Hi,
I have a Samsung Note 8 SM-N950F Smartphone and I hope if I can delete some unwanted apps from a stock Samsung ROM before installing it on my device, I want to remove some Samsung and Google apps.

It would just trip Knox as stock filmware has been altered, if there was a way to do that.
You are better off using a package disabler on the playstore or disable them via adb - https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www....arrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/amp/

You can try Samsung Member Apps from Play Store.Check Diagnostic>Unused Apps>Check which one you never/rarely used>Delete.

Tizen Apps - Phone Models

As many users here are finding Samsung have limited the Gear apps shown to certain devices. As such I thought it would be good to catalog the apps each phone/model can see. This way we can use build.prop modifications to get all the apps we want.
To get apps to show three lines must be edited in the build.prop:
Code:
ro.product.model
ro.product.name
ro.product.device
The following two posts show the two phone models that I have currently tested.
Hope this helps someone.
Edit:
Seems that the S5 model number seems to produce the best selection so far. See below for details.
Phone/Model: Samsung Galaxy Note 2 - US Sprint
Build.prop edits:
Code:
ro.product.model=SPH-L900
ro.product.name=toltespr
ro.product.device=toltespr
Apps: See attached
Phone/Model: Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - UK Vodafone
Build.prop edits:
Code:
ro.product.model=SM-N9005
ro.product.name=hltexx
ro.product.device=hlte
Apps: See attached
Phone/Model: Samsung Galaxy S5 -
Build.prop edits:
Code:
ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SM-G900A
May not be needed but I had them set as they are my defaults.
Code:
ro.product.name=hltexx
ro.product.device=hlte
Apps: See attached
Categories same as for Note 2
Edit:
Some people are reporting issues with Samsung apps upgrading their stock apps to those available on the s5, upgrading s health will stop it from working and you will lose any data when downgrading to your stock version. You have been warned.
Also works with ro.device.model=SAMSUNG-SM-G900T

I don't know myself because I use a note 3 but this thread might be a good starting point for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723862

Don't have any problems with : ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SM-G900A
I've got a S5ized rom for the S4 with everything coming from S5 (apps and so on ...).
Working perfect ! I don't understand why they'd do that, if they want us to stay with the Gear, they should allow us to use most apps available here lol
This is quite a trick!!
I have a Note 2 with stock rom (with root, because with DN3 I couldn't install some apps in my gear 1, so I reverted back to stock).
I use SAMSUNG-SM-G900A in my build.props and almost every day I have new apps coming! absolutely amazing!!:good:
thanks man!
Hey!
Some users which have nearly full access in the gear manager app store to the apps are able to upload the app files of the "free" apps for the peoples they don't have root?
This where really great!
On my Sony Z Ultra I see the Tizen apps and a few will install however the majority of apps will give an
"Installation filed: Try Later. (0) error.
Anyone else have this issue and /or a solution to fix?

You may to get a "certificate-registration.xml" from samsung and then copy the file to your gear in the following directory: "Home/Developer"
Then you're able to install apk's which are not from the gear manager store.
I wrote a guide in german language, so i think it not help you.
Can't write it in english because my english is not so good and not enough to do this
But you can try to look on it:

You can get around this by installing the s5 health service as well to go with it then s5 s health will work for most

[Knox-Patched] Samsung Health 6.3.0.027 for all Samsung Galaxy phones

long time since I last wrote on xda.. just passing by
just bought my brand new Samsung Galaxy Watch Active and set it up together with my Galaxy S9 phone (will jump to the S10 in the near future). while doing so, I jumped across Samsung Health which won't work with tripped Knox as we well know.
I'm making this post to let people have the opportunity to enjoy Samsung Health on their phone, even with Knox tripped - for both Rooted (which could already use it before with a build.prop edit) and Un-rooted users
The official application has been patched in smali to bypass Knox checking.
Note: uninstall previous Samsung Health app before installing the patched one!
Compatibility: all Samsung Galaxy phones (rooted/un-rooted with tripped Knox)
Download: com.sec.android.app.shealth_6.3.0.027_patched_by_xpirt.apk
enjoy!

Great to see you still here mate. This will be handy for many of us. ????
Will it possible for Samsung pass or samsung pay or its much more integrated?
Can't uninstall stock app, only disable it.
If I try to install the patched app it fails because stock is still installed.

My S7 Unrooted:
Cant uninstall the original S-health, so renamed package name of patched one, but apk crash and wont start. (still think that this one cant have a hearth rate and synchronization to work)
https://www.apkhere.com/down/com.gmail.heagoo.apkeditor.pro_1.8.28_free - this one work for me
The best result i had was with App Cloner 1.5.9, check: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-s-health-devices-knox-t3543306/page21 but still no sync and hearth rate...
I'm on the S5 does this include the heart rate monitor?
No note 9 does not work any sensor, cardiac etc

A lot of people have trouble installing this apk over the old one so I was wondering maybe you wouldn't mind releasing the same app but with different package name? It would fix all of those problems easily.
I'm having difficulties installing this app. could someone help?

I'm on the S5 as well. Have you tried the build.prop method first?
https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....de-how-to-s-health-devices-knox-t3543306/amp/
I remember it worked when I last used it.
You can also update the app from the play store and it'll still be fine.
tech details
salut xpirt
Is it possible to share your patch details? I might want to look into other apps which get broken by tima / knox, and this could help nost starting from zero.
thanks,

Is there a "pure" rom out there?

By "pure" i mean a rom that only includes samsung and google stuff nothing more (like no briefing app, or microsoft apps, or facebook apps or anything else really that isn't by samsung or google. Heck I'd prefer if the apps that are from google and samsung are uninstallable too)
In that case you would probably want an android one version of android for your device. I would recommend that you find a 3rd party Custom OS for your device. As all stock Samsung OSes come with Google and Samsung bloatware installed on them as standard

I dont want android one tho, I want oneui 2 without any extra additions.
You could use a Debloat script.
Something like this should work: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73894621&postcount=23
(I would delete the lines for memo and desktop launcher (DeX) because I use those features, go through and make sure you aren't removing something you actually want to use)
If there are still apps you want to remove then use an app like Package List to find their package name, then use ADB to uninstall them.
Other than that, You could always install the Unlocked Version's ROM. I know the N960U1 (US unlocked) has very little bloat from stock, only a handful of Google Apps and I believe Facebook preinstalled.
The N960F XEF variant is similar I believe.

Rooting the Note 9

I have a question about rooting the official Samsung Note 9 to delete some system apps that hate and I don't use that . Is it okay to root the device?
there is a lot of missing information about this topic [emoji53]
Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk
No problem at all, yes some apps cant use because of the security reasons. But those apps not needed.
Just use ADB to remove system apps if that's your only reason to root.

Which Features(Stock) I would lost If I flash Custom ROM?

Hello,
Mine is Samsung Note 9 Exynos Variant. I'm still on official stock OS and haven't tried rooting till now. (Software information Pic attached below)
As I bored with this OS(One UI 2.5), I wanted to flash custom room and try new One UI features.
Mainly I use Secure Folder, Samsung Pass, Samsung Pay, Samsung Health.
Which features I would lost If flash custom rom? Please let me know?
Also couod anyone share rooting guide which helps a noob like me?
All Knox based apps, forever, no going back.
Secure Folder, Samsung Pass, Samsung Pay for sure. For Samsung Health there might be a rooted work around for.
I think this is correct...
Ok, Thank You.
Nobel rom thread mentioned that Secure folder is working.
Can I use other payment apps(UPI) and banking applications safely?

If you can bypass root detection, then yes.
