App Freezer

[ahmadmll]

Is there a way that freeze a special app by automagic?
I can create flow that rename .apk to .apk.bak but by this way we can disable app not freeze and it need to reboot device after rename.
have you an other way???

Hi,

You can disable/enable an app using Execute Root Command: pm disable <package name> and enable again using Execute Root Command: pm enable <package name>.

Following post lists some more actions that might be interesting:

Execute Root Command: pm lists all available options of the pm command in the log of Automagic.

I searched on internet and i understand that we can freeze app by rename app apk file to apk.bak,this way need to restart after renaming.

Hi,

Execute Root Command: pm disable <package name> works for me. I assume it also kills the running processes of the app.
For example to disable Twitter:
Execute Root Command: pm disable com.twitter.android

This removes the Twitter app from the app drawer (on stock Android 4.2).
