I am going to experiment blocking various apps via adb to see if I could gain a bit of performance and clean up what's running in the background. I was wondering what would happen if an OTA came through while these were blocked. I wouldn't be facing a chance of brick would I? Apps I had in mind were like the kindle app and audio books.
I'm using apex launcher so I'm not worried about potential effects on the default launcher, although now that I think about it I may be worried about the defualt launchers ability to update with an OTA as well.
Blocking OTA
I found a solution for blocking OTA updates and it works! Have ADB setup and do:
adb shell
then in the adb shell:
pm block com.amazon.dcp
the com.amazon.dcp package is Amazon's OTA updater (and a whole host of related Amazon services...)
Anyways, blocking com.amazon.dcp will probably break a lot of things so you might want to unblock it via:
pm unblock com.amazon.dcp
Will post some more info when I find it, God bless!
Could someone please explain the difference between "pm block" and "pm disable". I couldnt find any documentation even with hours of googing and reading. I found out that block doesnt need root while disable does. But what else is different?
Here is my list. It will basically strip amazon from the device:
com.amazon.kindle.otter
com.amazon.kindle
com.audible.application.kindle
com.amazon.kindle.kso
com.amazon.tahoe
com.amazon.kindle.otter.oobe
com.amazon.client.metrics
com.amazon.device.backup
com.amazon.platform
com.amazon.photos
com.nuance.edr.androidservice.service
com.amazon.whisperlink.core.android
com.goodreads.kindle
I blocked the kindle fire hd six lock ads using com.amazon.kindle.kso . Then an Ota update started I didn't think anything about it applied the update then went to a bootloop does com.amazon.kindle.kso have anything to do with this ?

is there a way to remove all the bloatware? If I'm not rooted or anything... plain stock
my phone is always running like 50 apps... apps I never use like slacker..
I get like 4-6 hours of just testing and browsing the Internet

I dont think you can with out root.
I've tried the temp root method to remove the apps in /system/app by moving it to my sd card.
after reboot, my root is gone but the apps are gone...for about a hour then they get reinstalled back.
I think it downloads from the web.
Yea, I think we have to wait for a custom rom to weed those out.
Just do stock + root. I got rid of 45% of all pre-installed apps.

im pretty sure he unlocked bootloader-- but if he didnt, sub for details
You do not have to unlock the bootloader to disable apps.
If you can get the temp-root working, all you have to do is enter
"pm disable " + app names (not the apk name)in adb shell or in terminal emulator.
You can find out which apps are running by "ps" command or thrugh 'manage application in settings menu.
Alternatively, you can use Titanium Backup Pro to freeze apps.
"pm disable app" will stick even after reboots.
Thanks

NOOB
Hey...I hate to admit but I am a NOOB to XDA and Android...can you post some steps? I rooted my phone, rebooted after root and it looks no different. My gola is to remove bloatware and overclock.

It shouldn't look any different. Rooting doesn't magically change anything. It's basically the same as getting administrator privileges on a computer. It gives you the ability to modify and delete system files.
If you want to remove bloatware, the easiest way is to download Root Manager from the Market and it will let you do just that. Just be careful because if you delete the wrong thing, you can cause problems.
Or the better option (and the one I did) was to install the QuickSense ROM by xboarder. It has the bloatware removed, and some other tweaks. I highly recommend it.
"pm disable" through ADB Shell
Didn't want to unlock my bootloader, so I did the following to disable the apps (didn't uninstall them, just puts them in remission so they don't show up in my App Drawer anymore or run in the background).
I kinda rushed these instructions out and probably left some stuff out since I'm used to doing this on my G2 & my other Android devices, so if you run into any problems, just PM me or post a response.
1. Install HTC Drivers on computer (used Windows 7 Professional machine, separate drivers if you're on a Mac): http://www.multiupload.com/AUF6125ZOY
2. Install ADB Shell (http://www.wiihacks.com/android-phones/52813-how-install-setup-adb.html). ADB Shell not necessarily needed, you could use the "Terminal Manager" on your Amaze after you temproot and run the "pm disable" commands there.
3. Use XBoarderMod's One-Click Root to gain Temporary root status (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310115)
4. Using ADB Shell on your windows box with your Amaze attached via USB with Debugging on, start executing the "pm disable <package name>" command to turn off these apps.
Here's a list of what I disabled (i kept the list minimal, just wanted to get rid of the annoying ones and the apps that kept on persisting in my "running services" tab)
com.telenav.app.android.telenav
com.facebook.katana
com.infraware.docmaster
com.zinio.android.settings
com.zinio.mobile.android.reader
com.slacker.radio
com.tmobile.moreforme
com.tmobile.d411
com.tmobile.apppack
com.htc.htctwitter

Best of all, this method sticks after the phone reboots and you lose your temproot. Temproot your phone again if you want to reenable these apps or turn more off.
If you're not using ADB Shell to disable your apps, here's a list of all packages on the Amaze since it's going to be next to impossible to get this from Terminal Manager. I tried taking out the apps that I installed myself, but some might still be on this list (sorry).
Also, be careful disabling some packages because some might cause problems...I made sure I researched each one to make sure they were safe to turn off.

If I do this temp-root and disable the bloatware apps, will that cause a problem with the eventual ICS update that HTC will push?

No, it won't. Technically, your phone is still 'stock' after disabling apps on it.
But the reason I responded to your question is because I wanted to say this...
Don't worry about the future OTA!!"
Things are getting exiting now that we have a kernel dev working on our device! I can't find any more excuse for not rooting the Amaze.

yeah I thought as much. but the reason I was asking was because I rooted my sister's Samsung Fascinate and deleted a bunch of Verizon Bloatware and then when the Fascinate got Froyo, her update always failed. I tried a bunch of times and finally gave up and recently installed CM7 when it came out for the Fascinate. I'm guessing I deleted something I wasn't supposed to. But disabling apps shouldn't have the same effect as they're still technically going to be on the phone.
edit: and this method that gravis86 posted, is that what you recommend?
worked wonderfully thanks
I could not find the commands on your list to remove the following programs:
htc hub
htc likes
my device (from tmobile)
T-mobile Name ID
Visual Voicemail (I used google voice hate this) never liked it
Pro apps
thanks if you could tell me what those are I'd really appreciate it

In your adb shell or terminal emulator,
just type:
pm list packages -e
to see what apps are still enabled.
and type:
pm list packages -d
to see what you've disabled.
That way, you'll see more than copy-and-pasting someone else's likes and dislikes.
It may be easier to use Titanium Backup. If you have a pro version, it let's you freeze and unfreeze apps right on the app list. Even with regular version, you can still see which apps are frozen, and let you unfreeze it on the list. (freeze=disable)
Hi - so I have not been here on the longest time, but now that I have the Amaze, I really need to get rid of some of these stock apps/bloatware. I am def a NOOB (all over again) and need some help please. I was trying to follow "the ducks" method of "pm disable" through ADB shell, but I cannot figure it out. I do not feel comfortable doing a permanent root. I'm using a Mac. I was able to find instructions on how to do the one-click root and Terminal on my Mac says "Macintosh-10:root4amaze Shimon$ ./adb shell sync" which I assume means I should be able to type in commands, right? I tried pm disable com.telenav.app.android.telenav like this
pm disable com.telenav.app.android.telenav
and like this
"pm disable <com.telenav.app.android.telenav"
and all sorts of variations, but I just get "-bash: pm: command not found".
What can I do? I really just want to get rid of some of these apps that use up battery. My only issue with this phone is battery use.
I'm tempted to try to install the quicksense ROM, but I've never installed a ROM and I just don't want to mess up my phone.
I appreciate any help. Thank you!
Just brought the Nook Tablet days ago.
And yes, I'm a noob about this stuff.
Don't know if i should get NT rooted.
If yes, I would like to know if there's any problem or rule that I need to follow before and after the root.
(e.g. Need to install anything necessary, Can I "unroot" the NT whenever I want, Is the root permanent, etc.)
If no, why? Because NT can sideload others apps? Or any other reasons?
Please help me with these problems.
You could probably get most of the functionality you need by just sideloading the amazon market and any missing apps you need.
I won't comment on the risks as there is already plenty out there to read. I do know that resetting the nook to stock is as easy as holding down the power and N button during startup and waiting 5 minutes. This may only fix the 'softest' of bricks, but did indeed remove my root privileges.
I would try just sideloading apps first.
Remember when you root you void your warranty. So make sure it is what you want to do.

Didn't remove root, just removed the superuser.apk from your device. I promise that the su binary is still there....You need to run a script from the device I created that removes gApps and su since it is all really hidden in the /system folder and the format doesn't touch that. Another way is to type "echo -n '0000' >/bootdata/BootCnt" into adb shell or terminal emulator and then erase and deregister device and it will wipe everything including /system.
I was just thinking about system apps like flash or browser or something else preistalled in our devices that can't be removed...
they can be updated...
I was just wondering if we can push superuser masquerading it as a system app update...
(by the way I don't know anything of possible update protections like certificates and so on)
maybe this is an impossible method suggested by a visionary, but....
But you can remove system apps if you root your phone
noob rooting
Well, theoretically it can be done.
Most apps are updated from the market, so you would have to make a "fake market", possibly you could use a computer on a local network to act as a market server, and then you put an "application update" on it so it tricks the phone into thinking that there is an update. Although this sounds easy, google probably made it tricky for obvious reasons
Hello, I just got my fire HD6. I want to root to get GAPPS, but pretty much leave everything else stock (at least for now). I bought it mainly to watch prime videos offline on a long plane trip coming up. Will root break that functionality?
Also, will it break kindle lending library functionality?
Thanks!
Right now, Fire OS 4.5.4 can't be rooted.

Rooting doesn't break any Amazon features--it's exactly what you want. At this time, however, you can only root Fire OS 4.5.3, and Amazon just pushed the 4.5.4 update. I think the roll out is finished. Look at Settings>Device Options>System Updates to see the version you have.
If you still have 4.5.3 (and have adb drivers installed), I think you can use these adb commands to prevent the update from installing. (Not sure, just thought I read you can block updates on unrooted Fire HDs) Anyway, you should do this immediately:
adb shell
pm block com.amazon.otaverifier
pm block com.amazon.dcpAfter you run the commands, you can try rooting. You can unblock dcp after you're rooted.
I am running Fire OS 4.5.3 with root and I use the prime video and music all the time with no issues.

Damn, it auto updated me over night last night.
This might not be the right place to ask this question but I have been lurking here for a bit and am hoping someone can help me out.
A quick bit of background. I just recently started using Android Tablets. So far all I do with them is to read ebooks, browse the web in an emergency, and, wirelessly access my Xfinity live TV and Peacock streaming service. I have 3 Onn tablets (7", 8" and 10") one of which is Android 10 and the other two are Android 11.
I have absolutely no interest in anything Google and have disabled pretty much all the pre-installed apps based on guides I found here. The only pre-installed apps I use are Files-by-google and Gboard. I use the Nova7 launcher. I do have a google account and access to the google play store but only use it in the extremely rare case I want a purchased app, otherwise I download APK's from sites like APKMirror and APKPure to my PC, validate them using MetaDefend and VirusTotal and then load to the device via usb.
I also have no interest in any cloud based storage.
In general I have all goggle apps disabled. In the rare case I do use the play store I have to first enable Google Play Services and Google Play Store and then once the specific app is installed I re-disable Google Play Services and Store. Also I only go online to use the Xfinity and Peacock apps, everything else I do offline.
So everything worked as I wanted it until at some point I allowed an Android 11 "security patch" to install on one of my Android 11 devices. Immediately I could no longer install any APK file on that device (see attached). Note that previously I could install apps with the Nova7 launcher, the Files app, the Files-by-google app and Firefox, all of which are enabled to install unknown apps. Now all of these methods result in the same error message (see attached). Still no problem installing on the Android 10 device or the other Android 11 device that I've kept from updating.
So does anyone know how I can get back to being able to install APK's? I've followed the standard recommendations of restarting the device, making sure install unknown apps is enabled and reset app preferences and the only thing that I see to do at this point is a factory reset. A factory reset would cause me a whole lot of pain to set things back up to how they were before and I'm not even sure that a factory reset is guaranteed to fix this.
Can anyone help me?
A factory reset won't undo the update.
If that is the cause and there's no work around you would need to reflash to the version without the update. System upgrades/updates tend to break things...

That's what I was afraid of.
At this point for $59 I can throw out the old one and buy another but that brings up the question of how to disable system updates.
Would rooting the device solve the problem?
So far I've been able to do everything I wanted to do using adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 <package_to_disable>.
But given I'm going to throw the device out if I can't fix this, it seems like the perfect candidate to risk trying to root.

It looks something like this. I use Package Disabler to kill this parasite, it's the first apk I disabled... with extreme prejudice
A ADB edit will work too.

The Package Disabler app that you showed in your screenshot looked like a better way to go that what I've been doing which is to use Application Inspector along with ADB but I've had some problems trying to install it.
For one thing they change a couple of things in MI settings and I don't have that category of setting. The bottom line is that I still haven't been able to get PD to work although the set-device-owner command did seem to work and resulted with the following:
C:\ADB>adb shell dumpsys device_policy
Current Device Policy Manager state:
Device Owner:
admin=ComponentInfo{com.pdp.deviceowner/com.pdp.deviceowner.receivers.AdminReceiver}
name=
package=com.pdp.deviceowner
isOrganizationOwnedDevice=true
User ID: 0
Enabled Device Admins (User 0, provisioningState: 3):
com.pdp.deviceowner/.receivers.AdminReceiver:
uid=10156
followed by a whole bunch of other stuff.
At this point it seems best to forget about Package Disabler and just continue with Application Inspector and ADB but I'm worried that the device owner change I made is going to screw me up sooner or later.
My question is do I have to do (yet another) factory reset and reinstall all my stuff or is there an easier way for me to undo this owner setting?
PS. I suddenly got a notification "this device belongs to your organization" This must have something to do with the owner thing.

The Package Disabler app that you showed in your screenshot looked like a better way to go that what I've been doing which is to use Application Inspector along with ADB but I've had some problems trying to install it.
For one thing they change a couple of things in MI settings and I don't have that category of setting. The bottom line is that I still haven't been able to get PD to work although the set-device-owner command did seem to work and resulted with the following:
C:\ADB>adb shell dumpsys device_policy
Current Device Policy Manager state:
Device Owner:
admin=ComponentInfo{com.pdp.deviceowner/com.pdp.deviceowner.receivers.AdminReceiver}
name=
package=com.pdp.deviceowner
isOrganizationOwnedDevice=true
User ID: 0
Enabled Device Admins (User 0, provisioningState: 3):
com.pdp.deviceowner/.receivers.AdminReceiver:
uid=10156

Not sure as I never used that approach. I use whatever comes in handy...
