So from what I read the devs removed "service disabler" function. What it's mean? the new update make the app useless? There's a lot of piss off people.
But more important if the app is now useless to disable services, and of what I read on xda, people ask for service disabler apps, and bk was recommended, what can we use now?
Does the new update kill the "Theme Service Disabler with Tasker + bk" method?
Thanks
Service disable means you still can use the apps but some services like getting location or pushing notification will not be started, because you disabled.
But now, this option will be removed, not sure if they will release the apps to somewhere.

I assume this means you can't disable any new services. All that I disabled prior to the update are still disabled. If I had read the update I wouldn't have updated the app.
I only purchased this app last month because package Disabler pro stopped working.
I wonder if that's the reason my screen off discharge rate went from 0.5% per hour to a little over 1% per hour now?

Regarding the wording, it is disabling packages, not services. In the app, I could not find services.
I think, all is well and drama not appropriate, but they should have worded it a lot more in detail.
You can disable any app you want, what you can not do now, is disabling individual services within the targeted app
After this same thing happened with Easy Disabler and Package disabler pro on the N7, I have disabled auto updating for BK since I installed it.

How do you disable updating for just this app? I disabled updates when the note 7 debacle, but all updates in general got disabled, btw, my note 7 works just fine, as day one

Just go to the BK play store page and uncheck auto-update. You need to disable the updates for both BK and the plugin.
My Note 7 was working great too but Verizon finally disabled my service which seems like some sort of violation to me. It didn't seem worth fighting them over it though.
Can one not download a previous version apk the version number before the current one, ?

Thank you all for the answers.

"Hello,
If you want to keep Service Disabler function, reinstall the old version of “BK Plugin 2” in the link below and turn off Google Play auto-update app. Thanks!"
Download link:

Hopping in the next update the devs will upload the apk with service disabler function outside the play store.
Not sure if it's to do with BK or the January update. But my screen off discharge rate has doubled from 0.5% to 1 % per hour recently.

I'm so glad that I never enable auto update in the Play Store. I read every what's new note prior to updating. Since I haven't updated BK & Plug-in it still works fine just as before. I just can't click update all in the Play Store now since these 2 apps are always in queue to update.

Which menu within this app allows me to disable system apps that are now not allowed?

SO I hope this isn't a noob question but I noticed it forces you to agree for the KLMS license in order to use. Is this an issue?
Whats the story with the KLMS Agent licence and relation to KNOX?
PS: I am trying to disable services so OTA updates don't happen while I use the note 8 for a while before I decide if I want to root it. Obviously I don't want updates to happen and prevent future rooting. If there is a better way than BK disabler I am open to suggestions...

BK Disabler - Services Removal Explanation
@Limeybastard
Which menu within this app allows me to disable system apps that are now not allowed?
There appears to be confusion regarding the changes.
Allow me to explain.
(I've also attached a screenshot to illustrate what is missing in the newer versions.)
With earlier versions of BK Disabler, you could disable ANY Service AND still run the Application.
This would be useful if you didn't want a specific Service to run alongside the Application (e.g., You are investigating a battery drain related to Google Play and found 'AppMeasurementReceiver' Service to be the culprit. You could disable that Service but still run the Application).
With the new version of BK Disabler, you can no longer disable Services; only Applications.
The ability to disable Services WITHOUT root is a powerful option BUT can cause stability issues if used carelessly.
So you needn't worry as the new changes in BK Disabler shouldn't affect you.

For those of you who prefer not to be sheep going to slaughter.
I unistalled google play services and that removed it from the phone. Not sure what else will be affected but I am still able to download/install apps from play store. I figure I may miss the next version of play store that comes out. Better than them sneaking stuff in. You may find the actual apk inside the google play directories. Please post if you do.
Also if anyone has ever figured out how to disable E911. If you dont want to disable yours that fine. STFU because your input is not needed ok. I dont want it on, period!!!
For the rest go ahead and follow the heard. [sheep noises....lol] !

Google Play Store and Goggle Play Services are not related. But it was a clever move with the names.
Google Play Services are the core to a host of future functions, especially to apps relating to social contacts, location related services and in particular (paid) games playing. Also, as many have detected already, with the 3. party sign-in control Google is able to watch and possibly control to whom and how you have contact with.
If you de-install Google Services, it will be auto re-installed in shortest time again in the backgound. If you happen to be on mobile data at that time, the bill is on you. If you disable or freeze Google Play Services, it will not be auto re-enabled. At least not as of now. But some functions of the phone and some Google apps like Hangout are made dependant on Goggle Play Services. So there function will cease.
More and more people are disgruntled about the way Google is doing things now. It is absolutely Googles own thing what apps they want to develop, and what functions they want to implement. But shoving down apps onto my property without my consent is not acceptable to me.
The people are not sheeps bcs they are forced to have things installed things they don't fully understand. I believe that many simply don't think twice, if something is (superficially) free, The strategies of companies like Goggle build on that fact.
Yep, it reinstalled. I will freeze it. But the sheep are the people that say one should accept it, or come back with tin foil comments etc. Those are sheep. I agree why force it on people? Esp from software the is supposed to be opensource. As one person posted somewhere it also redundant.
I know what you mean and I share your resentments. Albeit I fear there is nothing much we can do.
Google makes more and more Android functions depend on Google Play Service being on, and up to date. Just recently I registered that Calendar synchronisation now does not work with this "Services" disabled.
Unless someone makes a hacked version of that skunk.

Virtual SIM
Compass
Voice recorder
Weather

Thanks for the tip.
I run N 7.1.1 and use Tasker & BK disabler for force stop theme services.
Adhell can't run with BK disabler so the qustion is does adhell will break the Tasker & BK disabler method?
I thought to uninstall BK and install Adhell and stop theme service with it, without "touch" the Tasker & BK disabler method.
Sould it be enough for theme to stick?
someone could guide how to disable theme service with adhell and tasker or another method?
Hopping someone could help with it.

If I may post my opionion on this.
SABS or Adhell uses Knox to disable ads/services. BK disabler seems a bit overkill, meaning it's useless if you already have SABS or Adhell.
If I were you, I would stick to what I'm used to and works, Adhell in your case and just get rid of BK disabler. Even better, give SABS a try, I can help you get a version that works great on my Note 8 Oreo and also help you set it up. I am using it for the past 3 months, I have to renew my Samsung license in a few days, haven't had a problem with the app. I block services, packages, ads and some tracking websites and it just works.
Also, doesn't matter what you read, sometimes it's better if you just try and see for yourself what it works best.
For me, SABS is a good enough reason not to root my phone, and I have rooted all my Samsung phones so far.

This is getting annoyingly painful now..
I don't need another company with my data and Google has been fine for years for device backups..
This thing is still trying to backup data at 2am in the morning with all options unticked .. then as it can't do it..it leaves a message saying there is not enough storage..
I mean..all I want to do is turn it off.. but Sammy in thier wisdom won't let me do this..
Anyone else tried and getting this message..
I know I can possiblity use package disabler to kill this pest..but which is the actual app that is trying to do it and what else may it affect..
I kinda don't want to root the phone just to do this as I want to keep it secure for banking and payments..
But dam.. it shouldn't be so hard..
As a note: there is plenty of storage as I don't use it Samsung cloud for anything..
It is Samsung Cloud app and you can prevent it from a: sync b: disable autobackup for various folders.

Yes, thanks..
Been doing that.. only had notes sync..
Turned it off and will see how it goes..
Unfortunately 2 days later and it's back..
As per screenshot.. 2am ET has tried to call home.
Now a few things that is pissing me off.
1: I am not stupid and have a good grasp of what to look for and what to turn off to stop this happening.
So why have Samsung made this an auto turn on feature?
I have turned the settings off.
They have not asked for permission to turn it back on.
2: Samsung should NOT be forcing users of thier phones to backup to thier cloud.
If Google gets slammed billions in Europe for data collection.. I got a feeling Samsung is opening themselves up to the like.
So now, I can only see three ways to handle this.
Root and delete the app.
Kinda don't want to do that
Freeze it.
Via package disabler
Use a firewall.
Kinda defeats the purpose of having Knox and Google scanning your apps..means you are going to have have another app running all the time.. and really I don't want to be forced into using the McAfee
Really, I am the only one that is suffering this?
This is stock..8.1.0
Unrooted
ET wanting to turn itself on and call home is just not right..
Edits: using package disabler to freeze it..seems to work as gone into settings and backup and it's giving me no package available..so that's a work around..
But should not be that hard..
Been driving me nuts too. Have resorted to Package Disabler also.
Which package are you guys disabling?

I'm using a Note9 that's only a month old. The last 2 days, any app updates or new apps I'm trying to download get stuck at 99% (sometimes 100%). Things I've tried so far:
* Resetting the Play Store to default and deleting data/cache
* Wiping the cache of the whole phone
* Disabling the Google app (per suggestions I found elsewhere)
* Uninstalling Nova Launcher (per suggestions)
* Wiping the cache/data of the Download Manager
It's driving me up the wall. No idea what to try. Any advice?
This is the same issues I've been having, especially since updating to Android Pie. Only small fix I found was just closing all apps and run Device Care on a download, then it worked. I don't know if this is an actual fix though.

Only Google.
I'm experiencing this problem as well (Samsung Galaxy Note 10+). This started happening 2 days ago.
Also, another strange thing is happening: The Blue light filter, and Digital Wellbeing grayscale filter, are not starting/stopping at the correct times, they are delayed (sometimes by hours).
The worst part is, my previous phone (Galaxy Note 8) had the exact same issue(s). I endured it for a long time. I was excited to ditch the Note 8 for a phone that worked... Oh well
I generated a debug log, and I'm combing through it now. I don't understand everything I'm looking at.
Here are some attempted fixes, that did _not_ fix the issue on the Note 8:
* Clearing the Google Play store and services caches.
* Removing my Google account, then signing back in.
* Factory reset, then reinstalling everything from scratch. (The issue started happening again, within 1 day.)

I double-checked that apps were unable to update (Netflix was stuck at "77%"). I disabled the Google app, and restarted the phone. I left Google disabled.
... Netflix took longer to update (it stalled at "77%" again), but it did finish successfully. Now the other apps are downloading and installing! Nice. Hopefully this is a permanent (or at least reproducible) solution to the issue.
Do you know *why* the Google app would be interfering with app updates? I'm genuinely curious.

Did you find out what was causing this issue? I have had to disable my "google" app to allow updates. Are you using a s8 ? We should compare apps to see if something we have in common is causing this issue.

Yes i disabled it, but that must be related to another issue. my girlfriend has the same s8 and no issues. Must be related to multiple google accounts or something that differs from my phone to hers.
Perhaps fully off-topic or just the solution, did you disable or remove Chrome? I know my Note 9 shows similar behaviour when I debloat and remove Chrome. Once I updated the WebView app all runs fine. So I always update WebView before anything else. But then again I only notice this behaviour once I remove or disable Chrome browser.
