Does anyone know what package disablers work with the Note 9, it's been a year a so since I was with Samsung and package disabler appears to have disappeared from the Play Store.
Can I get it somewhere else? does it work with the Note 9?
It works but it also gets removed from Play Store periodically then it gets reinstated. People who purchased it its earlier reincarnations need to purchase it again, assuming they need to reinstall, if more than 6 months have passed. Needless to say a lot people feel peeved off (and rightly so) by the developer's attitude.

I had a look around at these but then opted to try the ADB route instead. There are various threads around on what to disable and it's pretty straightforward to do. I also wonder if just disabling the app via settings is similar or good enough. Haven't found enough info so far to confirm, but have disabled some apps this way too.
Is the ADB method the same as on an LG phone? E.g. pm uninstall -k --.......

Not sure about ADB, only time I've used ADB is for flashing recovery, I wouldn't know where to start.
I've disabled everything I can manually, although there are a few not sure about, after checking the play store via chrome package disabler pro is still available but not for the Note 9, annoying because I'm pretty sure I have the Pro version.
Also somewhat unrelated, why does the software on the Note 9 have such difficulty closing down background apps? even when you explicitly selected them to not run in the background, an hour or so later it's still active and using battery. :silly:

I know this is the US Play store,but,perhaps it'll re-direct to what you need:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpremium&hl=en_US
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.powermanager.batteryaddon&hl=en_US
Only thing that works for me is if you do it through adb.

I don't know. I got everythjng through mail: a download link and a code to activate the app.
Maybe try and contact them?
Just in case someone needs the full tutorial for using ADB to uninstall a system app,check this link:
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
If you're not familiar with it,it's worth your while to read everything.
It's not complicated if you're used to using command prompts/ADB,however,be warned that if you delete,it's actually just hidden from the user,but,once you do this,it can't be recovered/accessed/re-installed unless you factory reset (less root access,of course).
The article/tutorial states as much,but,we're all human & at times,TLDR.......... :good:

Adhell 3 has a package disabler. It works. Google "adhell 3 reddit" and you can find links to download the APKs. Then you'll have to go to samsung developer site and generate a knox developer key to plug into your copy of adhell 3.

I have been seeing that apps like Package Disabler have been struggling to get around disabling packages with latest updates from samsung. Many users on the Play store keep complaining it doesn't work. Will the latest software of Note 8 work with package disabling? What about AdHell? is it as good a disabler like Package and BK?

Yes there are a few different apps for remapping the Bixby key or if you root you can do it yourself manually too.
Check in the s8 themes and apps section on XDA or just wait and they'll come to this one too.
However I like Bixby, it's quite helpful and saves me time

I'm not planning on rooting, just disabling any unnecessary packages. I'm pretty happy with the Google assistant, and think that's likely to be superior to Bixby.

package disable doesnt work all the time. Its a known fact.
Samsung has told the dev to change some thing so it doesnt work.
I had it install on my phone and work great. Then one day i went to add another app to the list and the program wouldnt load.
So i uninstalled it and reinstalled it. Then got an error 102. Contacted the dev and he said it was samsungs fault and if im getting that error to uninstall and ask for a refund.
So with all that being said i doubt it will work on the note 8. I hope it does since i like to block ota updates but we will see what happens.

Curious what phone your currently using. My co worker just got the S8 and contacted the dev. The dev replied almost immediately with a link to the newest version that was not fully released yet. He hasn't had a problem since. That was this past week.
PDP Pro is working fine on my Note 4. That is an older phone that is on Marshmallow. It works well. I took a look at what was installed on the Verizon variant when I was in the Verizon store today and there was not much on it. Much, much less than what they installed on my Note 4. Does anyone know if they just put less on the model phones in the stores, or will there really be that little junk on the phone?

Tmobile s8+ The dev email me back within 5 mins and said if i got that error to ask for a refund and it wouldnt work. This was about 2 weeks ago.
But as said the app work when i first got my s8+ and installed it. but then i went to open it and it didnt open so uninstalled and reinstalled and it didnt work any more.
I'm sure they will work, some work better then others. the Bixby button is something that a lot of people don't really care for so if there is a way to remap/disable it, a post will be up fairly quick.

Sorry, can't agree with this. Their decision to side with Samsung on this was good business sense. Had any customer using it been "lit up" by a faulty battery while the installation of the update was blocked by PD, they'd have been wide open to a lawsuit regardless of what the license agreement said.

i agree that this is the case but all the same i remember when it happened and was annoyed - i planned, as i have done, to use the note 7 for as long as i could and i was incensed at the attempts to hobble it and end those plans prematurely.
luckily i dodged this (and the others) and got a lot of good use out of it as a tablet. it totally rocked as a backup telecommute device or when on the go. the s-pen is what makes it work. remote desktop on windows 10 is actually pretty functional for coding. and this is a phone i just sold for $380. i can't complain about how it ended up but, yeah, i was a bit upset that these devs were assisting the attempts to hobble it.
i can't wait to try to work using the note 8. i checked one out in best buy yesterday and, tho intimidated by the size (that sounds wrong), i have high hopes for how it will perform as a telecommuting device.
With my Note 7 and its inferior replacement, the S7E, Verizon had loaded both phones up with a plethora of bloatware. On top of what was preinstalled, I'd constantly find new apps magically appearing every so often.
I subsequently learned that the spontaneous new apps were installed without my permission by DT Ignite, malware (IMO) pre-installed by Verizon. Once that was disabled, things quieted down.
My Note 8 that arrived yesterday had far fewer initial crapware games and apps, and I can't find any evidence of DT Ignite in the Apps Manager. Has Verizon finally smartened up, or do you think they'll find another way to pollute our phones?

It's a background app installed by carriers that will download and install games and apps on your phone whether you want them or not. It's very annoying to purge your phone of bloatware only to see it come back mysteriously by itself.

I had used PDP (Package Disabler Pro) to disable nearly everything it recommended on my Note 7 and the S7E that replaced it, at least until Nougat was released. After the upgrade PDP didn't work anymore, but I pretty much knew what to disable by then and DT Ignite was at the top of my list. Nothing came back after I shut that down, and the 2 or 3 security updates VZW has pushed since then didn't re-enable it.
I'm cautiously optimistic that the Note 8 will stay fairly clean ... at least until Oreo is released for the N8.
et t-mobile tu, brute?
interesting discussion chaps.
i know this is a VZW thread and i apologize for the intercept, but is tmobile likely doing the same thing?
would this ignition program find such apps on t mobile? i get the note8 friday from tmobile (my other phones are unlocked non carrier version so this is the first time ill need to look for stuff like this)

Most of the totally useless crapware cannot be disabled without a package disabler app
FWIW, the one I usually use (Package Disabler Pro) is not working on my Note FE, but, BK Disabler is.
I'd say it's well worth the couple of dollars vs dealing with unwanted bloat ware...

I avoid disabling anything to avoid issues when updates are pushed - I never disabled DT Ignite on my VZW S8 and I never had anything pushed on my phone. Also if you don't want to be tracked, you're using the wrong operating system to begin with.

Good for you, seriously, but that wasn't my experience. I'd wake up to new, unwanted games and apps on my Note 7 and S7 Edge pretty regularly. And after disabling DT Ignite, I never had a problem with any of the updates, including the Nougat release for the S7E. I had to disable DT Ignite again after that installed, but the 3 security updates since have all installed just fine.
Not sure if this is the right place but here it goes. I actually use some VZW stuff. I like the native VZW to VZW video calling. I also love the VZW premium visual voicemail. The VZW cloud is handy, but I can do without.
Anyone know how I get this stuff?
You mean on a non Verizon issued Note 8 or something?
Not bloatware, but I'm pissed ours didn't get the upgrade for the swipe down on homescreen bringing down notifications rather than a 2nd app drawer command.

Not sure if the CSR was right, but she said there is an advance calling setting on the VZW N8 that I couldn't find on my unlocked Sammy N8. I have seen it before on my S8+ so I know What she is talking about.

If you really want it, Nova Launcher can do this. I actually prefer using the fingerprint reader for this, though, and you don't need Nova Launcher for it (although I'd rather have Nova Launcher than not).
Yes action launcher does too but the Note is the only phone I usually use the default launcher with. The sensor isn't convenient to me yet.

In theory, this should be a helpful application, right? Is it?
I found that soon after installing them and setting them up, I have gotten a few malware/virus pop-ups.
I'm thinking I either set them up wrong (not changing anything under "Service") or they did something to my Note 8.
I would like to uninstall them, but it's not letting me uninstall and deactivate them. Can someone help me?

I'm not giving that leach any more of my money. He thinks people will buy it over and over and Google let's him get by with it.
The reality is that every phone is slightly different. The package disabler works extremely well to remove bloat and freeze everything that you don't want to deal with but preserve Knox and other security things. It's well worth the money in my opinion. Most people pay more money then that app just to drink a cup of coffee once.

It's the principle and I don't pay for the same cup of coffee over and over. Besides the app wouldn't trip Knox if you disabled every app on the phone. It may brick but not trip Knox. There are minimal changes to the app, and occasionally none at all. Taking an app down and then bringing it back, making it a new buy, is unethitical and unnecessary.
Anyone with a list yet? I'll try to post mine

Uninstalled when prompted after receiving June security patch today. Went to link I received when paying for it on their website and re-downloaded to get the latest version, now working fine again.
Is the app you refer to the same as Package Disabler Pro? I bought it a while ago, then it disappeared and now it's back in the Play store with a different name?
Now the one I can find is this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elmklmsamsung.batteryaddon
That one.

I would try contacting the developer with your email address and product key. I'm sure they will be able to provide you a download link for the latest version. My download link says it only works 3 times, so I only have one download left.
Mine quit working as well after samsung update. Saved my key but lost dl link. Contacted devs this morning, awaiting response.
This is the one I'm using:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elmklmsamsung.batteryaddon
I'm on the latest updated from T-Mobile and it's still working for me.

We are still on Oreo on mine and the wife's VZW branded Note 9s.
We've been using Package Disabler Pro, Orchard from the developers web site, not the Play Store, since April 8. We get no indication of any system updates.
We were using AdHell3, before that.

I've read of issues with the Play Store version.
I would purchase from their web site, directly.
There you can ask the Developer if it will work for your phone version.
The Samsung page is currently "under maintenance".

Mine isn't working either since the latest update for the Verizon Note 9. I purchased it direct from the website and used the last download. Also save one of your downloads(apks) in Google drive or something. When they send an update out it will update the app. I did hear from the developers and they said they are working on a fix.
Hello everybody,
I've got the same problem. with July update and app version 15
Error Message : failKLM: Error code unknown 203, status fail
I cannot find anymore the app on Google Play (unless I access it though direct link).
Do we think the developer is not supporting this app anymore?
Anyone has a solution?
many thanks

Im using S10+ and cannot using Package Disable Pro anymore
Since the last update I am having problems as well. I had purchased this a long time ago on an older samsung device and it stopped working. Switched to bk disabler and then that didnt work on the Note 9. So went back to this app.
It seems the dev pulls the app from the store and then publishes a new one. The only way to fix this in the past was to buy the new version.
Seems like a scheme to make more money, but the apps work.
I don't think it is the phone update that caused it. The license-keys used, and these dev purchases from Samsung, have expired on mass possibly because they were misused or even meant to expire after period of time. Dev knows all this and you should be aware that you purchased essentially a subscription, even though you think you paid one purchase, and one that you never know when it will expire. Maybe in 6, maybe 8, and maybe 3 months. If the whole set up was above board then you would not have been forced to repurchase the same item again and again. There's no excuse, no supporting David v Goliath fight, it has become a milking operation.
Don't Waste Your Time and Money with this app! In a year and a half I bought it five times!!!

This is the CORRECT answer. It's money grab.
I posted this in another forum but this is how it works:
TLDR:
Many, if not most, of Samsung-specific 'Package Disablers' violate Samsung's license permissions. As such, they are routinely removed from Google Play or stop working altogether because of this violation.
Explanation:
To provide clarity, many, if NOT most, of these Samsung-specific 'Package Disablers' use KNOX specific APIs to allow you the ability to disable applications.
It's a clever use of an existing pipeline; provide end-users with low level device functionality provided ONLY to Knox-approved Developers or Companies.
To develop and access Knox, you need a development key.
To activate your Knox-related application, you need a license.
For each device your Knox-related application is installed on, you need another license.
So if you want to use Knox or its related APIs, you have to pay.
In the past, there were many creatives ways around these limitations but Samsung has become MORE and MORE stringent on the qualifications required to use Knox and routinely check-ins on how Knox is being used. Violate them and you lose access.
I had this issue. I emailed them and this is what I got.I bought the one from their site and have not had a problem since.
Hi,
Package disablers prior to version 15 are blocked by Samsung in play store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elmklmsamsung.batteryaddon&hl=en
We don't want to create new package disabler apps. Samsung blocks our play store app to promote their bloatwares so we are left with no options. If samsung doesn’t block the play store app, it should keep working. Another option is to buy app from our website that is never blocked by Samsung. http://www.packagedisabler.com/

UPDATE:
OK mine gave me the error. They said they are working on the problem right now.
Dear User,
We are working to resolve the issue.

Use adb for disable whatever . Find how on xda! :good:
I re downloaded my licensed version from their website and reinstalled. It will not complete their license check when opening the app.
All was well until the last update to my note 9, then it quit working altogether. I'm inclined to believe the posts above that explain shady access to security features, which got blocked in the update.
Contacted the (usually responsive) developer and was told they are working on it, but that was over a week ago.
