There is force stop and uninstall. That's it. No disable at all.

For the installed non-system app there are no disable option since generally they can be simply uninstalled (and reinstalled if needed).
maybe u can try and use a debloater app from the play store in ur case

In Android original design, pre-install app you can disable it.
However, there is only uninstall for the app you installed from app store.
You can refer the Nexus serious phone for this case.
If your phone has disable for "all" application, it's modified by your phone manufacturer.

Generally it's also possible to uninstall some non-system app preinstalled by the manufacturer or the network carrier (for. ex. some games or shopping apps).

On my Vibe Z2 Pro I have the option to freeze any app I select as well as I have the option to switch between open and secure profiles, so both run simultaneously as two separate OS's. I was hoping Mate 8 would have both options.

This app Gemini App Manager(com.seasmind.android.gmappmgr) is not longer available in Google play.
Has changed of name? removed by Google or developer?

I am looking where you said and all I see is Force stop, uninstall updates, clear data, and clear cache. Move to phone is also there but grayed out.
Some roms give you the option to remove ANY app.

Uninstall updates first then the disable option becomes available.
if placed in the system uses titanium buckup app (you must have root permissions)

Hi guys,
Is it possible to remove stock apps without root on the HTC One S? Perhaps with any app or something.
Thanks!
It's called the "no possible way".apk

In the past on other devices (MT4G, G2) I've used Titanium Backup to freeze the app. It doesnt remove it per se, but it stops it from running. Sometimes other apps require the presence of the the offending app to just be there. I forget which app broke for me when I ripped out an apk for some game TMO had placed on the ROM.
You could also use another launcher to hide the apps you dont want. If you don't want to root. Out of sight, out of mind mentality.
you cannot remove the apps but with ICS you can stop teh application from launching (which will hide from the app menu)./ Just go to settings, apps, all, and you can choose "Disable".

Nice! that's fine for me
I'm basically purging all the useless applications i'll never use from a fresh install of CyanogenMod 10.1 Jellybean 4.2.2 and I can't find the .apk anywhere in the app folder. Does anyone know what the .apk is called so I can remove this garbage please?
Thanks.

Don't worry about finding the APK. You can unistall it using Titanium Backup or System Tuner or any of 100 similar apps to unistall it. In those options it will appear in the App list as Movie Studio and not whatever goofy name the APK file has.
You can also freeze it in the Manager Apps section of the settings. That won't delete it but will disable it competely.
Cool thanks. So far all i've done is go into Settings -> Launcher -> Drawer -> Hidden Apps and basically ticked that, will that do for the time being? Also, is Titanium Backup free and can I get it of the Marketplace?
Thanks.

No hiding it only removes it from the app drawer. It may still be running in the background.
There is a free version of titanium on the play store...using it you can uninstall or disable any app.
Hope that helps

That is 100% wrong. I just personally confirmed it. Disabling an app in the settings menu formally freezes it and makes it completely unable to run in any capacity until it is unfrozen.
Please don't post something as a fact unless you are certain its a fact. Posting wrong information will confuse new users and others searching for help later.

So am I alright keeping the method I used to hide it? Will that stop it from running in the background etc.? or do I still need Titanium Backup to remove it?
Thanks.
Disabling the app will render the app unusable until you re-enable the app. If you need to use the app sometimes then I would try the app greenify from the play market. Greenify simply hibernates the app.

Hi All,
Most people are looking for apps to kill other apps when they are running - I'm actually looking for the opposite. Phone keeps killing apps to free up some RAM here and there, and some of the apps to not restart themselves. Are there any good apps out there that can be used to monitor specific apps and restart them if they are killed by the system?
Thanks!

Thanks, I'll check it out.
Or Xposed plus the app settings module. You can force apps to stay in memory so they won't be killed.

That's perfect, I already have Xposed and the App Settings module. Thanks a ton! Would this be the "insistent notification" option?
Nope. The resident checkbox is what you want. http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-app-settings-v1-7-1-2013-12-15-t2437377

I'm not sure about Rom Toolbox Lite but the Pro version lets you add apps to the exclude list for task manager so those apps don't get killed.
