I have apps like chaton and tmobile tv I don't use. When trying to un install them, removing updates is the only available option. .. the problem is, however, that it updates right after deletion again. Help getting this crap off my baby w/o root?

I don't think you can without root. Root doesn't have to be a bad thing. You don't have to flash a ROM or kernel. That's usually where you could have problems. If you just root you can install Titanium back up and remove bloatware.

Via google play store de-select automatic update.
With the app "Systen Panel" [google play] disable bloatware.
"Settings" -> "Data Usage" restrict background.
Don't what to see this app in the app drawer, "hide" it via app drawer settings.

How can I hide my root from TWC TV app. I have no interest in cheating TWC, but I am not unrooting my phone.
OTA rootkeeper app would be the best solution

I just wish there was a way to block individual apps from seeing root. Kinda like LBE but for root instead of permissions.
With supersu from chain fire u can enable and disable superuser in settings by checking a box but I'm not sure if it will hide root from apps, I don't have anything to test it with but disabling superuser may allow it to work, I'm also not sure if that option is available in the free app cuz i bought the key when I downloaded the free version. I know it supposedly can keep superuser during an ota tho and its pretty quick to check and uncheck, especially if u have the app on your homescreen

I'm trying to figure out how to stop the play store from updating a certain app. Is that possible?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I have no clue how.....?
Any guidance would be appreciated

Go to play app, click on the app you dont want to update automatically, there's going to be a check box somewhere towards the top, under the app images if im not mistaken. Uncheck allow automatic updating. Done.

I'm trying to prevent updating, period. Not auto update.

Disabling auto update prevents the app from updating itself. You have to manually prevent yourself from updating the app manually. I'm not certain that you can blacklist updates for an app the way I think you want to.
With Titanium Backup you can also detach the app from the Play Store

You have to be rooted. Not sure if you have to have the PRO version of TitaniumBackup or not. Anyway go to where you made your back up and find the app. Long press it and from the menu that pops up click Detach from Market.
go to your Google Play Settings and check Updated over Wi-Fi only.
this way you can update all the apps you want manually when you wish...
or just uncheck Auto-Update apps
Just what the title says. I'm trying to install setcpu and I keep getting this error. Unknown error code during app install 24. Yes, I'm rooted. Running aeonfluxx with deviants newest kernel. I've been having this issue since I tried an aokp Rom and I have no clue what is causing this or what direction to go. Searching turned up nothing and I'd really like be able to set my cpu parameters for battery purposes and what not. Any help? I'd rather not format everything if at all possible, that's my last option.

Try going to SETTINGS, APPLICATIONS MANAGER (APP MANAGER or something like that depending on your ROM), Scroll to ALL, then find GOOGLE PLAY STORE, UNINSTALL UPDATES. Then open up the Play Store and accept. Now try getting SetCPU

Done. But no use. 2 more screenshots..
I have had the same annoying pop-up ads that looked like this "your Android memory is too low,please clean it up" or something like that,when I pressed "OK" button I just was redirected to "Du Booster" app. So Ad-blocking app is your friend,and for me the best is Adaway.:good:
I had these starting yesterday. I just had to restore my phone to a backup in the end. I got rid of lots of apps and the aware ones didn't find anything

adblock plus is what i use and it works perfectly.
Adblock Adaway or the xposed mod minminguard. As long as you are rooted they should all stop the adds and pop ups

If you are not rooted the only option is to uninstall the app which is giving you the pop up. I don't know of any pop up blocker that doesn't require root

Yes... I am trying to do the same .. but unable to find the app that is causing it .. most of my apps installed are from reviews from top Android forums and few games only.
I have uninstalled almost 10 apps in suspicion .. but still can't trace the culprit.
Hurray... Finally got hold of the culprit.
It was named com.scloud.... (Didn't remember the full name)
Initially thought it was system app but when going thru all suspicious names found that there is an option to uninstall which is not available for sys apps.
After I installing it alk these ads are gone.

The other day I woke up to my phone having a Samsung notification saying Fitness With Gear successfully updated. I've never had that app to begin with so how can it get updated?! Anyways I ignored it since the Samsung app store didn't give me an option to uninstall it and just let it be. Well just now I noticed my lookout was being weird scanning new stuff I never heard of and found it installed 4 more apps called Gear Fit Manager, Gear Fit Installer, Samsung Billing and WeatherProvider. Any clues guys?

Never seen that Ray, do you have a Gear watch? Maybe with syncing them together it automatically installed them?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk
No I don't have one. The description on those apps say they're for the the new watches that aren't out yet. Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo and Gear Fit.. I got the Fitness With Gear pushed to my phone by the Samsung App store than it began installing other Samsung stuff. But that GearFitInstaller keeps updating itself every half hour for no reason. I always catch my lookout going off scanning it saying it's safe.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Yes almost everyone who has opened the Samsung app store has got pushed the gear manager and most those apps. They don't even know it. It's not in app drawer. Go to settings -application manager- all apps and you will see the apps

I didn't open the Samsung app store but I did have it set up to auto update my apps when on Wi-Fi. Didn't think they will have the nerve to push stuff that's not installed as an update. Also you can find two of them on your app drawer. Fitness With Gear and Gear Fit Manager.

The same thing is happening to my Galaxy S4. I tried uninstalling the GearFitInstaller, but it just keeps reinstalling. Now I've turned off "Auto update apps" in the Samsung Apps store. Hopefully that will get rid of this nuisance.

That's exactly what you have to do as well as the following: Go into your phone settings-applications and find the apps you want gone. First you must uninstall the updates for the app then clear cache/data... then uninstall the app. Reapeat this for any app you don't want. And then make sure you go into Samsung Apps and set it to NOT automatically install updates. Done.
