[No root][8th gen] Permanently disabling Amazon apps on Fire HD 8 2018

Using adb shell I was able to uninstall and disable most of the Amazon apps for user 0 which saved me a bunch of storage and ram...
The tablet was performing wonderfully, unfortunately most of the Amazon apps were automatically re enabled and updated... Anyone here knows what system process is responsible for this? Anyone knows how to permanently disable Amazon apps without rooting????

Depends on what you were trying to disable.
None of the apps re-enabled so far by using THIS Tool Box on a HD 8" 2018 model.

I use the tool you mention in the link. Today my daughter brought her tablet because the fire launcher was there. I just reran the remove Amazon and it was gone again. I'm guessing there was an update. I didn't run the disable updates from the tool.
That being said ... For OP. I recommend the same tool as even if they re-enable. Plug in and disable again with the tool. Takes 30 seconds.

Use another commands:
Code:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota
I have disabled all Amazon junks. Look my screenshot below ↓↓

I'm used "adb shell pm disable-user --user 0" command to completely disabled all Amazon junks (i.e. OTA, Amazon Video, Appstore, and etc).

i am using
adb shell pm disable-user com.amazon.kindle.otter.oobe.forced.ota
i am not adding --user 0 and it still work.

Disable Motorola Update Services?

Hey everyone,
I'm rooted, so obviously the OTA security update fails every time for me. Since I did a hard restart on my phone, the update tries to be applied non stop, hogging up CPU usage and slowing the phone down. It says it fails and immediately tries to apply it again, in an endless loop.
I haven't found a way to disable it. Any suggestions? I tried to delete Motorola Update Services through titanium backup but it keeps coming back after a restart.
Any suggestions? I don't really want to go through the hassle of updating for a security patch, re rooting, and setting up my highly customized device again.
Thanks in advance!

Try the following
Enable usb debugging
Connect phone to PC & run the following adb command substituting package name with the package name of the app you want to disable E.g com.xyz.myapp
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 packagename
If you get an error about this app can't be uninstalled try
Code:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 packagename

I just wanted to update anyone in case they are looking at this thread.
The first command to remove it did not work. The second command to disable it DOES work, and survives a reboot. The package name is "com.motorola.ccc.ota"

I have Motorola Update Services frozen via Titanium seems to have killed that update pop up on 4 Motos i have. oh and disable updates in Dev mode too.

Bookmarked for later.

I'm going to bump this thread because the command is not working on Android 10. Any solutions? TB also just crashes for me.
adb simply returns "package non disable" or something along those lines. Meanwhile I keep getting that extremely annoying popup. Honestly, may it's worth switching to lineage. At least there I can be rooted and also get updates.

i second this. the second command works in my experience too.

Just an update for anyone that finds this...
On another forum, I came across this
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.motorola.ccc.ota
It worked for me on a Moto G6

Hi

It doesn't work on my device. Though I have the Moto G Power 2022 (Tonga), running A11 stock WITHOUT su (root); neither the pm uninstall or pm disable commands perform their function. Rather, it tells me the package is "non-disable" and remains installed and unable to disable. It's the motorola ota package I'm trying to freeze so it can stop with the SPAM POPUPS (no shame calling it what it is) with absolutely no option to hide or suppress them altogether. And No, going to Smart Updates and turning it off there or on Developer Options have no bearing. If anything it's become relentlessly frequent, to the point I would refer to it as spamming.
There must be something I'm missing or doing wrong. I've always been able to disable packages this way and never really encountered this problem before. Are there any other pm commands that may do the trick? Could my ADB utilities be outdated and could that be what's causing it to fail. Or have we simply reached a dead-end with software and Android 11 no longer providing a method of removing system packages WITHOUT root or unlocking bootloader.

I still have not found a way to disable this package and the popups are driving me insane!
Is there really no working method for this??

Disable them, don't uninstall them.
As far removing the browser, app market and roaming app I didn't notice any drain.

After I try any method of removing bloatware using adb debug without root on Android 12 and 13, finally I've got method that worked both Android 12 or 13.
if regular adb disable/uninstall commands do not work, then
For Android 13 try
Code:
adb shell service call package 131 s16 com.abc.xyz i32 0 i32 0
for Android 12 try
Code:
adb shell service call package 134 s16 com.abc.xyz i32 0 i32 0

Pre installed app removal?

It appears that some apps that come pre installed on the 8t can be deleted...rather than disabled. For example, Google One.
If I delete them, will they reinstall with a factory reset or were they installed separate from the factory image?
Been several years since I had a new phone and am use to only being able to disable pre installed apps.
Thanks

Well if you root you can debloat it

You can use ABD for delete your apps, follow the guide, you can create a txt file with all your adb commands and copy/past once
the best link for all method/scrits : here
the adb method link directly : here

False... You can easily debloat/delete apps from adb without root, on all smartphone, OnePlus, Sasmsung Redmi/Xiaomi

Best way is obviously to use adb method if you're not willing to root. Enter adb shell
Code:
adb shell
A simple search like this will give all packages with google in it's name. You can replace 'google' with 'oneplus' or 'facebook' etc to find the package names.
Code:
pm list packages | grep 'google'
You can use this to delete the app after finding package name using this.
Code:
pm uninstall --user 0 com.facebook.appmanager
Note that this removes apps only from default user and not from system. They will return if you do a factory reset.

Package Info from the PlayStore is also another good way to see the package names of what is installed to make the apps you want to get rid of easier to remove. Personally, I save a text file of the apps I remove for each device I have to make it easier to remove them if I ever have to factory reset the device or remove them for others.

You can move these files from its directories to a different storage in case you need to restore, then wipe data (not needed to format data/factory reset) then restart your device and see how it goes. I think it would be fine, not essential apps if you don't need them. Browsing with a root explorer and taking a copy (moving them this way) probably you will find more apps to get rid of.

I don't want to restore them as just using it for kid's for you tube and some loaded cartoons etc saved on micro SD card
I just want to remove them via adb but don't know the command when running PowerShell
Looking for these commands

Saving the apps in other place is just in case you have something like an annoying warning message, but this is just for a few minutes to check that all is fine.
To remove apps through ADB you can use this guide https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/ with this process really you are hiding the "head" of the app doing them unreachable (I assume your real interest) for the end user.

Remove -k (this preserve data and cache what you don't need) I guess you are not using the keys <>
Be sure that this is the name of package and run adb shell and then pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.email
or simply pm uninstall com.android.email This will remove the app from any user.
Also you have this GUI tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...mate-app-manager-debloat-tool-tweaks.4147837/
