As promised on Twitter (@paulobrien), here's a guide on how to disable your chosen stock junk-ware on your G2.
Normally, you would remove stock apps by deleting the APKs from /system/app, however on the G2 this is not possible due to it's NAND protection. On reboot the apps will just re-appear, so that's no good. You could delete them on every boot via a script, but that's a bit kludgey... there has to be a better way right? RIGHT!
Internally, Android manages installed apps via something called 'Package Manager'. Package Manager (PM) references installed apps not by their filename or displayed name but by their internal package name (e.g. com.google.android.apps.maps). Handily, from a command line you can actually call Package Manager with the command 'pm', which gives you access to do some pretty cool stuff - especially if you have root - including disabling packages.
What does disabling a package do? It leaves the file on the system, but prevents the app from running or appearing in the launcher. This is actually quite cool because it means although the app isn't displaying or using any resources, if an update to the app is released, you'll still be notified by the Market. Should you choose to install the update, the package will be re-enabled, after which you can then disable it again if you choose. Neat eh?
So, let me give you a few examples of how you'd disable packages. Firstly you need to have temproot on your device (use VISIONary for this), and open a command shell. You can do this either via 'adb shell' on your PC, or using 'Connectbot' or 'Terminal Emulator' on your device (if you're feeling particularly sadistic). The shell needs to be elevated to root in order to use disable functionality, so type 'su'. You know if you are elevated because the prompt is a '#' instead of a '$'.
In order to disable a package, you first need to know the name of the package. pm has a function to list installed packages... simply type 'pm list packages' (obvious huh!). The output will look something like this:
Code:
# pm list packages
package:com.google.android.location
package:com.tmobile.selfhelp
package:com.android.voicedialer

Most of the names are pretty self explanatory... you can work out what you want to get rid of.
To disable an app, you use the 'pm disable' command with the package name. I wanted to disable the T-Mo App, MyTracks, Goggles, Listen, Web2Go, Amazon MP3, Google Voice, Photobucket, the Setup icon, Finance, Twitter and Translate, so I did this...
Code:
pm disable com.tmobile.selfhelp
pm disable com.google.android.maps.mytracks
pm disable com.google.android.apps.unveil
pm disable com.google.android.apps.listen
pm disable com.htc.web2goshortcut
pm disable com.amazon.mp3
pm disable com.google.android.apps.googlevoice
pm disable com.photobucket.android
pm disable com.htc.android.htcsetupwizard
pm disable com.google.android.apps.finance
pm disable com.twitter.android
pm disable com.google.android.apps.translate
#
...which returned...
Code:
#Package com.tmobile.selfhelp new state: disabled
# Package com.google.android.maps.mytracks new state: disabled
# Package com.google.android.apps.unveil new state: disabled
# Package com.google.android.apps.listen new state: disabled
# Package com.htc.web2goshortcut new state: disabled
# Package com.amazon.mp3 new state: disabled
# Package com.google.android.apps.googlevoice new state: disabled
# Package com.photobucket.android new state: disabled
# Package com.htc.android.htcsetupwizard new state: disabled
# Package com.google.android.apps.finance new state: disabled
# Package com.twitter.android new state: disabled
...and that's it, job done!
You'll need to restart your Launcher to see the changes (you can do this from Settings -> Applications -> Launcher -> Force Stop) and then you're done!

Wow this is good stuff.....thanks!
This disables them from starting up and running if phone is rebooted and not running temproot? Or do we have to put these cmd lines in again once rebooted?

This actually makes changes to the packages file on /data, so the NAND protection doesn't matter.
i.e. - you only have to do it once.

It should do... in fact it DOES on my device.
Have you tried doing 'pm enable com.amazon.mp3' then 'pm disable com.amazon.mp3'?
P
After I updated Amazon MP3, I couldn't disable it either!
The fix was to do this...
Code:
#cat /data/system/packages.xml|grep com.amazon.mp3
...which returned this...
Code:
<package name="com.amazon.mp3" codePath="/data/app/com.amazon.mp3-1.apk" flags="1" ts="1287142896000" version="800022" userId="10049" enabled="false" installer="com.google.android.feedback">
<item name="com.amazon.mp3.client.activity.LauncherActivity" />
<item name="com.amazon.mp3.client.receiver.FirstBootReceiver" />
<item name="com.amazon.mp3.service.DownloadService" />
<item name="com.amazon.mp3.client.activity.IntentProxyActivity" />
<item name="com.amazon.mp3.client.receiver.RetryDownloadsReceiver" />
<updated-package name="com.amazon.mp3" codePath="/system/app/amazonmp3.apk" ts="1284540940000" version="800019" userId="10049">
...after which I manually disabled the launcher activity...
Code:
#pm disable com.amazon.mp3/com.amazon.mp3.client.activity.LauncherActivity
...and it's all good!
In an ideal world you'd probably disable all the activities (or you could be able to use a wildcard).

Do an 'adb pull /data/system/packages.xml' to your PC, have a look through and double check the 'BOOTCOMPLETE' activity is disabled.
That's obviously the one that is making it run on startup.

Hey guys,
Can anyone grab me the name of the stock camera app? Should be something like com.samsung.camera.
You can get it with an application called APK Extractor from the Play Store.
I need this info for work, so I would really appreciate it.
FYI: I manage devices via an MDM, built a general profile to allow apps, but forgot that apps have different names across different devices.
The app is enabled under the wrong name for this device and I need the name so I can add it to the MDM.
Thanks a lot!
You mean package name**
It's com.sec.android.app.camera

I deleted the Amazon launcher so I could use fire starter since it's quicker and all my apps are just a few clicks away.
I usually don't watch prime video, but they have a series I would like to watch.
How can I access prime video. I tried installing the prime video apk as an alternative to the launcher but it wouldn't install.

Anyone have the launcher apk so I can reinstall it temporarily.
I had the same problem, unfortunately you can't (as long as I know) it's been if you keep the Amazon launcher

Actually on my FTV Stick 2 I have a package called com.amazon.amazonvideo.livingroom.firetv which is accessible via TVLauncher 3 (a 3rd party launcher). It works just like the standard Android TV app.
UPDATE: I tried it with AppStarter and it works fine!

My launcher is "uninstalled" for my user. I have Google Play Services installed but I don't set how that would affect it. Be careful. There are two prime video apks/applications on the Fire TV Stick 2. One is for the launching of videos from the launcher and one is for actual standalone viewing. Look in your chosen launcher for both and try both. I think the incorrect one only says "Video" w/ the correct icon.

I do not know what the original poster meant to write but checkout apps4flip, they are a website which provides apks for 4G Flip phones.
Hope this helps.
apps for flip
Apps4flip.com is only a very limited amount of
Apps and there is no messaging apps there
Also wondering
I would also like to find the answer to this exploit. I was at apps4flip before I came here looking. At apps4flip it explicitly states in the faq that others have found this apk signature exploit and I expected that if I was going to find these 'others' this would be the place.
apk on flip
if you send the apk file via bluetooth the installing process is starting, then you get a message that u can't install from unknown sources.
if you could solve this, you could put up anything
Decompile the app.
Change the package name in androidmanifest.xml to com.android.cts.appname.
Recompile the app.
Sign the app with any generic debug certificate.
App will now install to any android based flip phone.
(CTS stands for compatibility test suite, and if you rename the package as such it will bypass the phones signature check, therefore allowing the app to install.)

Hi, Thank Y'all for help in this matter. I was wondering where I can get APK Editor? Whats the name of the App?
Hi, I want to disable the High volume warning, I already have a solution, right now I use terminal shortcut pro and have created a shortcut to run the command
Code:
settings put global audio_safe_volume_state 0
it work great but doesn't survive a reboot so I have to run the shortcut after every reboot. I found an old thread on reddit that say adding the line
Code:
audio.safemedia.bypass=true
to build.prop can also disable the high volume warning, but the thread was so old, they were talking android 6.0
I plan to try to add this prop on boot using the magisk module MagiskHide Props Config, I know it work great because I already added a prop to reduce the media volume steps to 15 instead of 30, but i dont know if the prop
Code:
audio.safemedia.bypass=true
is still working on android 10
Another solution would be to have an app that run the terminal command
Code:
settings put global audio_safe_volume_state 0
automatically after boot, but I would prefer to add the prop line if anyone can confirm it still work on android 10
Thank you all !
Nice to know.... what's also wondering from time to time how to overcome the warning. let me know if you get it to a working solution.
Just for the last part: tasker would be the way to go.

I still use it with 11 on my OP7T but I am unsure if this prop remove the audio warning or if there is no warning at all on my device. Never tried 11 wihtout the prop so IDK.
Another way you can try is the system UI tuner app on the play store, there is a setting to disable the warning under the audio & sound category. Good luck !

Thank you for your reply! I kept trying to no avail. Can't make it work unfortunately. When you upgraded to android 11, did you make the procedure again from scratch? Can you please explain what you did on termux?
Is the system ui app an app that it's aways on background?
Thank you so much!

No the system UI tuner app just change some hidden android settings, it do not run in the background. The description of the app even state you can delete the app once you changed the desired setting. Read the whole description to understand how it work. Try it, I think this might be the best solution.

i can confirm that no app does change the setting of safe volume limit.
All tests on rooted device from LOS14-LOS19. Tried different apps like systemuituner, safevolumelimitdisabler, volumesteps+, jamesdsp etc.
Tried to patch the global variable "safe_media_volume" like described here on a rooted device but no luck.
Just ran
[adb shell] settings put global audio_safe_volume_state 0
via adb, when the message popped up, afterits i had to confirm the nag-screen, to raise the volume. it's so weird..

There are several apps that I normally disable that are not showing up in this app. It currently shows that I only have 328 system apps and one user app (Alliance Shield), ADB AppControl shows 448 system apps and 53 user apps.

It seems to not show apps I've disabled with ADB AppControl, such as Facebook and associated services
Cool, Thank you sharing.
Does it need to be activated?
Doesn't seem to allow data and cache clearing or am I mistaken?
Appears to be compatible with Pie as well.
The data blocking is a nice feature.
A backup PD is always good to have as time has proven:laugh:

This type of app needs full administrator permissions to function.

Makes sense that all apps wouldn't be visible on Android 11 for this particular phone.
Something slightly separate, but I had an Android 11 Pixel 3XL over a year ago, and the file managers still worked normally. On this phone, however, since upgrading to the Android 11 Beta, the file managers (I've already tried three different ones) don't work at all when you go to the non-root required drive section that stores your non-system applications (stuff you got from the Play Store). It just shows that every single folder aside from the download folder is empty now on every file manager... So something is most definitely wrong with their current hard drive storage/access on Android 11 - and that could also possibly be why certain apps aren't showing up in the package disabler.
By the way, we have Android 11 Beta4 dropping on this Tuesday (12AM EST), so the official release will probably be around Christmas time (exactly four weeks after beta 4 releases). So we'll see if either of these updates fix this goofy issue.

Tried installing it on my 10+ running on Pie.
Install ok but it wanted a login created to do -anything-
So I did but it was glitchy. Even after I created an account it didn't want to login.
Grrrrr...
I have a working PD so for now I don't need to muck with this...
Got tired of saying kind, nurturing things to it, and kicked it out:laugh:
On Beta, it works amazingly. But it is missing a few system apps like calculator and such but im guessing thats because of beta. Otherwise amazing.
This app is amazing
Just disabled over 50 useless system apps
My phone is flying now ? ?
Everything is way faster even fingerprints and face unlock
Thanks soo much
