Uninstalled all three on every ROM (stock and custom) I've used, never had any problems at all afterwards.

You can also refer to this spreadsheet someone made up in another thread:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...Um5vV0E&single=true&gid=0&output=html&ndplr=1
It lists some samsung services and apps which are known to be unsafe to remove etc.

Let's throw them to the recycle bin
Just fine to do that. Trust me

[Q] Using App in Bluestack

hello friends,i want you to help me.
I have installed bluestack and its rooted.I have installed an application "moolah" its an Indian app which gives recharges for the app downloads.
Now i want to completely delete it and also the apps i have downloaded from it,so that i can use the app like new and exploit it again.
steps i have tried:
1. normal uninstall with clear cache and data
2.searching for the app name in directory and removing some files which were not removed during uninstall
3.clearing the browser history(as it uses the tracking system to detect if the app is being downloded from moolah)
the only solution that worked for me is the BSmulti tool V1.21,but it takes a lot of time to reset BS and run again and register google id and stuff.
So basically i am looking for somebody to help me uninstall the apps moolah and the apps downloaded from it completely without using hard reset on BSmulti tool.
Any help will be appreciated,please ask more questions if more information is needed.Thanks in advance

Is necessary ROOT? Yes and no. For many operation is ROOT necessary, but when you need only uninstall specific application you can use for this operation app called "Debloater by Gatesjunior" (can be found here). If you have ROOT, u can use Titanium Backup, System app remover or one of the many other apps on Google Play. If you have experience with root folder, so can delete APK files from folders above.
Use of this list or material is, at all times, "at your own risk." I am not responsible for any damages or losses personal data like database, files etc....​

You can try the debloat script available here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/script-stock-rom-debloat-kiw-l24-usa-t3307924
Try rebuilding it for your phone ..
@ gopinaidu77
This looks good Thx
Maybe i can try make the script for better experience
The Huawei apps should probably be freezed instead of uninstalled stuff can stop working or you may need it in the future
I know it But many apps not necessary, so can be uninstalled without any problems (Notepad, Swype keyboard, file manager and many others). If I find some trouble after uninstall apk, recover this file and use freeze. List above i have tested, so is safe.
And every user can use own method for cleaning the phone. For all test is better make nand backup or backup APK files

No , there were certain apps which you never use , or use once or twice in the whole month.
U can uninstall them . But there is a need of basic apps as said earlier . the main cause of root requirement is To remove bloatware . every Android owner roots to just remove bloat and later thinks about costumisation

Remove GApps completly (for rooted phones)
I am attaching 2 scripts for Marshmallow and Nougat.
Flash using TWRP recovery. This will remove the pre-installed google apps completly.
Flash this before updating the apps from Play Store.
If you have already updated the apps, after flashing the script, you can still manually uninstall the updates.
You can then flash OpenGapps or MicroG
This is just gapps, right? Great for when I eventually root my Honor 8.
Any solution for Huawei apps other than doing it manually?

Hey,
I flashed the script to remove the pre-installed GApps through TWRP on my Honor 8 (US version) but it doesn't look like it worked. All the apps still show up as they were during the initial setup of the phone.
I ran the script right after I rooted and installed TWRP and Xposed, so I didn't setup/use the Play Store or download any updates.
Any ideas on what the issue might be?

Can't install or update Facebook and Messenger after 7.0

Hello
I updated to the 7.0 OTA a few weeks ago but ever since I haven't been able to update the Facebook or Messenger app. Whenever I try to it just results in an error code -505.
Today I tried uninstalling the Facebook app completely and deleting Play Store cache and data as suggested in an old post I found but to no success.
Anyone else having these problems? If it's solvable without a factory reset that would be great.
My phone is a fully stock E5823 running build 32.3.A.0.378
Yes, same here. Reason is the fricking com.facebook.appmanager. If you install facebook or messenger using adb you get the useful error message:
Code:
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION: Package com.facebook.orca attempting to redeclare permission com.facebook.receiver.permission.ACCESS already owned by com.facebook.appmanager]
So the facebook app manager is broken (most likely because it was deactivated when I upgraded to 7.0, not sure though) or not up to date an thus blocks the messenger from being installed. I found feedback from sony in some other forum, there they said that factory reset is their official support workflow. I contacted FB support but no response yet.
I'm trying to get my hands on an facebook app manager apk which works / is newer than mine. However, the one from apkmirror does not work, as the signatures do not match.
Code:
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE: Package com.facebook.appmanager signatures do not match the previously installed version; ignoring!]
I guess because mine are system apks signed with a sony key, the one I got from apkmirror is from fb or someone else.
If someone has an idea (or can provide an apk of com.facebook.appmanager from a working Z5 compact with Android 7.0) I'm open to try it out.

I found the solution. Just search for Facebook app manager on apkmirror by Samsung electronics and install the latest version. Now every Facebook app will install and update.
worked for me thanks for sharing

Exactly.
if you want to use facebook and messenger just install the lite version or a wrapper.
The official app works exactly like a spyware

Samsung E-Mail App how to uninstall without root

Hi there,
I am having problems with the latest Samsung email app version 6.0.03.20
don't know what kind of drugs Samsung developers did take while working on that release, but this version is totally crap.
so my idea was to uninstall this version and install the previous one.
unfortunately, I can only deactivate the app which hinders the installation of any previous version.
is there any possibility to go back a version of this app, without rooting the device?
thank you in advance
and by the way. please save your time with answers like. why don't you use another email app.?
except you can suggest one which
1. is free
2. has no adds
3. the senders email can differ from the login account email
4. the Gmail labels list can be collapsed and expanded
Apps> email> 3 does menu on the top right and uninstall updates. After that you can install the version you want from apkmirror.

hi Alex9090
thanks for your reply.
for a lot of apps it shows the option to uninstall the updates, as you described.
for the email app when clicking on the 3 dots it only gives the option to "uninstall for all users", which in the end is just a deactivation.
That's weird. I just checked mine and it does have that option to uninstall apps. In fact all my apps which are factory installed have that option.

I able to uninstall most of my samsung apps permantly without doing anything
You can do this with adb:
Code:
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.email.provider
Note: it's gone if it's gone. You need to factory reset your phone if installing the apk don't work for you.
