Facebook Chat Enabler Reborn​
Notice: this project has been deprecated.
Hi guys,
as you know the famous Facebook Chat Re-Enabler (old thread's OP available below) stopped working when Facebook updated their app to the v28, now after many hours spent finding a solution in the previous months I'm proud to present this new solution!
I state that personally I don't want to be forced to install an app (which I hate for many reasons) only to use Facebook chat or send/receive its messages.
Some disadvantages of Facebook+Messenger installed at same time:
Increased battery drain: main thread+background ones for services and receivers are always active
Increased load on general resources (like CPU and RAM memory) for the reasons mentioned above
You're forced to install another app to chat while you could safely use an unique (Facebook app)
Advantages of Facebook+Facebook Chat Enabler:
Never executed by the operating system, meaning no more battery drain and no resource eating at all (Facebook app itself drains battery)
Chat and send/receive messages in main Facebook app without Messenger
Download
Since Reborn version's release I will not share Enabler's apks anymore (and you're not allowed to), but a simple app which allows you to download and install suggested Chat Enabler version for the Facebook app found on your device, called Facebook Chat Enabler Helper:
Features:
Easy to use, just two buttons
Facebook Chat Re-Enabler for Facebook app until v27
Facebook Chat Enabler Reborn for Facebook app starting from v28
Override mode to let the user choose what version wants
Support text and little how-to for the user
No extra permissions required:
android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE is required to determine if the device has an Internet connection available
android.permission.INTERNET is required to download and let you install chosen or suggested Chat Enabler version between Re-Enabler and Reborn
android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is required to write in memory the Chat Enabled package which is being downloaded
Root not required
Note for Reborn: it is a modified Messenger package, for several reasons its manifest can't be edited so I had to keep it untouched. Originally requires many permissions which are not used at all by Chat Enabler's modified package, therefore completely safe. I'm not going to track you, your wife or your friends
APK file: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347841072
APK file (mirror): https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9vx6LFBl4vQNHBlNGFSMEk0NHc
Issue report: http://goo.gl/forms/hYglu5VrcM
Warning: In case of devices which have Messenger installed out of the box and not user-uninstallable, Facebook Chat Enabler Helper can't uninstall it. This is the limitation of having Messenger in /system partition, therefore root is required to get rid of it. Do not blame me or my work for this, neither report it in the issue report. It's not my fault!
Instead, follow this:
Search for root methods available for your device and root it
Install Titanium Backup, open it and search for Messenger, then uninstall
Install my app from the links above
Old thread's OP:
**********DEPRECATED**********
Facebook Chat Re-Enabler
Update 29 August: I made a new Facebook Chat Enabler for versions starting from v28 (tested until v44 for now), and finished today to develop and test the Installer which is an user-friendly app to fastly & easily download and install Chat Enabler depending on what Facebook app version is installed on the device. Also features an "Override mode" to choose yourself which Chat Enabler version you want.
Public release scheduled for Sunday 30 August, stay tuned!
Update 5 May: seems that on some devices/ROMs this works even in new Facebook versions. If in your case works, please report in this thread.
Notice: Starting from Facebook v28 this app doesn't work anymore! Please rollback to v27 if you don't want to install the naughty Messenger, until I don't find a solution
Rollback to Facebook v27 how-to:
Uninstall currently installed Facebook
Download v27 according to your Android version (check in Settings->About device->Android version):
Here from Android 2.3 to 3.2
Here from Android 4.0 to 4.4.4
Here from Android 5.0 to 5.1
Install downloaded APK file
Install Facebook Chat Re-Enabler if it's not installed
Chat again without Messenger
For who already has a Facebook version before v28 just install Facebook Chat Re-Enabler
Hello guys. As most of you know, chat in Facebook app doesn't work anymore and now you need to install Messenger app. At the moment is not the same for all the countries, as far as I know they are slowly migrating chat from app to Messenger only.
I made this simple app to enable chat again in main Facebook app without installing Messenger.
Root is not needed and works between Android 2.3 and 5.1, on any device that supports Facebook app.
Disadvantages of Facebook+Messenger installed at same time: HUGE battery drain and RAM consumption, device may slow down etc. (especially low-end devices)
Advantages of Facebook Chat Enabler: It's only an enabler and is never executed by the system, meaning no battery drain/RAM consumption/resource eating at all. (Facebook app itself drains battery)
If you have Messenger installed, uninstall it before installing my apk. After installation you don't need to do anything else, no icon is showed in menu and chat will magically work!
Confirmed working on following Facebook versions:
Any 27.x.x.x.x
Any 26.x.x.x.x
Any 25.x.x.x.x
Any 24.x.x.x.x
Any 23.x.x.x.x
Any 22.x.x.x.x
Any 21.x.x.x.x
Any 20.x.x.x.x+any version before
New updates in future may break this (and to use again Chat Enabler you'll have to install last confirmed working version)
Download new version (26.9KB size + new app name & icon!): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=21048
Old version: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001608389
For devices that have Messenger out of the box, without possibility to uninstall it:
A - root required
Install Root Browser
Navigate to preload (might be here in case of Samsung device) or system/app and search for apk file with Messenger icon
Long press on it and choose "delete", give superuser permission
Download my apk and install it

+1 Can you make work with FB v21.0.023.12. Thanks

Here, latest Facebook version available on Play Store it's 20.0.0.25.15.
May happen that if they remove chat things in a newer version and you update, this app stops to work. Don't update to be sure that doesn't happen

im currently using the official build and i can do chatting even if i dont have a messenger. i didnt exp. that i cant chat without messenger even from the past

Afraid it doesn't work. On can see l list of messages but then a blank screen when I pick one X then it crashes. Using 23.0.0.0.1

What if you made an xposed module that attached to the Facebook app?

Making an xposed module? Hmm... It's better to have an apk, you can also use ART runtime in this way. And at the moment, is compatible from 2.3 to 5.0

Thanks bro!..It works perfectly on facebook 21.0.0.23.12 version!..

Works! Thanks man! Can add normal emotoicons list?

This is strange. The app doesn't touch any settings pertaining to the actual market app. It's completely self contained and accesses data only on the Hawkee severs.

confused on how to use this app?
I need some help understanding what this is, what it does, and how to use it.
Is it a second marketplace that is intended to replace the google marketplace?
If yes then I take it to mean that this app's intended use to to search, download, install, and maintain the apps on your phone?
Is this app intended to be used in conjunction with the google marketplace?
If yes then in what ways: searching, sorting, etc?
Is information shared between this app and the google marketplace? For exmaple if you can download apps from this app then do the downloaded apps also show up as being downloaded in the google marketplace?
The above are some of the questions I was thinking but if when replying you can think of other useful advice and info you want to share in how to use the app that would be appreciated.

I am confused as to how to use this app. Do I use this app instead of the marketplace to search and install apps? Do I install all my apps then install this app and it will learn the kinds of apps I like by scanning my download list from the marketplace?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes this can replace the market in terms of finding new apps. The point of this is to find good, new apps and closely monitor the market. It provides more advanced filters to find specifically what you want. It doesn't scan your apps and offer suggestions. That isn't the goal of this app.

Sorry, I missed the update to your post. The app actually sends you to the market when you choose an app, so yes the downloads count. This app only replaces the searching and browsing process. No data is shared between the two apps.

I just fixed a bug with the price drops not being detected properly. This was a server side fix so no need to update the app.
Sent from my Incredible
I was wondering if I could get some feedback on the name of this app. It's a different concept so I had a hard time coming up with a descriptive name. Some other ideas I had were Hawkee App Subscribe, Hawkee Market Subscribe, Hawkee App Monitor, or Hawkee Market Monitor.
Sent from my Incredible
Once i installed this app i cannot access the "downloads" section in my regular market. it either says theres no connection, or it force closes. Ive tried uninstalling Hawkee, wiping market data, uninstalling/reinstalling regular market, rebooting.....nothing is fixing this problem, which is obviously a major one

This seems to be unrelated. Did you recently upgrade your market app? This app doesn't have any connection with the market app. It only sends you there when you pick an app.
Sent from my Incredible
Nope my last market update was last week. i was browsing my downloads earlier today to check for application updates which i normally do.
i understand that you want to preserve the reputation of your app, and i can respect that. however it seems like a distinct possibility that this app caused this problem. earlier in this thread another poster claimed that this app had an effect on his market, as well.
this is not a personal attack, and there obviously is a chance that both of these incidences are coincidence. but it doesnt sound like it. you may want to look into it, since this app is now public on the forum, youd definitely rather have 2 complaints than several. just a little advice, it doesnt hurt to check, rather than simply sweeping it under the rug.
all i know and can say, aside from i love the idea of your app, ever since installing my market has been malfunctioning, even after a system install/uninstall.
TopShelf, Thanks for the response. I'm sorry to sound like I was so easily dismissing your problem, but I'm on my laptop now and can look into this more thoroughly. I researched the issue you described and came up with this thread:
http://www.google.fm/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=5f475fcdfcc22233&hl=en
The conclusion seems to be that it's a problem on Google's end. People were pointing out a few apps that, when uninstalled, fixed the problem temporarily. But it seems there is no permanent fix yet. Some people suggested installing AppBrain in order to update your apps, but that's certainly not a long term solution.

Open Device Manager, or ODM, is a fully free, open source, end-to-end encrypted alternative to Google's Android Device Manager that can be installed in right around 10 seconds. Building on the look and feel of the original ADM, ODM focuses on supporting additional features while giving users the security and privacy of a self-hosted, open source platform.
ODM was created because of the lack of fully open source and secure device managers on the market. While there are solutions that offer open source web components, the Android Applications are not, and are known to use Google Analytics or ad networks that pull information such as IP address, all of which eliminate 100% privacy. ODM overcomes this by offering everything up for grabs on github. We will also be submitting the github repository to F-Droid, an alternative App Store that compiles open source applications directly from github, so you know you're getting a safe APK.
Features include:
Open source web interface
Open source Android Application
All notifications/commands sent through Google are encrypted first
Full AJAX interface
10 second server install
Multi-user support
Multi-device per user support
Last and previous locations
Google maps integration
Lock device
Take photos with rear and front cameras
Alert ringer to locate the phone
Receive an SMS to identify insertion of new SIM
Send a custom notification
Wipe device
Log of all previous activity

That's what it says on your website. Unfortunately, this tools doesn't seem to be ready for the non-freak geeks (yet). Hoping for a simplified installation. Can anyone who tested it already tell me the advantages (excpet being open source) over avast? Thanks for creating this, @Fmstrat! Following your project now.
Hi. Are you using GCM (Google Cloud Messaging)?
I'm running Cyanogenmod without any gapps installed and I was wondering if this would work considering it's self hosted (which is great by the way).
Thanks.

i tried to upload the web panel on my host. i always get PDO error on line 7.
Ill definetly give it a go tonight. Big thanks to the dev for the idea of keeping it open source. I thought i'd never see the day when device managers would be open source but surprise surprise. And that its end to end encrypted adds a whole new punch!

You have to remove it as a device administrator first in your security settings.
Fixed my last problems by installing php5-mcrypt
I currently have got to the point of having the website loaded and saying no devices registered also I have no Google Maps in the backgound which will be a problem with location.
On my phone I put in the settings but now everytime I try opening the app after a second it closes and I just get a message "Unfortunately, Open Device Manager has stopped." I'm running a Galaxy S II with Omnirom based on Android 4.4.2
The youtube video is not working.
There's a possibility to integrate app in the rom like Cerebrus? Maybe in a future?
I have an s4.
I have installed it on my webserver and all is ok execpt 3 thigs:
1) I can't see google maps!
2) when i try to take a photo (front or rear) the apk on phone crashes
3) to access to site i have to rename .htaccess to htaccess.txt (no a big problem..)
Any idea?
Sorry buddy, but your app instantly FC upon load.
The website part was pretty simple and easy to setup, good job.
Maybe there´s a fix for apk ?
I finally have it mostly working. Here are some of my notes on fixing problems I had.
Using a Ubuntu server with the web server initially installed for mythweb
In order to register I had to install php5-mcrypt
In order to actually use any commands I had to install php5-curl
Google Maps only works on Chrome not Firefox (I prefer Firefox and only used Chrome as a test)
The settings on the Android app are very touchy anything wrong and the app just force closes. (Contrary to the video I had to leave ssl on for it to work for me) Note to fix you have to remove the app as a device admin then clear data to restart since it FC's to fast to edit the settings.
Now for the problems that I have left
When trying to locate I see my phone indicates in the notification bar that it's finding the location but the website never actually gives me the location
Taking pictures receives a black 1 inch tall strip not a proper picture (looks like it's just truncated pictures since the top of the area just happened to be black)
The installation on the website was pretty simple and easy. I did that in a few minutes. However, the app force closes on my Xperia U running stock Jely Bean 4.1.2 as soon as I tap the register button on the app!
Any fix?
The app would be great if we can get it to work on most devices!

On chrome i can see map. it' ok for me...if you can fix it and make it ok on other browser will be ok but for now is usable.

Introduction
microG GmsCore is a FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) framework to allow applications designed for Google Play Services to run on systems, where Play Services is not available. If you use your phone without GAPPS this might become a useful tool for you.
microG GmsCore is one of the two core components of the microG project.
More up-to-date descriptions and instructions might be available on the wiki
Instructions
Preparation:
You need a 4/5/6 ROM that is GAPPS-free. Either don't install them or remove them, if your ROM ships them. Please note that microG GmsCore might run on a cleaned stock ROM, but it might also brick it or cause random bugs. Be aware that only latest Android versions (4.4+) are regularly tested and thus prioritized over older versions when issues occur.
You need a ROM that supports signature faking. Some custom ROMs are patched to support signature faking out of the box, including all OmniROM-based ones. Stock CyanogenMod denied the inclusion, as the possibility of third-party play services implementations is considered a security issue (read here about why it's not). Please ask your ROM developer if unsure. The latest version of signature spoofing for Android < 6.0 has to be enabled at the bottom of the developer settings first. If your ROM does not support signature faking, but you use Xposed, you can grab a Xposed module here.
If you are a ROM developer or just do custom builds for whatever reason, you can download and include the patch from here and here for Android 5.1 or here for Android 6.0.
Remove UnifiedNlp. In case you installed it before. You can keep your backend modules installed, microG Services will be able to use them later and provide the same feature set (to be precise, microG Services includes UnifiedNlp).
Installation:
The installation does not require any modification of the /system partition. All installations should be done using the default app installer included with Android or using `adb install`. This means you need to enable third-party sources or developer mode first.
Install GmsCore.apk as provided in the download section below.
If you want to use Google Cloud Messaging ("Push-Notifications"), Install GsfProxy.apk as provided in the download section below. The GsfProxy version does not need to match the GmsCore.apk version.
If you have BlankStore installed, continue with the next step.
If you want to be able to access the Play Store, install BlankStore from its thread. It is not a requirement that you set it up correctly and this is not covered by this instructions. If you need help ask in the original thread.
If you don't care about Play Store access, Install FakeStore.apk as provided in the download section below.
Open the microG Settings, which are available in the launcher now. If you want to use any Google services (Log-In, Cloud Messaging), tick both checkboxes for background services. This is the only supported setup, but you are free to disable them if you like playing with fire. You can also open the UnifiedNlp settings to enable the location backends of your choice. If you don't have any yet, check out F-Droid. For further questions and concerns regarding UnifiedNlp, use its corresponding thread.
Reboot your device. If you skip this step, everything unwanted is possible.
Using it:
You can test Google Cloud Messaging using this test application. Push notifications do not require account registration.
You can add an account through the system settings. Some applications might ask you to do so, if you don't.
Use your applications as you like. But note that apps that use Cloud Messaging must be installed after GmsCore, else they will not work. Some hint of applications that can run due to microG GmsCore: TextSecure/Signal, Play Music, YouTube
When using AdAway make sure to put mtalk.google.com on your whitelist, else problems are likely to occur when using Google Cloud Messaging. Thanks @benstyle1 for the hint.
Downloads
See this wiki page for Downloads. You can find details on the F-Droid repository on https://microg.org/fdroid/.
Signing key
The NOGAPPS and microG Project use a shared signing key. Apps and the F-Droid repository are signed using this key. You can verify app signatures using the Checkey app (not when signature spoofing is enabled) and the F-Droid key in F-Droid repository details.
The SHA-256 hash of the key is:
9B D0 67 27 E6 27 96 C0 13 0E B6 DA B3 9B 73 15 74 51 58 2C BD 13 8E 86 C4 68 AC C3 95 D1 41 65
Current implementation progress
Please check this wiki page for up to date implementation progress.
Please report bugs
This project is still rather unstable. Please report bugs as they occur. Whenever you report a bug, please tell us what application caused the bug, including its exact version. If you're the developer, name the play services library you are using. Please do not bother the original app author when it might be related to microG services. If the problem is related to geolocation with UnifiedNlp, report it in the UnifiedNlp thread, even if you're using it through GmsCore.
Thanks
Big thanks to everyone who continuously supported me doing this, by donating, pull-requests or just feedback.

Nice! Even original Play Store started to work with this! Not fully, but now you can login, search for apps and see already installed ones. Just download doesn't work yet. Keep up good work! Original GMSCore is android cancer.
Thanks for the new thread on this!
I am wondering why the code for GsfProxy, which looks rather simple, is not included as part of GmsCore. . .
Also, there are some older apps that I have that use Maps API v1, so I have installed it from the link at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1715375 I assume some rework would be needed to fold that into GmsCore but that would be another nice feature. The convenient thing about gapps is that it comes as a single package, having to install multiple items from the microG project makes things a little else friendly.
FWIW, I've been using the downloads from http://files.brnmod.rocks/apps/GmsCore/Latest/ and have been very pleased with GmsCore (and UnifiedNlp before it). Now that there is an official version tag, I wonder if F-Droid will pick this up. That would make it easy to keep it relatively current.

The whole purpose of GsfProxy is to not be included in GmsCore: For GCM to work properly you need three packages installed: "com.google.android.gms" (GmsCore), "com.android.vending" (FakeStore/BlankStore) and "com.google.android.gsf" (GsfProxy). This is how Google build it up, don't ask me why.
A good store app requires working play services first. So one step at a time

I'm not saying let's rush and have both but I just thought from what I read that blank store will be depreciated in favor of something better but having play services replacement is great.

I believe you are correct, Blankstore will be replaced by something in a while and it is only being maintained if/when a Google change requires it.

Exactly! Once Play Services are working well and there is someone to work on it, a successor to Blankstore should appear.
I'd like to help but even though I can get a number of things to compile through either the old Android CLI development system or Android Studio I haven't figured out how to get most of the components in the microG project to compile on my computer. Seems like I've bolloxed something needed to make gradle, etc., to work properly. If/when I get time I guess I should wipe the whole machine and start over on setting up a development environment.
In the meantime, I am amazed by the work @MaR-V-iN had done with the microG project. I don't miss having GAPPs on my phone at all.
Thanks for sharing

I tried this out yesterday after you posted it to verify your findings. I received some random play store error code.
When I wanted to do this again today, instead of the error message, a dialog popped up asking me to "renew" my account. I continued and skipped the payment details. After that I was able to download and install applications. Can you try this out on your device as well. If it does not work automatically, this might also be related to a second checkin. In this case, can you try dialing *#*#CHECKIN#*#* or on a tablet open a root shell and invoke `am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://2432546`. If this changes anything for you, please report back what you did.
Hi,
Unfortunately, I couldn't get push messaging to work properly; after installing as described I was able to sign in to textsecure, but I only get new messages when the app is opened and in foreground. Further, in push notification tester I only get the first 3 checks. Another problem is a huge battery drain since I installed it, as you can see in the picture. If I can provide more info, specific logs, I'd love to do so. Great project, thanks for your efforts.
ROM: omnirom 5.1
Device: Samsung GT-I8190
Never installed original gapps on this setup, using blankstore, which works without problems
Sent from my GT-I8190 using XDA Free mobile app
I just tried reinstalling Play Store after having your gmscore for a while on my device and Google Play is fully working now
I guess it's running second check in later on and that makes play store work. Anyway, awesome job, not falling back to blankstore at this point. Amazing work! Thanks!
microG Services Core keeps crashing when trying to sign into my Google Account.

These problems are likely caused by a bug in the gcm background service. Can you please grab logcat for output containing Gcm (from a unix shell `adb logcat | grep Gcm > gcm.log`) and send this to me (PM, it might contain sensitive data). Rebooting afterwards might fix the issue. Normally `mcs` shows up in BetterBatteryStats with about 1% max, the other wakelock never appeared in BetterBatteryStats on my test device.

This happens when no checkin happened before. make sure you have automatic checkin enabled in settings, rebooted and then got a network connection. You can also force checkin manally by dialing *#*#CHECKIN#*#* or on a tablet open a root shell and invoke `am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://2432546`. The problem is known and will be fixed in the next alpha.

Dialing *#*#CHECKIN#*#* got rid of that random error code but now the play store FCs after accepting permissions.
Nice work but I don't that be Google will be happy to know the existence of this Suite of Apps.
Second: I think these new services/apps are using direct HTTP(S) calls to Google's WebServices ...so what will happen if G frequently change/add some code/parameter and/or add a crypted token to the communication? It will be not easy to follow all G updates in the next years.
Third: using an alternative GoogleServices leaves the credentials/data and all user informations in an unknown/untrusted group of people's hands. G could not be the most transparent "group of people" (about privacy and data retention), but......
I think G will force you to stop this project or (it's the most simple way) G will add special crypted tokens (not only the OAuth one) to all its WebService calls...or other things to prevent your framework to work.
I respect all projects but IMHO touching user's credentials, personal informations, payments and other critical things it's not a good thing that an user should trust on if not managed by someone trusted (I repeat: G could not be the most trusted "person" but at least it follows laws and be punished by them if G do illegal things with data/credential/payment....and I don't think it will be the same for the authors of this project).
I think this could be a big and great project but just for educational purpose to write "wrappers" around WebServices...but not a thing to be used in a real-life environment where real credential and payment data are sent, used and watched by these new Services...
Well that's why it's open source - you can inspect the source code to ensure the alternative services aren't doing anything shady with your details.
And if you don't trust the precompiled APKs, you have the option of compiling the source code.

[GUIDE] VIVO NEX S/A Apps Safe To Uninstall/Disable Without Root

The subject of app/bloatware removal/disabling has been mentioned in a few threads throughout the NEX forum,but,not much to mention as far as advancing the discussion,so,I thought I'd start a thread to centralize the topic.
As w/any mods go,this is one that's fairly harmless,worse case scenario,a factory reset will get you back on track,but,ultimately everyone is responsible for their own phone & what happens to it.
With that out of the way..............
1) Any app that can be easily uninstalled by the "uninstall" button is 100% safe,no harm whatsoever. If you want,d/l an apk extractor tool app to make a copy & store wherever,should you change your mind.
2) Now,most are interested in getting rid of as many of the VIVO system apps as possible w/o crippling wanted functionality. This will be an evolving list,& gradually adding to it,with input from anyone interested,I'll update the list right here.
3) OK,the How-To is right here: https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
4) Now here's what I have so far (see below,I'll edit/add as needed)
Any input regarding adding to the list is encouraged,please only suggest bloatware that you have actually uninstalled yourself & please include any effects on functionality that may have resulted,especially if it affected other apps & their functionality. (question marks below [??/etc...] are in place of Chinese letters/characters)
5) Once again,tried & tested input is highly encouraged & welcome. The list will grow & evolve/be edited on a continuous basis until we all get it figured out. :good:
******** A factory reset will restore all uninstalled apps
******** OTA's shouldn't be affected or affect the status of apps,whether they're installed or uninstalled (unless,of course,you've deleted something pertaining to updates,which won't be listed below)
******** The dates reflect the time of posting/removal,for ease of troubleshooting,in the event something noteworthy gets broken,it gives a good reference where to begin looking for the problem/solution.
*****************************************************************************************************************
I no longer have this phone,soooooo......
I'm looking for someone to take over the thread as the OP,to manage/edit the OP/List as they see fit.
I've already received pre-approval from the Admin/Moderator staff to make this happen,if anyone is interested,P.M. me.............................

VIVO Service (com.vivo.daemonService) Breaks option of "screen always on".
Per request,I've added the following post regarding MMS:
[GUIDE] VIVO NEX S/A Apps Safe To Uninstall/Disable Without Root
The subject of app/bloatware removal/disabling has been mentioned in a few threads throughout the NEX forum,but,not much to mention as far as advancing the discussion,so,I thought I'd start a thread to centralize the topic. As w/any mods go,this...
forum.xda-developers.com
Really great job and nice effort that all of Vivo Nex user should participate and share the knowledge and experience of uninstalling Chinese bloatware and optimize and maximize total experience when using their smartphone.
One thing is sure will never get bored as Funtouch OS has unlimited potential of uninstalling bloatware all over the UI

Thank you for this list. All removed (except for the '?????????' and nex running fine. Please is it possible to mention which apps are added every time the list gets updated? That way we don't have to check which apps we already removed. Thanks!

Yes, absolutely..... I'll post every time a new app is either added or put back. I'll also add notes per each app if needed,especially for the ones that are system apps & not in the app drawer.

Updated OP with Dates of Removal, to facilitate troubleshooting in the event something of consequence gets broken.
I'm using the latest Windows 10 build where command prompt is replaced with Powershell. Have tried various options on the internet to revert back to command prompt (including going to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar and disable the option to use Powershell), but still stuck with Powershell. Any other workarounds ?

I'm also on WIN10 & using Powershell, seems to be working here, been using it on various phones for ADB & Fastboot commands since day one.
Did you get the initial permission request pop-up on your phone?

Great post - many thanks. I must have uninstalled something I shouldn't have as the swipe up from the middle to get multitasking no longer works !!
Any ideas ?
I think i will wait to see if we can get and install the global rom before trying to uninstall some chinese app.

Nothing really jumps out from the list in the OP.
1) Are you able to use the nav buttons & get to recents/multi-tasking?
2) Did you uninstall anything that's not on the current list in the OP?
Many thanks for this great thread!
I have received my NEX today and right now am uninstalling stuff. If I get any new to be removed safely I will post here!
Best greetings from Austria!

Thanks for the reply. I made sure that I only uninstalled items that were indicated safe in your post and some from the post by WhySoSeriousJoKer. I certainly have not uninstalled 'com.vivo.upslide' which was flagged as disabling navigation gestures.
All the other gestures work fine, it's only the swipe up from the middle to bring up the open apps !

Yeah, I wouldn't have uninstalled that one either.
For troubleshooting purposes, can you try out using the navigation buttons, see if you can access recents/multitasking?
Also, which software version were/are you on when you lost the multitasking function?
It probably doesn't matter, but, any information for troubleshooting purposes is always a good thing...

As w/any mods go,this is one that's fairly harmless,worse case scenario,a factory reset will get you back on track,but,ultimately everyone is responsible for their own phone & what happens to it.
With that out of the way..............
1) Any app that can be easily uninstalled by the "uninstall" button is 100% safe,no harm whatsoever. If you want,d/l an apk extractor tool app to make a copy & store wherever,should you change your mind.
2) Now,most are interested in getting rid of as many of the VIVO system apps as possible w/o crippling wanted functionality. This will be an evolving list,& gradually adding to it,with input from anyone interested,I'll update the list right here.
3) OK,the How-To is right here: https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
4) Now here's what I have so far (see below,I'll edit/add as needed)
Any input regarding adding to the list is encouraged,please only suggest bloatware that you have actually uninstalled yourself & please include any effects on functionality that may have resulted,especially if it affected other apps & their functionality. (question marks below [??/etc...] are in place of Chinese letters/characters)
5) Once again,tried & tested input is highly encouraged & welcome. The list will grow & evolve/be edited on a continuous basis until we all get it figured out. :good:
******** A factory reset will restore all uninstalled apps
******** OTA's shouldn't be affected or affect the status of apps,whether they're installed or uninstalled (unless,of course,you've deleted something pertaining to updates,which won't be listed below)
******** The dates reflect the time of posting/removal,for ease of troubleshooting,in the event something noteworthy gets broken,it gives a good reference where to begin looking for the problem/solution.

You show com.vivo.browser as one of the apps that can be removed. When I send Location Sharing from Google Maps to a contact via messenger, the link opens up using the vivo Browser app. Can this be defaulted to another app before that browser is removed?

Here's the choices of sharing that pop-up,with the apps removed (on 7/7/18) :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I tap "Select People",my Google contacts appear & I get a link to direct share & it selects my default texting app (Textra,FWIW).
EDIT: @Saloei
As for if the default can be selected before the VIVO Browser is removed,I don't know,TBH,this is the 1st time I've ever used Location Sharing,LOL.
Can you send yourself a Location Sharing link selecting MESSENGER and then add your phone number as the receiver to see if it'll work with no VIVO BROWSER app installed?

If you're speaking about Facebook Messenger, I don't use Facebook, but I was able to share the link with Textra, my default messaging app. I shared it to myself on the same phone, using both SIM Cards & using the same SIM Card as sender & receiver.
Also sent my location to another phone I have via Textra with no problem whatsoever.
Perhaps someone here who has already deleted the VIVO Browser & uses Facebook can verify it'll work.
My guess is that it will, but, I can understand if you're hesitant, most don't want to have to start over via factory reset if, in the unlikelyhood, it doesn't work.....
