Thanks for this.

I bought the standard version, using your list resulted in some weird results, errors and slow downs.

But I'm making my way through them all at the moment to find out which I can disable.

Using Nova too now and everything seems a bit smoother.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] TiTiB:
I was/am using Nova and never took into account what the changes would do to the default launcher.

Did you use adb, the disabler app, other? I ask because Package Disabler Pro quit working.

Thanks

I did find an alternative to Package Disabler Pro - CCSWE App Manager (SAMSUNG). I haven’t bought the full version yet as I’m still waiting for the PDP developers to fix their app . . .

Package disabler Pro is live again on their website. The caveat being you have to pay for it. Again.

What exactly have you disabled so far?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] TiTiB:
I'd go with the 'disabledpackages133-OK' list at https://bit.ly/2VXRoLt

I successfully disabled a few other apps but don't have a list, and can't remember.

I'll update the OP to reflect this dev's practices. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Jiol:
thank you for sharing it
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] TiTiB:
Been using the CSWE Pro app, and am very happy with it. Though, since I rooted, disabling doesn't really require a dedicated/paid app, it makes the process smoother/quicker/easier, imo.

BTW, the dev is very responsive, unlike the makers of Package Disabler Pro+ (Samsung) who have been essentially deaf to any requests.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Catmobile:
Developers of package disablers apps, need to renew their license from Samsung every 3 months. This wouldn't be a problem if Samsung didn't have strict policy.

Policy of Samsung is that using KNOX to disable packages officially is for Business to Business only. And not for standard end-users. Included here a link to why these applications are stopping to function if developer doesn't get a new license key from Samsung its self.

In a business situation an administrator uses KNOX to control remotely all company phones for example. This administrator of the company must also follow the license policy. A company is a Business to Business and won't have the problem that willing package disablers for standard consumers have.

Here below, see how incredibly difficult it is to do this for consumers. Samsung does tolerate it for a time, then forces such app revoked. Customers that paid money for such application will notice it no longer works or is removed.

Hence I advise the ADB method which always works.

Debloat without root and ADB technical thread

https://xdaforums.com/tab-s5e/help/debloat-adb-shell-root-t3958204

( Remember you need the topic that brought you here to know which package you want to disable, so read the thread that brought you here too! )

Here instructions to build a package disabler app yourself, see the license that is enforced by Samsung towards consumers.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s10/themes/adhell-3-knox-t3908002

In the past even open source code using KNOX was forced by law to be taken offline from e.g. Github.

Build the app yourself and remember, the license must be renewed every 3 months, the package name may only be used a limited number of times,...

At Reddit you also could find developers creating this kind of software, fighting and accusing each other of continuously leaving customers with not functional software, because Samsung revoked their license after discovering it was sold to normal non corporate users.

See the link, or Google the fights at Reddit about package disablers.

With this kind of software and KNOX one has full control of your device remotely. So they accused developers of these hit and cash money a short time of more.

It is meant for business corporation administration, Samsung enforces it very strictly.

That's told if you buy it anywhere, it will by definition work only for limited time.

Very useful information, thank you!

[MENTION=9607617]Catmobile[/MENTION] what's the difference between your way and pm disable-user --user 0 <package> ? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Catmobile:
Method you describe might be best, looked it up, updated my post.

Thanks for posting,

This XDA tutorial below might be the safest method described in following link

https://www.xda-developers.com/disable-system-app-bloatware-android/

That tutorial only disables a package, my tutorial uninstalls a package and I am not entirely sure that without factory reset my tutorial works.

EDIT 1: I included your comparison and updated my post since the method you point out is much safer in case one wants a package back to be enabled again.

EDIT 2: The difference is now explained and my post says how to DISABLE ONLY or UNINSTALL PERMANENTLY until factory reset.

Question

I wanted to ask too if "DisabledPackages133-OK.xml" is the right file for debloating?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] TiTiB:
I removed one package because of potential/probable problems—com.samsung.android.kgclient. Freezing this can lock up tablet, so it's now '...132-OK'. I went beyond this, but this is a good place to start (be sure to review packages, right??).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] scaramonga:
I notice the CCSWE App Manager Pro app is now using a 'blacklist', presumably to keep Samsung happy?, and there are certain things that now cant be disabled, knox being one of them.

Any way to edit this blacklist?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] TiTiB:
Short answer, no. Keep in mind that using adb *anything* can be disabled.

From talking with the dev about CCSWE the 'blacklist' is there to keep people from locking up their devices. I, in fact, asked him to add the 'kgclient' package because, from personal experience, freezing it will make you have to re-install stock.

CCSWE is the most convenient way that I've found to freeze apps—I use it even though I can do the same thing with 3C Toolbox, for instance—but there are other ways. On my unrooted phone I use FreezZ, whuch is available on F-Droid. And of course, good ole adb.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] dommels:

"uninstall" / "reinstall" apps without factory resetting

I've been using the "adb pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package_name>" method for years, and discovered through trial and error that there's no need to do a factory reset the in order to re-enable the "uninstalled" apps. Contrary to popular belief, the "pm uninstall" command doesn't actually erase the app's apk, rather just hides it from the app manager. Therefore "uninstalled" apps can be "reinstalled" individually using the following method, without the need for a factory reset.

First, make a make a backup list of all your currently installed apps via ADB:

adb shell pm list packages -f >C:\AppList.txt

For example, let's "uninstall" the Samsung Smart Switch app which can be found in the above AppList.txt file as

/system/preload/SmartSwitch/SmartSwitch.apk=com.sec.android.easyMover

Sometimes the app's name matches the package/file name perfectly, sometimes they are a little different and takes a bit of guessing.

The package name of the Samsung Smart Switch app is "com.sec.android.easyMover", with its path and file name "/system/preload/SmartSwitch/SmartSwitch.apk", as you can see at least the path and file name contains the name of the app.

To disable it via the "uninstall" command, enter:

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package/component>

Example:

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sec.android.easyMover

OR

adb shell cmd package uninstall -k --user 0 com.sec.android.easyMover

Now, to re-enable the above "uninstalled" app or any other specific one without a factory reset, simply copy and paste the app's package name from the AppList.txt into this command:

adb shell cmd package install-existing <package/component>

Example:

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.sec.android.easyMover

OR

Copy and paste the app's path and file name from the AppList.txt into the "install" command, like this:

adb shell pm install -d -r --user 0 <app's_path/file_name)>

Example:

adb shell pm install -d -r --user 0 /system/preload/SmartSwitch/SmartSwitch.apk

OR

adb shell cmd package install -d -r --user 0 /system/preload/SmartSwitch/SmartSwitch.apk

We are using the "pm" package manager to simply reinstall the app from its current location which can be easily found in the previously prepared AppList.txt file.

The reason for including two slightly different versions of the commands, is to have a backup method in case one of them fails.

The "-d -r" options is to allow replacement of existing applications and version code downgrading.

The advantage of using the "uninstall"/"install" method is that there's no need to purchase any package disabler apps, and it works even on non-rooted devices, plus you may even learn something.

Hope this might come in handy for some. ;)

Thanks! I really appreciate when someone provides useful, informative, educational information. It is really what xda is all about.

Hi Berth666,

i used your batch on a completed new SM-T720 i bought today. i just enabled adb on the tablet and started the batch. Now it stuck in "Tablet will be started". I can get in the settings but i cannot see the apps. Also after a restart. Do i have to reset to factory settings or can i fix this?

i changed every disable-user to enable and the launcher is back again.

But how can i figure out what the problem is?

Used SuperFreeZZ from F-Droid in automatic way. Seems good so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Berth666:
Do I understand right, that you get some force close?

Or where do you get the "tablet will be started" screen? Directly after the home screen pops up?

Did you read, that I also removed the Samsung launcher? Do you have another one?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] loretta1980:
Hi Berth666,

No, i didn't read, that you disabled the launcher :). That explains it of course.

Thanx a lot.

Which launcher do you use? I don't find the Nova Launcher in F-Droid.

Btw. :Are you able to use Aurora Store with anonym Login? I just get login failed, but it works on my SM-T520, so i think something is still blocking this.

I've got a brand new tab S5e, did debloating speed up your tab ?

I'm wondering if it's worth doing it.

Hi dude,

Is the use of SuperFreeZZ mandatory ?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] Berth666:
[MENTION=6367939]loretta1980[/MENTION]: I use the Nova launcher, but downloaded from playstore.

You can directly download it from their website, too : http://novalauncher.com/

http://teslacoilsw.com/tesladirect/download.pl?packageName=com.teslacoilsw.launcher

I don't use aurora store, so can't say something about that

[MENTION=3715146]alucard_xs[/MENTION], it feels a bit snappier (I think) and has got a better deep sleep. Consuming 0,1% per hour. It also saves about 500mb from storage.

I don't think SuperFreeZZ is neccesary.. I don't use it
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion] loretta1980:
"Is the use of SuperFreeZZ mandatory ?"

In SuperFreeZZ i think, you don't see every app that is running in background. So the only way to freeze every app from the list of Berth666 is with a PC and adb.

But for people without a pc, it would be cool, if there would be a function in SuperFreeZZ, to add lines like the ones of Berth666 via copy and paste.

At the moment, i like this debloated version of the stock firmware. Apps like Sky go are running here in germany. That never worked on Linage

XDA-Labs tool that simplifies debloating; easy enough for a noobie

I just debloated my S5e using AppManager by RealVoxel. I highly recommend it! It works with or without root. I used it without root, which requires connecting to a computer and using Shizuku. AppManager (too modestly named) has an excellent, simple GUI and lets you point and click to uninstall, disable, re-install, etc. any app, including system apps.

I'm unskilled at command line and found it quite easy.

I hope someone finds this post helpful!

(BTW, I wanted to give a glowing review for AppManager and can't see how. If anyone wants to PM me about where I go to post a review of an app in XDA Labs, I'd appreciate it. Or if you know I can't post a review -- like because I don't have 10 posts yet -- that would be helpful. I've searched and read, or at least skimmed, the XDA New User Guide, and I can't find anything relevant.)

I would also highly appreciate if someone could answer these questions. Right now my tablet is not able to update to Android 10 and I am not sure if it has to do with the debloating (and deactivating some service responsible for software update). And I also can not update my S5e with "smart switch" manually because it always tells my to charge my battery first (despite being fully charged; I guess it is because the service for device optimization is deactivated).

Does anyone of you know the packages for software update and device optimization? Or was anyone of you able to get and install the Anrdoid 10 OTA update after applying the whole debloating list from #59?
