After the Oreo update, this app was disabled by default. What is the use of App Box?!
It's just an app that brings up links for downloading other apps. Ads !

Here im brazil smartphones brands receive a little less taxation if they include brazilian made app store or apps...
So you going to find this in probraly every brand(LG, Samsung etc) , just disable it and its all right.

Is an app where the carriers can send specific apps to your phone, if u have a TMO sim, when u out in your phone the appbox app will download the TMO apps.

All,
Here is a copy of the Samsung Apps APK that I have modified to remove the touchwiz requirement. Just download and install. This should provide the Samsung App store to custom roms/GPE edition roms on your devices.
YMMV, but this works perfectly on my device.

If this works for you, hit the thanks button!
Just to be clear, will this fix the notification problems ( such as notifications for hangouts, text messaging, gmail, etc.) that are found in non TouchWiz roms? Thanks and happy new year!

This is simply the "Samsung Apps" application that gear manager wants to install apps through. I'm still working on the rest
Ok cool, thanks for your work!

What exactly was done ? Was the framework removed from the android-manifest file ?
I've installed it on nexus5, but it says country/device not supported. Does buildprop edit make a difference?

Yes. I removed the tw framework from the manifest for this apk, rebuilt and resigned using a development key.
It's not that simple for the rest of the gear stuff, unfortunately. :/

Since I don't have such a device to test on, you might give it a shot after making a backup of your current build.prop file.

From Motomaker? Sounds fishy. I added a screenshot so you can see it. It doesn't appear in the app drawer, only as a system app, so it's not really rooted. Just the app is installed.

People do send back motomaker phones... What do you think motorola does with them? Again, I'd call them. SuperSU most definitely should not be preinstalled.

Sells them as refurbs, since you can't (legally) sell a phone as new if it's been in the hands of an end user.

Don't forget Motorola is a Chinese company now, and there is no illegal thing there. Everything is legal.:laugh:
Did it come with Kit Kat or Lollipop out of the box? I got mine yesterday and it was still Kit Kat and a friend got his Monday, also Kit Kat. Both MotoMaker Pure Editions.
It came with KitKat out of the box. It also auto update itself after a factory reset. I don't care that it's there, I just thought it was strange. I went ahead and rooted it anyway, so it doesn't matter anymore.

The place where he posted the screenshot from does not just show system apps. OP, are you able to uninstall the app through Settings -> Apps? That would tell you if it was installed as a system app or not.

No I was not. The uninstall option was not available. That's how I knew it was a system app.
Well, my concern then would be what someone could have done with root access. In theory they could have installed other applications, like potentially a keylogger.
I personally would get a replacement if my phone was really rooted when I received it.

I never said it was rooted, only that SuperSU was already installed. Anyone can install SuperSU from the Play Store, but it's useless without the SuperSU binary that goes along with it. I just thought it was an intersting find.

Not as a system app they can't. The phone either had to have been rooted at some point or it was flashed from a custom recovery. You can't install an app from the play store as a system app without root.

Right, this is what I meant. If it's installed as a system app then it is clear evidence that someone modified the system partition on your phone. That would concern me, personally.

For the most part Yes. I just selected the option to disable all bloatware and then customized. For the first yesterday since getting the phone I didn't have to charge it at work.
Is the one-click bloat removal any good? I've been using Titanium Backup and just freezing/removing apps...

anything labeled sprint you can long press on and uninstall, or within apps. if it doesn't have an uninstall option, ignore it.

Hi, thanks. I'd already on the same day of receiving the Sprint bloatware deleted all the apps that I could via uninstall. However, I'd like to know which other apps can be safely disabled, and more importantly are there any services or packages that don't use the words "Sprint" that may not be immediately visible to disable.

look in apps, do you see anything called sprint app pack or appcloud NOT SAMSUNG CLOUD. do you see appstack in apps. rid app pack or appstack. thats a good point to relax after that. do not DISABLE any other sprint app that only has disable or enable. also lookout can be disabled along with fb instagram and messenger. NOT the message app.
These are all packages and process with the word Sprint in them. Anything that doesn't have the word Sprint in them that I should be looking for.? I did see lookout bloat which I've already disabled.

Samsung Package Disabler is a dream.
Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good replacement contact/dialler app for the phone.
I've testing the following but still undecided. The app must support the following
dual sim (prefably also support different ringtones per sim),
must allow ad-free at reasonable price,
must work independently of stock dialler and on a stock unrooted rom.
Must work with smart view case
Has continuing development
Slowly narrowed it down to following choices (no specific order), but has anyone used theses and if so can you provide feedback on then and whether or not the paid services are worth it.
Simpler
Contacts+:
Truecaller:
Drupe:
CallApp:
Thanks
Google's one works pretty well, but usually requires root to work.
I remember Truecaller being handy due to its spam protection. It was also fairly clean.
Don't forget to get a call recorder. They're good for customer service calls. Etc in case you forgot some detail or need to cover your ass. ACR is good for that with Dropbox sync.
