Hello!
I want to disable some bloatware and I heard bk disabler was the way to go but apparently it does not work anymore.
Is there any possible alternative to this?
Cheers

Package Disabler Pro
This works fine for me.
Do you have to set device owner through adb? I got the message about KNOX permission exception in adb windows.

Thanks. I think the issue with me was I need to connect to the internet
In my S8+ days I was using Adhell, it was working great, but the Samsung Enterprise Alliance account + generated key is needed...

Both do the same. I like bk disabler cause i can actually see the apps running apps. How much ram space are they using, i didnt see this with other PD.

Thats a great write up, the detail is impressive.
But pulling the battery? The S5 you used is ancient at this point, maybe wise to note the device in the post and a disclaimer that using another may yield different results.
People on here dont pay much attention to detail so just because its in the S5forum doesnt mean they will clue in lol.
That and newer sammy software/android version is much different than whats on the S5 people may get a surprise using that method on the S9 (i haven't tried it so cant be sure).

That's a good point, Force70. I added the caveat to the write-up; thanks. I've never had a phone without a removable battery, so not sure how to power off such a phone when the processor hangs, in a boot loop, etc. TWRP 3.2.1-0 requires a first boot to recovery after flashing, so Odin auto-boot to system after flash feature won't work. Buying a phone without a removable battery seems to me to be a really bad idea for various reasons. For one, I must be taken kicking and screaming to the phone store to buy a new phone as I find it such a hassle. So, I might need to replace the battery during the phone's life. A sealed-in battery appears to me like built-in obsolesence perpetrated by the manufacturer. I guess it doen't matter much for people who change phones ofen, though.
Cheers!

On the newer devices pressing and holding volume down, plus home plus power simulates a battery pull generally.
So not a total problem but battery pull was a sure thing lol

Before that, backup all your stuff, because you should also factory reset.

you mean unroot right?
Don't unroot. Go into the android development and hacking forums and find a script to make your phone faster, and flash it in CWM recovery. If you can't do that, overclock your phone using the No Frills CPU Control app off the Play Store. Make sure both sliders are at the end and that your governer is Performance. Also, try out Auto Memory Optimizer, that's a good app for retaining your speed. And of course, always close apps when you aren't using them.

That's not how my friends S4 works, it is extremely responsive and fluid. Apps work without hiccups and even multi tasking is awesome. The first thing that came to my mind when you posted your phone's symptoms were, did you purchase it brand new from a shop? Is it on stock FM? Did you actually check it at the store before your purchased it?
Yours could be a FW or a HW problem. Is it possible to take the phone back to the store and have them fix/replace it before attempting software fixes?
Does That prompt appear on every boot or only when a sensor detects an issue?
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
I've been wondering that as well. Because I'd swear mine was snapped on correctly and it still flashed that warning. It does it for the charging port cover too but only when its actually open.

I think it's on boot and every time you unplug a USB cable from what I can tell. Waiting to find a way to disable that notification and the dumb volume warning that was also on the previous Galaxy phones. I wish Samsung gave you a way to disable them, but maybe they're worried someone is going to leave it open, dunk it in a glass of water then start complaining about how it wasn't really as waterproof as promised...

Ok cool, I wasn't sure if Wanam was working with the GS5 yet. I'm on the fence about holding out for a root that doesn't trip Knox, but I might just go for it.

IMO knox really doesnt seem to matter in America. The only real reason for knox is that the international version has to be sent directly to Samsung for any warenty, repair etc. That is more or less Samsung's way of telling if its been tampered with. We would have to go to T-mobile for repair or warrenty. T-mobile doesnt really seem to care about knox as they only check for actual physical damage like water damage. Actually, if your on the Jump program they will now (with certain restrictions) replace your device even if its your own fault.

This may be of help. It's in the At&t S5 forum, but I've checked and the file is in TiBu for the SM-G900T also, although I haven't tried the instructions in the following link:

Hi all I thought I would start a thread for this phone because I just successfully rooted mine! MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE DRIVERS FOR YOUR PHONE + ADB DRIVERS INSTALLED! The only method I got to work was jcase's pwn method from the root with restore by bin4ry tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460). After that I installed SuperSU from the play store and voilà! Full root access!
Xposed framework + GravityBox work well.
If this method doesn't work, try Root Genius (you can find it in replies within this thread)(there is also our own forum over at androidforums). Some people have had success with it. And if you've already tried root genius, try this one. It seems this phone is tricky to root as different methods work for different people!
Awesome - I have this on T-Mobile and it's a decent little piece. I might try this as well; thanks for the post. Seems it's the only thread on XDA so far about this phone.

Has anyone tried a stock ROM on this yet?

Haha all we got is the stock ROM. And a locked bootloader. The method in the OP should work to root it tho. Then you can get an app like link2sd or titanium backup to uninstall system apps. Be careful what you get rid of tho, I just get rid of the metro/T-Mobile stuff and google+, play books, play games, etc.

i actually used roootgenius to root it, trust me i thought this program was fake or a virus but it worked.
the only thing is im taking the phone back now because the audio quality is horrible and the UI design is for people of years 80+ (no offense)
really good phone with terrible audio and geezer UI designs. (I can barf looking at the dialer)
anyways now im looking for the stock rom because i did root it and deleted system apps with out making a back up -_-.
if i do a full reset will the system apps come back?

All of the google apps and metro/T-Mobile stuff should be safe. Anything that you can search for on the play store and find should be safe. Anything that's not on the play store I just freeze and leave there since this phone isn't cramped for storage space and I don't know if there is a way to flash a restore as of yet.
My new favorite home launcher - APUS. Much better than our outdated Kyocera launcher.

I'm sorry, I should have noted ALWAYS LEAVE THE STOCK LAUNCHER ON YOUR DEVICE!! This is just to be sure that if for some reason your new launcher of choice gets messed up or you accidentally uninstall it, you'll still have a 'backup' launcher. Otherwise you'd be screwed and have to find a way to restore.

Is it possible for com.tmobile.pr.adapt to force Super SU to grant root access?
I noticed it got access and I dont remember ever allowing it. This happened after using Ti backup to uninstall T-Mo My Account.
I've since uninstalled the ctpa (for short) diagnosticware so the visible and immediate problem is gone.
But I'm afraid I tripped the root notification to T-Mo servers. I'm also scared that Super SU was somehow compromised.
Does anyone know more about this?
I have LG-H901 (T-Mobile V10), bootloader unlocked, rooted w/ TWRP and Super SU installed. Factory ROM has not been changed.
it shouldnt force su access, I used xposed and root cloak to hide it from asking for root
I made a copy of it with titanium back up and deleted it, no problems.
You didn't trip anything, don't worry.

I realize that, but if you search the threads, all it does is report analytics / diagnostics / and modified systems to t-mobile, we've known this since the phone debuted 2 months ago. And if you are that concerned about system integrity, freezing it doesn't break dependencies, like both moving or removing would.

That is a good habit in general, but pointless in this case, as Adapt Client is a piece of spyware garbage. There is absolutely zero benefit to keeping it.

Some people may at one point want to accept an OTA update.
In that case you need an unmodified system with this garbage intact.
I agree that it is a useless piece of spyware garbage.
However there may still be a need for it for some people at some point.

Leaving crapware on your phone defeats the whole purpose of rooting, really, IMHO. If you can root, you can flash an .img file or a ZIP to update to the latest version. OTAs only make sense if you're stock, unrooted.

Looks like it's not a sure thing just yet...
I'm already capping mine to 90% since the press release of battery cell issue.
Yeah. I just charge it but never let it charge to 100%. Heck a lot of plugging in and unplugging the entire day.

Why not use a debloat tool to disable the two SDM apks on the phone? That is what I did, it was my understanding that this would stop any automatic updates from happening. Unless Samsung has a backdoor to enable the SDM apk's or another way to push an update that I am not aware of.

Sure. They are called "System updates". In package disabler pro, which I also use, they are near the bottom of the list of apps to disable.

I have had those two SDM's disabled from almost day one I got my phone. I did take the early OTA, so I enabled these to do that then disabled them again after that. The early OTA wasn't anything big and in my research about it I went ahead and took it. But I won't be taking any OTA that caps my battery at 60%. No way, not thanks. I don't think there is anything wrong with my N7 or it's battery (one can never know for sure I guess) and it's been working flawlessly. It does not get hot during charging or any other time and I have apps to monitor those things. Still, I will be swapping my phone for the new Note 7 once they are available. I am just not going to gimp this one capping the battery at 60%.

Hopefully the replacements will reach me before thw update does... That's just a hope tho.
Just to chime in but i dont have them 2 files. Could it be they're named differently on my exynos version?

I get nothing like this on my French Note 7
I've disabled
com.sec.android.soagent ==> Software update
com.wssynccmldm ==> Software update
com.samsung.firmware.sensorhub ==>UrgentFWUpdateSensorHUb
com.samsung.android.firmware.tsp ==> UrgentFWUpdateTSP
Seems to work, but the orange 1 on settings icons is still there
I found that US customers get an IMEI Verification system to see if your phone is affected ... but in France, nothing like this ...
I've to wait until Orange sell Note 7 to public and exchange mine directly ...:crying:
