Rooted: Managing users apps from main owner's account?

I've rooted my Tab S 8.5 and have installed SU, Root Explorer and Titanium Pro. I was able to easily freeze and remove a bunch of the samsung garbage that came stock but I'm not sure where to find the apps for ALL users. Is there a way for my admin account to dive into the root for the entire OS and remove/freeze apps and processes? I'm a little rusty around here. I haven't rooted since my Droid Incredible.
Also, I installed SU on both users, so that should keep the other user from root access. I'm hoping to avoid buying another copy of Titanium for the other user. Am I able to simply copy it from my user data to the other?

Why don't you just use system app remover, it's free.

You mean the built-in android app remover? Even though it's rooted, it won't remove apps that were baked into the stock ROM. Only gives me the option to uninstall updates like it did stock.

Tabs S changes.

Hi all,
I hope this is the right to post.
I am at the point of throwing my SM-T800 in the bin. This Samsung bloatware is getting beyond a joke.
I have been toying with the idea of putting a custom ROM on it just so that I can get rid of all this Samsung crap.
Do I need to go that far or can I just put a rootkit on the tablet or maybe there is some other way to achieve my goal.
At the moment I’m just looking for ideas. Anything that could help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Graeme.

I haven't had much of problem with this. One way to get rid of Samsung bloatware, is to go into settings > applications. Go through the list of every app. If you have no use for it, then delete it. If there is no delete option, like with flipboard or "internet", then disable it. This will stop all of its apps services and also will uninstall all of this apps' updates from the storage. Of course, the tablet will not become exactly "fast" after this because Exynos 5 Octa 5420 was a modest SoC, specially when coupled with the QHD screen. However, freeing up some space will be appreciated on the 16GB storage models.
PS: if there is no delete or disable option, click on the storage and at least delete cache and data. At least this will free some storage.

Hi Akopps
I think I may have not made my goal clear.
My aim is to get rid of any unnecessary Samsung software for no other reason than not having them tell me what I can and cannot do with my device. I have owned it for more than 3 years now and it is well out of warranty. I am happy with the performance. It meet my needs. Disabling their software and removing latest updates just seems a bit futile. Samsungs' "Kids Mode" app just updates itself and then wants to take control of what you see. I'm in my early sixties, no young children or grandchildren and with no need for "Nanny" Samsung to tell me what to do.
I just want to get rid of there "preloaded" software. After all, I own the device, why shouldn't I be able to remove the software?
Cheers,
Graeme

I have tried the same but was unable to use any of the how to.

1: gain root
2: download Titanium Backup
3: Remove any bloatware you want with Titanium Backup
No custom room necessary.

I'd prefer something like system app remover or BK package disabler in case something is inadvertently removed that causes an issue. It can easily be restored.

Hi guys,
do you have a personal safe-to-remove apps list?
I've tryed following the ones already discussed in this forum section aswell as others but I've encountered some freezes/reboots. (For example by removing BBCAgent , BeaconManager and Context Service).
Thanks for your time and happy new year! (tab s still going strong after 3.5 years yay)

And how do you gain root on the Samsung MM Rom?

You need to flash superSU with twrp or odin I guess.
Give this thread a read.

True. That would definitely be the safest bet. I've made a few stumbles before uninstalling something by mistake.

Tonyspo is mostly correct. Flash TWRP using odin, boot into TWRP, flash superSU. However, if you're only goal is to remove preloaded apps, I'd suggest taking ashyx's advice and just install BL package disabler from the app store. I use that on my Galaxy S7 and it works great.

I've tried odin, but in download Mode all of my PC's won't recognize the tablet. When booted everything is fine (but than I can't flash)
I've read its because Samsung removed the Option in the Rom to get root rights.
I've also tried Heimdall and I only get error msgs.

I guessing you're actually in recovery mode not download mode if the tablet is recognised when booted to the os.

It says it is the Download Mode
pretty sure it is the correct one

In that case what makes you think your device isn't detected in download mode?
Screen shots would help.

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.

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...

Anyone have lastest samsung pro apk, its blue i believe i have liscence but lost APK

Root finally! But what do I do now?

Thanks to this forum I managed to root my phone with Magisk. I am really excited at the same time, I have no idea what "cool things" to do now? Any suggestions? In the old days I used FireSheep with a rooted phone but I guess that doesn't work anymore.
Any apps I should try or windows programs to do cool things (debloat, secure the phone etc.)?

Possible features if rooted are
1. AFWall (firewall)
2. XPrivacyLua (restricting rights of apps)
3. AdAway (ad blocking)
4. ACCA (battery charging management)
5. Migrate NG (backup and restoring)
etc.
