Easy management of android applications with a user-friendly interface. Can do almost everything you dreamed about with applications.
A handy and free PC program that will allow you to easily manage applications on your android device using your PC and ADB. You can disable unnecessary pre-installed system applications and bloatware, or install new ones using a modern graphical interface. And even more - with each new update, more and more functions appear in the program! This is exactly tool that you will use for many years - after trying ADB AppControl you will see that working with ADB has never been so easy.

System requirements: Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and .NET Framework 4.6 or newer.
Works with any types of Andoird devices (smartphones, tablets, TVs, etc)!
Requires Android 7 or above.
I am working on Android 6 compatibility.

NO ROOT NEEDED!


Links and Manuals:

Quick start: Launch program, enable usb debugging on the your device and connect it by usb cable to PC. Click the Enable Network Debuging button (upper right corner) to connect to the device over the network.

User's Manual

Extended Version

Support the project


Important:

On PCs with Windows 7, if your device can not connect via usb, you need to install adb driver (I recomended to use my brand new Driver Installer)

Support device with android version below 7 may be limited.

To connect to the device by IP
, first connect it via usb to the program and click the Enable Network Debugging button.

When you connect the device for the first time, the program will prompt you to install the ACBridge application.
This is my service application for android to provide data exchange between the device and ADB AppControl on a PC. It must be installed in order to be able to display application icons and their names, instead of their packages names like com.android.app. You can also use the program without ACBridge, but you will lose some of the cool features (no icons and no application names). Now ACBridge comes with the main program, but in the future I plan to add it to the Play Market.

Le programme a une version étendue avec des fonctionnalités intéressantes.
Il a été créé spécialement pour les utilisateurs qui aiment le programme et qui souhaitent plus de fonctionnalités.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I would love to see a "partition explorer". Is this even possible?
I know, this is "App control", but you seem a wise developer. :)

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).

Hi,
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.

    Hi, it's the Windows application and I do not know cases of successful work on Linux. But I have plans to make an app for Linux.

    Hi, I have used it to remove Facebook it's working perfectly but after 3 weeks my phone restarted by itself and the app is back. Does anyone have an explanation of what's happening?
    Does it not uninstall the app permanently?
    There are a few components for Facebook that you need to remove. Basically, remove any app with Facebook in the file name. Usually there are 3 or 4. Major updates can reinstall apps. Just remove them again.

    Is it possible to fully remove without root?
    Yes. It was one of the first apps I removed with adb. I use Package Names to see what the apps are called that I want to remove and use adb's pm uninstall command to remove them.

    Hi, everyone!
    I continue to work on update 1.6.3 and has already made some important fixes.
    A new option will also be added - Accurate application sizes. Now ADB AppControl gets applications using adb shell dumpsys diskstats command. It does not always provide actual app sizes and may not work on some devices. Now it will be possible to get current sizes directly via acbridge.

    🚀 ADB AppControl 1.8.0 update
    Many fixes, including the scrcpy installation. A new Process Manager has been added. It shows the applications running on your device and their % RAM consumption. The Process Manager turned out even more interesting than I thought it would. While still in the development phase, I used it to detect and disable several background apps on my devices.


    Changelog:
    - Fixed scrcpy installation
    - Fixed bug with auto-permissions
    - Fixed a rare bug with device connection
    - Fixed problem with ACBridge installation on some devices
    - NEW! Process Manager (Extended version only)
    - In the preset file, the list of packages is now sorted


    As always, you can update from the program.

    🚀 ADB AppControl 1.8.3
    That's it! I know many have been waiting for this update to be able to easily connect to their devices wirelessly (hello smart watches!). You no longer need a cable to connect to Android 11+ devices, just pairing once and enabling wireless debugging. To make sure everything goes well, I have prepared a guide with pictures for you (almost a comic book).

    Screenshot 10-16-2023 15.04.32.png


    Quick Guide:
    On the device - developer options - wireless debugging (over Wi-Fi) - connect using code.
    In AppControl - click on the new button in the upper right corner and follow the instructions

    Changelog:
    - Adb and fastboot updated to 34.0.4
    - Added the pairing feature for devices with Android 11 and newer.
    - From now you can install multiple apk-file using "Quick Install" button by holding CTRL button (Extended).
    - Fixed the old bug with the search field.
    - Optimized the icons storage.
    - Other minor changes.


    As always, you can install the update from the application

    Dear friends!
    🌎 Today, the 1st year anniversary as ADB AppControl released on XDA.
    For me it became an important day, because it was August 15, 2020 an international release of ADB AppControl occurred, and I remember how excited I was that day. Development began in May 2020 and it was a small project for me and my friends from 4pda forum. But users really liked my program and I must had to share it with the whole world. I want to express gratitude to those who are all this time supported me - with your support we have this powerful and useful tool now.

    Also, thanks to the great XDA forum - you are awesome, guys!


    If you are interested, then under the spoiler you can look at the first versions of ADB AppControl.
    Sorry, that is not English, then I have not yet knew that thousands of people around the world will be used by my program.

    This is the 1.0 version. It doesn't look good, but it really works!

    In the 1.2 I improved the design and fixed some bugs (and added new)
    1_2_3-1.jpg
    1_2_3-2.jpg


    You are lucky, here on the XDA you immediately saw version 1.4 with icons and app names :)

    ext1.jpg


    Now we have the modern looking 1.6.5 version with useful Debloat Wizard and many other great features.
    2021-08-15_164953.jpg


    However, I don't plan on stopping. I will go further and make this tool even better. I have gained a lot of invaluable experience during this year and now I can do much more!

    I also made a Special Edition of ADB AppControl especially to the anniversary.
    This is the common 1.6.5 with a modified "retro" design. Just download the file, unzip and place .exe file in the folder with ADB AppControl 1.6.5. Run it and enjoy!

    2021-08-15_154936.jpg

    Thank you for using ADB AppControl!
    Respectfully,
    Cyber.Cat.
