Amazfit Pace - Stop running APPs on Watch - safe power? - Amazfit

I think there is no way stop Running Apps, spec. 3-Party Apps like 'All In One Offline Map' or 'calculator', directly on the watch.
Of course I can do it remotely via adb shell -> am force-stop ... but of course this does not help in daily life. Therefore this Apps are running forever unless Power Shutdown of the watch.
Or does someone know a different solution? It would safe quite some power and CPU load.
E.g. an App for mobile hhone to controll ADB via bluetooth?
I would appreciate it much more if the stop-running app function would become part of the watch launcher.

Install one of these on the watch. It can kill running 3rd party apps.

The above referenced task managers do not run on the watch.
But I have found a working alternative which works for 3rd party apk too.

Sorry, mate. I must have been in a hurry to assume you knew how to make Android Wear apps run on the watch.
The one you found is the same one as the 2nd app I referenced. It's a modified watch part apk of the app.
If you're curious how, here is the link (registration required).
http://roundandroidwatches.proboards.com/thread/1369/android-wear-apps-work-tygryst

I am aware of the tutorial - how to convert the android wear apps that they run on Android. Unfortunately I do not have the APK Editor Pro version (paid) and the free version does not allow the modification of the APK manifest. Could you recommend a free version of a APK editor Android or PC (Windows) which is working too?

On Windows, you can use both of these.
https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool to modify.
and https://github.com/patrickfav/uber-apk-signer to sign.
Personally, I don't use any of apk editor for this purpose. Simply take the inside apk and install it on the watch. Works perfectly.

[Q] What does 'freezing' an app exactly mean?

Hi,
what does it mean technically if an app is "freezed"? Is the APK moved to another location, or are the unix access rights altered, or is a reference to the app deleted from some kind of "registry" of the Android system, or what else? Can it be done manually by a file manager?
Thanks,
Stefan
It can be done using the purchased version of Titanium Backup and probably a few other apps. It basically renders the app inactive without uninstalling it. Helpful for bloatware that runs in the background but you can't decide if you want to delete it or not.
Thanks, but this was not my question...

Most freezing apps simply rename the app to be frozen with an extension, like in the case of Bloat Freezer (IMHO the best one) the frozen app gets a .bzw extension. It remains in place but of course cannot be executed. The nice part is that if you run into an issue you can just rename the app back to what it was (assuming that you have root).
It works!

Cool, so simple - thanks! So it can be done with any file manager.
I've just successfully frozen the preinstalled "LGWorld.apk" by renaming it to "LGWorld.apk.bak". As soon as I had done this, a message popped up, saying "Deinstalled", and the icon disappeared from the app drawer, and also the update for "LG World" vanished from the Market app.
Hmm.. freezing doesn't mean rename. It is being remove from system. If.you rename yourself, the apps may failed to work.
Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
Freezing the app works via decreasing the temperature of the app to roughly 50 Kelvin. At this point the the app's molecular structure becomes a super condensed crystal lattice. Due to the nature of the crystal lattice, android treats the super dense app as non existent. Essentially the app is deleted from your system completely. However, think of it not as a permanent deletion but rather a reversible one. Should you chose to 'restore' the app, you can defrost the app. You could defrost the app using a microwave but I for one use TB Pro as it does a far better job.

Source - How TO Geek
Manufacturers and carriers often load Android phones with their own apps. If you don’t use them, they just clutter your system and sometimes in the background, draining resources. Take control of your device and stop the bloatware.
We’ll be focusing on disabling – also known as “freezing” bloatware here. It’s a safer process than uninstalling the bloatware completely, and is also easier to accomplish with free apps.
Uninstalling vs. Freezing
Uninstalling an app is exactly what it sounds like – the app is entirely removed from your device. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to get many of these preinstalled apps from the Play Store if you ever need them again. Uninstalling some preinstalled apps may result in problems or instability, so you could run into problems.
It’s safer to “freeze” apps instead of uninstalling them. A frozen app is disabled completely – it won’t appear in your app drawer and it won’t automatically start in the background. A frozen app cannot run in any way until you “unfreeze” it. Freezing and unfreezing are instant processes, so it’s easy to undo your changes if you end up freezing a necessary app.
If you really must uninstall apps, you should freeze them first and wait a few days to ensure that your phone or tablet works properly without them.
You can’t uninstall or freeze preinstalled bloatware apps without root access and third-party app managers. Try and you’ll find the options grayed out in the standard Android interface.

I understand and have frozen quite a few apps with TB Pro. My issue is there are shine pre-installed apps that I like to use, but when I run the task killer, they're always running. Is there a way I can fix them where they don't keep starting immediately after killing them, but still having them available when I want to use them?

Thx a bunch. I dwld and installed the grenify app and disabled them, however, when I run my task killer the gallery app is always running. I wanted to greenify it, but it's not showing up in the greenify app, even when I did a search for it, it just took me to my home screen. I clicked on the app and it just opened but I didn't see any options to greenify it. Any suggestions? Thx for ur help.
so at the end is freezing and renaming the same thing? no one cleared that up, i usually just rename to BAK and thats it, what does TItanium apart from renaming?
ok i answer myself, freezing is the same as going to app manager, and selecting DISABLE
or from a root terminal using:
pm disable {package_name} (e.g. # pm disable com.android.browser)
wich calls:
/system/bin/pm
wich in turn contains:
# Script to start "pm" on the device, which has a very rudimentary
# shell.
#
base=/system
export CLASSPATH=$base/framework/pm.jar
exec app_process $base/bin com.android.commands.pm.Pm "[email protected]"
what it does is set a flag for a component to some of different values:
COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DEFAULT
COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED
among others. (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html)
where does it store this flag: I DONT KNOW
is this flag a value inside some manifest/ini file? : IDK
is this flag st in the file system? IDK
can someone show me the light?
edit: I DONT KNOW for sure but i think it stores it in : /data/system/packages.xml
that is generated by package manager taking info fro each app manifest. i hope i am right, but dont take my word as absolute truth since it was a quick google research lol
Renaming the apk file can result in unwanted behaviour... I learned by trial&error! I'm running MIUI 6 and wanted Google Play as default app store and not the MI Market. Renaming the apk file for the Mi Market gave me the result I wanted: launching Google Play whenever I clicked a link to a certain app. But that was until I rebooted the phone... it got stuck on the MI startup logo. After renaming the Mi Market apk file in twrp recovery, my phone booted again.
So might try freezing it to see if it will do the job properly.
Freezing Mi Market with AppFreezer worked like a charm!

Depends what you mean by "renaming." Changing the extension from .apk to .apkold or .bak or something like that will harmlessly freeze the app since it's no longer seen as an apk by the system. Renaming the app itself is another thing entirely.
I renamed the extension to .noapk and Miui wouldn't boot anymore.
Good stuff

TIP: keep apps from closing when docking on a Touchstone Charger

One of my pet peeve under Android is when you are in the middle of playing a game and you need to charge, when you place it on the Touchstone charger, the game closes. This doesn't only apply for games. but open apps also.
Someone finally posted a command over at the cmtouchpad support site to keep the game or app from closing. I wish I had know this earlier.
Starting w/ Alpha 3, you can do:
echo 1 > /sys/module/a6/parameters/disable_dock_switch
to disable the 'dock' behavior of the Touchstone (will still act as charger).

thx nomadman, I'll use this. Is there a way to launch a different app than that clock app?
I'm currently using AutomateIt to launch a slideshow app when it's charging (on touchstone). Have to add a 5sec delay to stop the clock app jumping in front - I guess I can fix that now. Would be nice to simplify things though.

I have used a few but that goes beyond this discussion. have you tried Gentle Alarm?
Moving forward, the command doesnt stick across reboots and others have confirmed. you'll need to figure out how to execute the command after a reboot. I use a free app called Script Manager.
Create a shell script containing the echo command. Copy somewhere like /sdcard/scripts/ or /data/local/. Run the script from the application. Test by rebooting the tablet.
Renaming /system/app/DesktopClock.apk
to
/system/app.DesktopClock.apk.disable
seems to work well and you only need to do it once. I used root explorer to do it since I needed to change the directory to R/W. I like to use PhotoFrame for my docking app and now that annoying app doesn't get in the way. Course you need to install a new alarm application if you need one.
so what happens when you do it your way and you remove the charger/undock from touchstone with Drawer open or game still running? there's a reason why that switch is there in the first place.
If I disable photoframe (I ususally have this app startup automatically). Then start a game and put in the touchstone the game continues to play... likewise when I remove it. And of course the touchpad starts charging.
glad the renaming works for you. my desktop refreshes, drawer closes, and game or app closes when i renamed it last month.

[SUGGESTION] One app only android setup? Kiosk Mode?

So I would like to restrict an android tablet to only one app and one app only.
I guess I need to customize a ROM to only be permitted to use only one app and not be able to install open anything else but the one app, would also be very nice if the app was actually the home screen. of course the other usual settings should be accessable, wifi, sound and similar, or if i could restrict those that would be nice also?
The tablet will be some cheap one.
What are my possibilities?
Any ideas, suggestions? Thanks.

Hi!
- You could make use of apps like one of these:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.promobitech.mobilock
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gears42.surelock&hl=en
- If your tablet is running Android Lollipop then you can make use of Screen Pinning.
http://www.greenbot.com/article/2850373/lock-to-a-single-app-with-lollipop-s-screen-pinning.html
- You could also customize a ROM to suit your needs. You can enable root access and start deleting the system apps that you feel you won't need. For example, I think you can remove PackageInstaller.apk to prevent anyone from installing any apps (apk files).
- You can take a look at these pages:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24127947/lock-android-device-to-a-single-application
http://www.andreas-schrade.de/2015/02/16/android-tutorial-how-to-create-a-kiosk-mode-in-android/
- You can find a lot more info by just Googling "lock to one app android" or "kiosk mode android".
I hope you find my post helpful.

newbie question about barometer.
Just received my Amazfit, so likely it is locked? I want to side load one very specific application. I would like an alitimeter with either dial and needle or big fat numbers showing altitude that is based on the internal barometric pressure sensor. (for flying powered paraglider). The accuracy and update rate of the gps would likely be too low, but I can see from the barometer display that it is quite accurate and can sense the pressure change by moving only 1 or 2 feet up and down. I would also like to be able to "lock" on this screen once it is opened so it doesn't automatically return to the main watch screen.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Nop it means that atm you can't update to a dev-rom or get root.
Sideloading doesn't work for 99% of apps out there, so don't get your hopes up.

I know I'm speaking to some very smart guys.... Perhaps If I buy someone a ham sandwich (or $20), they can write an app that reads the barometer and converts to altitude specifically to fit in the format required by the Amazfit.
please update the list and add Watch Droid Assistant

More system space.
Better battery.
Cleaner app drawer.
List of apps removed :
Asus Service Center
Asus Calculator
Bloatware apps (Babe,Lazada,Shopee)
Facebook
Go2Pay
Google Calender
Google Drive
Google Duo
Google Mail

I'm having problem with multi touch, it's annoying when playing games.
And sometimes my phone took so long to charge. I tried using stock adapter, and ugreen with quick charge 3.0. But still doesn't make any difference. So i think it's software related issue.
Can you make a fix for these problem? Like custom kernel so it can charge faster?

WebView is just an additional app for me .. I use Chrome Dev which can provide me WebView.
I use Google Inbox and user should have an ability to remove this app.
Calendar plugin is just an addon for people who do not use Google Calendar to keep track of shedules.
It's all personal opinion and most of the apps are available in PlayStore so you have the alternate to install the apps as user apps.

There are two versions (Light/Extreme) so select one which is suitable for you.
This zip is usable for both Stock and Custom ROMs.
Benefits :
More system space (with extreme version I reclaimed 25% i.e. 950MB of space in Root Storage[\B]).
Better battery.
Cleaner app drawer.
List of apps removed by Light Version (Debloat_Light.zip) :
Asus Service Center
Asus Calculator
Bloatware apps (Babe,Lazada,Shopee)
Facebook
Go2Pay
Google Calender
Google Drive
Google Duo
Google Mail
Google Maps
Google Messeging
Google Movies and TV
Google Music
Google Photos
Google Search
Instagram
Redundant wallpapers
YouTube
List of Apps removed by Extreme Version (Debloat_Extreme.zip) :
All Apps from Light version
Google Keyboard (Needless to say .. you will not be able to factory reset after loosing stock keyboard)
Google Calendar Plugin (You will not be able to use Calendar properly)
Google WebView (You will need Google Chrome Dev for WebView)
Google Chrome
FM Radio
Asus Sound Recorder
To install,
Download the suitable version from LIGHT or EXTREME.
Backup Data and everything else necessary.
REMEMBER this is tested on my primary device but the risk is entirely yours if you try this.
I will try to help in case of all issues.
Flash via Recovery (nothing to be cleaned after flash)
Reboot.
If you see any of the above system app in app drawer after flashing this - then it is left due to App updates. You can uninstall them like a regular app and they won't bother you again.
NOTE : 6 GB version is NOT tested.

Thanks Avinash for this.
Just a polite suggestion - Can you add 1. Google talkback & 2. Google TTS in the script?
Found some more bloatware in /system/priv-app
1. Yandex app.
2. Yandex browser.
Wtf. The package name or anything isn't even showing in Titanium Backup!

Yes, not active I suppose. Maybe something to do with permissions. Even if you delete it, the folder remains although the contents get deleted

I deleted those folders too via twrp file manager.
Also FM, talkback & google tts.
And 2 more bloatware like Ibook and someother starting with "A".
All the above from either /system/app or system/priv-app.
