you can just disable all the apps you want through settings-apps as well mate if you do not use TB. Plus disable all bloatware if you are on a branded phone and i would also say disable google maps, facebook if you do not use and even the email client from HTC. I use gmail app from market hence why i would disable that.
I was thinking of making a thread and giving battery tips on how to save more juice and what apps to remove...maybe i should do that and see if it helps people out.
Any apps that you do not use i would either disable through settings or freeze with TB or unistall them..I could make a list on a thread if you want in the next couple of days

yes please do! would be great.
disabling google maps. i feel it is a big part of the phone to gave google maps available. what other services would be affected by this. i can see the advantage by battery life.

only disable it really if you do not use it. i have disabled it as i barely use it my friend. from what i can see i would even freeze or uninstall friend stream as i do not use that either...there are so many i have not even had a look at...by having TB and if you was to uninstall all the system apps you do not use you are making your own Lite rom by doing so
We could all share what we have disabled and compare results too.

you have to uninstall updates for system apps first then you can disable, note not all system apps can be disabled.
what i did was restart the phone open task man then disabled the ones running at start, just click the name not the X.

uninstall the updates first if you have updated any of the apps and then once you done than then you can disable.

if you go into settings-apps-all apps you can disable all the apps you want. of course some system apps you can not, not sure which but you can pretty most of them.

I'm thinking about xz2c as my next phone! I'm super keen on the camera so I'm mulling over the idea of sticking with stock instead of rooting. The only real gotcha being that I usually dump all the google play/services/apps/etc which may or may not be possible without root. It seems as if it is up to manufacturer discretion. For example, on the blackberry keyone it was, but on the s9 it is not.
Would someone be good enough to see if the store, play services, and whatnot can be disabled?
Cheers!

for sure if you disable the wrong system apps you can make your phone unstable/not bootable

i comeback (like a dog) to lineage 14.1 official and yes, i got again 4g... so my guess is that i debloat something related to mobile data...
please hope you can help me find my error!
thanks in advance for your comments!
You shouldn't be removing stock apps, if you don't know what the result will be (whether it is safe to remove or not). This is a good example of why.
Safer to "freeze" apps with Titanium (or similar app) to test what the results will be, before removing outright.
You're removing a lot of things which I don't typically see removed. So the only way to tell is process of elimination.

"Freeze" is similar to "disable" app in the native Android settings. But the "disable" function is not always available. "Freeze" disables the app, without removing it. So you can simply "unfreeze" if you run into any issues with it frozen. Or on the other hand, if you test a "frozen" app for a while, with not negative side effect, you can probably go ahead an remove it.

thank you for sharing your knowledge! everyday i learn something new about android!!
Hi everyone, the issue I am facing is that instant messaging apps (Viber, Facebook messenger, etc) do not work on my 5.1. Notifications settings are OK, unrestricted data access is allowed for these apps, so this is not a notification issue. The apps do not receive messages unless I launch them (when I launch the apps, there are no new messages, they start arriving a couple of seconds after launching). I contacted Nokia, but they did not have a clue... I did everything they asked for (factory reset, etc.), nothing helped.
Does anyone else have similar issues? Does anyone have any idea what the solution might be?
So it's been reported before that Nokia/HMD is the worst for how aggressively they limit background app usage. This can't be fixed in the current stock ROM but Nokia might help us out with Pie (if it ever materialises).

Thanks. It seems that the 5.1 was my last Nokia.
The Android One project is a bit of a farce given the update cycle is so delayed. It's good to have the security of assured updates, but only providing them when the hardware is no longer relevant seems a waste. Also it's possibly the Mediatek chipset to blame, but this phone has not had a great deal of interest on XDA, which could also be in part due to the Android One project making custom ROMs a little less relevent.
You can fix it yourself by uninstalling com.evenwell.emm app from user space. That crappy service which HMD bundles into firmware "improves" battery life by killing all non-system background apps.

Yes, you can delete overlay as well.
Yuo may need to uninstall these packages as well
com.evenwell.PowerMonitor
com.evenwell.PowerMonitor.overlay.base
I noticed that my 1Password service was still being killed after uninstalling com.evenwell.powersaving.g3.* packages. After removing PowerMonitor stuff everything back to normal and Nokia 5.1 Pie became usable again
I have the 2gb variant and its no use. Its a crappy phone... No notification what so ever even after disable/uninstall the evenwell apps and battery saver etc apps. Its no use as doon you start browsing only Google apps remains active. All other are killed. Not a android one phone. Its a stupid phone!!!
I believe I have found the definitive answer for this, after much googling around.
I have a 5.1 Plus (TA-1108) and tried the ADB disabling of evenwell apps and others but it still would stop services after restarts. I eventually found a post on the "Don't kill my phone" Github which alluded to the hidden setting of the "Duraspeed" task killer that is bundled.
The dontkillmyphone website says you can ADB in and change this hidden setting to 0, but this doesn't persist after a restart. The value will still be a 0, but it seems this task killer only reads the value after it detects a change in the value (bizarre, I know). So to disable this Duraspeed thing, you need to change the hidden setting value from something else to a 0 on each boot.
Luckliy, this is very easily done by Tasker/Macrodroid/etc. Use this post:
https://github.com/urbandroid-team/dont-kill-my-app/issues/57#issuecomment-484000884
but the short of it is to enable WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS to tasker (by running this:
adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
for tasker, google for your app of choice)
and then set a task that runs on boot to change a "Custom Setting", Global type, setting name setting.duraspeed.enabled to a value (doesn't matter, I use 2) and then immediately after change the same setting to 0.
I have this set up on my phone and my wifes phone and ever since they have been perfect with background services (my Garmin watch, lastpass, etc) as well as any email/notification apps.

How to start adb usb debugging on this phone?
I have adb sdk installed, every other phone but Nokia 5.1 is visible when I type adb devices.
Should I use adb on Linux or Windows, install any special drivers from Nokia?
Hi, I started using adb app control and I disabled 38 processes.
I m pretty happy with this useful app but I feel I can go much deeper...
I would love to remove much more stuff (if possible).
I used a list in the a20thread, but many processes /apps are different or missing from a52s.
So anyone could please me share here or privately the full list of safe disabling?
I need to keep Facebook Bixby routine and vocal assistant.
For the rest I can quit almost everything useless.
It would be great to find also the top 10-20 app/processes that drains battery between them.
Thank you for the help! ❤
There is an apk it can shows every system apks what is triggering , boot , wireless , any actions they do . Not every apk drain battery so much . In general Google services are hungry for energy and you can not dispense of them . I disable for example Google search , Google Assistant , Google Pay , Duo , Hangouts and Calendar . Maps I need always . Also some launchers drain battery . Regarding Facebook Bixby routine and vocal assistant they are battery eating , very much . Most of them have some tracking activity which are awake or they trigger awakening most of time . So don't stop small and insignifiant apks , focus only on the those few which affect your battery life . Disabling them I extend battery at least 25....30% daily . Better results can be done with a routed device , but root for phone today became a lttle bit tricky .
Also battery can be increased choosing some correct settings of system behaviour . A11 and A12 have a lot of settings for wireless , security , data , accesibility and so on which if they are active can drain also battery . Not less important is screen refresh rate or SOT , it is known more activity on phone when display is lit can drain at least 80% of battery . That can be tested only by battery drain over night when battery percentage drops down 1...2% or less . 2% is quite much...
Oops , I forgot , many users keep for nothing , all the time , Data , Wireless , Bluetooth , Hotspot and Location active . That's a big mistake that loose battery backup . Keep them only you need

Hi, thank you for your help.
Which is this apk that shows drains?
I almost follow all your suggestions.
I didn't get how can I understand if SOT is good or not, which app can let me understand that and, if I found problems, how can I improve it?
Then, I agree to disable the bigger drain processes, but some for me are important for working, such Facebook.
For this reason, seeing a lot of fb processes, I would like to know if I can disable some of them without having issues.
Then, Bixby routines it drains, fine, but it saves you a lot of battery and time (auto enable /disable GPS/ night sounds for example).
About Google and Samsung, i don't care about them, apart maps, calendar and drive.
Considering all these details, which processes do you suggest me to disable (mostly about Samsung) ?
I don't know if you are using a debloating tool, and if you can tell me the exact process name.
Thanks
P. S.
I Just read on Quora a guy that said that Google assistant doesn't consume much, it consume more Bluetooth. Could be true?
Is hard to find a clear answer on the net.
" My Android Tools Pro " , it's a very interesting apk . I used it since Androia 5...6 . Compare behaviour between ordinary apk and every Google services .
You don't need to trust me , trust only yourself doing some tests with your phone . Observe draining over night .
In the apk provided you have " Service ' , Broadcast receiver " , ' Activity ' and " Content provider "
On the other hand , Samsung is well known has double apps with same purpose like Google . I don't understand why is this . More than that Samsung has also a relaxed anti-hibernate background activity apks versus chinese brands like Huawei , Oppo , Xiaomi , OnePus etc which stop some times aggressively non-important apks
I just saw that is for rooted phones but I don't have it..
For this reason I wait for someone that can help me with a full /partial list of all debloatable processes.
Thanks

It is for rooted phone only to choose any actions . But if you install it you'll see the root and subroutines of any apk and/or services you have on phone . That I consider important ! I don't used it as well cause non-rooted phone .

Another guy told me about this program, but I already had app control and a list of all safe processes, the only con is that there's also other missing processes because it's made for another phone.
So, I made my own list based on it, I would love to add something more (if possibile and I m not missing anything).
Can you suggest me what I can remove more on my a52s?
I only listed the final words of the process to simplify with different countries app names
Thanks!

Some of these apps you might be using, so do your research before uninstalling.
@sando99 thanks, is it for a52s?
adb app control can save the list of debloated processes, so I can restore it with one click instead than one by one with new phone?
I ll change it soon for a speaker problem, it rasps.
I fixed it three times with a sound, but it keep happen the problem.
Probably is a hardware problem, but could I accidentally disabled a sound process that can distort audio? I think I disabled only the safe ones, anyway my list is in this post, if there's something wrong and someone can check /find it, would be awesome!
It happens both with speaker and normal call speaker.

And, most important, is true that majority of these app/processes doesn't drain battery because the true consuming processes are few/less?

Yes they are all safe to remove but you can loose some function you are using which i dont use like Bixby, Google assistant Samsung Pay etc. i disbled all google apps exept Maps, Play store, play services and translate. İ disabled most samsung apps that i dont use including Samsung store. i dont know if most of these processes consume any battery, i disable evrything that is safe to disable and i dont need.
You can use the Universal Android Debloader. by default it shows onlt app that are safe to remove and if you click on the app it explains what it is.

Fine, I still have some questions.
I use maps but I disabled it (from phone setting), because its not really a notification map (I use it only while driving or checking the path), so why you didn't the same?
Because I use Bixby routines/cloud/Samsung store, should I avoid removing any process in your list?
Why did you stopped Samsung store? There are important updates sometimes..
Lastly, do you know how to backup my debloated list and how to restore it with uad?
Thx
This is the debloat list I use. It is focused mainly on Samsung apps that I don't use. I did not debloat Google apps such as Meet, Chrome, Google Messages etc since we can just disable those apps. The main culprit is Samsung which doesn't let you disable most of their own apps. I understand a lot of people probably use their Quick Share, Private Share, Samsung Pass, Samsung Cloud, Samsung Message etc. However, I still wish Samsung had given us an option to atleast disable them incase someone doesn't want to use those apps.

Wow, 141 apps!! Are all these safe to remove?
And, most important, is true that majority of these app/processes doesn't drain battery because the true consuming processes are few/less?

Yes it's true that many system apps don't run in the background and don't get activated until they are called/triggered. However, there's no way for us to know which system app is linked to other apps and how often they are triggered. So, you can disable them incase you don't use them. However, please note that sometimes it can backfire you. If you disable a system app which is important for the OS, your device will constantly search for that app as soon as you open any app which is partially/fully dependent on that system app. So, always check the function of a system app before you disble or debloat it.

Yes man, I totally agree about removing all useless things and I never disable other than safe processes. Your last debloat list how many processes have inside ? I ll open next week when I ll check another list I already have (the one with 141 processes of the last week we talked about).
BTW i also disable all Samsung you mentioned, apart cloud that I feel is essential for any body because it also back up Bixby routines, good guardians and all settings (don't like to waste two hours in setting everything).
At the end the croaking speaker problem it was not connected to debloating/virus but an hardware issue that also other people accused in the Samsung forum.
On Tuesday I ll ship to fix it, not so funny to do it just after 2 months of use, but will be all for free at least.
The main, most important question now is: how to backup up on my windows all my list of disabled app with adb app control??
I really need to know it soon because I have to backup everything in 48h from now.
Thanks!
