You don't have to but I always reboot and sometimes do a cache wipe in recovery if I go from none disabled to over 200. Just to make sure things are running smoothly. No evidence to show that works, just something I do.
[Galaxy Note5 General] DemonSoul:
Like people normaly like to just complain, im going to take a time to thank you for your job and trying to help us, I'm gratefull for you'r work bro

I'm just having a litle problem till now, i like to use 500 firepaper (changes the wallpapper of the background from X to X time) but i cant manage to put it working after using the file... its because of the file? or is there any way to put it working? im kinda of newbie so yeh

Once again keep the good work
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Thanks!

First, make sure your app works after enabling all the apps (export your file first so you can get back to your configuration after testing). If it works then it was something that was disabled. Not sure which file youre using but make sure you have everything enabled related to wallpaper like com.android.wallpapercropper, com.android.wallpapercropper2, live wallpaper picker, wallpapercompression, wallpaperpicker and maybe the My interests app. Try enabling one at a time until it works.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
New extreme xml file added to first post. Updated to allow software updates and enabled a few more to minimize others small issues. Only 192 apps disabled I think so its getting pretty light. Im actually still using something with a lot more disabled but I think this configuration will appeal to more people since I disable a lot of stuff most people would still expect to be there like google backups and such. I'll post an updated basic xml file later.
[Galaxy Note5 General] DemonSoul:
Hmm i just noticed i didn't actually backup the files, so if i want to enable it all again how im supposed to ? One by one? or is there any way?
[Galaxy Note5 General] user68734:
Would someone who uses the Note 5 on Verizon be interested in sharing your XML file? I just applied the Extreme XML from rlsroufe and I am now missing my Text messaging application :). I need to figure which package to re-enable.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
I'm not sure what you're trying to do here. If you want to enable the apps you have disabled, you can disable them one by one or press the menu button and select enable all disabled apps to get them all enabled at once. Select export XML file first if you want to back up your configuration before enabling everything.
[Galaxy Note5 General] user68734:
Count of enabled/disabled packages

Does Package Manager Pro give you a count of how many packages are disabled/enabled? If it does I cannot seem to locate it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
If you are using an extreme XML file before today's, I had messages disabled which is the stock messaging app. You can enable that or use something else. Not sure what's on Verizon but I can't disable an app which isn't on my phone.
[Galaxy Note5 General] user68734:
No worries. I hope I didn't sound critical. Far from it ... I obviously disabled something and just need to figure out what the default messaging app is on the Verizon Note 5. Thanks again for all your help and feedback rlsroufe.
[Galaxy Note5 General] LagunaTechie:
I just used the conservative package and changed just a few things. Curious, are you still getting major drain from cell standby? By phone is currently at 55% and 14% of that drain is from the cell standby.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
New basic package with software update fix added to first post. Decided Samsung pay is a gimmick and I'm getting that urge to tweak again so I'll probably be rooting soon which means these are probably the last XML files I'll be posting. This app doesn't seem to work on rooted devices and I will probably be using titanium backup anyway. But feel free to keep posting questions, I'll try to help out if I can.
[Galaxy Note5 General] GiancarloMorr24:
Great work. Would you happen to know which package re-enables the Samsung browser?
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Internet. And re-enable context service if its crashing.
[Galaxy Note5 General] GiancarloMorr24:
Context service must be what I need to tick. Internet is already enabled. Thank you.
[Galaxy Note5 General] elosogrande7076:
Thanks for all of your work and help with this.....out of curiosity, what about Samsung pay made you feel like it was a gimmick?
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
You know I was thinking about editing my post because that isnt really what I mean. I think mobile payments as a whole are a gimmick. The technology behind samsung pay is cool and in theory it should be the best form of mobile payments since it works with regular credit card readers. But I dont know who is going to stop carrying a wallet anytime soon and I dont really see how using your phone is any easier than swiping a card. Add to this, Samsung pay doesnt support all credit cards yet and isnt supported at every retailer. And for me personally, the time i use credit cards mostly is at restaurants and I dont see me handing my phone to a waiter to process my payment. Right now it makes something that isnt all that complicated more complicated. Its a solution looking for a problem.
[Galaxy Note5 General] shanda5303:
Is there a good alternative app to package disabler pro for rooted users?
[Galaxy Note5 General] MrAwesome75:
For the most part, I agree. But supposedly because of the mag-stripe reader (or whatever is called) it should work everywhere where there is a credit card machine. I don't plan to stop carrying a wallet anytime soon but sometimes I forget it in the car (or somewhere) but I hardly ever forget my phone. Would be nice to have that option just in case. Plus, the Gear S2 is supposed to have the capability as well. If it works the same as the phone (mag-stripe as well as NFC) that could make things a little easier, if you have the watch (which I may get).

Just my thoughts. I'm still planning to not root my phone though; I have other devices for that. And this phone seems damn near perfect without root (at least for my purposes).

Thanks for this thread!

Not sure if you figured it out or not. I'm on T Mobile, but as far as I know, the stock text messaging app is just called messages. I re-enabled that and I have my stock text messaging back.

Imported the extreme config into my Verizon Note 5 (made some changes to preserve stock launcher, browser, S-health, and to disable some Verizon packages). So far running smooth -- we'll see how battery is impacted. Thanks for providing this excellent resource!

For anyone interested, attached is my XML file.
[Galaxy Note5 General] mcdavid:
The app will work on a rooted device. The app will just not activate (the one time process when you install the app) on a rooted device.

So, if you install before rooting, it will work after rooting. If you want to install a custom rom, you will need to dirty flash it for the app to stay working.
[Galaxy Note5 General] tripjnj:
I noticed that I am no longer able to have a changing lockscreen wallpaper with multiple images. When I try, I get "All apps associated with this action have been turned off, blocked, or are not installed." I have tried reenabling a couple packages that looked obvious, but no cigar yet. Anyone know which packages are required for this?
[Galaxy Note5 General] sshafranko:
Did u try Keyguard wallpaper updater? Maybe even Dreams....sometimes removing fonts will also stop things from working especially widget which use those fonts.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Sounds like a problem someone else was having earlier. I posted this but never heard if it worked.

"First, make sure your app works after enabling all the apps (export your file first so you can get back to your configuration after testing). If it works then it was something that was disabled. Not sure which file youre using but make sure you have everything enabled related to wallpaper like com.android.wallpapercropper, com.android.wallpapercropper2, live wallpaper picker, wallpapercompression, wallpaperpicker and maybe the My interests app. Try enabling one at a time until it works."

Could also try enabling photo screensaver app. Hope that helps. Enable one by one so you know which one is responsible.
[Galaxy Note5 General] tripjnj:
Yes! com.samsung.android.keyguardwallpaperupdater was the one. Re-enabled just that one from my original list and the changing lockscreen wallpaper is working fine. Thanks guys!
[Galaxy Note5 General] MrAwesome75:
The one that did it for me was "live wallpaper picker."

Differences between Extreme and Basic

In an effort to understand the differences between the Extreme and Basic xml files, and also to better see what the disabled packages are, I created an excel spreadsheet with the two lists alphabetized. With that, it is easy to compare. Attached is a pdf file of my results. Shaded yellow are the packages removed from that version. In other words, the packages shaded yellow are removed from the extreme version. There was one package removed from the basic version that is left in extreme.

Summary (it is probably easier to just look at pdf):

Extreme removes the following, that are left in Basic:

<string>com.android.calendar</string>

<string>com.android.printspooler</string>

<string>com.cleanmaster.sdk</string>

I can't seem to copy and paste anymore ?

I highlight a web address in blue, and then I press the little copy symbol. I go to a reply box on a forum, and long press the empty area, waiting for the option to " paste " but it never shows up, and I can't paste.

But in my Nexus 6 I could copy and paste like that all the time.

Any suggestions ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] sshafranko:
You probably removed your clipboard

[Galaxy Note5 General] user68734:
You need Google play services to update apps and for many recent apps such as Google Maps and Lastpass (just some examples)
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Where did you see that? Don't think I did that.
[Galaxy Note5 General] redstarsea:
Thanks a lot man! :good:

I followed the guide and got very nice battery life. 7-8h on screen is normally as I am wearing gear 2 neo (bluetooth always on and tons of services I cannot disable due to the gear).

I don't think I need to root my note 5 anymore. I am trying to use Sammy Knox as anti-thief app and private mode. Samsung pay will be soon available in Canada is another reason that i should avoid rooting this phone - first time in 5 years living in Android World :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] 9BlackN*Black6:
Completely blown away by this battery life. Basically doubled my time between charges and this is only with the basic XML package:D. I'm going to run another full charge to fully discharged with AD guard running this time. I am not sure on that app yet as I seen a 7% battery drain from it and 0.32 gigabyte data drain in less than 24 hours from it the day I downloaded it. So I'm going to run it tomorrow to test my results with it running vs these results without it.

[Galaxy Note5 General] dandroid7:
So I tried searching this thread but did not find an answer for this...

Which apps control wifi calling?

I know there is wfcservice and wi-fi calling settings... I have both of those enabled, but I can't seem to get wifi calling to work.

Wondering if I have disabled something else that is causing it to not work or if it is a Rom or kernel issue.

Currently I'm running thrasher 3.4 Rom and arter97 5.0 beta kernel
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Make sure mtp and USB settings are enabled.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Make sure ipsec is enabled. That one isn't obvious.

I'm on the same rom and kernel combo, no issues here. You're still using package disabled pro?
[Galaxy Note5 General] 9BlackN*Black6:
Basic xml and all but a few bloatware things. Verizon

Just broke 6 hours and then phone died.
[Galaxy Note5 General] eskimochaos:
I meant what are you using the phone for? WiFi browsing? Data browsing, games, surfing, etc?
[Galaxy Note5 General] dandroid7:
Figured it out... ipsec and also need to have enterprise VPN services turned on too.

I'm using an app called Disable Application from the play store. Not as nice as PDP, but it works on rooted rom. It's simpler than titanium.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
I keep enterprise vpn services disabled, have for a long time, and use WiFi calling everyday with no issues. Might want to double check that.

Yeah I use titanium. Was a pain in the butt having to disable things one by one when flashing a new rom but I figured out how to make things a bit easier. I set up a filter for the apps I want to disable and batch freeze them all. I back my filtered apps the SD card so I don't lose them when wiping. Not as simple as package diabler but works pretty well. But I agree titanium isn't very user friendly.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Jmgilliam16:
Verizon here too. Which vzw Apps did you disable?
[Galaxy Note5 General] 9BlackN*Black6:
Yeah. Web browsing, gaming, and hotspot. M-F is when i really put it through the torture test as I'm usually running gps alot & working with pdf files on top of the usual.

Amazon stuff, Audible, Caller name id, cloud, messages(not messages+), nfl mobile, slacker radio, vz navigator, wallet

Gonna delve into disabling more on the extreme list tho:D

What's really great about this app is if you don't use something you can't disable it and always reenable it down the road if you choose to use it as it's not actually deleting it off your phone.
[Galaxy Note5 General] poczynek:
Anyone having any luck installing package disabler on a rooted phone by using hide my root or root cloak?
[Galaxy Note5 General] mcdavid:
Root cloak doesn't work. I tried. The only way to get app working (that I know of) while rooted is to install and activate while not rooted. Then, if you want to root, you can. If you want to install a rom, you need to dirty flash it. I'm running the app now on a rooted device.
[Galaxy Note5 General] GB1978:
If you are rooted why even bother using this app when titanium backup does exactly the same thing when you use the freeze option
[Galaxy Note5 General] danon.brown:
You can't import xml's with titanium backup. It's convenient.
[Galaxy Note5 General] GB1978:
Why worry about importing xml's when you have to remove or add a few anyway in order to get the device and features working as you want. Just as easy to go through the thread and learn what works for others. But it's personal preference at the end of the day. Both have advantages under certain circumstances.
[Galaxy Note5 General] mcdavid:
With the xml files, once you get it the way you want., you can create a new xml. It is much faster than manually doing 100+ in TIBU.
[Galaxy Note5 General] GB1978:
I get your point I do. I just feel if rooted by time you figure out a work around you could of gone through your list anyway
[Galaxy Note5 General] mcdavid:
Yeah.. if you want the app and didn't install while you were unrooted, it is a major hassle.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
If you know how to work with filters in titanium backup and batch freeze the apps in the filter, it can save a lot of time. That's how I use titanium to get a workflow similar to the XML files now that I'm rooted since I freeze about 200 apps every time I flash a new rom.

I found it, one of them was not coming up in the search. I had to find the deamon in the list of disabled apps.

I wouldn't run the default in the app. A lot of those apps in magenta break stuff you probably want when disabled. Not to toot my own horn, but run the basic XML file and re-enable weather and weather daemon.

Sorry, thats just a static list of what Android system is comprised of. It doesn't tell you what is actually running. When they are disabled, they don't run. You can test it on any app you want. Try disabling the launcher or the system ui and see what happens ;). J/k don't do that.
[Galaxy Note5 General] dandroid7:
I have used titanium for years but haven't done what you are suggesting. I had a bunch of apps frozen and thought i created a filter for them...after reading your suggestion.

I batch defrosted them... but how do you batch freeze them again?

I'm trying to learn how to use that feature in the manner you have suggested. That would be way faster than what I have been doing... one by one freezing apps.
[Galaxy Note5 General] GB1978:
Go home you are drunk
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Ok. This is what I do. You have to go into filter settings.

1. Create and edit your filter: 1. Add all the apps you want to be frozen and save your list. 2. Then export to clipboard. 3. In your file explorer create a blank file on your sd card and call it frozen apps or something and paste your list of frozen apps there. That's your backup.

(Back to first screenshot)

2. Save your filter and turn it on

3. Then apply the filter using the check at the top right.

Now that all the apps are filtered, freeze them all by going into batch operations and freeze all user and system apps (its only going to freeze the filtered ones).

And if you wipe and go to a new rom you can start titanium make your filter again by copying the files in your ad card backup and select import from clipboard.
[Galaxy Note5 General] ambervals6:
Static list? If you are part of the team that created this app with poor english, then keep filling the forum with garbage but as I said the application does not really disable other applications. And I gave specific example.
