like i said, those apps are useless to me because they require root. (i usedTitanium Backup pro for my other devices in the past though). I need a non-root solution.
Adhell 2 works great for disabling packages

Try this, its more developed that just package disabler.
But careful with the use of it.

There was an app that was developed for the S6 that allowed you to disable apps. I am trying to find the link but I wonder if it will work with the S7.
I found the link. I wonder if this will work on the S7. I might try it out.
you might try change your playstore modell to a s6
Package disabler pro in the store, and and yes it works

This works well and it's free... V3.90 Debloater
Can someone smarter than me say if using something like Package Disabler is better/more efficient than just manually disabling or making inactive via developer options? Does it do something extra?
I don't mind extra keystrokes, just want the most effective way to disable apps since root will never be in our S7 E VZW futures...

Hello, i just got my International Galaxy S7 edge (using it on AT&T) and wondering the point of Galaxy Apps store?
Is there any built in apps that I can ONLY get updates through the galaxy app store? I see some apps like Samsung browser and S health are available through the play store to get updates.
Will i miss out on any updates for apps by disabling the Galaxy App store?
A lot of Samsung apps update through the Galaxy App Store.

Disabling it also kills access to Edge Panel downloads. Took me a few minutes to realise after I had disabled it, why nothing was happening when I tapped 'Download' from the Edge Panel settings.
+Edge Feed, +Camera modes, basically most things Samsung hardware specific will be supported via Galaxy Apps.
I don't feel there's a big need to disable it, it doesn't seem to suck power when not in use, at least with all push and auto-update disabled.
can someone kindly guide how to disable this without rooting

A lot of apps for unrooted Samsung devices: Package Disabler Pro (Samsung), EZ Package Disabler (Samsung) , Package Disabler for Samsung and many others but you have to pay for it about a dollar or two. EZ Package Disabler is my favorite

There's an app called Debloater which is developed by XDA senior member @gatesjunior. It's a Windows OS based application so follow the link and follow the instructions. But be sure to enable any app disabled before updating your device both Play Store package enablers too
You have to ask yourself why you would disable anything that may come in useful at some stage?
You have a hugely powerful processor, a lot of RAM and decent storage plus Android is perfectly capable of handling tasks.
You will gain very little by doing so as has been demonstrated.
I used EZ Package Disabler on my note7 and it was easy and fast. Are there any such apps for the V20? There are some built in apps that I can't uninstall or even disable.
Lets hope so but I haven't found one yet
There is barely bloat on the phone and it is very fast and snappy. You guys are Samsung traumatized. IMO no need for package disabler.

You can try. I think both are for Samsungs.
I agree with some of the others. I've disabled apps that duplicate those I prefer... Google Messenger and Calendar as compared to the LG counterparts. But there's not nearly the bloat on this phone that Samsung packed into theirs, and the phone seems to run just fine. There's not the lag that my Note 7 had.

Package Disabler Pro was made for Samsung phones only. Not sure about ez disabler.

Definitely way less bloat than Samsung phones. But it has bloat, that I'd never use, nonetheless. Including a bunch from T-Mobile and several from LG. Some people just love min/maxing, just personal preference.
I agree also. You can disable several apps in settings and its very responsive.

I could stand to ditch the T-Mobile apps. They're a battery drain I do not need.

You can't disable them via the application manager? I know the T-mobile one wouldn't work via Samsung but I think I read somewhere that you don't have an issue on the LG. I haven't got a solid answer yet though.
I think all you need to do with that one is deny the permission then restart the phone. If you log in and accept the permission then it runs. I don't ever remember it in ram unless I specifically logged in and used it. Maybe it does use ram but not enough to notice it on the list

But, things that have worked with V10 have worked with V20. Did you even try it?
This debloater has worked with every phone I've tried it with (G4, V10, S7E, Note 5) so give it a shot before commenting.

I tried the Debloater program. I used to use it on my samsung before I found out about EZ Package Disabler. However on the V20 it only found 1 package. I guess its not working properly

great program, but unfortunately it only sees one app, the LGupdate Wizard. I gotta find a way to remove the TMOBILE apps.
S8 is the first phone im considering not rooting since i didnt see much use for it on my S6 except for the adblock app. Is there one that works well without root? One that will work in chrome and youtube?
Edit: Is ad block possible without a vpn app?
Try to use AdGuard - https://adguard.com/en/welcome.html
I use this app on my S7 without root and it's working very well.
That's a windows page, is there a link to an Android apk?

Adguard is a vpn. I was wondering if there is a ad block without root that's not a vpn service. It could affect speed and battery life.
Someone mentioned "Disconnect Pro" on another thread. Apparently it has exclusive access to knox and therefore doesn't require vpn or anything...

Thanks but at $33 it's too expensive. There's another app call adhell that's open sourced and free. Used the same Knox method. Just installed it and seems to be working.

Try DNS66 you can get it on F-Droid. https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=dns66&fdid=org.jak_linux.dns66
Adhell is very good and free!

I use AdBlock. Google it. It works great on my S7 and my tablet. It uses a vpn but does not compromise speed or battery life.

Pi-Hole
If you surf the web primarily at home, something many might not have considered is PiHole. Buy a Raspberry Pi, slap PiHole on it (takes about 1 minute to setup) and set your Wifi Router's DNS to be the Raspberry PI and BAM! You've now blocked all ads for not just your phone, but also your buddy's or anyone else who uses your Wifi network. It really is amazing and I've donated.
Disconnect pro. It was free a while ago in the galaxy app store. Works really well. Not ads in chrome but more important....no vpn icon or notification. Everything runs in the background just like adblock. I tried adhell but it doesnt remove the space from where the ad were. DP does....

Doesn't AdBlock only work on WiFi without root?
I just installed adhell on my S7E. So far I am impressed. Will use on the S8+ when I get it on friday. If Disconnect pro is that much better than Adhell, it would be worth the 25 to 30 bucks for me though. The worst part of not having root since my N7 and now S7E is not having full adblock. VPN adblock is just too cumbersome for my tastes. I will look into Disconnect pro also. Adhell is not blocking on youtube (I don't use youtube that much on my phone anyway), but so far everything else it is working.

I use adguard since note 4
Adguard. Been using it since the Note 4. Have a lifetime license. They have sales every now and then where it costs about 2 years' annual fees (or less). Totally worth it. App is constantly updated and safe to use.
I use the DNS66 route. You get stuck with a permanent notification, but worth it IMHO.
I use Blokada. It works, it doesn't add any noticable battery drain, and it is easy to use.

This is not true, you can hide the notification icons.
Does these apps block in-game ads too?
I use netguard and uploaded moab host file to it. Works perfect for me and I can prevent apps from going out to the internet.

Most apps, including YouTube, have built in ad serving code. You will have to be rooted or use a VPN to usually block those type of ads. However, you can block YouTube ads if you view YouTube through your browser and not through the YouTube app.
