Would I still be able to update my software without issues in my Galaxy s9 for instance after removing bloat via this method?? If yes, would it bring the apps back??

Yes you will be able to to update your device without any issue.
No your app will not be back unless the app's apk is present in the update package.
Hi,
Do you have any ideea how to re-install an app uninstalled by miskate?
Thanks
This pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.my.demo.app only removes the app from user 0 ( current user )
Sooo to reinstall and app, you will need to factory default your device
Please Help~
I've done the steps on your video https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/ .... but the result is always "failure" not found ... can you please help me. Thank You.
This might be silly, but how do we get the app's identifier, like com.demo.my.app? Settings > Apps does not seem to have that info.

Code:
adb shell pm list packages | grep <search-term>
Example: You can type "chrome" instead of <search-term> to find the Chrome browser.
For graphical solution you can install the app named "Package Name Viewer 2.0" by csing. :good:

Would give this a try as soon as i get my hands on a proper pc. The korean apps on my phone are very annoying.
Is there a command to enable apps without factory reset?

I would say
1. Download from android themselves:
developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
2. Extract the .zip file somewhere on your computer and add that folder to your windows PATH variable so you can reference it from anywhere using command prompt (cmd.exe).

I had to do it twice, because I didn't turn off auto update in Galaxy Apps and didn't uninstall Secure Folder before I started. I'm not 100% of the connection, but somehow Bixby came back, but I uninstalled Secure Folder, turned off Auto Update, and it worked great. They got root for my device like two days later, so kind of pointless, but it helped a lot! Thanks! :good:
please I need help how can I enable an application that I uninstall by mistake ('com.google.android.apps.photos'), without factory reset, besides which is the command that I should use to disable an application?
nota: the options that are in previous comments do not work
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.

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.
I am debloating my Real Me 5 Pro using adb commands.

After I try any method of removing bloatware using adb debug without root on Android 12 and 13, finally I've got method that worked both Android 12 or 13.
if regular adb disable/uninstall commands do not work, then
For Android 13 try
Code:
adb shell service call package 131 s16 com.abc.xyz i32 0 i32 0
for Android 12 try
Code:
adb shell service call package 134 s16 com.abc.xyz i32 0 i32 0

With Poco F1, Mi 8, Mi 9 Lite worked like a charm.
With Mi 10 Lite I got, even if I activated USB debugging:

For me it worked... But the debloater program shows me "not all functions are available"
But for debloating it works
Which version do you have used?! Latest or another?
if i'm right, only chinese version have telephone-messages app made by xiaomi, eu-global version have the google apk.
i'll post the command used for some app that i've used
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.subscriptions.red |Google One subscription delete
pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel |Google Pay disabled
it's needed to activate the debug function in the phone or adb doesn't work well (and accept the PC id when connect the phone with usb cable)

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

These may fix delayed notifications:

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)

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.

You don't need to uninstall the powerkeeper; turning off sleep mode in the battery saver scenarios should help.

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

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)
