Hello buddies..!! I have come up with a simple tool for windows to remove bloatware from your Android device. The tool name is PSA. Many of Android device makers developed their ROM with lots of bloatware which are all that we don't need. I have been searching for the solution to remove unwanted apps(without root). But, I found a solution for all those are with Rooted devices. I end up with disappointment and finally, I started working on developing a simple tool which threw out the waste(unwanted APKs)
Please follow the below instructions to remove system apps from your Android device.
for Rooted devices:,
Download System app remover from play store.
For Unrooted devices (working on almost all devices):
1. Enable USB debugging option in your device.
To enable USB debugging option, go to settings-->about phone-->tap on "build number" option 7 times.
Note: In Xiaomi phones, go to settings-->about phone-->tap on "MIUI version" 7 times.
2.Download PSA tool.
3. Connect your Android device to the windows PC.
4. Click on PSA.exe and enable administrator rights to run the program.
5. Now Download the Package name viewer app from play store.
6. After installing the package name viewer app, you will find the list of packages names under app names. It looks like "com.android.browser".
7. Note down the package name of the app which you want to remove/delete from your device.
8. Enter that package name onto the tool on pc which is asking the package name and click the enter button.
9. You are done...!!! the app will be successfully deleted from your device.
Note: For all download links, please visit my personal blog--> indiantechspot[dot]blogspot[dot]com

This is the first guide and the first rooting EVER for THL W9 based on MTK6589T chipset by MEDIATEK.
Also this will guide you to fully customize and apply fixes and mods to the official THL W9 ROM.
What you need:
a. PC or laptop in good working condition.
b. USB cable for THL W9 (micro usb) in perfect condition.
c. Some knowledge on ADB and Rom Customization.
d. Patience.
ATTENTION: THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND YOU PROCEED WITH YOUR OWN RISK.
THIS CAN PERMANENTLY DESTROY YOUR DEVICE. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS OF DATA.
SECTION A - IF YOU HAVE THE INTERNATIONAL ROM AND WANT TO ROOT.
1. Turn W9 off , wait for the vibration. Take off the battery, wait 5 seconds and put it back.
Plug usb cable to pc and install usb drivers when asked. (You might need to plug-unplug multiple times to get the driver right) - Driver on MEDIATEK official site or elsewhere.
You might also need ADB working (not sure about this). follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272266
2. Download (from internet) and run eroot v1.3.4. Link: http://www.runamux.net/search/view/file/9fLmV0ty/ERoot-1014.html
Boot W9 to Android and enable USB Debugging. Run eroot (with admin privileges) and IF everything is ok you have to see Thl W9 recognized by eroot.
Click Root. You have to get 4 ticks. Unplug usb, close eroot.
3. Check root - install superuser - busybox.
You can follow this using adb commands: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272266
OR
Enable usb storage mode and copy to SD card the following APK files:
BusyBoxPro v9.9.
SuperSU v1.32
Root Explorer v3.1.1
Root Checker Pro v.1.2.8
You can find those on internet or xda forums. Install everything and run everything.
On root check pro you have to see green text when you press verify Root and BusyBox.
On root explorer you can access root and make it ro->rw (read only, read write).
ROOT IS DONE!
SECTION B - IF YOU HAVE THE OFFICIAL CHINESE ROM WITH NO GOOGLE APPS OR ACCIDENTLY INSTALL THE official CHINESE ROM AND WANT TO GO BACK.
1. Be sure that your rom is in good working condition with no errors.
Otherwise maybe is better to flash official rom again. Language only CN,EN.
Official ROM with flash tool here: http://www.needrom.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/W9_20130702-FH16.rar
Source site: http://www.needrom.com/mobile/thl-w9/
If you have the international ROM and want to root, please go to section A.
2. PERFORM TASK 1 ON SECTION A.
3. DOWNLOAD SP FLASHTOOL OR BIRDA FLASH TOOL and official Rom THL W9. BirdA Flash tool included in rar file.
4. Select proper scatter file (specific for official chinese rom) and click download button on flash tool.
Turn Off and remove battery from W9. Wait 5 seconds and put back. Plug USB cable.
Flash tool should detect W9 and start to load... The process will end with a green circle small window. Unplug USB and turn W9 ON.
5. When boot go to settings and language & input. First option is language, switch to English. (Go with symbols because on first boot you got chinese)
6. Perform TASK 2 & 3 of Section A to ROOT W9.
7. Now you have to remove chinese apps. There is no specific way to do it, but the main idea is here:
a) uninstall everything you can from settings->apps.
b) disable everything you can from settings->apps->all. (Be careful to recognize what is chinese and not android's processes)
c) use Root app Delete application to remove unwanted chinese apps. (this is useful when attached to Android system) found on internet or xda forum.
8. Make it Google.
Extract apk files from gapps.zip. download here: http://goo.im/devs/UniqueDroid/gapps/gapps-4.2.1
I notice that google tts conflicting with existing. dont copy this.
Copy the files to your sd card,
Use Root Explorer installed on step 6, and move this apk files from sd card to root/system/app.
Restart. This will install all Google Files and you have to be able to google login, with google services etc.
9. Install extra apk files:
Playstore 4.3.11, maps7.0.0, googletts3.1, googlesearch 2.1.12.516912, youtube4.2.16 from APK files.
Download from internet or xda forums.
If you want to remove THL Stock lockscreen, you can use Holo Locker from play store.
If you ever had the error text to speech has stopped, then go to settings, language and input and under Text to speech select PICO TTS.

Bro is it working on my Nokia x2ds version 2.1.0.11 ? Plz inform me. I want to root my mobile.
Recently we’ve received complaints on the factory reset protection issue that’s been added on the Android platform to make its security stronger. So we at NettoHub will once again be ending the frp issue with a viable solution that won’t take long and will unlock or bypass the frp “factory reset protection” on your Mediatek Android phones, mod edit - link removed Meanwhile if you’ve had any issues earlier with a different fix or solution and have maybe soft bricked your phone on the way then follow this link to fix your phone back to factory settings. If you don’t have any issues besides the frp issue and want to mod edit - link removed make or keep a backup of your phone’s firmware then proceed via this link to keep a clean OS back up
Okay without further ado I’ll like to proceed with the instructions and guidelines to fixing the frp issue.
Disclaimer: Please y’all should make sure to follow the guidelines and instructions to prevent any future clashes or problems as mod edit - link removed would not be held responsible for any damage caused by your inability to follow instructions.
What you need:
A Computer.
A Usb Cord.
Miracle Box Ver 2.27A.exe
That’s all
How To Bypass Google FRP Lock On Any Mediatek Android Device.
FIRST METHOD: The easiest way to Unlock FRP on some MTK devices is to skip the Wifi network request page.
SECOND METHOD:
IMPORTANT:The software you just downloaded will be totally useless if you fail to get this step right.
You MUST Manually Install the MTK 65xx Preloader driver from Device manager > Add Legacy Device > Install Manually > Select i Have disk > Select Driver > Next.
Windows 7 32bit and 64bit PC is recommended but Windows 8 and 10 can work if driver signature verification is turned off.
Launch the Miracle Loader and select the UNLOCK/FIX tab >> Check the box for “Clear Settings/FRP”and click the START Button.
Now, Turn off Mobile Phone and connect to PC USB while “Waiting for USB Port” message is displayed on Miracle Box.
If MTK Preloader drivers was successfully installed, the commands to Bypass FRP will be installed and status should display DONE. At this point, remove / reinsert the battery and Turn on the device. It should allow you SKIP wifi > and finish initial setup without requesting for Google Account previously used on the device.

Hi, I downloaded Miracle Box from GetDroidTips and scanned it with VirusTotal. It says it's a virus, and when I put it in a VM, it prompted me to start a process impersonating a critical Windows service as administrator. Where can I download the legitimate version?
(Found this tool in a youtube description box)
Basically this tool is used to uninstall any bloatware through adb, doesn't requires root access, doesn't block OTAs
Requirements: 1) This Tool - https://goo.gl/6qtRKR 2) ADB : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 3) USB DEBUGGING ENABLED 4) ES FILE EXPLORER (optional)
Just after setting up with usb debugging (tapping build number 7 times, going to developer options, enabling usb debugging), connect your phone to pc ensuring that adb setup is installed on your pc. Run the tool, enter the package name (of that apk) (using es file explorer)

Sorry, only on Samsung. The feature is exclusive to Samsung phones as Samsung has a link to windows service apk that integrates with the your phone app and also allows opening of apps. It's a parnership between Samsung and Microsoft.
Is there any way to get those functionalities in non-samsung devices?

You could try, and it may end up bricking your device or bootlooping
