Try going into settings then Apps then show system apps. See if App Gallery is in the list and if it is uninstall it from there.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] hoangtu2410:
did it before ask , there is no app gallery here
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] ajsmsg78:
You will need the same or newer version of the original app gallery you disabled to be able to install it.

Hiboard

Can you tell me which one in the excel sheet related to hiboard
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Phaze1585:
You listed that the always on display isnt safe to uninstall but, what if I dont want my display to be always on? Can I just uninstall it without it hurting the phone?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] mai55:
Only a full reset will help. gallery is a system application, and installing it requires root

When trying to install a gallery application, you will receive a warning that "no digital signature" or that "a newer version is already installed"

via adb you do not delete the application from the system, only from user settings
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] ajsmsg78:
You can if you want but I use it so I don't remove it.

I just got my EVR-ALOO. It says that in order to uninstall apps using ADB, I have to register a Huawei account. Is there a way to bypass that?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Hack2geo:
After removing several (not all) of the items marked 'Yes', my Google Messaging (Messages) is not working. When I launch it, the screen flashes and then returns to the apps list. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling it from the Play Store, same result. Any ideas, save for a factory reset?

Thanks.

Turns out Contacts and WhatsApp are also behaving in the same way, and the google Dialer app shows no contacts. Factory reset looking like my only option.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Phaze1585:
If you've already tried reinstalling the appropriate apps and it still isnt functioning properly, I think you have no other choice but to factory reset.

Did everyone that uninstalled apps via ADB sign up for a Huaewi ID? Cause my phone tell me that I cant turn on USB debugging wuthout doing this. Any ideas or a work around for this?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Phaze1585:
I uninstalled all the apps higlighted in green and now whenever I go into my settings menu it closes out immediately. I thought clearing the cache would fix this but, I was wrong, it just seemed to make things worse. Gesture navigation has been disabled and I cant resize Gboard (which doesnt seem to make sense). Help, anyone.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] ajsmsg78:
I'm not sure what app you removed but I think you may have accidentally removed one that was in red. I removed everything in green and about 10-15 more apps and my settings and Gboard are fine. Did you end up figuring it out?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Phaze1585:
I havent figured out whats up with the settings menu. Im just going to wait till there is an update and hope that will fix it. I dont feel like factory resetting my phone just yet.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] def-g:
can you give detailed instructions? Got USB debugging on. Do you just leave phone on or reboot to fastboot mode? Comming from Pixel 2 XL. Process was different.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] ajsmsg78:
Just leave phone on. When USB debugging is turned on and you plug the phone in you'll get a prompt on the phone when you type in adb shell. You have to allow the prompt and check always allow connections to this computer. The you're good to go.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] def-g:
Where do I open the CMD prompt? In the ADB Fastboot folder or Platform Tools? And Fastboot device command still work on this phone?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] ajsmsg78:
Go in the platform tools where adb.exe is located and hold in shift and right click on an empty area and choose Open command prompt here, then run the commands.

Periodically. But no too much of an annoyance

---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------

The main ones where Hisearch, HiBoard, and the Huawei Music player. As these have annoying notifications or where default apps. Removed some others like wallet and movies and a few others. The rest you don't notice at all.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] ET PHX:
Thank You!!

This is a simple but huge THANK YOU to ajsmsg78 for his detailed post. I have a EVR-L29 and struggled to remove the swiftkeyboard in ADB. Great post and THANKS for sharing with Mate 20X owners.:)
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Rudolpht:
A simple but huge ditto!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] BB55:
Going through posts before removing anything on my AL-00. Looking at your list I'm not sure what the first entry is (com.huawei.android.chr).

I see it's also listed in ajsmsg78's spreadsheet for the EVR-L29 but there it's marked red (do not remove).
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Rudolpht:
Definitely follow ajmsg78's spreadsheet over mine. The list here is what I used after I unlocked the bootloader wiping me back to initial configuration, mostly because I was removing things initial before the AJ lidst. . In retrospect I will pull it off my list but don't think I'm feeling ill effects. .

I believe com.huawei.android.chr may have something to do with Chromecast capability. Can anyone confirm?

Hi Guys

I Have EVR-AL00

I deleted every thing I dont want .

The only problem I was trying to uninstall huawei

masseging app and replace it with google massage

By mistake I give adb wrong commond .

com.android.mms.service any one know how to get

it back? is this packeg important ? well my phone well damage ?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] ajsmsg78:
I always removed HwChr in the past and never had any issues so you can most likely remove it. I left it red in case it is in use by something in EMUI 9 and I didn't want anyone screwing up their phones. If you remove it and don't see any ill effects I'll change it to safe to remove.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] BB55:
Many thanks for the propsal but not sure about the process. If as suggested HwChr may be something to do with Chromecast (which I do not use) I may not see any I'll effect. But I also tend to keep phones long term so would not want to delete a feature that I may want in the future.

As a newbie, my own activity (deleting stuff) will always be guided by members like you who can provide an explanation of what stuff does and/or my own judgement regarding stuff that I know I do not want to keep or change (eg the stock launcher).
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] ajsmsg78:
I don't think it has anything to do with Chromecast as my old Mediapad X2 didn't have that file in the International version, only in the Chinese version.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] rainbow99:
hi can anyone help to test if the following codes work for your Mate 20X? The first code works for me but not the second one. Wondering if it's because of some of the packages removed. Thanks :).

Hii

is there a way to pull mate20x launcher?

i want to try out nova on my phone but it case i dont like it, i want to install the stock launcher back, can i do so?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] ajsmsg78:
Nova is worlds ahead of the Huawei Launcher. Why anyone would want to use the stock Launcher is beyond me. If you're rooted that's easy, if you're not you'll need to find the APK or pull it from the stock ROM but I'm not sure if you can install it like a regular APK.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] def-g:
I like the stock launcher. Does what I need. Has a few bugs. But they all do to some extent. And like the Themes also.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] desantim:
One added bonus removing the stock launcher for me (L29) is I hated the recent apps view, there was no way to lock an app in memory and it was slow. I had been using Nova without entirely removing the stock launcher and it continued showing the stock launcher recents. After removing the stock launcher and rebooting, I have the old vertical android recents list along with the lock in memory function.

And unless I'm crazy, my battery life has seemed to improve markedly as well removing the stock launcher.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Zanr Zij:
I removed many stock apps/modules but accidently removed Files Manager. How to re-install it without factory reset? Of course I'm using another file manager but still want use both

[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] BB55:
I'm still working on my aloo. Using app inspector I see three packages associated with huawei share:

1. com.huawei.android.instantshare

2. com.huawei.pcassistant

3. com.huawei.android.internal.app

I see from your spreadsheets that you suggest it is not safe to remove number 3. Would appreciate any further thoughts/comments about its removal.

There are a few huawei apps that I will be keeping but think I recall reading somewhere that this would mean I must also keep the huawei app store on the phone else the apps I keep would not receive future updates. That sounds a bit odd to me but as a newbie to android I need advice from someone much more experienced - like you ?.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] ajsmsg78:
I wasn't sure about internal.app package so I marked it as not safe. If you want to be able to login to download themes, Huawei App updates etc you'll have to keep hwid and appgallery installed.

Personally I don't use any of the Huawei Apps so I removed almost all of them except Themes.

Removing stock launcher with adb

[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
Guys, what am i missing here ? :eek:

I have the proper ADB Driver installed, USB Debbuging set to ON, Debug in Charge Mode Only as well... still no recognized comands...
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] freezingpoint:
You need to type in adb shell first
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
Thank you mate... still ... :eek::eek:

First time using a Huawei Device... never had any problems with my other Phones ( Mi Mix and LeTv Le Max X900 ) in ADB Shell ... What the heck is going on with this Huawei ? :(
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] ajsmsg78:
You need to go into developer options and enable USB debugging first, then plug the phone in. On the phone's screen you'll see a USB Debugging Prompt which you have to allow. Make sure you check the Always Allow box so you don't have allow it in the future. Then type in the commands that I listed at the top right of the spreadsheet
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
Thanks mate, USB Debug is set to ON, ( MTP ) Device Option as well. The strange thing is that when i plug the phone into the computer, nothing happens... there's nothing happens on the Phone Screen, no window appear so i can set and allow the debugging... :eek::eek:

I have this strange problem with the USB Driver ADB Interface... I tried every driver available ( ADB Installer, ADB USB Device Driver, Google USB driver from SDK Tools )... none of them work... same Error 10 Code...
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] ajsmsg78:
Try going into your C Drive (assuming you have a Windows PC) and into Users, your username, then delete the .android folder then plug the phone in again and try. Make sure in Device Manager your phone shows up under Android Phone as Android Composite ADB Interface.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
Will do this right now and come back with an update in a few moments...

EDIT : Same Error 10 Code... I might get crazy... i tried everything.... still that Error 10 Code again and again...

PS : You are writing with White Font and is very hard for me to distinguish what you write... :eek:
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] ajsmsg78:
I'm sorry about the font. I use the dark XDA theme and it writes black on black text so I have to change it to white. Ever since XDA redesigned their website they still haven't fixed it. Did you install HiSuite? It comes with the proper drivers.

Hello I would like to restore Huawei Emui original launcher.. Is it possible to find the original file or apk?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] rowihel2012:
Piece of cake :fingers-crossed:

1. Change the Huawei app gallery to China and search "華為桌面”, it will be installed as system app.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
Finally, i manage to connect the phone in ADB Mode and remove some of the apps...

What it worked for me was this :

1 - Connect the phone via USB

2 - Install Google ADB Composite Driver

2 - Turn On USB Debugging and Set the Transfer Type to MIDI ( was the only way the phone give me the fingerprint to connect to PC )

I manage to remove most of the bloatware ( China Version AL-00 ), however, i'm trying to uninstall some of the apps and i get the following error in ADB Console :

Failure [ not installed for 0 ]

Some of the apps that i'm getting this error while trying to uninstall :

com.huawei.FloatTasks

com.huawei.appmarket

etc

PS : I have made a list with all the bloatware that come installed by default in China Version AL-00. Mostly of them are identical with the L-29, except for the GApps, which me, i don't use any of them, except Gboard, PlayStore, Youtube.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] ajsmsg78:
When you type in the package names they are case sensitive. Make sure you type in FloatTasks and not floattasks.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
Done that, it does the same :(
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] G-FACE:
Did you managed to fix your problem? I have exactly the same problem. All apps i removed are listed as safe in all guides i found.

My Settings are just closing after a second, it even does not show FC msg.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
I had this strange problem as well. It's the emergency.apk . If you remove it, it will crash your Seetings. Make sure you do not remove Emergency.apk
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] rainbow99:
I had to factory reset my phone. Can't take it that the settings kept failing, although a workaround is to add a settings widget from Nova. Accessing settings from the latter will not crash but still inconvenient

[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] G-FACE:

I would say that it's userdictionary that could be the one that's causing the settings issue.

I only have com.huawei.trustagent remaining which is the Smart Unlock feature on the phone.
