Any ideas how to turn off the stock phone manager app.
Fed up with the annoying messages it gives me about power and background apps. Latest thing is it's warning me about fragmentation and it wants to clean up fragmented files!! I did't even know you could get fragmented files on phones?? Anyway not interested.
I've tried a force stop; turning all notifications settings off, removed write access etc but it won' stop.
if ur on root...just remove phone mangaer apk with titalum app
Not rooted, any other ideas?

You can uninstall, or even better, disable and enable Phone Manager with ADB. APK to look for is com.huawei.systemmanager.
Get into ADB Shell and use this commands:
To Disable:
pm disable-user --user 0 com.huawei.systemmanager
To Enable again:
pm enable --user 0 com.huawei.systemmanager
You don't need root.
bear in mind that this disables battery settings

Hello wonderful people. I am in quite the pickle and I hope that you can offer some help.
I have been uninstalling bloatware on my brand new phone that arrived today, using the command 'adb uninstall --user 0 <package name>'. Here is a list of the packages I uninstalled:
Code:
com.amazon.mShop.android.shopping
com.s.antivirus
com.facebook.services
com.android.chrome
com.spotify.music
com.facebook.katana
com.sonymobile.xperialounge.services
com.android.providers.userdictionary
com.facebook.appmanager
com.kobobooks.android
com.amazon.kindle
com.facebook.system
com.sonymobile.music.youtubeplugin
com.sonymobile.email.res.overlay_305
com.sonymobile.moviecreator
com.sonymobile.music.youtubekaraokeplugin
com.sonymobile.entrance
com.sonymobile.email
com.sonymobile.sketch
com.sonyericsson.music
com.sonymobile.xperiaweather
com.sonymobile.moviecreator.rmm
com.sonymobile.advancedlogging
com.sonymobile.music.wikipediaplugin
com.sonymobile.music.googlelyricsplugin
com.sonymobile.support
com.sonyericsson.trackid.res.overlay_305
com.sonyericsson.textinput.chinese
com.sonyericsson.album
com.sonyericsson.music
com.sony.tvsideview.videoph
com.sonymobile.assist
com.sonyericsson.xhs
com.google.android.apps.docs
com.google.android.videos
Now the settings app crashes when it is opened. The phone is encrypted by default. I cannot do a factory reset in the settings app, and fastboot won't touch the encrypted partitions. There is no recovery partition.
I reinstalled the last few packages using APKs from the web. I used the command 'adb install -r <package name>'. ADB said this was successful, but the apps cannot be launched and their icons do not show up on the phone. Settings still crashes.
Please help me out. Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Have you tried performing a factory reset by logging into your google account on the web and using Android Device Manager's erase data function?

Good suggestion. Unfortunately, Find My Device is turned off. I cannot turn it on because that would require the settings app. Any other ideas?

1] Are you sure it's off? Mine was on by default, I think. At least, it's on and I don't remember enabling it.
2] Do a clean re-flash using either Xperia Companion or XperiFirm+newflasher (with all .ta files).
A clean reflash with wipe should do it.
With XC, you should even be able to do a backup before you flash.

Thank you. Step 2 solved the problem! I used the 'Software repair' option in Xperia Companion. It wiped the user data and did a factory reset.
I feel like com.sonymobile.support is the source of your issues.
The support thing is the last item of the settings app.
It being gone must have made settings unhappy.
Plus, why would you want to get rid of the support app? Isn't it in charge of OTA updates?
I just came across this thread after Googling a similar issue. On my Note 8 I removed the Facebook packages and now have bootloops and am struggling to get back into the phone.
Hello. I am running android oreo. EMUI 8.2 Oreo. I did execute the adb command to remove this one package : com.huawei.search. But on my home screen, I am still able to swipe down and the search bar is still there. I executed the command pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.search but it says failure. So it means that it has been removed and the hisearch shouldn't be there right? Can anyone help? The swipe down search bar is still there. Help. Thank you :crying:

No. It means that it failed to remove that package. Some of the packages are essential and cannot be removed. Try using some other launcher...
Hello.
I uninstalled Find Device (pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.finddevice) to avoid its periodic enabling reminders.
However now sometimes "find device has been destroyed" appears as a toast. Also the Security Status in the Settings now crashes.
After finding this message (despite it is other phone model) I'm frightened about a future reboot of my phone. Can my phone really enter in a boot loop the next time I reboot? I have the miui optimization disabled, though.
I have tried to install it back, downloading the 9.0 apk, but it says INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS. Using the "-r" switch also doesn't works ("com.xiaomi.finddevice is a persistent app. Persistent apps are not updateable"). I assume that this is due to haven't erased the app data (uninstalled with -k) but "pm clean" doesn't seems to clean it. I also have tried the -p option for partial installation, but returns a null exception.
Ah, my device is not rooted. MIUI Global 10.2 stable.
I managed to restore the application with the following adb command:
Code:
pm install-existing com.xiaomi.finddevice
It also works with applications uninstalled without "-k 0".
By the way, I used to use "pm disable", but now it seems it is called "pm disable-user".
So, next time I'll preferably use it instead of uninstalling, if works as expected.
Note that it doesn't allows to disable finddevice:
Code:
$ pm disable-user com.xiaomi.finddevice
Package com.xiaomi.finddevice new state: default
The package still continues in default state, unlike when it actually works:
Code:
$ pm disable-user com.miui.player
Package com.miui.player new state: disabled-user

is there a any way to uninstall this application without trouble (without bootloop)?
i have the same question is there a any way to uninstall this application without trouble (without bootloop)?
If it doesn't boot, it's awesome tho.
Without modifying the vendor ROM image there is no way to get rid of it.
Could i remove completely android auto from system app and install it as plasystore app? I'm havin' some connection problems and would try to install android auto as non system app. Cannot find it as debloat app. Thanks
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.projection.gearhead
Thank u so much. I tried, but when done, tried to install from playstore and it installs as system app again.
I found a nice and easy way to get rid of bloatware, WITHOUT root, and using Rakesh's bloatware list.

But when I try it, I get stuck after installing Java SE Development Kit–and Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools, when the software will not recognize my phone. (USB debugging was done)
This is new phone. What else do I need to have, before this will work? Some accounts? A simcard??
Thank You
I guess adb drivers are missing. To installing that. And why don't you use simple adb after installing drivers.
Adb shell
Pm uninstall --user 0 <package name>
Pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name>
Would recommend first one, second retains cache and some data.
Yes it's a less intuitive way, but I prefer this doing everything myself, at least trying to rely on less and less dependencies.
But using adb doesn't free up space, it's more like it just disables app, the only difference is that in both the cases APK is still in system, just don't show up in settings like as it will remain shown when disabled.

Thank you for that list.
My problem is different..... I already have a list and I will of course compare it with yours. What I do not have is ACCESS.
The "usual" system, which I found here:
Does not recognize my phone. Probably, because I use no google or any other accounts. So I need to know what is needed to to access the bloatware, no matter what list I use...
