Big thanks!

I assume that the phone doesn't get extra space because the apps really aren't uninstalled, but if battery longs more and the icons disappear of the screen, everything will be better!

Hi everyone!

Does anyone have an idea on how to remove the Huawei AssistantTODAY? I tried removing it with the com.huawei.intelligent pacakge but didn't work. It's still in my app list after rebooting
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jamesta:
Try using App Inspector

Use the package name it shows from there with the provided command to use in command prompt.

I removed it from my P30 Pro successful.

How do I remove the evil AI Search from my P30 using a Mac?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Bo$s:
@SilviuO I followed your guide, removed listed stuff except for apps that I need and use, everything went smooth, however, nom I'm facing a random issue - Google Clock doesn't start configured alarms in the morning. I tried to find the cause, I thought that it's only for Spotify Alarms, but today it also happened for standard alarm. Once the alarm should start, the phone vibrates once, a notification appears for a second and it automatically disappears, nothing more happens.

What's strange, when I set the alarm in the next few minutes, it usually works as expected :)

I tried fixing it by turning off the battery optimization and launch management from settings, both for Google Clock and Spotify but with no luck.

Do you have an idea which package from your list may be the cause of it? I would like to experiment with those by enabling them one by one, however, I have no idea where should I start.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Bo$s:
It seems that this issue wasn't caused by removal of bloatware but it's Spotify's fault:

I am not a coder. That text means nothing to me. I am hoping there is a simple solution using my Macbook Pro. I suppose, if forced, I could use a Windows emulator. But I'd normally rather eat broken glass.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] zimral.xda:
Hi Steve this has nothing to do with coding.

You need to install the google platform tools for mac-os on your mac:

SDK Platform Tools release notes | Android Studio | Android Developers

Android SDK Platform-Tools is a component for the Android SDK.

developer.android.com

After that enter android settings and search for "about phone" or somethinglike that.

Look for "build number" and tap this seven times. then you have the developer options enabled.

enter the system part of the settings and look for developer options

enter them and enable the "usb-debugging"

connect your phone and tap that you want to transfer data (not only mtp/photos/battery charge)

you may need to confirm the connection on the phone

look for the adb command set on you mac (where you installed or unpacked the ADB tools)...

and issue "./adb devices" and you should see your phone as a device connected

if not, issue: "./adb start-server" and you should see it (like this here ):

google.platform-tools> ./adb devices

List of devices attached

1038483d device

Then start the adb shell: (example)

google.platform-tools> "./adb shell"

you may need to confirm the connection on your phone that depends on the manufactorer

after that you have a ssh session on you phone and can whatever you want/need. EXAMPLE for a galaxy s5(klte):

shell@klte:/ $ pm list packages

list all installed packages

then you can use the pm (package manager) uninstall command to uninstall packages for the current user.

as mentioned in my post above

Be careful what you are doing. if you remove the wrong packages you need to reboot your phone into the recovery and

reset to the factory settings. Then you can start again this is the good message.

All this is well documented and you can find alot of examples with Aunt Googles help :)

So do some digging for details and learn a little bit.

Please be aware that the process may differ depending on your phone manufactorer

I use this usually to remove the google spyware stuff on google Pixel phones haha

Take care &have fun.

BTW what is a better alternative (open source) as a launcher that will also have the recent apps?

thank you
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] zimral.xda:
removing the "com.huawei.search" had no impact on the security functions on a P10 and a Mate20lite. I still use a 10 digit pin to unlock them and to access locked banking apps. Maybe this is different on a P30*
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] trotos:
Many thanks for the input. Do you have a better launcher?

Also, regarding the A.I. and photos, will there be an impact?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] zimral.xda:
I was told that the "Nova Launcher" is widely in use as an alternative launcher. I have no experience as i use the built in launcher. Not sure what you mean with AI. The huawei gallery is still working . But i use a different gallery app. The photo/camera app is still working too.

Hi guys.. I removed a package that does split screen with your knuckle running across the screen. Whats the package responsible for this as I have removed many and dont know which is which?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SkyUnbound:
Hi guys, I would be most grateful is someone could help me with this.

I have a Huawei P40 Lite and I'm trying to uninstall the software updater app because I'm perfectly happy with EMUI 10, everything is working flawlessly and I don't need any features from EMUI 12.

Unfortunately, even though I've revoked all permissions associated with the app, it's still downloading the update and it keeps prompting me to agree to the terms and proceed with the installation. Every day or two I get a fullscreen notification asking me to update, it's really annoying. If I clear the cache (2.6gb for EMUI 12), it just starts downloading it again even though I've revoked the wifi permission for the app and disabled automatic system updates in developer options.

In the past with all my previous phones, I was able to uninstall any app using ADB pm uninstall but it's not working with software updater, I've removed other system apps from this phone but get an error message when it comes to software updater.

My EMUI version: 10.1.0.393

Here are the commands I've tried:

pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.android.hwouc

Error message: Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.hwouc

Error message: Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]

pm disable-user --user 0 com.huawei.android.hwouc

Error: not allowed to disable this package

Any help/suggestion is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] letmeknov:
For anyone who wondering, here is a list of packages which were added and removed in EMUI12 compared to EMUI11:

New packages added to EMUI12:

com.huawei.android.airsharing

com.huawei.contentsensor

com.huawei.devicemanager

com.huawei.hilink.framework

com.huawei.hms5gkit.agentservice

com.huawei.hwdiagnosis

com.huawei.mediacontroller

com.huawei.meetime

com.huawei.ohos.hiwindow

com.huawei.ohos.inputmethod

com.huawei.onehopsvcclient

com.huawei.onehopsvchost

com.huawei.profile

com.huawei.trustedthingsauth

ohos.media.medialibrary

Packages removed from EMUI12:

com.android.egg

com.huawei.android.mirrorshare

com.huawei.frameworkhwext.honor

com.huawei.wifieapsimplmn

I personally removed every new package which came with new EMUI12 without any further problems, except com.huawei.mediacontroller which is needed for media controls in control panel to work properly (removing this package does not remove the controls from the panel)

Yep, it seems you removed Huawei launcher. See my post over here, i did not tested myself, but it seems that removing the launcher will remove the ability to show recent apps in EMUI 10. Try reinstalling it or if it's not working, i'm affraid you'll have to Factory Reset your device.

I will remove that command as it seems something is changed in EMUI 10 with launcher settings.

Does anyone know what the below two services are? I always see them active under Developer Options > Running services

HwHiAIDSEngine

HwLBSService
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
HwHiAIDSEngine - Is related to Smart Assistant and user search on device

HwLBSService - geolocation detection service

HwLBSService (com.huawei.lbs.HwLBSService), as well as GeofenceService - Huawei's own services, are needed to determine the location of the smartphone during blocking. Accordingly, they can use the GPS module. Disconnection is in question. Can actively use the battery and if disabled can give GPS errors whille locating.

Silviu, I just went ahead and removed the apps I no longer needed on my phone. Everything works fine!

Do you happen to know the command to remove the Orange specific non-removable app called App Center and the all too annoying Google assistant?

Thanks again for you help!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Install this System app remover and tell me the complete name of the app (select app and press details) or get me a SS.

PS. I've uploaded v173 if you want it.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Andrei Morar:
Installed the app you told me and removed the pesky Orange app.

Here is the command: pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.orange.update

How can I also uninstall the Google Assistant?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
The following command will remove Google Assistant:

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

AND if you removed it and don't use OK Google anymore, then remove those too:

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.hotwordenrollment.okgoogle

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.hotwordenrollment.xgoogle
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Andrei Morar:
You're the man!!!

You know what would be amazing if you could do? A comprehensive battery optimization guide to achieve the best possible SOTs on Huawei phones. :)

I heard you need to go and app by app disable the apps that you don't want to run in the background and then tweak the notifications so that you optimize the battery endurance but I don't know exactly how to do it.

HUGE THANKS IN ADVANCE!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
That's easy: Go to Settings/Battery/App launch and disable the app or give permission to the app you need to run in background (ex. NOT working in background Pago is set to Managed manually with NO Auto-launch, NO Secondary launch and NO Run in background; WORKING AUTO - OUTLOOK - Manage automatically). Next you can customize notifications separately for any customisable app in own settings.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Andrei Morar:
Removed those two too and also removed Huawei Theme manager: pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.thememanager
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Yeah, but now you can't change your themes or font on your phone. You'll stay with what you have. I didn't mentioned on my guide because i use it to change my font or themes :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Andrei Morar:
Yep, I knew it was gonna happen but since I don't change the theme on my phone it's for the better.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Then that's a good thing for your battery :) and for other users like you
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Andrei Morar:
How about the setting Stay connected when device sleeps? If i turn this off I won't receive notification with the screen turned off and AOD displayed?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
YES, if you disable it you won't have an internet connection, so NO notifications for you, only when your display is ON.

Hi [MENTION=5482623]SilviuO[/MENTION],

Great guide, thanks a lot.

Did you notice any improvement after removing these bloatwares / apps ? Especially regarding battery life / drain ?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
I can't tell you for example some differences between with those apps or without them, because i've done this removal every single phone i had right out of the box, just after i've set up . But you will have for sure better battery life because some of those apps can't be set on battery settings (ex. Chrome can't be stopped been used on background and some other apps) to stop using battery in backgroung or start once you restart your device. Uninstalling those apps also frees up the space used by them and also it makes sure it won't get auto re-enabled by system (if you just disable them i observed that they are still consuming RAM, according to Developer Options >> Memory). For YouTube i recommend Youtube vanced (no ads and black interface) and for Messenger and Facebook (both without ads or any other unusefull stuffs) i recommend those apps from here

And other thing you can do in order of improving battery life is setting apps like i explained on this post

Hope i helped you with my explanations above ;)

If you try to install mooded Facebook, you will have to sign the apk using apk signer from here and then use it.

I have tried but still

"App not installed. The package conflicts with en existing package by the same name."
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Try uninstalling them using this commands on ADB and after that reboot

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.appmanager

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.system

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.katana

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.services

Then install again after you've sign it. If the problem still persist, uninstall official Facebook Messenger and use the one from here alongside with this mooded Facebook app.
