I found this website: http://www.androidkit.com/steps-to-install-and-uninstall-apk-file-on-android-g1-device
Section 3: Uninstalling the .apk file from the G1 device before installing the same .apk again.
1. In the G1 Phone, Go to Applications Menu ->Settings->Manage Applications.
2. Select the application which you want to Uninistall, and click on the ‘Uninstall’ button.
3. Follow steps 6 and 7 of Section 1.
Section 4: Uninstalling the .apk file (from the Device or Emulator) using adb shell.
There is an adb uninstall command which always shows Failure!!!
Using adb shell :
Important: The device has to be unplugged from USB if you are trying to uninstall from the emulator, else emulator should not be open and device needs to be plugged in the USB of the PC if you are trying to uninstall from the G1 Device. If either of them are not connected the adb shell command will not work
Go to the shell and making sure adb is in PATH:
Go to shell (from cmd->adb shell or directly through a terminal)
#
#cd data
#cd app
#cd ls
You will get a list of installed application with the complete package name of the package containing the main activity. e.g com.company.product.apk
#rm com.company.product.apk
#cd ls
You will not find the application – you just removed it!.

So, when I type:
Cd Data
Cd App
Cd ls
in my command prompt I get:
cd: can't cd to ls
$
as a prompt feedback.

I found an .APK to enable my headphone adapter working ( see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575534 ) via this board ( see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511704 ), and if it doesn't work, I'm taking precautions on how to uninstall it.
Anyone know why it's doing this?
Thanks people.

the command should be "ls" not "cd ls"
also, if you know the package name you could use adb: adb uninstall <package_name>
and if you're just trying to install an app that you already have (such as updating the app) you could use adb and not have to uninstall first with: adb install -r app_name.apk
OK.
I'm just going to make sure before I even install this thing:
http://code.google.com/p/toggleheadset/downloads/detail?name=ToggleHeadset.apk&can=2&q=
This is just a widget, so it won't replace anything in my phone..
If I can't find it on the shell command, I'll be able to uninstall it via the phone like the Date widget I have as well?
Right?
I hid some apps (adb shell pm hide package) back when I got this tablet for my mom and lost the list of everything I hid. She tried to shop the kindle store for books and is getting the error, "The requested action is not permitted. Check parental controls settings and retry."
I don't know if one of the hidden apps is what's causing the issue but can anyone help on this issue?

I'm not sure which apps are required for what services, for sure.
You may find gatesjunior's Debloader tool, here on xda, helpful for seeing which of the apps in sd_shadow's list are hidden/disabled--and re-enabling them.

Oh, hope you'll give it a try! I usually give pm commands from console, but Debloader is great for testing and easily seeing what's hidden/disabled.
Fantastic! Thanks for the replies, I'll check out the Debloater and see if I can find the culprit
Hi, i have a Nexus 6P based on 7.1.1 with Magisk root v14.0 with Magisk manager v14.0.
With the terminal emulator app i'm trying to execute this commands:
Code:
su
pm uninstall org.telegram.messenger
But i got an error: Android.os.DeadObjectException: Transaction failed on small parcel; remote process probably died etc..
But if i connect my Nexus 6P to my pc, and via ADB i try to push this command
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall org.telegram.messenger
It works. I don't know if it's related to Magisk, but i tried to build an app made by that execute "pm uninstall org.telegram.messenger" after "su" to get root shell but nothing, i got only an error on my android monitor: "E/Magisk: Unknow id: pm" and obviously telegram has this package name and it is installed as user app. Someone can help me ?

Are you able to uninstall the normal way thought settings>apps?
Sent from my H1611 using Tapatalk
Using ADB shell i was able to uninstall bloatware apps from my OPPO F9 pro ,and all those apps that i uninstalled using -
Code:
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package_name>
were also those apps being identified by app inspector ,means i was able to see the their package name in app inspector and they were system apps as well but ,there are some other system apps like oppo appstore,compass, oppo theme store,oppo game center,etc those are neither shown in app inspector(idk why) where package information of other system+user apps is available and nor i can delete them ,BUT they are installed in my phone.
I receive the following error while uninstalling these system apps(taking example when i try 2 uninstall game center)-
Code:
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.gamespace
Failure [not installed for 0]
Now , "Failure [not installed for 0]" is the error when i try to uninstall any app that already is uninstalled (OR) doesn't exist on the android, BUT again ,these apps those im facing error to uninstall are actually there in my phone.
You might also wish 2 know that for these same apps ,how do i got the package name like the one in the example;com.coloros.gamespace since its package was not even shown in app inspector(or any other app) ,then i would like 2 tell u that i just searched in google typing "list of oppo bloatware" ,searched for the package name of these apps from websites those app inspector was unable to identify.
If anyone can help me in this issue i would really be thankful
... probably NOT in the S21ULTRA thread....

Not an OPPO thread but you need to look for your phone specific packages with:
adb shell pm list packages
Using the above ADB Shell command, you can print the list of the app package names for all apps installed on your Android device. You can use this command with different parameters to get a more specific list of app packages.
For instance, if you want to list the system apps only, use
adb shell pm list packages -s
In order to list all third-party apps installed on your Android phone or tablet, you issue the following command.
adb shell pm list packages -3
Do you want ADB Shell to show the list of all enabled or disabled apps on your device, try the command with parameters like ‘-d‘ (for disabled apps), ‘-e‘ (for enabled apps), and ‘-u‘ (for uninstalled apps).
adb shell pm list packages -d
adb shell pm list packages -epm list packages
adb shell pm list packages -u
To list app packages with specific keywords filter.
adb shell pm list packages <keywords>
To find the list of apps along with their associated packages, execute the following command
adb shell pm list packages -f
You can easily get a list of group packages by a certain manufacturer, or come common term. For instance, if you want to list all apps by Google, you can use the following command.
adb shell pm list packages | grep 'google'
You can replace “google” with “samsung”, “huawei”, “xiaomi”, “miui”, “evenwell”, “android”, “facebook”, etc. to get desired list of packages.

Thanks for replying bro.
So i got to know that i was getting that "Failure [not installed for 0]" error because the app packages given(for the same apps) those i searched for in google were not the same as for mine device's system apps ,so i got that error.
So when i just opened the list of packages using "pm list packages -___" i got the package names for those apps ,BUT still even now when i try to uninstall
those system apps using adb command with their correct package name i get a new error-
Code:
adb shell
pm uninstall --user 0 <package_name>
Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]
In fact i can't even disable them like usually i can disable other system apps/user apps.
*When i use command pm disable for those apps showing no error-
Code:
adb shell
pm disable-user --user 0 <pkg_name>
Package <pkg_name> new state: disabled-user
*When i get error(maybe not error but app stays in default state with no change) for other system apps-
Code:
adb shell
pm disable-user --user 0 <pkg_name>
Package <pkg_name> new state: default
In short, neither i am able to uninstall them nor i can disable them, if it is because the system isn't giving me permission to do so then is there any other adb command that needed to be executed before these to get access first and then uninstall/disable.
BTW im fully relying on ADB shell to grant permissions or perform any operation ,i don't have root in my phone ,so plz tell if there is any method for non-rooted devices,thx
PLZ help.
without root you wont be able to delete system level apps.
