This is starting to annoy the hell out of me, every time I downloaded an app it gives me this notification (as in the screenshot) in settings I've unselected back up my data and automatic restore and the notification still shows, I've selected do not show again and it still pops up anytime I downloaded or update an app, how can I get rid of this.
Not unlocked or rooted yet as I've not got a PC/Laptop and haven't had time to do it.
Thanks

I'm facing the same issue too. Annoying notification keeps appearing every time an app is updated too.

I haven't tried it myself, but did you try running the app itself, and selecting OFF for Automatic Backup?
EDIT: Oops, just realized that may be what you meant in your original post. There is a notification setting in the APPS settings as well - but it is grayed out, and the app can't be disabled there either.
Thankfully I'm not the only one, hopefully I'll be able to get to an Internet cafe this weekend and unlock bootloader, root, s-off, etc and sort this out, seriously annoying though , also annoying why you have to have a PC or laptop to unlock and root, surely in this day and age with more people using tablets you should be able to do all this on an Android tablet not really a fan of laptops but have having to go to Internet cafe for hours just to unlock bootloader root etc.

Just realized under Settings, Backup, there is an option to select either HTC Backup or Google Backup. Every time I turned off the HTC Backup and switch to the Google Backup (which is turned on), the HTC Backup turns back on again. Think this could be why the HTC Backup notification keeps appearing.
Maybe turning off both Google Backup and HTC Backup will remove the annoying notification for now..?
Did you turn "Automatic backup" off in HTC Backup app.

You can't do a lot of the necessary work on an Android Tablet, don't you have a PC and/or Laptop and Internet at home? You can get Windows Tablets (full Windows, not RT), and those will work as well.

Bizarrely enough I finally got round to unlock the bootloader today which took longer than expected actually and downloaded loads of my apps again and this notification now appears to be gone.
Gonna flash TWRP and root next.

Titanium backup > HTC backup > FREEZE
Problem gone!
I stopped getting the pesky HTC Backup notification after I turned it off in Settings.
Like I said previously, I noticed that whenever you turn it off, and switch to Google Backup, the HTC Backup seems to turn on by itself again. So I turned off the HTC Backup, and did NOT switch to Google Backup thereafter. The HTC Backup notification then stopped appearing again.
I don't ever get that it jus updates in the background

from experience working with satnavs (on winmo) that use sd card for map storage, i found that some didn't always work with internal storage on the pdas, luckily most of these you were able to put in an sd card anyways - i suspect some apps may need a bit of development work to support this internal storage (different path names etc)
EDIT: not sure if this will be possible on android - but a fix (sometimes) was to rename the internal storage directory to Storage Card (or whatever the name of the SD card would be) and sometimes this would fool the app into thinking there was actually an sd card there, and would then start working correctly.

maybe the game doesn't cooperate nicely or got conflict somehow with the phone's own screen timeout setting, temporary fix should be to set screen timeout to "never", before playing this game

It's strange though, because i did copy the data from my Desire onto my 1X, and the game would load up, but go to a grey screen rather than the one where you can pick your first car!?

Once you extracted the downloaded zip file, copy paste the whole folder under your /sdcard/Android/data. Just override the existing files there.
After that, reboot your phone. It was there on my instruction in first post.

you're welcome. the only thing that doesn't work with root is google movies and maybe some DRM-related movies. netflix + root works fine tho.
The only difference that you'll notice is wallet will show a banner that says "not supported" or something along those lines.
This literally doesn't change anything, though.

That's quite alright. I'm totally inside Apple's ecosystem right now, but I use Requiem to strip their DRM anyway. (No piracy of course) I prefer to have full access to the things I purchased. Part of why I'm going from iOS to Android. Rooting provides more access than jailbreaking does.

Well rooting and custom ROMs are two different thing. But yes, "rooting" does more than jailbreaking (but rooting is the gateway to custom ROMs) Android is definitely more open than iOS. Good luck with the transition and hope that the Galaxy Nexus will give you a good first impression at Android

I tried Google Wallet with my rooted Galaxy Nexus (GSM) at Rite Aid. It worked before I rooted it, but now the PayPass machine does not work anymore. I do get the warning about "unsupported device," but unlocking with my passcode seems to work. Is anyone else having the same issue? I really don't want to unroot my phone just to use Google Wallet.
I tried OTA RootKeeper to "hide root," but that doesn't seem to help.

My phone has been unlocked/rooted since the day I got it and I use google wallet at least once daily. Root is not the problem. More likely it's either the person working the register or the pad itself that is the problem.

Interestingly, it was the exact same person working at the exact same register where I got my Google Wallet working before rooting and failing today. She even remembered me from my last transaction and wondered why it did not work this time. I don't need to re-install Google Wallet once I've rooted the phone, do I?
[EDIT] I reset Google Wallet and tried again, both the root hidden and restored using OTA RootKeeper. It worked! Resetting my account must have done that. The cashier (another person this time) asked if I had a "Nexus" phone. Sure felt good.

Hi guys,
I want to share how I tested Ears (Music Search widget) and Wallet on the Nexus phone I recently purchased directly from Google.
I live in Montreal Canada and use Bell Canada as service provider. Today I went to Bestbuy in Plattsburgh and purchased a T-Mobile SIM card with a one month 30$ prepaid unlimited data plan. I'm going next week to United States for a week vacation and I wanted to have unlimited data available on the road.
My phone is stock, not rooted or CWM installed. The idea was to see if Wallet and any other hidden apps will stay functional when I revert back to Bell SIM card. I use a VPN at home so I have access to all US services (Play Music, etc.) Google offers. After initial JB update done on Bell with VPN enabled for Wi-Fi, the Wallet was hidden and even if Music Search was listed into installed apps, it did not showed into widgets list.
Once the guy at Bestbuy activated my SIM card, I rebooted the phone and voila, Wallet and Ears popped as available. I also noticed another hidden app, Play Magazines. There is nothing fancy about it, it links to magazine subscriptions offered in Google Play.
With T-Mobile SIM card on, I configured Wallet and link it to my Google Apps account, everything worked properly:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I also tested the Music Search widget, everything worked properly.
Next, I shut down the phone and switched the SIM card to Bell. When I tried to open Wallet, I was greeted by this message:
However, the Music Search widget continued to work properly while on Bell network:
At least I got Ears working properly, without the rebooting issue others mentioned (the app will lock itself). BTW, no idea why people are referring to "unfreeze/freeze app", there is no such thing in Package Manager commands:
Code:
pm enable PACKAGE_OR_COMPONENT
pm disable PACKAGE_OR_COMPONENT
In conclusion, it sucks to be a Canuck and own a Nexus. Wallet is so awesome and we are prohibited to use it. I was reading on another Canadian mobile site that the usual "mobile" suspects (Bell, Rogers, Telus, etc.) plan create the "Mobile Wallet" app... a poor attempt to emulate Google Wallet in Canada. It will probably have a crazy ugly interface, remember the Visa one that looked like it was coded by a 5 years old kid. Anything they can do to stop users take advantage to a cool product like Google Wallet and get rich by pocketing the fees Google would otherwise.
Man I wish Google wallet was working in Canada would make things so much easier.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Wallet fails to add money using my Canadian credit card that has a US billing address. Another "V" for canucks. :victory:
I'll buy a sandwich at McDonald's with the $10 I have not, just for kicks. Not sure I can afford a combo, heh.
Wish they would enable wallet over here in the UK, but I bet the carriers was to implement some solution of their own as always.
As far as freeze/unfreeze, that's what titanium backup called disabling applications before it could be done natively, seems the names stuck.

Just wanted to share my experience with Google Ears.
I flashed yakju 4.0.2 a way back (it came with yakjuxw). 4.0.4 came via OTA and I manually flashed JB (the 4.1.1 version). The phone is only unlocked and rooted. I'm in Croatia and I've never had an issue with Google Ears. I put the widget on my screen the first day I found it and the app never froze after a reboot. Curious, huh?

Not sure what "natively" is referring to but let me see if I can expand on this comment.
Many apps come installed as part of the phone. These are called system apps. What you install are called user apps. When you go to uninstall apps, you can only remove user apps.
If you root you phone, you can take advantage of an app like Titanium Backup. One of many great function is that you can freeze or even uninstall system apps with it. It is recommended that you freeze the app first before permanently removing it. Freezing an app make is invisible to the phone, even though the files are still there. Unfreezing the app just makes it visible again.
So, you can freeze Wallet and it won't bug you, and then you can unfreeze it next time you go on vacation to USA.
There is not a lot of use for Wallet in the US at the moment, at least not with NFC. As to your $30 unlimited data plan, you realize your 4G is capped, right?

How does "freezing" or "defrosting" work? How does Titanium do it? What property does it change in the app so that it is frozen or defrosted? I would like to be able to do this without Titanium.

You can use adb to issue the commands OP wrote in the first post: "pm enable /system/app/GoogleEars.apk"
I think that's the syntax.
Maybe some script at boot with a kernel that supports init.d folder I assume.
Cheers!

I think that's the syntax.
Maybe some script at boot with a kernel that supports init.d folder I assume.

Strange. I tried that with Wallet and it didn't work. I'll give it another shot. Thanks.

Is there any way to get Google Ears to work in Finland? :/ somehow titanium ROM Toolbox cannot find the google music widget app so I can't unfreeze it and also Google Music Player doesn't show music information sometimes.. :/
even by using DroidVPN I can't install or update Google Ears via Google Play..

There is not a lot of use for Wallet in the US at the moment, at least not with NFC. As to your $30 unlimited data plan, you realize your 4G is capped, right?

Ya, they have a 5Gb limit, if that is what you are referring to. I should "survive" with it for a week.
I don't care about download speed, I just want to be able to read my emails and use Google Now.

Yes, that is what I used to do on my Galaxy S2. I always used a terminal as is much easier to control and see what is going on, on your phone.

You could also install a recent .apk, it will make the Wallet show. Then, revert the update to previous version and Wallet will remain visible. It will not work though, you will see the error popup message I posted into OP.

Do you have a link for Google Ears in Play store? I could not find it

No I don't have, maybe the Google Ears app was unusable because I couldn't be able to install it again, so I searched the app from google and I found it then I installed it and it works now..
I used DroidVPN to update Google Music and I deforst the google apps then I installed them again from /system/app/ but I think some of those files will be gone again when I reboot my Galaxy Nexus because once them was on my phone 2 or 3 days but then suddenly them was gone I rebooted my Nexus many times then and I installed the google apps from system/apps so I din't defrost them with any app..

Just to let you know, Music Search works properly for me even if I reboot the phone on Bell network.
There is something weird though. When I find the song, if I click on the widget it will try to open the Play Store app then move to Chrome browser instead. Does anyone else has the same issue?

OK.. have you selected sometimes "every time" when it's asking that with what app you want to open the link? I don't have that issue so I don't really know how to fix it..
Delete Chrome and then install it again maybe then it's fixed..

So you are telling me that when you click on the found song image, it will open Play Store for you?
I did not selected to have Chrome open anything by default, I always use the choice once.
Play Store shows only Apps on my phone, yours shows other stuff also?

Okay.., I select "choose once" always too and I have installed Google Chrome what I don't even use but for me it opens Google Play Store..
Pros: You can almost get it looking like stock android (which is why i'm keeping it), Notification layout is nice.
Cons: Battery dies faster, Widgets/Apps Tray layouts are useless for me. Recent apps layout is worse.

Tried it......for 5 minutes i prefer being able to use samsung themes like 'blue and black AMOLED' theme. Good Lock does not have a black option in routine options
Hmm . I like it more. Haven't had any battery is issues yet.
Only issue i encountered is it doesnt easily explain Uninstall.
1. You can just drag drop the Icon from the AD to uninstall and
2. You cannot find the app in Applications to Uninstall
3. You have to go to settings and uninstall from there.
4. Once you uninstall, remember to Restart your device as soon as possible.
5. If not restarted, your power button would stop working and the only way to get it back is by a Hard Reboot (Power + Volume Down).
Hope this helps people looking in to this.
Other than that, had no Battery Drain Issues and it worked fluidly. Did find the "Ignore Repetitive Notification" that I dismiss without looking in messages Annoying and sadly, if by mistake I did say so for specific ones (Work Email and Whatsapp), it stopped showing the message notification all together.

Sorry, forgot the * on that. It was mostly visual. Coming from the S6e, the S7e is substantially better due to the much bigger battery, but with a Wireless charger at work, didn't see "major" drain issues.
Although, when the Power Button stopped working yesterday, I almost called Tmo and thought of returning before the Hardboot fix, as this is a System UI App.
Just wondering, did you have AOD on? I did have that off. Doubt it would make a difference, but the Good Lock is a Lock Screen, and since my Nexus 1 days, I remember them always being a Drain.
They just posted a new version and they took care of most of original people complaints, the only thing missing for me right now is the Quick Connect feature that it seems that the only way to get access to it is via Original Notification shade. If the fix this, for me will be a keeper, for sure, I've been keeping it expecting for an update and now I can say that they are 90% where they should be with this.
In general, a very good update.

I use this as well for my Samsung 4K TV! I actually find myself using it more and more lately. I've run around the house a lot while watching a program and being able to send it to my phone to view while I'm in another room is great! I recently was watching a friend playing a game on his TV, I did a quick connect while I was sitting on his patio with another friend, and was able to keep up with the story-line while on his patio. What's weird is that I didn't get any lag using quick connect but when I tried a simple screen mirror i got lag as well as quality downgrade that was very noticeable.
This is the only problem I've been having so far with Good Lock. That and the horrible app switcher..
For me I would like them to add a private mode toggle.

I can't find the app in the app drawer. I visited the Samsung Galaxy Apps store and it said the app is installed. When I clicked on the Good Luck app, the only option is to update the app. Can someone plz help?

It comes preinstalled on Tmo I believe (or at least it installed itself after a while). I am having issues installing the latest version of Good Lock. Phone keeps restarting and reverting back to stock systemui. RIP

That's weird. I just updated to the latest version and it's been really smooth with no issues that was there with the previous releases. Maybe try the typical uninstall reboot reinstall? Or if you disabled some apps that could be causing some instability.

Yeah, I installed the first version of Good Lock and it was fine. Uninstalled it shortly after until the next update.
There is no way to uninstall the app from the Galaxy Apps store; the only option is to update it. My Apps does not show Good Lock as installed. I've tried clearing cache, re-enabling all my disabled apps, rebooting several times without much success. I am not the only apparently as several others are having the issue and posting about it on reddit. Hopefully this can be fixed with an update. Don't really want to factory reset to get Good Lock working.
I have no issues uninstalling from my device. I just go to the app drawer tap on the icon and it gives me the option to uninstall. I see what you mean by not being able to delete from Galaxy Apps though

Edit: fingerprint unlock does not work.. did some research and seems to be a common issue with goodlock finger print unlock..
updated yesterday to marshmallow OTA.. this morning I installed goodlock and it seems incompatible if using finger print lock.. went into recovery and cleared cache and restarted.. it cleared goodlock so i changed to no lockscreen did a reinstall.. after restart it was fine.. I then reactivated my fingerprint lock.. locked the phone and Goodlock crashed on wake and forced a restart.. upon restart goodlock was no longer active... is this a known issue? If not I do hope that Samsung can coordinate a fix

My multi-window tray also seems to pop up whenever I get a notification from a compatible app (e.g Gmail or Instagram.)

Make sure you select all apps from the drop down menu in app manager then click on the 3 dots and select show system apps, find system ui and click on it then the 3 dots again and select uninstall updates

If it crashed out.. there will not be an "uninstall updates" option the Ui rejects the file under a crash and reverts back to before the update.. all you need to do is erase the download if you choose not to use

Ever since the ota marshmallow, I'm getting constant Google play Services has stopped errors, i think it could be related to Good lock. Anyone else have this? Hate to lose mm ui updates through good lock....
Recent Menu
I don't remember very well because i clicked it unintentionally, but is there a way to change the recent menu appeareance? I have now just the names of the apps, but i think there was another option like the android stock one
BTW I don't know why, but the app doesn't appear in the Galaxy Apps Store and i have Android 6.0.1

Good Lock is a System UI update that the newer phones like the S7 and Note 7 got. It won't be in the app stores. Not really sure how the apk was acquired by the people who posted it.

Edit: Just downloaded and installed it on my AT&T Galaxy Note 4 running 6.0.1 EPH5 (which i have updated via recovery, because i had no access to OTA on my location). It locks good as they name it, (But i was thinking of a thing "theme" like which is on galaxy S6)
@Shanghai.Knight: So why do i install the good lock and if i do? Then do i install it on my AT&T Note 4, if i have updated it with the help of recovery not OTA?
I don't have AT&T services in my location and couldn't update via OTA.

I'm not sure I understand your question fully, but let me try to answer. Good Lock is not an app that is to be installed via OTA or Recovery. It is a Samsung app that you can install like most other apps. Download it and install it. It will ask you to allow untrusted sources to install. Don't worry, this is a Samsung app. You can select only allow untrusted sources for this app only...
Good Lock provided the marshmallow interface enhancements that Google put into marshmallow. This was given to newer phones Samsung made, but Samsung choose to leave it out of older phones... . All it is is some eye candy and new ways of interacting with the phone. You can install it, and if you do not like it, go into the app, select options, then uninstall. No flashing required.
Thanks for this.. decided to give it a shot and definitely worth the usage for me... flashlight back on the notification bar is enough for me to keep using it!
edit: haven't had that since s3

That, the data toggle (which has also been absent for a while), and the ability to play with the color of the notification tray are all it took for me to overlook the fact that I can't use my fingerprint lockscreen.
...Though I am hoping for that to get fixed at some point.
