There's a Reddit post saying disabling packages will actually affect performance and be unstable, that the phone will automatically optimze the system depending on your usage and will feel more fluid, is this true
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ragazzza:
lol hell no, how can system make itself more fluid when there is ton of apps running in background
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] unitz0mbie:
i followed your list but whenever i open settings it takes a second to load, what service fixes that
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] unitz0mbie:
thank you, i am trying your list , just noticed the settings menu takes a while to load? what service would cause that?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dule2303:
Solution please?anyone
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheDantee:
hmmm mine load fine..... I just took the 94 for the other guy and added some more to disable on my End however it does not work with VR..... Working on finding out what needs to run to make that work if I enable everything its fine......
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] sanjsrik:
I had this EXACT issue. Here's what I did:

Uninstall ALL "root" applications that I had but weren't working such as:

Toolbox Pro

TI Backup

and anything else that requires root but won't work as we don't have Root.

Also, you may want to check out this topic on PDP's website:

http://www.packagedisabler.com/

Scroll down to the FAQ and the answer for: I am getting License activation failure / retry. How can I resolve this ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dule2303:
Thankssss a lot.by default i install busybox and super su .i uninstal that and everything works.thanksssss
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] sanjsrik:
YESSSS, sorry, that's what I meant to add to my list, I had to uninstall superSU (pro and free) and busybox (pro and free)

I think the PDP app looks for anything that may conflict with root or may try and gain root even though you don't have root and then reacts by saying the device is rooted since PDP only works if your device is NOT rooted.

I'm guessing but it sounded right to me in my logic.

I reasoned that if I was seeing the "your device is rooted" message and after I read their error message on their site that something must be tripping the PDP app to say, there might be root.

have u found any improvements in using disabler?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] AndroiderM:
+1 Used this as a good base for my AT&T S8+
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheDantee:
Yes I'd say about 5 to 10% better
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Symphony0fLife:
In my experience it doesn't actually make things unstable (unless you disable something that is unsafe) but it's effect on battery life can vary. I disabled all bloatware and some things I didn't use/will never use. Battery life was actually noticeably worse than stock. Leaving everything on except Samsung Pay (doesn't work with my bank), com.qualcomm.atfwd, IQService (AT&T only as far as I am aware) and Gear VR got me the best life so far at 8.5 hours SOT. The phone does indeed adjust itself according to your usage and automatically throttles/turns off things you don't use in a certain length of time. It does improve after 2-3 charge cycles.

At the end of the day it depends on how you use your phone and what you disable. What works for some won't work so well for others. My S7 Edge got horrific battery life (2-3 hours SOT MAX no matter what I did as far as staying stock or disabling stuff) and the S8+ is a rock star so far either way. Even with the worse battery life having disabled bloatware and a few other things, I still got almost 7 hours SOT which is good enough for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] vcysion:
If you mean make VR work, then you have to make sure you don't disable "Facebook App Installer" along with the Oculus apps
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheDantee:
Update to My Previous List...... In Messages App you could not select pics from Gallery with my old version of disabled apps..... You can now do that in this version it saves alot more ram..... I Have disabled the Stock Samsung Keyboard and replaced it with a much less ram usage keyboard SwiftKey beta..... If you plan on using the Stock keyboard just re enable it..... VR is disabled Bixby is enabled and some Samsung apps have been disabled..... I have added a pic of my average free ram on the 4GB Model! As well as the updated version of the XML for disabled apps! Enjoy Friends! I will tinker with this some more in a little bit with Google messenger app to see if it uses less ram then the Stock Samsung app and things like that :)! I Also wanted to add in this edit that I have samsung Internet disabled and the Samsung Internet beta installed

If you don't mind to tell me which string is for Stock Samsung Keyboard

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheDantee:
Lookup keyboard in the app and you should see it there
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheDantee:
So an update to the Previous Version...... I Have Disabled the Samsung Internet and am using Chrome (saves like 5MB of ram for me) and then went through and disabled the Stock Samsung calender, Samsung messages, Samsung gallery, Samsung clock and the Samsung calculator and have replaced them with the Google Variants which you csn find on the app store.... I Did not expect such a drastic increase in free ram.... You csn in the photos below just sitting on my main screen 3 images of ram going up and down but staying in the range of above 1.3GB Free.... I have also disabled Samsung health now as I don't use that.... As always re enable what you use, if you would like you can also disable Bixby and the edge display as I don't use those but they are nice to have on I guess XD! If you would like me to see what else I can disable or switch like the Samsung dialer app to the Google one etc via external apks I can try that..... Until then enjoy this Fully Devoted and more Google like experience on your S8+!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheDantee:

I am also having slower load times with opening settings especially "lock screen and security" it will take about 2 seconds instead of being instant. Also I would like to know how I could still use a bixby remapper with bixby being totally disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheDantee:
Do you have all your animations on 0.5x in dev settings
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] magicoolje:
Lol. Read another topics on this forum about package disabler. Boys disabled about 180-190 packages :)). I have disabled around 150 and then I go back to 50-60 pakages because I don't see any improvements in battery life or compute power. The phone is well optimized and have a lot of everything:). Anyway there is some packages that can be disabled. Best way to disable the unwanted packages is to go in dev mode and se see what are the running processes. Disable with PD the processes which consider that you don't use.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheDantee:
Did that with stuff like Samsung Keyboard... etc and switched to SwiftKey and all Google Apps Much more Fluent for me
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] Kickthejamz:
Anybody else get a popup after taking a picture with rear camera that says "vision cloud agent has stopped" I get it when I click on the last previous pic. Last night I put my phone on the charger and woke up to the screen stuck on the T-Mobile boot up. It was pretty warm too, had to do a manual reset, could this be from disabling all the T-Mobile apps? Seems to restart fine now though. Why would the phone restart itself anyways I don't think there is a scheduled on/off setting on this device.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] magicoolje:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] m3lover1:
I think the latest package disabler pro update has an issue. The app no longer works for me on my s8+ after updating. T-Mobile s8+
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheDantee:
Qorks fine for me....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] m3lover1:
Weird. After update everything that i froze with it got reenabled, and when i go back and disable it, the app never gets disabled, and the checkmark disappears after a minute.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dansan382:
mine just updated now it reactivated everything. trying to reselect everything but the setting doesnt stick. make sure you install that PDP engine it talks about, then click on the app in the app drawer and make sure its turned on.

im really pissed that my entire list got cleared out. now i need to redo everything
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] m3lover1:
Yep likewise for me too. And it had me install something called PDP Engine, but even after installing that didn't work
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] dansan382:
run PDP engine, make sure it installs 100% and is configured as admin. it all seems very sketch but once i did that, disabling worked

BK package disabler isn't working well!

Server problem!

Where could I find previous version?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] davjak:
I noticed the same... Update re-enabled all disabled packages.

I also noted I need to leave com.android.externalstorage enabled otherwise I cannot browse to set root directory of sdcard when trying to delete items off it.

This service is disabled by default if select the default 'Disable all Bloatware'
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] darksidesh007:
I did the same and it is hit and miss. Some of the apps are saying disabled others "magically' become re-enabled. Highly disappointed in this latest update.

I started looking for other similar apps and came across Package Disabler – App Freezer. Anyone find another replacement app or having tried that? Going to give him a day or so, before I change.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] magicoolje:
Same problem. Uninstall PD with clear data. Install again PD and plugin(activate admin) load your xml profile(if you saved your work:))) and then enjoy again your placebo app. Or just let the developer 1-2 days to solve the problem. For example today he release 2 updates. He work on it for sure. You can't make an omlete wihout breaking the eggs...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] bpdunsta:
My company requires that the phone use a passcode. After rebooting the phone, even though I don't use the Samsung keyboard, it is the keyboard that comes up to enter my password. Once the phone finishes booting, my keyboard of choice is back to the default.

Question: if I disable the Samung keyboard, will I still be able to enter a password during boot-up or will I essentially brick my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheDantee:
Like I stated when I posted the Xml.... Download another keyboard off the play store or use the Stock yes u will have no keyboard and need to boot into safe mode or reset the phone..... I downloaded the swift key beta as it uses less ram than the Stock Samsung Keyboard....
