I need to reinstall whatsapp to restore some chats but am unable uninstall whatsapp. When I click uninstall it just bounces me back to the app settings. Have also tried ADB and a couple of uninstall apps with no joy. The whatsapp version installed was the apk direct from whatsapp, not transferred using phone clone and other than youtube vanced I am am running HMS only.
Any ideas?
Hi there,
Did you tried to first clean cache and data in WhatsApp before uninstalling ?
Also, you can look if there is an update on official whatsapp website, apply it, and then try to uninstall ?
Tried cache and storage and no luck, pretty sure I have the latest version but I'll take a look.
From memory I had this issue when I got my first P40 pro last year and ended up going the factory reset route.
You said you tried with ADB, so I suppose you typed something like this :
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.whatsapp
Is there any error message ?

I did not note it down, think it was something like invalid command. I'll try again tomorrow.
Checked and I have the latest version of the app too.
Figured it out, I had to remove the memory card. No idea why but found it buried in a Huawei support article.

very interesting to know is a way to remove any bloat-ware or any unwanted app from your phone without root privilege.
This tutorial should work on other phones too.
here is my tutorial:
1.) you need linux or windows system on your pc with installed (mini) adb for it!!
2.) you need to have the "developer" menu enabled on your phone
( the way to get this is described many times- please search for it if unknown! )
3.) connect your phone to pc and open a command line interface
4.) enter following command without quotes : adb devices
If everything goes alright, you should see a response like this:
List of devices attached
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
AHK02574823233 unauthorized
5.) enter following command without quotes : adb shell
the prompt should change to:
HWMHA:/
6.) now you can enter the command to delete the unused software packages:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name>
Examples:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.photos removes Photo app
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.hidisk removes Huawei file manager
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.totemweather removes Huawei weather widget and service
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.totemweatherwidget removes Huawei weather widget and service
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.totemweatherapp removes Huawei weather widget and service
Tip: you can find the package name of all apps you want to delete with this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.majeur.applicationsinfo
BE CAREFULL!!! All you will do, is done at your own risk!!!!
the selected apps are only removed (for user 0 only - not from your phone!) until the next factory reset!!!
so if something goes wrong, you have to factory reset your phone to get back all deleted apps! (see Edit!!!)
After a factory reset, all deleted apps are back again!
As i know, OTA updates are possible after deleting some apps because the BB is not open and the recovery was not changed!
(personally checked!)
btw: i have tested this tutorial by myself and it works without problems! (smartkey and fb are no longer available now.:laugh
Edit:
How to rebuild removed system apps:
if you have removed a app, you can do the following steps to get back without a factory reset!
1.) install "SDMaid" app
2.) go to sdmaid app -> "app control" and list all apps which are installed on your phone
3.) go to sdmaid menu (right upper corner) and select "system" to list only to the system installed apps
4.) you will see, that all "deleted apps" are present as before but without there icons!
remember, you had removed it only for user 0!!!
5.) select the app, you want to restore and press sdmaid "app export" for it!
the app should no be exported to internal sd7download folder.
6.) you can no go to the download folder and reinstall the app back to user 0 accessibility!
Hope you will understand my bad translation! If yes, you should know now the way to rebuild removed system apps!
Now, we only need a list of apps that can be safely remove

if you don’t know which apps are not needed , this thread is not for you!
i have removed on my phone:
Swiftkey; SwiftKeyFactorySettings; Chrome; Easteregg; Duo; Music; Photos; Exchange; Tag; Google Books; Google Drive; Huawei Drive;
Totem Weather app; Live Wallpaper Pickers; Youtube; FB; FB Installer; Partner Bockmark Provider; Google Contact and Calender sync;
Watch Sync; and some others.
But this decision depends to my personal requirement!!!!
BTW:,
If this tutorial was helpful to you, feel free to press the thanks button for it!
i have seen, that all apps are still invisible resident in system after "deleting" them. I saw it in SDMAID app.
All deleted apps are listed without a icon. After taping "info" for this apps, i get a information screen, that this apps are not installed for user 0. So everything seems to be alright!
Awesome, thanks!

if you remove this app, you will have a unusable Torch icon gadget on your lock screen for it!
BTW: as i know, on our Mate 9 the torch functionality is a part of the system ui (com.android.systemui).
If you remove the system ui, you properly should get more problems as you like to get.
And this app isn’t removable from system! It is only removable from your access.
I suggest to stay with it.
How to rebuild removed system apps:
if you have removed a app, you can do the following steps to get back without a factory reset!

I ran into the same issue with my Mate 10 Pro. Unknown sources is on, but it keeps saying app not installed. I tried it again on my Honor 8 just to check and it's the same thing. However, it also tells me the package appears to be corrupt. This is for the com.android.providers.calendar system app. My guess is the app is already installed but hidden from us (user 0). I'll report back if I find a fix.

Samsung A8, Android 7.1.1
I was following uninstalling via adb shell some of the unwanted apps on this phone, and i mistakenly removed the wrong onewith this:
pm uninstall --user 0 com.samsung.android.providers.contacts
I have all my contacts in cloud, but now the sync does not work, and when i use the contacts app (which i updated) to add a new contact it says
"no app was found to handle this action"
I have tried downloading the apk available elsewhere, but it does not work.
tried reinstalling the contacts app from playstore, same things
Any suggestions are welcome to fix this without a phone reset.
Thanks.

I doubt you can actually fix it without factory reset. Last thing you can try is to download the apk again and install it with
Code:
pm install --user 0 [B]apklocation[/B]
If it doesn't works, proceed with a Factory Reset. Please don't mess again with thing you don't know

Hi there. I am wondering if you were able to remove Breeno feed and browser. I am thinking of a CN version Find X3 Pro, as it is almost half price of the global. version. But after a Realme X50 Pro CN, despise the Breeno and other related apps not even being able to disable them. Thanks.

2 - Now, go to the developer and enable the USB Debugging option.
3 - Connect your phone to your PC via USB cable and open an elevated(Run as Administrator) command window.
4 - Enter the command “adb shell” and press Enter.
Now, enter the commands from the list below to remove the respective app.

Yeah I've done this on the chinese ROM, can't remember exactly what i did remove (it wasn't exactly that list), I used an app called 'Package Names' from the Play Store to help identify which ones I wanted to remove.
It is a bit risky so I targeted the Breeno voice stuff and apps that I knew wouldn't be system critical, has been a success.
Google assistant now working. Also google feed now comes up instead of the breeno feed thing.
Nearly feels like a european ROM, my only remaining niggle is how to get location tracking turned back on for google maps timeline.

Yes same here as well. DId you manage to get the google feed to display English instead of straight Chinese characters as well?
As a bit of information, IDK if you've played around with defaults aswell:
I have been trying to get past the default app limits arbitrarily placed in the OS. I followed similar instructions to above to get a working SMS app other than the stock Messages. For me personally, I enjoy using Textra.
First I backed up the stock messages app and then removed it via the method above. Then I reinstalled it. Next I deleted Textra and then reinstalled it as well. I set Textra to default in the Textra app itself. Finally I removed Messages. I can message in Textra, but every time I receive a message the entire system has a hint box that appears that suggests to change preferences. It is important to note that the OS does not recognize Textra as the default, but it functions as one since the default is removed temporarily.

I think this is a sytem app,
So as to remove it ,you need root previlage ,
AS the twrp for realmex50pro is not availabe,you need to do this,
extract your bl of your current rom,
install magisk ,use magisk to patch the bl
boot to fastboot mode,flash the magisk patched bl,
boot to system,and complete the magisk install,
In magisk,set adb root previlage,
In adb command,type su,
then you type the correspondence delete command,
This time,Things will be done
Anyway,extract the bl of the current rom may be the most difficult task.
Try this website,I got it from another post,

I have a Samsung galaxy s10 and I have installed an app via apk (untrusted source) but it's corrupt, so I uninstalled the app and downloaded it again via play store but it gives me the message " you cannot install this app because another user has already installed an incompatible version on this device".
I searched on how to remove this and I found that I have to delete it with adb shell pm uninstall but when I press enter it just doesn't give my any response message. just puts me to a new line. But I tried to remove another app and the adb shell gives me "inaccessible or not found shell'
What should I do to remove this app? I don't want to do a factory reset
