Related to [this question](https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/183045/how-to-prevent-uninstalling-applications) . I want to make an app that users can download from the Play Store, set a time range in different ways, and cannot uninstall the app during that time period. Once the time period is over, they should be able to uninstall the app. Is this possible without the user having root access?

Question :- Any apps or ways to categories group apps folders in menu view Is there any apps or setting to categories group move apps installed icons in folders inside menu view. as there is jumble of apps to search in alphabetical order which cant be moved or.clubed inside menu view of. Android 6.0 unrooted mobile phone. I had searched Google and.finded smart launcher go launcher x or drawer to. Circle launchers but all just change wallpapers or screens or create widgets folder organizer manager but no one manages the menu view Yes I know we can create folder in home (mobile desktop views) but rereating folders shortcut making home screens desktop jumbled will slow down booting of Android starting and many time it don't display icon image on reboot of mobiles. Can we create self menu (as start menu in Windows properly organised) through app and hide the original menu and replace our own menu. I have seen a circle.menu recreated by some apps. Any stable good idea or app to create organize categorise apps icons shortcuts in a menu view as it's not customisable in Android 6.

Android is generaly horrible when it comes to managing or saving disk space. But recently, new problem appeared, which is the Media Storage system application which fills my internal memory (disk memory) with 350MB of data. I deleted the data using Application manager, but the data reappears. Why does it happen and how to stop it? I saw no negative side effects of deleting Media storage data.

I know some app developers say that I should uninstall then reinstall their app if experiencing problems or updating, but I wondered if stopping the app and clearing data via the Manage Applications setting would accomplish the same purpose. I'm running ICS 4.0.3.

I'm a bit surprised I couldn't find this answers myself. I am a major minimalist when it comes to computers (my desktop and laptop both run strip-down Linuces) and I wanted to get rid of some of the bloatware that came with my new Android. My only problem being that I'm not entirely sure what some of the applications do and whether I need/want them. Is there any way to get details on what an application does? Edit: For clarification: when I say "details" I mean some description of what the application does. Edit: My device is a Samsung S4 Mini from AT&T.

I have a Redmi note 8 android smart-phone, If I use Wifi then all the applications connect to the internet, But in Simcard, some of the applications are not able to connect to the internet. For instance, in sim-card internet, some apps like Telegram or Whatsapp connect to the internet easily, but my Chrome browser or google map does not connect to the internet and says you are offline and there is no connectivity. I'm wondering if there is a place in android or specifically in redmi note 8 which manages how application connectivity. Thanks

How can I prevent uninstalling selected applications by mistake? can I add a user application to device administrator for example?

My device is vivo 1718 android 8.1. I have found this Network Management window when I didn't turn on mobile data access for one app. That app pops up an alert to change the network access and when I press to change it, I am directed to this window: [](https://i.sstatic.net/muNWZ.jpg) network management window (click to enlarge) But after that I can't find it anywhere in my settings.

Let me first say I am not an Android person and new to this. I am needing to disable applications on 300+ devices. I have a list that they want disabled, now I've been just manually going in and swiping each one to disable them, but this is very time consuming. There has to be an easier way. I was thinking with profile I could make and download it off the internet on each one or each device is encrypted with Mobile Iron, is there something to push to the device's to do this this. My searching has shown nothing useful. Thanks, Tablets are LG VK815 Android version 5.0.2

Currently I have installed ~500 apps, mostly productivity apps and tools of various types. I would like to have only ~100 most frequent apps installed and keep the rest (~400) uninstalled, stored in the file system along with their settings. If needed, I would like to restore such a stored app (ideally including its settings), use it and when no longer needed, archive + uninstall again. The sample of such an app is a Latin lexicon or some infrequently used measurement tool. **Is there an app or some procedure for this task?** Or the truth is that there is no tool which can easily backup and restore *settings* of 3rd-party apps (only the APKs themselves)? Could you refer to a tool who could at least partially automate this? At least some APK install+deinstall tool keeping user-friendly record about each app and showing **Archive**/**Restore** button next to it? --- The reason of my expectation is unnecessarily high battery consumption with ~500 installed apps, because many of them also install their own services, slowing down the device. I want to have them at hand if needed (including their settings) but normally keep them away from the OS. The phone is not rooted.

I find myself using **force stop** for every application once I have finished using them. Is this a good practice? Are there any performance or security benefits of doing this? Is force stopping an app necessary to get it out of RAM?

The "App lock" app is giving an error saying my SD card is full and it is unable to move videos to App Lock. I am using a YU Yunicorn device, which has internal memory only, no Micro SD card. Is there a reason I cannot add these files to the app?

I have an older Android phone and recently updated to Android v5. Since the update I keep receiving a notification on my screen to update the software again (it also automatically downloads a 250mb file). This update however has no effect (it keeps re-installing the same version). I am therefore looking for a way to disable it. A previous post on this site suggested to go to the Application Manager > All > Software Updater and then subsequently to Disable the app and clear the cache. I did this but it had no effect. In fact it made things more complex: - I have now two Software Updater apps (one is v3.19 which I cannot disable, and the other is v4.2 which I turned off) - After disabling v3.19, I cannot do anything anymore when opening it. It is not turned off and all buttons are disabled (see screenshot below).

I recently purchased an LG G5 phone. I am using the "Home with app drawer" home mode because I like having the app drawer. I need to clear the data cache for an individual app. I know that you normally access this via the App Manager, selecting the desired app, and then clicking the "Clear Cache" button. However, when I go into Settings on my phone, I can't find "App Manager". The closest that I can find in Settings is "Apps". This screen lists all of my apps, but when I select one, there is no "Clear Cache" button. How am I supposed to do this?

I am developing an app that requires testing without google play services (I'm on a Samsung S3). I've turned google play services off in Application Manager and tested everything. Afterwards, I went back in and turned it back on, but I can't seem to get my app to recognize that google play services are re-enabled. What ways are there to check it Google Play Services is indeed enabled again on my phone?

So I have this national radio news app. Now I should like to use different apps while listening. This doesn't work. As soon as I open a different app, the news app gets muted, even when all sounds are turned off in the other app. How do I change that?

I am using Android 5.1.1 in a Samsung J7. I want to know which apps are running. I found at least two ways of checking that: 1. Settings -> Applications -> Application manager -> RUNNING 2. Trepn Profiler There are some apps that show up in the list of any of the two methods. But some others show in only one of the two. For instance, Google Maps shows in Trepn Profiler, but not in the other. **What is the explanation for this?**

Mobile phone : Galaxy S4 (T-mobile SGH-M919) running Android 4.4.4, 2GB RAM out of which 520MB is reported as free (as of NOW), 16 GB memory out of which 805 MB is reported as free - memory condition may have been different before 1 week as reported below. I have searched the net and could not find a solution. My problem started couple of months ago on my 4 yr old galaxy S4. It started random reboots with a message that will be something similar to "SIM card can not be detected. RESTART" and this was starting to occur almost everyday. Searching the net for this, i found various answers and clues as to why this could be happening. I removed the SD card that i had started using about 4 months ago, and the random reboots still continued. I was about to buy another phone, but thought i would try one last trick by closing unwanted apps (since heat generated by too many processes was indicated as a possible culprit, in one of the threads i saw earlier). So, one week ago, i went into "Settings ->Application Manager" and hit the "STOP" on few apps that i randomly chose. In 4 years, this is the first time i have attempted this, since i am not familiar with Android, and my phone was working fine for my purposes (of simple call & text). To my surprise, the phone has not rebooted in 1 week now. One of the reasons quoted in a forum about "SIM card not detected problem" was that the phone was overheating. Coincidentally, the weather turned really cold in my area for past 1 week. Now, i am not sure if the reason for the good behavior of my phone is weather or the stopping of some apps. I do not give much credit to the weather theory. So, currently, i want to narrow down the culprit that is causing the random reboots. I have taken a screenshot of the apps that show up in "Settings->App Manager-> Turned OFF applications tab". I have also taken screen shot of all "currently running apps & cached processes" right now. I can compare these photos to the set of apps that would show up after i do an intentional reboot of this mobile (during which phone will go back to the condition as it existed more than a week ago). I expect the "SIM card not detected->Restart" message to show up again randomly, once i reboot this mobile. Question is ---- Is there a way to dump/save the list of apps/processes that are cached/running currently into a text file ? I am not Android savvy and want a simple user friendly solution. Finally, if anyone here has a clue about why my phone has started random reboots in past 2 months, i would like to hear your theories. (BTW, i think i was on android version 4.4.2 and once i did a manual upgrade of software, by going into settings. So, i am pretty sure i upgraded to 4.4.4 sometime within the past 2 months. Not sure if the upgrade could be causing problems because i changed quite a few things in my phone in past 2 months, during an international travel. This included new version of OS, installation of few apps that were useful in my travel, installation of a new SD card slot which was previously empty). Thanks much for reading my entire story :-)

If an android device is stolen by someone who is one of expert android users, in such case, we're not sure that how he can manipulate the stolen android device. In such case, sometimes its suspicious for me. Email apps and banking apps are one of confidential apps. If any apps are locked by application locker or application inbuilt lock, can it be considered that an offender can get access any locked apps at certain scenario? Under certain scenario, an offender can be a hacker, Android Developer or any expert android used? Please look and clarify it. Regards GNS
