Worked fine on my Vzw Galaxy S6 which of course has no root
Looks like it's just disabling versus removing so it's still taking up space. Unless I'm reading how it works wrong?

I think you are correct but it still is better than nothing until we hopefully get root one day.
You disable in application manager under settings.

Not all apps though, I removed stupid my verizon that kept bugging me every time i dialed 611, i disabled about 100 bloatware crap thats not disable able in stock setting so your incorrect.
i will make a safe list later, getting about an extra 1 - 2 hours battery life.

It let's you disable apps that you can't through the application manager, so yes it's very useful. And that's not even considering the benefits of having a UI tool with backup/restore app list and batch operations.

Yep, worked for me. Nice to at least clean some things up a bit, plus it is much faster then tapping through everything to disable the ones that can be, by hand.

yep. the program uses pm hide or block (block not supported on s6) instead of pm disable which requires root to apply to system apps.

Is it possible to get some of these back like email and exchange? Because I want to disable a lot, but keep some.

Thanks

That's up to you. It presents all the apk packages to you and you choose what to hide. If you want it back, you can easily umhide it

I had the issue that it didn't see my S6 when my screen was locked, once I unlocked it (fingerprint) it mounted in Windows and the tool found it.

Thanks for this, will give it a shot!
Thanks for sharing this!
I finally got a chance to try this but I just saw it needs root. That kinda ruins it for us verizon users since we cant get root. If I could root I'd just use titanium backup to freeze them or remove them though this is a nice way to do a bunch all at once.
Check out the latest version of whatsapp..with a new UI. The same is not yet available on play store but can be downloaded from whatsapp site. Check out the sceenshots.

too late to notice ?
this look has been out since like 2 weeks, tad too late to upgrade ? Anyhow they nailed the material redesign of whatsapp.

They got rid of the live weather option for the lock screen with this update. Does anyone know of a replacement app that is similar? I'm not rooted and not planning on rooting either, I want my Samsung Pay.
Ahh man that sucks
Have you tried any launchers?

Tried some in the past, but they seemed to slow the phone down. The more i look though, that seems to be the only real alternative. So disappointing.
Any chance we could grab the app from 5.1.1 and install it to get it back?

Is there any way of changing the fonts without rooting?
no
Was able to change fonts without rooting on my S9 Plus. I wish OnePlus would implement this feature as well.

Yeah the same with my note 9, somebody one XDA made an app from the play store with 000s of fonts that was great
Here a nice article with a couple ideas
Maybe a launcher change?

Samsung will -eventually- fix it.
I don't upgrade if my OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission.
Little to gain, lots to loose. My current load on this N10+ will be 2 yo in June... it's runs great.
