Is there a way to remove system applications (not just disable) like YouTube?

You need root for that. It's impossible to uninstall a system app without root. For now, disabling is your only option on certain apps like youtube.

you can use this: https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
it doesnt totally remove it from the system but it removes it from the user. its like disabling but you can do any app, not just system apps.

1. adb shell
2. pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of package>
youtubes package is com.google.android.youtube
to totally remove it go into settings > apps > youtube and uninstall updates

Yeah i seen the video on xda's yt channel. Honestly i dont find it that much great if you're constantly having to factory reset and doing everything from scratch again but you are right. Not calling you wrong or anything just imo not really an effective thing.

I'd like to completely remove unwanted apps such as dropbox, 7digital, and wechat from HTC One. How can I do it?
When I did it, it only uninstalled the updates but no the app.
Thank you.

If you're rooted, etc. you can uninstall them with a file explorer such as ES File Manager. You can also use ROM Cleaner here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2247656&highlight=rom+cleaner
If you're not rooted, I don't think you can remove them.

On a non-rooted phone, if you're lucky, you can only hide the apps from the appdrawer.
In order to completely remove unwanted apps, you will need rood access.
The easiest way to uninstall an app completely would be to use Titanium Backup. Simply removing the apk from /system/app will also result in a remove, however the data part might still be on the phone.
You need to gain root access to your phone first. Then use a file explorer, or Titanium Backup to remove any unwanted programs.
If this is your first time rooting a device, try THIS application. I usually don't recommend toolboxes, or programs that gain root for you, but I had incredible success with this one just testing it.
Just be warned, that no one here can give any guarantee that the process will work without any problems.
If you're flashing custom ROMs then the best way, IMO, is to delete anything you don't use, straight from the ROM ... That way when you install the ROM you will be free of the garbage without having to do anything else ... Like mentioned previously though you will require root access to delete system apps.

Hi.
Recently i have tried add another language under Setting > General management > Language and input > Language.
Some apps start update their language including the default Youtube app ( which i disabled, because i use Youtube vanced).
Now that i removed the added language (now it is English only, just like before) but youtube app keep auto reenable itself and there is a notification about the phone is updating language for youtube. I tried disable youtube app again but this keeps happening about once a day.
Can someone help me out?
Ps: I also tried factory reset and clear the cache but nothing works.
Thank you guy.

You can also use that script i found on a spanish site and you will have toi change "uninstall" by "disable" in the file. https://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=1460035
Follow instructions to keep apps you want and everything will be fine.
Hello everyone ,
I tried to debloat my s21 ultra yesterday using the guide in here which uses adb to remove packages , i removed all of the packages listed .
After a reboot , recent apps screen is gone .
I press recent apps button in navigation bar to switch apps and recent apps screen does not appear.
I know that a factory reset would solve my issue but I am trying to find a faster solution.
Any ideas??
Thank you in advance.

Did it uninstall the stock OneUI launcher? If yes, reinstall it with adb
Command:
adb shell pm install-existing com.sec.android.app.launcher
(Or the package name idk i can't remember it 100%)

I didn't know that recent apps was a part of OneUI launcher .
You are a life saver.
adb shell pm install-existing --user 0 com.sec.android.app.launcher
Reinstalling for user 0 did the job.
I Appreciate it.
Have a nice day!

No problem. Since android 9 i think recent apps depend on the launcher.

Is there any replacement for OneUI that allows for recents? I know lawnchair, kiss launcher, etc. exist but none of them seem to include the functionality of recents.

Is there a possibility to have root? Custom recovery? I think that would be the only way to get funtouchos.
Android auto doesnt work on originos .
It's not required to have root or any kind of modifications to disable system apps, it can be disabled, but for a specific user, if you're not sharing the phone with anyone, then it'll be like if you're just disabling the package completely.
You need to use ADB, run the command:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.bbkmusic
Or whatever the package name is that you want to disable. Just be careful, sometimes disabling the wrong package may cause bootloops.
Yeah I know thats why I'm asking here if it is safe to disable those apps. Thanks
