What functions do I lose if I disable Smartcardservice and Smartcardmanager? Thanks for the list !

Newbie goofs erasing app in red: clipboard service out of order!
I did remove clipboard UI & save service, though I strongly need them!
I thought they would restore automatically after reboot.
Is there any way to repair that mistake, I mean something else than to do a system reset?
Resetting the whole phone would be a huge work because I installed, among others, map apps to use my phone as GPS unit for very long hikes.
(An issue occurred when I tried to copy a page of an ebook, which made my phone to freeze and rendered useless clipboard whereafter each time I wanted to copy text. I read this "method" of erasing data somewhere in a forum, and applied it unaware of what I was doing.)
Thanks for your help, Bernard

Factory reset won't help, because you deleted a system apps.
Factory reset will only erase user data.
You have 2 options:
1- Flash a firmware via odin
Flashing a firmware won't erase your phone.
2- Flash and install the missing apps with custom recovery.
I can give you a flashable zip that contains "Clipboard save service" & "ClipboardUI service" to install from a custom recovery, but i don't know if it will work with your installed firmware.

HELP !
What is the Kies Application BnR ? I bumped phones with my friend earlier today, and ever since then I've had that application downloaded on my phone and it won't give me the option to uninstall or disable. Is it some sort of hacking app or what? It says the app gives permission to do basically absolutely anything and everything to my phone..

My biggest concern is KNOX. Are you sure that the Knox services written in black are safe to remove like with Titanium Backup? As KNOX is built into bootloader, i am a bit picky at disabling or removing KNOX components.
Thanks.
S4 i9500.

First, thank you for this list. It's very helpful.
I am turning my old S4 into a dedicated remote control for my Harmony Hub. I do not plan on using the phone service at all. Really all I need is wi-fi, bluetooth, internet access, play store and any basic necessary functions.
With this in mind, would someone mind listing the orange/red apps that would be OK to remove if I'm not worried about losing phone service? I would greatly appreciate it.

[GUIDE] Sideloading Google Apps - 100% WORKING! (ROOT)

I've finally managed to destroy all of the Google glitches on Fire OS after much troubleshooting and many factory resets. This guide will show you how to permanently fix the following issues:
Gmail closing after right after opening
Google Contacts not pulling your contacts
Google Calendar not pulling your calendar
This requires some patience.
Reported Bugs:
Gmail crashes when opening an attachment in an email and some users are speculating it's the Amazon Download Manager causing the crash. I'm looking into it.
Requirements:
Root (This easy guide shows you how to root your 7th generation Fire HD)
Fire OS 5.6.0.0
Fire HD (2017)
ADB (Optional, this 'Lite' package is officially provided by Google)
Basic knowledge of ADB commands
Downloads:
Google Account Manager (You have to download this specific one since it's the last one compatible with Lollipop!)
Google Services Framework (You have to download this specific one since it's the last one compatible with Lollipop!)
Google Play Services (It's okay to download the latest version!)
Google Play Store (It's okay to download the latest version!)
Google Calendar Sync (You have to download this specific one since it's the last one compatible with Lollipop!)
Google Contacts Sync (You have to download this specific one since it's the last one compatible with Lollipop!)
Link2SD
Titanium Backup
Gboard
Step 1: Enable install of "Apps from Unknown Sources":
Go to Settings > Security and enable “Apps from Unknown Sources”. This will allow you to sideload the Google APKs that you'll need in order to install the Google Play store onto your Fire HD.
Step 2: Download and install these APKs in sequence: (I've included their package names below so they are easier to locate in the Fire HD Docs app!)
Google Account Manager - com.google.android.gsf.login
Google Services Framework - com.google.android.gsf
Google Play Services - com.google.android.gms
Google Play Store - com.android.vending
Google Calendar Sync - com.google.android.syncadapters.calendar_5.2.3-99827563-release-2015080710_minAPI15(nodpi)
Google Contacts Sync - com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts_5.1.1-1965118-22_minAPI22(nodpi)_apkmirror.com
Step 3: Setting up Google Play & downloading applications:
Open Google Play Store and login to your Google account
Download all of your Google applications like Gmail, Gboard, Calendar, Contacts, Photos, Rewards, and etc.
Don't setup Gmail just yet
Make Gboard your default keyboard by disabling Fire Standard Keyboard - adb shell pm disable com.amazon.redstone
Download Link2SD
Download Titanium Backup
Step 4: Extra Gmail steps: (This is temporary until the crashing bug has been eliminated)
Open Gmail but don't do anything else yet
Set Fire HD to "Airplane mode" or just disconnect from wireless
Now go to your Gmail Settings
Choose your Gmail account in the next page
Scroll down to Data Usage and uncheck "Download attachments"
Set Days of mail to sync to 10 days
Step 5: Avoid any bootloops by eliminating this potential roadblock with Titanium Backup or ADB:
Code:
adb shell pm disable com.amazon.redstone
Step 6: Now you're going to need to free up some space within the /system partition. Remove these applications via Titanium Backup or ADB:
Kindle Special Offers - adb shell pm uninstall com.amazon.kindle.kso
Kid's Silk Web Browser - adb shell pm uninstall com.amazon.cloud9.kids
Fire Keyboard (Asian) - adb shell pm uninstall jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime.mlaz
Calendar - adb shell pm uninstall com.android.calendar
Contacts - adb shell pm uninstall com.android.contacts
Fire Tutorial - adb shell pm uninstall com.amazon.kcp.tutorial
Fire Keyboard Simplified Chinese Pack - adb shell pm uninstall jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime.languagepack.zhcn_az
Amazon Retail Demo - adb shell pm uninstall com.amazon.kor.demo
Home Screen Tips - adb shell pm uninstall com.android.protips
Music - adb shell pm uninstall com.android.music
My Videos - adb shell pm uninstall com.amazon.kindle.personal_video
Amazon Cloud Photos - adb shell pm uninstall com.amazon.photos
Weather - adb shell pm uninstall com.amazon.weather
Email - adb shell pm uninstall com.android.email
Amazon Cloud Photos Importer - adb shell pm uninstall com.amazon.photos.importer
Kingsoft Office Bull**** - adb shell pm uninstall com.kingsoft.office.amz
Step 7: Open up Link2SD and go to User Applications. Convert the following apps into system apps:
Google
Google Play Store
Google Contacts
Google Contacts Sync
Google Calendar Sync
Step 8: Last step:
Reboot through Link2SD or ADB. All Google apps should function normally afterwards.

Can't download app from AppStore
I Can't download app from AppStore. My kindle show : There are no apps to install, since your administration hastn't made any available to you yet.

Was so excited to see this but after doing this all to a T Gmail still crashes if I open on email with an attachment...

Oh no!
I forgot to mention to disable the automatic download of attachments in Gmail and set the sync interval to 10 days. Make sure Gmail is force closed, data cleared and on airport mode when you do change the your Gmail account settings.
Let me know if that works!

Thanks. But just tried all that and same issue. As soon as I open an email with an attachment, it crashes. Others have looked into this and it has something to do with Gmail not working with Amazon download manager I think.

That's temporary, right? Just when making gmail system app?

Quick question. What's is this "Amazon download manager" thing? Since Gmail is not working with Amazon download manager is there a chance to replace the Amazon download manager?

That's what I'm thinking. It seems this download manager is the root of this mess. I'm going to look into it.

I believe I was one of the first noting this being the issue (but if not, it's not the point...). This was before I looked into how download managers worked and I thought we could just get another download manager from another device and replace it, or tweak some code, and make it work. Unfortunately I realized that download managers are very device specific with multiple dependencies. Getting another one to work will be as hard as coding one from the ground up. I don't think it'll be possible in the near future to go this route and make things work. I'll personally bet on us finding an exploit to unlock bootloader and get custom roms first before we can get another download manager working...

This doesn't work for me:
4. Make Gboard your default keyboard by disabling Fire Standard Keyboard - adb shell pm disable com.amazon.redstone
also it's a little odd that further down the list there's this:
Step 5: Avoid any bootloops by eliminating this potential roadblock with Titanium Backup or ADB:
adb shell pm disable com.amazon.redstone
Why is it in there twice? Why would removing the kindle keyboard prevent bootloops?
When I try it, the display just flashes crazily until I enable it again!

You can just choose Google keyboard to be default in the tablet setting. Works fine for me.

Only made it to step 3. I hit play store and it just crashed to home screen instantly with a white flash. I verified root is working and can see Titanium backup using root in the logs and such. Where'd i mess up, any guesses?

Welp...I've tried everything. Followed instructions to the letter. I open playstore to get into my account and all it does is crash back to the home screen. I'm just on the edge of getting the hammer. 64g 2017 will go cheap if I give up. (likely)
Several factory resets to no avail.
Thanks for any help!

Yep - Google made some changes that require components that are not installed via this 'hack'. Neither Amazon not Google have any motivation to address the issue. Fire tablets are designed to be glorified shopping portals to Amazon's ecosystem, not a generic Android gizmo that can run all things Google. Especially on the older Android core (Lollipop!) which FireOS v5 is based. Great while the party lasted.

I've finally managed to destroy all of the Google glitches on Fire OS after much troubleshooting and many factory resets. This guide will show you how to permanently fix the following issues:
Gmail closing after right after opening
Google Contacts not pulling your contacts
Google Calendar not pulling your calendar
This requires some patience.
Reported Bugs:
Gmail crashes when opening an attachment in an email and some users are speculating it's the Amazon Download Manager causing the crash. I'm looking into it.
Requirements:
Root (This easy guide shows you how to root your 7th generation Fire HD)
Fire OS 5.6.0.0
Fire HD (2017)
ADB (Optional, this 'Lite' package is officially provided by Google)
Basic knowledge of ADB commands
Downloads:
Google Account Manager (You have to download this specific one since it's the last one compatible with Lollipop!)
Google Services Framework (You have to download this specific one since it's the last one compatible with Lollipop!)
Google Play Services (It's okay to download the latest version!)
Google Play Store (It's okay to download the latest version!)
Google Calendar Sync (You have to download this specific one since it's the last one compatible with Lollipop!)
Google Contacts Sync (You have to download this specific one since it's the last one compatible with Lollipop!)
Link2SD
Titanium Backup
Gboard
Step 1: Enable install of "Apps from Unknown Sources":
Go to Settings > Security and enable “Apps from Unknown Sources”. This will allow you to sideload the Google APKs that you'll need in order to install the Google Play store onto your Fire HD.
Step 2: Download and install these APKs in sequence: (I've included their package names below so they are easier to locate in the Fire HD Docs app!)
Google Account Manager - com.google.android.gsf.login
Google Services Framework - com.google.android.gsf
Google Play Services - com.google.android.gms
Google Play Store - com.android.vending
Google Calendar Sync - com.google.android.syncadapters.calendar_5.2.3-99827563-release-2015080710_minAPI15(nodpi)
Google Contacts Sync - com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts_5.1.1-1965118-22_minAPI22(nodpi)_apkmirror.com
Step 3: Setting up Google Play & downloading applications:
Open Google Play Store and login to your Google account
Download all of your Google applications like Gmail, Gboard, Calendar, Contacts, Photos, Rewards, and etc.
Don't setup Gmail just yet
Make Gboard your default keyboard by disabling Fire Standard Keyboard - adb shell pm disable com.amazon.redstone
Download Link2SD
Download Titanium Backup
Step 4: Extra Gmail steps: (This is temporary until the crashing bug has been eliminated)
Open Gmail but don't do anything else yet
Set Fire HD to "Airplane mode" or just disconnect from wireless
Now go to your Gmail Settings
Choose your Gmail account in the next page
Scroll down to Data Usage and uncheck "Download attachments"
Set Days of mail to sync to 10 days
Step 5: Avoid any bootloops by eliminating this potential roadblock with Titanium Backup or ADB:
Code:
adb shell pm disable com.amazon.redstone
Step 6: Now you're going to need to free up some space within the /system partition. Remove these applications via Titanium Backup or ADB:
Kindle Special Offers - adb shell pm uninstall com.amazon.kindle.kso
Kid's Silk Web Browser - adb shell pm uninstall com.amazon.cloud9.kids
Fire Keyboard (Asian) - adb shell pm uninstall jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime.mlaz
Calendar - adb shell pm uninstall com.android.calendar
Contacts - adb shell pm uninstall com.android.contacts
Fire Tutorial - adb shell pm uninstall com.amazon.kcp.tutorial
Fire Keyboard Simplified Chinese Pack - adb shell pm uninstall jp.co.omronsoft.iwnnime.languagepack.zhcn_az
Amazon Retail Demo - adb shell pm uninstall com.amazon.kor.demo
Home Screen Tips - adb shell pm uninstall com.android.protips
Music - adb shell pm uninstall com.android.music
My Videos - adb shell pm uninstall com.amazon.kindle.personal_video
Amazon Cloud Photos - adb shell pm uninstall com.amazon.photos
Weather - adb shell pm uninstall com.amazon.weather
Email - adb shell pm uninstall com.android.email
Amazon Cloud Photos Importer - adb shell pm uninstall com.amazon.photos.importer
Kingsoft Office Bull**** - adb shell pm uninstall com.kingsoft.office.amz
Step 7: Open up Link2SD and go to User Applications. Convert the following apps into system apps:
Google
Google Play Store
Google Contacts
Google Contacts Sync
Google Calendar Sync
Step 8: Last step:
Reboot through Link2SD or ADB. All Google apps should function normally afterwards.

Thanks for step 6, is there any more Amazon apps to safely uninstall?

Safe to Freeze List

This is probably old school as I haven't seen a lot of "safe to freeze" lists out there recently so I figure I would build my own. I made a list and I will update it as I probe deeper and deeper into what these actually do. Feel free to highlight me if you know or have a link to what some of these apps do, I will then update the list.
As of right now, here is a full list for what I have on the G7, nothing is frozen yet. Please be careful, if you freeze something and cant boot or you get nonstop forcequits, its not my fault =):
Blue: I have frozen and dont see any issues
Red: Dont freeze
Bold: Currently Looking into
Normal: Haven't looked into yet

Sharing location on Google maps

I just wondered if it's possible to share location from Google maps and used it on another application like WhatsApp
And another question...is time line working on Google maps? Because for me it's not
Thanks

Google Services Framework is active = location in Google Maps works fine.
now disable Google Services Framework and use the location in other apps.
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.gsf
adb shell am force-stop com.google.android.gsf
enable Google Services Framework again if you need to update apps from Playstore or location no longer works, than disable again.
adb shell pm enable com.google.android.gsf

Thank you for replying
But is there any video to learn how to do these steps

my video, but german language: https://youtu.be/bGFc7_5WgnE
you can enable subtitles with translation from youtube.

The video caption only in German language

needed files are in video description.
enable developer settings and usb debugging, than connect you phone with our pc.

Question regarding bloatware apps

Do we have a really reliable list of bloatware apps, i.e. one in which only apps appear that do not have an unpleasant impact on functionality or cause possible malfunctions? Had tested the one from the forum, but had side effects....

Maybe we could start by saying which ones gave you those side effects... if everyone who debloats chimes in, that list will be up in no time.
For the time being, what we have to work with are these threads:
[GUIDE] Debloat Poco X3 NFC safe app list [MIUI Global12.0.8 Stable]
As a thank you to everyone who kept posting articles about debloating MIUI, I want to share a list of safe to remove apps for Poco X3 NFC [MIUI Global 12.0.8 Stable]. Note that I use Mi Home and Aqara apps, so I had to keep some of the Xiaomi...

Yes I know these threads, I'm just pretty unsure which deletions have side effects because they aren't showing up directly.

Okay. With disabled com.xiaomi.misettings you cannot change the refresh rate anymore. I turned it on again.

You need to review each apk you are going to disable as some are useful and some have dependencies that you will learn of latter
Each user and device have different needs; one size doesn't fit all!
You should take the time to develop your own app management strategy like the creators of these lists have.
Using a package disabler works a lot better because some you want to be able to easily toggle on/off.
It's also useful for troubleshooting... including the issues you create by inadvertently blocking an apk you need
