So something strange happened to me last night. I let my phone battery go 100% dead then charged it to 100% with the phone turned off, tried to turn it on (with it still unplug) my daughter was asleep on our bed so I shoved it under a pillow while turning it on. Went to the kitchen to get some water, talked to my wife for a bit and then went back to the bed to grab my phone and I noticed it was on the T-Mobile logo and it was HOT. Like I couldn't hold it hot. Then it turned on like normal and loaded the lock screen and I unlocked the phone and it all of the sudden restarted but not all the way, just to the colorful samsung logo. Rinse repeat ad infinitum... Put it in the freezer to cool off so that I could use it (thought maybe it was an overheating issue) wiped cache and turned it back on. Same thing and it always restarted before I could get into Package Disabler... ended up having to wipe the whole phone to get it working again.

Not sure if something is disabled that is needed for starting up the phone or if something just freaked.
[Galaxy Note5 General] MrAwesome75:
Yes T-Mobile. There is a quick toggle for Wi-Fi Calling. It's also in the settings under Connections/More Connection Settings.

I can't check software update re-enable all in disabler pro. Any solution without hard reset?

Sorry dude. Yeah something must have been disabled that you needed. Happened to me before and had to factory reset. Really annoying. I'm pretty sure its nothing on the most recent configuration I have posted but there are some system apps I don't touch because I'm afraid it will put me in a loop like that again.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Check first post. I disabled them because you can't do a software update anyway. Says phone is modified and won't check. My suggestion is to export your settings then reenable all disabled, check for update and then import your XML file again to go back.
[Galaxy Note5 General] matt.b.powell:
I was using the first "experimental" version you sent out. So maybe that's why. Just wanted to throw out a heads up. Realized this morning though... I probably could have started it in safe mode and not had to do that.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Yeah I edited my post about those settings earlier. I would try most recent one (but enable settings receiver, i forgot to re-enable that. Will update later). And nope safe mode wouldn't have worked. I tried that too. Still would reboot.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
That reminds me. To update XML file correctly you need to first enable all disabled apps, then import XML file. Otherwise it won't enable the apps that were changed, just keeps them all disabled.
[Galaxy Note5 General] aydink_1903:
As I say in previous post, I do re-enable all before cheking. Nothing changed.

I have read the first post carefully before using it. It is not clear for me. You have to write "If you use this app once, you couldn't get firmware update via OTA anymore, unless you wipe data in recovery or hard reset in Settings" or something else.

Regards

Did you reboot the phone after enabling everything. That worked for me. No factory reset. I will add that part to the first post. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note5 General] MrAwesome75:
It's almost 3 hours on battery and screen is at the top of the list (as expected) and cell standby is 5 down from the top. Looks like WiFi calling was the culprit.

Anyone having trouble taking a screenshot by pressing the home and power buttons after using package disabler?
[Galaxy Note5 General] elosogrande7076:
I am stil on the original config list and I am able to take them with no issue.
[Galaxy Note5 General] MrAwesome75:
I thought I wasn't able to at first either. But I wasn't holding the buttons long enough. Hold them for a split second before you release and it should take the shot. I usually use the pen or palm swipe though, so I am not used to doing it with the buttons.

Find a rom that has the folder priv-app klmsAgent and in that folder will be the apk. Grab that folder. And move it to your current priv-app folder (download a root file manager) and reboot. Load up the app and it'll go through and ask if you want activate it. And then go for it
[Galaxy Note5 General] KnightsOfRen:
A little disappointing that there is no actual guide and description of files removed . No actual guide just here these apps worked for me and BTW i saved the exportable xml for you.

Thanks anyhow

Use titanium backup pro and freeze the apps
[Galaxy Note5 General] b4u2:
I've been having battery issues so I may try this again and see if it gets better.
[Galaxy Note5 General] b4u2:
Does using this theme really help with battery? I did try to purchase it but there was an error. In the Extreme package is there something that prevents me from purchasing?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ohhdayumm:
You have to enable galaxy apps and samsung account to download and install the theme.
[Galaxy Note5 General] b4u2:
ok so I got it installed and I am using Extreme package on Marshmallow. Will test this out for a few days and see what happens. I have noticed that my bluetooth connection is much faster than it had been.
[Galaxy Note5 General] siddharth72:
WhatsApp badge counter stuck at two

I have used the extreme XML file and disabled all the packages. But my WhatsApp badge counter has been stuck at 2 ever since. May I know how to remove that?

I see a lot of good battery reports from people that are able to root. That must be the main difference because with Verizon I have to stay on stock rom. Unless something has changed?
[Galaxy Note5 General] oznerol87:
Rooting is always beneficial on any phone when it comes to battery. Any carrier sponsored phone will always come with extra apps, whether it is their own app or partenred with, they are apps that always connects to the internet or are always running in the background (most of them if not all). Plus, Samsung has has its own preloaded apps as well. Rooting gives you the ability to uninstall or disable them, freeing your battery from the burden at the cost of voiding your warranty.

There are already lots of tutorials where you can root your phone without voiding your warranty or tripping Knox, you can bring your phone back to stock incase you have to bring it over to Samsung to avail your warranty. So do it at your own risk. :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] b4u2:
I know about rooting and have rooted phones in the past. My problem is that Verizon and the Note 5 are not rooted yet. I was asking if something had changed and so far my searching has shown that no nothing with Verizon has changed and I cannot root.
[Galaxy Note5 General] marvintheone33:
locked bootloader
[Galaxy Note5 General] LateForDinner:
Mine isn't rooted and the battery life is fine. Just turn the bloat off.
[Galaxy Note5 General] HexaGone:
Thank you for the guide. Much appreciated. ;)
[Galaxy Note5 General] b4u2:
I used the extreme package here and it "seems" to have helped some. I play the same games and use my phone the same amount but ever since Marshmallow my battery drains faster. I have factory reset, wiped cache, debloated, installed Dark material theme, use lowest brightness setting I can tolerate, and still do not get very good battery life.
[Galaxy Note5 General] LateForDinner:
I don't have MM as I'm on AT&T. Did you ever do a factory reset? With all the negative surrounding MM, I don't see why people are angry with AT&T for being late to the party.
[Galaxy Note5 General] b4u2:
Yes I have factory reset.

Hello, do you guys know any package related to software update? Because I'm using stock Rom on my 920K (not rooted yet), after manually disabling > 150 services and now I am getting error for checking update. Thank you very much in advanced.

[Galaxy Note5 General] oznerol87:
Hi, I just noticed I don't have the com.sec.android.emergencylauncher within my list of apps. So I'm not sure if I can safely use Ultimate power saving. It's not showing up in my list of apps..
[Galaxy Note5 General] Akia Azriel:
It's not present in all models of the note 5 actually. A lot of these processes aren't in mine also. I just froze what i could find.
[Galaxy Note5 General] MoHuToP:
After the big update to 6.0.1 emergencylauncher is missing from the list, so I think is merged somewhere in the system. Before few months Ive post one guide how to reenable the launcher and avoid factory reset. In Note5 forums is another very good threat about this. Anyway, in MM there is general changes in power consumption, so I cannot find info about upsm. Stay tunned.
[Galaxy Note5 General] metehanserbetci:
İs it working on Note 3 ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] oznerol87:
Noted, it's weird that not all packages are present though since Ultra power saving is a default to all Note 5. But knowing this, means it is safe to use the Ultra power saving.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note5 General] julioolares:
Someone has used this on a 920G variant? And also want to know if this works on android MM? And if the device has to be stock.. no root and no custom rom .. i want to give a try someone can tell me
[Galaxy Note5 General] in-dent:
Just got my Note 5, and did the basic cleaning in Package Disabler. I've noticed that I'm not getting text notifications. Dashclock will recognize that theres a text waiting but no notifications otherwise means I miss messages for hours. Any idea what might be causing this before I do a factory reset?

Less importantly I noticed that video call under the phone app is greyed out. Does this have to do with carrier restrictions (I'm on Koodo) or is this also package Disabler related?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Skitnica15:
I can tell you from experience that you cannot use ultra power saving mode on 6.0.1 (galaxy s6). The phone will go to bootloop and factory reset is needed.

emergencylauncher is missing from the list.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Blage1975:
I have a 920T and I always use ultra power saving mode when I'm at work. I only go down about 20% and I use my phone at every break and lunch. Debloating and using Smartass2 & Noon with Synapse. Turned off all notifications and turned off all animation with a black theme for just about everything. Hope that helps a little
[Galaxy Note5 General] deweee:
Just bought the app and applied basic xml + some extra violet colored bloatware. Is this app as safe as it sounds ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] LiL_Assassin:
It is safe just be careful what you block.

Guys I apply the extreme settings on my note 5.. but now VoLTE stops working.. i dont know what service I need to activate

Re enable all the packages and try the basic debloat and see if the problem still exists.

[Galaxy Note5 General] jhogal12:
Does anyone have a latest XML with list of things that we can disable safely on 6.0, i disable more than few and i ended up with my phone stuck on ATT logo. But this improved battery life much better. with no sync or anything I used get one day now i get 2-3 days.

Note7

I used the basic xml to debloat my new note7. now smart switch will not backup my phone. Does anyone know what needs to be enabled to allow backup via smart switch?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note5 General] edwardob:
just open package disabler... search smartswitch switch

two app will show enable them.... should do it
[Galaxy Note5 General] henry.gunter:
only one "smart switch agent witch is enabled. have smartcapture, smartselect, smartcardmanager, smartcardservice and smartfaceservice, all were disabled. I enabled them all and it works. will narrow it down. thanks
[Galaxy Note5 General] oznerol87:
Maybe it would be good if there will be a new thread for de-bloating Note 7. Maybe you can start one? I don't have Note 7.. yet....... :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] mrlooolz:
I am very tempted to try this but i am scared it messes up something. I dont have enough knowledge to do my own
[Galaxy Note5 General] edwardob:
for smart switch I have this.... no problem
[Galaxy Note5 General] edwardob:
anyone know which package is related to Samsung account sync......
[Galaxy Note5 General] lucardie:
Would I be able to have a list of the items I can remove without causing my phone any problems? I don't feel very confident in my skills by reading through parts of this thread. Thank you! :o
[Galaxy Note5 General] natri23:
You can download one of the Package Disabler in app store and disable ones you want follow the attathed screenshot. All of them wont cause your phone any problem although they might contain some of the apps you want to keep (like the default Messages app, Smart Manager...) which you can also download better ones in App Store
[Galaxy Note5 General] huypq:
I disabled some packages, and now I cant run some code such as: *#0228*, *#0*#.... Can you guys show me which packages is? Thanks!

I found out that Ez Package Disabler Pro no longer blocks AT&T Software Updates. Package: com.ws.dm has now been forbidden to block!! But this is Android son, take ownership.

Last, but not least.. My Ez Package Disabler Pro xml list!!! Be warned, I didn't actually take a lot of time deciding what to disable. This may circumvent the security of your phone!, although I killed most file sharing services besides MTP.

For the love of Christ if there is a package in this list that gets disabled, which isn't supposed to be getting disabled.. SSSSSHHHH

[MENTION=4246110]rlsroufe[/MENTION] Looks like zip file in OP is only 3KB. I'm assuming this is a mistake.
[Galaxy Note5 General] danon.brown:
If you are getting a security error enable the package Faceprovider.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Sfkn2:
FYI - Turning off VoLTE also disables the handoff from WiFi-Calling on TMO. If this is off, your phone will not switch from using WIFI to cell signal. The call will simply drop off.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Nope XML files aren't big. Only 6kb unzipped. Might want to hold off for a little bit. About to upload a new version.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Yes that is true. Learned that the hard way. Call dropped as I walked outside and WiFi dropped out. I like WiFi calling though. It's a big help at work where my signal is crap. So I leave on WiFi preferred and put the WiFi calling toggle in my notification panel and just switch it off from there when I don't need it anymore.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ausylon:
I'm not seeing a similar option to toggle with mine on AT&T. Only Enhanced 4G LTE Services is what I've disabled and Cell Standby has decreased in half on the Battery Usage.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Sorry, its just T mobile. AT&T hasnt enabled wifi calling on any devices except the iphone (boo) and that doesnt roll out to everyone with iphones until ios9 comes out.

Whats weird about the cell standby battery drain bug is that its not related to the cellular radio at all. Its related to Wifi. I can be in airplane mode and enable wifi with wifi calling and I get it. People have gotten rid of it by disabling wifi.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Ok, original post updated with newest xml file. I enabled settings receiver again, disabled one of the remaining ANT HAL apps that I missed on the last one. Disabled most of the extra sound quality effects, at least the ones that run in the background whether youre playing music or not (but please enable again if you like these. I just think they are mostly gimmicks, except adapt sound - but my hearing is fine so I disabled, and UHQ upscaler). Disabled One hand mode and smart network switch because i dont use them.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jkeith1:
Just me, I'm sure. However, I didn't care for giving package disabler that much access.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ausylon:
That's what I figured. I'm fine with that, no issues on call quality or drops here.
[Galaxy Note5 General] martinezma99:
I just updated XML file with zero issues. Thanks for the hard work.

P.S. I'm on AT&T Note 5 so disabled even more AT&T related bloatware.
[Galaxy Note5 General] matt.b.powell:
So learned something today. I used the XML without fixing my Cell Standby and no amount of turning off VoLTE and WiFI Calling fixed my issue. Then I started looking around and found out that Samsung Push Service was updated to help fix this, but this was one of the disabled apps in this list. So I re-enabled it, and now I am able to stop and start Cell Standby by turning on VoLTE or Wifi Calling.

So moral of the story, if you haven't fixed your Cell Standby and you have run the disabler XML's re-enable the Samsung Push Service and turn VoLTE and WiFi Calling off, then wipe Cache partition. Restart your phone and it should be fixed.

How I tested this was looking at the Total Connection Time counter and refreshing it to see if it counted any more time. With those two items off it stops counting if either of those two are on it starts counting again. Went back into to Package Disabler Pro and disabled the Samsung Push Service after using the fix described, still so far so good.

Hope this helps someone.
[Galaxy Note5 General] elosogrande7076:
Small tiny request....if you could put the date or some type of identifier in the zip title, that would be great. I think that might help those looking at the thread and knowing which zip/XML they are downloading. I only say this as it looks like I missed one of the previous XMLs you updated. NO matter what, just want to say thank you for the thread and your work
[Galaxy Note5 General] jkeith1:
So I all seriousness, any major security issues with package disabler?

On another note turned off volte and WiFi calling. Cell standby is at 1%. No other mods.
[Galaxy Note5 General] oneandroidnut:
Disabled some stuff on my verizon note 5 hope this isnt a scam and the app is legit ;)
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Sure I can do that! Updated the first post again. I added a less and more xml file. The less only has disabled apps where I am positive what they do and I left apps enabled that dont really run in the background anyway, for the people that want a more conservative approach. The more is for people that want to see how much they can get away with without affecting the core functionality or performance of the phone. We'll see which one is better for battery life but I am running the less version right now and performance is very snappy, may be even a teensy bit better than the more version. I may run some benchmarks later.

The current more xml file is a little different than the file I posted earlier today. I enabled mobile tracker which I believe the find my android app and others use to detect your lost phone, which might you might want to have if you ever do lose your phone. And enabled the flash bar service because disabling it appears to break the ability to resize apps in multiwindow. And some other minor changes I cant remember. Sorry for the frequent updates but I think I have it in a good place now and this should be the last version for a while.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
I honestly dont know how trustworthy the app is but one thing I do on many of my apps that I dont trust to behave is disable background services in the mobile data section of settings. And on this phone you have the smart manager which has a nice feature in the ram section where you can completely disable certain apps from running in the background. I have done those things with this app and others, and I feel it helps battery life and performance.
[Galaxy Note5 General] martinezma99:
Does the T Mobile Note 5 have this Synchronize app running in the background at all times?
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Nope. I have never seen that app on my T mobile phone before. I know every app like the back of my hand now lol.
