If it is bloatware, installing a clean rom might help, yes. But you also have the option, if you're rooted, of disabling/uninstalling the bloatware apps. Searching "System app remover" in the app store is a good start.
Thank your for your response
do u have any suggestions for rooting app ?
Depends on the device and the Android Version.
Now, can you uninstall any of those apps without root?
Do they just redownload themselves?
i can uninstall them but they comes every 15h again (around 5-6 apps always same) but always installs 2-3 of them
then i delete them and after 10-15 h other 3 installs
and again and again
Hmm.. If this happens even after factory resetting, then I'd say you could try to disable automatic updates... Or, if there's custom ROM's for your device, try one out! Otherwise, I don't know what to tell ya.
yes it happens after factory reset
there is no custom rom for this phone
but i got stock (official rom) which i dowloaded
but im afraid its same like one is on phone atm but im not sure
i never installed rom or custom rom so im leaving that for last option
hello
i managed root phone and i got this
is it safe to remove this apps
does anyone know can i delete this bloatware apps or not ?
is any of them miss labeld as bloatware ?

Hi guys,
I am currently experiencing a frustrating issue with my android device and I am stumped at how to fix it.
The device in question is a Dynavin car stereo that runs the Android platform.
I have updated the ROMS and even roll backed to older versions but this issue persists. I am now using a totally modified ROM created by a user on here for my device.

}
My issue is, every 5 or 6 boot ups of my device all my settings seem to revert to default. Well not "all" but I will explain in further detail.
When my issue arises, google maps/navigation/mail will not load, it will crash and go back to the home screen.
Google PLAY will revert to Google Market, when I log into market, it will update all google programs.
Once updated, maps/navigation/mail all work perfectly fine.
My installed programs are unaffected to the extent that they do not need updating, however, all their settings which I adjust, revert back to normal, all the dialogue boxes return, its like as if I'm running the program for the first time again.
Does anyone know what the issue could be and how to fix it? It doesnt happen all the time with every boot up but it does happen quite frequently.
When there is no issue, the system works fine and requires no updates etc.
I feel it may be something to do with the ROM? Should files be moved to the memory card to preserve certain settings? But if I do that, how will Android know where to find these files?
Any ideas, support would be greatly appreciated!
Just a suggestion, if you are flashing ROM I asume you have root access. Titanium backup and link2sd will allow you to freeze market updater (system apk) and this should prevent you from receiving market updates.

mm, dont think the device has root access.
It can be flashed by just inserting a updated ROM on a memory card which picks it up on boot up.
I may try and install something for root access and try what you have mentioned.
Hi guyz , i rooted my galaxy s3 and i installed an app wich helped me to delete few sys apps , after i deleted some sys apps it's much smoother but ... i can't set any kind of live wallpaper because i don't have the live wallpaper selector , i don't want to loose my apps and my files , so don't tell me to flash it again , i want just the live wallpaper selector , i use XXELLA FW europe version , thanks in addvance
If you didn't take a backup first, then all you can do us flash again. You wont lose anything but still, take a nandroid backup first and titanium.
I'd recommend flashing wanam lite as a touchwiz rom. You'll get all the things you NEED and none of the crap you don't
...
You could even download a rom and extract it from there....

I should have listened to lookout scanner and blocked this program. But, ignoring that and installing the apk later that day is when I noticed LWP picker and all apps 'unfortunately' quit working. For whatever reason, Titanium Backup had the app 'Live Wallpaper Picker' froze after a few hours of searching. So, if this helps anyone stumped as to why the setting is all of a sudden gone, Your welcome.
So i just tried to root my SGS2 i9100 with SOC but it seems it's stuck on Step #5.

Can anyone help me proceed?
PS: If i force close the program since it froze will it affect my phone or something?
I think you can safely force close it. Which firmware are you on? Why are you rooting your phone? Are you planning to install a custom ROM?

I'm using Stock 4.1.2 (as always) and i have been looking around those useful apps which pretty much always happends to require root, so i told myself "why not, it's one click away", right?
I suggest you try this method then:

Thanks for your help but i'm not that power user and i don't want to deal with flashing , kernels , triangles etc.
This "one click" method seemed okay with me and if i can't get it to work - i'll just remain unrooted and that's it.
I just want to be sure that freezing on step 5 didn't affect my phone at all!?

It shouldn't affect your phone, but I can't guarantee anything.
To be honest, the method I suggested is a lot more easier then the SOC method you tried. You never know how sweet candy is until you try it out yourself.
I seem to recall something along the lines of 'SuperOneClick won't work with anything > 2.3.6'. Put it this way, the thread hasn't been updated since just after ICS came on the scene. Take the advice you've been given & root your phone in less than 5 minutes with another method.
Edit - Using a method like that on firmware it's not meant to be used on given the level it works at (ADB) could bork your phone much more easily than other root methods which actually work.

I Will Lost all file in my phone?
Tried Evereything! Did find the best solution. OK Google works!
I just got adb tool and drivers and removed ALL of the bloatware including the voice assistant, store, cloud you name it. I installed Nova Launcher as that seems to be very good and most like Anroid 9 Pie in terms of customisation. Romoved oppo launcher of course and reboot.
Set up Google Assistant and then you have the option in the settings with Nova launccher to have it as enabled all the time and disco!
The only thing you can't do is wake it up from locked screen with Hey or O|k google. However as soon as you have swiped in and its had a look at your head everything is voice activated. You have to occasionly choose and confirm the app mainly at first time off using that command such as which clock (I had the system and google one) for timer and alarm sets and which calender or reminders etc and same with notes. However it is just a click 1 time and then you never notice you are using an inuriating chinese variant!
You have to block everything in the settings for the remaining stock apps that you either can't delete or shouldn't.
Also I think having an Oppo ID was useful and will be if anything goes wrong. Although I'm told all the apps and everything come back after a factory reset but you never know.
I'm actually happy with the phone now and enjoy using it ffor the first tome since getting it and being sorely dissapointed!!
'll try and answer any questions but there are lists and links on here ffor the adb platform tools, drivers and commands etc as well as a list of programs safe to delete which is a little outdated as there are now more but the risky ones iI still agree are probably not worth rocking the boat with.
Not sure about other launchers but I had loads installed and Nova came recomended and seems to be unique in being able to set the gogle assistant as default because otherwise I would have found a post like this one by now sureley??
Get it done, its life changing and low risk high reward!!
PS. You can now use any widget you want to your hearts desire with this configuration and so far nothing in chinese has popped up and its ully customised to my liking and very usable!!!

Hello everybody
First time poster thanks for the help in advance. Please note I am a total novice when it comes to anything like rooting or unlocking boot but i can follow instruction if you leave them.
I bought my phone from Ali express global launch event. When I received the phone i noticed some basic functionality is missing for example : Gallery, File explorer, CAMERA APP. and so on.
It doesnt make sense, my camera works through whatsapp and such but no dedicated app.
I am starting to think the firmware was faulty. Waited for few updates hoping it will sort itself out, but no luck.
Now I am considering installing stock firmware but I have no idea where to start. I have downloaded few roms "different versions?" but i don't know how install them on my phone. They are on the root of the phone storage but i assume i must root my phone to get fast boot ? because i tried restarting with holding volume down, after language selection i can chose between wipe and reboot no update option.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
If you use the App Drawer view, you may find the missing icons there.
In settings/app-management/app-list you will find all installed apps.

Only found files in app list but I can't open it. Other apps have options of : open, uninstall, and force stop but not this app. For the other apps like camera and gallery they are not there. Do you think a fresh install of stock ROM will help or no ?
If the apps are not displayed in your app list, the best thing you can do is do a factory reset.
Which firmware version do you have on the GT ?
The GT was in its original packaging and shrink-wrapped when you received it ?
Ya it was brand new. Bought from Realme official store.
I see your firmware is A 16 mine is A13 but when I check for update it says am on the latest version?!
Also my Google backup is greyed out so factory reset will set me back big time.
