Apps safe to disable using package disabler pro

As the title suggests, does anyone have a list of apps/services that are safe to disable using package disabler pro?

Please find mine attached. But I do not use couple of apps you might need.

Awesome thank you

Where can you get the disable pro package?

All these. Note: you need to have another Launcher installed before you disable TouchWiz home.

Removing system apps like WhatsApp?

Hey there
How do I completely remove system-bound apps like WhatsApp and Instagram? The only option I am given is to "turn off" the application.
I tried using Titanium Backup but it ended up doing more harm than good so I just updated (redownloaded) the apps from the Google PlayStore until someone can help me achieve that. Would removing the actual .com file from the root directory work? I remember doing that on my HTC to safely remove system apps. If so, where is the folder containing them located?
Thank you for your time.

I completely disabled all unwanted apps (also system apps) using Package Disabler Pro (Samsung), no root required.

Removing system apps, does that make the phone go crazy?

"System apps" means all the apps you can't uninstall using the app manager.
Many of them installed by Samsung are bloatware or completely useless, unused and then unwanted.
Those apps can be safely disabled (not uninstalled), this process is reversible at any time.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, disabling the app (WhatsApp in this case) did not do it for me, simply because I'm trying to replace it with another application, in this case WhatsApp Plus.
I ended up removing all its files manually, which left it in the PlayStore with an "update" option, so I updated it and then uninstalled it. I don't know how I did it or how that worked, but it did!

Package Disabler App

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:

does not exist. and you can not install the PDP engine from Google

Need help with debloating please!

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

Safe to uninstall Feedback?

I want to uninstall the Feedback app as it drains my battery a lot, not to mention it runs in the background when Ive never opened or used the stupid app before! The question is can I uninstall it without having any side affects?

Uninstalling system app may result in OTA update failure, other than that no problem should occure.

Unfortunately this is the only built in app added by Xiaomi you can't disable.
Clear the data, set the switch to never run in background and don't open the app again, should help reduce battery usage.

Feedback (and also Camera) is a system app. So uninstalling it could make problems with OTA. Just disable it.

Feedback can't be disabled, that's why I gave the advice in the post before yours.

@kudos1uk I just tested it and you are right. But you can disable it with Titanium Backup or Greenify(I don't know how they work without root) or Brevent that should work without root: https://www.xda-developers.com/brevent-is-an-open-source-alternative-to-greenify-works-without-root/
I don't know if OTA works when the app is hibernated. Maybe, it's better to enable it before updating Android via OTA. Personally, I have the app Feedback activated. It doesn't slow down my phone...

You can't disable a system app with TB without root.
The OP only needs to follow the advice in my first post, if running in background is disabled and you don't start it all will be fine.

If cant disable Mi services and feedback, you can uninstall the app
You can uninstall s&f app by ADB tool using your laptop.. My question is that is it safe??
