Tap the notification, now select keep anyway. It's nothing but Google play store shows it as harmful app as far as I know. I kept it anyway, if you want to get rid of it, root and then uninstall with system app remover from play store. Always take a backup before messing with system apps.

Hi!
Can't disable Evernote. Any way to get rid of this app without root? I'm tired of being asked for updates through the Play store.
You can disable it.
Where? In the app manager?
yes
Can't do it. The disable button is grey.
Not possible without root

Too bad. Thank you!
This may come 2 years late, but I just found a way to disable evernote on N4 . It cannot be done from settining, but if you drag the icon from app drawer to top, it'll allow you to uninstall the update and disable evernote.
PS: non rooted Note4 (6.0.1)
how to remove evernote with adb
I think I actually installed it, and there was no way to uninstall it. Some how these A-holes at evernote got their app to register as a system program. Evernotes forum has their "gurus" literally laughing at us telling us to use it, that it's the only recourse. So after hours of research I found out it's actually simple to remove it and other unwanted bloatware without root access. All you need to do is download free android development tools(adb) and follow the instructions on the link I am providing and you can take anything off your phone or tab within minutes. https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
If you have root,with Magisk manager you can download modules Debloater and with this in Terminal you can uninstall every possible app. I even uninstall stock Message and install Messages from Resurrection remix..
TL;DR Google Play has only the Open option and no way to uninstall app
After updating my I337M from rooted NI2 Kit Kat to rooted OC4 Lollipop, I was unable to properly run Wakelock Detector. It was stock to stock so I didn't wipe factory settings.
Googled a suggestion to move the APK to /system/priv-app so I did that but still the same result.
Now when I want to try uninstall (so as to re-install) there is no option. Under Manage Apps the app isn't even listed. The APK is still under priv-app and I deleted it... still shows up in app drawer.
D'Oh! What else can I do to uninstall it properly?
Sent from my SGH-I337M using XDA Free mobile app
i have the same problem
so ticked off. same here. even paid for the full version because sometimes that fixes issues like this. I can disable or freeze with titanium backup pro but can't uninstall. i think the problems happened after converting to system app. so now I have 2 frozen apps I want off my phone. On top of that the app stopped working after converting to system app. I get an error after the app loads. I emailed the developer and am waiting to hear back.
This days the application App2SD is able correct install Wakelock Detector as private , and it is able to uninstall it if it was installed as private .

Zach, thank you for your sharing your happy experience deleting SecurityLogAgent. After a week of keeping SecurityLogAgent frozen, I'll probably do the same and delete it. The less bloatware, the better.

Did you disable any Facebook apps starting with com.facebook.etc.? I believe these are needed for VR stuff, Oculus belongs to Facebook. There should be 2 of them.

I just received my oculus. I have the GS7 edge. When I connect my phone to the oculus for initial setup, then remove it as instructed, I get a network error. I've taken both to AT&T and have spent 1 1/2 hours on the phone with various people. No one could help. Anyone have any ideas?

Hello!
After the most recent Gear VR update, we noticed that you may be having issues upgrading to the latest version of the Oculus software. This also may affect your ability to download and install content for your Gear VR. This may be due to having some critical Oculus services blocked or disabled. Below are some steps to help enable those services to allow this update and future updates to reach your Samsung device for Gear VR usage.
If you continue to have problems after following the instructions below, please reach out to Oculus Support via https://support.oculus.com and we will work with you to resolve your issue.
Why aren't Gear VR apps installing or updating on my mobile phone?
If Gear VR apps aren't installing on your mobile phone, the most likely reason is that the App Manager and Installer aren't enabled.
What does the App Manager and Installer do?
The App Manager and Installer allow Gear VR apps to be installed on your mobile phone. It also makes sure that the latest versions of Oculus apps are on your mobile phone.
How do I turn on App Manager and Installer ?
To turn on the App Manager and Installer, tap on the "Settings" application, then "Applications" and finally "Application Manager". Make sure you have chosen the "All" category and find the following applications:
com.facebook.appmanager (App Manager)
com.facebook.system (Installer)
Tap into each and make sure they are enabled.
Unable to find com.facebook.system
If you are on Android OS 6.0 (Marshmallow), com.facebook.system may not be visible. Please try the following steps:
1. Navigate to Settings
2. Tap on Application Manager
3. Locate the More menu in the upper right corner
4. Tap Show System Apps
5. This will make com.facebook.system visible and allow you to enable it
The App Manager and the Installer must be enabled before Gear VR apps can be installed and updated on your mobile phone.

This worked great.... Does having the Facebook stuff enabled waste any battery? And can I disable again after installing? Been trying to figure out why nothing would install for days

You nailed it. I had a notification that said com.facebook needs to install. Once I completed the install i could install groove and other apps from the Oculus app store.

This fixed my issue, thank you!
Hi,
Currently working with the Samsung Gear VR on a S6 Edge. Recently, I factory reset my phone due to lack of storage space. When I went to reinstall Oculus everything went through fine but when I try to install apps from the Oculus store it goes through the download process, then when it begins installation it stops and says, "Could not install (app name)." Facebook app manager and Facebook app installer are both enabled and I still get the error. Please help, can't seem to find a solution.
Have you found a solution? We have exactly the same issue with the same equipment.
Guys, Here is the solution, may be the only solution in the internet for this issue.
My device is Samsung S6 edge and Device is Gear VR and Hopefully the solution applies to all the devices with the same issue.
1. Need to install Facebook app and sign in
2. Login to oculus using facebook account
Important part is, it seems some of the service doesn't have the storage permission, what I did was allow storage permission to all the "Oculus" Applications and "Facebook" application which are in direct apps as well as systems apps.
Works fine for me !! Thank you
Every 15-20 minutes, a popup message comes up with telling me there is a software update available. I have already rooted my phone, and attempting to install the update just fails, but the popup continues to come up even when it fails. Is there a package I can disable/freeze or somewhere I can go to get this annoying thing to go away? It's got a notification that appears with a little syncing icon in the bottom corner in the notification bar, so I figure there is something somewhere I can disable, but not sure where to look...
Use a root file explorer to delete this folder system/priv-app/wssyncmldm or you can freeze it.

Removed the folder and reset the phone; notification still came up in the notification bar. Popup also still comes up on the screen.
Got rid of it for me, I also removed the 2 other folders below it. The other wss.... folders. Hope that helps. Edit: forgot I was in the VZW forum, I have att maybe there is another app for updates. Sorry
Try to freeze "SDM", that should do the trick. If it doesn't clear it, then clear the cache for SDM and then freeze it.

Make sure you disable securitylogagent also.
I disabled these two with package disabler pro.
System updates (com.samsung.sdmviewer)
securitylogagent
I don't see this package:
System updates (com.samsung.sdm)
I am still getting the annoying notifications. Search has not revealed any other solutions.

Try to disable diagmonagent in package disabler it should do the trick.
This did not work for me.
I enabled all the packages. I then force stopped, cleared cache, and memory in application manager. I then disabled all three again and restarted.
The next day the popup returned.
In Titanium backup, simply open up both system update packages, freeze them then long press them each till you can select "open system details"
Once you open system details force stop and select notifications
set all notifications to off.
Once completed you can go into settings/ and select System updates, it should FC
Hope this helps.

Yes. Maybe you can disable the same apps going to settings/application manager/ more -system apps/ system updates
As i have located them.
I think this is the fix! I have not received any update notifications since.
More comprehensive instructions?
G935V non-rooted (came from rooted) and I cannot get rid of the OTA notifications. I found and disabled securitylogagent and com.samsung.sdm.sdmviewer but cannot find com.samsung.sdm Still get the notification, can disable temporarily by clearing cache of system updates through system app manager, but they return later. Did someone figure out how to disable update notifications, as they do annoy me! Thank you!
