I need help figuring out how to use the blackedout app for Gmail and other apps. I have the Samsung galaxy s10 plus with latest update and non rooted which is prefer to keep that way.
Anyone on here know how to install their apks? I downloaded a few and tried installing but it wouldn't work. I'd get an install failed message. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this combats my lack of substratum. Thank you.

That's because they are two different apks so you have to uninstall the already installed one to be able to install the modded one

In this case you can't, disabling a system apps such as Gmail will still refuse to overwrite with modified signatures.
You can do it with Youtube Vanced, it uses a different package name that doesn't interfere with the original Youtube, you need a similar solution for your other apps.

Yeah I figured out YouTube vanced and even GB insta for those too but for like Dropbox or Gmail Facebook Messenger etc I wonder if I'll have similar luck. How is aquamail? Is that a good email app I'm positive there's a skin or dark mode theme for that app as well maybe I can switch

Adb uninstalling doesn't uninstall anything, it's just a forced way to disable packages which works on system apps that have the greyed disable button, it won't help in this case.

Yeah brother no dice unfortunately I don't know how to get it working on my S10 Plus sadly, it would have been nice to use black versions of kik FB messenger and duo etc, if this actually was able to work it was a substratum killer in my book.

Have you tried sending a text with just the Crescent Moon emoji? It doesn't matter who you send it to. Your Messenger will then have dark mode in the settings.

Yup figured out how to fix messenger with the moon emoji. Not I gotta figure out the Gmail or another email app with a black theme and play store or duo etc I'm trying to darken most apps like substratum but I figured this blackedout apps may have been the solution but no dice.

Ever since updating my Nexus 5 to Android 5.0, I've found that you can't manage startup. I tried Clean Master, Autostarts, and Autorun Manager, but none of them works.
Please assist me in finding a solution. Thanks.
Anybody? Well, can the "Autorun" in the thread title be changed to "Startup" at least?

you can use app ops, the lastest version can do that
Do you mean the one by Lars Team? I just tried that, but disabling an autostart doesn't stick, it's enabled again when I recheck.

you can use this app to remove the permissions and it does not require root too..
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmail.heagoo.apkpermremover&hl=es_419
Does that manage startup entries? Doesn't look like it, and App Ops seem to manage permissions fine.
Greenify?

You can remove the unnecessary permissions like boot with the phone...
Greenify is an option, but I'd rather not depend on another running process... Oh well, have to make do with it for now.
Just tried APK Permission Remover. It requires you to uninstall, then reinstall the app. Too much trouble keeping up-to-date.
Simply deactivate the app.

you should just flash the pie patch via recovery, it solves a lot of the problems root apps have in lollipop, including the startup one

right now I am on the APCG firmware and I use the package disabler pro app to get the unpaid themes to stick. I was wondering if this method works on the AP14 firmware. I cant seem to find an answer being that all the threads with the package disabler pro app method haven't been posted in since august. NOTE: I'm not trying to steal any themes being that the theme I use isn't for purchase(trial only).
no input???
Doesn't work anymore
You have to clear data for each package you disable. It should still work. If you reboot you have to do it all over again
Since latest uldate you can clear cache but cant clear data no more. Really sucks.
I'm not rooted, probably the first device that I haven't rooted actually. Just seems like to many cons vs pros plus I don't have the time to figure out tweaks for the kernel.

the firmware I'm on now (APG1) if I reboot, I have to remember clear the data and cache via package disabler pro and it sticks. Which I'm ok with but I did know if that method still worked on the latest formware. I keep reading mixed results. That's why I am looking for some conformation from someone who gets the times to stick on the latest software. I like the batman theme which is unavailable or purchase otherwise I would just buy it.

SDP is pretty much useless now. I'd switch to EZ Disabler Pro and or the windows app from the link below.
Be very careful not to disable/freeze to much stuff this way if you find the apk route not working for you (just ota update packages and theme store if I were you) otherwise you could soft-brick your phone. Use EZ package disabler for everything else and don't forget to wipe the application's cache/data. EZ has option to clear all disabled packages (even those the app has hidden) and a lot of other features btw!

If you use those themes with the latest update it will cause serious issues with almost anything potentially.
If your rooted, use a file explorer and go into device/system/priv apps or apps i forget and click on the theme store apk folder and in the folder after the theme center write.bak example themecenterapk.bak and reboot. Do that for both theme store apks.
If u r rooted then there is a permanent way of doing it without disabling anything. PM if u wanna knw.

Hi,
for compatibility with other applications on the tablet I need to use the older version of Gmail.
I know where to download it.
But I do not know how to do it automatically has not updated to the latest version of Google Play.
The application can somehow separate from Google Play?

Yes you can sever the app from the Play Store by re-signing the app. I can do for you but, which version of Gmail do you want it done to?

You don't need to "re-sign" anything.
Download the apk from apkmirror. Uninstall Gmail, or if it's a system app go to settings- apps- Gmail and uninstall updates to replace with factory version your phone came with. Install Gmail version you downloaded. Immediately go into play store for Gmail, click 3 dots at top right and uncheck the box to auto update.
If anyone modifies an apk and gives it to you, I would not trust it. Could have a backdoor or keylogger or something.

Thanks for providing an alternative.
Though, I never stated that resigning it was the only way. I only knew that way and thought it was a simplistic way of doing it.
Now I know of another way.

Hello
I want to uninstall and remove and spotify app which came pre-installed with the phone. I am using S8 on Rogers network in Canada. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Have you tried disabling the apps you don't need? If you haven't, then long press on the shortcut and pick "app info". There you will find disable button(if not grayed out). That is the easiest way off turning off the app which won't show in your apps anymore, but it won't uninstall it.

Go to apps then click Spotify then click storage then clear data and cache.
If you want to remove the pre installed version you need to be rooted to remove system apps.
The all you have will be the same as the one pre installed. You can always download an updated version.

Not if its a hacked version of Spotify.
I see no reason why someone would disable the included Spotify app to load "their own version"
The included app can be updated right from the google play store, so there is no reason someone should be uninstalling it to install a .apk version.
I am on a Rogers S8, so I know this is true.

But the problem is - after doing this, the phone restarts and erase everything again and installs all the carrier apps. Is there anyway this can be stopped?

Check out this XDA article. It details instructions to remove apps/packages without root, using ADB. Be super careful doing this or using a package disabler app Like BK Package Disabler or Adhell (which is free)...if you disable the wrong system package you may end up disabling important functions/features.
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
What you can do is only disable it. That's what I'm doing with texture also and zone. Don't flash XAC if you are still a Rogers user you will loose wificall and Volte.
Only time you can remove it completely is to root. (Not available)
Or flash the XAC but modify the feature file in XAC to add the lines to enable wifi call and Volte. And again not possible cause there is no root yet.
So it takes you back to the 1rst and only option and don't try any even when they claim it uninstall without root(it does not work with Samsung phones )
Just disable it "I think you know how hold the app icon and you see a popup to disable"
If you rebooted the phone , app will not show to show it back enable it again .
When any app is disabled you can't download the app it will tell you it's available unless if it's a higher version.
So if for some reason you want to have a clone " exemple disable original Spotify to download a cracked ) use apk unpacker and change the signature name on the cracked apk.
