[Feature Request] Option to enable/disable activities, broadcast recievers etc.. #15

Open shadowbone94 opened 6 years ago

shadowbone94 commented 6 years ago

I know its a lot to ask, considering the app to be at its early stages. But I wanted to point out the possibility of enhancing the power of this application in the near future. Because it already gives the data regarding the services, app activities and all, could you make a feature to toggle them ? If so, it could be a powerful alternative to the GSF dependent 'Myandroidtools' as well as the possibly outdated open source application 'PreferencesManager'.

I have high hopes for this app considering how much efficient it is in its early phase. Perhaps you could look into the above request.

This would indeed be an interesting feature, but as you say it might be complex to do, and would only work on rooted phone. I'll consider it but probably not soon. However, if you have a rooted phone and are willing to give a hand, pull requests are more than welcome ;)

@xgouchet I understand the complication with the work, and I really appreciate your willingness to look into it. Thanks.

And yes my device is rooted, but unfortunately I'm no developer. I just happened to mention an interesting feature :smile:. So pull requests and forks are all strangers land to me.

Hopefully you could look into the feature whenever you get free time (as in the Readme :wink:)

I think I am asking a lot.

I personally wanted the ability to modify the manifest xml and repackage as new apk, then sign it.

It will be a very useful feature like the famous non-foss apkcloner, but we prefer not to live with flashy UIs, meaning comparatively less work to developer.

I understand it will be hard for a developer to incorporate such features. But if there exists a native / java library that can do it, it will be very useful.

apktool is a java runtime application that appears to do lot of reversing work, is there any easy to incorporate libs?

What about

Thanks.
