Disable bloat software - Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion

Since there is no way to root our device yet, there is no way to remove stuff you don't want to from the system itself. Or, not by removing the folder/apk itself. But there is a way to deactivate the application so it wont "exist" in the system. This can even be done with apps that you normally can't deactivate in applications menu. You will need adb shell to do this (I use Linux, but the procedure is about the same in Windows).
First, activate Developer menu. You do this in Settings > System > About Phone and push Version 5 times. Now you get the menu Developer options (or whatever it's named in your language). Activate developer options, and them USB Debugging. Connect your cable to your computer and open the terminal and run adb shell. You will get something like this;
Code:
zynex~*sudo adb shell
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
H8324:/ $
If you get error: insufficient permissions for device, try adb kill-server and try connect again. You will need to find the application name you want to disable, fx com.touchtype.swiftkey. I use FX Explorer, but there's a bunch of other apps that will do this. Then you use this command to disable it;
Code:
pm uninstall --user 0 <APP NAME>
The app will be removed from the system directly, if it don't, reboot. The files itself won't be removed from your system, but will be app will be unavailable. If you want to reactivate the app again, you will have to access and run the apk file (inside system/app or system/priv-app) thru fx. FX Explorer or similar program.
NOTE: If you disable com.google.android.syndadaptors.contacts, Sony Contacts apps crash (not sure why).
Happy hacking

[APP]MTK ADB, Use ADB directly on your device

MTK ADB gets you a privileged shell at the push of a button, allowing you to run commands directly on your MediaTek device. Some might wonder if rooting hasn't already solved this. Firstly, root access is persisted by modifying system files. When the real binary gets substituted by that of the root app's, if the device is rebooted, the init daemon running as root runs the binary giving the app root. What's wrong with this? If you have “purist” tendencies, you probably would want your phone as stock as possible, or at least with your permission. Sadly, not only binaries are dumped. Extra temp files, logs and helper binaries too, that manually removing them is like dancing on floor of pins and a prick means a brick. Not only that, consider yourself blocked from updates. If you're unfortunate enough, an update could result in bricking your phone as the files supposed to be present had been changed. This is more common than you think. MTK ADB makes no changes to your files whatsoever. Also, there's the matter of security/privacy. Root apps tend to always do something in the background. Either sneaking in a new app, or phoning home with your private data, or both. MTK ADB doesn't steal your data. The Internet permission is for Telnet, etc. On some devices, MTK ADB can get root access (depending on manufacturer) while all devices can get shell access. You just have to check which yours belongs.
IMPORTANT
•Refresh before (and after) clicking Start to check ADB status.
•Supports all ADB functionality. Just run "adb <command>" eg "adb pull" (without quotes).
•The minimalist terminal is for those who haven't any. Feel free to use your regular terminal (I use Terminal IDE) and keyboard (Hacker's Keyboard is really good). Just run "adb shell" on it.
•You can connect to your device using another phone, PC, or anything with a terminal and in the same network by running "adb connect IP_address".
•If you get a " device offline" error, disable and enable USB debugging. Next time connect to the network before running the app.

Are you familiar with an APK that utilizes mtk_bypass to directly flash firmware to device.
I'm looking for an APK that basically does what sp flash tool does because I don't have a computer.

Choose which apps to sync or not with the wearable?

Hi guys!
Do you know if its there a way to choose which apps to sync or not with the wearable?
I have many apps that I don't want to have also on the watch, and save memory on it.
I think at the moment it isn't possible, but here are many people with knowledge about it, I'm sure
Thanks
Hello,
Here what i found, it seems to be the only way to go right now :
Setup:
You will need to need to enable Debugging over Bluetooth. Follow the steps in the first two sections, "Setup Devices for Debugging", and "Set Up a Debugging Session". You can ignore the 3rd section. (This is assuming you have adb set up on your computer. If not, ask, and I can help with this.)
NOTE: If you are asked to accept the connection on your watch (RSA fingerprint), just hit accept/yes.
Now, you should be connected. To be sure, open a command prompt (within your adb folder) and type "adb devices", and you should see two devices, i.e. phone and watch.
Within this command prompt, you will have to type adb commands (note that every command has to start with "-s localhost:4444", because you're connected from computer -> phone -> watch).
To get a list of apps installed on your Moto 360, type:
adb -s localhost:4444 shell pm list packages
You will now see the list of package names for all of the installed apps e.g. "com.paypal.android.p2pmobile" for PayPal.
To uninstall an app, type:
adb -s localhost:4444 uninstall [-k] <insert package name here>
OR adb -s localhost:4444 uninstall <insert package name here>
The "[-k]" means "keep data and cache directories", should you want to save them. But, this is optional (personally, I used the latter).
Wait until the command prompt finishes with "Success", and you're done!

[GUIDE]List all installed apps that don't allow adb backup

Some apps can't be backed up using adb backup. It is mainly because on its AndroidManifest.xml the flag android:allowBackup is either not set or set to "false". This tutorial will get you a list of apps that are currently installed on your device but will not be backed up, either using the official adb backup, LG Backup, Sony Backup and Restore, etc. (because they all use adb backup internally). So you can be cautious on advance and you are aware that the backup methods used officially have its flaws.
1) REQUIREMENTS
I will make the list of apps using a computer, so you need several things set up on the computer and the android phone.
1.1) SMARTPHONE REQUIREMENTS
-> USB Debugging enabled: How to enable USB Debugging on Android [Youtube]
1.2) COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS
-> aapt.exe and adb.exe installed. I recommend to install the Android Studio Bundle. The binaries will be installed in a path similar to this:
Code:
C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\build-tools\24.0.3\aapt.exe
Code:
C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe
-> Add the paths of aapt.exe and adb.exe to your current PATH in Windows: How to Edit Your System PATH for Easy Command Line Access in Windows
-> Cygwin is mandatory to run bash commands on Windows. The x86 version is recommended because it has more commands than the 64bit version. This is where you will actually type the commands.
-> adb drivers for your smartphone. Windows 10 usually will install them flawlessly.
2) GETTING THE LIST OF APPS THAT DON'T ALLOW ADB BACKUP
2.2) CHECKING FOR SOFTWARE AND SMARTPHONE
Go into cygwin to a working directory to store there your temporary files:
Code:
cd /cygdrive/c/Temp/
Check with Cygwin that you PATH is currently set and that adb.exe and aapt.exe are usable:
Code:
which adb
/cygdrive/c/Users/Admin/AppData/Local/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb
which aapt
/cygdrive/c/Users/Admin/AppData/Local/Android/sdk/build-tools/24.0.3/aapt
Now connect your android smartphone to the computer with the screen unlocked, accept any data connection (use MTP method if asked or from notifications panel), authorize the computer and run on Cygwin:
Code:
adb devices
List of devices attached
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
LGH815b4b2c42e unauthorized
adb devices
List of devices attached
LGH815b4b2c42e device
2.3) GETTING THE LIST OF ALL APPS ON THE DEVICE
On this step, a list of all apps on the smartphone, will be saved to a file called all_packages.txt in the format of package name. That string that appears at the end of the url when you browse an app on the Play Store.
Code:
adb shell pm list packages | grep -v '^$' > all_packages.txt
UNDER CONSTRUCTION. WILL REPLY WHEN FINISHED. SUBSCRIBE IF YOU ARE INSTERESTED
It looks like somebody released an application for that and works great:

Windows says the installer is a trojan. This is the link I reached from the OP. Windows identifies it as Spursint.F!cl. I guess false positive? It can't install. I'll try portable.

Google discover feed, how can I enable it?

Hi folks, I have just got my Find X2 Pro today and so far I am loving it, however one feature is missing for me. On my old Mate 20 Pro, I had the google discover feed if I did swipe right....is there anyway to enable this on the Oppo phone. All I currently have is the smart assistant which does work but its not ideal.

Not sure if you figured this out, I was going to do a guide but decided just to post here:
All you need to do to get the discover feed (only tested on ColorOS 11), is to remove the Oppo smart assistant app (what you currently get when swiping left on the home screen).
You need to force the app off with ADB, reboot your phone and as long as you have the Google app installed, you'll have the discover feed!
The ADB command to run is:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.assistantscreen
If for some reason you want to reinstall, you can do so with this command:
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.coloros.assistantscreen
If you don't know how to get and use ADB, here's a quick guide.....
You can download Platform Tools directly from the Android developer here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
There are loads of more detailed guides on how to use ADB, but basic steps are:
Download the platform tools from the link above and extract to somewhere on your PC, e.g. C:/platform-tools
Open a command prompt on your PC (type cmd in the Windows search bar) and right click on it then run as Administrator
Change the directory to where your 'platform-tools' folder (so something like 'cd C:/platform-tools')
On your phone, USB debugging needs to be enabled, so:
Enable developer options by going to settings > About Phone > Version and clicking on Build number several times
Under Additional Settings > Developer Options, enable 'USB Debugging'
Plug your phone into a USB port on the PC
Make sure your phone is on 'Transfer Files / Android Auto' mode (the default is 'Charge only' mode)
Once set, you should get a popup on your phone to ask to Allow USB debugging, click 'Allow'.
Back in the command prompt, type 'adb devices' and hit return (you should see the serial number of your phone if connected)
Now you can get deleting - run the command mentioned above to remove the smart assistant app.
Note that it doesn't actually delete the app from the phone, it just removes it for the main user, i.e. you.
Done, enjoy!

Not sure if you figured this out, I was going to do a guide but decided just to post here:
All you need to do to get the discover feed (only tested on ColorOS 11), is to remove the Oppo smart assistant app (what you currently get when swiping left on the home screen).
You need to force the app off with ADB, reboot your phone and as long as you have the Google app installed, you'll have the discover feed!
The ADB command to run is:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.assistantscreen
If for some reason you want to reinstall, you can do so with this command:
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.coloros.assistantscreen

Works perfectly on my Find X2 Lite (ColorOS 11 too). Thank you so much for the wonderful guide! I just received the April 2021 update (by using a VPN to France). and without adding back Oppo Smart Assistant, it appears to work just fine. Also worth noting that the annoying Smart Assistant did not come back from this update.
So it seems (to me at least) that you don't need to bring back Smart Assistant before every update. But still, I would recommend doing so just anyways, especially when the Android 12 update comes around.

Can someone advise if this process works on the Oppo Find X2 Pro running Color0S 12.1?

I just tried it and, at least in my case, worked only the first swipe and then it disappeared.
I'm on a Find X2 Pro (ColorOS 12 - CPH2025_11_F.13)
However I found out that it worked by updating the stock laucher. I don't know if I can share here the apk, but you can find it online: com.android.launcher_12.0.50-12050_minAPI30(arm64-v8a,armeabi,armeabi-v7a)(nodpi).apk
With this, after the uninstall od the OPPO Assistant via ABD, you'll have Google feed discover working on ColorOS 12
Anyone got this working for ColorOS 13?
When I run:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.assistantscreen
I get a message saying the package can't be found???
