[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheDantee:
Hey Guys, so basically this guide is going to cover the fact of getting more performance/battery life out of your S8+ by running a more stock Android Like Experience.... Whether your like myself and prefer stock android over ****ty touch wiz or just want your device less debated and to perform smoother than this is for you!

For Starters I would like to point out that you will need to buy 1 app which has a 5 day refund policy if you do not like it.... So the reason this works without root is because u can disable apps now if you have the Exynos models with the root you will not need this app....

I have disabled Basically all of the Stock Samsung Apps and replaced with the following Google Apps.... Now the keyboard is SwiftKey however you are welcome to use the Google keyboard if you prefer it better.... You should install these before you download the. Xml below.... Now you cant get Google dialer or Google contacts off the play store so u must download it off XDA... The Reason we use Google version of these apps vs Samsung's pre-installed ones is because Samsung's apps tend to use more ram and Googles app set it basically what stock Android uses.... Nova Launcher is also a very stock Android Like launcher that myself and others prefer to use on all of our Android devices...

Once you have each of those we can move onto the next step... You will now need to download the app I mentioned before that you have to pay for. You can download that here

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro&hl=en

and the PD Engine from here

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mlsplit.samsungservice&hl=en

For this app it will tell you do download something called PD Engine so download that.... Once you load up the app u will need to give it administrator privileges that way it can disable all the apps.... After this is completed and u are on the main screen u can download the XML listed below this post to your phone, and in the Package Disabler Pro App click the 3 dots in the top right corner then click on import from XML and select the file you just downloaded from here. Go back to your home screen and you should see all the Samsung Apps missing as well as Device Maintenance missing from settings.... Note that Face Recognition and Iris is disabled so if you want those turned on read below. You may bow restart your device and you should feel the phone running a lot smoother especially when running multiple apps.... This gives you more of a Google Stock Android Experience for those like myself that prefer it over all the ****ty Samsung bloat apps.... All the Google Apps you download earlier are your replacement for the Samsung apps that are now disabled... Bixby has also been disabled so that button with no longer work, if you want that on look up Bixby in package Disabler pro and uncheck all the boxes...

Turn On Face/Iris Scanner

In the Package Disabler app search for these and uncheck the boxes

Iris

com.sec.factory.iris.usercamera

com.samsung.android.server.iris

Face

com.samsung.faceservice

com.samsung.android.bio.face.service

If you want to use Google Camera or Open Camera

Make sure to Disable com.sec.android.app.camera and the addons for the stock camera app being

com.sec.factory.camera

com.samsung.android.app.camera.sticker.facear.preload

com.samsung.android.app.camera.sticker.stamp.preload

Other Cool Tweaks to Check out

Shortcutter (Basically removes the Navigation bar and Top Panel from the screen until u swipe up from the bottom or top to see them, this is called immersive mode and is very sweet! Also shows ram usage in the Notification panel) You Can check out a guide from [MENTION=2461839]ad44891[/MENTION]
