Question How to uninstall pre-installed apps stock rom - Google Pixel 6a

Hello, is there any guide in how to uninstall pre-installed apps like youtube and youtube music from the stock rom please?
Also another question - is it safe using apps like Shelter or Insular to use them for banking apps and outlook emails?

you can use adb commands.
first do
Code:
adb shell
then check ur user id (typically 0 but if it isnt then replace accordingly)
Code:
pm list users
to disable or uninstall apps for your user do
Code:
pm disable-user --user 0 com.some.package.name
pm uninstall --user 0 com.some.package.name
to enable or re-install apps for your user do
Code:
pm enable com.some.package.name
pm install-existing com.some.package.name
no idea about your second question, maybe open another thread for it, I doubt many people will find it here after reading the title is about installing apps.

[SOLVED] Remove bloatware (no root) pinyin (Failure [not installed for 0)

I am still with locked bootloader and unrooted for now. Anytime in the future I will probably switch to a custom ROM, but for now I want to 'experience the miui'. I am however removing some bloatware. I was able to do it via the pm uninstall command via adb shell. I removed all (system)apps I wanted to remove but for some reason I could not remove:
com.google.inputmethod.pinyin
It gives me this result:
whyred:/ $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.inputmethod.pinyin
Failure [not installed for 0]
I disabled MIUI optimization in Develop options and rebooted, but this did not help..
Does anyone know why I cannot uninstall this keyboard?
EDIT: Never mind, it was not a system app I guess. Just uninstalled it via the phone.. LOL :silly:
I'm in a same positionnement as you, I'd be interested if you knowing information to debloat the phones.
thx

[No root][8th gen] Permanently disabling Amazon apps on Fire HD 8 2018

Using adb shell I was able to uninstall and disable most of the Amazon apps for user 0 which saved me a bunch of storage and ram...
The tablet was performing wonderfully, unfortunately most of the Amazon apps were automatically re enabled and updated... Anyone here knows what system process is responsible for this? Anyone knows how to permanently disable Amazon apps without rooting????

Depends on what you were trying to disable.
None of the apps re-enabled so far by using THIS Tool Box on a HD 8" 2018 model.

I use the tool you mention in the link. Today my daughter brought her tablet because the fire launcher was there. I just reran the remove Amazon and it was gone again. I'm guessing there was an update. I didn't run the disable updates from the tool.
That being said ... For OP. I recommend the same tool as even if they re-enable. Plug in and disable again with the tool. Takes 30 seconds.

Use another commands:
Code:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota
I have disabled all Amazon junks. Look my screenshot below ↓↓
I'm used "adb shell pm disable-user --user 0" command to completely disabled all Amazon junks (i.e. OTA, Amazon Video, Appstore, and etc).
i am using
adb shell pm disable-user com.amazon.kindle.otter.oobe.forced.ota
i am not adding --user 0 and it still work.

Question Debload OnePlus 9

Hi there,
is there an easy way to debloat the one plus?
In the past it was possible with fastboot and the following command e.g.:
Code:
pm uninstall --user 0 cn.oneplus.nvbackup
But this did not work Any ideas?
Use magisk module Debloater.
I had to use a combination of Debloater along with the pm uninstall commands to remove several things that Debloater did not find (Netflix and YouTube among others).
@deadzombieseverywhere: Thank you. That works
Are there already some "safe" lists to use for the OP9?
@Slikkster2k: I will try that. For my op7 I found a long list, what to delete without issues. For the op9 it did not exist up till now, right? Where did you find Netflix?
Code:
pm uninstall --user 0 com.netflix.partner.activation
this did not work for me
I used
Code:
pm list packages -a
to list all packages, then searched the list for what I wanted to remove, and removed it with
Code:
pm uninstall --user 0 <package>
How is it not working for you? Did you get an error?
Mh, it works perfekt...the problem was me not the phone
Or use this app.
I will try, when necessary again
Question: Did somebody know how to get the ability to change the hosts file?
AdAway won't work, so I tried to change the rights at the hosts file, but even with root I was not able to get access...any suggestions?
Did you set AdAway to work systemlessly? And to use systemless hosts in Magisk?
Yes I did...the funny thing is, I had "full root" Firewall was working, but AdAway did not word. I installed Magisk again in the app and suddenly Adaway was working...strange.

Uninstalling system apps Failure [-1000]

Hello there people I have been trying to uninstall few android apps from a Xiaomi device but it seems some of them are throwing this error
whyred:/ $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 "com.xiaomi.calendar" Failure [-1000]
Does anyone have any idea how do I go about fixing this problem ? I would really appreciate any kind of help.
Thanks
My guess is the mentioned app is installed as a system-privileged app: such apps can only get uninstalled by a user with elevated rights, means he/she must be superuser.
BTW:
Uninstalling an app is applied with command
Code:
adb uninstall <PKG-NAME>

Question anyone have the Mix Fold 2 already? where is the mix fold 2 forum?

Vivo X Fold vs Xiaomi Mix Fold 2
Hey guys, It appears that Vivo and SamEsung have a new threat on the horizon... The Xiomi Mix Fold 2! Thinner, ligher, having better spec than the X fold, almost same size screens as the X Fold... And let's face it, Xiaomi has a better software...
forum.xda-developers.com
Got it like a week ago (UK)! Very impressed!
I have had mine for a week, agree best foldable to date.. Has anyone rooted yet ? other than mild annoyance with delayed notifications despite the regular setting changes in place in my home security and outlook all is perfect. Notifications only come in once I unlock the phone... No issues with google messages or whatsapp

I rooted.
These may fix delayed notifications:
Disable "Sleep mode" in battery settings
Disable "Suspend execution for cached apps" in developer options
Disable powerkeeper (Most people including me can disable it safely, but somehow few people got bootloop so take backup)

Is there a global rom for this phone? Do you need to root to install that? On my phone it does not say Global by MIUI version or anywhere, Im on stable Miui Fold 13.1.16. Any advantages to the Global rom? Thanks

There's no Global rom, and likely won't. There haven't been any announcements or rumours about brining this phone to the Global market. I'm hoping it does. Maybe if enough people import the Chinese model, they will bring the Mix Fold 3 to the Global market.
You can keep an eye on Xiaomi.eu to see if they develop a global rom for it, but as of right now they said they have no plans on developing one. If they do end up developing one, you will need root access to install.

Are you in the US? What carrier are you running? People I know are running T-Mobile on 5g without editing settings but my 5g does not stick and nothing I do in settings doesn't help (it isn't location either, 5g is right where I live)
Anyone in the US who has this phone, did you mess with any settings to get 5g? I know there's some people on TMobile that are getting 5g out the box with no settings update but with my T-Mobile sim, it resorts to LTE/LTE+ even though I have 5g preferred and all 5g switches on.

Can you please share your rooting method? I am not a novice when it comes to rooting. Custom recovery etc, but finding it hard to locate a proper guide, or custom recovery. Did you use Magisk for patched boot.img method? TWRP or OrangeFox custom recovery.
Any help or pointing in the right direction would be really helpful!

yes, I got my fold yesterday and I'm going insane with no gmail notifications if screen is off. can you please post the guide on how to root?
You don't need to uninstall the powerkeeper; turning off sleep mode in the battery saver scenarios should help.
I also posted a short while ago a method to enable the use of any 3rd party launcher.

I just used patching method.
It's the only recommended method by Magisk developer, so forget about TWRP method.

I am in the same boat... Let's hope it's fixed in a later update.
oh no... i did this:
Disable powerkeeper by adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.powerkeeper
and now i'm in an endless bootloop. i really need help
if anyone can help me I'd really appreciate it. I've wasted so many hours now already since this happened. Damn near ready to cry our of frustration after importing this device to the USA and only having it for two days.
My device is not unlocked which from what I read means I'm screwed.
I can get into fastboot but that is it. My device is recognized by miflash but I think I can't flash anything because my bootloader is locked.
I keep searching, reading and trying things but my knowledge is not great. I can't get out of this bootloop or flash anything with miflash
oh man this is so bad, and I got rid of my fold also and don't have another phone.

Have you tried booting into recovery and doing a factory reset? You would lose your data but I'd imagine it would reset any package changes you made allowing the phone to boot again (I haven't actually tested this nor do I even know if there is a recovery as I haven't tried to boot into it)
