Samsung 5 disabled apps

Hello people,
What apps do you disabled as they are not needed or just bloatware?
Thanks

Don't mean to sound ignorant, but there is a great search function here at the xda...

No worries about sounding ignorant, I know the search but the results are to old 2011 /2012 so I was looking for some more up to date advice instead of still looking out dated search results.

Disable My Magazine app. :good:

You can have a look at the Aroma add-on package zip that I offer with my ROM... (See my signature, you can find the bloatware aroma package at post #2 of that thread)
This contains all the bloatware that you can disable.
Just open the zip on your PC, and go to the Add-on folder to see which apk belongs to which function.

If you look at the second post for this Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2732110 it gives you the bloatware that you can install back on to the phone once installed. That is probably the best starting point.

How to disable My Magazins

I want to execute some other task when I swipe from bottom on home screen.
Basically from new tssker.
But always my magazines pops up when I do this. I have cleared data and cache of this app but no success.

Sorry can't buy PRO version of TB.

Try other Launchers or install "Uninstaller or Debloater" apps. Make sure to back up the deleted app in case of something.

search for "pull up from fake jap" - this was included in my ROM X-Note and works perfectly, you might find a standalone version
do not freeze/uninstall mymag, otherwise the stock sms and e-mail apps will force close from time to time
hope i could help

There is another utility at the playstore called "Root Uninstaller" which
has options to freeze apps too, this is the free version:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rootuninstaller.free
Good luck!

I download this awhile ago and I recently flashed it using mobile odin on latest tw rom nf4 and it still works.
It removes the swipe up action.

Oh I wish I've read more before deleting MyMagazine... after rooting with CF & Odin 3.09.
I was unable to restore it using SuperSU, so I tried to copy MagazineHome.apk & .odex to /system/app , but it didn't help. I tried to launch the MagazineHome.apk and install it, but it couldn't install. (i found those filez under the Verizon Note 3 threads... maybe this caused it ? )
or even worse... is Knox causing this?
I'd love to get my Stock email working again without crashing everytime when new mail is coming.
Help anyone?

You need to give permission to magazine.apk and reboot

There is a 'pullup' application made by fakejap. Guess it has been later integrated into official TouchWiz itself by Samsung.

How can I remove carrier installed apps on S8 - Rogers Canada

Hello
I want to uninstall and remove and spotify app which came pre-installed with the phone. I am using S8 on Rogers network in Canada. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Have you tried disabling the apps you don't need? If you haven't, then long press on the shortcut and pick "app info". There you will find disable button(if not grayed out). That is the easiest way off turning off the app which won't show in your apps anymore, but it won't uninstall it.

Thanks for the tip.
However, I have my own apk and wouldn't install saying the system already have file with same name. I can disable but it will not solve my problem. Any work around or ways to remove the preinstalled spotify files?

I have not tried it personally, but check this tread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294 There could also be other methods/apps that would help.

Try clearing app data than uninstall updates, this can be found in settings/apps.

Unfortunately, there is no app data visible/available for spotify so, cannot delete anything. Also how can you uninstall updates?

Go to apps then click Spotify then click storage then clear data and cache.
If you want to remove the pre installed version you need to be rooted to remove system apps.
The all you have will be the same as the one pre installed. You can always download an updated version.

Still, it doesn't work. I have my own spotify apk which conflicts with the pre-installed one because of same name.

Not if its a hacked version of Spotify.
I see no reason why someone would disable the included Spotify app to load "their own version"
The included app can be updated right from the google play store, so there is no reason someone should be uninstalling it to install a .apk version.
I am on a Rogers S8, so I know this is true.

Change your csc to xac https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71525525&postcount=1413 this will wipe your phone but get rid of all rogers bloat.

Thanks for the link to the forum post.
But the problem is - after doing this, the phone restarts and erase everything again and installs all the carrier apps. Is there anyway this can be stopped?
Thanks a lot.

Pull your sim card out and change it to xac.

Will it be different or remain the same when I put the sim back in? My experience is the sim erases everything and install all the carrier apps again.

Check out this XDA article. It details instructions to remove apps/packages without root, using ADB. Be super careful doing this or using a package disabler app Like BK Package Disabler or Adhell (which is free)...if you disable the wrong system package you may end up disabling important functions/features.
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/

What you can do is only disable it. That's what I'm doing with texture also and zone. Don't flash XAC if you are still a Rogers user you will loose wificall and Volte.
Only time you can remove it completely is to root. (Not available)
Or flash the XAC but modify the feature file in XAC to add the lines to enable wifi call and Volte. And again not possible cause there is no root yet.
So it takes you back to the 1rst and only option and don't try any even when they claim it uninstall without root(it does not work with Samsung phones )
Just disable it "I think you know how hold the app icon and you see a popup to disable"
If you rebooted the phone , app will not show to show it back enable it again .
When any app is disabled you can't download the app it will tell you it's available unless if it's a higher version.
So if for some reason you want to have a clone " exemple disable original Spotify to download a cracked ) use apk unpacker and change the signature name on the cracked apk.

How can I Debloat the "Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2016)" (SM-T580) w/ Android 7?

Hi there!
There seem to be some debloated ROMs, but I would like to stay on the stock rom if possible.
As I used this software with my Samsung S5, I've tried "gatesjunior"s Debloater, but that doesn't work (it doesn't display the warning message, only finds 2 apps and thinks this tablet is rooted; which it's not).
Is there any other easy way to disable all the unneeded crap? Non-root would be perfect
Thanks in advance!

Look in Playstore for BK Package Manager. This is no root.
Maybe that's something for you.

Ok, so not via PC software and USB debugging, but via android app? If that works, ok.
But there is no other Debloater for Windows floating around? Sad ;-(

Have you looked into Pakage Disabler on the Play Store? I use it on all my devices.

not yet, but I'll gonna have a look at those found in the app store; thanks!!

Hm, could it be that Pakage Disabler is no longer available?
GPlay says not found...
OK, so, I just searched "more generally" and found another "Package Disabler Pro", but this time with "+": https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pdp.singleplay
Hm, whatever...

Sorry for the incorrect spelling of "package" but it has changed to pro plus.
