I have S8, the battery sucks a lot. I tried with going ahead of disabling packages but I cannot find an appropriate app. BK package disabler is paid. I want an app non-paid.
I tried others but they require root or some PDP engine, which I installed from google play, but that does not activate the SDK or something. I don't understand what to do.
I would appreciate if someone could help me with this.
Thankyou
You could use Adhell (2), a bit complicated to install but free:

First off I am running lolipop and have been working to find a way to disable bloatware that you don't want. I can't root as I'm on a att s5 lolipop...
finally found out how to get those apps that can't be disabled disabled.
Instructions:
1. Find the app that your wanting to dissable... let's say for example My Magazine.
by default in lolipop this app can't be disabled without root... frown face.. bad day...
2.Search for an apk file online for that app you want to disable.
And install it.
3. Here's what happens now... since you just updated the system app yourself, you now have permissions over it.
So to disable the app go to app manager and look under downloaded. You will notice that now the app that previously could not be disabled... now can be. You also have the option to Uninstaller the update... update only unfortunately but oh well.
Now you have just succusfully disabled My Magazine or what ever other system app that can't be disabled.
If you need any help just ask.

Nice idea, but sometimes it may not work. Now i have no idea as to why My Magazine worked but when installing other system apps it is bound to meet a signature conflict if the apps are the same version and completely untouched by any third party. If a signature conflict appears it will be impossible to install that system app manually.
I have only seen this phenomenon on S2 and therefore i have no idea if the same principles are embedded in the S5 but just a tip if a signature conflict ever appears while trying this method.
Anyways, good find :good:
Thank u sir.
Yes oddly enough my magazine was my first attempt and didn't even check version and had success.. noW that I see this method is possible... I'll just have to find other versions of the apps I want to dissable. I haven't had any luck finding newer versions of the apk files tho
Any thing u think might work. Modifying the apk perhaps so it may possibly install as an update?
I'm just happy to have mymagazine no longer starting up and running in the background

If you modify an apk file you will need to create your own signature when recompiling, android won't like two of the same apps (same package names) but with two different signatures and the modified apk file wont be installed.
So try your method as long as it goes. who knows, maybe you wont encounter a signature conflict.
As long as the app is disabled a signature conflict shouldn't matter tho right? Because the app is disabled and all?
I'll keep a look out. The version my magazine I'm showing now is 3.0.0
In app manager I have orion to uninstal the update so if something does happen I'll remove it
You seem to know a good bit maybe you can help me with something.
Is there a way I could take
expample.apk version 1.0 and edit it somehow and trick it and or android into thinking it's say version 1.1
This would allow me to install the same version over what I have now.. then perhaps be able to disable it..

Must have root apps?
Greenify is worth a shot. And ES File Explorer has some nice functions for rooted devices.

SD Maid - is a Storage manager and gives you full control over every App on the System (Bootmanager, APK-exporter, System App uninstaller and freezer, App resetting, force close apps, rights manager and viewer).
It's a powerfull tool, handle whith care .
Titanium backup, if you deal with custom ROMs. Nandroid manager also a nice replacement.
Faster GPS - A one time setup that helps your GPS lock faster.
And +1 for AdAway. Helps with the enormously bugging sites that force ads on you. Just keep in mind that there are few (lame) apps that will not work after this is installed.
+1 for AdAway
also, instead of using their Host sources, you can use the consolidated hosts file from steven hosts
https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
the host files are categorised and they also contain list from adaway
so, you can block more type of ads and specific ads too (like social/porn)
Where would I find the +1 app. I've looked on F-Droid site and googled it. The search results aren't turning up anything in regards to this app. Thanks for any responses.

I know most of apps that disable apps are pretty much diacontinued and i can't install BK package disabler because it is not available in my country and when i download it from some website and install it it says that the app is not signed ( not downloaded from google play i guess )
So what do you guys suggest so i can disable apps without root?
Tyy
Look up uninstalling apps through ADB, and then use those commands to remove anything you want. I believe there is a tutorial on how to do it over at the S8 Guides and Tutorials page
Does anyone know what apk controls motion photos? I'm on the partcyborg rom and it was part of the debloat. I would really love to have it back. Thanks!

Thanks for trying to help me! First person in a year.
I'm trying to install the APK but i get the error "the package conflicts with an existing package by the same name"
Any idea why this is? I looked and it's not in sys apps or priv-apps, it doesn't show installed and service disabler can't find it.
Thanks again!
It's hard for me to say. I'm on stock unrooted but I just used Package Disabler Pro to disable Samsung's nonsense bloat ware. Maybe it's not letting you install it because it already exists but is just disabled. Mine says it's installed to: /system/app/ApexService/ApexService.apk
