About Cristian Cismaru
I have a Samsung J7 (2017) without root. I have uninstalled some applications (Samsung mail, Drive, Office Suite, Facebook, Photo, Game Launcher, Google Play Music, Google Play Movies, One Drive, Samsung Health, Samsung Members, Skype, Youtube) that came preinstalled. We restarted the phone and stuck to the Samsung logo. He just did not want to start. I tried to restore it from the factory (out of buttons) and nothing, it was stuck to the logo. Eventually I had to reinstall (flash) the system. I think uninstalling these bloatware will irreparably corrupt system files. Now I wonder if it is valid only for Samsung J7 or affects other brands?
I also have a question, after this operation can make UP to android? is the guarantee on the phone? Thank you
Rob3ert - NO: if you are not rooted, it does not affect the warranty.
@Cristi after following all the steps and recognizing the phone in the power shell, when adding the command "pm uninstall -k -user 0" followed by the correct name of the application I want to uninstall, my phone does not uninstall it and also restarts and after opening a message appears to me that I have to install the file explorer application, they have samsung smart swich in order to be able to access the files. Where the problem may be. I am waiting for an answer, thank you very much.
Hello!
It works on MIUI or not.
Only on "MIUIE psd!"
Hello,
I'm not hater, I have all the respect for your work but the title of this clip is a little click-through.
Those applications that you say are uninstalled are actually disabled.
If you could easily uninstall a root-based system application, then it would be a serious security issue. Uninstalling user-installed applications or updates to installed system applications from Google Play can be uninstalled. If a factory reset is made, all those applications appear and because they were never really uninstalled, but only disabled.
It is true that the effect for the user is about the same, but it is better to be properly informed.
There are Google apps that can disable everything you want, usually made for each brand. For Samsung there is Package Disabler Pro + (Samsung).
Well, on yt you keep saying that, oof
Normally it should work on any device with the android operating system.
Hello if you have OnePlus 3 with Oxygen OS Oreo and you want a Nook ROM (for example Lineage OS 14.1) you should install the Nugget firmware first and then take your ROM or you can install it as a ROM normal (Flash in TWRP)?
And if you install the ROM directly that would be the worst thing that could happen?
understand, that they are not deactivated, as long as you use the same rum when you reset it, all your data will be reset as you took it out of the box, so of course they will be reinstalled
EMP83 you are misinformed, the command mentioned by my colleague does not deactivate the application but deletes it permanently from the system and the "-k" option makes the "cache" and "data" folder for the deleted application remain. Read the ADB documentation.
EMP83 cam is denying the application is not completely erased I have a Oneplus 5 I have uninstalled Gmail and others and tells me that the application is not installed for the user and shows me that 402 MB

Iomut, in and out there, cache, all that goes away, the applications gather in time a lot of files in the application, then it remains, Succes!

not working. I have root and bootloader unlock
This method only works if you do not have root
Goes on samsung A50 with Android 9 ???
Hello,
I tried PocofoneF1, it worked… all good and beautiful until I restarted the system that did not start. He sends me to pcsuite.mi.com and I don't know what to do. There is a tool to use to flash with an official rum of mine… I searched so far and did not find. Any advice…? Downloading the rom from the official page is not the problem…
Thank you.
