Helloo there...

My Bluetooth & Device cant access after debloating.

What apps i've to re-install can make it normal?

Thx
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] iiD4x:
anyone knows if com.bbk.account safe to disable ?
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] AMDFenics:
any idea, why this doesn't work anymore? I can disable / uninstal certain apps, but after reboot they are back...

on my vivo y69 removing com.android.mms (not com.android.mms.service) messes up 3rd party sms applications, maybe add a note for it
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
I'll link your post to the OP.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] frcraig:
Additionally, make sure you don't turn off any permissions for the stock Vivo Messages app, just set your 3rd party Messaging app (ie Next SMS, Google Messages, Textra, etc.) as the default messaging app. If you turn off permissions from the stock app the 3rd party app won't work. One final bug - notifications for Google Messages won't display when your Vivo is in system wide dark mode, they only show up in light mode. I wrote to Google to ask them why and they told me to ask Vivo!

A quick feedback about removing VivoService (com.vivo.daemonService).

Pros:

- removes the developer mode persistent warning

Cons:

- Shake to start flashlight stops working

- volume down long press from standby stops working

- charging indicator not shown while charging

Note: who dont want that persistent warning but want to retain the cons, just clear the app data for vivoservice after every device restart and the warning goes away

Some additional safe to uninstall:

Cootek (region dependent touchpal crap): Uninstall all cootek as its a malware and google has banned it. More. find all packages by pm list packages | grep cootek then remove all. Sample:

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.cootek.smartinputv5.skin.keyboard_vivo_night

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.cootek.smartinputv5.language.oem.malayan

System Updater: in 2022 vivo has stopped pushing any type of update, so this option can be removed and frees up unnecesary calls to vivo servers and ram.

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.bbk.updater

Photo frame by BBK: pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.bbk.photoframewidget

(Vivo albums works even after removing this)
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] mevicks:
Can attest to this for Vivo NEX S as well. Infact never remove these two: com.android.mms.service com.android.mms > Also retain vivo messages app for google messages to work
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] ethereum:
Yeah
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] ISCYamil:

[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Saloei:
Thanks for the effort. I'll sit back on this for a bit before I dive in. My settings and apps are setup to how I like it. You're right: I don't want a factory reset.

For anyone looking to place Contact shortcuts on the Start screen and can't, here's the How-To:

Settings\More Settings\Permission Management\select - APPS\Contacts\Single Permission Settings\ enable DESKTOP SHORTCUTS

I had to dig deep for this one. I'm coming from Windows Phones, so I'm now familiarizing myself with Android.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] HUGO SAN:
Hi friend, tell me ...Do you have deleted mms app Vivo?? and using your Textra app ? When you receive a mms do you have a notificaction from you textra app ?? and not from default mms Vivo app ???
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
I deleted the stock VIVO Messaging app.

Yes, I do get notifications when I receive SMS/MMS messages with Textra
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Guy1731:
Thank you for this tip. But it doesn't work for me. Neither does it for my Sygic app. The switch to activate the shortcut allowing slides to the 'ON' position, but after a fraction of a second it goes back to 'OFF' by itself. Something must be blocking this setting...
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Saloei:
Have you tried it with the Permissions tab instead of the Apps tab? Also, try holding down an empty area on one of the Start screens so the Widgets menu will show up near the bottom. You might see a widget in there for your app. If that doesn't work keep exploring the phone. I'm new to this so I don't have all the answers.

Movin' On To The Oppo Find X....................

I have sold my VIVO NEX S & moving on to another phone (Oppo Find X).....

FWIW,I really like this phone,but,I try out phones on a frequent basis,otherwise,I could settle-in with this phone (perhaps the sequel will cure the wanderlust,LOL) :laugh:

Anyhoooooooo,if there is anyone here who would be interested in taking over as the OP of this thread,just state so here & P.M. me,I've already discussed the issue with a Moderator & they're on-board with this.

They just need to hear from both of us & the transition should be painless.

Of course,as the new OP,you would be free to edit the 1st post as you see fit. :good:

Install a third party launcher then adb shell into the device and uninstall the stock launcher.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] kwongwt:
Help! I can't see my Nex under adb devices. I have used adb to work with my Samsung S9+ and it was fine (just now I checked and the S9+ showed up under adb devices.

I have tried kill-server and start-server, changed to MTP, restart the phone and PC, used a different cable, revoke USB debug authorizations (when I reconnect it there was no message pop up on my phone to allow USB debug on this computer), even restore to default launcher, enabling OEM unlock.

** Finally got it working with a third computer... I wonder why.

Anything I've missed?
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] xreactx:
does anyone know which app is the "safety verification" that requires vivo cloud login to change accessibility settings?
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] kwongwt:
Thanks buddy for you efforts.

Do you have any idea which app is responsible for the pop up " xxx is trying to turn on/off wlan/bluetooth .. allow?"

I've uninstalled imanager, vivoServices and permission manager and the pop up is stilll there. m I am using an old app called Llama to automatically turn on/off wlan/bluetooth, change volume etc at home or office and every time it kicks in I have to manually allow the change. I wonder why there is only option for never allow and not always allow or "do not ask" again!
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Saloei:
This method doesn't delete any APPS if you're looking to acquire more storage space. This method only puts the apps into hibernation. As for increasing phone performance by removing VIVO apps, it doesn't matter. The phone is a quick to respond even with VIVO apps. Those apps don't hinder the phone's response.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
1) No one mentioned reclaiming storage space,the amount would be minimal at best,but,the point is moot.

2) The apps ARE effectively removed,you cannot reclaim or access the removed apps without a factory reset,so,for all intensive purposes,the apps removed by ADB are gone & not using RAM/Battery.

Read the link in the OP for more more details,as all have here & know the difference.

3) Call it what you will,but,any apps that are not consuming RAM/Battery,whether uninstalled,or,as you put it,into hibernation,would most certainly have a positive effect.

We're all open to a healthy discussion on the topic,whether you choose to use this guide or not,but,let me leave you with this:

Do you think the powers that be @ XDA-Developers would have published this guide if it didn't result in an improved user experience?
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
ok thank to the very usefull guide manage to unintall dozens of chinese bloatware and useless services:good:

But i have one question witch services(from both list at first page) unintalling it has to do with default app settings disappeard?

I'm i have to worry to somethng or ignore it and move in.

Thanks.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
Do you mean the ability to choose a default for all categories. (Browser/Messaging/Email/Camera/Photos/Music/Videos/etc......)

I haven't listed anything yet that would allow for the ability to choose a default to disappear.

But, if you're having a problem with defaults, install the app BETTER OPEN WITH from the Google Play Store :

https://www.androidpolice.com/2014/...th-makes-your-complete-action-dialog-smarter/

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aboutmycode.betteropenwith
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Yes that ability has disappeared.

Well the only stock app i'm using is stock SMS and dailer nothing else.

If won't have any issue with all other app set as default like music,browser etc before today event then I assume no problem.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
Any further suggestions from me would be blind guessing, as I no longer have the Vivo NEX, but, I can assure you that the list in the OP as it stands right now, shouldn't have any unwanted effect on choosing defaults.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
I've already intalled the third one app and works great as alternative solution:good:

So problem solved!!
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
Glad to hear it..... :good:

I started using that app on Samsung devices a long time ago, when their default selection was virtually non-existent/hidden/etc.... & I've kept it on all my devices ever since, as some "insurance" for comprehensive default choices.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
OMG just found that battery settings has also disappeard.:(

I've only remore battery saver mode nothing else,why all battery setting disapeard with that only action.

Edit: ok find a solution by long pressing setting icon at home screen and got app shortcut and then select battery and that way goes to battery menu.

Edit: i made eventually a hard reset and setup phone from begining and made with more caution uninstalling app.

Very good post
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] JBEVIA:
Hello, first thanks for the work.

An observation, if every time you update the list you put the same date to all the packages we do not know which is the last one that you have added, thanks again and greetings
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
Good point :good:

However,since I do not have the phone any more,I will be relying solely on input from the users here as to what & in which order they removed any packages.

I'm still looking for someone to take over the thread as the OP,to manage/edit the OP/List as they see fit.

I've already received pre-approval from the Admin/Moderator staff to make this happen,if anyone is interested,P.M. me............................. :good:
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] JBEVIA:
Hi, can these applications be removed? Thank you.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] JBEVIA:
There is also another one that the icon is a light bulb and it puts, skills that I would like to remove
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
After several days working I made safe conclusions that there’s no need to uninstall I manager to notification from various app works like a charm.

The only thing needs to to do is give all permission to all app enable background/notifications activity and disable battery optimization each app want.

That’s it only.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
The list from the OP includes some apps that are/may be harmless/seemingly inert,but,those very apps may have what one would consider too many permissions/connections to other apps,or,pinging info off your phone needlessly to the VIVO Mothership.

D/L the app SD Maid (pro) to get a true picture of all of the permissions/connectivity each app has on your phone.

For reference,compare some of the OPPO apps to the equivalent from Google & you'll see what I'm talking about.

I no longer have the phone,but,if memory serves me correctly,I think this very reason is why I decided to remove iManager.

FWIW,the stock keyboard,I'd be leery of using it...Even when you default to another keyboard,the stock one always pops-up when entering a password.

Simply hit the weird double-slanted line/icon on the upper L/H corner of the stock keyboard when this happens,to switch back to your default keyboard to fill out the password text field.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Yes I’ve noticed too the bug with the keyboard when typing password but really doesn’t bother me since it’s not every day typing passwords so I can deal with it.

Uninstalling i manager completely lost more settings segment at phone settings and maybe being useful if needed anything to do in the future.

My only concern was regarding notifications and since managing to work like a charm I’m completely satisfied without uninstalling i manager

Compared to OP5T it’s exactly the same permission give to same app but in a different approach.

By default Vivo has everything off regarding notifications/background activity(so you need manually give access and turn it on)on the other hand OnePlus has those at on out of the box.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] domi600:
You have to disable the setting with the safe keyboard. The point just below your default keyboard setting.

Btw., could anyone down- and upload the apks from the here for uninstalling listed apps? So perhaps it is possible to reinstall these apps. Or did somebody already?
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Previous page I’ve posted what I’ve uninstalled via adb.

All other Chinese app/bloatware I’ve uninstalled it via all list app at settings menu(15-20 was as I can remember)

I’ve uninstall Vivo store as well so it’s not possible to install all those Chinese app/bloatware.

Just don’t uninstall Vivo store to have access whenever you want.

Btw thanks for the tip I didn’t know that putting security input off will no longer had the Chinese keyboard pop up when entering password.:good:
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
I think I toggled that when I had the phone & it still persisted, perhaps the latest update fixed that.

If you're simply wanting a list of all of the apps, system & otherwise, see the link in the OP, it gives the app from the Google Play Store that you can use to see every app & the package name.

If you're wanting to re-install deleted system apps/APKs, IDK if re-installing is an option without root, less a factory reset.

I tried, just for the heck of it & they simply wouldn't install, hopefully, it was just user error on my part & someone else can be of assistance.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Saloei:
APK Extractor by developer Maher Prasad let's you backup the package before uninstalling. I used it for one app before uninstalling and installed back in and it worked. I backed up iManager apk but can't upload to XDA as 8MB is the the limit. Package size is 20MB.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] james11110:
apk provide

I was uninstall some apk and cause some problem...:confused:

1. gallery (com.vivo.gallery) then i can't change the wallpaper in main screen or unlock screen....

2. vivo service (com.vivo.daemonService) , this may cause unable to turn on always on screen.

Could someone provide APK file to me....? or tell me how to restore the app(not factory reset... please!!)

thanks a lot!!
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Saloei:
The can of worms has been opened
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
OP updated to include your findings & start a sub-list of things to not remove.

Your willingness to go into uncharted waters is to be commended,perhaps saving others of having to perform a factory reset.

Use App Extractor by Maher Prasad found in the App Store to back up your apk before you uninstall.

I'm sure it's posted here in the NEX forums somewhere,but,this app is a good one to keep on board,it'll make finding packages a breeze:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ubqsoft.sec01

I forget off the top of my head... But you can install APK Inspector and locate the Funtouch launcher. It will tell you the package name at the bottom.

[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Linzarni Shwe:
I love it.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] bigbyte.me:
Can you please share the gallery app for me as well.. else i have to resort to factory reset.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
Even if you have a copy of the .apk,I don't think it's possible to navigate to the file/folder where it needs to be installed w/o root access.

If you need the stock gallery app back,more than likely you're gonna need to do a factory reset to restore it.

It sucks,I know,no one likes to do a factory reset,perhaps there's some decent backup tools (apps) in the Google Play store,or for use w/a PC/MAC.

I'm not sure if Google's backup/restore option is available/works on phones that don't have Google services pre-installed in the firmware.

I'd suggest a backup app,but,until recently (with a US phone,utilizing Google's restore backup) I've never used a backup of any kind on a stock-unrooted phone.

Again,too bad this phone doesn't have root/TWRP,a backup is a breeze & takes the chance/consequences element out of deleting/removing system apps.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Saloei:
Check your private messages. I sent you the link. Poster named Hoshinavi, here at the forums, was successful with the installation of the app. If you run into problems, look him up and he can further guide you with what he did.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
Why not just post the procedure here,to share with everyone?
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Saloei:
I've never uninstalled the app, so I never installed it. Hoshinavi downloaded the app and installed it. I don't know where he saved it on his phone or how he did it, but he was successful. Another poster here who also downloaded the same app wasn't successful. Something was obviously different with whatever actions they made. It's also possible permission settings were different for both of them.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
That's my point from my previous posts,that w/o root,you're not gonna be able to re-install a system app simply by d/l the .apk.

Without root,your only option is a factory reset.

3rd party hearsay w/o any sources/links rings hollow,IDK why you bothered to counter my assertion without any proof,or a method to restore.

It doesn't have to be that exact app,any system app applies here,so,until you can show a method that works w/o root,I call Major B.S.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Saloei:
The fact that someone installed it without root on his Vivo Nex is PROOF that it can be done. I don't post comments to counter your assertions. To say you need a root is in itself No PROOF and empty in your assertion as someone here already installed the app with no root. It's best to just let the person download the app and try as its already been done.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
You keep saying it's been done, so, give an example of ANY system app that can be re-installed without root, pick one, any of 'em, & verify it.

Use a screen recording app & show us how it's accomplished, since you're so confident it can be done...
