Warning up front: You can mess up your phone if you uninstall something that is needed for normal operation. Please do some research before you make any changes to your phone.
With Nougat out we can use ADB Shell on the XA Ultra to uninstall some unwanted system apps. In my case I don't really use the Sony stuff so I've uninstalled most of it. On a couple of apps that I do want installed but I don't want them running in the background I've used appops to prevent them from running in the background. I feel like my battery life has doubled since I did this. The amount of available memory has certainly increased.
I'm not making a full guide here since there are many out there already but here is the gist:
Put your phone in developer mode (tap on build number 7 times) and then enable USB debugging. Connect your phone to your computer with USB cable.
Use ADB on your computer to open a shell from the windows command prompt: ADB Shell. Tutorial on installing ADB here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266638
Within the shell you can list packages to see what you might want to uninstall with this command:
pm list packages -d
You'll get a long list of all the packages on your phone. I copied that list out of the shell into an editor and then added the uninstall commands below to certain ones to uninstall them. Here's what I've uninstalled with no ill effect (formatted for easy cut and paste):
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.system
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sony.tvsideview.videoph
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonyericsson.textinput.chinese
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonyericsson.warrantytime
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.enterprise.service
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.gettoknowit
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.moviecreator

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.music.youtubeplugin
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonyericsson.trackid.res.overlay_305
For apps that I want to keep installed but I don't want them running in the background I used this format: "cmd appops set {package name] RUN_IN_BACKGROUND ignore"
For example:
cmd appops set net.zedge.android RUN_IN_BACKGROUND ignore
That was for Zedge. I still have Zedge installed on the phone in case I want to get some incredibly annoying ringtone to use during the third hour of our weekly hour long project review. I just don't want Zedge doing things on my phone when I'm not looking at it.
In developer options on your phone there's a running services section that is good to check for things that might need to be ignored using the above command. You can try killing something that is running here first to see if it messes with things you might want (like hangouts - I need mine running in the background).
I'm sure there were more packages I could have uninstalled but I was looking for mild gain with minimal risk.
I did this to the Xperia XA Ultra F3213 but I'm pretty sure it will be very similar on other models.
@grogzero
thanks for the useful tips bro .. :good: ..
i was jus doing this method to stop background running apps from this thread https://www.xda-developers.com/freeze-app-background-processes-without-root-android-nougat/ ..
now as per your thread i was jus following to uninstall the system apps . but aft running the command i get only few apps
just remove the '' - d " from the commandline " pm list packages - d"
nothing will be lost if you try
Thanks for this thread bro. Did it. Now deleted all the unwanted system apps. Now phone is light and battery is good I guess. Also disabled few apps using this link https://www.xda-developers.com/freeze-app-background-processes-without-root-android-nougat/..
it will not go. it will simply disable from the user.. try factory reset it will comeback.
root your nougat bro
image enhancements are not much great on our xa ultra, we can manually make it look like over saturated by changing white balance...
i dont know about any working drm fix
and i dont care at allabout stupid drms
thank you for being genius dude.. you are the man!
i will try this on my F3216 tonight & hope there's less needed my XAU to be rooted!
thanks again!
edit:
mine are stuck on removing spotify. is it necessary to clear data first before execute?
The problem is this methods doesn't wipe the apps leftover..
i can't instal another version of spotify
some help please?
So, everyone remembers the VZW Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (i605)? I have one I got second hand that had already taken the fatal-final-OTA update that permalocked the bootloader down.. however, I have still rooted and installed Safestrap recovery and damn-near fully customised and tweaked it to my liking(custom boot animation, room slots active, etc)..Well, what about a possible Safestrap-style recovery that could run without root permissions by running some sort of workaround-script?....or would root access still be inevitably needed? Perhaps have the Safestrap recovery create a fully-functioning isolated with admin privileges, something similar to the Island Sandbox Experiment app?
I don't think it would be possible, bootloader's have become super secure in the past 4 years.
Sent from my Moto E4 using XDA Labs
What about possibly using ADB to manually install a superuser APK file and also using ADB commands like 'pm grant ....... WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS' to manually enable the permissions and privileges required for installing an SU binary?
That's a good idea if it works. I was able to remove all the Verizon apps from the phone using adb commands.

You completely removed the Verizon apps and not just disabled them?
What adb commands did you use please?
Thanks.

I believe that this procedure actually only disables the apps, although it appears that they are uninstalled. It is my understanding that a factory reset will re-enable/re-install all the apps. Read about half-way down this page.

Hey guys!
I am looking to debloat the ATT and Samsung apps on my Galaxy S7 edge. I'm not necessairly looking to root. I just want to be free of all these useless apps I do not use. Is there anyone who has made this already that can be flashed using Odin? Thanks for helping a girl out, if you can!
Successfull debloat without root and additional apps
Hiya, SoYaThink,
The thread is a bit old, but still hope this will help somebody:
I soft bricked my phone about 10 times trying different ways to root it.
Blew up the warranty bit as well (no biggie for me, since I don't intend to use Samsung Pay and Knox)
Finally stumbled upon a brilliant solution (apologies for not being able to give proper credits, lost the link)
What you need is ADB tools, a nice USB cable and your fone!
(I used ADB fastboot)
I also installed an app called "Package inspector" in order to be able to verify the package names, so I did not risk to remove something wrong. Any app that lists your system packages and does not require root should do.
Before the long novel, I'd like to say that if you need more info or help give me a shout and I'll try to help.
I'm no expert, but I went through some fun and boot loops with my phone, so I seem to do ok for someone that has no clue
FIRST and foremost! Few words of caution.
Do not unistall anything that you are even slightly unsure about.
Yes, you can brick your phone by using the below method if you are not careful!
Therefore, I do not recommend using ready-made scripts, unless you read thoroughly and understand very well what they actually will remove. (I did brick my phone using a script, and I thought I was sure what was going on...)
Fully manual, line-by-line may seem tedious and time consuming, but it's mild compared to what an un-bricking will take (if it is even possible to un-brick...)
So, if you are unsure about a package, research WWW and make sure it will not affect your phone in negative way.
My phone specs after un-bricking:
Samsung s7 Edge
SM-G935F (EUR/UK)
Android 8.0.0 Oreo (hero2lte)
So here it goes:
- Download and install /or unzip/ ADB tools in a dir of your choice
- Enable Developer Options on your phone
(How: Settings -> About Phone -> Software Informations -> Tap on Build Number 7 times)
Now you should see Developer Options at the bottom of your Settings
- In the Developer options menu, enable USB debugging.
- Connect Your phone to computer with USB.
You should see a prompt on yur phone about the RSA key. Klick OK. If you want, you can also check "Always allow from this computer" - will save you more clicking on prompts further on.
- On the computer, start CMD (command prompt) in the same directory as adb.exe (Right click in the folder and choose "Open command window here")
- To test whether ADB is working properly, in CMD, type
adb devices
You should see a line "List of devices attached" and under it a device alphanumeric code.
If this doesn't work for you, you might need to install drivers for your phone.
Now the fun part begins.
- On your phone, check the name of the app package that you want to remove, for example Instagram.
- Open adb shell by typing in CMD
adb shell
- Execute the command (WITHOUT the curly brackets quotes) to find specific package names:
pm list packages | grep '{part or whole package name}'
for Instagram, the command would be
pm list packages | grep 'instagram'
Note: packages may or may not contain a key word derived from the app name, and
Some apps have more that one package that need to be removed.
Hence why you could use a package listing app
You could remove it when you're debloated.
- To uninstal a specific package, in adb execute the following command:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 {name of package}
For Instagram, that would be:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.instagram.android
Voila! One bloatware gone!
Now go on and do the same for all pesky bloats that you want gone.
Here's (a very) cautious list of what I removed:
(Not a lot, but I'm happy with it:

Hi everyone. After a couple of days using the s20+ I was wondering is there any way to debloat some of the preinstalled apps i.e - Netflix, Spotify, Members, S health, Browser etc. I've tried with adb and it turns out that is working. I removed some of the apps that I don't want and all is good. Here are the steps that I did:
Enable the Usb debugging in developer options
Open cmd and navigate to the folder with the installed ADB
Once there start the service with the following command
adb devices
This will show you is your phone connected to the PC. If connecting for the first time please give permissons on the phone screen and put it in File Transfering mode
adb shell
pm list packages
This will show you all the packages installed on the phone. The list is very long but you can search for specific one for example packages from google
pm list package | grep 'google'
When you locate the package you want to debloat type pm uninstall -k --user 0 package-name where package-name is your desired package as shown below.
I have uninstalled the following and consider them as safe to uninstall.
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.netflix.mediaclient - netflix
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.netflix.partner.activation - netflix
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.sree - Samsung global goals
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.voc - Samsung members
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.microsoft.office.outlook - Outlook
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sec.android.app.sbrowser - samsung browser
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager - Samsung Wear
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sec.android.app.shealth - S Health
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.microsoft.skydrive - Onedrive
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.microsoft.appmanager - Your companion
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.spotify.music - spotify
If you have trouble identifying the package name, simply go to Google Play Store on your browser and search for the app. Check the URL for the package name. It will be shown at end of the URL.
Please feel free to add packages that you locate and are SAFE to be uninstalled
Cheers

I would suggest to use "adb shell pm disable-user --user 0" instead of uninstall, in case of ROM update.

This method of uninstalling the apps won't affect if there is ROM update due to the fact that we are uninstalling only for the current user not the system. Without root this is the only way. Disableing the apps is possible for most of them via the phone itself. Here I am providing a way that is different of disable Cheers

you have to specify the package name of the application youre using
example, on google chrome, its com.android.chrome, not com.sec.android.app.chrome(afaik .sec is related to samsung apps)
though you can verify by finding it in app info or rummage through /[internal storage]/Android/data where it uses app's package names, or type pm list packages in adb shell
you can follow the tutorial from xda themselves here: https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
though alternatively, you can use debloat scripts to automate the process, but it requires flashing twrp which will trip knox if youre on stock(though most debloat scripts removes knox stuff aswell so idk), and you dont require root for it to work
