Hi guys I just got my reno ace and shockingly found out that I cant set a third party launcher as default
I tried to use the adb to remove the system launcher following instruction from other threads but I failed. Below is what I put in and what I got.
255|OP4A89:/ $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oppo.launcher
Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]
Can anyone help me out plz:crying::crying::crying: Many thanks
P.S. I did successfully remove one of the system app but it just doesnt work the same way when it comes to the launcher
I got the same issue when trying to uninstall any apps :"""(
I can't remove stock launcher either and nobody seems to have an answer.
You can't uninstall certain apps sadly like App Market
I get the same message, I thought I was doing it wrong.
Me too
Hopefully some will come up with a fix, I'm trying to figure out how to remove that breeno feed, it's all on Chinese, I wouldn't have minded so much if it was in English. Also got this weird issue with the linked in app being Chinese as well even though i installed it from the play store.

Go to settings, Breeno and you should see the feed option toggle.
I have Google calendar in Chinese but when I go into it, it's in English weird!

Hi iv seen loads of people trying to remove stock apps. Due to the eMMC protection the DesireHD/DesireZ/G2 has we are unable to do this at this point. But what we can do is to stop them from running and showing in the app list.
I will use Amazon MP3 as an example :-
1) Find the process name of the APP yor want to disable. You can do this by looking in /system/app for the file name. Or i find this method a lil quicker
From Terminal App or ADB shell type
pm list packages
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and find the process in the list i.e com.amazon.mp3
2) In Terminal App or ADB shell type "pm disable ProcessName" i.e.
pm disable com.amazon.mp3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3) Reboot phone or just the launcher
4) The app wont/cant run (the icon may stay tho.)
All credit goes to others around the web
[UPDATED 27/10/2010] Icon may not be removed
It just reappears in the list when I do this.

Same here too.
Well, I've used 'pm disable *twitter*' - That should work shouldn't it?
Rebooting now
Could you stop Sense from running this way and just use Launcher Pro?
Stock apps
I would be sooo greatfull to get no sence DHD... Im opened to any sugestions and ideas....
you must remember first to type 'su' to get super user permissions, you will know that you have su permissions when the $ turns to a #.
Hope this helps you all.
Credit to others and not me, I'm just regurgitating info that I have sought out.
Yer the icon wont go when in scense but the app cant run anyway so it cant hog RAM/CPU ect.
More comprehensive guide/explanation here from the G2 thread:

Hi
Can i disable Sense and the whole sense applications?
I cant find sense in the list.
Is com.htc.launcher the sense launcher?
EDIT:
I have disabled com.htc.launcher but sense is still there.
For those who hate bloatware HTC like me, I created this list:
Code:
su
pm disable com.amazon.mp3/com.amazon.mp3.client.activity.LauncherActivity
pm disable com.amazon.mp3
pm disable com.htc.android.Stock
pm disable com.htc.android.htcsetupwizard
pm disable com.htc.friendstream
pm disable com.htc.ereader
pm disable com.htc.laputa
pm disable com.htc.laputa.HtcLaputaInstaller
pm disable com.htc.connectedMedia
pm disable com.htc.Weather
pm disable com.htc.googlereader
pm disable com.htc.htctwitter
pm disable com.htc.android.mail
pm disable com.futuredial
pm disable com.htc.wdm
pm disable com.htc.recommend
Warning! The list is for those who REALLY hate the Sense and HTC applications: it disables apps like Weather, Ebook reader, RSS Feed reader, Locations, etc.
I have not tested the phone thoroughly after disabling these applications, I hope not to have disabled something vital .
If you know any other application that can be disabled safely, let me know and I will add to the list.
What we could really do with is a list of what each of these actually does.
Even better, can no-one make an app, like the SGS had, which you tap on the app name and it removes it (disables) rather than having to go into console?
Might be a dumb question but does this method require rooting?

This is also the only way to get rid of the stock version Soundhound and Quickoffice? I have purchased these 2 apps and if I install these two I will get 2 icons for Soundhound and 2 for Quickoffice. I have tried Launcherpro - because you can disable apps.. but if I disable the standard Soundhound then It will also disable the commercial version. This is also for Quickoffice!
Anyone got some tips for this 'problem'?

Have the same question ! I'm trying to use VISIONary to get temp root but doesn't work ! I'm getting rooting device , please wait message for over 10 minutes now nothing else
Check if debugging mode is checked in setup/applications.
Yes it is checked otherwise you can't even run the app
the last version of titanium backup is able to totally remove system and/or preinstalled apps, like amazonmp3 etc. tried it and it worked for me, after two reboots the app is completely gone!
all of the above "hacks" didn't work for me (although i am temp rooted with visionary and used the "su" command), but titanium backup did the trick!
version: 3.5.7.3
click and hold on the app, choose "force remove app (by recovery exploit)"
What is it? Can I disable them?
Why do you need to disable them?

If it do not function for anything, at least not consume RAM.
Not the Webview if you use GApps such as Play Store, etc, Facebook yes if unused
Disappointed in Sony for including com.facebook.appmanager and com.facebook.system as uninstallable components. My Z5 came with the Facebook app already installed (Customized DE firmware). I never even ran the app (I don't do facebook) - uninstalled it the second I spotted it but these two processes remain and can only be disabled, not uninstalled.
Feck off Facebook!
I deleted webview once on my old Z1, system became unresponsive.

Tks !!!
I keep a real clean phone. I don't use FB either and have it disabled. But I discovered this file or application and as fast as I would shut down and delete cache and data it would reload itself. This action alone made me suspicious of it and I wanted it off my phone or at the very least disabled. On another forum it was recommended to install "Package Disabler Pro" at a cost of $.99 and I tried it. In the notes and warnings you have to use this carefully least you make the phone unusable but I "disable" these two persistant "Facebook" files and they have not come back. My phone works fine too. Then I went after the damn Sprint/Samsung installed voicemail program that keeps wanting you to upgrade and then it had a persistant flag that kept coming up saying "We had forced upgrades too but this one is necessary". I said no to that too and with this program finally have turned it OFF.
Hope this helps.

To completely disable them ("temporary" uninstallation) use Debloater http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
or learn how to use the
Code:
pm hide
command
As suggested, i would not disable Android Webview.
Always do a BACKUP of your personal files before disabling system apps : if you are not rooted and disable the wrong package, you'll get in bootloop and will have to reset the phone.
lol answered in a resurrected old thread,
Lisa stop making jokes please XD
Not buying a new $900 Unlocked smartphone only to have Facebook locked into the OS of my new smartphone. If HTC wants to improve sales numbers and get more people to buy their smartphones they should not perinstall crap on there that that end users can not uninstall. Disable feature is BS. Those that want Facebook can download app on their own from App Store. Forcing things upon ends users means people will not buy your smartphones. HTC should sell some clean cut Google smartphones with stock OS on them with no other BS preinstalled

Root it in 60 seconds easy as pie and delete the facebook apk (and anything else you dont want)
Please, do not lie.
ROOT is not needed to uninstall ANY app on HTC.
For instance I hate that ugly disgusting thing popping up at the bottom of the screen after making screenshot - within 3 seconds I uninstalled it:
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.htc.screencapture
Basically in 15 minutes using GOOGLE to change the package name at the end of command - I uninstalled 50 of pre installed system and non-system bloats (including 3 facebooks) ..

And how will u do that on other phones?
There is no bloatware so I don't need to deinstall. Xiaomi allow to deinstall any app with 2 clicks.
But Facebook is more than bloatware...

Could you upload a screenshot of the option to uninstall Facebook from new HTC U12+ ? To the best of my knowledge only a DISABLE feature is available which is completely useless if you care about privacy.

I didn't lie. My method does work. I never said root was required to delete apps, I simply provided my method. The method you posted is another way without root.

That just essentially removes the ability for that user to see it Or the system to load it in the background. The APK is still on the phone. Either way it's a viable solution that stops the app from running.
Facebook apps are bloated down with bad useless coding.
Uninstall doesn't help. After a reboot it's loaded again!... Had the same problem on my HTC 7. can't remember what i did to COMPLETELY remove it.

No, this will not really uninstall apps in /system partition
disable the facebook app AND the support apps, as those are the ones found to have been spying even if you disabled the main accounts.

Not having it in OS would be good either way. I see that supposedly it was Facebook who decided to pull it.
Mod edit: Quoted post removed.
Sorry but I am neither a bot/troll account nor am I peddling anything for any party. I speak for myself and the products I own myself. At the end of the day any preinstalled and apps that can not be uninstalled is bad for end users who purchase smartphones. Those that want certain apps can download them themselves. We don't need anything forced down our throats to use.
Hi folks,
after the latest system update to my S8+ G955FD from yesterday I suddenly had a new app called "upday" proudly prodding unsolicited news into my face and using up my mobile data volume.
So I went to the ADB section here on xda-developers, installed minimal ADB + fastboot, found the appropriate package name, put the phone to USB debugging as you do, and successfully uninstalled that using this command
>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 de.axelspringer.yana.zeropage
Success
So that's gone now which is good. I also had it disabled in settings - apps - show system apps, but for good measure uninstalled using ADB as well.
Beautiful.
However: When I long press my desktop, and scroll over to the left, I expected to see nothing any more where upday has been. But unfortunately, instead there is something else now, called "Sohu News" which is disabled but visible, showing a Samsung logo and a few asian characters which I am unable to read.
Tried to search for it but came up empty. Please accept my apologies if I didn't search good enough.
I haven't enabled this yet to check what it does, and I haven't seen any disturbing notifications yet (just uninstalled the new upday package a few minutes ago).
Nevertheless this "Sohu News" somehow bothers me.
My question:
Can this be uninstalled using ADB just like upday, and can anybody tell me the corresponding package name?
Thanks heaps!
I know this is an old thread, but I have the solution and wanted to share it.
Once you remove the apps with the ADB, restart the phone into the recovery mode and erase the cache partition.
I'm looking to transformmy gw4 to close to pixel watch style and want to get rid of any samsung ux apps.
So i would like uninstall/disable any samsung ux apps and services that eat battery for no reason and not break any services (steps, heartrate etc.
Not uninstall but preferably disable (correct me if i'm wrong, but after uninstalling system apps using adb can these be installed again if i want to go back to stock by factory reset?)

No it's absolutely safe to uninstall bloatware as factory image can't be modified without root.
Calling pm uninstall --user 0 [package] should uninstall for current user eg. on a different partition which was setup during device initial setup.
Also it's safe to execute pm delete-dexopt [package] it order to remove files after the app optimization process on first start.
Next week I'll try to create a list of app safe to uninstall.
P.S. Oh, meanwhile could you try to take a look at the installed system apps list
pm list packages -s
@ArletPDR you can try this method though it's from 2021.

Sounds good to me, its a shame that I can't remove samsung health for all the health tracking functions of the watch to still work properly, it's a huge battery hog and I'd rather use google fit or better yet, and open source tracker, but I guess that's on me for buying a samsung watch, can't wait for it to be rooted

This list still works, it has been updated due to an issue with gps not working when uninstalling sth related to Bixby. I've used this list just two weeks ago and no issue. Even uninstalled more aps then listed. So just give it a try.

I did, and I had no issues with gps, just didn't remove watch faces because I don't think those affect performance at all
