Anyone know how to totally uninstall facebook and install 3rd party Facebook??
You need to be rooted to uninstall it completely as there are few services of Facebook installed as system app asides from Facebook app itself.

Yes i am rooted but which file i need to delete some more??
Use titanium backup too filter. Type facebook. It will show you all apps related to Facebook. Uninstall them and use "tinfoil for Facebook" it's way more better then Facebook app and it gives you more control over privacy options.

Hi,
I deleted my fb messenger app from my rooted Xperia Pro from system/data and also removed all other traces of facebook from my complete system.
I have the messenger apk with me from backup.
Now i want to again install it so that it runs in the background and shows me always Online on Facebook.
Is there any way i can again achieve that.
Pls note that i only want fb messenger to run in background. Original facebook app i do not want to run in background as i have removed it too.
Pls help.

So I want to remove the G mail app from my phone or at least not use it. This is more of a privacy issue. I want to use a full featured app like K-9 where I can set a master password so users that I lend my phone to momentarily dont start going into my inbox and other folders.
So is there a way to totally remove the gmail app. If not will just removing my account info from the gmail app (if possible) also unsync me from the other Google services connected to my phone?
Thank you
Root phone.
Download root uninstaller.
Uninstall Gmail from app.

You could disable sync in settings. This app may be of some use. If your device is rooted, you can use a root uninstaller app (as mentioned) to remove it (or you could simply delete it from /system/app/ - root still required.)
Just make a backup of the app (incase u need it in future) b4 deleting it from system/app.

use this wonderful app to uninstall any system app u can backup it tooo !! and many more tweaks
I really don't know what else to do
I found those apps at my phone
Facebook app installer
Facebook app manager
Facebook services
xiaomi doesn't allow me to uninstall them even though I completely deleted both Facebook and messenger... and every time I delete them they auto install themselves
Da hell is this !!!!??
Just use the adb uninstall command: https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/

You were right bro, there was facebook services installed under system processes, I uninstalled them, now everything is fine.
Is there a way to do this? Google's contact app doesn't appear in the list for the default calling app. And what do I do in adb to uninstall the default contacts app?
I'm on an unrooted S9+, and have been using adb to remove a bunch of bloatware.
Are you talking about this app?

If so then it most likely will not show up as an option for the default calling app.. That's because it's not an actual calling app like Samsung contacts (which seems to bundle the dialer app in it). The Google Contacts app (linked above) is strictly a contact manager/sync app

Oh ok. So if I use adb to uninstall the default contacts app, will Google contacts and the phone app still work?

Considering it's not a bloatware item and it's integration with the existing dialer app I would just leave the contacts app alone. There is no harm in leaving it installed.
I would just install and use the Google Contact's app. If prompted by Google Contacts app to select a dialer app you can choose from what is displayed as options for use.
