Trying to debloat without root on Lollipop 5.1.1 using debloater
Hi fellas,
I have been using the Debloater program to disable apps on my (unrooted) Samsung Galaxy Note5 (Verizon). The program recognizes my phone and when I disable an app, it is sent to the Disabled section in Applications -> Application Manager. The problem is that when the phone sleeps or is rebooted, all the disabled apps reappear. I assume a system service is restarting them, but I have no clue which service that is and I don't want to go through blindly disabling the 350+ (!!) apps preinstalled with the phone. The only app I found that may be responsible is 'PreloadInstaller.apk', which I disabled to no avail.
Does anyone have any idea what app or apps are responsible for restarting the unwanted applications? I really don't want to resort to rooting my phone if possible, and definitely don't want to ROM it. This phone is almost $700; I don't want to permanently mess it up in any way.

Is there any way to remove Facebook from my unrooted stock HDC Flyer (Best Buy 16GB WiFI)?
It keeps asking me to agree to the licensing and no matter what I select, it comes up every couple of days.
It's dRivING me nuTZ!!!!!!!!
The only way that I know of that you can remove "bloatware" is being rooted, and using an app like Titanium Backup or using adb in Android SDK to remove it. If Uninstall is grayed out in Menu - Settings - Manage Applications area for FB, then root is required.
the only way is rooting your device and install root uninstaller on it and injoy
I have a Virgin Mobile LG Optimus F3 and I rooted it a while back, after thus it kept nagging me to update to the V6 firmware.
I then went and got "Disable Service" and used that on "Google Services Framework". All was well... for a time.
I don't know what happened or what I installed, but now the damn thing has come back like a zombie and won't die. I even used "Disable Service" again and it keeps re-enabling itself somehow.
A. Has anyone had this problem and managed to kill the System Update once and for all, again.
B. Is there a way to see what is enabling the service in the GSF so I can either uninstall it or disable that.
C. If there is no solution, is there a modified GSF floating around with the update service/Update permission patched to off.
Things I've tried are:
Disable Service
AutoStars (older program)
Rom Toolbox (Autostar manager)
Lucky Patcher (Change the apk, rebuild and install) -> This fails as it says it's installed the rebuilt APK but it never does and I have to re-unbackup from Titanium
Things that work but are not a real solution:
Titanium Backup -> Freeze the damn thing
I would like to be able to go into the Play Store whenever I want without having to keep unfreezing it. It also prevents programs from updating automagically.
Was there ever a solution to this? The update notifications are driving me nuts.

I'm sorry if this is a common issue but I have looked here and elsewhere for an answer.
I have a Galaxy S4 running stock Lollipop, rooted. My problem is in the settings Greenify keeps being deactivated in Accessibility/Services. I have 'frozen' Samsung Smart Manager because I thought that was causing the problem but it doesn't seem to be. I am not running any other system manager apps. Furthermore I have even tried wiping my phone and running it for the weekend with only the stock apps on it, then adding Titanium so I could freeze some apps like Knox and Smart Manager.
Any advice would be appreciated.

On a rooted device running Greenify in either root or boost mode, Accessibility will not remain enabled. It is required to be enabled only when you run Greenify in non rooted mode.

Thanks for the reply. :good:
Hi guys, I recently rooted my phone, installed Xposed with only 2 modules, greenify and root cloak, I also have titanium backup and adaway for root apps, I've uninstalled everything that requires root.
Now ever since rooting my phone, I'm not able to book Uber or any cab using Google maps, I had no issues whatsoever on non rooted ROM, so just wondering if this is being caused by root somehow or it's Google maps issue. I'm still running stock oxygen os with mm.
Attaching a screenshot to help you understand what it looks like when trying to book a cab, the two tabs at the bottom won't go away. Deleting app data temporarily resolves this but it comes back in no time.
Hi Experts,
I have a question about a Samsung A3 2016 (sm-a310f). On this device there are tons of apps installed mainly by the provider without option to uninstall them.
Is there any way to uninstall them without rooting the device?
And if not and I have to root the device how can I unroot it again ?
The device is used also for online banking apps which might not work after the root any longer.
So any help is highly appreciated.
cheers

and PS what is the issue with this Knox counter?
It is possible to go into settings then apps (on my note 8). Then disable individual apps. Also in launcher you may need to hide apps you can't disable. If storage space is not the problem then just disable. Uninstalling some apps can cause Carrier up dates to glitch.
I use BkPackage disabler and save a profile. One click and all selected are enabled or disabled.

There is no way to delete preinstalled apps without ROOT access. You can only freeze or disable them. Look for Magisk (systemless root), it can be easily installed and deleted if needed.

Yes, you can. There's actually an XDA article written on this very topic. It works for most, though, it may not work for all. Give it a shot, and if it doesn't work... root, remove whatever you need to, and unroot. Just use Magisk if you need to go this route. It can unroot itself. Here's the guide.
