Has anyone found an alternative apk to package disabler pro? - Off-topic

Ok so, I have purchased (package disabler pro) 3 times from google play. It seems Everytime, I get a new device it makes me purchase the app again. And now it's not even in the google playstore. Dev wants me to purchase again. And I refuse to do so.. My question is is there another app that works.

Why you need to purchase it 3 times ?? When you linked your Gmail account that you have used to purchase certain apps the apps doesn't require you to buy it anymore Google playstore download the license key automatically for it
also you can just use command to remove bloatware
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.opera.browser

Because the dev deletes the app to make you have to purchase again with new key. Well yeah if I had a computer, I could do that but I don't

And it's not for bloatware it’s for disabling updates

lockscreen/homescreen ads

I'm interested in getting xz1 compact however in doing my research I'm seeing a few complaints of Sony pushing ads through one of their pre-installed apps. And it can't be disabled.
Is this true, how many of have seen ads? And if yes can be disabled complain?
I'd hate to spend $500 on a phone and then forced to endure ads.

It's an app that uses standard Android notifications to occasionally highlight some Sony products.
It doesn't inject ads into other apps, or anything like that.
You can disable it via ADB with:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.entrance
I've never seen any ad on that phone that didn't came from any program I used.

Question is it possible to use google photos instead of the mi gallery app ?

Hi
Anyway that i could remove the mi gallery app and start using google photos instead ?
If i take a photo and press on the photo , then the gallery starts up , want to start google photos instead ?
You could only remove it if you have root. Why would you want to, just open Google photos. You can probably hide apps also

You have super cool editing tools in gallery app of miui. like photoshop removing persons , erase whatever, sky replacement etc... it is really powerful and great app. but if you really want to yes you can remove it and set up google photos as default gallery app.
You can remove any app without root with adb tools. Just dont remove system apps.!
First go to settings/apps/manage apps/click on the 3 dots in the top right corner/default apps/gallery/select google photos
ADB Commands:
adb devices
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.gallery
Thnks for the help
How many phones Xiaomi could sell if making phones without these idiosyncrasies? Me? I sold my Xiaomi almost instantly just because of this. 99,9% of people would use Google photos instead of that rubbish. Xiaomi cloud? Nobody use it in Europe. None. Xiaomi account? I have yet to know anyone who have this "account". Xiaomi-products for business use? Laughable. Google rules and nobody wants to use anything other.
Xiaomi could save a shotloads of money if they wanted and listen to customers (not asslickers who are the most loudest). Just close that Xiaomi cloud service completely. Remove ALL their own apps from their phones. Remove Xiaomi account and close those servers. Nobody cares. Phones would be awesome after that. Now they are cheap and have great price/performance, but full ot cr*p that nobody cares.

I have absolutely no idea, where to get this adb tools app and how to use it. I can't find it in the play store.

Google is your friend. Put adb and start reading/learning, there are tons of guides elsewhere about Android Debugger. ADB has nothing with Playstore, you have to install to the PC, etc, etc

Question Uninstall Dual App Chrome?

Hi,
I have uninstalled Chrome with Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools but somehow when I open links in other Dual Apps such as Facebook, it still opens Chrome browser rather than Brave Browser that I have installed.
I am able to get Dual App Facebook to open in Brave if I also make Brave a Dual App. But I don't want that.
I am guessing there is an internally installed Dual App version of Chrome that I must uninstall?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, dual apps are installed under user 999, so just disable chrome for that user from adb shell:
Code:
pm disable-user --user 999 com.android.chrome

Question Disabling Bixby and Samsung Pay

Would like to DISABLE Bixby and Samsung Pay in entirety.
There used to be apps that you could use on your Samsung phone, but last I tried that it went belly up and on a per year license, and since is long gone or unsupported.
I don't know ADB too well but am willing to use it to disable/remove all the samsung crap.
Thanks
Why? If you just don't open it, it never does anything.

1) Download GeminiMan WearOS Manager from the Playstore. It simplifies the ADB process. It's a brilliant program. 2) Read up on the debloat page for the Galaxy Watch 4. We pretty much have the same on Watch 5. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/debloat-galaxy-watch-4.4324147/page-9
This got me through cleaning up my watch.
(FYI: GeminiMan made it easy for me to to remove the Samsung Health Monitor and replace it with the version that allows BP and ECG. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-restriction-removed-19th-april-2023.4322527/ )

I would not rely on a third party app to manage packages. Instead enable developer mode and from an adb shell run:
pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.samsungpay.gear
to disable Samsung Pay. Just disable it, don't uninstall it.
I would not touch Bixby. In case you want to try, the associated packages are:
com.samsung.android.bixby.agent
com.samsung.android.bixby.wakeup
Again, just disable, don't uninstall. But my guess is even if disabled it will cause problems on the watch because other functions depend on Bixby existing even if it is not used. lf you do disable it and it works ok, please let us know.
So far the only app that I know can be safely uninstalled is Global Goals:
pm uninstall --user 0 com.samsung.sree

Don't get me wrong. Never 'rely' on a 3rd party app to manage packages. Understand ADB. That said, the app I mentioned is made by XDA-Dante63 and very legit - it does a great job.
Bixby is fine to disable. Assistant is better anyway. Samsung Pay and a bunch of other stuff can be safely removed. My watch works wonderfully but other user experiences may vary.
