I got this answer from package disabler team:

Hi,

Samsung has blocked us from selling package disabler in play store. We are working to restore it.

Meanwhile you can use our superlock lite app from playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.superkiosk.ospolice.superlocklite&hl=en_GB . Go to disable package menu and disable the app that you want.

Please do this before monday.

Alternative is to buy package disabler from our website www.ospolice.com/pricing. It is for Business to business customer with a minimum volume of 10.

We are working to make single license purchase possible soon. We will update you.

Regards,

OSP

theme store download button not working?
[Galaxy S6 General] sw25:
Its back on the Play store now.
[Galaxy S6 General] Ionut Ciprian:
It is back on play store but knox packages were removed from being disabled.
[Galaxy S6 General] Giocarro:
Sad news; at this point Gates Junior debloat procedure remains the best solution to lean our S6... and indeed it is effective to improve both speed and battery life.
[Galaxy S6 General] tzmx:
Well i didnt have chance to test package disabler, but now that its back i sure will. I dont really care about not able to disable Knox as long as i can disable everything else without rooting.
[Galaxy S6 General] Giocarro:
In my personal list of debloatable packages I read as many as 10 different Knox packages, and it might not be all of it; add to this that Package Disabler developers didn't state exactly what packages are no more possible to be disabled, so in the end that app is not reliable anymore in my humble opinion.

To be clear I don't blame the developers at all for this change, they simply have to live within market rules.
[Galaxy S6 General] RubenMMS2:
I just payed the app (Package Disabler)in the Playstore and the same error cames ones installed. I does not work, knox still make trouble with it and it can´t be activated

I someone get it work on the Galaxy s6 with 5.1.1 please let us know, but i couldn´t make it work (could not activate it)

RubenMMS2
[Galaxy S6 General] ambasada:
Everything is ok.

I have 5.1.1
[Galaxy S6 General] RubenMMS2:
Ambasada, please let us know what did you do? On my Galaxy s6 one i installed it and opened it, Knox pop up and they ask me , if i say ok the activation did not work, if i say cancell to knox the same happend Activation failed.

Anyone more who could make it work?
[Galaxy S6 General] ambasada:
Uninstall and try again, i have problem only with activation
[Galaxy S6 General] Ionut Ciprian:
Remove from device admin, clear cache, remove, reinstall. It should work.
[Galaxy S6 General] RubenMMS2:
Finally i get it to work.

i unistalled it and now i could activate it :)

Now lets remove bloatware without FC

[Galaxy S6 General] dobbelina:
Doesn't work, License server error before program starts.

Also very dangerous tool as it needs internet to work.

If you by misstake disable something that has to do with connectivity you will end up having to do a factory restore !!

If you by misstake installed this crap onto your device, you might notice that the de-install option is greyed out, don't panic.

Go into the security section and de-select the app under device administrators.

Now it can be de-installed.

Here's a free and much SAFER alternative:

http://xdaforums.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294

Usually these kind of apps are being offered for free at XDA forums, but there's always somebody who's trying to

turn it into a buck, totally disregarding the people who d/l this and softbrick their phones...

Also the whole purpose and usefulness of the tool is defeated if you need internet access to d/l and use it.

Reason being the phone fills up with crap, the same second you connect it to the internet the first time.

You want to run a tool like this before, not giving the phone a chance to fill up with junk/updates.

Especially important is this in regards to OTA.

Disabled junk is still junk eating precious space on your mobile.
[Galaxy S6 General] tzmx:
Iam not an expert, but isnt internet connection something to do with samsung and knox licenses? As i understand this they are using Knox security (Samsungs) premission to get some kind of super administrator for your device. Also there is a chance they ahve to pay samsung small fee for each device.... Then again iam not and expert and just guessing..

For me this app is perfect - why? 1. i dont need to root 2. i dont need to connect to pc and do some next level stuff 3. its so simple and easy 4. it works so good and simple that i happy to pay that 1,2 euro for app like that, to be able to debloat my phone AND tablet! Thanks devs.
[Galaxy S6 General] RubenMMS2:
PACKAGE DISABLER do not work (Disabled Apps still make use of RAM)

I get the app activated and it works, but i have to say that i lose 1€, because it does not work. I have disabled many apps, and later i see that the apps are still using RAM, so they are not disabled. Some yes some don´t get disabled.

Dont waste the money,

i spend the whole morning with it

,

restarting the phone, making several tests

, and came to the conclusion :

PACKAGE DISABLER

do not disable the app, they are still on backround using RAM

I want my 1€ back... :(

RubenMMS2
[Galaxy S6 General] superleeds27:
I'm using it and its blocking apps for me.

I've lso tried using debloater and its telling me packages are indeed blocked, so package disabler pro is indeed working.
[Galaxy S6 General] phate89:
Same here.. it works very well

[Galaxy S6 General] tzmx:
Can you post some screenshots?, because i havent seen this problem for any of the apps i disabled. Maybe you have other problem, for example, are you runing some kind of custom ROM? Cause from what i can tell from app deiscription on play store it doesnt work on custom ROMs.
[Galaxy S6 General] RubenMMS2:
I have Stock France 5.1.1 no custom ROM and no Root.

Tryed to disable Quick connect and Knox, and you will see that it get conected using ram with SMART MANAGER.

Please try some apps and once 5 minutes are gone go to SMART MANAGER and let me know if they are not using RAM

RubenMMS2
[Galaxy S6 General] phate89:
What specific app? There is more than one knox app

[Galaxy S6 General] RubenMMS2:
I´m trying to install this app again but the fuc,,, app says allways: Licence activation failed :( and all the time ELM Agent pop up and i cant go on :confused:

I hate this app hopefully i can get it installed as today morning and try to disable apps and try again if everything work as you tell me

RubenMMS2
[Galaxy S6 General] tzmx:
You have to Accept license terms from ELM Agent pop up! Only then activation of pckage disabler app will happen.

Has anyone tried the debloat lists from the first 3 posts with a S6 Active?
[Galaxy S6 General] DBCoop:
I have pretty much disabled everything from those lists on my S6 Active with no issue. When I export my XML, it is 156 apps. I have disabled a few other obvious ones I don't want/need, but basically I've used everything in the first three posts with no issue!
[Galaxy S6 General] developerdan:
KNOX can be disabled with pacakge disabler

You can use import from XML feature to disable any package in package disabler.

make a file with name disabledpackage.xml and store it in Device storage. Sample file below.

<importExportSetting>

<disabledPackages class="java.util.ArrayList">

<string>com.sec.enterprise.knox.attestation</string>

<string>com.sec.knox.setupwizardstub</string>

How much of an effect does bloatware removal have?

For the folks who have used the Package Disabler Pro, how much of an effect do you see?

Is your Galaxy S6/S6 Edge faster, less lag?

Does this work on all S6 Edge devices? Including Verizon?

I am considering a purchase of the Verizon S6 Edge but before I do I would like to make sure the bloatware can be disabled and that it makes a difference in the device speed and performance.
[Galaxy S6 General] tzmx:
1. Effect is very noticeable on battery life. Before i disabled bloat i got like 16hours of battery at max... now iam going 24hours where iam on 4g most of the time (sync ON, data on etc.). Could go as much as 48 i it was 100% on wifi only (wifi for me eats A LOT LESS battery)

2. I dont see difference in speed/lag. THo my device ISNT alging at all (before or after debloat). Only problems are with ram management, but devloating doesnt/didnt help with that.

3. I am 99% sure it does work on other SAMSUNG devices. I debloated my note 10.1 (2014) tablet with no problems. Also app description says it works on most Samsung devices)

Lastly i strongly suggest you to play/use a little edge model before you buy it, so you can see if you even like and need the edge version, cause a lot of users here have returned and changes theirs edge for regular one after trying it. Iam not saying its bad (cause it isnt!), but just try it to see if its a thing for you! :)
[Galaxy S6 General] nickvog:
May I ask, which specific system apps u disabled from within the package disabler app ???

A list of yours would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S6 General] zeusumit:
The app shows list of bloatwares in Pink color and all are safe to disable.

[Galaxy S6 General] H8SOCIETY:
Hi guys.... Best app for freezing & deleting apps (also systemapps) or remove autostart is SD MAID PRO (Root). I use it since Galaxy S2...
[Galaxy S6 General] aff219:
I've seen a few people say they cant get debloater to detect their phone: make sure you're not running bluestacks or any other android emulator on your PC when you run debloater or else it'll detect that instead of your phone. I failed to use this program for 3 days before realizing it was detecting my bluestacks. Once shut off everything went great. Can't believe I can shut all these services off without root...this program rocks!
[Galaxy S6 General] thcaddict:
I have tried disabling all of these through titanium backup and now TouchWiz keeps force closing about every 3 minutes. Does anyone have any suggestions why TouchWiz would start doing that? I tried clearing cache and it didn't help at all

[Galaxy S6 General] CCANDROID357:
kem6600,

Related to your final point in post #9, "Less Junk = more free memory and longer stand by time": Another article suggests that one gains no usable memory from using these debloat programs, as the apps are removed, since they are originally stored in the system partition anyway. Is that correct? What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks for this info. I've been considering this Debloater and found this thread while searching articles as I am concerned about its safety, first as potential malware and also for my phone.

(Aside: When I asked for opinions/experiences from others about this on android central, the administrator banned me permanently giving the reason, 'advertising and self-promotion'. Makes no sense unless their automatic filters flubbed it up. But nonetheless they haven't replied to my requests to reconsider. Anyways due to that and since so many threads there refer to XDA, I suppose I'll join XDA.)
[Galaxy S6 General] MizuRyuu:
I believe that the system partition thing means that disabling the apps doesn't free up the hard drive room, which is expected. However, a number of these bloatware apps have background processes running even if you never open them up. In this case, disabling the app would free up RAM space, and possibly increase battery life.
[Galaxy S6 General] Gerardo92:
Parallax effect

Does anyone knows what apk makes parallax effect to work? I disabled a lot with package disabler and then make a lot of tests to see what functions I was loosing, anyhow... I dont know why or how I can´t see any option for parallax while choosing a new wallpaper, I have the latest 5.1.1 update (wich everyone´s saying they got parallax back). Please someone help and thanks in advance.﻿
[Galaxy S6 General] Crisisx1:
Lol you guys might as well disable the whole phone.

I just glanced over the thread with the debloater app, a lot of info.

Is it complicated to install?

I thought it would just be an apk you install quickly.
[Galaxy S6 General] destrorox:
Quick question...will this impact the updating process if done via odin? I'm still on OE2 but would rather update using odin rather than OTA. Will i need to unfreeze? Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 General] MizuRyuu:
It is an app from Google Play. Once you purchase it, it will install by itself. The problem is figuring out what to disable and making sure you don't disable anything important to the operation of the phone.
[Galaxy S6 General] vnvman:
I tried both Disable Services and My Android Tools, but it seems like although these apps work, they also keep disabling some Gmail service that is needed for the app to work, no matter how many times I turn it back on. Any idea on why this might be happening? I need to remove or freeze said apps to get Gmail to work again. I'm on XtreStoLite, deodexed. See attached pic for details.

I tried with my newly purchased galaxy s6 , usb debugging on but still not showing device on debloater software (usb driver also installed) , and ya i am still not rooted this device !!

any thing that i should check to work with this software ?
[Galaxy S6 General] Giocarro:
[MENTION=5548806]amitbhatt89[/MENTION], if I remember correctly I installed Samsung SmartSwitch before trying the procedure, so it might be the solution for your issue.
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
done but no luck , seems its requires root compulsory :(
[Galaxy S6 General] Luis33Boxer:
Guys, "Autopreconfig" is the process that allows the phone to "remember" which app you want to use to open some sort of file by default. If you block that one, you'll have to keep selecting the app you want to open something with (e.g., "Just Once or Always").

[Galaxy S6 General] ergalthema:
I was just informed that com.osp.app.signin causes bad problems if disabled - like a factory reset is required to fix it. Not sure if it was mentioned elsewhere in this thread, but if so why hasn't it been removed from the "safe" list in the OP? Why is it so difficult to find a safe list of packages that can be disabled for debloat? Also, it seems like a safe list should explain what each package is for.
[Galaxy S6 General] piccit:
Looks like that's the Samsung account apk. If you're not using any samsung account features, you wouldn't need this. So "safe" to disable really depends on your usage.

(also, I call shenanigans that it takes a factory reset. Just defrost it along with whatever it may be depenent on)
[Galaxy S6 General] warriorpluto:
It does cause problems and you do have to factory reset. I just went through this the other day using the debloaters app. Re enabling did nothing
[Galaxy S6 General] piccit:
Sounds like a problem with that app. I've TiBu frozen and defrosted samsung account before without issue

Tried searching the thread, but with not much luck.
[Galaxy S6 General] partyman66:
FotaClient.apk (localFOTA)

You need that at least... maybe more.

If that doesn't work by itself, try also adding back SPDClient.apk com.policydm since that is necessary for Security Policy updates to come down.
[Galaxy S6 General] chadwicky:
I made a list of 22 bloatware apps you can freeze with Titanium Backup installed on a rooted S6 Edge.

Just ran this to clear all bloat on a Verizon GS6. Only re enabled some things like Instagram or photo editor in the gallery.

Going through this thread and testing stuff people complained about. Nothing phone-breaking so far. SMS and MMS works on textra, fingerprint scanner works. Location is working. System update is working. Locking and restarting works. I'll report if something comes up. Also to report battery life.

Wishing for the best!
[Galaxy S6 General] ravustaja:
Edit: I managed to solve the problem. Enabling SIM Application Toolkit (Stk.apk) fixed it.

I used the list from 1st page to debloat my phone. Now I noticed that the Mobile Certificate (is it the correct term in English?) is not working anymore. Does anyone know which .apk is used for this?

I'm talking about mobile verification (ETSI-MSS) service which I can use to identify myself (online banks etc).
[Galaxy S6 General] RaySorian:
I would be careful freezing/removing EmergencyLauncher.apk ======== com.sec.android.emergencylauncher, this it to allow someone to make an emergency call if your phone is locked using any security higher than swipe.
[Galaxy S6 General] marcil802:
Significant enough

To me

- battery life

- more space

- more speed

- faster booting

- less crap notification /icon

- more privacy

Are real points and significant gain ......

Hello, i've got a S6 with android 6.0.1 and rooted.

I am using titanium backup to remove every bloater. but i do have a question.

I can remove a lots of apps with no problems but the phone will crash and never restart when i try to remove the following apps:

Briefing

Dictionary

Drive

do you know which one can cause the crash? i always need to re flash the stock rom and re root the phone as soon as one of those app is removed.

thanks guys

Try to freeze that apks not remove and see if its ok.
[Galaxy S6 General] paulyz:
I disabled these 3 apps with package disabler pro and do not have any problem.
[Galaxy S6 General] Pawprints1986:
Does there exist anywhere a list of apps, including what they are all supposed to do? I can find list upon list of things people removed, but nothing at all for a detailed list.

For my old device there was an excel chart with all real names, apk names, whether safe or not to remove or if unsure. Color coded, easy to use. It was great! Is something like that for s6 based phones going to be created, ever? Lol
[Galaxy S6 General] Dinaiz:
