How to disable the option to install and uninstall on android? - General Questions and Answers

Hi, there is some command by Shell O Power Shell in which I can deny the installation and uninstallation of apps in Android, I explain, that when installing a .apk the system does not allow it (I am a root user) even if the cell phone is it restored factory?

Partial Install

I tried to install kr.touchsoft.samsung.roadSms.apk on my phone(epic 4g) with my terminal emulator using "pm install kr.touchsoft.samsung.roadSms.apk". The install failed half way through and I got a installed killed message.
I am wondering since the installed failed, are there going to be unused files on my system? If so how will I go about cleaning those up?

[Q] Can you remove system apps (AT&T bloatware) without root through ADB

Title is kinda self explanatory, for too long reasons to explain I don't have CWM Recovery so I have ADB and want to remove AT&T bloatware. Can I do this through ADB, without root? (Well I am rooted, but I'm stuck on stock so yeah).

Without root? No.
But you say you are rooted, and if you are, then yes. If you can do "adb root", you can uninstall them.
check this

Market restrictions? What? You mean AT&T really censors what apps I can and cannot see on my Samsung Captivate? Yes they do. But, no problem. Android developer Andrea Baccega has developed an app called “Market Enabler” to remove the censorship by emulating the T-Mobile market on the Samsung Captivate as well as other devices. Instructions below if you’ve already got root access:
1. Download “Market Access” and install the latest version of the APK file on your Captivate.
* Don’t know how to install .apk files? Copy the file to your phone and then install “Apps Installer” or “Astro File Manager” from the market. It’s easy! Just double click the .apk when you find it!
2. Close the Market down fully. If you were running the Market previously, reset the phone so it is not a running task. Or use a task killer and end the Market app.
3. Open up the Market Access application and go to “Backup value” in case you need to get back to the AT&T market
4. Then click “Providers” and find: “T-Mobile [US]“
5. Click and hold that option until it says “Emulate “T-Mobile” SIM?” — click “Yes” there
1. You may have to Allow Market Access in Superuser Permissions
6. Click back to “Settings” click the checkbox next to “Emulate on boot”
7. All done. Now your Market is uncensored.

I know the commands for cd system/app
ls
the the "rm Name.apk"
However, does this require you to be in recovery or have root?
Anybody got anything?
Anybody have an answer for this?
To remove system apps (assuming you are at least partially rooted)
do:
Code:
adb remount
Code:
adb shell
Code:
rm /system/app/bloatware.apk
You may want to do
Code:
ls
to list all of the names of the apps available for uninstall (usually com.android.xxx or something)

That's what I've got. Thanks so much man! But what does remount do? I've usually done
adb shell
cd system/app
ls
rm Bloatware.apk
This is an alternative as it is not removing the AT&T bloatware. You don't need root.
What I do is use Launcher pro as my launcher, then use the "hide apps" in the settings. The programs are still there but you can't see them anymore.
yes there is a way
I'm not sure if it's safe, but download Go Launcher. Then you can uninstall any ago you want, including the camera.

I need help with deleting software

So some apps I was able to disable bit the app manager doesn't give me the option to uninstall them and sometimes they will start running again.
Example AASA servies,All-State file share, ANT +DUT, Bluetooth MIDI Service, I have quite a few.
try uninstaller app, or clean master (there's an option to remove unnecessary app)
cleaner app may help, if not, try Avast cleanup and boost (I'm using Clean master Boost and App lock, it's quite good)
those are system apps, you cant just uninstall them. you need root, then you can. using root spps thst can, or just using a root file explorer, just ling oressing then pressing delete
If you are rooted,don't uninstall any system apps without knowing what r u doing .Because uninstalling some system apps may cause your system unstable.
A difficult but perfect solution! Always works
First root your device(there are multiple tutorials available about how to root your device, it is lengthy but work all the time).
Install android sdk on your pc.
Connect your PC with android phone.
You have to turn on USB debugging mode on your phone(This can be done by going to settings>> About Phone>>Tap Build Number multiple times to see the Developer options>>After opening Developer Options, You can see the USB Debugging).
Launch ADB.exe on your PC(from default SDK position). Mine is installed in E:\android-sdk.
Click the Up+Shift button and right click, it will open the Command menu in the current location.
Type Adb Shell, it will start MS DOS for your device, then type cd system/app (it will open the applications) and then type ls (to see installed apps).
Now use rm appneedtoberemoved.apk to remove the desired app

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.

Huawei Theme Manager

Hello! I was wondering what happens if i uninstall the Theme app (com.huawei.android.thememanager)
I uninstalled themenager before I read "DO NOT". I tried installing it back with adb but it says "INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE"
Any help would be much appreicated.
I was able to install it back with "adb install -r -d".
How do I push it back as a system app?
