Huawei File Manager App

Hello guys,

Firstly, thanks for these tips.

I would like to remove the built-in app File Manager named 'Files' since EMUI asked to me to update it, and by the way create a Huawei account - that I don't want and disturbs me.

So do you think that we can 'desinstall' this com.huawei.hidisk, without risk?

I add that I've already installed another app (MiX).

Thank you for your answer!

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
There is no problem if you remove it, as long as you have another file exploer (as you said you allready installed one). If you remove it, you can always reinstall it from apkmirror . In order to remove it, you need to use ADB and enter this command (before uninstall from settings / app any file updates, if they):

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.hidisk

In order to restore it, rename the downloaded one from apkmirror as above and get this command in ADB:

adb shell pm install-existing com.huawei.hidisk
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Thank you for your answer. I desinstalled Files and its works like a charm :o

I have two other potential bloatware : first is com.google.ar.core , which is the Google play services for AR (augmented realty). I threw it, no needed.

The second is more questionning, it's com.google.android.tts,the google vocal synthesis.

Can we remove it without issu? I don't use the vocal synthesis, but I 'm wondering if other app don't need it like for writing messages by spelling, or for example Babbel for practicing foreign languages by the micro?

Thank you again and good afternoon!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
I have removed too the ar core from google adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.ar.core and had no issues and Google TTS (i don't use it, but it's exactlly for what you've wrote, writing messages or saying outloud caller id) . Others apps that need an tts will install theirs or promt you to install Google tts, if needed. So you can remove that one too adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.tts
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Great, I'm going to do it.

One last thing, the unique soft that I can't remove is Huawei Smart Diagnosis, whose the package name is com.huawei.hwdetectrepair.

Within the adb console, it tells me 'success' when I attempt to uninstall it, but at each reboot it's always there.

It's not so disturbing, but it's pity.

Bye and a big thanks again!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Maybe it's updated itself from Google Playstore or auto update. Check for updatess in Settings/Apps/Apps/3 dots upper right/show system process/Smart Diagnosis. Force stop and retry again using adb. If fails, it means that we can't disable it after setting up phone and connecting it to internet, but prior connecting it to internet (just my guess, gonna test it next time i install dload firmware or reset my device) :).
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Hey, I tried your solution but it didn't work. I still have this app and can't discard it.... I well stopped the process within the system parameters and proceeded to the uninstallation.

What's a shame, I think we did the best, and I'm thankfull towards you.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Well, i'll see if it can be removed next time i reset my phone and let u know if it worked removing from start the app :highfive:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Rowisi:
Works Great on Huawei Y5 :)

Thank you!

I want also to delete `com.huawei.firstbootinfo` Its always connecting and syncing with Huawei servers and I don't know why.

Is it safe to delete it?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
I'm glad i could helped you with my guide. About firstbootinfo, don't remove it, it's a file system needed by your phone in order to sync with Huawei servers and check for apps updates, software updates and other acces for your phone. It will get you errors, so better leave it.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Rowisi:
Understood, Thank you :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Glad i could help you, :highfive:. Enjoy your bloatware free device now :cool:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] waltafari:
Thanks SilviuO. I can't wait to start de-bloating my phone!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Glad to be helpfull, m8. And don't forget to uninstall first any updates of the bloatware apps before removing them through ADB if your phone is allready set up. No need to uninstall any updates if you're doing it after Factory Reset :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Rowisi:
I have uninstalled them directly through ADB without uninstalling updates. Are there any side effects?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Nope, no side effects, just that sometimes it just removes the updates without removing the preinstalled app and needs to be removed twice or after clearing cache apps :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Rowisi:
Alright, thank you for the quick reply :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
?, enjoy your less bloatwared device ?

How to reinstall Huawei Notepad?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Try installing as a normal apk the one i've attached or by using ADB commands adb shell pm install-existing com.example.android.notepad
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] roejler:
EDIT: I found the solution. I had uninstalled "com.huawei.systemmanager", i thought it was only a optimizing tool but it seems to have a bigger impact.

I used your advice on the Huawei launcher to reinstall it and that worked. ?

Hi!

I have successfully removed all unwanted apps thanks to your guide.

But now a have a little issue.

All apps i start get stuck on the recent apps screen.

The little padlock is locked and i can unlock it on all the apps and swipe away with them or use the clear all apps button. But when i toggle recent apps again they are all back.

And the more apps i start the more they become in recent apps.

Any thoughts?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Sry for delay, m8, i'm on a business trip and it's harder to keep in pace :p. I've seen you've managed to get sort it, glad you've post your result here, in case other users will proceed (by mistake or no) as you did.

Cheers,

SilviuO
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Calvin4all:
Hi,

with the commands from page 1 i was able to uninstall a lot of bloatware apps successfully.

But as soon as i reboot several of these apps re-appear :eek:

Did i miss to uninstall some essential huawei app that is responsible for the magic resurrection of these apps? (e.g. com.facebook.katana or the amazon app re-appeared)

Thank you in advance
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Hi m8, they reapear because were updated regarfless the factory app. Before removing them, you should remove manually from Settings/Apps any update of apps and then try again. If they reapear, try to disable them frommsame place, should have 0 bits and won't affect you.

I ussualy do this removal first time i set up my phone (after Factory Reset or update using dload firmware or get a new Huawei device). I don't connect to any internet so those apps can't update themselves and enable Developer option / USB debugging then after i remove unwanted apps, i set up my phone (Google account and rest of it).
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Calvin4all:
Hm.. i think that's what i did, since i always first-install phones without any sim or wifi. Then i uninstalled the unnecessary apps and then set up internet connection. But i missed to deactivate automatic updates on playstore for sure, since i usually operate google-less.. Ok, i guess i just have to try harder. :D

So i remove all updates and deactivate automatic updates, then start 2nd round of deinstallation ..

Thanks!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Let me know how it worked for you. Every experience shared it's helpfull for users in search of answers for their simillar problems ?.

Hi friends , Is there an option to stop annoying system update notifications?

I have stopped all possible options and internet access both on mobile data and on wireless internet, but still have messages several times a day.

thanks in advance
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Hi m8,

Try by doing those steps bellow:

1. Disable from Software updates both options (Auto download & Update overnight)

2. Settings/Apps/Apps/Software Update/Storage/Clear Cache&Data/Force Stop

3. If needed, repeat step 1.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Sharkybg:
I have already tried this method several times, but there are still messages coming out.

Any other ideas?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
If the message is ''Restart to install'', it means that it already downloaded the update to the system partition and is waiting for user approval to install or already downloaded parts of the update and awaits for user input.

I can't think of other method rather then Factory Reset, then without setting up internet and without SIM inside do the steps i've mentioned you in my previous post :rolleyes:

hi, whats system wide dark mode does?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
That command should enable all apps on black, but atm Huawei still didn't introduced in EMUI 10 that option, as they promised :rolleyes:

I tried to remove FILES ( file manager as i use MiX ) using this command in shell mode.

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.hidisk

but it throws me an error and it fails-- how do i remove it ?

( HWVOG:/ $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.hidisk

Failure [DELETE_FAILED_DEVICE_POLICY_MANAGER] )

what apk is this? com.android.storagemanager - Is the interface to the systems storage service (i use file explorer)

btw thanks for info. removed several unwanted apps.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Hi m8,

For hidisk, first try to uninstall any updates, then disable it+reboot phone. Reenable it, enter ADB and try again removing.

com.android.storagemanager - is the interface to the systems storage service. The storage manager handles storage-related items such as Opaque Binary Blobs (OBBs). OBBs contain a filesystem that maybe be encrypted on disk and mounted on-demand from an application. OBBs are a good way of providing large amounts of binary assets without packaging them into APKs as they may be multiple gigabytes in size.

Silviu, how can I reinstall the default video playing app? I cannot view videos in Gallery and don't wanna use VLC .

Can you please give me the ADB command? Thanks!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
adb shell pm install-existing com.huawei.himovie.overseas

But i think that for Huawei video aplication you will need for the apk. I don't have it so i can extract it right now (i use VLC on all phones) so if it's not working without apk, use the one from here, don't know if it's the same as on EMUI 10,but you can try.

If not, maybe someone can extract it from system (using this app) and share it for you here ;)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Andrei Morar:
Thanks for reply! I reinstalled it via Apk Mirror. It worked perfectly!!!

Have a fab weekend!

I lose the ability to like/save lockscreen images from magazine unlock. Not sure which cmd disables it.

Anyone experience this?

Thank you
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Don't know what you removed and can't reproduce your problem, so the only thing i can do is give you the app so you can reinstall it. If your problem is still there, you'll have to reset device in order to re-add the removed option you can't remember ;)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] fmboots:
Hi. I didnt uninstall that app. The only way to find out whats causing it is to uninstall the items from your list, one at time after every reboot but im losing the will to live just thinking about that :D

Thank very much for your help and the debloat list. :good:

UPDATE:

I re-installed com.huawei.search (accidentally debloated it) now i can save and like magazine unlock screen wallapers. Just luck i guess. Thanks again SilviuO.

Hi!

"settings put secure ui_night_mode 2 - enable system-wide dark mode

settings put secure ui_night_mode 1 – disable system-wide dark mode"

is not working in android 10?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Hi m8,

It was working in beta firmware, for now it seems Huawei removed system wide dark mode even from developer options. We'll have to wait for the next firmware which will bring semnificative improvements to device (maybe April or May one).
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] robalm:
Thank you brother.

So im new with Huawei p30 pro, almost 3 year user of Samsung s8.

Something i have problem with (that worked fine on my s8).

Youtube vanced randomly stops when i have it playing in background with Headphones. And when i open it, it relaunch.

My first thought whas the aggressive batteri saving of huawei, so turnning all i can think of "ignore battery optimization" "appstart manuell" it still random close.

I found one possibly cause called "PowerGenie" https://www.google.com/search?q=Pow...hrome..69i57j69i60l2&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

So i removed it pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.powergenie do you know anything about it?

Thanks.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
In order to get ALL time Youtube vanced working in background, do this steps:

1. Go to Settings/Battery/App launch and give permission to run in background - set to Managed manually with Auto-launch, Secondary launch and Run in background;

2. Go to Settings/Apps/Apps/3 dots upper right corner select Special Acces/Ignore battery optimisation/select All apps/YouTube Vanced set it to Allow and hit OK.

When you removed Power Genie, you allowed background apps to receive push notifications and not beeing optimised by Huawei AI. I prefer to set up every app that can be set upped in battery settings, by letting them on AUTO or Manually.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] robalm:
You mean not allowed right?

"2. Go to Settings/Apps/Apps/3 dots upper right corner select Special Acces/Ignore battery optimisation/select All apps/YouTube Vanced set it to NOTAllow and hit OK."

Thats the settings i have been using, but it still random stops (not paused) when i play in background.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
:P, set it to ''Not Allowed - Don't allow / May drain your battery more quickly''

Those are the settings i use. See that YouTube Vanced has background playback enabled (i know it's by default, but better double check).
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] robalm:
So far so good. After i removed powergenie.

One more plus is that now if i close all apps i do not need to pause a playing video in youtube or a playing song in spotify they will close (no need to pause song or video it just exit).
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
That's ok, but you may see a decrease in battery life, because that app was responsable with measuring and keeping on/off your most used ones and guess you'll see thevresults after 5-7 usage days without Power Genie. Anyway, it's ok you've managed to make it work as you needed :D.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Fighter91:
Thank you for the guide!

When i uninstall "com.huawei.appmarket" and I reboot the app is still installed. Is it normal?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
You had an update on the app and therefore it's still there. My advice is go to Settings/App and remove it (unistall). Then force stop and restart. After restart remove it again (using ADB command) and restart device. It should be removed now :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Fighter91:
Thank you, I did:

1. Uninstall from Settings->App

2. Force stop + reboot

3. It was force stopped after the reboot

4. pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.appmarket -> Reboot

5. Still there :confused:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
When you give the command to uninstall in ADB, what message do you get after hitting Enter (before reboot)?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Fighter91:
"Success", I uninstalled a lot of other things with your method, this is the only one who survived!

[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Hit him again and again and again ???, it seems he is strong. I've never had your issuse, yes, it happend the same as you with ''Browser'', but after doing what i've mentioned you and after 3 restart commands in ADB (after removing it), it was gone.

So i think you should update it again, restart. Uninstall the update, clear cache/data, force close and restart. Then do the ADB command twice and restart. Then if still there, do it again (ADB command twice+restart).

If it's still there and is annoying you badly, factory reset your device, remove SIM, do the set up without connecting to internet, enable USB debugging, remove all of your unwanted bloatware and then set up your device (insert SIM, connect to Wi-Fi, set up your accounts, etc). That's the way i'm doing it, by the way ?

Update about youtube auto close.

So after i remove "PowerGenie" youtube vanced worked for 2 days (play in background) about 14h playback, no problem whatsoever.

So i restored "PowerGenie" and the same story.

After about 1h playing in background youtube vanced closes and i have to re open.

Now im 99% sure it must be "PowerGenie" thats the problem.

Maybe PowerGenie don't like the signature of youtube vanced.

Strange no one else have this problem.

But mayby the don't use background playback for 7h per day like i do.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Good to know, m8 about PowerGenie :highfive:.

Yes, i think there are few users that use more than 4hrs YouTube listening to music in background. I for one i'm using few hours a day (less than 3hrs), whille driving home/work connected to my car sound system.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] L22EEW:
So glad to have found this thread.

I've been a OnePlus user for a few years now. But have a P30 Pro being delivered in 2 days (just fancied a change in phone).

Fully aware that unlocking bootloader and root isn't possible, with Huawei devices. However more than happy to follow the guide in this thread to remove bloatware, at least I do have some control ?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Welcome (soon ?) to P30 Pro group users, m8. Feel free to ask if need more assistance. And if you want to flash a firmware (cust & build dependent) if you don't get latest using OTA or HiSuite, take a look at how on my other thread from here. You can use dload before setting it up for use (that's how i do when getting a new phone).
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Hi m8,

I've took a look at what you've mentioned above and none of those has nothing to do with the camera app itself (checed on my phone too).

Did you try clearing data/cache of the camera app?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] tschertel:
I did and it worked. :D

Thanks for that.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Glad i could help you, m8 :highfive:.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] tschertel:
I discovered the problem, and I'm kind of embarrassed for this.

The 48MP option disappears when AI' camera is ON. Kind of funny, but true.

Any ways, thanks for your work. :good:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Good to know, i've didn't noticed that. Thanks for letting me/all of us know about it ;)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] L22EEW:
The P30 Pro has arrived (yesterday). "BREATHING CRYSTAL" ???

Plan to set it up today, But before I waste my time sifting through Various Google searches today, I can presume that currently there is no physical/working way to obtain root on the P30 Pro?

There's a load of mixed reviews on most of the searches I've quickly read on Google this morning.

As I use a variety of apps to backup data on my OP6t (TitBU, Migrate and 3C toolbox). However if I'm unable to root the P30, it's virtually I'm to restore any of my backups to the P30 when I completely Migrate from the OP6T.

Any tips?

Thanks all :svetius:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Yes, you're right. NO ROOT because of lacking the unlock bootloader code service from Huawei.

You can transfer data from another device to P30 Pro using Phone Clone when setting up your phone. The app is allready on Huawei, just have to install it on OnePlus.

Anyway, before you finally make the step, do some tests regardless migrating your backups :)

I've managed to have a look through your other thread "[ROM] EMUI 10 dload FW for VOG-L09/L29/L04&AL10" - but i'm trying to determine what's what... lol

I know my device is the VOG-L29 model.

Which Gdrive option should I be aiming for?

Thanks
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Your phone is VOG-L29 C431, so use the dload firmware from the link bellow ?

Huawei P30 PRO VOG-L29 C431 v10.0.0.186

Phone Clone doesn't want to work.

Installed on OnePlus, opened app on both phones, scanned code, etc. Connected to the Hotspot, but then Oneplus show error on screen. Cleared cache/data of the Phone clone on oneplus, and tried again. Still getting the error (also tried connecting manually).

I guess it's a case then of manually installing each app, one by one?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
That's odd ?. Done this on several phone brands, including OP7 and had no issue. Try again by removing app on OP, restart device (restart Huawei too) then reinstall the app from here and try again (this version is newer than Google Playstore's one).

If it still doesn't work, yes, i'm affraid you will have to install them manually :(.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] L22EEW:
Brilliant thread. Just removed unwanted bloat, with no issues.

Also enable the dark theme too, which is nice.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:

Have you managed to clone your OP6 using Phone Clone? :confused:
