Let's Find Out the Minimum Amount of Services Needed to Run the Gear and Save Memory!

Hi there!
Yesterday, I've received (quite late, I know!) my Galaxy Gear SM-V700 and proceeded to pair it to me Note 3 running stock 4.2.2.
What I first noticed after touching the phone with the NFC cradle, was that a GAZILLION of things started installing: Gear Manager, Update 1, more than a couple of progresses bar (each installing several stuff), plugins, Samsung App client, Samsung Apps update, Samsung Account, Samsung Account update, Gear1 plugin., etc. etc.!
A lot of applications and services were needed. All the "Apps" suite (Samsung Apps, Samsung Account and their updates) were required to install apps to the Gear. Since there are very few apps for the watch, I installed all I would ever need and proceeded to freeze that suite again without any negative implications to the Gear utilization (or the Gear Manager)
The thing is that for the daily usage, many services were added that are running all the time. My idea would be to:
1) Freeze those that are not needed or are used for features I don't use/care of the Gear (i.e. S Voice, Pedometer)
2) If not possible to freeze, just Greenify the most possible apps without affecting daily usage
So, this is what the Gear left on my device:
APPS/SERVICES THAT RUN AT STARTUP (WITH THE BOOT_COMPLETED INTENT)
ConnectionManager: com.sec.android.service.connectionmanager
Gear1 Plugin: com.samsung.android.gear1plugin
goproviders: com.samsung.accesory.goproviders
NSyncProvider: com.samsung.android.notiproviders.applicationmanager
Samsung Accesory Service: com.samsung.accessory.core
saproviders: com.samsung.accesory.saproviders
APPS/SERVICES INSTALLED (AS IN TITANIUM BACKUP)
TextTemplateProvider 2.3.0
SANotiProvider 1.0.9.42
NSyncProvider 1.021
Gear1 Plugin 1.7.052101
saproviders 2.0.87
goproviders 2.0.87
WeatherProvider 140521.01_2.0.18
Update Gear software 2.140442.2011
ConnectionManager v 1.1.10
SAFileTransferCore 2.0.18.4.1
Samsung Accesory Service 2.14.41
Gear Manager 2.1.14052101
APPS/SERVICES ALREADY EXISTING IN THE DEVICE
AccuweatherPhone2013.apk
WeatherWidgetDaemon.apk
GREENIFY
Check all of these and each of their memory usage! :crying:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
To sum it up, my idea would be to know what every app/service affects on the Gear functionality, so each of us could freeze/Greenify those that we don't care for.
The best would be to be able to freeze them, but if this is not possible, at least Greenify them so the "shut down" when the phone is not in use (of course, without breaking the required Gear functionalities!)
I'll do my part and start testing with freezing each of them and check the most possible combinations to see what they do and report back. If possible, please help me out with these by testing that by yourself so we could find out these faster.
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
RESULTS (I'll update this section as I reach more conclusions)
APPS/SERVICES THAT CAN BE FROZEN
AccuweatherPhone2013.apk, WeatherWidgetDaemon.apk: if you don't want the weather to show neither on the clock face or the Gear weather app. Also needed for Accuweather Widget on the phone

Thanks, great find!!

It's Google Play Services.
It may help to turn off Usage Data Access for Google Play Services.
I turned it off for all of my apps that have access/request it.
I've found these two apps to be of use,to make easy work of Googling what exactly an is/does:
PACKAGE INFO:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.osp.pmanagerinfo
APP INSPECTOR:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ubqsoft.sec01

How did you find out which apps have permissions for this?

Most all android apps are dependent on Google services. Generally speaking, Google services is heavily integrated throughout many system apps as well as downloaded apps. It's a core dependency. If you get com.google.android.gms errors, it could be one of many applications that can cause this. You would need to run Logs in order to find the culprit or try uninstalling applications one at a time until the error stops appearing. Once you find the app, contact the developer of the app and provide your log and ask for help.

Hey there, thatnks for the info.
But where can i find the logs for such cases?

com.Google.Android.gms refers to Google Play services, which is an essential component of the Android operating system. Google Play services is a collection of APIs (application programming interfaces) and background processes that help apps communicate with each other and with other services provided by Google. It provides features like location-based services, authentication, cloud storage access, and more.

[SOLVED ]XPrivacyLua Pro - "Buy feature" greyed out

Hi,
I had to reinstall my whole phone. I already purchased the feature to enable hooks for apps in XPrivacyLua Pro before installing everything new.
Now I want to enable my hook again and now the "buy this feature" context menu is appearing but both items are grey, what shall I do?

Solution was to uninstall and reinstall the app from PlayStore.
I had restored a backup from the app with data, maybe thats the reason, why it didn't work.

How can check xprivacylua working correctly? Ex: i pick an app note, block it access clipboard, then test clipboard will be empty in that app, right?

The app isn't available on the Play Store anymore. And if I install the APK manually, it still has the same issue.

True.
I have the same.
DL: https://bitbucket.org/M66B/xlua-companion/downloads/
On or after July 12 the pro companion app will be removed from the Play store by Google because it uses the permission QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES. I am not going to try to provide a justification for this permission because Google will most likely reject it anyway because an app is not allowed to directly or indirectly have an effect on other apps, which is the whole purpose of XPrivacyLua.
This means that the pro companion app will only be available outside of the Play store after July 12. Pro feature purchases will keep being recognized as long as the app is kept installed, but it won't be possible to install the app again after it has been removed from the Play store by Google.
Note that it is not allowed to use Play store purchases without/outside of the Play store. So, I can't transfer or exchange a Play store purchase for anything else because it would mean violating the agreement I have with Google as a developer, which could have consequences for the other apps published in the Play store (FairEmail and NetGuard).

[CLOSED][APP][XPOSED][6.0+] XPrivacyLua - Android privacy manager [UNSUPPORTED]
XPrivacyLua Really simple to use privacy manager for Android 6.0 Marshmallow and later (successor of XPrivacy). Revoking Android permissions from apps often let apps crash or malfunction. XPrivacyLua solves this by feeding apps fake data...

horrible battery consumption s20 fe exynos disable apps options power consumption

How about friends trying to find a solution to the high battery consumption of these teams with exynos I would like to delve a little more into this topic because it is not completely clear to me...
What would happen if I choose the apps that seem to me to go in the inactive category and those that go in the always inactive category... BUT I don't activate the first option to put unused apps inactive....
What is the function of the first option? It is so that I put them automatically from what I see... But if I don't activate it but I still choose the category of inactive and always inactive apps... Does it fulfill the function? Or why does the first option always have to be activated?

also within location I saw that in the section to always allow location all these apps appear. Can't you disable or uninstall some?
I have the phone with nova launcher and many apps inactive always and so on and everything continues to be enough for me and with rest too
I have the phone with nova launcher and manual brightness, also many applications in always inactive mode and it continues to spend the same. I even see many apps that force the stop to remove permissions and I don't open them anymore and they continue to generate consumption. What happens if I disable these applications with adb:
*quick share agent
*wireless emergency alert
*android car
*authentication framework
*bixby vision
*bixby voice
*find my mobile
*continuity service mde service framework
*meta app installer, meta app services, meta app manager
*samsung text to speech engine
*private share
*quick share
*bixby routines
*samsung editing assets
*samsung free
*samsung galaxy friends
*samsung visit in
*customization service
*sticker center

If you want to find out, do it safely, i.e. backup first.
All you need is a PC and >ADB AppControl<.

General Official ColorOS 13 known bugs

So I got official version F15 of ColorOS 13.
Until now I found 2 bugs:
1. Floating windows scale/size
- replication steps:
a) set display size in settings to Small. b) as a result floating window of calculator is wrongly resized/scaled (missing bottom row of buttons).
- workaround: set display size to Standard

}
2. Unable to pay with NFC using Google Pay
- replication steps:
a) clone WhatsApp or Line App (e.g. for work purposes)
b) setup backup options for your chat history using Google account. You will be prompted to add a new Google account (hidden, available only for cloned apps, it wont be available in your accounts list in settings). You cannot use google account that is already setup as your main account on your phone.
c) as a result Google Wallet clone (for this new google account) will be created. This google wallet has a higher priority than your main one.
d) whenever you try to pay with your NFC just by putting your phone over card terminal youll get on terminal an error and on your phone you will notice that there are no cards added (empty wallet for this new google account)
e) when you go to NFC setting you will notice double Google Pay option. Changing radio button selection does not solve the problem
f) your main google wallet tells you that it is set as default but this the second (cloned) google wallet has somehow a higher priority
- workaround: whenever you want to pay just open Google Wallet app (the main one) and put your phone over the card terminal

With the F.77 version Google Pay issue is fixed.
