if you installed it from the market yes. if you installed it from mcr wavesecure pack then it is in /system/app, and therefore can't be uninstalled the regular way.

the proper way is , even on non rooted android
Or :
adb shell pm uninstall com.wsandroid
There should be a UI way to do it too

That would rather defeat the whole purpose of the application!
Regards,
Dave

I found i had to do:
adb shell rm /data/app/com.wsandroid.uninstall_listener.apk
Of course, as someone mentioned, it does defeat the purpose... still ...

On some device (Desire) you need to start in recovery then mounting /system/app or /system/sd only then rm /system/app/com.wave*

Code:
C:\DevTools\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell rm system/app/com.wsandroid.apk
rm: can't remove 'system/app/com.wsandroid.apk': Directory not empty
C:\DevTools\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell pm uninstall com.wsandroid
Failure
Also can't delete other stuff that came as a part of the modaco rom.

I am having the same problem here and cant uninstall the damn wave secure thing has anyone figured it out ?

Umm... You might find it a bit easier if you adb remount first.

Wow this pissed me off. Couldn't remove WaveSecure no matter what I did.
Turns out the name of the apk was com.wsandroid-1.apk in /data/app
I've uninstalled it before, I guess that's the reason.
Anyway, Wavesecure messed up my Market, Downloads-tab showing only 4 apps instead of... well alot. Some weird stuff happening all around. My phone worked perfectly before I installed WaveSecure.
So basically I have no proof WaveSecure actually was the cause but the eveidence is enough for me to never touch it again. And removing it, even though I 100% did not have the uninstall prevention app installed, was a pain in the ass. It shouldn't be this much of a problem if you don't have any special protection installed!

Easy resolution
Provided that extra uninstall protection has been removed already... read this.
Taken from user rdz418 over at the droidforums.net forums:
"To uninstall WaveSecure, you have to remove it as a device administrator. To do this, hit menu, then go to Location & Security, then Device Admin. When you remove WaveSecure as an admin, it will lock your phone and ask for your PIN to unlock. Once unlocked, WaveSecure will no longer be an admin and you can then uninstall the app."
THIS works. For those of us...not so root and command code happy....this is a godsend

Download titanium backup and remove it..
'if you have rooted'

No dice..especially if you put WS in the root of Android..TB won't uninstall..what a *****.

uninstall bloatware, method and which application remove

Hi. good day. I am new, I see that it is an excellent community, where they help others.
I received the xz1c a few days ago, the phone is fast, incredible I love it, I had z1c and z5c, I'm from Paraguay.
I want to know how to remove bloatware and tutorial from how to do it and safe applications to remove.
read about the command 'adb uninstall --user 0 <package name>'
but I would like some tutorial to do it right

With regard to many of the 3rd party applications which are installed by default, and which cannot be removed entirely: If you disable them the "stubs" that are left only take up a few KB of space and will not be automatically updated. I believe you run the fewest risks of other problems if you handle it in this way.

In order for you to avoid mistake, here is what I've done on mine:
1) Under your application list, force stop app, then delete cache, delete data and finally deactivate the app
2) If not already done, activate developer option, by tapping 7 time on build version
3) Enable USB debugging only
4) Download android platform tools from official developer website according your OS, unzip tools into a folder, and open a cmd console from there
4) Plug you device, do not select any option
5) Test your connection by typing C:\>adb devices to see if your phone is correctly seen by your computer, accept any prompt from your devices if any, and yours should appear on the list under the console. This tuto is still useful if needed on this step
6) Then enter this following command to get the list of any deactivated application
Code:
C:\Users\baudbox\Downloads\platform-tools>adb shell pm list packages -d
package:com.sonymobile.deqp
package:com.google.android.apps.work.oobconfig
package:com.google.android.webview
package:com.sonyericsson.xhs
package:com.google.android.videos
7) Finally remove each dedicated application, one by one by the following command:
Code:
C:\Users\baudbox\Downloads\platform-tools>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.videos
Success
You should have a Success at the line.
If you have any doubt of the package name, just grab the name and browse either on xda or internet to find out what to which app belongs the package name.
Hope that helps

Does anyone have a full list of which ones they disabled / are safe to disable?

need an access root?
is it root access? or still as an official software?

Regarding your question, yes you'll still get sony updates. For some for which name contains "sony", regarding the list, it worth to check what it does (ie. com.google.android.gm = gmail, so if you use gmail, you should keep it).

Smart move to disable the apps to have something to find them by in adb! :good:
I do wonder however, why would you use the -k option to pm uninstall? Isn't that to preserve app data and cache? Is there any danger in removing it all, ie without -k (hope not, I recently did that for both my and my wife's phones... )?

did exactly that. and it worked.
hate to redo all the setup process, so others please be aware.

In my efforts to troubleshoot battery drain, I found that "Advanced Logging" was using a lot of my battery. A quick Google search shows that it's part of the Support app and involved in sending usage data (which I have unchecked and declined consent in the Support app): https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-XZ/Advanced-Logging-Spyware/td-p/1180249
Can this safely be disabled via ADB? Any idea what the package name is? For now I've just Greenified it and will see if that helps.

To save data all you do is flash the system, you'll still have to disable apps and stuff but won't have to start from scratch like you do when you do a full wipe.

The ADB command was successful but it doesn't seem to have solved my wakelock problem. Still, even with the setting for usage stats off and consent declined in the Support app, the Advanced Logging app was reported as using data and battery in the background, so good riddance!
Edit: System Update force closes after doing this and upgrading to .8.49. I'm not sure which one of those actions caused the problem, but reflashing my firmware minus userdata did not fix it, so I'm thinking it's possibly due to removing Advanced Logging.

[GUIDE] S9 G9600 PayJoy Rent-A-Center MDM Knox Enterprise Disable Bypass

I picked up a G9600 and it has a knox enterprise certificate that configures the phone upon initial setup. It is not locked out yet and I can still return it but I’m also trying to figure this weird setup out and possibly clean it up. Rent-A-Center is renting phones that can be remote controlled by them, they supposedly buy them directly from Samsung like this. It’s very interesting!
To remove all of the knox and mdm stuff you have to do this:
Open Samsung Calculator and type in (+30012012732+, this will pop up drp mode, then type in the *#0808#, select DM+Modem+ADB, and hit reboot. You should now have ADB! (you have to do this same method after every reboot)
Once you enable ADB, then you can run these commands to disable knox enrollment center:
"adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.sec.knox.kccagent"
"adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.planetcellinc.ressvc"
"adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.absolute.android.agent"
"adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.sec.enterprise.knox.cloudmdm.smdms"
From here you can also now grant SystemUItuner adb permissions to disable animations and modify your status bar/quick settings. FYI, none of this will survive a reset.
Now all I have left to do is figure out how to enable developer options so that I can OEM unlock. I successfully got CROM app to unlock it, I just have no way to access the toggle. After 7 days the prenormal KG Status did go away.
EDIT: I no longer have the phone so I cannot continue digging into this. It worked on all version of Oreo, I never got to try it on Pie.

Like the OP said, this method cant survive a Reset.

Hello, need a little help with a note 9 from RAC. I was able to get into phone by bypassing set up but I'm limited with what I can use do to samsungs knox modified by RAC. I tried the calculator method from this post by I't didnt work because of the limitations I suppose. Is there any way that you can grant root access to an app like file explorer from a PC to remove frp setting so that I can Odin flash an unmodified RAC firmware.

Yes I kind of got that but I figured it would be the same process and all on how disable samsungs modified by RAC Knox and as it seems to work for me on a temporary disable as listed etc. I know of some apps that need root access can be granted through a PC my question was in how to do that to try and change it through fike explorer. Has it been attempted?

I have a S9+ sm-G9650U variant from R.A.C. ... you can still get to developer options via the apps that shortcut to there in the play store but it's hidden from normal settings area anyway even when enabled also attempting to flash results in "cannot flash MDM mode" message and phone auto reset to the out of box remote set up. also it seems oem unlock is permanent locked (supposedly) via MDM somehow...as I asked this at rent a center and was told at the end of the lease/rental agreement MDM is removed and oem unlock will be enabled so idk if it can be done without MDM issuing it... also attached is the app i use to access developer options.

There should be no difference between the S9 and Note 9, I only had access to the S9 for testing. I doubt the Android Pie update still allows this, I got rid of the phone before that came out but I was on latest Oreo update with it still working.

Yes

Yeah, XDA mods are bad. The full solution seems to be the better solution in the long run anyway. I hope anyone who actually needs to use this goes the full solution route.

I tried something simulre back several months ago when I first picked up an unlocked S9 from Amazon from a 3rd party seller, was never able to get it bypassed, and even If I did didnt trust it. I ended up calling the number which was a local store number, they looked up the imei and it was reported stolen. So back to the seller it went.

If you trip knox on purpose it goes away perm. First to get rid of the problem of not being able to wipe it you have to get combo firmware use Odin to flash it in but be sure to check nand erase all on options tab and boom it's now able to be wiped. For a lot of units you're done just flash full firmware. However on some devices you have to extract the boot.img.lz4 from the ap file from full firmware file (not combo) then use 7zip to extract boot.img from boot.img.lz4 now copy the boot.img to a device that has magisk manager running on it. Tap install magisk select boot.img it creates a patched boot.img in your downloads folder. Copy back to PC use 7zip to put boot.img into a tar. Put device in download mode flash new tar it in you will see an error about knox. Put back in download mode confirm knox is tripped (samsung pay and other knox stuff won't work) flash full firmware. The notice about reenrollment will pop up but once u connect to wifi itll just go through normal setup because it's no longer "fit" for knox enrollment. Boom. Any questions let me know.

After you do the above, you'll be able to uninstall "com.absolute.android.agent", "com.sec.knox.kccagent", and "com.planetcellinc.ressvc" from within Settings > Apps.
Then you can go into Settings > Developer Settings > OEM Unlock
***I don't think this step matters, but I did it anyway just to be sure***
Go back to adb use the "adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 <package name>" command on everything that has the word "knox" and "enterprise" in the package name.
Then power off the device.
Hold Bixby + Volume Down while you connect phone to the computer.
This will bring you to download mode. You'll see 3 options:
Volume Up for Download mode
Volume Up for 7 seconds for Bootloader Unlock
Volume Down and Power for Cancel/Restart Phone
Choose the Bootloader Unlock option
Your phone will factory reset, but I guess since it unlocks the bootloader, it factory resets the phone to stock samsung firmware and not the rent a center controlled firmware..
You'll go through the initial setup but it will skip the rent a center knox configure step and go right into the phone as normal.
When it loads, go back to Developer Settings, double check to see that OEM Unlock is on AND grayed out, rather than OEM Unlock being off and grayed out.
This will remove all Rent A Center phone control, but I'd assume they could still blacklist your IMEI number.

Hey everybody.
I've been testing this but I can't select DM+Modem+ADB because I don't have that option.
I have RMNET+DM+MODEM+ADPL
I installed some adb drivers with that option but I get no response from adb devices and can't continue with commands.
Any tip is appreciated.

Delete OTA software update

I have a Note 9 with Verizon that has Oreo 8.1.0 on it. I have been trying to avoid downloading the Pie update. I had developer options on and auto updates were turned off, yet the update still got downloaded. How can I delete the downloaded software and stop these the installation reminders? It says I can delay the update only 8 more times before it automatically installs it My phone is not rooted and I don't know the first thing about rooting a phone. Any help would be appreciated!

I dont think you can permanently stop it without running some adb command. Too my knowledge there is no root currently available for the Snapdragon version of the Note 9.
Other users on here might know the adb command to run though but I'm not knowledgable on it.

Thank you for replying. I hope someone knows something.

Try using package disabler pro to disable the update services. Might work.

What you can do is hard reset your phone! Make sure you back up everything first that way the update will get wiped off your phone! Also when you re set it up, do not connect to network! Make sure NO Wi-FI NO Sim! Once your at home screen! Disable all auto updates from settings and dev options then install Adhell 3 disable all update packages and you will be fine!
quote "Adhell 3 can easily block any package plus it has the added benefit of system wide ad-blocking. Use this guide to setup: https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...tance-t3873831 (its post 3 or 4 I think that has the instructions). Enjoy!" Not mine--> He posted this another thread! @mtweisenbarger777

Yes that would work too^ I'm just blocking the services and seem to have done the job for me so far as I had that same concern as I just downgraded from pie and don't want to accidently update again

I stopped the updates by going to the Note 9 U1 XAA firmware. No Verizon branding. No VZW updates.

Try using package disabler pro to disable the update services. Might work.

Thanks again for the suggestion. The package disabler seems to have done the trick.

Glad to help

I to can confirm PDM the Version from the dev's direct download works. I disabled 3 apps after searching within the app "update"

Package disabler apps must be purchased? But why not just disable with adb? (it's built in to your Note9 and free)

I just did this, so we'll see if this works over the next few days and doesn't break anything else:
adb shell
to find packages:
pm list packages | grep soagent
pm list packages | grep wssyncmldm
to disable:
pm disable-user --user 0 com.sec.android.soagent
pm disable-user --user 0 com.wssyncmldm
enable later:
pm enable-user --user 0 com.sec.android.soagent
pm enable-user --user 0 com.wssyncmldm

I cannot figure out how to get to the place where I can perform ADB commands.
Directions say to select PTP mode, but I do not have that as a choice in the status bar, when I connect my Note 9 on Oreo to Windows 10 laptop. I think that is why no commands work in the Powershell as administrator window, opened in the Platform Tools folder.
Do I start in Recovery or Download Mode?
I also read that ADB commands can be performed in ODIN, but I don't see where to type.
In Power Shell for Fastboot I receive the following error, when entering "adb devices"
adb : The term 'adb' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

1. Use cmd not powershell
2. Use. "Cd c:/your folders/folder-where-adb.exe-is" and replace the filepath with the filepath that leads to where your ADB.exe file is. Most likely in platform tools folder.
3. Go Into developer settings, enable USB debugging.
4. Plug phone into computer using file transfer mode, check your phone and allow your phone to "trust" your PC Always when the box comes up.
5. Now type ADB shell into the cmd prompt and you should get a $: instead of C: on the blinking line. Now you can execute PM Commands

Placing the 'Cd" in front of the folder address in CMD Prompt worked like magic.
I've been butting my head against the wall for a few hours.
Thank you for responding with a great tip! :good:

As you can see from the attached screenshot, ADB could not find the wssyncmldm app, but CCSWE App Manager listed the OS update apps as shown at the bottom of the screenshot and I was able to disable those.

Am I set to prevent OS updates and stay on Oreo or did I do a bad thing?

Apologies, for the small pic in the post above!
Here a phone screen shot showing disabled apps.

The software update all with the green icon is still enabled.

Some apps are not installed under --user 0, and instead are system apps. Try removing --user 0 and see if to uninstalls.

You need root, yes.
There is a root procedure that is fully working (I've done it myself and can confirm it works)
If all you wish to do is uninstall a few packages then you might be happy just using mtk-su which is essential for the full rooting procedure.
To answer your exact question, you need to type 'pm disable com.amazon.parentalcontrols'
(This will disable the package rather than uninstall)
I believe that to actually uninstall you'd need 'pm uninstall -k user1 com.amaz..........' (please feel free to correct me if I've got this syntax incorrect)

Of course they did. The member who gave that guidance has no idea what he is talking about.

Alright then, is there something I can do that doesn't involve giving amazon $15 to disable ads?

Root the device or try disabling like this (i have heard they can get re-enabled, but it worked for me so far on my hd10)
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.kindle.otter.oobe.forced.ota
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota.override
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.kindle.kso

The best option (if unrooted) is to call Amazon and tell them you find the ads offensive. They will almost always disable at no charge without a fuss.
The "pm disable-user ..." method trafficked in many threads is a non-durable measure that can be easily reversed by Amazon via OTA updates. However, the commands are easy to reapply when the ads rematerialize. And they will rematerialize if history is any guide.
