Here's how to disable the most troublesome system apps and services.
I use the pm disable command throughout, but unless otherwise noted OS 4 can use "pm block"
To re-enable an app, run the same command replacing "disable" with "enable" (or block with unblock)
See end of post about how to run the commands.

pm block com.amazon.otaverifier
Rename /system/priv-app/DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk to DeviceSoftware OTA.apk_

pm disable com.amazon.otaverifier
Rename /system/priv-app/DeviceSoftwareOTA/DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk to DeviceSoftware OTA.apk_

Run these with: adb shell pm . . .

. . Handy in scripts with the launcher commands. Reminder: When disabled, the system sees the Appstore as uninstalled.

. . JMZ's Fire tool makes perm changes and you get a message with each reboot. This command avoids both issues.

How to Run the Commands
The OTA verifier, stock launcher and appstore can be disabled/frozen with whatever app you use for that.
If you disable/enable regularly (to use the Appstore, for example), it's easier to do with scripts and launcher shortcuts.
From Fire HD:
Shortcut on launcher (fast and easy for any command) - See bibikalka's post for switching launchers and my post below it.
Terminal emulator app:
su
command
From computer:
GatesJunior's Debloater tool (fast and easy for OTA, launcher, appstore)
Manually with adb: Not all commands require root but most do, so . . .
adb shell
su
command
I was only able to pm enable/disable after going > adb shell > su, but it works. When I had it disabled I couldn't register the device with Amazon until I disabled it again. I'm working with Kindle Fire HD 6 Kids Edition Fire OS 5.2.2, HDXposed enabled, working GAPPS and rooted with Go Launcher EX launcher

I did the pm disable com.amazon.venezia and went into Applications > ALL and the App Store (Amazon) didn't show up at all. I enabled it and it's there again. Just wanted to share since I want to use the Amazon App Store and know now that I have this option. I also disabled com.amazon.otaverifier and can use the App Store no problem. Thank you!
I'm running fire HD6 devpreview 5.2.0 +root
Disabled ota verifier
Renamed DevicesoftwareOTA.ask
Automatic update is disabled in Amazon app store.
Still they managed to send and install Washington post app in my device. it was not there earlier.
I'm doubt about how to prevent Amazon altering my device.

Changes you made for ota verifier and DevicesoftwareOTA prevent Amazon from forcing an updated OS onto device, which would "break" root. Assuming you're still rooted, this didn't happen and you're seeing the Wash post that got installed when you installed/upgraded Lollipop. You can uninstall it and it will stay gone. If you did get updated, you didn't block OTA before turning on wifi and Amazon installed 5.2.2--build date July 2015 in Device settings--and you're no longer rooted. Better check!
build date is june 13, 2015.
still i have root access.
however i did uninstall it again. let me check if it may get installed again or not.
thanks a lot
Updated for 5.2.2u2, which I'm calling OS 5.0.1, September 2015 release.
Is there anyway to disable the lockscreen itself? I want to use the lockscreen from smart launcher 3 but I need to first disable the system lockscreen first for it to work properly.

Please relax!!!
Look at the bottom of the post for instructions on running the commands. You need to be in su. You're rooted, right?
adb shell
su
pm disable com.amazon.firelauncher
If not rooted, try: adb shell pm hide com.amazon.firelauncher
Not working!
I did what you said to do, dolooper, but the launcher isnt disabled. Am I still doing something wrong, I really want to disable the terrible fire launcher.

Press the Home key, choose Nova and tap Always. Reboot.
But it doesn't show the option to choose it as default!!

Tap Nova in firelauncher app drawer to go to Nova. Now tap home key. If it takes you back to firelauncher, idk the problem because idk what you did. How about you post whether you're rooted or not, the exact commands you entered, and what the output was.
Dolooper, I don't have root
The command that I entered was pm hide com.amazon.firelauncher.
adb shell pm hide com.amazon.firelauncher
I feel stupid asking this so please forgive my ignorance but I searched around and could find the answer.
Can someone please tell me the command to check the status of a service?
For example, I'd like to be able to check and see if a command I ran like one of the ones above, worked or not. Or to check on a different service. I'd like to be able to run a command that shows a list of services and their status or a single service and check its status.
Would it be something like pm status [process name]?
I've recently been digging in to what is causing launchers from being disabled and wanted to share my findings.
The culprit here is
Code:
/system/priv-app/com.amazon.tv.settings.apk
The service name is
Code:
com.amazon.tv.settings.tv.AppDisableService
There are currently two blacklisted apps in the 5.0.5.1 release:
Code:
com.altusapps.firedtvlauncher
de.belu.firestarter
If you are on 5.0.5.1, you can poke around the system partition by running on your computer:
Code:
adb pull /system
Looks like we have a cat-and-mouse game on our hands...

I was thinking the same thing. I don't have the update so I can't test. But can't we do:
Code:
pm hide com.amazon.tv.settings.tv.AppDisableService
without root, and
Code:
pm disable com.amazon.tv.settings.tv.AppDisableService
with?
wouldn't hurt to try, would it?

Unfortunately the 'pm hide' command doesn't work to disable the service because it's for packages only, so non-rooted owners are out of luck. And yes, I did actually try it anyway. I expect the 'pm disable' command will work with root because it differentiates between packages and components.
Also, it doesn't look like they're doing anything special when disabling the two apps, so once we have a pre-rooted ROM, all we'll have to do is:
Code:
adb shell
su
pm disable com.amazon.tv.settings.tv.AppDisableService
pm enable com.altusapps.firedtvlauncher
pm enable de.belu.firestarter

It *IS* a cat and mouse game... but really all that has to happen is the authors of those programs just need to change the name of the package.
I was close. The command to disable the blacklist service is:
Code:
pm disable com.amazon.tv.settings/com.amazon.tv.settings.tv.AppDisableService
It survives a reboot. Here is my detailed guide for those who need it.
I've been playing with this on an unrooted box and found that I can crash the AppDisableService by sending an intent, followed by a force-stop of com.amazon.tv.settings:
Code:
am broadcast -a android.content.action.PERMISSION_RESPONSE_RECEIVED
am force-stop com.amazon.tv.settings
This *seems* to stop the AppDisableService since it never spins back up (since it never receives the BOOT_COMPLETED after it crashes), but this still leaves us with the problem of packages being disabled at boot and no way to enable them.
So, this led me to the idea that you could uninstall the apk and preserve the files, then simply reinstall it after the crash.
I tried to uninstall FireStarter and preserve data:
Code:
pm uninstall -k de.belu.firestarter
but on reinstall, it's still disabled (I'm guessing it preserves the disabled state with -k).
So I guess that's sort-of progress...

I wonder what would happen if a device reset was done and your tweak were done?

Unfortunately a device reset would restart the AppDisableService. Causing the crash only stops it after you initiate the crash (meaning it would start up on next reboot). That's the problem with this approach...
My thought was to run a process to uninstall the disabled app(s), have a copy of the APK on the filesystem to re-install, and write an app that would initiate the crash and reinstall the apk on BOOT_COMPLETED. This approach is only good for keeping the app during a booted session, it would have to be re-run if the device was rebooted, and all app settings would be lost when the uninstall occurred.
Without initiating the crash, it appears they run an alarm task that essentially does a check every so often to disable any newly installed apps.
So it looks like they do the check on boot, then again at scheduled intervals. Initiating the crash causes the scheduled interval checks to not run, but a reboot means the app becomes disabled.
how about rename the app??? sorry if too stupid...

Renaming the app works, but requires the source to be recompiled. Not easily done on device.

I ordered the phone from Banggood and plan to use it as a media/gaming device. But I hate LeEco bloatware. My mom's Le 2 is full of it and it's really hampering performance.
Anyway, I figure I can remove all the LeEco apps and services using this simple ADB command:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of package> Do not use this command unless you know exactly which apps to uninstall. If you uninstall certain apps, other apps may stop working. Use pm disable instead, and pm enable to enable apps if something stops working.
Or simply disabling them with the other command (pm disable (package name)).
My question is, does this work on the Le Pro 3 or has Le prevented users from doing so completely? I don't want to root to do this (and then unroot afterwards because I need SafetyNet) because too many people seem to be having issues unlocking the bootloader and rooting here. Don't want to take any chances. I plan on staying on Banggood's vendor ROM forever because, as I said, this is just gonna be a gaming device.
Is it safe to do this, or will LeEco/Banggood ROM throw some idiotic error my way and cause my phone to stop working the moment I reboot it. And has anyone debloated their phone using ADB alone?
Thanks!
Okay, so I tried the "pm uninstall" command with my mom's Le 2 and managed to uninstall A LOT of LeTV bloatware. Still shows up in App management though, but as 0 bytes and as "Not installed for this user". Good riddance. Hopefully I'll be able to do the same with my phone. Then again, the ROMs are different despite being the same version (5.8), since one is Indian and the other will be a Chinese vendor ROM.
Could you help with the procedure?
I have a 727 and also want to stay with a stock rom but want to disable all the Leco TV stuff, care to give any pointers?
Thanks.

Basically, just enable USB Debugging and download platform-tools package from somewhere. It's the simple version of the Android SDK. Then connect your phone, enable "trust this computer" on your phone (you'll get a pop-up), then use the Windows or Linux command prompt to enter into the platform-tools directory and start disabling or "uninstalling" apps. List all your packages first using pm list packages
Now, I'm not sure the apps are completely uninstalled using the pm uninstall command. I would not recommend uninstalling apps unless you're sure that the system doesn't rely on them. For example, I idiotically uninstalled some LeTV apps that Facebook, Gmail, and the Google app require on my mom's Le 2 and now she's pissed off at me because none of those apps work. :laugh: I hope they can be restored using pm restore or I'll have to factory reset the phone.
Only use the pm disable command.
The apps will be disabled even after reboot, so no worries. Just make sure you don't update the phone if you ever mysteriously receive an update.
Okay, so using the pm uninstall command? Bad move. Very, very bad move. It turns out that all apps that use Google services on my mom's phone were affected. They all just stopped responding. Eventually Google Account Management itself stopped working, along with the Play Store. Kept getting the "There's a problem with Google servers, try again later" with all Google apps. No amount of data clearing or APK installing worked. I had to backup and factory reset her phone, which was no easy feat without Google Drive (looking at you, Whatsapp) and thank god, all the uninstalled apps came back. Thought I'd borked the system partition for good.
So yeah, never do what I did. ALWAYS USE THE PM DISABLE COMMAND. LeTV bloatware is tied into Google services, unlike other phones. Let this be a lesson to all.
Funnily enough, I use the pm uninstall command freely on my Moto X without issue. Then again, I'm running stock with no Le bloat, just Google bloat.
Could you list the apps that are safe to disable then?
Much appreciated.

Could you tell me what the -d parameter does?
On my phone when i type it at the end of "pm list packages " command it will list only one package ( some google notifier or such).
But when I do " pm list packages " it does list them all .
Also how do you use "pm disable " ( you have to type "pm disable package:sina.mobiletianqitongletv " for example , and repeat for all the packages that you want to remove ? ) or there is a easier way ?
I understand that you should disable all the "com.letv.xxxxxx " packages but how about these:
package:com.android.mms
package:com.android.browser
package:com.android.music
Should I disable these too? It seems not right , I need to use mms, browser, music etc..
adb shell pm disable (insert package name like com.letv.example). Don't disable anything the spyware list (link in my second response) doesn't list.
Unfortunately I get an error when I type this command : "1|[email protected]_zl1:/ $ pm disable com.letv.android.zxing
Error: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: attempt to change component state from pid=18860, uid=2000, package uid=10087 "
What I'm doing wrong ?
Doesn't work even with --user 0 parameter " 1|[email protected]_zl1:/ $ pm disable --user 0 com.letv.android.FuseWire
Error: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: attempt to change component state from pid=22489, uid=2000, package uid=1000

Do I have to root the phone?
Looks like the disable command doesn't work, I tried uninstall ant that works.
The proper syntax is : pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.letv.example

You should never use the uninstall command unless you're prepared to factory reset your phone if you accidentally uninstall a core service.
I'm surprised that pm disable doesn't work, since it worked for everyone in that LeEco spyware thread. Maybe the new models are different because they're running ROMs that prevent it, which sucks.
I dont know how to disable them, for me the disable command allways errors out.

I was only uninstalling LeTV apps, but on an Le2, so the apps were different. And I must have accidentally disabled a package that managed Google services because all Google apps stopped working and I had to reset the phone. Anyway, it's good to know that the pm disable command doesn't work... which is surprising. I hope it'll work on mine when I receive it. I guess I'm ok with uninstalling the apps, the only problem being that issues may pop up down the road and if something goes wrong I'll have to factory reset the phone.
I uninstalled all the packages on the list that I posted before, will report how it goes.
One thing annoys me though, the LeView screen when you swipe right is still there, how do I disable this thing?
Here's a list of the remaining packages that I found on my phone with the Letv in the name:
Code:

Um, leave all that stuff. Especially com.letv.android.ecoProvider, which will break everything if you uninstall it.
My mom's Le2 lets me disable and enable apps and uninstall them, so it's weird that other LeEco phones don't allow that. I guess it's due to official versus vendor ROMs. My mom's phone has the official Indian Le2 ROM from Flipkart. The thread I linked (https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...co-spyware-t3503389/post69712213#post69712213) asks users to use the pm disable command, so it's supposed to work. But I guess the x727's Chinese/vendor ROM (I assume you're not running a custom ROM) prevents disabling apps. I had the same issue with my ASUS Zenfone 3 where I couldn't disable anything via ADB due to the same error message you got. Really lame
One thing annoys me though, the LeView screen when you swipe right is still there, how do I disable this thing?

IDK what that is. I'll have to check my mom's phone again. Just look for the package name using pm list packages. You're bound to find something.
So far so good, I don't see any problems after uninstaling these apps.
Google apps are working, camera works as before, apps like Viber or Skype also OK.
Let me know if you want to try anything specific.

Uninstalling LeEcoProvider didn't bork anything for you? Huh. I'll have to do some testing with my phone when it comes in a few weeks to see how much crap I can remove and get away with.
Edit: solved
I rooted and wiped the phone. Installed Lineage and PicoGapps and the LTE fix. Perfection. Highly recommend this delight of a phone. ?
Original post for reference:
Sorry if this has been answered but I'm using the XDA app traveling and can't seem to find it. I purchased the $50 Moto e4 boost version from Best buy and no matter what I do, I can't seem to permanently disable amazon apps.
I disable them and when I restart the device, low and behold they are back again. Is there a way to disable these apps permanently through ADB or some other jazz? Or should I just root?

Yeah, ya gotta root and delete them from the oem partition if you want them completely gone. But you should be able to disable them with adb without root.
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 "package name"
Without quotes and where package name is the actual package name.
Usually disabling them in settings/apps (show system) will disable them until you re enable them yourself.
Strangely I disable them and they re enable themselves upon boot up. Not sure why. Usually most phones you disable apps and they stay disabled. Clearly something is installed by boost that makes them reenable.
Thanks, I will try ADB.

Sorry for the Ninja double reply.
I have managed to disable via your method several apps except for three: boost zone, boost Mobile I'd and mobile installer. These are the apps causing the phone upon restart to redownload bloatware and enable disabled bloatware. When I try disabling them via adb, it simply says failure. Do disabling these require root?

Probably. It's mobile ID that changes the home screens around. It usually doesn't install anything except for home screen shortcuts. I wasnt able to disable that one without root. try using a different launcher ( I use nova). Zone let's you check for prl and profile updates, and I pay my bill in it (virgin mobile).
Update:
I followed a guide online and unlocked the boot, installed twrp and rooted the phone. Removed boosts pre installed Android version because no matter what tool I used I couldn't delete their apps. So I installed lineageOS. Having issues with 4G and can only get 3g.

Yeah that's a well documented problem on CDMA carriers. A few ppl are working on it. There is a sort of fix if you check the guides, news section.

Thank you. This is an annoying issue because I pay for 4g and hotspot support and unfortunately the hotspot only gets dialup speeds.

We all do dude.(pay for lte) But LTE is fairly broken on sprint and all it's mvno's (boost, virgin, etc.)on custom roms. You can try the fix but no guarantees. Only sure way is stock. I've debloated stock, and using Xposed with gravitybox. All the customization I need. And everything works. All bloat can be removed. Most of it is /oem, that's why root apps don't get rid of it. Some things in /system are required to keep it running.
Root the device, backup the apps with Titanium Backup, Freeze the apps and see if there are any behavioral issues with them, and remove them if freezing them doesn't yield error.
As for the Data issues you are experiencing, check out this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e4/how-to/perry-real-lte-fix-custom-roms-t3752036
I plan on testing this with the rom you have on Boost Mobile as soon as it's done downloading.
Hey everyone, I figured I would post a thread sharing an article about how to debloat the verizon
edition of the phone, getting rid of all the annoying apps that are unnecessary. This doesn't
remove them from the phone permanently, just for the current "user". So no matter what,
a factory reset will bring everything back since we're not rooted, and not uninstalling from
the system.
From a fresh factory reset, I set up my fingerprint on the phone, and did this right away after adding
my google account. I also uninstalled any app from the phone itself (settings, apps) that gave me the
option, such as candy crush, since those stay away..
Here's the XDA article about what we're doing today, and the original source for the method used.
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
Basic run down:
1) Enable Developer Options In Settings
2) Turn On USB Debugging
3) Install Application Inspector
4) Use ADB Within Command Prompt To Disable Packages. First typing
"adb shell", then "pm uninstall -k --user 0 XXXXXXXXXXXXX", where you replace
the XXXXXXXXXXXX with the package name of the app you're wanting
to not have anymore.
***(in step 4, we're typing the commands WITHOUT the quotes)***

i threw this together real quick before work, will be adding pictures and such when i get home
Thanks man, I started a similar thread but it's nowhere near as neat and concise as yours..
Hey I heard somewhere a long time ago that WiFi calling wouldn't work without the My Verizon App. A level 1 tech told me the other day it had nothing to do with it. Mine is disabled (started to say frozen) and my phone hasn't been using it. I'm in a weak signal area and need it. I got disc. when transferred to a tier 2 tech.
Is that something you use? It's called HD Voice and Video in settings.
Hi, guys, is this debloat guide OTA updatable? Will it block OTA from Verizon?

The guide works with the OTA, no issues, except one package that breaks the update history, "com.motorola.vzw.phone.extensions", so, don't disable that one
