Any General Apps service is safe to disable except most part of Google Play Services, but they can make apps inactive so u will have to enable services for each app to work properly when u are going to use them.
General Apps Services safe to disable: (Google Play Services)
Google Play Services
-AnalyticaService(by disabling this one u won t be able to log in your gmail or youtube account)
-GmcService
-NlpLocationRecieverService
-GoogleLocationManagerService
System services safe to disable:
Google Play Store
-PendingNotificationsServices
-ContentSyncService
-DailyHygiene
Google Services Framework
-GTalkService
Keypad
-BluetoothHeadsetService
-SupplementaryNetworkService
Maps
-PrefetcherService
Network Location
-NetworkLocationService
-NetworkLocationService
Unsupported Headset Notifier
-UnsupportedHeadsetNotifier
These services are safe to disable, for example Google Play Stores 3 disabled services won't affect Play Store to work properly, u can still download and install apps. This helps to save some RAM.
great one!
I have just discover that app and it looks great.
I'll give it a try and check to disable some services...
GTalkService
If I disable GTalkService or GTalkServiceProxy, the network sync brakes. (The blue indicators of the network (wifi/mobile_data) in the status bar becaomes grey, which means I don't get most of the notifications, like new FB Messenger message or Foursquare check-in etc.) I thought this services are related to Google Talk (Hangouts), so I can disable it safely, but it looks like it is not that case. Btw. I disabled almost all the active 'Google Play Services' services and so far, so good, everything works. I am using wifi networks or mobile data for location (eg. in Maps, Foursquare etv.), so I guess I should not disable the other suggested services.
You should also consider to try Greenify, it does the same job and works great

Yeah, I know Greenify, I am using the donated version for some months now already, but Greenify can't keep every app hibernated. Other apps can wake hibernated apps up, which I know can be cut, but for example in Google Play Services, there are some servies which could be cut off because it is not needed for me, but on the other hand, there are some services which needed for location and as far as I know, Greenify can't distinguish in the app's services, it handles only the whole app, so I guess when another app wakes Play Servies app up, every services start to run in the background which means more RAM use too.
So I have found
CampaignTrackingService
to be safe to disable..
and GcmIntentService
not to be safe to disable..
Both exist randomly in user and system apps..
how to re-enable with adb in case of bootloop ?
Hello, I tried this app to disable some location related services, but my device freezed and now I experience a bootloop. I have no recovery (no cwm on my device) and I would like to know if there's a way to re-enable disabled services with adb (as I have adb access) ?...

abd access how, in CWM or system?
Nevermind that, do you have root access(su) in adb?
If you can tell me which services you have disabled
Yes, I have root access in adb, (stuck on android bootanimation , but adb is working). I'm at work now, but I will tell you what services I disabled when I'm home. (it was 2/3 location related services). I'm on ICS by the way, maybe this application is not designed to work with this version of android ?

But you must have root access, run su in adb shell see if its working
The app just runs android package manager to enable/disable services should be a problem with any verion of android.
Also if you have adb, it might help if you take logcat since reboot.
It's an amazing app. My phone became faster and I've got much more RAM. Thanks.

Billingservice in some app like Go SMS can be disabled too..
it's better for you to check what apps are running in background >80% of total time and analyze what service it use
then decide whether it is important or not,,
LatinIME service in android keyboard is not safe to disable..

The problem on disabling "GcmService" is that push notifications will stop work. At least those using gcm engine (almost all).

Thanks for alert. I disabled gms to gain more battery time, push notifications is not so important for me.
Thanks for the APP, I just disable the NLPLocationService and the battery drain has stopped.

What's the difference in blue fonts of the words?. Noticed that in services.. I know what the colored numbers mean..but what about the words? Thanks.
doesn't the words in blue mean that the service is "running" [currently running] ... i think so, I think red means disabled, blue means running, white means it exists
good thread, will be watching it to help tame my battery life!
Idk. But seems logical. Lol. Thanks.

Has anybody found a way to disable the facebook background services? I don't want it constantly searching for my location and I don't use notifications or the picture upload.
I just check facebook manually from time to time and don't want it hanging out in ram.
Have you tried going into Facebook setting and clicking "never" for refresh interval? Also make sure location is off for messenger services.

Grab the app "rom toolbox pro" from the play store. It's gonna cost a few bucks, but it has a section to disable apps in a function called auto start manager, and will stop a background services at will, but still allows the app to be opened up and used if you want.
I wish titanium backup would do this, but no luck.
There is a free version of rom toolbox pro, but I'm unsure if that will allow the disable feature. it's worth a shot though...good luck..g
Or...you could flash ics and use the built in options...

I don't think the Kill option for ICS will kill the background process. And the issue is even if you kill it, it will auto restart after a while. (I am running the ICS leak rom)
If Rom Tool Box can disable the service then there has got to a command line option to do the same....

True...and RTP will function across any rom platform from GB to ICS...so far.

I was looking for this info as well.
Ok, so I found this... You need to open a terminal and then SU first...
pm disable com.facebook.katana/com.facebook.katana.service.UploadManager
This disables the MediaUpload service.
But then I started facebook manually, and closed it and now I had 5 services running. lovely...
Looks like Facebook now wants to track your location too.
So I tried using Facebook through the stock browser and you know what? Its pretty damn close to the App now, without all of the crap running in the background.
Uninstalling Facebook App, bye bye

Darn, so this is the only way?
The problem is... Facebook isn't the only application that auto restarts. I have a half dozen that do.
How can I prevent these things from restarting?
I think all these background processes result in my very poor battery life on an S2. I get around 10-11 hours with light use.

I stopped using the app along time ago and I don't miss it, I just have a shortcut to Facebook as a browser link, works almost as good.

or if you are using FB only sometimes, you can freeze it in your favorite app and in the case you need it to run just unfreeze it I know it's not the best solution but for your purposes I think is suitable
If you can disable 1 fb background process, then it is also possible to disable them all, right?
I tried using ROM toolbox pro, but facebook automatically starts again
Titanium Backup ??
Freeze those bad boyz........in chuck norris mode....g
Is there really no way?? With MIUI and the "force close" option (long press back button) and blocking the rest with autostarts, the FB APP doesn't start the background service.. Now i'm on CM10.1 and searching too a solution.
Greatz!

All options to do so are greyed out. It accumulates about 500KiB of storage and network data a day despite the actual app being disabled (and not once ever being launched ) the only thing I can do is clear the storage data.
This really bothers me.

Answer to facebook services on Andriod
I recently upgraded to the Galaxy S6, and wanted to remove any of the bloatware on the device. I disabled the FB app first, since I don't use it on any of my mobile devices. I then came across the com.facebook.appmanager and com.facebook.system applications listed under the application manager on the device. I first stopped and uninstalled the two apps, but I found that they both will update on their own over wi-fi once it's connected. I can't disable the two apps as that option is greyed out. I believe the answer to this is in the permissions of the appmanager stating that it may
1: Download files without notification
2: full network access
3: run at startup
Curiously after I have attempted to kill the app on any occasion that I'm using the device, I received an email from FB stating that they're sorry that I'm having trouble getting into my account. So, in conclusion, the apps must be gathering data (at least all configured email accounts) from the device and sending it to FB. Once FB identifies that an email address on the device matches an email account in their database, it sends the email. Looks like my next step is to root the device.

tried removing it using titanium backup
i tried removing this in my note 4 using titanium backup. sad to say it is making my auto rotate functionality unusable. it took me half day troubleshooting and identifying whats making auto rotate faulty. Why does Samsung loves bloatware? Its making me frustrated as i want to stay on touchwiz but it has so many bloatware. I dont want to go on other roms as majority of them are buggy. Does anybody know any solution with my problem? I dont want any freeze/disable solution pls.....

I've heard about this before in a different thread. It's something to do with a lib that's in the app. Try renaming the apk to bak see if that works, might keep the lib
Sent from my SM-N920C using Tapatalk
Just disable it and you are done
Facebook wont self update anymore
And com.facebook.system
Same problem
I tried app called package disabler pro. There i searched for all com.facebook app/processes and disabled them. Now i dont see them any more in my process list in setting. The app costs littlebit but if it doesnt work, you can ask for you money back. It can also disable almost any bloatware.

Hi,
If you're not rooted, just disable it. From my experience, it has something to do with Facebook auto update. I personally doesn't use the Facebook apk itself, I once disable it but it later come back with latest version installed. So you are fine to disable com.facebook.appmanager. However, if you're rooted, better not to uninstall these Facebook related services/apk. Again, from my experience, I might be WRONG, I once uninstall them completely, my air wake up (waking up the phone by hover over your proximity sensor) doesn't work anymore.
Conclusion: you can disable them just fine.
With Fake GPS & Joystick for PokemonGO, you can set your phone location or teleport to anywhere in the world with just one click. If you really want to 'Catch them all' while sitting at home this app is for you. We made it possible for anyone to sit at home and catch the pokemon, even if you are living in Pokemon Go banned places. Enjoy!

Awesomeness Includes:
--> Find or map or enter an address of the location to set your location. Imagine playing Pokemon Go from banned countries while this fake gps app mocks your location to be in New York.
--> An overlay Joystick that hover over other apps, which could be used to navigate in any direction.
--> Evade from fake location detection from apps like Pokemon Go and Ingress through our super cool algorithm.
--> Use static notification to toggle joystick on/off on the go.
Procedure To Be Awesome:
1. It is needed that you turn on "Allow Mock Locations" on Development Settings
2. Don´t forget to disable "Use wireless networks" options in Location settings in order to avoid a problem where you will keep receiving fake locations even after stopping Fake GPS.
3. Make sure you run Fake GPS first before running your app.
4. Tap on Joystick button, which provides a joystick overlay which will be hovering over Pokemon GO kind of apps.
5. Caution: Keep the speed slower while using Joystick.
Installation instructions
Requirements:
1. Rooted Android devices
2. Xposed Framework installed
Steps:
1. Install the app and open Xposed Installer & enable PokemonGo Joystick.
2. Reboot & open Developer options and enable "Allow Mock Locations".
3. Select the initial location on the map and click 'Fix It' button.
4. Open Joystick & go to Pokemon Go app.
5. As soon as the app opens, drag the joystick in a jerky manner. This makes the app to sense, its the signals from real GPS.
6. Enjoy the HACK, but don't simulate run with a joystick.
I don't take any responsibilities for any ban/after-effects.

I having trouble getting this to work with marshmallow. I get the following:
Marshmallow: Wait for the location to set & turn on Mock Location setting in Developer options.
I have this app set as the mock location app in developer section and it is whitelisted in the xposed.

In Marshmallow, there is no proper way the app can sense mock location. It can be obtained only from the loading the location from the GPS for the first time.
So Open the app --> Turn on GPS --> Wait till the Current location marker is visible on the map --> Click Joystick! Tadaa, it will be there.
Added a work-around now in 1.06version build. Kindly keep Draw over other apps permission + Mock Location & Mock Location permissions turned on for the app.
Thanks for reporting. Cheer!
Cant use app always showing i need to set mock in marshmallow to fix and to opwn joystick
Not working, keeps saying that o can't go further with out enabling mock locations..... But I have it selected as the mock locations app.
Rebooted a few times
Just won't work
Why my phone can't detect location or gps signal not found when play pokemon go use fake gps please help me....my phone LG G4 no root...please help me bro
I can't get this to work. It seems that the app doesnt detect that I have already enabled mock locations from developer settings. Any solutions? I am on SlimKat 4.4.4 On a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100

I have made a fix for it. Before you open MapActivity you should turn on Mock Location and Press Start or else App is going to crash and in Whitelisting is to Whitelist the Pokemon app. PokemonGo Joystick + Fake GPS

Have you Whitelisted or Blacklisted the PokemonGo Joystick + Fake GPS app?
I whitelisted the pokemon go app and your app but still getting that it should activating the mock location option in developer options but it's already activated. Don't know how to fix it, using nexus 6p marshmallow.

Seems working right now after update.
I whitelisted Pokemon Go but Google Map still showed me on faked location. Is it not possible to make Google Map ignore the fake location?
Some problems I found is when I opened joystick, the compass button at the up-right corner is unable to press to change the view,

Not sure I understand,
OK so your installed (version 1.06 can not see a newer version)
Enabled in xposed
Phone rebooted to ensure its loaded
Settings on phone, your app set to the mock locations app
Load up your app, wait for GPS to get a lock
Now clicking either fix or Joystick gives me a message "you must enable mock locations" clicking yes (the only button) takes me to the developer settings where I can see your app is still set as mock locations app..... I just can not get past this bit.
(not got as far as loading ingress)
It can't start pokemon go app says Failed to detect locations
Nice app, works well
the only thing I had an issue with is Whitelist would not work. No matter what I tried, poke could not detect location.
But when used with another xposed module, hide mock location, it detects the fake location just fine
...thanks for your hard work
After I used this module, I restarted the app, and found my self stuck in an abandoned location, and the character can't even move around, nothing near me except of a road far away, I tried fixing it but nothing would work, I used my real location, and fixed other locations, reinstalled the Pokemon go app... But nothing, now it's still like this from yesterday, stuck in that abandoned location. Idk if it's a ban or something else
Anyone knows what to do??!
Edit : I reinstalled xposed framework and It got fixed
The Pokemon Go seems keep showing fail to detect locations, can you solve it?
Sent from my ASUS_Z00A using XDA Labs
Used 1.07, worked fine yay
But then got this
Ingress is the game before Pokemon, same engine, same devs, same anti cheat. So a ban here is likely to be a ban on Pokemon (will test that theory)
Did not move out of the city I'm in (the Joystick moved me in tiny jolts on ingress not smooth movements like it's test map) did not move impossibly fast.
Not angry at the ban, it's a risk that's accepted with these tools
Thankyou.
Thankyou very much for this app, i was dying of curiosity because the game was not released on my country yet, now i'm all better
But i have a question, should i white list the pokemon app? Because i didnt do it and it stiil works fine. And also, after a while, mainly when i enter the screen of capturing a pokemon, the controler overlay vanishes, and the message saying that app stoped working pops up. Maybe its lack o RAM? because my device has only 1GB, its a old Galaxy S3.
Again, thankyou very much.
Hey Mate!
Love the work, seems great!
Trying to get it to 100% work and find my location, I've been able to use FakeLocation successfully and catch pokemon elsewhere, but unable to walk around which is why I'm testing this app.
But have removed everything else, followed instructions but still only get failed to find GPS.

hello,
This has been driving me crazy recently.
I do not want to install google maps new updates from play store.
I have all apps set to "do not auto update apps", currently i can see that there is a new google maps update pending but something odd is happening.
I am happy with version 10.60.1, which normally looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But recently for some reason maps layout changed to this:
and drives me mad, i have not updated of course and this seems to happen automatically even after a few hours now or immediately after. So i usually roll back to factory version and then force an installation with APK mirror, which woks well for a while but not anymore. The first time i had the installation from google play original version etc and this happened all of a sudden.
Which is the "new" layout and is driving me mad, as i really don't like it and you cannot go fullscreen in walk mode if you don't do navigation which is awful, plain crap. Would it be possible to know:
1. Why is this happening? are they force feeding us updates even though you have updates blocked?
2. When it does this sneaky update, why when you go to about > google maps > it still shows 10.60.1
3. CAN I BLOCK THIS FOR GOOD?
Many thanks to anybody for some feedback/help.
Best,
Gabrio
Set Playstore to wifi download only; keep wifi off.
Or disable Playstore.
heh, i have set it to
Auto update apps: DON'T auto-update apps.
hmhm disabling playstore is a bit extreme, would be good to block maps updating only and stick to that version i like.. now seems i cannot put it back.
it's either the aging version 9 or after installing 10.6.1 it just goes back to that crappy new look
Playstore is crapware. Always running in the background.
3rd method; block with Karma Firewall.
If you are rooted, Detach the app from the playstore.
See: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-tool-temefi-comprehensive-system-administration.3806260/
thank you - i gave a go to the Karma Firewall and something interesting happened...
downgraded maps to factory, installed Karma, blocked Play store, put back app - nothing it still did the nasty silent change.
So i did another thing, i removed it again, then went airplane mode this time, installed the app and it was perfect, NO silent change, but obviously not feasible to use airplane mode lol.
then went normal mode (with Karma on), and it still did the nasty upgrade!
so i removed it a 3rd time, with the block in play store still (no change), no airplane mode and this time seems to stick, no silent upgrade and it's as i wanted to be.... only time will tell now and completely blocking play store is not ideal either, sometimes you need it but peace for now.
What i don't really understand is: my wife has the exact same phone, exact same version of the app, although we rarely use her phone driving etc, and they do not push the silent upgrade, i wonder why?
Is that because of usage patterns so they can see i am more "active" so they give me that new ****?
thanks again for input!

thanks, i will check it out
On most phones, your GPS is WiFI assisted, so turning it on & off will be best as you move in and out of registered WiFI that you can connect with. You probably would not wish to block the playstore completely, as that will also stop all your other apps from updating.
People have the same problem you have with Googles Maps, but with Googles YouTube. People install Vanced (ie no in-video ads) and detach YouTube to stop Googles YouTube from auto updating. Some people have tried all sorts of things, and it still gets updated, while others simply need to turn off the selected apps auto-update )although even these people lose it when the playstore updates itself). The Playstore is a black-box, so its hard to know why different people experience different results.
I have used my detach for a long time on YouTube (and a few other apps) without any updates breaking through, and so have many others. The main thing to ensure is that Maps is attached correctly before you detach it. Which in your case, sounds very much the case.
Google maps is a new one to me for detaching, so I would be interested to here how you go. I am pretty certain the detach will work, just never heard it being used for Maps. Totally not the answer for YOU, but I personally went for a different navigation software (Waze in my case). As google maps always put me on main roads with a higher risk of congestion. But for that, its a lot easier to miss a turn, into a tiny side street.
great thank you - so far so good, the block on the Karma firewall seems to hold. have to get used not to use play store anymore but im happy gmaps is not updated.
i've heard good things about Waze, if gmaps still bothers me, it's out of the windows, cheers
thanks everybody for info!
Hi there,
I want to stay with the latest 11.3.A20 and not upgrade to 12.
The updater remind me few times daily to reboot and upgrade.
Wish to silence this notification, but even more important is to avoid the auto-upgrade after reboot the phone.
I am on rooted with patched magisk boot.img, A20 and want to keep it.
Always worry if will survive the next reboot.
I see the update.zip waiting to screw my setup and want to avoid.
Is there any way to disable / freeze updater? Will this broke the working system?
Any help, will be appreciated.
Thank you.
Android 12, destroyer of worlds...
Either use package disabler or do a adb edit and disable the update app.
There is an option in Developer Options to disable automatic updates. However, I think this only prevents automatic reboot to complete an update, and does not prevent a device from notifying the user and downloading the update package.
Thank you,
I disabled automatic updates but the notification annoys. And every reboot cross fingers to boot properly.
Maybe it's possible to freeze updater without broke the existing system.
For the last few months updates not installs, since detect altered boot.img.
Hope will keep this way.

Kill it. These apps are akin to malware and generally have every permissions under the sun. They can do a end around on you if allowed it to run at boot up.
How to find it and Kill it?
Just tried to disable "Software Updates" package via Titanium Backup but got the notification. Didnt work.
Seems that need to follow another path.
Any suggestion of the name?
Will try to do:
adb shell pm list packages -d
look for suspicious name and
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 <package_to_disable>
This should work.
Thanks!
Edit:
With Link2SD, I freezed com.oplus.cota (Software Updates 1.4.15)
and com.oplus.romupdate
The easy way. Hope this helps.
On Samsung's I disable these two.
com.ws.dm is the firmware updater/upgrader.
Search for any entry with "update" in it.
I'm still running happily on Pie on my N10+, no issues.

Seems that package disabler don't work well for Android 11, so link2sd or titanium backup done the trick.
Disabling com.oplus.cota is not enough to get rid of updater. Need to get rid of com.oplus.romupdate , too. The phone even boots faster. Of course no background activities. Imagine every time downloading 4.8gb of update.zip
Edited.
Cheers.

I disabled those two services but it's still showing the annoying notifications all the time and even downloading automatically the update file whenever it wants. I think it's the 4th time the OS download the 4.7 GB update file by itself. I keep deleting it but it's very annoying.
Is it working for you? Did you have to do anything else?

You still have an updater app running. It may be coming through Google Playstore*.
I found this.
Remember the solution doesn't have to be for that exact year/model most times.
*my wifi is always disabled. I set Playstore to auto update by wifi only. You can also firewall block Playstore. I normally keep Playwhore package disable and firewall blocked as it constantly causes trouble.

As @blackhawk wrote this come through Play Store. I disabled OPPush.apk but no luck. Still receive the notification maybe 1-2 times daily. As per thread linked we need to disable few GMS activities. Will check which are for our model and share here.
To avoid downloading the update.zip you can create empty file with this name. I particularly put the A21 update, because will try to update soon to it. The updater still offers the C.01, but keeps my A21 copy. So empty update.zip should work too, to avoid downloading.
I always use battery saver and try to reboot with low battery. Wifi always on. Play store set manual.
Until now the OTA updater always detected the altered with magisk boot.img and didn't update with error about security, but I don't trust this behavior and want to block it myself.
Hopefully disabling cota y romupdate do the trick, and disabling few related GMS activities will stop the notifications.
I update my apps once a week, so maybe will try as last resort disabling play store and services. Enable before app update and turn off again. Hope this will not be necessary once GMS update activities become disabled...
The ota is pulled by GMS from https://android.googleapis.com/ota/ (checked via logcat) The oplus service is only for chinese region that doesn't run GMS, meaning stopping it won't help you. Best you could do without root is blacklist the url via hosts/adaway, I suppose.

You can simply Firewall block Playstore although it will still suck resources in the background.
Before blocking Playstore, any paid for apps should be activated and then firewall blocked as well to preserve their purchase state.
In my case this works well. I keep installable copies of all my apps so Playstore is rarely ever needed. Since I'm running on Android 9 and 10 many of the newer app updates are inferior. I'm using apk.mirror more/online Virustotal
If there's any doubt, I don't install it.
I use whatever comes in handy...

Hmm, now I'm looking closer, and that particular host is used for ton of stuff (push notifications, google photos and what not). Meaning banning it will likely break a lot of stuff for you.
However the OTA url just redirects to https://redirector.gvt1.com/packages/data/ota-api/package/....zip (ie add just 'redirector.gvt1.com' to hosts). That one seems safer to filter out.
Will consider disabling play store without sacrifice the productivity. In my workflow use a lot of Google stuff - workspace, cloud, analytics, etc. So ungoogled Android is not possible on this phone. Thank you.

You are right. The Google apis host handles all api request.
More precise is add redirector.gvt1.com to blacklist.

I suspected it was something related to Google as the download window was labeled "Google something" in the recent apps. **** you Google, I want to regain control over my device, what a pesky company! I also have the automatic updates disabled in play store, but that does not stop the OTA update from downloading without my consent. I can pause the download and it keeps paused for some time but then it resumes downloading by itself saying that the system has not been updated for a long time. I noticed the damn update is downloaded even using mobile data (without being connected to a wifi), that sucks

I don't fear the update cause I have TWRP so I know the update is gonna fail anyway. But I hate to keep receiving notifications all the time, some of them are sticky and are only gone after rebooting. But the most annoying thing is to keep downloading the update again and again. I will test setting metered connection to see if this prevents the automatic download, but it sucks to have to do all those things to just disable updates.
