A friend has Samsung Galaxy s6 edge. Not having data slot card, runs out space.
Software update has been clicked , not installed, pending.
Stopping/disabling clear data or disable system notifications and google play notifications do not work to hide the update.
Does anyone know the file location of System updates to delete the update as it is 1.5G? or a way to hide the notification without ROOTING the phone as this will void warranty. Package disabler roots the phone, so we cannot use it.
Searched in /data/data/ google android gms nothing in there....
You can't access unber root / the files without root the device
You maybe see some stuff but the folders will be empty and not reachable
The /data/data/ needs root access sorry...

Hello. I'm not very experienced with android and recently got a new z ultra (6802). I think it came with 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 i'm not sure, but as soon as i turned it on i was notified to update to 4.4.4. All went well and one of the first apps i installed was clean master. I hadnt tried to root the phone and i was thinking about it mostly in order to get rid of some preinstalled apps, but i found out that clean master had an option to "deactivate" them so they disappeared and all was fine. The last few weeks i loaded the phone with all sorts of useless stuff i wanted to try, and today i tried rooting it using this tool and everything worked ok. Then i did a hard reset and started setting everything up again... But this time clean master, root app delete and 2 other apps of the same type wouldnt uninstall system apps (despite having root access now). Any ideas on what to do? Is it because of the root - should i try to unroot it? Where can i find these ftfs needed? I saw some in the forum but they are for 6833..

Well, clean master is one of the app I hate most. Killing app processes frequently and clearing app caches are the bad ideas for android devices because android system always try to restart apps everytime you kill. So it greatly reduces battery life. Clearing caches can make apps to start slowly.
That's not the point, right? But just a suggestion not to use task killers and cache cleaner if you have enough RAM and storage space.
Ok now for your problem not uninstalling system apps,
-Install ES File Explorer
-Tap the upper left of the app (three striped shape)
-Tap Tools, Tap Root Explorer (not on the button "On") giving/allowing/authorize root access
-Now Tap Mount R/W and choose every partition as R/W then Tap OK
-Let's get back to explorer, Tap the upper left box labelled as "/" (it will redirect you to root of the Device)
-Go to "system" folder in explorer
-There are two folders in Kitkat, namely "app" and "priv-app"
You can now choose apps to be uninstalled that you couldn't uninstall inside these folders by removing any apps (and .odex files) by Long pressing on apps and choose multi apps at once.
For me, I don't delete apps that I wanted to uninstall but I cut them and create a new folder on sd card and paste them all in that new folder for later needs (you can navigate to internal or external storage from the upper right box of the Explorer, to create new folder, tap on the button with "+" sign at the bottom left corner of the app). Don't delete apps that you don't know well because doing so can prevent your device from booting up.
P.S. You can also install apps as system ones in that reverse way (copy, paste from external to system/app). Remember not to include space in the name of the app you wanted to install as system.
Remember to restart the devices after moving/deleting apps.
I think you now understand how to do. Good Luck, mate.
Thanks for taking the time to help! and es file explorer looks like a really nice app. i followed your instructions and moved some of the apk and matching odex to sd card. the problem is the apps didnt dissapear from the list and as soon as i was done play store was downloading new versions of the apps i moved... what i dont understand is why it worked in the first place when it was new! could it be the sony firmware it came with? since this failed, is there an app to freeze these things?

One thing I left to say that you must restart your device as soon as you finish moving/deleting system apps. After rebooting, the device system will delete app leftovers. It will solve your problem of not disappearing from the list.
hello friends ,
recently XDA posted a way to remove stock apps without root using cmd adb shell command , its actually not a complete removal process instead it hides he app from system and doesn't work at all , but comes back if the device is restored .
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
I removed some of the LETV apps like LeStore , LeMall , Music , Browser , etc
I would like to know which all apps can be removed from Eui 5.9.026S ,but ensures normal functioning:good::good:

You can't remove any of the the system apps using a app. No matter how many times you try. It will restore again. I tried it and finally decided just to disable those things which i don't want.
I successfully removed the SYSTEM UPDATE app of EUI. I tell the method. But i don't know it will work for all. If you removed something you don't know, it will flood error messages. Take a backup before doing it and I'm not responsible if you got phone bricked or flooded with error messages Just install root uninstaller.

It will show the importance of any system app. Except these updater, file manager and the apps you know which can be replaced, don't do anything to the apps marked as key module.
You need a root browser for this. I use solid Explorer.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.solidexplorer2
Give root permission and go to ROOT -> SYSTEM - >APPS
all the system apps are here. Just find the one you don't want and delete it or keep it somewere else if you want it again. Reboot the phone. Some apps have services installed as separate app. Most of the google apps will have that. You have to remove both. Or else the service module will show tones of error messages. Be careful in doing this.
Hello everyone,
I currently have the Canadian Model of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge (SM-G925W8 with Android 6.0.1). I have need to convert an application on my phone to a System App, which is something you can only do while rooted. After performing some research, it appears this website provides a root methods to use on this particular phone. The thing is - once I convert the application to a system application, I need to revert back to an unrooted phone (obviously with the system app still in tact). My question is: after performing the conversion, how to I return to an unrooted phone while keeping the converted app a system app?
Please let me know,
Thank you.
Can i ask which app?

Sure, it's a GPS Spoof app (obviously for Pokemon Go). I actually have a Galaxy S8+ but, with the game's increased security and Android 7.0's security updates, spoofing has been disabled on that phone altogether. I still however have my S6 Edge which is on Android 6.0.1 therefore bypassing a lot of Android 7.0's security. After a lot of research, it appears that the only way to spoof your location within that app is to move the GPS spoof app as a system app, then unrooting so the game will play. (This prevents the need to turn on Mock Locations within developers menu which Pokemon Go flags).
I attempted to run the root linked above however it caused my phone to hang on the boot screen. I'm currently trying to fix this by flahsing stock firmware however Odin keeps telling me it failed....not the usual PASS notification. Help would be appreciated :angel:

Oh I see, have you tried magisk and magisk hide, I use it with Pokemon go and it doesn't detect root.
When you say it hangs on boot screen do you mean the Samsung logo or powered by Android logo? It can hang on Samsung logo for a short while it's normal.
Finally what error are you getting in odin and we can fix that first?

Thank you for your quick response! I managed to successfully flash the stock firmware on the phone, allowing me to get past the Boot screen (the samsung screen is where it froze before). I attempted to flash the root package once more and this time it was successful!
I then opened Titanium Backup, converted my GPS Spoofing app to a system app, which caused my phone to say "Processing...". This screen remained here for the duration of the entire night. When I woke up this morning, it STILL said "Processing...". I then force closed TB and rebooted the phone. When it restarted, I checked Settings - Applications - Application Manager and, yes, I can see my GPS Spoofing app listed under the system apps dropdown menu. The problem now is...how do I launch it to use with pokemon Go? I'll need to unroot, figure out how to launch the application, and hopefully it will work then...

Now that you have it installed as a system app does it show in the app drawer? What I can tell you is I have tried a lot of GPS spoofing apps for Pokemon go and none of them actually worked. You can always flash magisk and hide Pokemon go from detecting root status and passing safety net. Then you can keep root

Unfortunately, no. The GPS Spoofing app does not appear in the App drawer after converting it to a system app. And Magisk sounds great but, to be honest, I am not interested in keeping root, I just needed the one app to be a system app to hide it from Pokemon Go's flagging (as well as Mock Locations in Developers menu). Do you know where I could launch the app from?

I don't know Sorry, you can try moving the apk to system/priv-app and reboot. But I know the app needs to be hidden from root and safety net to be able to work with Pokemon go.

As far as I know, Pokemon Go cannot see system apps within system\apps or system\priv-app. I will attempt to uninstall the system app and perhaps place the apk file into the suggested folder, ensuring permissions are rw-r--r-- (which I believe is the correct permission settings). After that, i will unroot, allowing my phone to pass safety net, then, in theory, it should work. The only problem is I still need the icon to launch the spoofing app, which is not located in the drawer...if I cannot launch it, it cannot be used.

Hey! A quick update - I don't think I succeeded in getting the GPS Spoofer to be a system app however I semi-got it to work. This particular app has a setting that is called "Privacy Mode" which apparently allows it to hide it from being detected by Mock Location settings in Developer Options. When I use this, I was able to spoof successfully once from my home (real location) however my character would run back and forth like a crazy person. The second time I attempted to spoof from a different location, I signed in successfully however the phone's GPS wouldn't pick up a location and I was in a huge empty field with a GPS error (The location settings were set to GPS only). Do you know how I can get around this to spoof successfully?
Guyz,
On my backup phone, i was messing around and installed kingroot... a total malware.
Then, i formatted by phone and still kingroot is there. Tries deleting from kingroot settings but cant.
Plz inform how the hell shall i completely remove this sh*t?
Not an advanced user hence wont be able to understand complicated removal procedures.
PS: Using Samsung Note 3 Neo

If your device has root access, you can remove King root with other applications or from the King root settings. Uninstall the application with link2sd. If you can not delete the application, you will have to install the stock rom.

Thanks , but after three dots -> i have option to uninstall OR convert to user app.
Under both i get the same error:
"Link2SD could not obtain root access.
Maybe as i formatted my phone, i am no longer rooted and hence the error.
Also, i tried disabling Kingroot from phones builtin "Applications manager" and yes it seems disappeared from my App list on phone, Is it safe to say its no longer working on my phone even in background ?

The application that you deactivated will not run again, but if it really was malware, it probably installed other malware applications. I recommend you to do a complete analysis with several antivirus programs starting with Dr. Web.
Hello everyone,
it seems like with Android 10 the whole freezing/uninstalling process of system apps has changed. And it can also somehow make you fail to install any OTA updates later on.
I couldn't find any definitve answer to some of my questions (maybe because Android 10 is relatively new). So here I go:
Freezing apps:
1. Going into "settings -> apps -> show all apps -> 3 dots -> show system -> disabling any app" is the same as freezing an app with e.g. "TitaniumBackup Pro" or "App Freezer"?
2. I understand that if I freeze an app, another app (or the system) can't call/start the frozen app in case it is needed?
3. Could this lead to system crashes or higher battery drain because of frequent requests of an app trying to call a frozen app?
4. Freezing an app and applying an OTA update will keep the app frozen?
Uninstalling updates of system apps and getting more storage:
So the system app itself is inside /system/ but only the very basic version of it.
Every update of a system app is stored inside /data/.
So basically, uninstalling every update of all my disabled system apps would give me some free usable storage in /data/
5. Is that correct?
6. Uninstalling updates but then applying an OTA update will only (if ever) update the system app but will not add anything to the /data/ location?
7. Or would I have to uninstall the updates manually again from my frozen apps after an OTA to relief the used space in /data/?
OTA Updates failing to install because of freezing:
Tampering with the /system/ partition will make any OTA updates to fail installing. Often it seems to be enough to just mount /system rw.
8. Does that mean freezing on a rooted device via "settings -> apps -> 3 dots -> disable" will already prevent me from installing any OTA update?
9. Does that mean freezing on a rooted device via TitaniumBackup Pro will already prevent me from installing any OTA update?
10. Does the magisk module "Terminal Debloater" work and how is it different from 8. and 9. ?
A lot of questions, I would be very happy if someone could answer them.
Thanks in advance!
