How to disable HiSearch??

I have signed out of huawei ID as I dont want to use any of their services. I think all is fine except for this function called HiSearch - where you scroll down from home screen in an empty space, it will bring down a HiSearch. Something like what you see on iOS. Now it kept asking me to sign in which I obviously dont want to.
Any way to disable this?

Find my thread how to debloat. You can remove almost every Huawei service including login in settings.
Please backup first. Sometimes you can cause a bootloop if you remove to much

Remove 'HiSearch'
===========================
Mate 20 Pro tips and tricks
===========================
Are you accidentally swiping the annoying 'HiSearch' feature on your new Huawei Mate 20 Pro?
Well, now you can safely remove it and it's not that hard if you pay attention to the instructions below.
(It probably works on other 'Mate 20' versions but I've only tested it on the 'Pro' version.)
First, we need to play with your phone.
---------------------------------------
On your phone, open 'Settings'. Scroll down to 'System'. Tap on 'About Phone'.
Scroll down to 'Build number' and tap on it about 5-7 times to enable developer options.
Next, go to 'Settings' > 'Developer Options' > 'USB Debugging', and enable it.
Finally, in 'Developer Options' scroll down to 'Select USB configuration' and choose 'Media Transfer Protocol (MTP)'.
On your computer...
-------------------
1) Download the ADB zip file to your Windows desktop computer or laptop.
Direct link to the ADB zip file is here:
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
Unzip the contents of the zip file to your desktop.
There will be a new folder called 'platform-tools'.
2) Connect your phone to the computer through a USB port and (if prompted) enable USB Debugging on your phone.
(There may be a pop up on your phone asking you to do this.)
Open the 'platform-tools' folder that you just unzipped and open a 'command prompt' from inside that folder.
Put your mouse somewhere in the folder, hold 'shift' and right click your mouse. Select 'Open command window here'.
3) Type "adb devices" then enter.
This just proves that you are connected to your phone.
The long ID number of your phone will show up if you are.
4) Type "adb Shell" then enter.
5) Type "pm list packages" then enter.
This will show you a long list of packages installed on your phone.
6) Type "pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.search" then enter.
7) Did you see the word "Success"?
8) You did it. Aren't you clever! No more accidental 'HiSearch' swipes on your phone.

How to get Google Discover on your home screen

Note: I've only tried this on Oppo Find X2 Lite running Color OS 11.1 (Android 11), and I'm not responsible if you screw up something.
Note: you don't have to revert before every monthly update. But just to be safe, revert back before a major software update (like the Android 12 update).
This method doesn't require root nor a custom recovery. it's simple and you can revert back if you wish.
The reason why we can't get the Google Discover Feed on the home screen is because of Oppo's Smart Assistant app. So we'll be uninstalling it (kinda, see Note 2 at the end of the post), as soon as that's done, you'll get the Discover feed on the left page of your home screen (of course you'll need to have the Google app installed). If you would like to get Smart Assistant back, follow the steps in the To Revert back section.
By the way, if you don't want to bother with Command prompt, you can always just use a custom launcher like Lawnchair, that will give you the ability to use Google Discover without any ADB commands. If you want the safest route, go with this.
Steps:
1- Enable Developer Options (by going to Settings>About Phone>Version then clicking Build Number a bunch of times).
2- On your PC, download Platform Tools from this link: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools .
3- Extract the zip file to a folder.
4- Copy the path to that folder, then open open Command Prompt as an administrator and type "cd (the path you copied)" (example: cd C:/platform-tools ).
5- Enable ADB Debugging (by going to Settings>Additional Settings>Developer options then enable USB debugging).
6- Plug your phone to your PC, then change the connection method on your phone to "Transfer Files / Android Auto".
7- A pop-up saying " Allow USB debugging? " will appear, click Allow.
8- On your the command prompt window on your PC, type "adb devices" , you should see: "[your serial number] device".
9- Now type
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.assistantscreen
and hit enter, wait for it to finish.
10- Reboot your phone, you should see the Discover Feed on the the left screen. Enjoy !
To Revert back:
If you want to bring back Smart Assistant, repeat steps 4 through 8, then type in command prompt
Code:
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.coloros.assistantscreen
Notes:
- After you're done, I recommend going back to Settings>Additional Settings>Developer options and disabling USB Debugging.
- The command doesn't actually delete the app from the phone, it just removes it for the main user, i.e. you.
- the monthly system updates don't bring back Smart Assistant, but I'd recommend reverting back before updating to Android 12 (if we're getting it ).
Full credit goes to @klanbo78 for this, thank you so much !

Thanks for the guide!
Have you been able to test it out on ColorOS 12?

I still didn't receive the ColorOS 12 update on my device. Although I can confirm that this still works in the ColorOS 11.1 March 2022 update.
Have you managed to receive the ColorOS 12 update on this device? if so, would you mind mentioning from which country?

A71 Knox Enrollment service

Any clues how to disable Knox cloud enrollment service?
I have tried to reflash with original samsung firmware with odin.
I have tried to reflash with PIT - Re-partition.
Somehow knox cloud enrollment / MDM (i am not shure what it's called these days) will not go away)
Is knox hardware theese days? Or is there something i'm missing?

It's a pervasive hidden system Administrator. Be careful with that one until you get someone who knows exactly what to do... or not do.
Things like Secure Folder need Knox. Not sure about screen lock...

What's the Build/Baseband?

THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOUR PHONE SUPPORTS WIFI DEBUGGING
I know this is a very old thread, But im still putting this out here to help any other person that encounters this issue
So what youre going to do is to enter Drparser mode by typing (+30012012732+ in your calculator, then type *#0808# in the dial pad that comes up, then select RMNET+DM+MODEM+ADPL(MDM) , (Now im assuming usb debugging is disabled by knox) So youre going to want to go to developer options and enable wifi debugging, make sure your pc and phone are both connected to the same network now select PAIR DEVICE WITH PAIRING CODE and then on your pc terminal with adb type
Code:
adb pair 'IP: Port'
then type in the pairing code
Now after that type
Code:
adb connect IP: Port
After it says connected
Code:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.sec.enterprise.knox.cloudmdm.smdms
the command will disable knox enrollment service allowing you to use your phone normally in my case it prevented me from using my camera

How To Guide How to debloat Galaxy Tab S8 ♻️

In this guide we will see step by step how to debloat the Galaxy Tab S8​
First of all we have to enable: Developer Options
Settings->About tablet->Software information->(tap 7 times)Build number
After that we will enable: OEM Unlocking & USB Debbuging
Settings->Developer Options->OEM Unlocking(ON) & USB Debbuging(ON)
On the next step we need to download & install : ADB & Fastboot tools
Once you install the tools, connect your {Tablet} - {PC}
Select: USB Debbuging & Open your: Terminal
We are almost there
Now i will make a short explanation in order to understand what are we doing exactly & how we will do it.
What is ADB?
ADB provides us with commands that can be used to debug Android devices,
installing or uninstalling apps and getting information about a connected device.
adb shell
This command activates the remote shell command console on the connected Android smartphone or tablet.
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0
Using this, you can easily uninstall the unwanted system apps. To be able to execute it, you must issue 'adb shell' command first.
You can then use 'pm uninstall -k --user 0' followed by the Android app package name as shown below.
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.whatsapp_2.20.apk
This command can help you if you want to remove all the bloatware from your phone.
Please note that most system apps don't have the 'Uninstall' option on the device but this command works magically.
If you don't know the app package name for the apps you want to remove, you can use adb shell pm list packages to find it out.
adb shell pm list packages
Using the above ADB Shell command, you can print the list of the app package names for all apps installed on your Android device.
You can use this command with different parameters to get a more specific list of app packages.
For instance, if you want to list the system apps only, use
adb shell pm list packages -s
In order to list all third-party apps installed on your Android phone or tablet, you issue the following command.
adb shell pm list packages -3
Do you want ADB Shell to show the list of all enabled or disabled apps on your device,
try the command with '-d' (disabled apps) and '-e' (for enabled apps) parameter.
adb shell pm list packages -d
adb shell pm list packages -e
Now, if pm list command troubles you or you are unsure that you are making the right choice you should stop right there
(uninstalling the wrong app might harm your tablet's operating system) and use another method for identifying which app you want to uninstall.
(GUI method - Graphical User Interface) For example: APK Inspector will provide you with a detailed list of installed packages (plus their icon) on your device, once you select an app, extra details will be shown to you & that's how you will get the correct name.of.the.app
Thanks for your time ❤​

I really appreciate this write-up it has been a big help..
I use my OnePlus 9 pro with ADB and fastboot for Android NDK to debloat..
and that application inspector is a God send so again. thank you
I don't know if it was just a fluke or what but when I rebooted after successfully deleting digital well-being my tablet booted up super fast...
either way I'm good.

Awesome thanks for the tip. Is using "install" put the app back if I screw up something?

So it really doesn't uninstall just uninstalls from your app draw?

For the os, it is like it has been uninstalled. But you don't free disk space, as the data of the app are still there. They just been hidden from os. That's why you can have back the app again just with an adb command again.

Man I used this to shut down numerous apps on all of my Android devices. Samsung and Verizon apps. Thanks!

Went back in to uninstall more apps. Device is recognized but adb shell won't load. The last time I used adb it was for my phone.

Figured it out, had to revoke USB debugging on my tablet. Delete on the computer c:user.android and restart (actual path on the computer could be different than what I stated).

Hi there.
Can anyone confirm, if it is save to remove the phone app from the device since it is connected to this samsung feature "calls/ messages on other Galaxy devices"? Actually i fully wanne get rid of this feature and app since i don´t use a galaxy phone.

I have Debloated it (adb frozen) months ago. Didn't have any problem. You can always enable it again.

Am I right? If i debloat I don't clean up the system space used from the os ?

You won't earn more free space. Apps are still there after Debloating.

@striker59
You remove the app for the current user but its still inside system's root directory.
You don't gain storage.
What you can achieve tho if you remove/disable the unnecessary services without causing softbrik or error spamming 'service has stop working' is a lightweight $user who uses less ram, your phone's overall performance is better and the battery reduction is slower.

you need airplane mode until the phone is rebooted

Thank you!

Thankyou buddy, I've tried many ways but it was working only for one or two days, but this one is the best for sure!

I still get message ask permission for Google location service when any apps want to use Google location service. Some apps can do correctly after tap "OK" but some apps keep ask for permission even I tap "OK" many times and cannot use app after that. Help me, please.
EDIT: after step "adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.gsf" and I cannot do step 11. My Google Maps is very very slow when try to get direction.

This is great, thanks. Although no access to play store or apps that use Geolocation, is there any way to fix this?
