Hello, recently I debloated my Samsung Galaxy A33, and after all there is no longer a magnifying glass icon in Settings so I can't quick search options anymore.
I just disabled some stuff via ADB. I tried to restore some packages with no luck. This process is very slow and frustrating to chech everything after disabling each package.
Does anyone know which package might be responsible for showing that function?

I'd say factory reset or restore all the packages you removed, because you might have removed the Search app

Hey everyone,
My phone is a OPO running build 44S.
The xposed installer has completely disappeared on my phone.
I first noticed that the app disappeared from my home screen, then after looking through my apps list, noticed it wasn't installed at all.
However, the /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/ folder still exists and all my modules are still functioning.
When I tried to reinstall it, I received the "app not installed" error message (probably due to the fact that all the files are still there).
Can anybody help me out? I suspect the issue might be that it had gotten disabled when I installed the 44S update, as mentioned in the FAQ.
Unfortunately, the FAQ only provides solutions for before you install a new ROM, not after xposed is already disabled.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried to find the app in your full list through the settings? You can enable it through there if it indeed is disabled. If you have Titanium Backup Pro, you can also unfreeze the app to use it again.

The app is not in the "full list". I checked out Titanium Backup Pro, and it seems like xposed and Greenify (I didn't even noticed that Greenify also disappeared) are there, but crossed out. When I click on it, the backup and restore buttons are greyed out, and the uninstall button does nothing.
I was curious about Greenify, so I tried reinstalling it from the Google Play store, but I was welcomed with a ""Unknown error code during application install '-110'". None of the fixes to clear my Google Play cache fixed this error either.
Anything else that I can try?

Seems like they got wiped out, but not fully. There are still data artifacts remaining, and preventing you from reinstalling...at least, so I think...
Have you rebooted since the problem, by the way?

Hello all,
I'm having a bit of an issue where I can't download or update anything from play store or anywhere else really. Things start downloading and then when they near completion and get to about 98%, they get stuck there and eventually give an error that they cant download. It's only happening on my new Lollipop install. I flashed the 23.1.A.0.726 ftf file on an unlocked bootloader and i am running it on Androplus advanced stock kernel v2.
I've not has this issue on a similar version of kitkat that I currently have a back up of on the same phone. \I'm just bouncing between the two when i get some time to try and fault find the lollipop version. Obviously I want to move to the lollipop version permanently but i will only do that when I've sorted out this issue.
I cant seem to find anyone having the same issue. I've tried the following methods but they didn't work....
First.
Quick toggle pull down
Settings
Apps
Swipe left to the "all" catagory
Scroll down till you find "Google Play Store"
Force stop
Clear data
Now try the play store
If that doesn't work
Try
Quick Toggle pull down
Settings
Scroll down to accounts
Tap Google
Tap your account
Tap the settings menu (three dots in the upper right)
Remove Account
Back out to the settings screen
Add Account
Google
Sign in with your Google account
Does anyone have any other possible solutions to this or know what the hell maybe going on?
Thank you!!

Thanks for the suggestions. I had a look in system apps and both of these are there and unfrozen.
I'm actually trying to run LP 5.0.2: Massive DEBLOATING/23.1.A.0.726 custom FW for Z3C -all working (xposed etc) by moly82. I've tried a full wipe and install via recovery and still i cant get any apps to actually fully download and install. They all get to 99%and then never install for some weird reason.
did you finally solved somehow your problem?
try to flash the latest ROM from moly82 (v4): http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/wip-debloat-lp-690-correct-functioning-t3076161
Hi
I installed a lot of apps and it is very hard to find it on the home screen.
So I normally use the Finder to find the apps for me. However, since upgrade to Pie, It does not work anymore. The installed not show in the result.
I tried to search and find the setting but no luck
Please help.
thank you in advance
bump
Still works for me...
Works fine on my N950N after I installed Pie onto it. Try wiping the cache Partition in Recovery Mode.

I use a third party launcher, and I don't have too many apps installed, so I can't relate to your situation. I'm just curious, what exactly is it you wanted us to help with? What are we supposed to do to make it work properly for you again? Let's say it was a feature that Samsung removed, like they did so many others; what were we supposed to do to make your life easier, again?

Thank you for all helpful answer. I will go for a hard reset.
If you are using a Samsung smartphone, you must install all 3 Bixby upgrades in Samsung/Galaxy Store in order to continue using Finder to find apps.

When I go to the Play Store, there are a lot more than three Bixby apps available. Which ones do I have to upgrade?

I've installed another launcher that has a working search. I may downgrade to Oreo, which always worked fine for me.

Check to see if you hid it in the Samsung home launcher. That fixed it for me.
home screen settings > hide apps > remove hidden apps

Hi, actually I tried your previous post on extreme bloatware removal and ended up with not able to install apks. Even tried side loading via adb. But some required service has been included in your list which caused the apks not installed. I checked with two other devices and same happened. Could you please confirm if it's rectified in this updated one.

Thanks for reporting,
I personally can still install the apks without problems. I didn't need to try adb sideload. otherwise I would not have loaded the list. Anyway I will in these days identify the package involved and make it visible. It was a feature that I personally don't use much based on my configuration. In any case, I repeat, you did well to report it. I will provide to insert it on the thread.

Thanks. btw it's a great debloat list of apps you have. The exact thing I wanted for now since I'm in waiting period to unlock bootloader

Thanks mate, and I give you a little advice about unlocking the bootloader: it gave me an unlock error even though I never unplugged the Mi account from the device and it was all hours past. With the latest version of the MiUnlock it gave me an unlock error despite everything being in order. I solved by installing version 2.2.624.14. I'll tell you just in case :fingers-crossed:
com.xiaomi.providers.appindex* entries should not be removed from Xiaomi phones. These apps are actually the custom skinned "Settings" for Android - removing them will lose access to all settings and will require your device be factory reset. Leave them alone!

After doing this, the calendar is no longer working. I didn't noticed you included the calendar in those commands, why would you do that?

Because as i said, this is a Debloat, i use third party apps for my personal configuration. especially in packages like in this case "calendar"; it is not difficult to guess that doing a debloat eliminates a related service. That's why I always say to make a backup.
Except that removing the calendar provider doesn't allow the google calendar app to work (the play store version, not the one installed by default). It is completely unnecessary to remove it (again, the provider, not the app) and I wouldn't consider it bloatware at all.
I recommend you to use this https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/how-to/tool-xiaomi-adb-fastboot-tools-t3887359
Or visit the saki github https://saki-eu.github.io/XiaomiADBFastbootTools/
It's better and make you easily to debloat or do any adb/fastboot needed. :fingers-crossed:

So I was disabling (not uninstalled) a few apps I didn't use on my rooted S9 with Alexis ROM v1.7 (which was working extremely well).
I do not have Samsung account, and do not use S-Pay (or any payment apps). So I disabled Samsung payment Services" and phone immediately locked, and said "Phone Locked" on lock screen and "payment app was removed without authorization." I could not type in password, no options on lock screen. Tried to dirty re-install of Alexis Rom 1.7, no luck. Had to clean install rom. :/
That's why you should disable instead of removing apps.
what do you do? can you reflash stock rom with odin? or it became a brick?

No idea!
They said they fixed it by clean installing the rom.
Had the same problem. Fixed it by moving all Apps again to their place. Need to find out which of the Apps I'm not allowed to remove.
Samsung is really a pain in the ass!

Yeah, and boy do I wish I'd thought of that. I disabled Payment Services on a Galaxy A70 via Titanium Backup -- poof, instant total lockout. Instead of thinking smart (at least trying adb) I reinstalled the firmware, re-twrp'd, re-rooted, and then the whole setup and apps installs again.
