Ok. So I've turned off allow notification dot and allow sound on the device.
I've turned off show notifications in app and i still bloody get em! Anyway to stop em or is this built in sony voodoo?
I would like to know this as well. I did the method from another thread using ADB to uninstall frozen apps, but I can't find the application folder to try to remove whatsapp, and you can't disable it completely. If anyone knows how to completely get it off the phone without having to root that would be awesome.
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.entrance

Is it possible to uninstall some of the pre-installed apps that I don't use. ie. Google Talk, Email, News and Weather. Whenever I try my Nook just says that it was unable to uninstall them. I also tried using adb uninstall but that doesn't seem to work either.
what rom are you running?
I used the auto-nooter 2.12.25.
I would imagine that you could use ADB to remove anything you wanted to, but I'm not exactly sure what that would do to the stability of the thing.
Anyone have any tips in disabling bloatware, like the microsoft apps? Think it would be good to have a thread on it.
I've already uninstalled facebook by running the follow commands in adb:
Code:
adb shell
pm uninstall --user 0 com.facebook.services
pm uninstall --user 0 com.facebook.katana
pm uninstall --user 0 com.facebook.system
pm uninstall --user 0 com.facebook.appmanager
Anyone know how to do the same for the microsoft apps, what about the alternative which is to disable the apps? I see a lot of apps I will never use that I cannot disable. Is there a good app on the play store that will let me disable these apps? For example I would like to disable the gallery and use Google Photos directly, or maybe Samsung Health.
I've also remapped the bixby button with bxActions, the benefit of doing it this way is I haven't had to go through the Bixby setup process first.
So if anyone has any other tips of knows the package name of the microsoft apps, would be to good to have it all in one thread,

AdHell3 is the way to go.
Oh fair enough, cheers will take a look.
If anything I've been using package disabler pro.. Disabled all the bloatware. Definitely running much smoother.

Do you have a list of apps you disabled or can you export your XML file? Thanks.
Second - Adhell 3
system wide adblocking PLUS the ability to disable whatever you want...
Code:
pm list packages | grep microsoft
This will list you all package names containing Microsoft.
Same can be done for linkedin and others.

Same here. I uninstalled it on my note 9 I purchased it on originally, and now when installing it on the s10 plus, I keep getting a failed to verify license error.

Which version are you using. I have installed 15.0 which worked on my S9+ & now S10E ( snaps)
Apparently the one I had purchased for my GS9+ doesn't work so I had to buy the new version 15, works now.
Unlocked?
I purchased the Unlocked ver 10e from BBuy. This model does not have all that crud The only stuff is the Google and Samsung apps. I am glad I don't have to force remove that carrier stuff. So I don't need root yet. :cyclops: :fingers-crossed:

Check and see if you get VoLTE, Wifi calling and HD calling. Most of the time, at least on carriers like AT&T, they won't provision those features for an unlocked phone...

The dev does that on purpose to make more money. Apparently he does this every time Samsung releases a phone. Very shady
Very shady indeed
I am more interested in completely disabling bixby
Where can I get the list of apps as "com.facebook.services"?
I cant get Adhell 3 to work

I agree but so are these phone companies, they are doing the same exact thing, coming out with small, incremental upgrades each year so if you spend $1000 on a phone each year, spending a couple bucks on a new app isn't going to make or break the bank for anyone.
I have a Vortex Beat 8. It's a cheap Chinese phone and doesn't have its own forum here. I have adware apps that keep installing themselves, and I think that some process built into the rom, from the factory, is causing it. Does anyone have any tips on what I can do to stop this process?
The biggest problem, with the adware, is that I'm using the phone as a security camera using the Alfred app, and once the ad pops up on the phone, the camera shuts off. I can't turn off the wifi, because I need it enabled for Alfred.
I've factory reset the phone, and disabled or uninstalled all the apps I thought looked suspicious, and yet somehow, occasionally, it will reinstall the apps. Every time I clear, uninstall and disable things, I think I've finally got the problem permanently solved, but then out of nowhere the apps are suddenly back. The last time, the phone lasted several weeks before reinstalling the apps. The previous time, it lasted about a day or two.
I believe at least one of the systemapps I disabled somehow reenabled itself, so that may be the culprit. It's called "Wireless Update". There is also a potentially suspicious system app called "Update Service Core", but I can't disable or uninstall that. I've been using "Data usage" to try to see which apps have been active, but it's hard to tell, but it's not clear form the user interface when the activity took place.
Some of the Adware apps are called "Shortcuts" and "Movies-TV". As far as I can tell they're fairly simple apps that use Android System WebView or something similar to display a website, and then popup ads occasionally.
I tried several virus/adware apps and none of them have been able to detect anything.
At some point there was an update from the manufacturer, and afterwards the problem became worse. In hindsight, I should have rejected it. As far as I know, there are no alternative roms, on the internet, for this device.
I factory reset again and this time I disabled:
Adtime
News and rewards
(System)
Duraspeed
Mobile services
wireless update
Internet
Shortly afterward, the adware app/game Red Block installed itself.
I uninstalled Red Block and installed a firewall app called NoRoot Firewall. Through the firewall I gave internet access to Alfred, Google Play, and some other Google related things. Update Service Core was requesting access and I denied it. Here's hoping that denying Update Service Core was enough to stop this madness.
I'm still struggling with this. I followed the directions at https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/216616-removal-instructions-for-adups/ to uninstall adups for the current user. You can also find more info here:
https://blog.malwarebytes.com/andro...-come-pre-installed-with-unremovable-malware/
I used
Code:
adb shell pm list packages -f
to get the full list of packages and uninstalled adups and also a lock screen using:
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.adups.fota
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.adups.fota.sysoper
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 io.appservice.lockappblack
However, the lock app uninstalled itself later as well as:
Movies-TV
Red Block
Shortcuts
and a new one called:
CraigsList
I had the firewall disabled at the time thinking that I had finally solved the problem. I don't know if the firewall being enabled could have prevented the reinstallation. Sometimes it crashes, and that might coincide with the apps being reinstalled. Also, the lock app renamed itself to io.appservice.lockappblack6. I also noticed that the built-in browser is called "Liberty-Browser", which makes me wonder if it's related to the lock app which has an apk called "lockAppLiberty.apk".
I noticed an app in my pm list that I didn't noticed last time: package:/system/priv-app/Ignite-Sliide_3.1.025-1405_releaseProduction/Ignite-Sliide_3.1.025-1405_releaseProduction.apk=com.dti.sliide It's not in the normal apps list and it looks sketchy af. I think it's DT Ignite, which is a known bloatware app that installs bloatware/adware without your permission. I've uninstalled DT Ignite, as well as the lock screen using the adb method above. I also uninstalled the other apps via normal means.
Here's hoping it sticks this time.
This is talking about the Chinese version of the device, PCCM00.
I remember using ADB and debug mode when the phone first came out to uninstall the ColorOS since it kept me from using Nova Launcher, but now, when I attempt to uninstall the launcher using ADB Shell and the command "pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oppo.launcher", it says DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR. I can still uninstall other system apps and see them erased. There are a couple that tell me the same error, but this is the one I'm concerned about. Has anyone had any problems uninstalling that one? Is there a work-around? Or a specific reason this is happening? Is there a solution?
I have the same version and haven't made it yet. Would also like to have the Nova Launcher.

Yes, due to their integrated work among their apps, they have made it hard to get some components removed. I too expect companies to have modular behaviour in their software!
Even if you make another launcher your default launcher, for example Nova Launcher, then there are some flickering and animation issues (specifically when swiping to go to homescreen) which is a problem created by OPPO and Nova can't do anything more to solve it.
The default launcher also runs in the background continuously, despite trying to shutoff all its integrated services like search, widgets, Lockscreen magazine, etc
Because of which at the end, I'm using its stock apps

My Tab 7 will randomly take multiple pictures without any input from me - I have deleted as many as 900 pictures of the inside of the case and been woken at night by the shutter sound going off continuously.
I have tried removing permissions for Camera to disable it but now get multiple notifications that I need to allow permissions in order for Camera to take pictures (46 notifications when I opened the tablet just now).
Can anyone tell me how to prevent either of these behaviours?
I am seriously considering switching to an iPad.

Remove the case. See if the behavior continues.

No effect - and I still get multiple notifications from Camera about re-instating permissions.
Maybe uninstall and reinstall with ADB?
Pardon my ignorance - ADB?
Android Debug Bridge. Download platform tools. Enable dev options (Google how to). Enable ADB debugging. Connect to PC. Run platform tools in power shel. Do ” adb devices “ to verify your device is connected. Then do “ pm uninstall -k --user 0 package name” replace package name with that apps package name, which you can find using the package name viewer app. Then reinstall with “ pm install-existing package-name “. If you did not get how to start ADB you can Google a better guide, but those commands are how to uninstall and reinstall.
