Hi. I am planning to purchase the PRO key for Titanium Backup but I need to understand some things better before I buy:
1. Will the pro key allow me to restore the apps and link them to the Market? (Meaning they will show up in "My apps" section in Google Play Store and I will be able to update them as usual, they would act as I have downloaded them from the store)
2. Referring to the above question, is it only possible with the PRO key? What will happen if I restore with the free app? Nothing will show up in "My Apps" section in Google Play Store?
3. After I backup, should I leave the backup on the device?
Also, for some reason Adaway doesn't block all the ads (I am not sure it even block ads). Is there any tutorial to use it? I have downloaded the latest hosts file from the app itself.
Thanks!
1 yes
2 with the free version you'll have to hit the install button for every app. I recommend getting the pro version it will give you more options
3 leave the backup on your phone
Google removed ad blocking apps from the market

Okay so just to be sure, restoring with the PRO key is just like downloading directly from the store?
And about AdAway, I installed the apk but it doesn't block certain apps. Is there something I can do to make it block all ads?

For me I don't get any ads over Wifi but I get them while on Mobile data. It's quite annoying because I'm not really used to them since adblock seemed to work fine on my HD2 and even on this phone on 4.2.1 stock rooted.
I think I accidentally downloaded a hosts file to data/data/hosts. How can I revert this (if I should)?
For adblocking, I often use firewall to block internet connections (wifi/data) of the applications, and also using a hosts file, too. It works

I only tried with youtube, these other apps I dont will use and dont try with these. and I uninstalled it, these apps appears like youtube app in titanium backup
edit: I tried install google voice and google earth and no problem for me
I had a same problem on my Nexus S, what I did was, I navigated to /system/app/ folder on my phone with ES File Explorer, found the YouTube.apk and reinstalled it from there!
PS. Android Market and my phone showed the application as installed, and all options were greyed out (Open, Install, Uninstall)!
I fixed it with ep file explorer. Fix the youtube app
But still have problems with voice recorder thinkfree office and others that wont install and show up in my menu.

My odd solution:
-Download GApps from Rom Manager...or wherever
-Flash GApps via recovery
-Reboot (Still no YouTube...)
-Go to Market
-Re-install Youtube from Market
When my YouTube "disappeared", it "appeared" in the Market as installed but the Open and Unistall buttons were greyed out. The icon in the drawer and the widget option were both gone.
I don't have that Think Free Office icon either in the apps drawer, but the TFO is installed in my phone. I was little bit confused about that thing, but now I see it's a common issue...?
I find it in xoom forum,thought it might help
If you have had a problem with the missing YouTube and/or Google Books applications, we have a workaround you can try.
Connect to WiFi network. (So far it looks like only WiFi Xooms have had this issue. Let me know if you have this on a Verizon Xoom.)
Go into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications
Go to the "All" tab and then scroll down and select "Google Partner Setup."
Clear Data.
Reboot your Xoom. (That is, turn it off and on.)
If this doesn't work, perform a factory reset (Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset) and try the sequence above again.
Please let me know how if this works for you.

Hi,
Did someone tried to modified host file to block ads in TF.
I tried, but for some reason it blocks every website not only ads.
I tried to use http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt
I guess the syntax for host file in honeycomb and windows is different.
Anyone know how to make it work?
I tried adfree in market and it does the same thing: block every thing.
thank.
i have adfree and it works just fine.

+1 for AdFree, easier than manually editing the hosts file.
I use Absolute System tools. It has other goodies too.

Does Adfree only block the in-app adbars, or will it work like AdBlock+ and 'fix' webpages in the stock browser, too? I haven't rooted, but this might convince me...
adfree blocks the source of the ad, so depending on where the ads are coming from, they will simply not show.
let's say you have an app that grabs it's ad from www.example.com or 123.345.232.1, and adblock blocks those ips, whenever your app tries to load ads from those place, nothing will happen, and your app will simply think you're offline.
same goes for browser ads. as long as the source is blocked, then the loading of those ads will fail.
Can we start generating a safe to disable list for the Nexus 10? Or I suppose, a consequences of disabling list would be more appropriate.
I've seen lists for other devices, but usually the lists are filled with manufacturer installed bloatware.
I have disabled Currents, Google Search, and Google+ with no noticeable problems.
I've done youtube, talk, maps, google+, google play movies/magazines/books/music, earth, currents, and exchange services. The strange thing is, some of the start-up processes for these apps are still running. I want to disable NFC and Wallet, but I a few folks mentioned something about corrupting their NFC chip (on other devices), so I'm a little concerned.
If you're rooted, use Titanium Backup to "freeze" them, then they can't start services.
If you don't want to buy titanium backup, and you're rooted, just use a file explorer to rename or delete them in /system/apps

Great, I purchased titanium backup a while ago, but didn't realize that freeze was different than disable in the settings/app menu. Thanks for the info.

I don't think there's a difference between the two
Except not everything you can disable in settings/apps,TB you can freeze anything
But freeze/disable has same effect
Hi
After updating to 4.1.2, I got a "Samsung Mobile" folder in mobile bookmarks in Chrome.
Anyone know how to delete that?
I dont get the delete option when I hold on the folder.
Phone is not rooted.
Me too, bloody annoying!
You could remove it with titanium backup and then install from the market.

Phone is not rooted, and will not be. (Company phone with software installed to check for root)
Chrome is already installed from the market.
I'm wondering how Samsung is allowed to make permanently active bookmarks in a 3rd party program.
There must be a way round it, i tried deleting cashe and app data, uninstalled updated but nothing removes it without rooting!
I cant believe samsung has done this! very annoying it pop ups when i want to access my bookmarks
The answer is here:

View the applications in Settings/Application Manager/All. Best viewed in landscape to see the full application name.

It's a system app in 4.1.2. It's called chromewithbrowser.apk in the system folder. Then it updates from the market just like Gmail, maps etc.

I need to install the DJI Go app in order to use my gimbal but it asks for ridiculous permissions like being able to make calls and even reroute calls in addition to harvesting my contacts. Since there's no alternative app I need to use DJI Go, but I want to block it's access to my data. I've looked for permission blocking apps and found a few but they're very old and don't work on Android 7.
I have root access on my Google Pixel, is there any app, from the Play Store or elsewhere that will block permissions on an app by app basis?

Greetings and welcome to assist. There are several apps that allow you to restrict permissions but they all require root, my favourite is app settings but it requires xposed. You can find it here

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately xposed doesn't run on Android 7 yet. Can you recommend any that don't require xposed?
Why dont you just go to settings - apps - gear wheel - app permissions and tun off all the permissions that you feel are useless for that app?

You could try this

but you should be able to turn off a lot of permissions in your settings anyway

Hi, VonMoltke...
As has already been alluded to, go to...
Android Settings>>Apps
...scroll down and locate the app in question and disable whatever permissions you find onerous.
You don't need root for this, or the need to install any special app.
--------------
See the attached screenshot of the official Twitter app, and it's associated (toggle-able) permissions as an example of what I'm getting at.
Hope this helps.
Rgrds,
Ged.

Yes, that works, thanks. I was hoping to use something like XPrivacy that can feed fake data to the app in case denying permissions causes the app to force close. In this case, just turning off the onerous permissions seems to be sufficient.
The problem with using Android settings is it does not include all the permissions. It's like they added these settings to make people feel like they have control over permissions but the most evasive permissions are unable to be blocked. Frustrating.
