[Q] Apps

I know this topic has probably been talked about already, and I am pretty sure I have already read a thread exactly like mine, but the question gets asked and then it goes off in different directions not giving an exact answer.
I have a Galaxy Nexus, brand new as of Saturday Jan 4. As soon as I got it, it got an update, I'm guessing to Android 4.0.2 since that is the version I have. My question has to do with My Verizon Mobile app, the Books app and the Email app. Will disabling these apps screw up anything with the phone, like are they very connected to any other apps or setting with the phone ?
Also, is disable like delete, if not how do I truly delete an app ? And while on topic of getting rid of things i dont use that wont effect the phone/other apps/anything, what other stock apps that come on the phone from the start could I get rid of with no side effects at all ?

Those 3 should be able to be disabled with no adverse effects.

Disable is just like it sounds. It removes the app from menus and stops it from running. In order to fully 100% delete system-level apps, you must be rooted.
There are many different threads/lists of "safe to disable" apps.

[Q] [B506] Background apps get closed and can't receive notifications

Hi all,
Has anyone experienced this with B506? Some apps like Telegram or WeChat get closed in the background just after a few seconds and then if someone messages me I don't receive the notification until I actually open the app (which completely defeats the purpose of the notification...).
Is this just a problem with my phone or has anyone else experienced this?
I know it's the app that's getting somehow closed because every time I start for example, Facebook or WeChat, I see the splash screen (which is only shown the first time an app is started).
Thanks for any help!

Are you allowing it to run in the background, and allowing it to startup at boot?

That's the thing, ever since I flashed B506 I lost that setting in the menu where we had the security options and could choose what runs in the background and what doesn't... I thought this was removed by Huawei on purpose. Do you still have it?

Yes, I still have it, and you should too.
Do you have the Phone Manager app? All the options are there.
In settings, Protected apps is the setting for the background apps.

Ugh, I'm so stupid! I froze the Phone Manager app (as well as a bunch of other Huawei apps) without realizing this one is actually needed.
Thanks! It works now!

s20 plus secure folder questions

I'm migrating from the OnePlus 6T to the s20+ and have some apps that need to be secured. Hidden space on the OnePlus is straight forward and pass-code secured. On the s20+ I've created the secure folder and hidden it for maximum security, and created the duplicate apps needed, though the apps that are in the folder are still accessible from the app drawer and open, from the drawer, with a tap, this seems to be less than optimal and not even remotely secure
Is it just me?
I admit I'm old and technologically declined, but dang
I have been looking for what is bound to be a simple answer to this, though no one else seems to be having this issue.
Samsung s20+ SM-g986u
Stock, no root.

You can delete the apps from the drawer. The ones in the secture folder will still be accessible.

Just uninstall them from the main settings. From what I see, the apps are installed independently in secure folder. Ofcourse, all installed apps, you can see in secure folder and add them, but their data is separate.

You can install it from the secure folder and it will be visible only there. Just go add app and play store and install it from within sec folder.

Ahhhh. Thank you! This works.

apps in secure folder are not visible in the drawer, but you can find them in RAM and battery usage... so there aren't completely hidden.

Bloatware remover for oneplus nord Oos 11

I used this apps it's really capable of uninstalling the bloatware on Android 11 Oos. I am not the developer of this apps, just sharing it. But be careful while uninstalling the bloatware apps. You end up in bootloop if you delete the essential system apps. So, be careful while uninstalling the system app, I myself and the developers are not liable in anyway if you brick your phone or any damage caused to your device.

I don't know if this really works, system partition is protected from any tampering. Deactivating shouldn't be a problem, but i don't think it will really remove it, otherwise Android wouldn't boot

Is gboard from Google removable or OnePlus Games without root?
I guess the Google app's contacts, agenda and Google drives aren't removable without breaking those functions in Android?

You need to root your device to remove it.

Confirmed working with root

When I root my device bank-app's for paying don't work anymore and that's what I really need as the most used apps on my Android mobile.
Now I've 5 or 6 apps that I don't update but those apps stay in the list of updates for apps. That is very annoying. Isn't there a way to hide those apps?

You can simply disable in apps options. And you don't even need to root for ir.

I did shut them down and set them off, but the gboard and gamespace app's stay in the list for updates.
Gmail can be set completely off (and even deleted) and don't show up for update.
Just as Contacts and Agenda from Google, but when you set those completely off, Outlook don't work anymore and it's not possible to set a new contact or appointment in the phone or Outlook-app.
Outlook or the Android system give an error like: no native app installed?
Yeah great!?

Control panel? What does that mean? There's an application or software on Samsung/Android devices called "control panel?”

I kept getting system UI errors in Dex. Did a fresh install, no issues. Started uninstalling the usual stuff through the adb app and after again issues. Did a fresh install again and decided to disable the system apps instead of uninstalling them and there were no issues. My thought is that my issue was related to what shown in the settings app as I usually uninstall digital wellbeing and tips and these options would be gone from the settings, now when they are disabled they still show but dont react when pressed.
Do you still have shortcuts of one of the apps you uninstalled/disabled in the control panel?
