I bought pro a long time ago and it's one of the first app i install on a new device. However I have now of privacy and battery life related reasons gone away from Google services completely. I did a backup of the donation package and restored it. It says activated but I get error message later on,(see pic) Any other way to activate pro? (cm 12.1,lp5. 1,rooted,xposed)

I have already answered your query in the other thread. In addition, uninstall the donation pack and reinstall from Play Store, not from backup.
Or do you mean that you don't have Play Store?
Yeah I don't have playstore or Google services at all. Only blankstore so I can download non payed apps from play. Too bad it's not possible to verify some other way... Thanks anyway
The only way is to have google to verify it.

I have requested this in the past, but the developer didn't respond. I don't have GApps installed either and Greenify doesn't work. Now I have to search cracked versions from to dark corners of the internet, for an app I've paid for.
The donation package has this permission, in my opinion it should be removed:
com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE
No its shouldn't for 2 people that don't have gapps. There are way more who try to find it in "the dark corners".

1. a lot more than 2 people have chosen not to install the spying, badly written, battery draining gms. And numbers are growing
2. Proprietary is bad, open source good in 99% of cases.
3. Depending on Gms is often completely unnecessary, apps can use open source alternatives instead. Alternatives exist to stop piracy. I use some apps that uses other ways. Like xprivacy for instance.

Check out microG: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-microg-gmscore-floss-play-services-t3217616
Greenify should then work. You can use Raccoon on your computer to download apps, including paid ones.
hey,
get microG gmscore by Marvin and Amplify.
Easiest way to solve things.
Greenify should be in XDA-Labs
Thanks for the tips. Will try racoon. Tried gmscore before had some issues and now I have gotten used to the good batterystats found replacements for everything that needed Google except greenify

I have two questions:
1. For rarely used apps, is it better to freeze them with Titanium Backup, or uninstall them and only install them when needed?
For example, I have an electrical amperage calculator that I use every once in a rare while. When I'm working on a project where I need those calculations quickly, it's very handy to have an app for that. But there can be months at a time when I never open it. What is the best way to manage that app when it's not being used? What if it's a little bit of a bloaty or questionable developer app? (Potentially starting up on boot or something) - does this change my treatment of it?
2. I use (and love) Hyperdrive for my rom. In the installer, there are some apps like, Google Maps or Gmail, and file managers and things like that. What is the benefit to installing apps that can be installed via the Play store through the rom installer? My gut instinct would say that installing it via the rom leaves more possibility for there to be problems. If I install an app via the Play store, I can easily uninstall it. But apps are something that I see offered with quite a few roms. Why?
Bump..

1. Well, if you have the space to spare then obviously freezing would be more convenient than having to go to the Play Store every time you want to re-install it... however I highly doubt that an app like that would run on boot or hog any resources while not in use, so why not just leave it there? Another option if you need space on your phone storage would be to do a backup of any apps you don't use (backups will save to the sd card) and simply restore them when needed. There are ways to find out what apps are hogging resources when not in use, but I don't know off hand so you'll have to do your own search for that info.
2. This is just a matter of convenience as well... the rom developer is simply making your life easier by including popular apps right off the bat saving you the hassle of going to the Play Store to install them one by one. If you feel more comfortable going to the Play Store anyway... well then do so. It's the same apps either way so there's really no difference.
Hi All,
I love Greenify, I used it regularly on my phone.
Unfortunately, I got a new job and my work required me to install an MDM product, Mobiliron
It will not let me access my work information unless I uninstall greenify. It detects certain applications on their list. It's a really dumb implementation, but not much I can do about it.
Is there an alternate build that I could install that anyone has that is the same application but named something different that might hopefully not flag in their application blacklist?

In case you have installed Xposed, try MinMinHide.
Thanks for the option, but I need a non root option unfortunately. Greenify works fine, but because it flags on an application blacklist it conflicts
For an Android 5.x device, you can use secondary user for your work app, which won't see the apps installed in the primary user.

just installed greenify yesterday and have been playing around with it, pleased with the results so far...but i'm trying to greenify google maps and not having much success.
i get that only the donation version (which i'm strongly considering purchasing btw, just want to do a little more tinkering before commiting) allows for greenifying system apps...so i converted maps to a user app in titanium and rebooted - but maps still isn't showing in the app analyzer for me to greenify it. am i missing something? i see tons of people saying they've greenified maps, but i can't for the life of me figure out how to do it...
also (unrelated), what does 'don't remove notifications' do? i checked it but i don't seem to get any notifications when apps are hibernated (i don't get any notifications regardless of whether it's checked or not, actually)...

Maps hibernates fine with the donate version ('nuff said).
'Don't Remove notifications' refers to notifications the target app has posted which could be dismissed by Greenify. Eg: new mail count.
I'm sure it does...that doesn't answer the question of why it doesn't show up once it's converted to a user app. Like I said I'm considering the paid version, but I'm not sure why this wouldn't work as a user app...

Who knows...maybe it retains some if its system characteristics. Donate version $3 USD and it does what you want.
I still might...but the FAQ on google+ specifically says you can do it by converting to user app. It doesn't work. I'd like to know if there's something I'm missing, aside from "buy the paid version" (and if that's the case, they should update the FAQ)

I have a problem using my apps because of the ads,they appear fullscreen on every 3 seconds,so its imposible to use my apps.i have tried a lot of apps that block advertisments, but they were useless.all of the apps are downloaded from google playstore.solution?
check your apps, fake ones act like this
There are some apps which produce ads on our mobile for that they earn money for displaying it and earn more when clicking it.
Try adblock plus which is totally free and it's not available in Playstore so you need to download it directly from your browser.
It might work :good:

Are you rooted? How do you block ads?
Is this happen on every app on your smartphone, even the native ones? This sounds like a virus/exploit.... if your smartphone is rooted you should try to get an antivirus-app and try to use it.. or if nothing works you have to reinstall your OS

This is abnormal (not related to a website for instance). Wipe the user data and start from scratch to identify the faulty app. Did you install apks outside the Play Store?

Well that's part of your problem right there. That developer is known if being terrible with putting ads everywhere. No one that knows will touch their apps.

That won't matter as long as you have apps from Cheeta apps. They are one of the most hated app developers around do to the ads. Also most of their apps really don't do anything other then placebo

You have obviously installed crappy apps that use ads from adbuddiz, admob... We can find a lot of them on Google Play (one of the reason why F-Droid is a good alternative).
Either uninstall everything but trusted apps (then reboot) or root your device and update your hosts file with good sources (AdAway's ones for instance). If it doesn't work, you will probaly have to start from scratch.
So I have APKure on my phone.
I regularly swiped the play Protect message wanting it to uninstall APKure.
I got annoyed so I disabled Play Protect.
I still got that annoying pop-up saying "hey I'm here, uninstall that app"
This drives me nuts !
How can I get rid of play Protect or create some exceptions to get rid of these popups?
Thx a lot
In your settings you can turn off play protect
Like this ?
Still getting that message ...
In this case, just delete google play store from your phone if you are deciding to stick with apkpure
Try clearing app and system cache.
Package Disable Playstore or firewall block it.

None of these two. I mean delete delete it, not disabling it, since if you are gonna use apkpure instead of google play store then there is no need for it to interrupt your installations and etc.

Not necessary to uninstall it. Occasionally you may want to use Playwhore.
Side loading is the best way to get malware or worse. Scan all side loads with online Virustotal before installing and reject any download if there's the slightest question of its integrity. Do not allow apps to update unless completely vetted and trusted like Malwarebytes. Most apps don't need to update. Firewall block all apps that don't need internet access to perform their core function. Most apps don't need internet access.

I use Package Disabler and Karma Firewall so it's easier to just pull the plugs on Playstore.
I use ApkExport to save my apps so Playstore isn't needed on a reload.
Any app install carries risks unless fully vetted. Playstore has been breached multiple times in different ways, other sites carry similar risks. Best to avoid new downloads whenever possible.
This one of the reasons the current load on this N10+ will be 3 yo in June. Still fast and very stable. No firmware upgrades or updates in over 3 years.
That app is a cancer. Use APK Mirror or use official sources. If you need an XAPK installer, there are plenty on the Play Store that are much more trustworthy. There was even a malware distributed with the official APKPure app before.
APKPure is not safe, distributes Trojans
The APKPure app store for Android has been infected by a malicious module that downloads Trojans to users’ devices.
