And uninstall Google junk apps?
They are all locked the phone is rooted however I can install apps from adb on pc easily but not uninstall the pre installed ones?
I'm running XBoarder's GB 2.3.3 ROM Version1.2.2. I flashed it this morning.
The "old" version of Swype is working just fine. However, when I download the Beta.apk and try to install, Swype won't work.
I'm using Titanium to "Freeze" the original Swype so the Beta will load onto my phone. It used to work like a charm, but is not working anymore.
Anyone else having any problems?
Does it Force Close on you?
you have to uninstall completely the old swype. then you have to use a file explorer to remove a file called libswypexxxx.co or something like that. It is located in system/lib. Then you install the beta installer and finally you download the beta and install it through that app. you can also at this point use one of the swype themes, which look amazing.

Adevilfish,
How do I completely uninstall Swype? I go into Settings - Apps - Manage Apps - ALL APPS, and then I scroll down to SWYPE. It does not give me the option to Uninstall. Just to Force Close and/or Clear Data.
What do you do at this point?

It's a system app so you can't use the manage applications setting.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm -f /system/app/Swype.apk
adb shell pm uninstall com.swype.android.inputmethod
adb shell rm -f /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
After that install the beta.

I sincerely appreciate the information, but that could not have made any LESS sense to me.
That was WAY over my head. I'm getting better with this phone stuff, but I clearly still am a "White-Belt Noob".
Forgive the following questions:
What was that?
What do I do with that code?
ADB---Android Device Bridge. How your phone communicates with your computer.
There are many alternatives, but if you want to learn about it, try here.
Or simply download Android Commander, it's a GUI for your computer that allows you to drag and drop or delete. Or use root explorer. There are plenty of ways. Delete the two files (Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so), install the beta.
Can this be done using "Root Explorer"?

Yes. Navigate to those directory file listed in the adb posting above.
Delete those lines
Got it handeld...
Rocking the beta again.
Thank you all for your help!
I was trying to install an app on my Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro with Android Oreo 8.0 but couldn't because there was some package name conflict. So I decided to uninstall the conflicting package using adb. The package was com.samsung.android.app.clockpack. I searched on Google about this package and the only information I got was that it was some clock like app whose APKs were available online. So I thought uninstalling it would be safe. But it turned out to be anything but safe.
The app which I was trying to install still had that conflicting package name problem and after uninstalling the package I realized that it was, in fact, the app required to show the clock on the lock screen. Initially I had no problem after uninstalling that package. The default clock faces were still present and it seemed as if nothing had changed. Only after a few minutes did I notice that the clock had disappeared from my phone's lock screen. I tried restarting the phone but to no avail.
I had taken the help of this XDA tutorial to uninstall that package. And I had read the warning about having to factory reset the phone to recover the uninstalled system apps. I was ready to face the situation if it arises.
In the same tutorial I also noticed this sentence:
This is a good thing, however, as it means that these applications truly aren’t being uninstalled from the device, they are just being uninstalled for the current user

So I want to know, if the app isn't truly uninstalled from my phone, is it possible to re-install it somehow? If it's possible then it'll be greatly helpful as it will save me from wasting my time to factor reset my phone and re-install all of my apps. Thank you.

Try using the exact same command that was used to "uninstall" the app for the current user, but this time, when you type the command, change "uninstall" to "install".
“pm install -k --user 0 <name of package>”
Instead of:
“pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of package>”

I had tried doing that but it hadn't worked. Anyway, I have factory reset my phone. Thanks.
Can anybody explain to me why system apps like Netflix reappear after uninstalling with Titanium Backup and deleting the file itself using the root explorer fails and deleting via adb didn't work either?
UB and my boot image is patched with magisk 19.2, the modules work fine...
1. adb shell pm list packages
2. find what you need to delete
3. you are the winner
Hello! I was wondering what happens if i uninstall the Theme app (com.huawei.android.thememanager)
I uninstalled themenager before I read "DO NOT". I tried installing it back with adb but it says "INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE"
Any help would be much appreicated.
I was able to install it back with "adb install -r -d".
How do I push it back as a system app?
