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.

Hi RubbaBand great info this will be helpful to me but i cant seem to see the colors regarding apps safe to remove from 5.0.1 I am viewing this on mobile app using s4 i9500 Anyway keep up the good work bro

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.

Let me choose which apps I can run on device

I am looking for possibility to run only:
- phone
- contact list
- chrome
- camera
- music player
on Android device. I want to check app first before I decide to give permission to run it. I want to run Phone app but I want to block SMS app and all other messaging apps.
How can I set it up ?
The purpose is to give the smartfone to the kid but with very limited options, so it's not using messaging and other chat apps , the only way of communication is just phone call but also I want her to have a Web Browser and phone Contact list, Camera and some Music apps so she can use it as a player anytime.
No distracting apps loaded with ads, no texting, no notifications.
Please help with the simplest solution for that.
Thank you

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

How To Guide De-Google Moto G Stylus 5G without rooting.

I was able to De-Google my Moto G Stylus 5G without rooting!!!
It's easier than you think.
Disclaimer: I did keep the Youtube app, but I don't sign in.
This guide is base on setting up a new unlocked phone purchased from Motorola's website.
moto g stylus 5G – 2021 android smartphone | motorola US - Motorola
moto g stylus 5G gives you the ultra-fast speed and built-in stylus you want. With the moto g stylus 5G, you got it.
www.motorola.com
If you have an old phone laying around try to backup any paid app unlockers apks you have. (Some do carry over if you change your e-mail address on their websites ie. Nova launcher 7)
1) I would recommend setting up a private activesync mail account. (doesn't make sense to de-google if you sign into everything with a gmail address). I recommend an IONOS business mail account with your personal domain. BACKUP YOUR CONTACTS/CALENDAR to your ActiveSync account.
2) On first setup. Click no to everything that would require data moving from your phone to the internet, and don't sign into anything. ie cloud services, analytics, play store, even wifi access. We'll get to that later.
3) Once you get through all the setup gobbledee-gook, reboot the phone to let the settings initialize properly.
4) Open up the web browser (using you cellular data), and download APKpure and F-droid.
https://apkpure.com/
F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository
F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.
f-droid.org
Go ahead and allow installing from chrome browser. It's ok, we'll get rid of it soon enough. lol
5) Once apkpure and f-droid are installed, You can now start uninstalling and disabling all the Goolag junk on your phone. Setting/Apps&Notifications click "See All Apps", Go to each Google app click force stop, then uninstall (if uninstall is not an option.. Click Disable App). This includes exchange services. I use Blue Mail for my exchange service where my contacts and calendar reside.

If you have an old phone laying around try to backup any paid app unlockers apks you have. (Some do carry over if you change your e-mail address on their websites ie. Nova launcher 7)
1) I would recommend setting up a private activesync mail account. (doesn't make sense to de-google if you sign into everything with a gmail address). I recommend an IONOS business mail account with your personal domain. BACKUP YOUR CONTACTS/CALENDAR to your ActiveSync account.
2) On first setup. Click no to everything that would require data moving from your phone to the internet, and don't sign into anything. ie cloud services, analytics, play store, even wifi access. We'll get to that later.
3) Once you get through all the setup gobbledee-gook, reboot the phone to let the settings initialize properly.
4) Open up the web browser (using you cellular data), and download APKpure and F-droid.
https://apkpure.com/
F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository
F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.
f-droid.org
Go ahead and allow installing from chrome browser. It's ok, we'll get rid of it soon enough. lol
5) Once apkpure and f-droid are installed, You can now start uninstalling and disabling all the Goolag junk on your phone. Setting/Apps&Notifications click "See All Apps", Go to each Google app click force stop, then uninstall (if uninstall is not an option.. Click Disable App). This includes exchange services.

Waze is owned by Google, and still uses the Google maps API. I recommend MAPS.ME for de-googled GPS.

I tried this and was not successful. I get constant messaging that ---- will not work without Google Play service. Did I miss something?

The next day every thing was working well. ??

Question Change Default Browser on GW4 and Edit Special Permissions

I Sideloaded Google Go (Searchlite) and Chrome Galaxy Watch 4. on Google Go, when it asked me which app I want to use to open a link, I chose Google Go at the time. However, Google Go is good for Searching but not browsing web pages since the search bar takes up half the screen.. is there any way to assign a new default browser for managing links on Galaxy Watch 4?
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Google Go but that didn't work. I know the device has special permissions and defaults that are not accessible from settings. What happens is that Google Go is opening links within CCT since Chrome is installed on watch. It's much slower and harder to see on Go.
Follow up question: Any way to manage settings on Google Chrome for GW4 externally? Launching settings menu causes app to crash on GW4. Thanks!
Follow Follow Up: Anyway to hide app secondary launcher items from launcher such as Google Clocks Hand washing timer without uninstalling Clock?
