Disabling/Enabling Individual Packages

[Oleg]

Hey all,

So I used BK Disabler until it stopped working, however I still have the app. I also have the Alliance Shield Version 0.5.8

My issue is that I cannot enable/disable any packages using either of those apps. The BK Disabler won't activate the license, while the Alliance Shield won't actually list any of the packages in its version of the package disabler.

I have tried every other package disabler I can think of... same result

If you know of any method please let me know,

Thanks

If you have working shield (v1) 0.5.8 you can use it like a package disabler. Open shield app, then just look for the 3 dots in the right area of the title, tap on it and choose package management. After a short time, all packages will be listed. The green ones are active, the red ones not.
Be careful not to tamper with red (already blocked) packages related to the system / software updates.

I've tried that. No packages show up in the list

Maybe this is affected by the bk disabler, even if not working any longer due to license.
Thats why we recommended to remove other pd's before using the shield.

Who is your carrier? For AT&T or VZW models you could use ADB method or debloater for handling individual packages.

if you decide to uninstall BK Disabler, let us know and I can tell you the steps to uninstalling it.

I have BK Disabler and I'm getting ready to roll back ROMs and install Shield v2. Should I uninstall it first? It is a T mobile phone.

Thanks very much,

Ellkabong

you should uninstall BK before flashing your phone. download the v2 apk to your sd card so you don't need to connect to the internet when installing and only when you need to log in.

I have the Verizon version. I will look into the ADB method. I remember reading about it on the instructions for preventing updates. Thanks

so is the v2 apk the only way to disable packages now that package disable pro isnt working on the note 7 now? or is there other methods? currently using package disabler pro but planning on wiping my phone soon but if i cant license package disabler pro ... guess v2 allience shield it is

It depends on your carrier. With AT&T or VZW you can use ADB method.
Or debloater (uses ADB too), gives you the opportunity for "individual tuning" of your note, if you know what you do.
With Sprint or T-Mobile this won't work. Use the shield v2 instead.

You are awesome!

Is there a way to use shield v2 on verizon? I don't see the option to disable packages. I'll use debloater if I have to, just wasn't sure if I was missing something.

hey everyone....just curious...will this work on q
a samsung gs5 from straight talk...its model S902L ....id like to get rid of updates and knox....any help would be greatly appreciated....thanks

@peregrinus
You can use shield v2 with verizon like with any other carrier. It's not a package disabler. You don't need to disable the update packages as they will be installed by shield with insufficient permissions so they will fail. However it's up to you with verizon phone to use ADB script or even debloater if you are sure what you do.

@marty.fisher
you can use shield v1 as package disabler with your s5. Make 2 more posts (non spam) to be qualified for shield usage.

[peregrinus]

Thanks, ended up using debloater, I'm all squared away now. I just thought maybe there was a built in disabler I was missing.

that along with the updated samsung pay is awesome.
