[Q] Removing System Apps

Howdy,
Does anybody know how do I remove a system app on Samsung ATIV S?
I have installed the following system apps (one that appear in Settings|System).
Samsung apps:
Contacts import
Additional call settings
Advanced text messages
Nokia apps (managed to install them via SysApps Pusher; some one them work, some don't):
Audio
Glance
Storage check
It is possible to remove these components without re-flashing the phone?

Yes, go to date & time, set the date 100 years in the future, try to open one of the system apps you want to delete, a prompt will open that you need to either buy or delete the app (Windows Phone store DRM). Click delete and voila, the app is gone. Set the date back to the correct date after you're done. Be careful with this.

Fantastic. Worked like a charm, thanks pal!
1. Went to Settings|date+time
2. Toggled Set automatically off and set the date to 100+1 years forward.
3. Switched to Settings|System and tapped system apps like Beats Audio from HTC one by one
For each of the tapped apps I've got a message like:
Problem with app
There's a problem with <TappedAppName>. You can first try to buy the app, but if that doesn't work, you'll need to uninstall the app and then install it again.
uninstall buy

Click to collapse
4. Clicked uninstall for each one, and voila! they were removed without me needing to restart the phone.
5. Moved back to Settings|date+time and changed the year back to 2013.
Many thanks!
The only issue is that after that I've got a message when I started Mail app that there's been an error syncing my mail, whoa, the last time it synced was 100 years in the future, Restarting the phone seems to have solved the problem.
P.S.: Too bad Glance doesn't work with Samsung. I live the feature a lot, it's available on my wife's Nokia 620.
Glad it worked, It's indeed a shame Glance doesn't work on the Ativ S, Nokia uses special drivers for this. The only way we could have this feature if someone made a third party app that could do this or that someone manages to interop-unlock the Nokia Lumia series so we could copy these drivers to our Ativ S, but even then it's not a guarantee it will work.

Lumia 520 how to get Amber

Okay so, I just got my sister to buy 2 Lumia 520's for my nieces for Christmas.
I installed the preview for developers app on both and updated them to 8.0.10521.155
The versions for OS, Firmware Hardware, Radio and SOC match exactly on both devices. And on both I can close programs from the multi task preview.
However only one of them installed amber. Actually I think it just did it this morning because the store showed like 19 updates and they were all nokia apps extras+info and so forth. So I of course allowed the download. But so far have not seen those updates available on the other device.
So on settings Extras+Info, one of them shows Amber but the other one still shows 1.9.1.42
I've attached screen grabs from both
Then (what you can't see from the screen grab) at the bottom if I tap Additional Info
the one that does have amber, also shows Application Version 3.3.3.2 at the bottom
Thanks for any advice.
you can either just wait for the updates to show up (the store takes some time) or download Sysapp Pusher and update extras&infos, display etc manually.
If you have the same firmware on both Lumia 520, then you are with the Lumia Amber Firmware on both phones.
Update extras+info app via SysApp Pusher app.

Any way of installing xaps that are removed from the store?

I'd like to install a couple of very useful apps that were removed from the store (MS Health and Fitness and Glance Background Beta). I've found the xaps but everytime I tried it says there was a problem with the company application and can't install. Also they can't be deployed with WP deployment tool for developers.
Any other trick/hack that I'm missing?
Thank you guys!
glance background beta is useless on W10M... picture on glance screen now is part of glance settings... also Microsoft Health is available for W10M...
if you use 8.1, try install glance background via sysapppusher or try https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps/glance-background/9wzdncrfhw46
I'm on wp8.1 (lumia 920). Microsoft Health is different from the one I said. I'll try what you suggested

I've tried, but the store says the app is not available for my phone, which is pretty weird as I have it installed until I downgraded it to wp8.1
I acidently unistalled the MSN healt and fitness app from my lumia 830, but i want it back. It has the lock screen stepcount.
I have tried Dev unlock, other things but had not any luck.
Will factrory reset bring it back?

Makeup, Home Decor and Sunglass Shack???

So, updated to the official Android 10 / OneUI2.0 build yesterday (XEO on Multi OXM via SamMobile and Odin) and just been looking at restricting background app usage and came across 'Makeup, Home Decor and Sunglass Shack' with a Bixby icon.
Anyone else got this in Settings > Apps?
I've uninstalled updates and it disappeared...
Update, went to Galaxy Apps and checked for updates - it's an AR app / update delivered via The Galaxy App store.
It's an AR app. I tried to force start the app and it just crashed saying couldn't add new items.
If you still have this problem, then just update the software on your device. After the update, I lost this problem.

Can't launch Android Auto app

I have problem with Android Auto on Anroid 10. It looks like AA is preinstalled because in the Settings>Apps & Notifications I can deactivate the application or uninstall updates. However, I don't see the icon in the installed applications. I found that solution should be to turn on Autolaunch option in Additional Settings in the App, but I don't have that option there. Is it possible that this is due to the fact that AA is not officially supported in the Czech Republic? Any idea how to solve it?
