Is it possible to uninstall some of the pre-installed apps that I don't use. ie. Google Talk, Email, News and Weather. Whenever I try my Nook just says that it was unable to uninstall them. I also tried using adb uninstall but that doesn't seem to work either.
what rom are you running?
I used the auto-nooter 2.12.25.
I would imagine that you could use ADB to remove anything you wanted to, but I'm not exactly sure what that would do to the stability of the thing.

I'm using stock 318 US version of the Streak. I have many programs on my phone. I keep installing and uninstalling new programs all the time. Recently I've discovered that about 10 or so programs, which I never uninstalled has been uninstalled. I don't remember uninstalling them. I know they're not there cause I can't find them in the app drawer, plus when I open Titanium Backup, it shows the programs as uninstalled. The funny thing is, when I tried to install one of those programs again, it gives me a warning to say this will replace an existing program?
All my programs are installed on the phone by default (I just install them, I don't move them to SD or anything like that).
Has anyone else come across this? Or have any idea what's going on?
I like to try apps. I think most of you do, too.
The problem is it's really difficult to uninstall an app in Android. I have an iPod Touch, and I can't say uninstallation on iPod Touch is that easy, but Android is worst.
Is there any app (with root privilege), that can uninstall multiple apps without confirming at each app? I tried many apps on the market, but non of them worked like that. One app could remove multiple system apps without confirmations, but it couldn't do that for user apps.
Please tell me if there is a way to achieve this.
And, Google should provide an option to turn off the uninstall confirmation + the useless "uninstalled" message boxes. Or add a way to uninstall multiple apps with only one confirmation (not at each app).
Titanium Backup - you can do batch installs and uninstalls of apk files.
Did not work
I tried the trial version of Titanium Back Up. It did have a menu for that, but executing it did not work. It just hung at 0% and did not progress.
I have a Vortex Beat 8. It's a cheap Chinese phone and doesn't have its own forum here. I have adware apps that keep installing themselves, and I think that some process built into the rom, from the factory, is causing it. Does anyone have any tips on what I can do to stop this process?
The biggest problem, with the adware, is that I'm using the phone as a security camera using the Alfred app, and once the ad pops up on the phone, the camera shuts off. I can't turn off the wifi, because I need it enabled for Alfred.
I've factory reset the phone, and disabled or uninstalled all the apps I thought looked suspicious, and yet somehow, occasionally, it will reinstall the apps. Every time I clear, uninstall and disable things, I think I've finally got the problem permanently solved, but then out of nowhere the apps are suddenly back. The last time, the phone lasted several weeks before reinstalling the apps. The previous time, it lasted about a day or two.
I believe at least one of the systemapps I disabled somehow reenabled itself, so that may be the culprit. It's called "Wireless Update". There is also a potentially suspicious system app called "Update Service Core", but I can't disable or uninstall that. I've been using "Data usage" to try to see which apps have been active, but it's hard to tell, but it's not clear form the user interface when the activity took place.
Some of the Adware apps are called "Shortcuts" and "Movies-TV". As far as I can tell they're fairly simple apps that use Android System WebView or something similar to display a website, and then popup ads occasionally.
I tried several virus/adware apps and none of them have been able to detect anything.
At some point there was an update from the manufacturer, and afterwards the problem became worse. In hindsight, I should have rejected it. As far as I know, there are no alternative roms, on the internet, for this device.
I factory reset again and this time I disabled:
Adtime
News and rewards
(System)
Duraspeed
Mobile services
wireless update
Internet
Shortly afterward, the adware app/game Red Block installed itself.
I uninstalled Red Block and installed a firewall app called NoRoot Firewall. Through the firewall I gave internet access to Alfred, Google Play, and some other Google related things. Update Service Core was requesting access and I denied it. Here's hoping that denying Update Service Core was enough to stop this madness.
I'm still struggling with this. I followed the directions at https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/216616-removal-instructions-for-adups/ to uninstall adups for the current user. You can also find more info here:
https://blog.malwarebytes.com/andro...-come-pre-installed-with-unremovable-malware/
I used
Code:
adb shell pm list packages -f
to get the full list of packages and uninstalled adups and also a lock screen using:
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.adups.fota
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.adups.fota.sysoper
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 io.appservice.lockappblack
However, the lock app uninstalled itself later as well as:
Movies-TV
Red Block
Shortcuts
and a new one called:
CraigsList
I had the firewall disabled at the time thinking that I had finally solved the problem. I don't know if the firewall being enabled could have prevented the reinstallation. Sometimes it crashes, and that might coincide with the apps being reinstalled. Also, the lock app renamed itself to io.appservice.lockappblack6. I also noticed that the built-in browser is called "Liberty-Browser", which makes me wonder if it's related to the lock app which has an apk called "lockAppLiberty.apk".
I noticed an app in my pm list that I didn't noticed last time: package:/system/priv-app/Ignite-Sliide_3.1.025-1405_releaseProduction/Ignite-Sliide_3.1.025-1405_releaseProduction.apk=com.dti.sliide It's not in the normal apps list and it looks sketchy af. I think it's DT Ignite, which is a known bloatware app that installs bloatware/adware without your permission. I've uninstalled DT Ignite, as well as the lock screen using the adb method above. I also uninstalled the other apps via normal means.
Here's hoping it sticks this time.
This is talking about the Chinese version of the device, PCCM00.
I remember using ADB and debug mode when the phone first came out to uninstall the ColorOS since it kept me from using Nova Launcher, but now, when I attempt to uninstall the launcher using ADB Shell and the command "pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oppo.launcher", it says DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR. I can still uninstall other system apps and see them erased. There are a couple that tell me the same error, but this is the one I'm concerned about. Has anyone had any problems uninstalling that one? Is there a work-around? Or a specific reason this is happening? Is there a solution?
I have the same version and haven't made it yet. Would also like to have the Nova Launcher.

Yes, due to their integrated work among their apps, they have made it hard to get some components removed. I too expect companies to have modular behaviour in their software!
Even if you make another launcher your default launcher, for example Nova Launcher, then there are some flickering and animation issues (specifically when swiping to go to homescreen) which is a problem created by OPPO and Nova can't do anything more to solve it.
The default launcher also runs in the background continuously, despite trying to shutoff all its integrated services like search, widgets, Lockscreen magazine, etc
Because of which at the end, I'm using its stock apps

Hello, i asked this question over at the Tab S6 but haven’t gotten any replies so I thought i would ask here since its a newer device.
I want to be able to uninstall apps that come pres-installed on the tab and would like a list, if possible, of apps that i can safely uninstall without affecting the tab itself. I would not be using a lot of the apps so i want to free up as much storage and ram as possible. That only thing I will be using the tab for is:
Lightroom, photoshop, snapseed, Facebook, instagram, Flipboard, youtube, firefox browser, file manager and Google play to download mentioned apps and keep them updated.
I would be using ADB to remove unwanted apps, i dont want to root my tab as i want to be able to perform future updates.
Thanks in advance.
Enable USB debugging.
check apps ids from app info , for an example "com.google.youtube"
wirte all of them on plain paper.
then
Use ADB with correct command.
