Stop pre installed apps from updating?

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.

Unknown error code during app install??

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

settings -> applications -> manage applications (go to "all") -> google play store -> clear data/cache. go into the market, setup account and give it another try

Questions about hiding apps

For iPhone in the Cydia app store there is an app called Poof that makes apps invisible. You run the app by actually typing in the name in the search screen. Is there anything like that on android?
- Solved Apex launcher ahs the option_

Hiding apps? There are plenty of apps that let you freeze an app or disable an app.
I use es file explorer. You have to be rooted though.

Guess your new to ANDROID. Welcome Cuz your speaking of Crapple:banghead: lol.
Anyhow you can disable any app from showing up in the applications drawer. Just go into setting applications, pick the one you don't want disable done. But your going to have to root your phone like the last post stated. Then you'll b able to do plenty more. Like completely remove what you don't want or NEED!
Just my 2¢

You're able to hide apps natively by going to apps then menu then hide app.. You can also install app hider pro from play store, its free.

Google services are killing me

I've been running the same rom for months it hasn't been changed for at least 3 months. I've experienced massive drain lately. I've read/seen others talking about it in other Rom threads.
I haven't seen much in the way of ideas. Yesterday I cleared cache. I just don't know what the heck is going on.
Thanks for any direction you can give.

Try using Titanium backup to convert google services to a user app instead of it being a system app. Then you can use greenify to hibernate it. This will render some notifications useless but all your apps with google will still work correctly once you open them. If you use autorun manager you disable all background services for those google apps.
Have a great day!

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

One more new popup.

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.
