Don´t delete it. Freeze is more better and safer. Try to freeze it in setting at the first of all uninstal updates. Or try link2SD to freeze.
Or use towelroot and Titainum backup

I think no. But you can get greenify's donation package from play store and use the "greenify system apps" experimental feature (you'll need xposed too).

Want to save more battry and Ram..

Its Very Easy....
1) Use Greenify (We All know About it)
Second Method Is Below.
>Go To
A)Settings
B)Apps
C)Click Any Apps And Select Any Pre Installed App
(Ex.. Google Play Games or Any other app which you Use Rarely)
Now click Disable To Disable It...
Tadaaa its Done.. Now Disable what u want And Save More Battry And Ram.
You Can Also Enable It. :beer:
dont want to be an ass
but.......
being root you can delete those system apps like google music, movies, books, etc, all that crap bloatware
i believe if you restart the phone they will be active again, so it is better to delete them, also titanium backup can freeze those apps
Using App Quarantine myself to disable unwanted apps.
If you are rooted you can even freeze apps that usually can not be frozen.
After a restart the apps remain frozen.

No, they will stay disabled even after OTA. Only factory reset brings them back.
Very good way for those without root.

so even if critical apps are disabled on stock , locked , unrooted xt1032, OTA will still be successful?
wont fail due to missing critical system apps?

You can not disable critical system apps. Just try and you will see.
You can disable apps same way from Android too, it is feature.

what about disabling Google Services Framework?
is this a critical system app?
i am able to disable it.

Then you kill play and bunch of other features, not a good idea.

was just using GSF as a quick example
but back to my original question is it better to enable ALL apps before taking OTA to avoid possible failure?
or will disabled apps still be "seen" during OTA updating?
i have disabled most Motorola apps that can be disabled are they considered critical when updating thru Motorola OTA?

You don't delete anything. You just tell the system not to start or use those apps. And as a worst case scenario, if you screw up something so bad that you can't even use the phone (but by default you cannot disable really critical apps without root and 3rd party software), a factory reset will solve it.

Terrible and dumb advise.
Remove system apps and every ota on any android device from any manufacturor will crash and fail. Are you going to help clean flash stock Android back to functional for Ota's with people who followed this advise? At least advise to put system apps back before applying OTA. (One can remove system apps and install as more battery and recources friendly user-app. But before OTA uninstall those apps and copy back apk's of those system apps).
But like said disable apps (also non-root) or freeze (only root) them solution. With Greenify Pro and Xposed Framework (root) one can Greenify (do not all but only for system non important) system apps. Without root Greenify can (when Greenify enabled in accesibilty options) force close all in Greenify by user defined unwanted still in background running user apps all at once with a shortcut. Not fake like every task killer in Play Store is.
Becareful with system applications!
I agree with the previous post...don't remove system applications unless you know it's not going to be linked to anything of use to you, and even then I would do a backup just in-case...having a broken installation of android simply due to having deleted some system app in an attempt to save a few MB of RAM would be...unfortunate.

lol really? you better use an iphone
i remove system apps of all my cell phone, and guess what, they work perfect, never had issues
and if i did someday i don't care, why? because you are root, you can recover roms, flash, upgrade, etc
and yes, i give advice to people who bricked their phones and give guides and methods of doing it, because bricking phones and recovering them it part of learning

I think you should not remove "EmergencyModeService" because without that, Ultra Power Saving Mode won't work. Otherwise, for people who do not use it, it can be removed.
You should also remove system32 folder in your computer

There are two ways out of this.
1. Unblock the contacts app
This option should be self-explainatory, but in case you don't know watch the video on how to do that.
2. Find an alternative
There is a site called ApkMirror. Go on there and download and install Google's contacts app.

Removing system apps like WhatsApp?

Hey there
How do I completely remove system-bound apps like WhatsApp and Instagram? The only option I am given is to "turn off" the application.
I tried using Titanium Backup but it ended up doing more harm than good so I just updated (redownloaded) the apps from the Google PlayStore until someone can help me achieve that. Would removing the actual .com file from the root directory work? I remember doing that on my HTC to safely remove system apps. If so, where is the folder containing them located?
Thank you for your time.
I completely disabled all unwanted apps (also system apps) using Package Disabler Pro (Samsung), no root required.

Removing system apps, does that make the phone go crazy?
"System apps" means all the apps you can't uninstall using the app manager.
Many of them installed by Samsung are bloatware or completely useless, unused and then unwanted.
Those apps can be safely disabled (not uninstalled), this process is reversible at any time.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, disabling the app (WhatsApp in this case) did not do it for me, simply because I'm trying to replace it with another application, in this case WhatsApp Plus.
I ended up removing all its files manually, which left it in the PlayStore with an "update" option, so I updated it and then uninstalled it. I don't know how I did it or how that worked, but it did!

Removing some stock apps: is it possible?

Hi, i got today my new P9 lite.
I would know if it is possible remove some system apps like google play, google drive etc. and other operator branded apps.
I need root (after unlocked bootloader and twrp) to do this?
Thanks.

Yes you need root for removing system apps. But why would you want to remove play store? You use you're smartphone just for calls and texts?
Also, deleting play store services will cause system instability, inability to receive updates, or to use some other services like cloud backup.....
Yes, is ok to delete apps that are considered bloatware ( like amazon, eBay, or games) but some of these are removable without root.
Best thing for you is to go to settings -> apps and click on apps that bother you. There you will find uninstall button for what you can delete or disable for apps that can be frozen
Thanks for answer.
Anyway i didn't write i want to remove play store or play services! I just says some google apps like play, drive, hangouts etc.

yes you can
I have removed Hicare, Hivoice, Huawei ID, NFC service, Services Exchange and all the google stock apps (Movies, music, google+ etc) and all is working fine (Google play services is an essential app)
You can also disable these apps on the info page of the apps.
They remain on the phone and take the space but they are not active any more.

To easily delede system apps you can use the app Link2SD if you have root access
Is not recommended to delete the stock apps because can cause malfunction of the system but you can stop the services. There are not many bloatware on Huawei P9 Lite an i think they can be necessary.

It's the app I have use to do the job. Works fine. Root needed.
1st of all you have to root your Android. You can use King Root app to root your device. (But I am not sure KingRoot will root your device or not). After rooting your android install lucky Patcher app. Then select the app you want to remove. But remember some of the apps are important for your device. so be careful about removing stock apps. Good luck!
