I tried to use easy uninstaller and offers not much help.
Please kindly shed me some lights.
Many thanks in advance.
Go to settings->apps and click on the app you wish to remove and then disable/uninstall. Note some system apps cannot be disabled.
If you have root access you can disable and/or uninstall any app through a third party tool like titanium backup.

Hi, I tried to remove the Bloatware app Facebook. But Titanium Backup PRO is not able to remove it. I get an error message that the APK file cannot be found.
Anyone already experience how to remove the bloatware and what bloatware apps are save to remove, like HiSense, Google Books, Google Drive, etc.
Cheers Chelaz

Clear that Titanium Backup does not run without root!
Do you have any concrete tipps/hints which uninstallers to be used? It looks like EMUI from Huawei is something special here. I am used to Google Nexus before and CM. And there it was much easier...

jeah. You are right, root uninstallers are not remuving thease apps fully in huawei emui. sorry about the false info.
I got root and would like to debloat the tab, anyone had the experience or could provide a list of safely removable/freezable apps?
I mean system apps, not the ones could be disabled in application list.
Thank you
That's the file I use with Package Disabler Pro: it's XML so you can open and read easily the packages

Thank you, sir.
I didn't use package disabler app before. Can I use that app with the xml file you provided? Thanks
Yes but it only disables apps, does not remove them.

Thank you, got that. I will disable them first, if everything goes well, I will delete from system directory.
Has anyone been able to get Magisk to work with MobileIron (enterprise device admin app)? I'm on a Nexus 6p with Magisk 13 beta and it detected that my device was rooted and disabled the MobileIron app.
Note: my devices passes the SafetyNet checks just fine
Have you added the app to the Hide list?
More things an app might detect can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/magisk-magisk-hide-troubleshooting-tips-t3561828
Check under "Other things to try".
I did try hiding without luck. I wonder if MobileIron's Device Administrator status somehow bypasses that.
Try uninstall the magisk manager app, any sudo management apps, etc.
Then if that doesn't work, try uninstall some of the well known root apps like titanium backup etc.

Yup, this is probably it. Out of curiosity i decompiled the apk, and it looks like mobileiron relies pretty strongly on package names, I didn't get the list (pulls from a server), but its probably looking for known root related apps.
Dont know how to solve that.
That mobileiron stuff looks terrible.

That's a very interesting way for it to be done.
If you are using an adblock, maybe check where it is polling from and block that IP through your hosts file.
Otherwise, you don't actually need the MagiskManager once everything is set up. If you uninstall, you still have root and MagiskHide working in the background, so maybe go for this and ensure that MobileIron is included in the MagiskHide list.
tried removing all suspicious apps (old SU apps, busybox, Magisk, etc) but still seems to see it
edit: nevermind, looks like Root File Explorer was the culprit
Please elaborate for the culprit,
Do you manage to run mobileiron with magisk?

Well it stopped giving me the root error message, yes. However, the email app doesn't seem to work for me, but that may be a separate issue.

Try to reinstall the app. I've Magisk V13 beta on Android 7.1. Secure Mail app (another type of enterprise email app) works fine. One time, it stopped working. I had to reinstall it to make it work again.

I had the same issue (firm is shifting all their Android users onto [email protected]). Spent untold hours with support and finally they realized there was a problem with my account ActiveSync at their end. The Mail+ app wasn't supposed to be asking for password at all.
Once they flipped the switch on that, everything worked.
at the moment i have the some problem with that root detection.. i don't know how to solve :-/ in the pasted it worked with magisk-hide.. but now :'-(
months later.. anykind of solutions?
When the company I worked at moved to MobileIron, I refused to put it on my device. They bought me (and paid service for) an iPhone for work and installed it on that.
If they require your off-hours attention, but don't consider you valuable enough for that investment, you may want to consider moving to a company that considers you less expendable.
it is not really a solution if you are independently, but thanks for you reply
I have been trying to achieve this as well, removed all root apps but still got an email saying that my device is rooted
Unfortunately, this is still an issue with the latest beta (16.6).
Any update here? I am experiencing the same issue
Carrier-branded Galaxy S9 models come with a ton of bloatware that you usually can't get rid of without rooting. With a little digital elbow grease, however, there is a way to disable bloatware on your S9 or S9+, and it's a lot safer that attempting to root and modify you precious device.
Package disablers are a great way to disable useless bloatware and free up RAM on your smartphone. Unfortunately, they can be a little dangerous to use, as carelessly disabling the wrong package can cause your S9 to act erratically or even freeze up entirely. Thankfully, there's a safe and painless way to disable over 120 bloatware apps and packages thanks to XDA user BAYmustafa96.
Step 1Download the Bloatware Remover File
First up, you'll need to download an XML file which automatically disables bloatware apps by way of BK Package Disabler for Samsung. The file was originally created by BAYmustafa96, but we've edited it to clean things up a bit and make it even safer. So to start, tap the following link from your Galaxy S9 or S9+.
Download the modified XML file for BK Package Disabler
Step 2 Install BK Package Disabler for Samsung
Now it's time to download BK Package Disabler (Samsung) by WakaSoftware. You can either go to the Play Store and do a search, or simply tap on the link below to purchase the app. Please note that BK Package Disabler needs a companion app to function, so don't open it just yet and proceed to the next step.
Install BK Package Disabler (Samsung) for $2.49 from the Google Play Store
Step 3 Install BK Plugin 2
Because of some changes by Samsung, BK Package Disabler for Samsung requires a separate add-on app to fully function. Don't worry, however, as its sister app, BK Plugin 2, is totally free to download. Once again, feel free to either do a search on the Play Store, or head to the link below.
Download BK Plugin 2 for free from the Google Play Store
Step 4 Grant BK Plugin 2 Administrator Privileges
Before opening BK Package Disabler for Samsung, you'll need to grant its sister app administrator privileges. Open BK Plugin 2 to get the ball rolling, then simply tap on "Activate It" within the initial setup prompt. You'll now be taken to a Device Administrator page, so tap on "Activate" to finish setting up. You can now open BK Package Disabler and proceed with de-bloating your S9
Step 5 Disable Bloatware
Now that you've got both BK Package Disabler and BK Plugin 2 installed and enabled, go ahead and open the former, then tap on the three-dot menu icon on the upper-right corner of the screen. From there, select "Import from XML."
A popup window will now appear, so tap on "Import from XML," then tap on "Select Path" on the prompt that appears. Next, head to the Download folder to retrieve the XML file you downloaded earlier.
Within the "Download" folder, tap on the XML file and select "Import" in the prompt box. The XML file will now proceed to automatically disable more than 120 bloatware apps for you. You'll be taken to the app's main page when it's done, so scroll down and verify by looking for bloatware that's been checked off and disabled. You're now free to exit the app after, and go on with the rest of your day.
Please bear in mind that this process is automated, so be sure to carefully check for frequently used apps —like Bixby, Adapt Sound, and Photo Editor — that might've gotten disabled. If that turns out to be the case, just open the BK Package Disabler app, scroll through the list and find the app you're missing, then simply tap on the box next to it re-enable it.
I had this installed on my S8+, however, with my new S9+ I am getting an activation error when both apps are downloaded from Google Play. "Version 1.1.5: Fail: Invalid package name...." Anyone else having this issue, and if so, how did you fix?

Yep, with BK Disabler. I've tried it every which way, even hanging upside down and it still hasn't worked. Same error each time.

This is very weird, i just uninstalled and re-installed and didn't get the issue. So pretty much the BK disabler, then i download the BK plugin 2, and works just fine, I enable the permissions and good to go!

Also just to clarify I am using the "BK Package Disabler (Samsung) by wakasoftware and it is on version 2.4.2
Then the BK plugin 2 is by MobizSystems and that's the version 1.1.5

Is there some way I can reset the permissions so I can accept again? (I don't know, just shooting stuff at the wall and hoping it sticks.)
Edit: I'm on the same version and with the same dev.
Maybe a difference between exynos and snapdragon?
Which one have you got?
I have the Sprint S9+ so it is the Snapdragon version. I had to do a factory reset a couple of times to activate my S9+. Using the Samsung transfer with the cable plugged into both devices caused the S9+ activation to fail so after another factory reset I reinstalled via Google cloud and Samsung cloud. Not sure if it was a related to being a S8+ Oreo beta tester or not. Never had root on the device. I am using the "BK Package Disabler (Samsung) by wakasoftware version 2.4.2, and the BK plugin 2 is by MobizSystems version 1.1.5.
WORKING: Anyway, I was able to install BK Package Disabler (Samsung) by doing the "owner" steps shown when the BK Disabler failed, and BK Disabler is WORKING. However on my lockscreen I have a "This device is managed by your Organization" message. BK is working, but i dislike the lockscreen message. I discovered that I cannot backup/restore my system from either Google Cloud or Samsung Cloud....Have not tried another factory reset.
I also tried a different disabler called "Package Disabler Pro (Samsung)" as an alternative and it too failed.
I think the issue is the Snapdaragon variant is causing the activation error on any of these disablers. Has anyone tried to reach out to the app owner to see if they know about this?

Snapdragon.
If we cannot disable, maybe we can uninstall. Yes I know we dont have root, but maybe this would work as an alternative: https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/.
The Reddit page the above references is located at https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/6ftg72/want_to_completely_disableuninstall_those_pesky/
Sure you could do it with ADB (no root needed).
But its laborious
I just used package disabler pro. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pdp.singleplay

I agree. I don't want to go this route, but may be an alternative. I had emailed the app owners to make them aware. I believe the activation failure has to do with the Snapdragon processor.

What processor do you have? Snapdragon is U.S., and non-U.S. has the Exynos.
Everyone - if you are having the activation problem, what processor are you on?

I bought is, and I can confirm it does work on the Snapdragon version of the S9+. Only sucks that I had bought the other 2 disabler apps mentioned in this string earlier did not work.
Not sure the .XML file mentioned in the initial post can be imported .
I've used the "S8 Delboat Bloatware Thread" on the T-mobile S9. It worked. This method doesn't uninstall officially but it removes them for USER 0. I didn't need to download a app to remove bloatware. I still got the tmobile update. So it's fine for me.
Exynos version here on S9 plus, getting the same error when trying to activate the license: Fail: Invalid package name.
Weird guys.
Some Exynos works some not.
Some SNapdragon works. Some not.
Can't explaint at the moment sorry.
WIll try to investigate whats the problem is when i am home.
This didn't work for me either, however, I was able to make Package Disabler Pro + (had to purchase unfortunately) work, and it is able to import the same xml file as well
Package disabler pro worked for me. Imported the XML, but it was very "aggressive". Disabled chrome, YouTube, and a lot of other usefull stuff that I would not consider bloatware.
Is there a way to freeze apps on the Note 9?
I found this tutorial but would rather "freeze" apps than uninstall them.
https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/remove-all-bloatware-your-galaxy-note-9-0187799/
I was able to accomplish this on my Note 8 with a program called BK Package Disabler, but it doesn't appear to work with the Note 9.
Using adb command
https://www.xda-developers.com/disable-system-app-bloatware-android/
There is a script too
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/note-9-debloat-bash-script-t3907659
and there is an app Ccswe app manager
Or just download app Package Disabler Pro from play store and disable the apps u don't need

Ccswe App Manager worked a Treat! Excellent app. Thank you for the suggestion! My phone is now how it should be. I was starting to lose hope and your suggestion made my Note 9 rock!!!
Island by the developer of Greenify allows one to freeze apps on demand. It is still currently in beta, so be cautious if you intend to try it.
Titanium & SD Maid can also seamlessly freeze & unfreeze any apps.
