If you use other tools to block app components, you can use this tools to import these disabled components. Clicking on this option triggers a search for disabled components and will list apps with components disabled by user. For safety, all the apps are unselected by default. You can manually select the apps in the list and re-apply the blocking through App Manager.
Be careful when using this tool as there can be many false positives. Choose only the apps that you are certain about. Import from Watt Import configuration files from Watt , each file containing rules for a single package and file name being the name of the package with. Import from Blocker Import blocking rules from Blocker , each file containing rules for a single package. These files have a. One-click option to remove all rules configured within App Manager.
This will enable all blocked components, app ops will be set to their default values and permissions will be granted. Import or export the KeyStore used by App Manager. This is a Bouncy Castle KeyStore with bks extension. If you need to import a key from these KeyStores, use the relevant options outlined above.
Scanner page appears after clicking on the scanner button in the App Info tab. External APK files can also be opened for scanning from file managers, web browsers, etc. It scans for trackers and libraries, and displays the number of trackers and libraries as a summary.
It also displays checksums of the APK file as well as the signing certificate s. AM only scans an app statically without prejudice. The app may provide the options for opting out, or in some cases, certain features of the tracker may not be used at all by the app e. F-Droid , or some apps may simply use them as placeholders to prevent the breaking of certain features e.
Fennec F-Droid. The intention of the scanner is to give you an idea about what the APK might contain. It should be taken as an initial step for further investigations.
Clicking on the first item i. All classes can also be viewed by clicking on the Toggle Class Listing menu. A sneak-peek of each class can be viewed by simply clicking on any class item. Due to various limitations, it is not possible to scan all the components of an APK file.
This is especially true if an APK is highly obfuscated. The scanner also does not check strings or website signatures. The second item lists the number of trackers along with their names. Clicking on the item displays a dialog containing the name of trackers, matched signatures, and the number of classes against each signature. Some tracker names may have 2 prefix which indicates that the trackers are in the ETIP stand-by list i.
The third item lists the number of libraries along with their names. The information are mostly taken from IzzyOnDroid repo. See also: FAQ: Tracker classes vs tracker components.
At the bottom of the page, there is a special item denoting the number of missing signatures i. The missing signatures are the ones that AM has failed to match against any known libraries. The number itself has no particular meaning as many libraries contain hundreds of classes, but clicking on the item will bring up a dialog containing the signatures which is helpful in inspecting the missing signatures.
This feature is only intended for people who know what a missing signature is and what to do with it, average users should just ignore it. Interceptor can be used to intercept communication between apps using Intent. It works as a man-in-the-middle between the source and the destination apps.
It offers a feature-complete user interface for editing Intent s. Development of interceptor is still in progress. It can only intercept activities for now. Intent filters are used by the apps to specify which tasks they are able to perform or which tasks they are going to perform using other apps.
To find the right applications, the file manager will create an Intent with filters such as MIME type and ask the system to retrieve the matched applications that is able to open this filter. The system will search through the Manifest of the installed applications to match the filter and list the app components that are able to open this filter in our case the PDF. At this, either the file manager will open the desired app component itself or use a system provided option to open it.
If multiple app components are able to open it and no default is set, you may get a prompt where you have to choose the right app component. Action specifies the generic action to perform such as android. Applications often declare the relevant actions in the Manifest file to catch the desired Intents. The action is particularly useful for broadcast Intent where it plays a vital rule.
In other cases, it works as an initial way to filter out relevant app components. Generic actions such as android. VIEW and android. SEND are widely used by apps. So, setting this alone may match many app components. It can be web links, file location, or a special feature called content. Contents are an Android feature managed by the content providers. Data are often associated with a MIME type. MIME type of the data.
This is similar to action in the sense that it is also used by the system to filter app components. This has no further benefits. Unlike action , there can be more than one category.
Clicking on the plus button next to the title allows adding more categories. Flags are useful in determining how system should behave during the launch or after the launch of an activity. An average user should avoid this as it requires some technical background.
The plus button next to the title can be used to add one or more flags. Extras are the key-value pairs used for supplying additional information to the destination component. You can add extras using the plus button next to the title. Represents the entire Intent as a URI e.
Some data cannot be converted to string, and as a result, they might not appear here. List all the activity components that matches the Intent. This is internally determined by the system rather than AM.
The launch button next to each component can be used to launch them directly from AM. Resend the edited Intent to the destination app. This may open a list of apps where you have to select the desired app.
The result received from the target app will be sent to the source app. As a result the source app will not know if there was a man-in-the-middle. Shared preferences can be edited in this page. Clicking any item on the list opens the edit dialog where the item can be edited.
The floating action button on the bottom-right corner can be used to add a new item. To save or delete the file, or to discard current changes, the respective options in the menu can be used.
Root users. If superuser permission has been granted to App Manager, it can already execute privileged code without any problem. The server used as an interface between system and App Manager is still running in root mode.
This is a known issue and will be fixed in a future version of App Manager. Unlike other options, it is not visible until explicitly enabled by the user. If developer options is enabled, you can use the search box in Android Settings to locate it as well. This option is available within Android Settings as well but like the location of the developer options, it also differs from device to device.
In most devices, it is located at the bottom of the settings page, inside About Phone. But the best way to find it is to use the search box. After locating the developer options , enable Developer option if not already.
After that, scroll down a bit until you will find the option USB debugging. Use the toggle button on the right hand side to enable it. At this point, you may get an alert prompt where you may have to click OK to actually enable it.
You may also have to enable some other options depending on device vendor and ROM. Here are some examples:. Enable Allow ADB debugging in charge only mode as well. When connecting to your PC or Mac, you may get a prompt saying Allow access to device data?
Often the USB debugging mode could be disabled automatically by the system. In case USB Debugging is greyed out, you can do the following:. After that, you can simply type. In this section, I will use adb to denote. In some Android phones, an alert prompt will be appeared with a message Allow USB Debugging in which case, check Always allow from this computer and click Allow.
You should see working on ADB mode toast message at the bottom. If not, remove AM from the recents and open AM again from the launcher. To do that, connect your device to your PC or Mac and run the following command:. Replace adb with. Lineage OS users. You can also choose to back up an app multiple times with custom names or for all users. It is also located inside the options menu in the App Info tab. You can configure custom backup location in the settings page in which case the backups will be located at the AppManager folder in the selected volume.
If one or more selected apps do not have any backup, the Restore and Delete Backup options will not be displayed. Backup options internally known as backup flags let you customise the backups on the fly. However, the customisations will not be remembered for the future backups. If you want to customise this dialog, use Backup Options in the Settings page. Internal data folders should always be backed up if you are going to back up the external data folders.
However, it could be useful to back up only the external folders if the app in question downloads a lot of assets from the Internet. You should always disable this option to ensure that your backups are not modified by any third-party applications.
However, this would only work if you enabled encryption. See also: Settings: Encryption. Backup respects all the backup options except Skip signature checks. If base backups i. If Backup Multiple is set, you have an option to input the backup name, or you can leave it blank to use the current date-time. When restoring backups for multiple packages, you can only restore the base backups see backup section for an explanation.
However, when restoring backups for a single package, you have the option to select which backup to restore. If All users option is set, AM will restore the selected backup for all users in the latter case but in the former case, it will restore base backups for the respective users. Delete backup only respects All users option and when it is selected, only the base backups for all users will be deleted with a prompt.
When deleting backups for a single package, another dialog will be displayed where you can select the backups to delete. Activities, services, broadcast receivers also known as receivers and content providers also known as providers are jointly called app components. More technically, they all inherit the ComponentInfo class.
AM blocks application components or tracker components using a method called Intent Firewall IFW , it is very superior to other methods such as pm PackageManager , Shizuku or any other method that uses the package manager to enable or disable the components. If a component is disabled by the latter methods, the app itself can detect that the component is being blocked and can re-enable it as it has full access to its own components. Many deceptive apps actually exploit this in order to keep the tracker components unblocked.
On the other hand, IFW is a true firewall and the app cannot detect if the blocking is present. It also cannot re-enable it by any means. AM uses the term block rather than disable for this reason. Therefore, Watt can detect blocked components by default but Blocker can only detect them if you enable IFW in its settings page. In that case, you can still import them from the settings page.
But components blocked by the Android System or any other tools are displayed in the App Details page within the component tabs. In v2. But since there is no way to distinguish between components blocked by third-party apps and components blocked by the System, you should be very careful when choosing app. They are not unblocked if blocked using pm or Shizuku method and blocked again. But if you unblock a component in the App Details page , it will be reverted back to default state —- blocked or unblocked as described in the corresponding app manifest —- using both IFW and pm method.
But this option is only available from v2. When you block a component in the App Details page , the blocking is not applied by default. It is only applied when you apply blocking using the Apply rules option in the top-right menu.
If you enable instant component blocking , blocking will be applied as soon as you block a component. If you choose to block tracker components, however, blocking is applied automatically regardless of this setting.
You can also remove blocking for an app by simply clicking on Remove rules in the same menu in the App Details page. Since the default behaviour gives you more control over apps, it is better to keep instant component blocking option disabled. All app components are classes but not all classes are components. In fact, only a few of the classes are components. That being said, scanner page displays a list of trackers along with the number of classes, not just the components.
In all other pages, trackers and tracker components are used synonymously to denote tracker components, i. Tracker classes cannot be blocked. They can only be removed by editing the app itself. Some apps may misbehave due to their dependency to tracker components blocked by AM. From v2. However, in previous versions, there is no such options. To unblock these tracker components, first go to the App Details page of the misbehaving app. Then, switching to the Activities tab, click on the Remove rules options in the top-right menu.
All the blocking rules related to the components of the app will be removed immediately. Alternatively, if you have found the component that is causing the issue, you can unblock the component by clicking on the unblock button next to the component name.
If you have enabled instant component blocking in Settings, disable it first as Remove rules option will not be visible when it is enabled. If you have Google Play Services com. Unfortunately, yes. However, as of v2. You should see working on ADB mode toast message in the bottom. If you see it, you can safely stop the server. Sadly, no. ADB has limited permissions and controlling application components is not one of them.
Here are some reasons for not considering Shizuku which now has Apache 2. Bloatware are the unnecessary apps supplied by the vendor or OEM and are usually system apps. These apps are often used to track users and collect user data which they might sell for profits. System apps do not need to request any permission in order to access device info, contacts and messaging data, and other usage info such as your phone usage habits and everything you store on your shared storage s.
You can disable a few permissions from the Android settings but be aware that Android settings hides almost every permission any security specialist would call potentially dangerous. If the bloatware were user apps, you could easily uninstall them either from Android settings or AM. Uninstalling system apps is not possible without root permission. You can also uninstall system apps using ADB, but it may not work for all apps.
AM can uninstall system apps with root or ADB the latter with certain limitations, of course , but these methods cannot remove the system apps completely as they are located in the system partition which is a read-only partition. If you have root, you can remount this partition to manually purge these apps but this will break Over the Air OTA updates since data in the system partition has been modified. There are two kind of updates, delta small-size, consisting of only the changes between two versions and full updates.
You can still apply full updates, but the bloatware will be installed again, and consequently, you have to delete them all over again. Besides, not all vendors provide full updates. Another solution is to disable these apps either from Android settings no-root or AM, but certain services can still run in the background as they can be started by other system apps using Inter-process Communication IPC. One possible solution is to disable all bloatware until the service has finally stopped after a restart.
However, due to heavy modifications of the Android frameworks by the vendors, removing or disabling certain bloatware may cause the System UI to crash or even cause bootloop, thus, soft bricking your device. You may search the web or consult the fellow users to find out more about how to debloat your device.
The profiles page has an option to create new profiles from one of the presets. The presets consist of debloating profiles which can be used as a starting point to monitor, disable, and remove the bloatware from a proprietary Android operating system. In most cases, you cannot completely debloat your device. AM currently supports blocking activities, broadcast receivers, content providers, services, app ops and permissions, and in future I may add more blocking options.
Maintaining a database should be the best choice when it comes to storing data. For now, several tsv files with each file having the name of the package and a. Due to this abstraction, it should be easier to switch to database or encrypted database systems in future without changing the design of the entire project.
The format below is used internally within App Manager and is not compatible with the external format. This the format is essentially the same as above except for the first item which is the name of the package.
The exported rules have a different format than the internal one and should not be copied directly to the conf folder. Read the corresponding guide to understand how it works. Log viewer is essentially a front-end for logcat. It can be used to filter logs by tag or pid process ID , or even by custom filters. Log levels AKA verbosity can also be configured.
You can also save, share and manage logs. Lock App Manager with the screen lock configured for your device. You can set any mode for any app ops that your device supports, either from the 1-click ops page or from the app ops tab.
You can now easily add selected apps to an existing profile using the batch operations. Most of the tags used in this tab are also clickable, and if you click on them, you will be able to look at the current state or configure them right away. Sort and filter options are now replaced by List Options which is highly configurable, including the ability to filter using profiles.
Interested in knowing about your device in just one page? Go to the bottom of the settings page. Not interested in all the features that AM offers?
You can disable some features in settings. AM now has more than 19 languages! New languages include Farsi, Japanese and Traditional Chinese. You can now import external signing keys in AM! For security, App Manager has its own encrypted KeyStore which can also be imported or exported. As a result, the option to decrypt APKM files has been removed. Profiles finally closes the related issue. Profiles can be used to execute certain tasks repeatedly without doing everything manually.
A profile can be applied or invoked either from the Profiles page or from the home screen by creating shortcuts. There are also some presets which consist of debloating profiles taken from Universal Android Debloater. Known limitations. Intent Intercept works as a man-in-the-middle between source and destination, that is, when you open a file or URL with another app, you can see what is being shared by opening it with Interceptor first.
You can also add or modify the intents before sending them to the destination. Additionally, you can double-click on any exportable activities in the Activities tab in the App Details page to open them in the Interceptor to add more configurations. Known limitation Editing extras is not currently possible. App manager now supports multiple users! For now, this requires root or ADB. But no-root support is also being considered. If you have multiple users enabled and click on an app installed in multiple profiles, an alert prompt will be displayed where you can select the user.
Thanks to the contributors, we have one more addition to the language club: French. You can add more languages or improve existing translations at Weblate. If App Manager crashes, you can now easily report the crash from the notifications which opens the share options.
Crashes are not reported by App Manager, it only redirects you to your favourite Email client. In settings page, you can set install locations such as auto default , internal only and prefer external. In settings page, you can choose to sign APK files before installing them.
You can also select which signature scheme to use in the APK signing option in settings. Known limitation Currently, only a generic key is used to sign APK files. As promised, it is now possible to select splits. AM also provides recommendations based on device configurations. If the app is already installed, recommendations are provided based on the installed app. It is also possible to downgrade to a lower version without data loss if the device has root or ADB.
But it should be noted that not all app can be downgraded. Installer is also improved to speed up the installation process, especially, for root users. This is useful if the app has introduced tracker components, new permissions, etc. Known Limitations. Exodus page is now replaced with scanner page. Scanner page contains not only a list of trackers but also a list of used libraries. This is just a start. In the future, this page will contain more in depth analysis of the app.
Root users can access this option from the overflow menu in the main page. I will gradually add documentations using my own knowledge. However, some functions should be understandable by their name. Thanks to the contributors, AM now has more than 12 languages. More tags are added in the app info tab such as KeyStore apps with KeyStore items , Systemless app apps installed via Magisk , Running apps that are running.
For external apk, two more options are added namely Reinstall and Downgrade. Now it is possible to share an apk via Bluetooth. But like the similar option in the system settings, this operation will clear all app data.
As stated above, exodus has been replaced with scanner. It is now possible to sort and filter processes in this tab. Also, the three big buttons are replaced with an easy-to-use three dot menu.
Previously the memory usage was wrong which is fixed in this version. Toybox an alternative to busybox is bundled with AM. Component blocker seemed to be problematic in the previous version, especially when global component blocking is enabled. The issues are mostly fixed now. The component blocking mechanism is no longer compatible with v2.
If you have this version, upgrade to v2. After that, enable global component blocking and disable it again. Value of various app ops depend on their parent app ops. If an app has the target API 23 or less, its permissions cannot be modified using the pm grant … command.
Therefore, for such apps, option to toggle permission has been disabled. The signature tab is improved to support localization. It also displays multiple checksums for a signature. Manifest no longer crashes if the size of the manifest is too long.
Generated manifest are now more accurate than before. Bundled app formats such as apks and xapk are now supported. You can install these apps using the regular installation buttons. For root and adb users, apps are installed using shell, and for non-root users, the platform default method is used. In the Settings page, a new option is added which can be used to remove all blocking rules configured within App Manager.
Known Limitation Often the App Ops tab may not be responsive. This should dramatically increase the execution time. Known Limitation AM can often crash or become not responsive.
Known Limitation Not all translations are verified yet. Install app only for the current user at the time of restoring backups. Support for split apks is also added. Data backup feature is now considered unstable.
If you encounter any problem, please report to me without hesitation. Now, any app with android. Still, the app with this permission cannot grant or revoke permissions actually mode of operation for apps other than itself with limited capacity, of course.
To modify the ops of other app, the app needs android. So, you cannot grant it via root or ADB, the permission is only granted to the system apps. There are very few apps who support disabling permissions via app ops.
The best one to my knowledge is AppOpsX. The main visible difference between my app AppManager and this app is that the latter also provides you the ability to revoke internet permissions by writing ip tables. One crucial problem that I faced during the development of the app ops API is the lack of documentation in English language.
Figure C. AppOpsManager can be used to manage permissions in Settings app. AppOpsManager is also useful in determining if a certain permission or operation is granted to the application. Most of the methods of AppOpsManager are accessible to the user app but unlike a system app, it can only be used to check permissions for any app or for the app itself and start or terminating certain operations.
Moreover, not all operations are actually accessible from this Java class. It also holds necessary data structures such as PackageOps and OpEntry. PackageOps holds OpEntry for a package, and OpEntry , as the name suggests, describes each operation.
AppOpService is completely hidden from a user application but accessible to the system applications. As it can be seen in Figure C. It also has Shell which is actually the source code of the appops command line tool. If no custom values are present in appops.
AppOpsManager stands for application operations manager. It consists of various constants and classes to modify app operations. See also: AppOpsManager documentation. While they denote each operation, the operations are not necessarily unique. Vendors may define their own op based on their requirements. MIUI is one of the vendors who are known to do that. Whether an operation is unique is defined by sOpToSwitch.
