Hello so im just making this post to inform some people who are scared to disable certain things that a lot more can be done with the disable feature then just alleviated bloatware.
So far I've disabled sense launcher and I'm currently only using launcher pro. I've also disabled everything with the word twitter in it lol.
One of my pet peeves is redundent data so I was able to disable htc sense's facebook and just download the facebook app which kicks its asssss anyway.
I've disabled the lock screen however it did not actually disable the lockscreen, no idea what that lockscreen.apk is doing but i still have it disabled.
Here is a list of my disabled packages.

moral of my story, you got a lot of room to play around with. My phone runs incredible fast now and the battery life has increased but I also just bought a 1900mAh battery and popped that in.
Let me know if anyone else can add to this list. I plan on disabling the SMS client and solely using a third party in the very near future. Any words about this? Thanks!
Noob question, how exactly do you disabled that? I see some other post saying they can disable it but never really get into how they go around doing it. I'm also new to android T_T.
I had trouble at first too.
first google this: setting up android SDK for windows
Then since they probably won't tell you this, at the step where they tell you to download google usb drivers, do it anyway (can't hurt) but immediately after that- download HTC sync, and install just to get all the drivers you need for your HTC phone onto windows. At that point you want to then close HTC sync from your running applications to avoid a server out of date error in command prompt (this will get a lot easier to understand once you have the sdk tutorial infront of your face)
Once sdk is all set up and you can access your device (you will try to run adb shell in command promp in windows and you will get a $) You can go to the dev section and look at the fre3vo post.
From here you can drop the fre3vo file into C:/ and the first command in command prompt will be
adb push C:/fre3vo /data/local/tmp
- the C:\fre3vo is where the file is located on your computer and the /data/local/tmp is where your moving it onto the android device.
Next command is
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo - to my understanding this is just changing permissions so you can run the file thru our terminal set up.
Last command just runs the binary and is adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
After that you should be able to run the fre3vo exploit and it will kick you back to your original command promp something like C:\users\your name
Now comes the easy part: at this point type in adb shell and you will get a # sign which means you achieved temp root. The following commands will help and should only be ran after you see the # symbol because these are commands for android on your phone, not the ADB program we used to just place the fre3vo file onto the phone.
pm list packages - this shows all packages installed
pm disable (package name) use the package name from the list above where the brackets are but exclude the brackets
pm enable (package name) will enable the package incase your phone starts to bug
pm list packages -d -this will show you which packages are disabled and yes keep the minus sign infront of the d.
PM me if you have trouble.
alright i'll try to do this right now =) thanks a lot! c how it goes~

Moving to Q&A
if i'm not mistaken, there is no big difference whether it displays bash# or [email protected] as long as you see the hash tag, you are under the super user or root.
The bash prompt probably was not exported so it back to it's default when you open another shell.
The prompt can be changed to whatever you want, using PS1="my_prompt".
You want your prompt to be export PS1="\[email protected]\h:\W\$ ". You can add it to the initial command (add an semicolon as a separator if you have other initial command). Don't forget to left an space to the final of PS1 or your commands will appear concatenated with the prompt.
As conectix said, the only important character is the last one: if it is a sharp the shell is executing as user, and if it is a dollar then you have root privileges.
---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------
Another thing to observe is that in the post you mentioned was said that a shell is open, what fits on what I said above.
Another observation is that sh and bash are different shells. On my Terminal Emulator the default shell is sh. So if I type 'bash' it enters on bash shell and the prompt changes. Once I exit (typing 'exit') of bash it returns to sh with a simple dollar prompt (which is wrong because I'm running as a user).
You can verify your prompt by typing 'echo $PS1'. On mine it just have a dollar with an space.
Oke sure thank you for this, but why can't I use "ui" ?
it will say that the command is not found but in the tutorials and videos on youtube you can see that after they do this they immediately get a red "[email protected]:~#" instead of the "bash-4.1" and after they enter "ui" it works for them. I do exactly the same but get to command not found error.

Probably the command ui isn't in your path. The path is where your shell searches for the binaries to execute.
You need to locate the ui binary (his path) and export a new path:
Code:
export PATH=$PATH:[B]ui-binary-path[/B]
Where ui-binary-path is the path (directory) where the ui binary is located.
PS: You need to reply me so I'll be notified of your response.
This can help you to get solution
Try executing list of following commands:
cd /etc/profile.d/
vi bash_prompt.sh and type: export PS1='[\[email protected]\h \W]$ '
su - root
Hope so the problem is fixed :fingers-crossed:

This has nothing to do with Terminal Emulator, it's working fine ->
adb stands for android debug bridge, it's meant to be a way to do stuff with your android device from your computer over the "bridge" that is USB. It says "waiting for device" because it needs a USB android device to be connected. As far as I know, even with OTG you can't use adb actually on an android device itself with Terminal Emulator. If all you want to do is uninstall an app, you shouldn't need adb anyway.

I tried use adb through cmd in windows but its waiting too (adb through cmd is working only in recovery)
So how can i uninstall system app?
Screenshot is in attachments, i can disable it, but i need to uninstall it, because here is thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355660&page=1662

Unfortunately, this isn't working for me - still no play store, but there's an entry for com.android.vending in Manage Apps with a grey icon (generic app icon with a little SD card in the bottom right corner) and a size of 0.00b. Anyone know what I missed?

Try run the following in Terminal Emulator:
Code:
pm uninstall com.android.vending
* You must find out the vending apk and delete it first (If the apk exists and is a system app).

As mentioned by @HTCDreamOn, adb is for you to run commands from Windows and since you are working with Terminal Emulator you do not need to deal with adb related command.
Also mentioned earlier that you MUST manually delete the apk first before you can uninstall the app if it is a system app.
To do that first find out where the vending apk located. assumed that you have busybox/grep installed, run the following in Terminal Emulator:
pm list packages -f | grep vending
You should get something like this:
package:/system/app/vending.apk=com.android.vending
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* Actual filename & path may vary depending on device
Now that you know where the apk is, eg: /system, mount the /system rw and delete the vending.apk manually.
Then you can proceed to uninstall using the following command:
pm uninstall com.android.vending
Success :laugh:
Thx!
I dont want to make new thread so my another question is why i cant go to ini.d folder when its exists?
Look at my screenshot
//EDIT: SOLVED
Hi there, my partner disabled an important system app on her rooted HTC M9. It's got a Viper ROM installed (one of the 4.0 series).
She "froze" the application (in this case the launcher) and now the phone wont boot. According to all the Howtos I can find on line I need to (in recovery mode) simply use PM to reenable the application and bobs my mothers brother. However when I boot into recovery (TWRP 2.8.7.1) and run some ADB commands from my laptop I get the following:
Leaflatform-tools kai$ ./adb shell pm
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE DEPENDENCIES: cannot locate symbol "__htclog_init_mask" referenced by "libbinder.so"...
Leaflatform-tools kai$
All I'm doing is booting into recovery mode and mounting /system (commands don't work at all unless I do that)
After a bit of mucking around I found that if I ran a shell and changed dir to the /system/lib64 dir the library error would go away but the PM command now simply "Aborts" for no reason I can see.
Leaflatform-tools kai$ ./adb shell
~ # cd /system/lib64
/system/lib64 # pm list
Aborted
/system/lib64 #
has anyone seen this before or have any idea how I can work around this? I need to basically re-enable her Launcher app. The command I need to run is .
/system/lib64 # pm enable com.teslacoilsw.launcher
Aborted
/system/lib64 #
But as you can see, no joy.
Any suggestions? I'd really rather not reload a ROM to the phone losing all her data.
Regards, Kai
Hi !
Have you tried this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17123590&postcount=2
Cheers !
I turned off Auto download on WiFi, but I'm not confident it will stop update to Oreo.
Anyone know if/what I need to do to prevent the update?
I found in Developer Options an auto system update option that I turned off but it still updated. Dammit!
No help from anyone here either. Maybe it can't be prevented.
I have deactivated network access for the app „System Update“ and deactivated the search for updates from within the update app.
Seems to work.
I'll keep that in mind if it happens again.
Update on turning off updates in Developer options: I have since found this to be what happens after turning off auto update in dev options:
It downloads the update
It puts a notice up that it has upgraded and I need to boot (that was when I posted about it still updating)
But turns out it does not actually perform the update.
It is a bit annoying. I get that notice and it remains in the notifications, even though I have gone in and turned off that notification. As long as it doesn't update, I guess I can live with it.
As it's already downloaded, I'd say your options won't help me at this point.
To get rid oft the notification, open Settings » Apps and delete data an cache oft the Systemupdate app. Then continue restricting its network access ( all three options) and notifications. To be sure, disable its ability to change system settings.

I presume I disable network access under networked apps menu. The only access listed there is mobile. I would think it could still get there when hooked to Wi-Fi.
Do not see an app called update for which to disable search. But I have applied all of your other suggestions, and appreciate your help.
without root : adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.hwouc
Done !
I was surprised...just got another prompt to update. Wanted access to photos. I denied and cancelled. I haven't had that particular promo for a while. I bet outs prompting now because I deleted the download. Although I have auto update turned off in developer options.

But I can't get ADB to recognize the phone. I have USB Debugging turned on. I have Hisuite able to see it. But ADB does not see it.
When I search Google for how to do ADB on the Mate 9, I keep getting led to info about installing fastboot. When I go to the Huwaei site to download the fastboot / adb stuff, the site freezes.
Any suggestions?

I don't know what was going on. AFter posting, I was chasing USB drivers. But I was having problems finding them to download too. I tried it again though, and it is now working. Not sure what was going on.

Make sure to have ADB USB debugging enabled in Development menu. PC must be granted for debugging (from the phone side).
Ofc, drivers, etc must be installed to the PC - Minimal ADB and Fastboot package (search on XDA) will do
Problem is, I have already run the delete cmd from earlier in the thread (a reply to my original post here.) Now I need to reinstall. The post I quoted supposedly is how to do that, but I'm getting the errors noted. Going forward I will do it per your suggestion.
Hoping someone can give me correct syntax to revive the update functionality.

There is no ADB delete cmd - could you be precise and quote exactly the command you originally used?
And the ROGHT commands for ADB re-enabling and re-installing are e.g in my previous post, there are no other 'correct syntax' commands (Google search is also your friend)
If your ADB does not recognize
adb shell cmd package install-existing ...
then something is wrong with your ADB installation on PC or settings on the phone.
Follow the first link in my previous answer and set/install ADB exactly as described in the XDA article
Ofc, if you rooted the phone and you really DELETED hwouc, then you can not reinstall by ADB - but then ADB would not complain that it did not recognize the command but would complain that package did not exist
