I posted this in another thread but it was hard to find and had a different topic - https://xdaforums.com/t/force-remove-gameoptimizationservice-howto.4223511/

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Even with all the info available online (most of it on the XDA forums) I still had to go through the painful and frustrating process of seeing what I could delete and what I could not. This included having to re-flash my device at least a dozen times (shaving off some my nand flash life)

So it occurred to me to mention what you do and should absolutely do not do -

While its safe to remove ALL the knox apps via adb,

DO NOT! remove any of the KNOX apps from the '/system/priv-app' folder

. This will cause the phone to soft lock, as in it will boot just fine but you will see a ****ty samsung message muttering something about unauthorized removable of payment software.

I removed a bunch of the what I'm caling core apps, but DO NOT remove com.samsung.android.kgclient (Payment services), via adb or from the piv-app folder - this will also trigger the same above soft-lock. And for good measure I didnt touch -

com.samsung.android.spayfw

com.sec.android.app.billing

com.samsung.android.mobileservice - this ties into way too much crap.

Now I did a deep purge of a lot of apps and as per the above google doc pointed out I would get the odd bug, but this is no worse that a small delay on 3 or so apps and even then only when I try to access a function for something that got removed and I am happy with that.

All that faffing meant I ended up streamlining my stock rom obdin flash proceedure.

I now flash BL, AP, CP, CSC and vbmeta all at the same time.

then reboot back into download mode and flash twrp.

then reboot back into download mode and flash the magisk_patched bootimage.

then finally boot into recovery, flash multi_disabler.zip, format DATA and then reboot to normal boot.

I also un-ticked the auto reboot & change time options in ODIN to give me to time to grab the phone and hold the buttons etc.

Here is a list of what I removed via adb -

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] alagga:
Hello,

do you got an updated Version for Android 12 or aren't there any new apps to remove?

Do you also know if these apps are also safe to uninstall:

- Swiftkey + Swiftkey factory settings

- One Ui-homescreen

(of course only when alternate keyboard + launcher apps are installed)

Thanks and best greets :)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] 3mel:
I don't use ADB to debloat, I just use a root app that also does disabling. I've disabled all parts of swiftkey with no issues. OneUI on the other hand is responsible for recent apps even if you're using another launcher I believe. it shouldn't be disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] Nojevah:
FWIW, as noticed in aother thread, there's a typo: com.samsing.android.games.gos

Anyway, this package can't be removed like that (like com.sec.android.sdhms ). I'll try in the future with Device Owner method (bootloader unlocked).

And I wanted to say I don't crash with "com.hiya.star" removed. I had crash when entering contact info from phone apps, but it was due to package "com.android.providers.blockednumber" that I had uninstalled (so I reactivated it).
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] Undeon:
Debloating will impact DeX function and/or DeX apps?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] Zelbess:
Any update for android 13 one ui 5.1?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] iCuba:
What ist the app for "ok, google" activation? After re-install the google App it worked. After reboot it stopped working. When I enter the setting "Voice match" the option is disabled with the info: "This function is not available in your language " I can change the language in the App. It stays the same.

//Edit

For all who face the same problem in the future... I have a solution.. you may know, but won't like it .. 😬

hard reset 🤐
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] Vaizen:
Hello people it's just to report and see if any of you have faced a skmilar problem and how To solve it.

The main problem is that all files pdfs, jpgs or any other that are sent to me via WhatsApp it's impossible to open with any app. All apps say the file is corrupted or something like that. The same happens with Edison Mail (app) I use it to have all my mails synced, but the same happens all mails that contain attached files are imposible to open the external apps to open pdf or image files say it's impossible or file corrupted.

Nevertheless, and the main thing is that those files are NOT CORRUPTED whatsoever, if I look for the files on the internal storage and open them with any of the apps that said that the same files were corrupted, the files open without any problem.

I was going to reinstall WhatsApp, but in the end I didn't because it's really time consuming to make a backup and because I realized it was happening with other apps (probably with others I haven't come across).

I have checked permissions, disabled /enabled them but with no luck.

Any thoughts or similar experiences? Any workaround?
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] nousernamesorry:
This problem isnt occuring for me. It opens for me fine. Maybe it could be an issue with the pdf reader?

What do you mean when you say, it is impossible to open pdfs in external apps?

Im assuming you have tried different pdf apps as well? Try opening the file from the pdf app itself, as in navigating to the file from inside the pdf app, rather than opening it directly in whatsapp.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] Vaizen:
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

If I open the files directly from the pdf reader (I've used several, acrobat, xodo, drive, onedrive, etc) or opening the files from a file explorer (solid explorer, xiaomi file explorer) they open, they are not corrupted.

The problem is when I tap on the attached file on the whatsapp chat or on the edison mail (app) The prompt to select an app to open the file shows up but no matter which one I select it will FC or say the file is unreadable or corruupted (depending the app). That is why I believed the problem was regarding some permissions in whatsapp or edison mail, but I've enabled and disabled them with no avail.

If you google this problem, hilariously you can find a very similar one on an Adobe forum but of course there's no solution because the adobe won't provide a solution that is not directly caused by their apps. The only good comment there is that apparently it's an andorid 11 problem on MIUI devices.

Some mention to disable MIUI optimizations, which I've already tried enabling and disabling because I usually have them disabled.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] nousernamesorry:
Yes, it certainly seems like an miui problem or the A11 problem. Okay, do one thing, try opening the pdf file via chrome browser, or any other app, maybe gmail app.

Also, before you do that, download matlog to log what happens, maybe we can try pin pointing the issue.

If its just an app thing, then maybe reinstalling should fix it. But i doubt it is. And the only real possibility seems like reinstalling the rom.

Heres a suggestion, since we dont have twrp yet.

Download the latest full rom, a few issues happened to me earlier, when i installed miui in one of the incremental updates.

So, what i did was, downloaded the entire recovery rom (not fastboot) and just updated the system via system update by locally installing it.

Just google how to local upgrade on miui if you're not clear about it. As i wasn't since this is my first miui phone.

This would essentially dirty flash a stock rom, and should iron out any issues without having to reset the phone.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] brzi6:
Is your MIUI optimisation option disabled in the developers options? If so, try enabling it and try to open the files again.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] Vaizen:
Here are the logs. Actually by doing so, I discovered that also sharing a zip file from the matlog to any app to upload or share it (whatsapp, gdrive, onedrive, etc.) also resulted in an similar error (this part is not included on the logs).

The logs include trying to open one file in two different apps. Gdrive pdf reader and Xodo.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] Vaizen:
Actually I hadn't tried that, Just did and leaving MIUI Optimizations enabled makes the problem disappear, in fact, the promt to select the app to open the file is different.

But what if I want to leave MIUI Optimizations disabled?
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] brzi6:
I don't think there's a solution for this. I think the best workaround for this problem would be switching to Xiaomi.eu rom (since they have MIUI optimisiation disabled by default) but it's still not released yet.

I could be wrong though.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] nousernamesorry:
Im assuming the miui has its own code for the app selector and the underlying android 11 app selector code is disabled. Probably to speed up the process of switching apps. Maybe if there is a way if you can enable the original android 11 code for it then you could disable the miui optimization setting. But then, if this is just for the app selector, there could be other underlying issues, that you might have not have experienced yet where miui uses its own implementation and has disabled the original android implementation. I wouldnt recommend that unless you decide to switch roms to the EU version for this specific issue like @brzi6 mentioned but i think theres no point as it could cause other location based hassles.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] djlunatix:
Firstly, miui optimization is garbage anyway.

Secondly, the problem is with app permissions. If you can get your pdf viewer of choice to have access to your file system then all will be well.

Is you your bootloader locked ?

It must be unlocked to do this
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Chris110112:
Yeah its looked, i thought pixel experience rom unlocked it.

I cant unlock because pc wont recongnize the phone with fastboot devices. ADB devices is working fine
[OnePlus 8 Pro  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Mchlbenner51:
Go to build number tap until your developer settings become visible then go into developer settings enable oem unlock then allow debugging.

Update drivers.

I dont have this option, im actually in PE ROM.
