[Q] Freezing Apps With Root Uninstaller

Alright, so I decided to use Root Uninstaller to freeze some apps such as the AT&T Software Update and various other Samsung apps. Unfortunately, I haven't been unable to unfreeze the apps regardless of whether or not I use Root Uninstaller or Titanium Backup. If I use either Root Uninstaller or Titanium Backup, they each say they have unfrozen the app, but if I go to use the app, It will not work; the phone will not recognize it is even installed.
Any help would be appreciated.

Is it safe to update after removing regular pre-installed apps? (no root)

My title pretty much sums it up. My Zenfone 2 ze551ml arrived today and after updating it to the latest version, I uninstalled the regular pre-installed apps from it. By regular I mean CleanMaster, Amazon Kindle, Omlet Chat, Trip Advisor, etc. Didn't uninstall any Asus bloatware, only disabled them (couldn't do it anyway, since my device isn't rooted for now). Is it safe to update in the future with those applications uninstalled?

No

Apps that have the option to uninstall in settings are safe to remove. You'll still get the ota and success to update. If you uninstalling apps using something that need root access, then it's not safe to remove, doing system update will end in failure.

Yes no problem.
It's only when you remove APK from /system/app that the update will not find the file to patch, and you need root to delete those files.

Snapchat

Hey guys,
My snapchat application stopped working a couple days ago. When I attempt to login it gives me the error, temporary login failed. I have read that this is an issue with other devices that are rooted. Anyone have any solutions? Thanks in advance.

Rooted devices have a little bit to do with the Snapchat Login Failure. Check to see if Xposed Framework is installed, and if it is uninstall it, login to snapchat (which then it'll let you login and see stories from others), and reinstall Xposed Framework if you need/want it on your device.

Thanks for the response. I'm on a custom rom, sick as hell v6. Will that cause issues if I uninstall it? When I go into xposed, the uninstall option is faded out and cannot be selected. How should I go about uninstalling xposed?

As long as you don't have any apps/modules that use xposed framework, then it should be fine. Uninstalling it requires you to download the xposed framework uninstaller (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960) and if you want to, also download the installer and apk. For the S6 and S6 Edge, download the versions with "arm64" marked on the download.
Then copy the files to your phone and simply enter recovery mode and flash the uninstaller. After that, reboot and login to snapchat (also, uninstall the xposed framework app if it still won't login).
If you want to reinstall the xposed framework, then simply install the apk first, then boot into the recovery and flash the xposed installer.
Hope this helped you out
EDIT: Also, Snapchat won't log you out unless you log out or uninstall the app.

No go :/
I flashed the arm64 uninstaller and bootlooped

Maybe it's the xposed framework that's outdated as it was updated ~2 days ago. Try installing the new one and uninstall right after and see if that helps.

The xposed module is hard baked into the Sick as Hell rom. You won't be able to get by that. I know snapchat has been messing around with creating a lock out for rooted phones to prevent apps bypassing their screenshot policy. There are a few articles that describe that. If you're part of their beta program, unsubscribe from their beta group on Google+, uninstall snapchat, download and try again. If that doesnt work, you could try the app Casper temporarily to use Snapchat, but I wouldn't recommend using it all the time as SnapChat will catch on. Hope all this helps.

If you backup Snapchat with Titanium Backup before you install a custom rom with xposed you can restore the backup and have no issues.

Apps installing by them selves, even after uninstalling.

A few days ago random apps started downloading and installing by themselves. Not from the app store, but appeared to be their apk files downloaded from the the internet. It happens few times a day and they keep coming back after I uninstall them. I did a factory reset but that still didn't help. I also unchecked allow installation from unknown sources still doesn't work. I want to get rid of them permanently. How can I do that. Some of the apps are DU cleaner, DU battery saver, Go launcher, APUS, and 4 shareapps. Thanks you.

All of them might be from the sites you go to, advertisements that downloads the apks when you click on some link. Try ad-blocking and only install apps on the play store..

Any app can't be installed by itself without having root access. So if you have a rooted phone, check the list of granted apps from SuperSU and also check your installed apps because there must be an app which is downloading and installing other apps from the Internet.

How to uninstall system apps without unlocking bootloader?

Is there any way to uninstall system apps like mi app store and others.
I've tested 'pm uninstall user bla bla' using adb on my old poco f1 with miui stock rom.
It seemed ok but when i rebooted my phone, it didn't boot up and I had to do data reset.
So I just want to know that is there any way to uninstall because I don't want to unlock bootloader. Sorry for my bad English.

I think you cannot uninstall any system app without unlocking and then root the phone to access system tray.

Have you read this article?
Try it :
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/amp/
Tell here if it works.

It's working. Have done this directly on Day 1, before I could unlock my BL!
I've orientated me on this List, from our Brother, the "big" Mi 9. There is a list of the pre-installed apks, which you can uninstall. Pretty the same like on our Mi9 SE

Thanks a lot, I was searching for a way to do that too, as there is no custom rom yet.
I'll try it right away.

Hi there, I can recommanded XiaomiADBFastbootTools: https://github.com/Saki-EU/XiaomiADBFastbootTools. Uninstall/Reinstaller system apps and services on demand. etc. Need installed JAVA.

Hi, it seems quite cool, does it work properly with Mi 9 SE? Is it safe to uninstall all those apps from this device, too?

Yes I did uninstall all apk here. All is running and you can install all apk back via aplication (reinstall).
