Just in case anyone hasn't seen this yet
http://rootzwiki.com/_/articles/download-android-market-update-3311-r94
That's where I read about it.(someone mentioned it in another thread also...sorry can't remember your name...ill edit if u reply )
Here is a direct download link also found at bottom of the rootzwiki article http://lts.cr/BDW_
I just installed it and so far it looks great. They have finally brought back the "top NEW free" and "top NEW paid" sections for those that.miss that. I know I did.
some new settings options and nice UI tweaks.
I haven't made any purchase/download yet though. Will updated this post when I do.
Hopefully google got it right this time
If you do this I would recommend making a copy of your current vending.apk in case you want to go back. I just used root explorer and copied the apk to my sdcard and installed the new market after that as normal.
Have fun
::::::UPDATE::::::
For all those who are cautious
I have successfully bought apps, updated apps, downloaded new apps, and also downloaded apps I had previously bought but hadn't had installed.
Also when you look at an app it shows you how many of each different star ratings it has.
I.e.-- 5stars:20 users
4stars:60 users
3stars:30 users
Etc..
Working smoothly all around. Much better than 3.1.5 or 3.1.3 imho
thanks man, will be uploading now!!!
I'm loving the new market. It's very polished now. The icons are now sized properly on the screen.
thx im loving the auto update
I upgraded last night and am still running into compatibility issues with certain apps ... ended up going back to trusty 2.3.6.
Is there anyone running build.prop edits (in particular, enhanced screen resolution) who has been able to get this version of the market working without any restrictions?

Yeah finally there is no lag when switching between the screens. But it's NOT faster than the old version. :/

I don't really mess wit build.prop other than vm heap, max window events, wifi scan interval.
and I have not once ever had a compatibility issue.
Did you send feedback about that to google?
They might have something you can do or may work on it for future market versions
I've recently been experiencing a series of pop-ups in an Android dialogue box occasionally when I click links that I know are clean.
A lot of them are dialogue boxes that say "Congratulations, your US number has been chosen for a gift - press the OK button to continue"
and the only way out is to either press the Okay button or force stop the browser.
The browser it most recently happened with has been with Dolphin Mini browser - can't remember if it occurred through my Android's native Internet browser or not, either way it takes me to a site called Mobgifts(dot)org
I did some research and some said it was a virus, but I have Lookout installed on my device and scan it weekly and just did a scan yesterday - all was clean..
TL;DR: Internet links in browser lately have been unescapable diallogue boxes that say "Congrats you won this" and you have no other options than to either force quit or press Okay then exit
What are your takes on my issue?
Btw - phone is stock, non rooted, hasn't ever been rooted.
Ok it seems your pop up blocker is disabled
i dont know wich browser u´re using so try to find something like that in the preferences of the browser
if it doensnt work go to settings applications head to your browser open the dialog box and delete all app data (dont uninstal it!!)
If this doesnt work try another browser
What pages are you visiting when the popups are there

It's happened on various pages, some links to Imgur (image hosting site), and then this time it happened on Vimeo.
I'm getting the same on my Cappy whenever I try to come to XDA. I just loaded Serenity Rom on the phone, haven't added any apps that I didn't have when I was on Cognition (other than BLN and Avast, in an attempt to see if the phone is virused. It's not. Supposedly).
I am royally pissed about this. I've had this phone for two years, most of it on some form of Cognition, and never had a problem. I literally can't imagine how these popups have wormed their way onto my phone--and for me, at least, what browser I use doesn't matter. Sooner or later, that damned popup shows up, and there's no way out of it except to FC the browser.
Looks like I'll be stripping the OS back to stock and starting over again, unless someone can suggest a solution beyond "turn on your popup blocker", since it's never off.
NOT happy.
I seemed to have found a solution - and from what I was told on AndroidForums on a thread post - its more of an AirPush issue - meaning its an advert through an app that has been installed,
I just scanned with Lookout and Norton and nothing was out of place or infected.
I also posted to Reddit's Android Community to see what they thought. I'm awaiting their opinions.
Getting the same popup from mobgifts.org for only the last couple days. Googling it get almost nothing. It doesn't seem to have a pattern of coming from any particular website.
I did as others have said and FC'd. I even accidentally clicked on OK once and it seemed to do nothing but except close the popup box, it didn't take me to a new website, etc.
Experiencing a similar problem, but so far, it doesn't seem like anyone has come up with a solution. It could very well be an app that is using the most obnoxious ads ever, but I've used both Airpush Detector and Lookout's Ad Network Detector and both come up empty.
I know that the ad network is BlueAds.com and they keep changing the URL of the gift site. It has been mobilewinner.org, mobilevisitor.org, rewardstoday.org, mobprizes.com and now mobgifts.org.
Has been happenning on my tab as well.. Mainly on xda. My phone hasnt had any problems yet. Quite annoying i must say. Hope someone can shed some light as have gona through all the apps with no luck.
In light of the situation came an email from Lookout!
Hey everyone, I just wanted to post this here - a conversation I had with the Lookout security team about the whole situation, perhaps this might bring some ease to some of you.
Enjoy

Don't know about anybody else but I can't read the text in that image, could you provide a larger version or copy & paste the conversation?
I just started getting this on my phone. Coincidentally it had never happened prior to me putting the Pure ICS ROM on my SGS2. Here's my timeline if it helps:
• Stock ICS ROM (O2 UK)
• Sunday - Backuped up and Flashed FOXHOUND ICS ROM
• Tuesday Morning - Factory rest, wiped cache/dalvik cache and flashed Pure ICS ROM
• Tuesday Afternoon - Restored app backups via Titanium
• Tuesday Night - Started noticing mobgifts(dot)org hijacking my browser(s)
I say mobgifts(dot)org is hijacking because it happens on the stock browser, ICS Browser+ (my current fav) and dolphin. It is also not appearing as a popup but rather loading in the current browser tab.
It's hard to diagnose because I can't make it happen, but it seems to be overriding some hyperlink clicks. As others have said, it seems to happen most often when I'm on xda-developers.com but then that could be because I'm on these forums a lot right now.
I've run Addons Detector, AirPush Detector, TrustGo Antivirus & Mobile Security, Comodo Antivirus Free, Lookout etc. All have come up with nothing. So, assuming all these Android anti-virus/malware scanners aren't just a load of rubbish it only really leaves either something in the Pure ICS ROM or malware in one or more of the sites I visit?
Would really love it if that image was big enough for us to read. This scam ad thing is killing me.

Its not just ics roms as it happens to me on my stock unrooted tab 10.1 running honeycomb 32. As you said its not a tab and it disables the back button requiring closing and opening a new tab
Not Malware or anything to worry about - marked as solved please

Like I said guys, it's strictly adware - use Lookout's Ad Network app off the Play store, I would link it but unfortunately I don't have enough posts to do that yet.
- It isn't malware or any form of trojan - its advertising, Someone brought up that it wasn't AirPush but a different company instead.
Hi Alex
I'm not sure it is adware. It seems to be just a Javascript alert dialog box. Because users don't always realise that, they assume that clicking OK is going to start a download or something. As far as I know, it should be just fine to accept the OK then hit the back button etc. It certainly gave me a fright the first time I saw it!
It looks like we're ending the golden age of mobile browsing. I remember a period on the desktop about 15 years ago when you couldn't block popups, and one malign website could completely ruin your afternoon. Hopefully we're not going to go through a similar phase with mobile computing....
Basically they let you watch cartoons and anime on your mobile devices. They were great. But a few weeks ago they got updated to version 8.0. Ever since then whenever I try to start the app, it force closes. It didn't do that on the previous 7.8 versions. But unfortunately I can't go back and use those because when u start them, I get a message telling me to update. And there's no option to dismiss the update. So yeah. I'm pretty disappointed over this. I've been missing my shows like dragon ball super and pokemon xyz. I contacted the developers about this with an email three weeks ago and never heard back from them. Does anyone here have a fix for this?
You can get the apps from here.
http://www.mobi24.net
Update!!
Okay so after weeks of searching, I've found a solution for the app toonmania. You need a modified version of the app. That's at version 7.8 and doesn't check for the update at startup. I found one here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/MovieHDLite/comments/5cqwh6/as_requested_toonmania_v78_adfree_mod_by_ries/
It also removed the ads. It works perfectly. But now I need one for animania. I don't have a reddit account. So I have no way of contacting that person to ask to also create a modified version of animania. Perhaps someone here would be able to?
Also you need version 7.8 of animania if you're going to try to modify it. Because version 8.0 doesn't work at all. You can find that specific version easily by searching google.
Found it!
https://www.reddit.com/r/MovieHDLite/comments/5ks797/animania_v78_adfree_mod_by_ries/
Thanks byron
This saved me the frustration.
May be there would be modded 8.0 that doesn't crash.

First I've ever heard of these apps, thanks! :highfive:
Oh, you guys are welcome. But you should thank the reddit guy who took the time to modify these.
So any solution for Animania guys?
You can get older versions of those apps from the site Aptoide.
But if install older version than 8.0 after start information for uptade downoload, and cant refuse it
Cartoon app
Have used toonmania. It's pretty good, but not as useful as watch cartoon online. I had that app from apknite. For me, it's even better than 9Anime.
ADDED 1 AUG 2019: THIS WAS WRITTEN FOR THE WIFI-ONLY T720, *NOT* THE LTE-ENABLED T725. OBVIOUSLY BE AWARE OF ALL THE PHONE RELATED PACKAGES
For those with the S5e wanting to debloat your tablet without rooting I have some, hopefully, useful info.
See this post by @Catmobile for an excellent explanation of why devs have trouble keeping Samsung package disabler apps on Play Store. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80048718&postcount=42
I used the app Package Disabler Pro+ (Samsung) by policedeveloper available on Play Store here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elmklmsamsung.batteryaddon No longer available, and does not even work on my device anymore.
UPDATE 16 JUL 19: Above app is reportedly once again available on Play Store. HOWEVER, those who recently purchased it have to do so AGAIN! Please consider this if you decide to purchase.
For those with better skills and a computer, using adb's 'pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name>' is an option, too. You can use the 'disable lists' to facilitate this.
Find here an example by @Catmobile of how to use ADB shell https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80054354&postcount=44
IMPORTANT: You won't really know the true effects of your disabling til you restart the tablet! On the other hand, it seems that undisabling (re-enabling?) takes effect immediately.
I did a web search and found an .xml file that had packages disabled on a Galaxy S10 or S8. Unfortunately I don't remember from where I got the file but this and other files are available in my shared pCloud folder https://bit.ly/2VXRoLt
Updated link 26aug21 http://u.pc.cd/5pqctalK
You'll find below files, among others, there:
disabledpackages-Package Disabler Pro+ DEFAULT ALL BLOATWARE-46ofthem.xml
>>The default packages using 'Disable all Bloatware' option in Package Disabler Pro+
disabledpackages-S8orS10-125ofthem.xml
>>The file I found. When I used this the tablet UI slowed to a crawl. From my previous experimentation I suspected that disabling the phone apps was the culprit. I was right, and am currently using my tablet without any discernable issues using the xml file below. Obviously, examine the file before using it to see if it fits your needs. For instance, I don't use Bixby, so I disabled it.
[EDIT] File deleted.
disabledpackages-WORKINGFINE-SOMEphoneStuffReEnabled-119ofthem.xml
>>The file I exported from Package Disabler Pro+ after reenabling some packages.
[EDIT] Replaced by disabledpackages133-OK.xml
Below are the packages I reenabled in order to get the tab back to 'normal'. I'll continue with experimentation to see which one(s) are causing the slow-down, and report back here.
Code:
00001 <importExportSetting>
00002 <disabledPackages class="java.util.ArrayList">
00003 <string>com.android.carrierconfig</string>
00004 <string>com.android.carrierdefaultapp</string>
00005 <string>com.android.cts.priv.ctsshim</string>

00009 <string>com.samsung.android.providers.contacts</string>
00010 <string>com.sec.phone</string>
00011 </disabledPackages>
00012 </importExportSetting>
Few More Packages Disabled
Here are some more. Haven't really messed with the phone stuff yet, but this addition brings total disabled packages to 126.
Code:
+00024 <string>com.qualcomm.qti.qms.service.connectionsecurity</string>
+00025 <string>com.sec.android.easyMover.Agent</string>
+00076 <string>com.android.chrome</string>
+00101 <string>com.sec.android.soagent</string>
+00120 <string>com.samsung.android.app.camera.sticker.stamp.preload</string>
+00123 <string>com.samsung.systemui.hidenotch</string>
Figured Out What Caused Slow UI
With further testing I figured out that com.android.providers.telephony DIALER STORAGEis what was causing slowness. Who'd a thunk it?
This is probably my last post in this thread, and present below what I currently have disabled while maintaining, for me, full functionality. In my case 'full funtionality' means no Bixby, Knox, Phone stuff, Telemetry (as far as I can using this method), most Samsung bloat as well as a few other things. I'll continue experimenting, though.
My choices might not meet everyone's needs, but they work for me. Use the code below as a starting point, and, Happy Deloating!

Did all of this work result in anything positive? Less memory use? Snappier UI? Less dandruff?

Whiter teeth ? and better sleep ? Actually, for me it's all about not letting someone else dictate what my tablet does, and what information is 'shared' (stolen, is how I view it). For instance, this thing has a telemetry function. I don't care what kind of telemetry it is, I din't want it. Also, this thing is not a phone and I don't use it for phone-like activities, so I don't want it to try to act like a phone, with all the activity in the background. I could go on and on, but...
To answer your question, no noticeable increase in performance. I do, however, enjoy the benefits I mentioned in the first sentence—except for the 'whiter teeth' thing.
I will root this tablet and then have full control—lots and lots of deleting files and folders. I can hardly wait!
I just got this tablet today, my last one was a Galaxy Tab S 10.5 before switching to a Surface Pro.
I missed Android multitasking and the apps which I'm pleased to have back but what's not nice is the amount of clutter that still exists in Samsung's ROMs.
I hope we can get AOSP or Lineage ported to this as One UI sucks.
The hardware is beast though. I'm going to give that app you suggested a try. Thanks.

I agree. This my my first large-screen tablet—8.4" before—and I love it! The app works quite well. It is what allowed me to experiment. When I root, even if I don't install a custom ROM—I have no problem with the OneUI, uh, UI—I'll know what to start with, uninstall-wise.
One thing I don't like is inability to use Substratum—at least for now. If you find a way to theme this tablet please let us know.
I did end up caving and buying that package disabler, used your latest script and re-enabled some apps.
Found that now the icons are missing from the notifications drop down which is fantastic! It was cluttered.
Couple of things to note:
Dolby Atmos has gone, I used this when watching Netflix as it did make a difference.
One UI Home app, also known as com.sec.android.app.launcher, when disabled will give you the stock Android multitasking which is fantastic! I use Evie launcher so I would RECOMMEND you have a different launcher installed before doing this.
I've done a quick search for the Atmos app but no luck so far, if you have any ideas?
Thanks!

I did end up caving and buying that package disabler, used your latest script and re-enabled some apps.
Found that now the icons are missing from the notifications drop down which is fantastic! It was cluttered.

Good to hear someone is benefiting from this!
I hadn't done anything where the audio was of concern, so I didn't notice. I just installed a few games though, RealRacing 3 being one of them, so now I care! No ideas, so I'll have to do some researching.
Thanks for the OneUI info. I use Nova Prime and frequently try out other ones, 'hyperion' being the latest, even though it force closes on opening—it bugs me that I can't easily get a proper log. Love Evie for my phone.
BTW, the link at https://bit.ly/2VXRoLt has my disabledpackages133-OK.xml file, which has all the changes in one file.
[EDIT] Reenabled OneUI cuz I like the way recents are shown.

Yes thank you for sharing it.
Atmos is missing from the notification quick toggles and in the Settings under Sound > Advanced Settings. Will have to look through the disabled apps. Have you since uninstalled the apps completely?
Just need to get that working now. Had an issue with Evie when rotating to portrait, it would leave half the screen white for some reason so now I have moved to Nova Launcher which works flawlessly.
My tablet does feel quicker now, I have all the animations turned off in Developer Options. Especially on boot it's not lagging, ready to go sooner. I've even got the 6GB/128GB version.

Haven't uninstalled anything yet.
Just checked, and Atmos is there for me—able to change settings for it, too.
Here's something you could try—do a file compare between what you have disabled, and my '133-ok' list, which is still working fime for me. I've been using DiffTool the File Compare Tool from Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.difftool to compare what I had newly disabled with what I had previously disabled. The interface and usage is a bit clunky (the dev has stated something to the effect of "it's a tool, not a beauty pageant"). HINTS: Use the compare TEXT files, then save the results using the ? icon to be able to use a text editor to see the results.
Please let us know what you find.
[EDIT] I f you find a better way to compare files on Android I'd sure like to know about it.
@TiTiB
Thank you for this valuable contribution. For those looking for root, this is the better route. You'll free up CPU and RAM whilst removing applications deemed unnecessary.
Been a while since I've been able to have a look but I've managed to find it using DiffTool
The package is com.sec.android.app.soundalive, now in Settings > Sound > Advanced Sound Settings > Sound Quality and Effects. Then in there you have Atmos. It's now working again!
Thanks so much for all the info!
Am considering about getting a s5e but the demo unit in my local retailers are kinda sluggish. Not sure if that is because of the bloatware or the demo mode.
May I know if this way of disabling bloatware will void my warranty? How much snappier will the device become after the cpu and ram are being freed up?
Thanks!

No issues with warranty. All you are doing is disabling/freezing apps—something that can be done via Android's normal Settings for a lot of apps. What you'll be able to do via these apps or adb is disable/freeze apps that you wouldn't normally be able to.
I'm not really sure if disabling/freezing has improved performance because this tablet's response to everything I've thrown at it is so brisk! Admittedly,I'm not a big-time gamer—e.g. no Fortnite. My guess is that the demo unit was not set up properly/at all and was also subject to a 'demo mode effect', if there is such a thing. ?
In a nutshell, I think this thing is plenty quick! am *extremely happy with it, and I would recommend it. I don't know what sort of return policy you might be dealing with, but once you get it home it ain't goin' nowhere.
Thanks very much for the info! Let me give a try~
Thanks for sharing, I can confirm that this made the tablet a lot more responsive
I couldn't find the app in the app store...is it still around?

I cannot find any app called "package disabler pro+(Samsung)" ..... so, I think they deleted from playstore....
So, my tablet updated to UI 3.1 but now anytime iI try to open a folder on the home screen, with it be a folder of normal downloaded apps or side loaded apps, it crashes the launcher. Luckily I have Nova Launcher on here as well and that opens and runs fine with no crashes. Has anyone else seen this or am I the odd man out?
I had this last night, attaching files to Gmail or one drive crashed the files app.
You need to go to settings, apps, files, press the three dots at the top right then uninstall updates.
Sadly the app will likely update at some point so if it happens again you'll need to redo this, hopefully a system update fixes the issue.
As for nova launcher, I have been using the tablet for two days now and I have noticed that it drains battery and uses quite a lot of system resources, default ui doesn't have these issues.

Hi there Johnnio and thanks for your info sharing. I had the very same problem with my S7+: couldn't attach any file in emails or similar. I followed your advice, unistalled to previous version and now it works! What was it anyways? I'm now in android 11 since some days but with android 10 everything was just fine.
By the way, since I'm here I take advantage to ask you another thing. In android 10, while moving up the 'recent apps' line on the left I could scroll the apps holding them with my finger. Now with android 11 I cannot anymore. If I move up the recent app line I see the apps there but cannot scroll them. Im' I missing something or it is an 'improvement' (?) of the new os?
again, thank you for your advice.

Hi there, I'm guessing that the update to Android version 11 has introduced a few bugs, I expect that the files app issue will be resolved with a future update.
As for your question, I unfortunately think that this is simply a change in the new android version, there may be a setting some where to change the behaviour but unfortunately I haven't been able to find anything relevant.
Sorry that isn't much help.

You have been of great help indeed! I have been struggling to solve the app file for hours and in several forum included the Samsung members one. You have been the man!
As for the recent application scrolling I'm afraid it is a choice of the designers. In fact I have a Samsung phone with android 10. The phone settings for the recent app feature are identical only it allows the scrolling while the S7+ ain't.
Will see what's comes in the next update.
Is there a way to mention this to Samsung so to ask to get it back?
