[Q] How to disable updates for a specific app?

There is one app I own that keeps coming up with updates, however this update upgrades to the "new generation" of the app where you need to pay extra for the features included in the current version.
So now whenever I am notified by Google market about updates I have to pay special attention not to select this app for updates.
I would like to disable updates for this specific application or, if this is not possible, just make an update for this application fail.
I own full versions of Titanium backup and Root Explorer. Phone is rooted.
What I was thinking about was to make executable for this app read-only (hoping this will cause attempted updates to fail).

Use TB to break the market link. That should stop it.
...sorry...I was on the phone...

TBPro Detach from Market stopped working for me at a past update to Google Play Store. Market Fixer has been working for me since. I have three apps that either a bug was introduced or a feature was dropped so I contacted the Dev and then block updates. A smart addition to Play Store would be the ability to UPDATE ALL with selected apps check marked as Do Not Update.

Two questions

Hi Guys
1. Is there a way to remove unwanted apps from my apps in Google play?
2. Is there a mod to stop music being interrupted by notifications or the least by co-pilot gps?

1. There is two type of apps installed. First type is normal app, which you installed from Google Play or Manually. Second type is system app which come along with the phone, you can saw those on first boot. YOu can't uninstalled those, but you can disabled them through Settings >> Apps.
2. As what i knew, the answer is no. In common sense, a phone notification(sms..) is crucial than music playback.

Thx Man
Point 1 I know I just want to get rid off apps in my apps in Google play. You know apps that you installed to test and did not like or apps you do not use/can not use anymore like my old Motorola apps from very old android that are now part of os.
Point 2 odd excuse it is for me to decide not them. Other OS's out there (old or new) do not have that issue.

On a cm rom I used back on my xperia x8 music was lowered to play the notification and not cut out completely, so it can be done.

1. If your app comes from Google play, you can uninstall from setting->app and choose app that you want to uninstall
2. If your app comes within your ROM, you can install root explorer and then open choose system-> app from that folder choose apk that you want to uninstall after that reboot your phone to take the effect..
Note : for option 2 your phone must be rooted..

Sure it can be done, but for now no developers is providing this mod. As what i know this will need to tweak allow muxing channels. I remembered the ICS add some support for audio channels.

Regarding your first question (seeing as everyone seems to have misunderstood and is telling you how to remove apps from your device); no, I don't think there's any way to do that. The Play store always shows all apps you've ever installed and there doesn't seem to be any way to modify that behaviour (either on the device or on the web). I'm not sure of the logic behind not being able to edit that history.

Make a new google-account? No history anymore

And no purchased apps and no mail and no good solution.

2 silent mode should prevent notification from interrupting music

The new play update let's you remove from my apps section, it's floating around the forum somewhere I installed it earlier

Question: Can I update Samsung Apps in the Google Play Store Instead of Galaxy Store?

Hi Everyone,
I've been searching the site and online for an answer, but no luck.
I have the Galaxy S20+, but this is really a question that pertains to all Galaxy phones. A lot of the Samsung phone's native apps (Camera, Gallery, etc.) will have a "N" icon in Settings, telling you there is a new update for the app that you can install. For this, you have to go through the Galaxy Store. I have disabled access to the store and most other Samsung apps I don't use (Bixby, etc.) because I don't want to sign up for anything Samsung and don't want to create an account with them since I already have my Google account attached to the phone.
Now, going to the Google Play store from the the Camera or Gallery apps, it shows that I have them installed and even allows me to open the app from their store. But unlike other apps that I actually downloaded from Google Play, it won't give me the option to update from Google. It just lets me open the app.
So my question in short is can I, or how can I, update these Samsung apps through the Google Play Store instead of the Galaxy Store? If they show up in the Google Play Store, there must be a way since they are linked.
Side note, I can't uninstall most apps (especially the Camera and Gallery apps) and them re-download them from Google Play, in case anyone was curious.
Any direction or help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

I did an update to the Samsung Members app in the Play Store just the other day after originally installing it via the Galaxy Store (S20U).
I know some of the Samsung apps appear on the Galaxy Store before they reach the Play Store and for apps I've checked I have both Uninstall and Open buttons in both stores. Don't see why it wouldn't be possible for certain apps.

Interesting. I just checked and I don't have the Samsung Members app installed to compare. But like you said as well, it should be possible.
Hopefully someone here knows how?

Just use samsung app store..

You can download new versions of your apps from apkmirror

Right now i think it can be updated only from the APKMirror page .... https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=Samsung+messages

Short answer: Yes and no.
As you discovered, some Samsung apps are available in the Google Play Store. Those can be updated via the Play Store. The other Samsung apps must be updated via Samsung Galaxy Store or sideloaded (the best source is Samsung apk mirror).
Having a Samsung account doesn't force you to use their apps. I have a Samsung account, but I disabled all of their apps except for Calculator, Galaxy Wearable, Good Lock, My Files, and One Hand Operation+, and having a Samsung account doesn't affect my battery or usage habits whatsoever.

Thanks everyone.
Sublimaze, I think this is the most helpful answer. Thanks. I have a couple of follow-up questions from your response:
- I know a little about sideloading, but I'm not fully versed. But say I download the Samsung Camera and Gallery apps from Apkmirror, how do I install them if my Galaxy S20+ device doesn't let me uninstall Camera and Gallery? In the settings, I can't even disable them (it's greyed out). Maybe these two app examples are exceptions and I can't do anything about it? I will say many (if not all) of the Samsung apps I see on my device do not give me the option to disable or uninstall
- When you sideload an app, how do you receive updates or update the app in the future? Is it a one-and-done situation, or will I be able to do updates on Google Play moving forward? Or, will I be stuck and never be able to do updates, with the only way being is to just keep installing newer versions when they come out on Apkmirror?
- And finally, is Apkmirror reliable?
And thanks for clarifying the bit on the Samsung accounts.

Samsung app store is far more reliable compared to apkmirror.

That makes sense. I think what I'm just going to have to do is just tough it out and use the Samsung Store to updates the ones I can only do through there, then revoke permissions to the Samsung Store app after I'm done. Seems like the safest way to go.
Thanks.

Bloatware remover for oneplus nord Oos 11

I used this apps it's really capable of uninstalling the bloatware on Android 11 Oos. I am not the developer of this apps, just sharing it. But be careful while uninstalling the bloatware apps. You end up in bootloop if you delete the essential system apps. So, be careful while uninstalling the system app, I myself and the developers are not liable in anyway if you brick your phone or any damage caused to your device.

I don't know if this really works, system partition is protected from any tampering. Deactivating shouldn't be a problem, but i don't think it will really remove it, otherwise Android wouldn't boot

Is gboard from Google removable or OnePlus Games without root?
I guess the Google app's contacts, agenda and Google drives aren't removable without breaking those functions in Android?

You need to root your device to remove it.

Confirmed working with root

When I root my device bank-app's for paying don't work anymore and that's what I really need as the most used apps on my Android mobile.
Now I've 5 or 6 apps that I don't update but those apps stay in the list of updates for apps. That is very annoying. Isn't there a way to hide those apps?

You can simply disable in apps options. And you don't even need to root for ir.

I did shut them down and set them off, but the gboard and gamespace app's stay in the list for updates.
Gmail can be set completely off (and even deleted) and don't show up for update.
Just as Contacts and Agenda from Google, but when you set those completely off, Outlook don't work anymore and it's not possible to set a new contact or appointment in the phone or Outlook-app.
Outlook or the Android system give an error like: no native app installed?
Yeah great!?
