I turned off Auto download on WiFi, but I'm not confident it will stop update to Oreo.
Anyone know if/what I need to do to prevent the update?
I found in Developer Options an auto system update option that I turned off but it still updated. Dammit!
No help from anyone here either. Maybe it can't be prevented.
I have deactivated network access for the app „System Update“ and deactivated the search for updates from within the update app.
Seems to work.
I'll keep that in mind if it happens again.
Update on turning off updates in Developer options: I have since found this to be what happens after turning off auto update in dev options:
It downloads the update
It puts a notice up that it has upgraded and I need to boot (that was when I posted about it still updating)
But turns out it does not actually perform the update.
It is a bit annoying. I get that notice and it remains in the notifications, even though I have gone in and turned off that notification. As long as it doesn't update, I guess I can live with it.
As it's already downloaded, I'd say your options won't help me at this point.
To get rid oft the notification, open Settings » Apps and delete data an cache oft the Systemupdate app. Then continue restricting its network access ( all three options) and notifications. To be sure, disable its ability to change system settings.

I presume I disable network access under networked apps menu. The only access listed there is mobile. I would think it could still get there when hooked to Wi-Fi.
Do not see an app called update for which to disable search. But I have applied all of your other suggestions, and appreciate your help.
without root : adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.hwouc
Done !
I was surprised...just got another prompt to update. Wanted access to photos. I denied and cancelled. I haven't had that particular promo for a while. I bet outs prompting now because I deleted the download. Although I have auto update turned off in developer options.
use my command and you'll never get this update again

Ok. Thanks. I'll have to get the appropriate stuff installed on the PC to do that. Since moving to this phone from Samsungs, I've not used any of that stuff, or done any rooting (I do miss root a bit).

So I have just finished a fresh reload of the original ROM, and now want to trh the command you listed
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.hwouc
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But I can't get ADB to recognize the phone. I have USB Debugging turned on. I have Hisuite able to see it. But ADB does not see it.
When I search Google for how to do ADB on the Mate 9, I keep getting led to info about installing fastboot. When I go to the Huwaei site to download the fastboot / adb stuff, the site freezes.
Any suggestions?

I don't know what was going on. AFter posting, I was chasing USB drivers. But I was having problems finding them to download too. I tried it again though, and it is now working. Not sure what was going on.
Thanks for your input. I appreciate it.

To disable System Update, use:
adb shell pm disable-user com.huawei.android.hwouc
If you ever want to enable it back, simply go to Settings, Apps, check to show System apps and services, scroll to System Update and Enable

So I did a list of the command parameters, and do not even see anywhere that -existing would be used.
Can someone please provide me correct command to re-install the com.huawei.android.hwouc?

Correct re-install command is as in the Post #15:
Code:
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.huawei.android.hwouc

Make sure to have ADB USB debugging enabled in Development menu. PC must be granted for debugging (from the phone side).
Ofc, drivers, etc must be installed to the PC - Minimal ADB and Fastboot package (search on XDA) will do
Problem is, I have already run the delete cmd from earlier in the thread (a reply to my original post here.) Now I need to reinstall. The post I quoted supposedly is how to do that, but I'm getting the errors noted. Going forward I will do it per your suggestion.
Hoping someone can give me correct syntax to revive the update functionality.

There is no ADB delete cmd - could you be precise and quote exactly the command you originally used?
And the ROGHT commands for ADB re-enabling and re-installing are e.g in my previous post, there are no other 'correct syntax' commands (Google search is also your friend)
If your ADB does not recognize
adb shell cmd package install-existing ...
then something is wrong with your ADB installation on PC or settings on the phone.
Follow the first link in my previous answer and set/install ADB exactly as described in the XDA article
Ofc, if you rooted the phone and you really DELETED hwouc, then you can not reinstall by ADB - but then ADB would not complain that it did not recognize the command but would complain that package did not exist
So you got your new shiny realme device but you hate bloatware or want to disable system apps so you can use 3rd party apps instead?
Follow the steps below:
THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT HOWEVER MAKE SURE NOT TO DISABLE IMPORTANT SYSTEM APPS. WIPE DATA/FORMATTING RE-ENABLES ALL SYSTEM APPS. THIS DOES NOT MESS WITH OTAs.
WHAT YOU NEED:-
ADB/Fastboot Drivers
Windows: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip,
Linux: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip
DEBLOAT:-
1. Enable developer options by tapping on the build number 7 times and enable USB Debugging.
2. Plug in your phone.
3. Goto the folder where ADB is installed, hold shift and right click, and click on open command window here(windows).
4. Type
in CMD
Code:
adb devices
in Powershell
Code:
./adb devices
.
5. This should return the ID of your device and show if its authorised. Enable debugging Promt on your Phone if it shows unauthorised (allow this computer).
6. Type
in cmd
Code:
adb shell
in Powershell
Code:
./adb shell
.
7. This should display a prompt, something like RMXxxxx:/ $
8. To uninstall type
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of the package>
To disable type
Code:
pm disable-user --user 0 <name of the package>
eg: pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.heytap.browser / pm disable-user --user 0 com.heytap.browser
9. Done!
To reinstall uninstalled apps type
Code:
pm install-existing <name of the package>
To enable disabled apps type
Code:
pm enable <name of the package>
Some apps do not uninstall such as market and gamecenter, disabling is the only option.
Hi, I made a small shell script to remove bloat in my device. Anyone who are interested can check it.
Place it in root of Internal Storage, then
Code:
adb shell
sh /sdcard/bloat.sh.txt

Hello everybody,
I accidentally deleted the contacts application from my ROG Phone 5 with the latest firmware installed...
when I try to open a contact it says it has no application installed.
Where can I get the application apk?
How did you go about deleting it? The system isn't read / write
If you used the adb uninstall trick, the command to restore is
Code:
adb shell cmd package install-existing <package_name>
I am running lineageos 17.1 and installed SAI, split apks installer. When I click on an apk file, I would normally get a prompt to choose between the system package installer (com.google.android.packageinstaller) and SAI (com.aefyr.sai) to open "Just Once" or "Always".
One time I accidently hit "Always" to use the system package installer to install an app and now I no longer get the prompt to pick one or the other. Is there a way to clear the default package installer? The system default installer is not listed in the app drawer or under Settings>Apps and only accessible in adb shell so there is no icon to long press to get app info and change "Open by default" setting. I tried "adb shell pm clear com.google.android.packageinstaller" as root to no avail.
Thank you for help in advance.
May be doing it the other way does help
Code:
adb devices
adb shell "pm clear com.aefyr.sai"
adb uninstall com.aefyr.sai
adb reboot
adb install com.aefyr.sai
Thank you for the suggestion but "adb pm clear com.aefyr.sai" and "adb pm uninstall com.aefyr.sai"and reinstalling didn't help.
Hello!
I have a Panasonic p55 novo running stock Android 4.4.2. It has a lot of Google bloatware which causes the phone to lag terribly. So once I tried to debloat it via setting up ADB and running command adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name >
but adb says something that user 0 not found or something like that. So I searched and found in some other forums a reply which said this is because multiuser feature was first introduced in Android 5.
My question is if the normal command is not working with KitKat devices, is there any other alternative command / method to debloat it? Any kind of script or an old command or a completely different method.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you
1. To uninstall apps you basically run
Code:
adb uninstall <package name>
2. To uninstall system apps phone's Android MUST be rooted, partition /system MUST get mounted as RW

But on my android 6 tablet, I did this without root and it worked. Beside tthe name of the app uninstaalled, it says not installed for this user.
Is rooting method compulsory?
