[Q] Enabling frozen Apps - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since running ICS 4.0.3 (LPB, LPH, PLQ and now LP7 offical) on my SII I haven't been able to unfreeze frozen apps via Mybackup/Titanium Backup.
Developers of the software are not aware of any issues with ICS, I have root through chainfire kernel, I have tried reinstalling Busybox just in case.
When entering the commands manually with terminal emulator on device/adb
pm enable PACKAGE_NAME
reports
Package PACKAGE_NAME new state: disabled
Anyone have any ideas, I can only find existing google results/forum posts relating to freezing app, not any issue in in unfreezing apps!
Update- Just tried a fresh LP7 odin flash, followed by CF-root LP7. ADB shell commands are still unable to re-enable disabled apks
I'm guessing there must be an issue with the rom/cf-root kernel...

+1
I'm also having this issue? Can anyone help?

How right you are.
Marvellous stuff.

possible workaround, at least it worked on my GB 2.3.6
I ran into the same issue on [XXLC1][2.3.6] CheckROM NoteHD™ V6 (Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000). I froze the MP3-Player and couldn't defrost it. Same luck with pm enable...
It may or may not help on your ROM, however here's how I solved/worked around it on mine:
1. went to Titanium and made a backup of the app
2. uninstalled the app with Titanium
3. looked up the package name with pm on the adb shell
Code:
# pm list packages -d
4. pm indicated it's still installed but disabled... so I took the package name and uninstalled it
Code:
# pm uninstall com.android.music
pm uninstall com.android.music
Success
# pm uninstall com.android.music
pm uninstall com.android.music
Failure
I just tried twice to make sure it's not faking
5. went back to Titanium and restored the backup, App + Data
just my 2ct, hope it helps
Cheers

Root Toolbox - Tester needed

as i currently dont have my phone can someone help me in testing my app. In package manager i have tried to implement a way i can remove system apps without having to list files in /system/app.
it should first of use busybox to remove the package in /system/app, then use busybox and package manager to remove the leftover data in /data/data.
could someone test this update for me??

[Q] How to stop market from updating?

I was wondering if there was a setting I could apply or a zip I could flash to prevent the market from auto updating itself. I have all kinds of problems with market 3.44 crashing but not if I uninstall updates but it goes right back to 3.44 on its own.

I just tried that and no go. I deleted it with Root Explorer and then went and uninstalled market update. I then went into market and after that I went to applications and it had updated again.

How to completely uninstall system app (rooted)?

How do I go about completely uninstalling a system app on a rooted device?
My searches resulted in
- non-rooted approach of disabling/uninstalling the app for the main user via 'pm uninstall -k --user 0'. I'm interested in a complete uninstall.
- references to Play Store apps. I'd rather have a cmd-line or script approach if possible.
Background:
I'm trying to downgrade my version of com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
- trying to install an older version results in Failure:
Code:
pm install -r -d /sdcard/Download/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox_6.13.25.21.>
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE]
- so I figure I need to completely uninstall it first.
If it makes a difference, the device is running LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.2)
thanks

Download RootBrowser here :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree
Open Root browser , then go to /system/apps
Search for the Velvet folder and delete it , then reboot your device .
Warning:
This may cause random Force Close and several issue due the link between google app and other apps.
Thanks for the tip about Velvet
It was found under /system/priv-apps
After removing Velvet (I copied it to /sdcard so I could easily restore it later), I was able to install an old version of googlequicksearchbox.
I then put Velvet back.
And the old version of the quick searchbox app (with the swipe-right to dismiss feature) seems to be working.
Thanks!

Debloat?

Im not too sure I want to flash a custom rom. Im thinking I may want to just keep it stock and debloat it myself. Is there a list somewhere of what can be removed without messing up the phone?
I know flashing a custom rom is faster. But i went thru hell with this phone already and when i tried to put twrp on it it didnt work right. I just dont want to try flashing roms and end up with another bootloop or non working touch screen.
Id rather debloat by freezing in titanium backup and just add xposed to rooted stock (im already rooted)
Depends on what you mean by debloat. You can disable things, but because of the way these phones are, and I'm guessing all phones that come with Android 10, we can't really modify the system partition that way. Your best bet would be to flash a rom that doesn't include gapps, then flash pico gapps if you want the play store.
I've tried a few different things for uninstalling system apps and they all left me in a bootloop. Using apps like Titanium Backup, and even manually deleting files through twrp don't work. Freezing apps works fine.
This worked well for me, very easy

Kuzo !!!!! Thank you.
For those of you who don't speak Spanish. The uninstall command to using in ADB is:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 PASTE_PACKAGE_NAME_HERE
Use the command below to get a list of the installed package apps on your phone. You want to use the part that starts with com.some_package_name when using the command above to uninstall a app from your phone using adb.
adb shell pm list packages
This version of the same command should help you find the list of packages associated with the facebook app so you can nuke it from orbit.
adb shell pm list packages facebook
This worked on my 2020 Moto G Power phone and I hope it works for you. And yes I know most of this can be found by doing a search online.
I've just created a Magisk module for that, if you're still interested
[Magisk Debloat Module] Moto G Power Sofia(p)(r)
This is my Moto G Power debloating module. It works on the original ROM. It's still a work in progress, but I've been using it for a while on my Moto G Power 2020 (XT2041-4, US model) and it seems pretty stable. It may work for all Moto G8/G9 as...

Question What are current options for debloating or flashing the newest Sony phones?

So when it comes to newer sony phones for development, patches, roms and debloating.
Are there previous debloating scripts we can use on the newer phones? It looks like we already have a process for root access. but not sure what i apps i should remove or backup.
Not to mention if i flash with a totally new rom i will probably want some of the Sony apps installed which means backing up the sony apps before we flash a rom to it right?
@thud1, I've successfully run the attached script using adb. I'm on the US variant, so can't root, and also removed a few extras from other non-US carriers like Orange. I'd recommend reading through it yourself and changing it (anything without a "::" at the start of the line is being removed), since I removed as much as I possibly could (including almost all Google apps). You can use it as a starting point for which apps you can systemlessly uninstall with Magisk though. After uninstalling all of those, everything still seems to be working for me, and I based it on what I uninstalled with Magisk on my 1 III, so it should also work on a rooted device.
I don't think there are any custom ROMs out yet, but even if there are, flashing will be limited to what can be done through fastboot or Magisk, since we don't have TWRP. If you wanted to install Sony apps on a non-Sony ROM, you'd likely need to use a Magisk module to add in the Sony framework to that ROM or the apps wouldn't work (not even sure if something like Camera Pro would work on an entirely non-Sony ROM like LineageOS).
EDIT: Make sure you have a browser and keyboard downloaded, else you will have to reinstall GBoard and Chrome.

Awesome thank you for this, does it need to be re-applied every OTA update?

I applied your script and everything looks super clean now. However. i am experiencing an issue with the settings application. it keeps crashing.
I have already applied your script if i want to revert anything. How would i go about doing that?

It should not, no. The only exception is if new apps are added by an OTA that you would want to remove.

To revert, running the below command should work:
adb shell cmd package install-existing --user 0 <package_name>
Example:
adb shell cmd package install-existing --user 0 com.google.android.youtube
If you want to undo everything, just do a find and replace of "adb shell pm uninstall -k" with "adb shell cmd package install-existing" in the script.

Thanks i reverted all the changes and rebooted the phone. The main reason for doing this other than having a few oddities with some of my apps.
Was that everyone is saying android 13 is pushing. so reverted all the changes to see if would push me to android 13 and then i could reapply the debloating script.
So far going into system software update. it keeps saying android 12. up to date. and doesn't seem to be pushing 13 yet.
