as the title says,
my problem is that the latest version of market prevents me from using market unlock so many apps can not be installed from my country .. but with uninstalling the market update and running it everything works fine, now the problem is that the market keeps updating itself to the latest version, is there any way to prevent this ?
i found some posts saying that typing "pm disable com.android.vending.updater" in a terminal emulator would prevent it does this work for the new google play as well ? and how to do it on the note ?
Maybe you can try freezing Market Updater app using some free app manager like AntTek App Manager from the market. Or if you have Titanium Backup Pro even better. Hope this helps.
will try this method
i have titanium backup, what should i do?

You can freeze apps using titanium only if u have bought the pro version.. if u did then go to batch and select freeze apps option and freeze market updater..
I tried to use easy uninstaller and offers not much help.
Please kindly shed me some lights.
Many thanks in advance.
Go to settings->apps and click on the app you wish to remove and then disable/uninstall. Note some system apps cannot be disabled.
If you have root access you can disable and/or uninstall any app through a third party tool like titanium backup.

Hi, I tried to remove the Bloatware app Facebook. But Titanium Backup PRO is not able to remove it. I get an error message that the APK file cannot be found.
Anyone already experience how to remove the bloatware and what bloatware apps are save to remove, like HiSense, Google Books, Google Drive, etc.

Clear that Titanium Backup does not run without root!
Do you have any concrete tipps/hints which uninstallers to be used? It looks like EMUI from Huawei is something special here. I am used to Google Nexus before and CM. And there it was much easier...

The app warn you from disable apps you shouldn't?
I read that freeze with ADB is most powerful method. so what better?
still I try to find list of app that safe to freeze.
Carrier-branded Galaxy S9 models come with a ton of bloatware that you usually can't get rid of without rooting. With a little digital elbow grease, however, there is a way to disable bloatware on your S9 or S9+, and it's a lot safer that attempting to root and modify you precious device.
Package disablers are a great way to disable useless bloatware and free up RAM on your smartphone. Unfortunately, they can be a little dangerous to use, as carelessly disabling the wrong package can cause your S9 to act erratically or even freeze up entirely. Thankfully, there's a safe and painless way to disable over 120 bloatware apps and packages thanks to XDA user BAYmustafa96.
Step 1Download the Bloatware Remover File
First up, you'll need to download an XML file which automatically disables bloatware apps by way of BK Package Disabler for Samsung. The file was originally created by BAYmustafa96, but we've edited it to clean things up a bit and make it even safer. So to start, tap the following link from your Galaxy S9 or S9+.
Download the modified XML file for BK Package Disabler
Step 2 Install BK Package Disabler for Samsung
Now it's time to download BK Package Disabler (Samsung) by WakaSoftware. You can either go to the Play Store and do a search, or simply tap on the link below to purchase the app. Please note that BK Package Disabler needs a companion app to function, so don't open it just yet and proceed to the next step.
Install BK Package Disabler (Samsung) for $2.49 from the Google Play Store
Step 3 Install BK Plugin 2
Because of some changes by Samsung, BK Package Disabler for Samsung requires a separate add-on app to fully function. Don't worry, however, as its sister app, BK Plugin 2, is totally free to download. Once again, feel free to either do a search on the Play Store, or head to the link below.
Download BK Plugin 2 for free from the Google Play Store
Step 4 Grant BK Plugin 2 Administrator Privileges
Before opening BK Package Disabler for Samsung, you'll need to grant its sister app administrator privileges. Open BK Plugin 2 to get the ball rolling, then simply tap on "Activate It" within the initial setup prompt. You'll now be taken to a Device Administrator page, so tap on "Activate" to finish setting up. You can now open BK Package Disabler and proceed with de-bloating your S9
Step 5 Disable Bloatware
Now that you've got both BK Package Disabler and BK Plugin 2 installed and enabled, go ahead and open the former, then tap on the three-dot menu icon on the upper-right corner of the screen. From there, select "Import from XML."
A popup window will now appear, so tap on "Import from XML," then tap on "Select Path" on the prompt that appears. Next, head to the Download folder to retrieve the XML file you downloaded earlier.
Within the "Download" folder, tap on the XML file and select "Import" in the prompt box. The XML file will now proceed to automatically disable more than 120 bloatware apps for you. You'll be taken to the app's main page when it's done, so scroll down and verify by looking for bloatware that's been checked off and disabled. You're now free to exit the app after, and go on with the rest of your day.
Please bear in mind that this process is automated, so be sure to carefully check for frequently used apps —like Bixby, Adapt Sound, and Photo Editor — that might've gotten disabled. If that turns out to be the case, just open the BK Package Disabler app, scroll through the list and find the app you're missing, then simply tap on the box next to it re-enable it.
I had this installed on my S8+, however, with my new S9+ I am getting an activation error when both apps are downloaded from Google Play. "Version 1.1.5: Fail: Invalid package name...." Anyone else having this issue, and if so, how did you fix?

Yep, with BK Disabler. I've tried it every which way, even hanging upside down and it still hasn't worked. Same error each time.

Also just to clarify I am using the "BK Package Disabler (Samsung) by wakasoftware and it is on version 2.4.2
Then the BK plugin 2 is by MobizSystems and that's the version 1.1.5

Is there some way I can reset the permissions so I can accept again? (I don't know, just shooting stuff at the wall and hoping it sticks.)
Edit: I'm on the same version and with the same dev.
Maybe a difference between exynos and snapdragon?
Which one have you got?
I have the Sprint S9+ so it is the Snapdragon version. I had to do a factory reset a couple of times to activate my S9+. Using the Samsung transfer with the cable plugged into both devices caused the S9+ activation to fail so after another factory reset I reinstalled via Google cloud and Samsung cloud. Not sure if it was a related to being a S8+ Oreo beta tester or not. Never had root on the device. I am using the "BK Package Disabler (Samsung) by wakasoftware version 2.4.2, and the BK plugin 2 is by MobizSystems version 1.1.5.
WORKING: Anyway, I was able to install BK Package Disabler (Samsung) by doing the "owner" steps shown when the BK Disabler failed, and BK Disabler is WORKING. However on my lockscreen I have a "This device is managed by your Organization" message. BK is working, but i dislike the lockscreen message. I discovered that I cannot backup/restore my system from either Google Cloud or Samsung Cloud....Have not tried another factory reset.
I also tried a different disabler called "Package Disabler Pro (Samsung)" as an alternative and it too failed.
I think the issue is the Snapdaragon variant is causing the activation error on any of these disablers. Has anyone tried to reach out to the app owner to see if they know about this?

Snapdragon.
If we cannot disable, maybe we can uninstall. Yes I know we dont have root, but maybe this would work as an alternative: https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/.
The Reddit page the above references is located at https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/6ftg72/want_to_completely_disableuninstall_those_pesky/
Sure you could do it with ADB (no root needed).
But its laborious
I just used package disabler pro. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pdp.singleplay

I agree. I don't want to go this route, but may be an alternative. I had emailed the app owners to make them aware. I believe the activation failure has to do with the Snapdragon processor.

What processor do you have? Snapdragon is U.S., and non-U.S. has the Exynos.
Everyone - if you are having the activation problem, what processor are you on?

I bought is, and I can confirm it does work on the Snapdragon version of the S9+. Only sucks that I had bought the other 2 disabler apps mentioned in this string earlier did not work.
Not sure the .XML file mentioned in the initial post can be imported .
I've used the "S8 Delboat Bloatware Thread" on the T-mobile S9. It worked. This method doesn't uninstall officially but it removes them for USER 0. I didn't need to download a app to remove bloatware. I still got the tmobile update. So it's fine for me.
Exynos version here on S9 plus, getting the same error when trying to activate the license: Fail: Invalid package name.
Weird guys.
Some Exynos works some not.
Some SNapdragon works. Some not.
Can't explaint at the moment sorry.
WIll try to investigate whats the problem is when i am home.
This didn't work for me either, however, I was able to make Package Disabler Pro + (had to purchase unfortunately) work, and it is able to import the same xml file as well
Package disabler pro worked for me. Imported the XML, but it was very "aggressive". Disabled chrome, YouTube, and a lot of other usefull stuff that I would not consider bloatware.
Has anyone been able to successfully use a package disabler without root?
Nevermind. Got it working.
Which one did you use. Package disabler pro isn't working. I use CCSWE. Does the job well.

Do you really need root for that app? I was going to buy the pro key but I noticed it said you need to have root access. Thanks
I use this one

You have to use adb commands to set as owner app AFTER you remove all your accounts
