Not an expert but if you have premium version of Titanium Backup just freeze them through it ( Myself did that)

Hello friend thanks for your advice. I was thinking about paying it, which root do you use? I can only install magisk 16.0

Boot into twrp and remove oem. I did the same and now not a single bloatware.

Thank you friend I tried it but nothing changes. But I now bought Titanium Backup Pro and installed Magisk Root, I can be able to Freeze all annoying Sprint services. Thanks everyone.

Does anyone know of any method to delete OEM apps? in sprint rom you can not delete OEM, because you lose all sprint functions ... no? I have tried to delete the apps, delete OEM completely and always stay there. You can install the firmware without OEM but sprint does not work ..

Would you believe I still need help with this same thing in 2022? Found myself back in my moto z2 force. Guess it's time to actually buy mods. Does anyone understand why system app uninstalls are so hard? I flashed att not sprint, I'm in a similar situation to the OP. For the most part I can use a debloater magisk module from Fox's Mmm, but that's similar to titanium as far as them not actually being gone. There are even more apps that debloater can't see for some reason.

[Q] Deleting Bloatware after Perma-Root

So being the impatient soul I am, right after I got permanent root, I decided to jump into Titanium Backup and deleted some of the bloatware. I was so impatient, that I totally forgot to backup the system apps I deleted to a backup folder on my SDcard, so now those apks are gone. My question is now, if an OTA becomes available, am I going to have problems again, just like with Paul's Goggles app?
If so, what do you suggest I do? I am guessing now that now root has been achieved, we can install those apps to the system just fine again. Can someone upload these apks for these system apps, so I just feel on the safe side and I have backups? I would greatly appreciate it...

Of course, if you don't see this as being a problem for the future, please tell me. It would make me feel a lot more secure about things. Thanks!
it shouldnt be a problem, you can re download those in the market
Goddamn it. Now I went to uninstall Email.apk to replace it with an old one that doesn't require remote security, but it keeps giving me an "Application not installed" error, even with the backup of the original.
How do I get it to install?!

You don't install system apps, you just move then into /system/app/
its likely if an OTA becomes available a dev will mod it to be flashable to rooted and modified /system/ devices

Okay, I feel much better now. Time to play around with this thing! So excited!
Yea if an ota comes out, it will be modded to update the system and skip files not found, if there is a patch.
So your good. I'm just waiting for custom recovery with nandbackup before I start messing n the system. I just hate setting up the phone all over after
And if all else fails you can fastboot flash system.img from the orig pc10img. Wiping all your data and formating ur system. Then updating to ota.

Just use Titanium Backup to uninstall any apps you want. Long click on the app, and an uninstall option will be there.

A debloater for OnePlus 5 (really any OxygenOS, but I only have OP5 now). Allows for removal of a lot of pre-installed apps. All apps are user selected. Can trim down and remove unused apps.
Hi,
I tried it with new OOS 4.57 and did not delete any Gapp
For system apps related to Oneplus like logskit and so on, it was ok and working like a charm.

Interesting comment as my long time debloat app System app remover (ROOT) wasn't able to remove Gapps apps (Google Music, Google Movie/TV) either. I'm trying to make /system room for installing V4ARISE but after this latest OTA there is not enough /system space left.
In fact that's why I'm looking at this debloat method. I wonder if the issue you observed is why the app I'd previously used no longer works. Unless I find something better I'll likely try Titanium Backup's uninstall method but I was looking for a way to batch clean up which I suspect would need to get done after every OTA.
EDIT: Using Titanium Backup to backup then uninstall worked. I removed Duo (~20Mg) to recovery the space I needed.

I am using also Titanium Backup for Gapps but freezing them rather than un-install.
Today, I tried deeper aroma script and I can uninstall every bloatware less Gapps (Chrome, Gmail,...)

Uninstall System Apps

Hey
Anyone having Problems with deinstalling the system apps too?
I am successfully rooted and tried to deinstall YouTube/maps/chrome etc., but the always come back after reboot.i am trying with titanium backup, magisk debloat and magisk App systemizer, but no matter which way I choose.. The result ist always the same...
As I understood, system apps are on read-only partition, so it's near impossible to get rid of them. I managed to remove them usind adb, but I think it's not permanent solution.

Try this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-uninstall-apps-t3776235/amp/
Open the link in a browser.
When you uninstall an app, you may need to try a couple of times, but it does go away.
Other solution is to freeze the app with TiBackup. Almost the same, the apps even stay frozen after an update.

Yes... Did this too. But sadly it is not a solution for YouTube-vanced...
Agree with all fronts. Very annoying. I'm hoping that titanium is able to fix this issue soon

Bloatware - Package Disabler Pro or ADB/Fastboot

I just got my S20 and coming from a Pixel there is a lot of useless crap on it BUT I am all new to debloating. I followed a guide and installed ADB/Fastboot, enabled debugging etc. and I am ready to remove stuff but it might be a bit too risky for a newbie... As I understand it there are several packages related to one app so a list for S20 would be great but I can't find one... As an alternative, I read about Package Disabler Pro and CCSWE App Manager. Are those app's any good and will they work with S20?
I am using CCSWE without issues. Easy and secure ?

It's an app that allows you to disable or uninstall any applications and packages from the phone. It is essentially ADB functionality packed in an app. But be careful with what you do (you can also uninstall system related stuff).
But in the end you can't do anything harmful to your phone as a factory reset will set everything to stock again (root is not needed) so it is pretty newcomer or noob friendly. Just search for CCSWE App Manager (Samsung) in the Google Play Store.
I played arround with CCSWE and it is easy to disable app's that can't be disabled in the system. But I can't uninstall anything (as with ADB commands), tried uninstalling AR Zone through CCSWE and got "System applications cannot be uninstalled). So I guess if you want them out of the system you need t go with ADB...

Question Remove all trace of rooting

Hi folks,
Hope you are all fine !
I uninstalled Magisk but some apps still detect it's "rooted" which prevent them from opening. Would you have any ideas what cleaning I could do to avoid these apps to wrongly detect root ?
I'm running A13 stable TP1A.221005.02.
Thanks in advance !

My guess is that you still have the bootloader unlocked.
If you decide to re-lock the bootloader, it's gonna factory reset & wipe all data.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I didn't think app could verify this so easily.
I'd like as much as possible to not wipe the device, is there any way to confirm what triggered the app to find the "root" though it is not rooted any longer ? Any logs I could check perhaps ?
Thanks in advance -
One other thing is to remove the magisk app .apk if you downloaded it. Some programs do scan your files and if they see magisk in your files they deem you as "rooted".
Cheers,

Before factory resetting, you could also try a dirty flash of the latest firmware.zip or using the official online Google Pixel Flash Tool.

I don't think apps are allowed to read other app's data by default anymore?

It is not reading another apps data. It literally is scanning filenames. If you grant an app permission to read/write files, it can read any downloaded file to determine if it is magisk related.

I would be very suspicious of any app requesting such a permission, if it doesn't really need it.
Hi Folks,
Thanks everyone for your suggestions !
I removed all Magisk apps files, applications which needed root (though I'm not root, but was), and this fixed the issue here (I had in my hide list from nova an app called Root Explorer and I think the issue got resolved after I uninstalled it lol).
Have a great evening !
On a side note, moving to A13 ruined my great battery life, sadge.
I had poor battery on Sept A13 release. Oct A13 security release seemed to fix this.
Cheers,
B.D.
