Hello I´m on the latest firmware 45.0.A.7.90
is there a way to delete spotify without unlocking the bootloader ?
I tried many ADB commands but all ending with "Read-Only Error"...
When I´m using the "v1.6_Xperia_X_Debloat_By_Serajr_Combined" my phone restarts but the app is still there.
I want this because I can´t install a little bit different version of spotify
I got always "a package with the same asset folder name already exists"
Can anybody help me
Best wishes.
You need root to fully uninstall apps.
You can only disable/hide without root.

My debloat zip requires unlocked bl. With locked bl and stock fw you can try disabling unwanted packages with this guide.

So I got it. The full truth about the post is that I wanted to delete Spotify because I can't install the Spotify premium mod because the same package name is already installed. After hours with Android studio a found a very very easy way:
Just download the app " app cloner" from playstore and clone the mod apk. The app will change the package automatically and you can easily install the mod

Thanks you a lot, your tips was awesome
I'm interested in this. Would this: https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/ work?
I mean if you disabled it using the above method, could you install another app that uses the same package name in its place?
Thanks for the handy tip of the App Cloner.
If you want to update the Spotify Premium APK package, do you just overwrite it or is there a way to first remove the modded package and than use the app cloner again for the new version?
Thanks in advance!

You should root you device to uninsttal system apps, use xperifix of @sToRm// and you can do it with titanium backup or root uninstaller

Hi, I have the same problem. I don't want to root my xzp but I would like to install the modded apk of spotify.
I tried with adb shell to uninstall spotify package. I did it successfully but I still can't install the modded apk.
Gave a try with app cloner but I did not find the way to clone the apk with the free app... Could someone give me some help on this?
TX in advance
for those people who try to delete the bloatware via root and Titanium backup or etc: Be careful as it could happen that your phone could stuck in a bootloop. Some other folks had this experience (including me) and the workaround that someone found is to use ES File explorer to uninstall the apps.

You said you'd deleted Spotify that was onboard with the phone and you're trying to install another Spotify?
There might well be other files that go with the original onboard Spotify and you need to delete them as well, before you can get your new one to work.
Start with
pm list packages -d
Firstly look for anything Spotify.
Then work your way through the safe to remove list
The only solution for you Is to be used application Deezer
someone can change the package name of spotifymod.apk ? I don't know how do it
Btw, why do they use the commands like "pm uninstall -k --user 0" with the -k key ?
Why keep the "garbage" remaining from the removed package?

And then something long and complicated although the explanation may seem simple.
You have to unlock the bootloader. (if you do not know what it is, look on google)
You must obtain permissions Root (if not even know this always tries)
After installing the play archives Store manager who is able to get into the system folder of your smartphone (with root permission of course)
and so you can start to clean up everything.
NB: if you look carefully you will find here on XDA some guide that will explain what you need to do well. you just try
Thank you
Sorry.. i am just a beginner and trying to learn more.. and likewise i just want to make clear on how to do it.. i guess asking a query is not bad..
At first root your device if already done skip it download titanium backup app from Google play store after installation open it and del. The apps what ever you want .don't remove important system app other wise your system may brick.
For safety you can use clean master app. This app automatically give you details that which app you can remove withot risk and what happened if you remove that app.
you need root access and system app uninstaller if you don't have of them then you can try to disable pre-installed app from setting
i have same problem can't uninstall pre installed apps
The preinstalled YouTube app is a very old version(that cannot be uninstalled) , which I am unable to update from the Play Store. Is there any way I can install the latest version without having to root the phone?

no.
You could try sideloading the apk. Download a youtube apk (better still get a friend to extract one from their device for you, can verify source) then run the file from your phones filemanager. If you havent done something like this before you will be asked to enable app unknkown sources (make SURE the apk is legit and virus free) . From there just follow the prompts. If that fails you will need root.

Already tried that. It says 'The app was not installed' at the end. Apparently I'll have to root it.
Got to apkmirror.com, download latest APK and install it directly to your phone. Also you can sideload using ADB.

Hi guys.
I just got the Nougat update, on Bell Canada. Everything is great except it rolled out a built-in Spotify. This eradicated my existing old-version Spotify app. Worse, I can't remove it, only disable. Old versions won't install over it either.
I don't have root and probably won't for a while.
Any way to remove the offending app? Workaround?
Thanks!

No way, without ROOT.
Try with adb.
With this commads :
adb shell
cd system/app
ls
ls will list all apps in system partrition and delete app you want by typing: rm nameofapp.apk

You have to give root privileges for adb, so no hope..

Nope, it was made and cloned in lucky patcher, the most safest way possible, unless you do the app on your own. Just install it, log in and listen to music, and also you can disable the other app.
The next thing I'm willing to try is to set time of this app to stay at one point, this way, those 7 days of free trial can last for eternity, but don't think I'll make it any time soon.

Hi, thanks for your apk file that actually works on the z5 on nougat by being installed next to the original application that can be disabled. Can you tell us how you created this clone without having a package conflict? I imagine you took the version available on AlphaGamers but how to do after? Thank you in advance !

You can't share patched or cracked Spotify apk. It was forbidden and it is against the XDA rules.

Hello guys, with the cloned version of the app (assuming the one included in nougat is disabled) is the link from soundhound (when you detect a song and have an option to open it in spotify) working properly or instead is taking you to Spotify's website (meaning it's not detecting the cloned version) ?
Just clone your old version Spotify APK with App Cloner then install it. The apk signature of the clone will be changed so you are able to install it

Thanks this worked perfectly. Disabled factory installed spotify and cloned the modded version and installed. Worked great.
I feel like I'm coming too late but here goes:-
Step 1 :
Code:
adb device
Step 2:
Code:
adb shell
Step 3: pm list packages | grep <OEM/Carrier/App Name> command (without quotes) to find package names
e.g
Code:
pm list packages | grep [COLOR="Red"]google[/COLOR]
Step 4: Once you find the desired bloat app to remove type:- pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of package>
e.g
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 [COLOR="Red"]com.quora.android[/COLOR]
If it helped don't forget to smash that like button and subscribe for more vi... Wait, wrong outro!
^i assume you need root access to do that?

The DocumentsUI module controls access to specific files for components that handle document permissions such as attaching a file to an email. This module is updatable, meaning it can receive updates to functionality outside of the normal Android release cycle.

You have to root for this
1. Install any root browser (x-plorer , cx file manager etc.
2. open /system/priv-app/DocumentsUIGoogle
3.copy all apk files to any internel storage folder
4. Install all these apk files at once using any split apk installer ( Recommended -com.smartpack.packagemanager )
download link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartpack.packagemanager
5.Reboot
Note :- if you are unable to find these apk files then use attached files

I'm trying to run vanced YouTube on my pixel 7 Pro. Vanced manager manager still working on my op9pro...but I need to delete all remnants of the stock YouTube app from my device.
I'm unlocked and rooted. Titanium backup shows the error "can't locate APK". I'm trying to do it manually with root explorer. The YouTube and YouTube music APKs are located in /product/app/YouTube. I cannot delete these files and root explorer won't allow me to change the permissions of these folders. I also tried adb but that just hides them, I need to remove any and all files associated with the stock YouTube system app.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm not looking to hide these apps, I'm looking to permanently remove them from the phone.

[SOLVED] Revanced working?
Did anyone try installing revanced manager on the P7P? Get it working? I installed the manager and it doesn't seem to see when I patch the youtube apk. It goes through the process of patching the youtube apk. I installed using non-root methods...
forum.xda-developers.com
@rester555, @EtherealRemnant, and some others got it working well enough....and I don't think they had to go through the trouble of deleting "all remnants" of the stock app. You might be used to a bit of an outdated method or particular to your previous device method because I believe it's been a long time since you had to remove the stock app to get it to work -- at the very least on my Pixel 5 A11 rooted, I used Vanced manager and it would merely overwrite/replace my stock app; I just had to make sure to turn off auto-update as Google would insist on re-installing/updating it back to stock...
In any case, the thread below is where a bunch of them got it to work well enough on the P7P (without the need to remove the stock app, i believe)

Root these days is systemless. The best you can do is disable apps or uninstall them from your user profile with adb.

i know it's old and EOL, but can't Titanium Backup "freeze" system apps? It's been a while (years), so I'm working off of memory and just basing it off of what I kinda remember and can't be too sure...
Open a Command Terminal, grant root access by typing "su"
This command works for me to delete system apps (youtube for example):

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.youtube.music

TiBu still works. I'm using it currently. Does a fine job of disabling or freezing system apps as needed.
