Hello,
I'm doing some tests, and during, i'm hooking the PackageManagerService.installPackageWithVerificationAndEncryption API
I'm preventing apps installation from Google Play, the only thing i can't find is how to remove the notification of "Package Name, installing "package Name"...
I guess i need to send some message or event, but i can't find which one...
Thanks in advance,

Limiting APK installs from any source sounds like a bad idea.

That notification is sent by the Play Store, so you'll probably want to hook the Play Store and stop it from sending it.

Are you running adfree or another ad-blocker?
I'd look at the Play Store for the apps you've installed. Look at the one-star reviews and see who *****ing about ads in the app.

You won't find one in the Play Store; Google did a "house cleaning" and pulled all of the ad blockers.
I'd recommend adfree at:
http://adfree.bigtincan.com/index.php
You'll have to manually install it, copying it to /system/apps, and ensure the permissions are set to 644 (rw, r, r).

i just tried two ad detectors(appbrain ad detector and trustgo ad detector) but they couldn't find any..
i'll look into your adfree app, thanks!
This annoying ads come from apps downloaded from untrusted sites or cracked apps, most of them are adware who pretend to offers you free apps when it really are virus.
I cannot seem to find some apps within /system/app. For instance, in the application manager there is "T-Mobile My Account" but I cannot find the apk with root explorer. Is there a new method they used to install apps as to not be easily removed? Does anyone know the apk name or location?
Did you check in /data/app? Tmo My Account is in Google Play so maybe its preinstalled as a removable app?
Just use titanium backup to freeze or uninstall them. And, yes I'd say they're hidden.
Yeah, Titanium. But I realized I believe its in /system/priv-app..
Thanks that was the location.
Another issue, whenever the play store is installing or uninstalling an app, the spen double tap to open s memo does not work. I have to have about 15 seconds after google play has finished installing and app before s memo is launched. Anyone know why this is?
Hmm, that might be a new one lol, but I just tried it, letting the store update some apps, and for me the double tap does open memo, but it is delayed by several seconds. Not sure why but maybe it has something to do with the system being mounted or busy or something?

So I got this little msg display on my phone today. Been trying to listen to iHeartRadio and it kept disconnecting. After I rebooted my N6, a msg popped up saying I will need Google Play Services, which apparently is not installed on my phone, in order to continue using apps. I have it installed and up to date. Anyone else experience this?

Try to clear cache on Play Store and Google Play Services. Settings/Apps/All

I went to the play store but didn't see an option of how to upgrade to the latest. How else can I do this?

Thank you kind sir! I appreciate that.
Hello, I manually installed an app apk from the developers website. The app is also on the play store, but was curious how this works.
How did google play know I stalled the app? How was the app updated without downloading it through the plays for? Is Google Play constantly scanning my phone?
Thanks!

If you didn't turn off auto update in Play settings then Google Play will update apps on its own.

Correct. I turned it off afterwards. But how did Google Play know I even had the app? I installed it manually via APK transfer from PC.

I do. I don't install many apps from other places except Apkmirror and Google is probably spying on me already. LOL spying on my phone would be one of the most boring jobs ever.
Hi !
I will receive soon a x90 pro plus.
I read all posts about debloating phone, I think it is a normal thing to do if you don't use apps.
But I wonder if using vivo app store is so bad. Somebody here uses this phone without Google play, only with vivo app store ?
Thanks
So, I understand now no English !

You can remove if you want, but the vivo store itself is pretty bad, and no english at all (or I don't know how to change it to english). However, if you remove it, you will likely lose the ability to install 3rd party apps (i.e, any apps outside of google play store or vivo store). Just think twice before disabling it. Of course, you can resintall that vivo store back using adb, so not a big deal here.

I did not touch it. So, no problem.
We find apps in english but I won't go further with that, no possibilities to make it usable like playstore with payment method ... etc.
Thanks !

It's just a mystery like the way X90PP with Snap 8 Gen2 still sucks tons of battery. They designed the vivo store app as a dogwatcher then they can observe what we install/uninstall on our phones. I just know that if you remove it, you cannot install any 3rd party apps anymore. Tested by myself and had to reinstall it back.

Which means the package installer is part of the Vivo Store app.
Try installing the Android Package Installer app and see if you can install apps without the Vivo Store app. Once package installer is installed, apps can be installed using any file manager that supports it or an apk installer like SAI.

Thanks, I'll check, but I guess it will end up being the same as some apps like sms and phone app. That means you need the original app to make it work.

Thinking about it, the package installer must be a system app. You won’t be able to install an app as a system app without root. Give it a try. May be it is just a question of enabling the default package installer which Vivo probably disabled in favour of their own Store app.
