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.

Anyone knows how to disable system apps like huawei browser and app gallery. I used following adb command but failed:

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.

Question S21 Ultra Recent apps Gone ?

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.

I thought you wanted to solve his already solved problem. Sorry, my bad.

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.

Question Remove default music app

Good day fellow vivo owners

Thanks a ton.
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

Feel free to comment some of the other packages that you've removed from your own phone

Removed i manager, after last update ,vivo added app scanning after downloading apps from play store,which is showing ads. I wonder how vivo dare to do that on a premium device

damn, so imanager is the app that causes the apps? thats ludicrous
if they put ads on their own apps its fine, but they're advertising on an app they didnt make

can you please share the exact code you used to disable com.vivo.pem. i tried {adb shell pm disable com.vivo.pem} and i got an error. said file not accessible or found or something similar. thx!

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 <package_to_disable>
My tip for finding apps, hidden apps and their package names is "APK export". It lists all apps including system apps (when set to view them) and the package name. It can be used to saving the APK before delete too.
