Search for Titanium Backup in the Market. (I can't post a link yet)
A good starting point might be the spreadsheet that was created and placed on Google. It is for the SGS2 but alot of the apps have been identified and exist on the gNote as well..
Credit is listed in the spreadsheet "Contact Veyka on XDA for any updated/missing apps" and remember that it is for the SGS2. Maybe one can be created for the gNote if there isn't one already!
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...1gdDJRekl4QmkyNmIzUmRvX2h3UDVkQXc&output=html
I don't have all those apps but I have frozen everything in those lists that I do have. Zero issues.

Oops, I missed this and posted a similar thread yesterday.. For those of us who prefer to use pm disable, could the list be updated with the package names?
I'll make a list of a few obvious ones that I'm seeing in System Panel, easy to see the info there.
Tethering Manager - TetheringManager2.apk - com.tecace.tetheringmanager
AT&T Hot Spots - WISPr_55_Android22.apk - com.matchboxmobile.wisp
AT&T Ready 2 Go - dashconfig_v0.6.0_platform.apk - com.dashwire.config

AccuWeather - SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk - com.sec.android.widgetapp.weatherclock

I've been using Titanium Backup which doesn't list directly the package names. Gonna update the thread today with the package names I found and some new additions!. Thanks for the input Khaytsus! Clicked ur thanks button.
Freezing AT&T Smart Wi-Fi and AT&T Hot Spots made it so I can no longer connect to and authenticate at Hot Spots on AT&T's network (Starbucks, McDonalds, etc.)
Freezing AT&T Software Update made it so the Check for Updates section in settings doesn't work at all.

Awesome, that's good to hear. I'd greatly appreciate it if you can note which (the ones you remember) ones you've deleted or frozen.
I'd like to move some from the unknown list, over to the safe list.

Can you no longer log in using any method? Normally they have a sign in page. Can you not connect at all? Or are you just unable to browse or sign-in.
This is extremely valuable info buddy. Thank you.
why would at&t hot spots be on this list? yall really consider that bloatware? or maybe im the only one on a 3gig account

Does it fail in any horrible way, or just can't do anything in those settings? If it's gracefully failing, I'll freeze the Updates myself.

Considering you can get wifi almost anywhere, and I know of a lot more places with free wifi than "ATT Wifi", I personally don't care.

I've heard that unfreezing apps on the Note can lead to a problem referenced by a guy writing an app to freeze/unfreeze apps. I'll post a URL below, note I don't know the dev nor use his software, but came across it in another thread.
http://ramdroid.wordpress.com/2012/01/16/app-quarantine-solves-ebm-policy-issues-on-galaxy-note/
Anyone tried to unfreeze anything? I have not yet. Technically I'd use pm enable, but
I didn't get a chance to connect manually, but the attwifi SSID IS set to automatically connect, but it did not in any location. Also, after unfreezing AT&T Software Update, I'm now getting a "DM initialization is not ready. Check network or SIM card." error. I still cannot check for updates.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that after unfreezing AT&T Hot Spots, I can once again automatically connect. Although AT&T Smart WiFi is nowhere to be found. I didn't uninstall anything, just froze them. I also don't see it in my backups...it may be possible this apk never existed and I'm just imagining things.
EDIT 2: I pulled the battery and when I booted up again, the phone showed the same little logo in the notification bar as when it was first being activated and afterward I was able to check for updates with no issues.

I've seen this behavior as well. Even after Un-installing it, Smart Wi-Fi messages notifying me that i connected to a new network hung around in the notification area. That's what prompted me to delete it. I don't need AT&T collecting data on what Wi-Fi access points I've been connecting to. I only trust Google with that type of info.
Granted, they could probably get my location info from my phone if they really wanted...but they'd have to take an interest in me first. Installing an app on my phone without my permission, and then collecting passwords and other information blatantly...again without my permission is breaking criminal if you ask me. The average user isnt going to notice this...it'll stay on their device for the lifetime if the phone.
This is a huge privacy issue.
But in regards to the app...you can still use att Wi-Fi at those places...most of them are free.
But there are a few select places and situations that you might benefit from keeping the app around for, a few places that have attention Wi-Fi require club memberships or gift cards. Either way...at free or pay locations its basically a express sign in.
Is there any upside or downside to "delete" or "freeze" bloatware via Titanium Backup? I usually freeze them just incase i delete something i shouldn't have

Hi people!
I recently rooted my grand prime and i want to share the modifications and tweaks that you can apply to your phone.
Mine is the G530FZ, but these can be applied to any grand prime, since this settings are generic even to other phones.
I am very interested in improve the privacy and the functionality of my phone, and some settings don't need root, but im going to share with you anyway since improves your privacy.
HOPE YOU LIKE IT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enable Dev Options:
Go to About this device, Compilation number and press it repeatedly until it says "Now you are a developer!"
Go back, developer options and tick USB Debugging to enable ADB over USB
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I installed Busybox, using Smart Install (Safest), this is important for most of tweaks.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I disabled KNOX, SAMSUNG SUPPORT TOOL and bloats like:
-Play Music
-Play Kiosk
-Play Videos
-Drive
-Samsung Billing
-Play Games
-Galaxy Apps
-Google+
-Samsung Account
-Chrome
And some replaced by:
-Apollo
-FBReader
-MXPlayer
-
-
-
-FDroid (Open Source App Market, your privacy want Open Source!)
-
-
-Firefox
To disable knox and support tool connect your phone through adb or use the terminal emulator and type:
su
pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid
pm disable com.rsupport.rs.activity.rsupport.aas2
The other apps can be disabled through settings/Application Manager.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I installed Xposed Framework, and then this plugins:
-The POWERFUL GravityBox [KK] (Interface and usability tweaks)
-XPrivacy (A privacy manager that lets you choose what information can be read by an application, asking you when the application tries to read something like contacts, use superuser, read messages and so on.)
-XPrivacy in App Info (Injects the XPrivacy settings in app info for the selected app)
-XHalo Floating Windows (Something like a window manager, lets you use apps in the way of windows or anything like that)
-Call Blacklist Pro (The name says all)
-App settings (To fix issues with the dpi change, I will explain it later)
-Xposed Preference Injector (To inject xposed plugins settings on the settings app)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To control what applications connect though WIFI and what though 3G I used AFWall+, and configured it like that:
Mode: Black list (Block Selected) --> This can be done pressing the message that says: Mode: White list (Allow Selected)
On Options/Preferences/UI Preferences I unchecked LAN Control.
Then you can check the apps you want on WIFI, on 3G, on none of that, or unchecked for WIFI and 3G
The first time you need to go to Options/Enable Firewall, and every time you modify the settings press Options/Apply.
Is useful if you have a Bank application and you are afraid about ARP Poisoning on WIFI (Man in the middle) or things like that and you often connect to public WIFI's. You can block WIFI for this app, and let only connect trough 3G.
Or you can block data hungry apps to work only on wifi and mantain your 3G data usage on acceptable limits.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I installed
-Performance Control (The performance app on AOKP I think o.o')
With this app i changed the DPI using the build.prop editor on the last tab, and changed ro.sf.lcd_density to 190
Then you need to use Xposed App Settings plugin to set the DPI's of this apps to 240, because are made to this DPI's and looks ugly, and some even not work:
-Camera
-Contacts
If you have any other app looking ugly after DPI change, use this fix, and tell us here
Also the pin numbers on lockscreen will move to the left, but it works, and if you change the DPI's of com.android.systemui the status bar and the notification bar will look fat... (o-__-O)
Don't change cpu settings, i did that and look that does nothing... XD
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, I am afraid about predictive keyboards and where they send what they predict, so I installed the only Open Source keyboard I found really useful:
-AnySoftKeyboard
It can be installed from FDroid or Google Play, I think that the google play edition updates often
Play a little bit with the settings to get your keyboard of choice, it can be tricky at first.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are really conscious about your privacy, you can search for the dev reports that apps send to the developers without your consent and disable it, if you don't care about that, this reports can be useful to some devs
And last, and the most conspiranoic app here:
-Android IMSI catcher
This app theorically warns you about IMSI stations near you. This stations are fake GSM antennaes with encryption disabled to hear what you hear and read what you send, explaining it quickly.
I don't know if this app really works, but if it works, and you have spyes around you, tell me if it works ;D
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry if i wrote something wrong, I'm don't speak english on my country, I only know the english I learned from series, games and documentation
If you need some screenshots for any explained here, tell me
Cheers!

Try Wipe Cache from recovery..if does not works, download stock rom matching ur phon csc and rom version from sammobile .. then flash it through odin, then re root... make sure this time u flash those two files with method exactly as suggested in the root post.if u get boot into recovery prob again then make sure wipe cache n then reboot.

@kentone, which method of rooting did you use?
Is it then KingUser or SuperSU?
Maybe you could throw a link to rooting manual?
one thing I'm happy about is using Greenify and Clean master to hibernate and block apps from autostarting, it leaves me with 320-380 mb free RAM most of the time, however if u add whatsapp and chat apps, you wont get notifications till you open the application which I personally prefer it to be like this.
I rooted with odin method, i have the reboot to recovery bug, but is not a problem for me, this is my 'production' phone and i will not touch it so much until we have cyanogenmod or something. Or when we know why the reboot to recovery bug appears o.o'
Sent from my SM-G530FZ using XDA Free mobile app
About greenify and clean master, throw clean master away and dont hibernate the apps with notifications like IM apps XD if you want more ram download kernel adiutor and put the memory preset on ''agressive'' or one level down that! Dont touch the cpu settings, it does nothing with this samsung rom u.u'

@kentone what if I dont disable the knox ? or what if it tripped ? what are the side effects ? and what is the purpose of knox? sorry I dont know that , and thanks in advance for your answer , I hope you will answer my question
In gravity box, cant able to change signal cluster look. Cant add day of week to status bar tweaks. Help me please. I have selected lollipop icons but they are not changing. I also tried reboot.
Amazing things you can do after rooting
Yeah but there are lot more benefits of rooting even though there are certain risks , . Most amazing benefit I think is we can remove bloatware and also block ads which is brainstorming though there are still deelopments going on in that field. Have you tried adblocker Browser??

Great app. Works well. Please add multiple apps support. Thanks.
I was using this module without any issues until I rebuilt my phone using the exact same ROM I was using previously.
However, after rebuild I could not get this module to work at all.
I've removed it and re-installed it multiple times and the exact same configuration I was using before hand now has no effect whatsoever.
Any ideas what could be wrong?
There isn't much info about this module but I'd love to know how it works to check if it is actually applying the settings it is supposed to or not.
I've checked iptables and it makes no changes to them at all when I turn the settings on or off but I don't think it is using them anyway.
I am using one application which force me to turn my data connection to continue with that app. I am on WiFi and have no Sim Card on my device (so no possibility to have real data connection)
I need some thing which can make fool that app that my android is on Data connection instead of WIFI.
Please help me. Thank you.
(Made ton of search on Google and on the forum, without success...
Seen a lot of demand for the exact opposite though)

Huge tanks for your time. Haven't tested the app because unfortunately I can't get more than the version 87 of Xposed and this app requires the version 90
However, still huge thanks, and if you are able to make it fonctionnal with Xposed 87, it would be really awesome.
Still thank you, and have a nice day

Sure.. here you go.
What is the app you are trying to use called?
Thanks a lot, however :
With my android 7 phone, the app can be installed but not running at all, with any activity shown by Titanium backup or in ram activities (work with xposed though)
In Nox Android 5.1.1, the app can't be installed (nox is the main thing i use, the phone is here in order to test)
With all my gratitude for your efforts and time, with the hope (if it's not too much to ask), you can fix that
(And it's an app that show content only when connected with a 4g or data connection)

It will be easier to fix if I know that app's name.. there are a few ways for app to recognize data connection and I implemented one way.
Replied by dm
Try this. It should work for Android 4+.
Keep in mind there is no activity for this, it's just an xposed module.. you won't see any icon for it and don't need to open it, just enable it in xposed.
Great thank you, it's installed with the test phone, and ticked on Xposed
But, with Nox with Android 5.1.1, still the same issue
I tried my best to find solutions by myself, and here is what I did
- > Tried to install normaly : Don't Work (app can't be installed)
- > Tried with lucky patcher (on a copy of a clean device) : Still don't work, with the message -> PM Error Failure Install Parse Failed No Certificates and the app was NEVER installed before (was a clean device)
- > Tried to install as a system app with Lucky Patcher : Work, but App not showing in Xposed or any App List (so don't work)
- > Tried to install a backup from my phone where the app was working : No Success
What can I do ? Thanks for your time

Here is the apk signed compatible with android 5.
The app is installed with Nox and the issue is not showing
And wanted to wait longer to tell you if all will still be okay but seems to work really good
Huge thanks, once again
I'm sure that I won't be the only one interested by what you just made
Thank you
Nice app @firefds
It is possible to create version for XposedBridge 54?
Thanks

It will be easier to fix if I know that app's name.. there are a few ways for app to recognize data connection and I implemented one way.

Hey, I am sorry if I am bothering but i would really be grateful if you could helpl me with this. I have an app that does not run unless it detects data connection instead of wifi.
My question is can I use your module using virtual xposed? if yes, could you guide me through it? thank you

Hi. Have you got a similar app that works the other way around? One that fakes mobile data as a wifi connection? I'm on Android 11.
Old thread but same problem. I have an application that simply will not work on any device that does not or cannot have a mobile data connection. This app believes any of those devices are considered an emulator and therefore will not work on said device. I need to trick this application into thinking Wi-Fi is either mobile data or I need a way for the app to think mobile data is being used. I am using this application on Android 9, or rather lineage OS 16. I have come close to tricking it using several of the apks provided in this thread, but none of them seem to do the trick for a long enough time. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Using Xposed (Lsposed) zygote. And with the latest magisk.
Any one find similar app for ATV Box 9.0, please?
@firefds I can't make ICICI Pockets app work without mobile data connection using the apks attached here. Maybe an update is necessary? I am using Magisk Delta with MagiskHide enabled to hide root from the app, Zygisk is disabled and so using Riru variant of latest LSPosed. Any help would be much appreciated. TIA.
Edit: The app worked after using a VPN but like Wifi it detected VPN use and displayed a warning so maybe in the future they will block this workaround. It would be great if mobile data can be faked.
Edit2: The app seems to work in Wifi directly without resorting to the use of VPN. The app is so riddled with bugs that it's hard to say anything with certainty.
There used to be an module called "Anynet" and it used to do same.. Maybe OP can make a module like that for all of us
On my old phone android 5.1.1 blokada worked really well, basically not a single ad.
Now, with new android and new blokada, I have permanent ads all over the place and I am continuosly harrased by other "free" functions blokada installs without asking .
I can not even switch their vpn off!
What is the best ad blocker now?
I mean an adblocker, that will block ads, and that is it. If I want anything else, I will look for it.
I do NOT mean an ad blocker that works with the browser. I basically never use the browser on the phone. I am talking about ads from apps..
Thank You
This sounds odd, im using blokada 5 with default Block lists this App does not install additional Apps at all. Make sure to download from Official Site blokada.org also don't use the downgraded Slim Version. U add more Block Lists in Settings when default not enough.

I will try it... but I really resent renting some software for $ 24 a year.
That is what I pay for my VPN, because that causes them expenses to run it.

Adaway needs root, and for some strange reason Technolobe's instructions on YouTube will not work on my Redme9T

I am rooted and do use the rooted host file.
The VPN option does not require root. I cannot tell how well it works, no experience with it.

Why don't you use Blokada 4. I use it and it works well for me. Just sometimes after switching on the device it keeps on saying 'please wait' but after switching off the vpn and switching on again it works perfectly.

You don't pay anything to use their DNS servers. Just configure the DNS IP in your network setings - no need for any software. The IP is in the link I gave.

Todey's "quality" of Blokada is why I asked this question. But of course in one sense you are correct. In Android 5.1.1 it worked perfectly, in Androids 10, 11, 12 it no longer does.
Actually I do not know, if it is Android, it might be the MIUI.
I can see the "progress" the updates deliver in so many places... My Camera f.e. demands access to the microphone when I want to take pictures! It will not let me take photographs without access to the mic....
I have become such a fan of how digitalisation has made this world so much better and more intelligent.

Thanks, Under "Modify Network" the phone only offers to switch between "Use randomised MAC" and "Use device MAC", the latter is set as default
After a while of trying out I managed to get to the DNS servers, where I saw that DNS1 is my IP adress and DNS2 is 8.8.4.4
In adguard's instructions it mentions two values, 94.140.14.14, 94.140.15.15, but it does not say if I use one of those in both or if the first one is DNS1 aand the other one is DNS2....?
Also: My phone is set to: Data only via WIFI, never through SIM. The ads I am talking about usually appear without the WIFI switched on and cannot come in via simcard. They appear f.e. on the HF Onkyo Flac Music player, which is the identical version and installation as on my old Android 5.1.1 phone, where NO ads appear...
But I will try the DNS change, if you tell me which one to put into 1 and into 2...

Use 94.140.14.14 in DNS1 and 94.140.15.15 in DNS2. It is unusual to have your IP in a DNS setting.
The ads are probably cached on your phone. You may need to clear both DNS cache and the app cache after updating DNS. Turning WiFi off and on may clear the DNS cache, if you can find no other way to clear it.

Well. I am afraid it did not work.
Everything has been reset after the phone re-start. Static is back to dynamic IP and the Ips are back to the old ones...
