Question The best App to manage Phone from PC

Can anyone suggest some PC applications that can allow to manage the Phone's App, SMS, WhatsApp, ... from PCs??
I tried some of them but can't find one can work with the Redmi K40.
Thanks.

Sorry bud, no suggestions off hand, but curious... what exactly do you want to manage - backing up messages to PC etc, or sending messages from phone via PC, or what?
EDIT: are you using W10? could try this
or... one of these perhaps

KDE connect is a super app. There is a Windows version as well (however it's complicated to install)

Mark up the app you want to remove and press Uninstall.
You can re-install those removed apps if you need them back.
You cannot uninstall certain apps in non-root devices.

To manage Android applications, there is a wonderful tool - ADB AppControl. This is a new and convenient program. Very easy to use. No root needed.
Does not require installation. If you have Windows and Android device - this program will work for you ;-)

NFC grayed out. I want to disable it. It keeps the phone awake

Dear community,
I own a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 T and I cannot manage to disable the NFC functionality.
It's never been an issue, but after updating to MIUI Global 12.5.2, I noticed that the battery would be drained during night.
I have not installed new apps after the update, and data and wifi are off during the night.
I checked the apps that drained battery during the night, and I found that "Nfc Service" kept the phone awake for 3-4 hours. And used 20 minutes of cpu time or so. Can't remember now, and the battery graph is gone because I recharged the phone.
Is there a way to disable NFC? I never use it. I do not understand why the option to disable it is grayed out.
Before the update, the battery percentage in the morning would be the same as the night before.

check if you can disable the app "Nfc Service" under Settings/app & .../All apps/NfcService
(force stop then disable)
if not use "lucky patcher" or "titanium backup" to freez it (Root)

I can Force Stop the app, but I cannot Disable it.
Rooting the device is not an option, because some important apps would then refuse to work.
I tried with Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools, but I see no entry related to NFC.
Any other ideas?

copy the nfc app name usually in the botom (i removed it) this is just an example :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
example comand :
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.camera
you can use :
adb shell pm list packages
to list all the package you have and disable anything related to NFC

Hi loopypalm, thank you for the recommendation.
The "Nfc Service" app is com.android.nfc.
With the adb command I disabled it, and so now it shows a red icon beside its name. Nevertheless, it seems to be on anyway. It kept draining battery during the night.
I searched for a command to remove a package altogether, and so I ran the following:
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.nfc
Now I don't see the app at all.
I'll keep an eye on the battery drain and report back.

I'm surprised that didn't bootloop the phone. Also MIUI updates suck. (not the ROM itself just the updates)

Nahh you should be fine because even if it's an essential app the phone should work without it.

that comand will not remove the app, it just disable the app for user0 (default user)
(you can restore with : adb shell cmd package install-existing <name of package> )
so , since it's not removed if the system call it it will run ...
man, just imagining a phone without root is a pain

Question Debloated zfold3 but left edge panels and clipboard but clipboard doesn't work?

Does anyone know the apps that clipboard for edge panels rely on? I'm at a loss and would like that feature but I removed a bunch of apps and not sure where to start trying to find which one

Try these... dependencies, don't go too nuts.
Many apks just sit there unless needed. Be especially careful with many small Samsung system apps that modify the UI.

So I deleted the clipboard ui service, any chance you could send me apk? I'd rather not go download some random APK just by searching for it.

It's still there ie if you do a factory reset.
Isn't there a adb command to renable it?
Scan these first with Virustotal.

I've tried those and did scan them using virustotal, none actually install. I didn't disable I uninstalled unfortunately and I REALLY don't want to factory reset

Also Samsung apk names can be deceiving.

Question Disable bloatwares on COS 13 in ADB does not work?

Hi anyone has a clue on how to disable some apps in ColorOS 13, been trying but failed because the state of the app does not change. My main concern is to redirect app links (eg. from ecommerce app to payment app, which usually lands into App Market and said "app not available"). These are things I have tried and not successful:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Package name directly extracted:
cmd I followed:
shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.oplus.ota
Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]
shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.oplus.ota
Package com.oplus.ota new state: default
shell pm disable com.oplus.ota

A couple of suggestions:
-Remove the -k keyword while uninstalling the app
-Add the adb keyword before the shell pm uninstall command

uhmm how do you mean ser? The app can't be disabled, I tried also revoking its permission as well from ADB but failed too.
Workaround anyway to set Play Store as default app store?

I guess no one facing the issue like this, only my device then :/

So you have to disable permission monitoring in colorOS to be able to run adb commands. It's in developer options.

me too... there are some packages like com.oplus.ota that you can not disble/uninstall....
i've searched everywere in forums but there are no solutions :-(

Same issues here with Realme 10 Pro+. Uninstalled several bloatware apps but App Market, Browser and Wallet resist unistallation and disabling.

Question Is there anyway to get rid of this?

I don't want to login or create emojis but it keeps popping up asking if i want to. Any way to remove this?

Package Disabler or a adb edit will stop it from running at startup. You can try to disable or uninstall the app in settings but many times you don't have that option.
Any dependencies it may have will also be affected as well... don't go too nuts.

So which app is that?

I have the OnePlus 10 Pro and I don't believe you can remove it. However, apart from where you see the message it should not appear anywhere else, except maybe within the OnePlus Store app.

I've checked all the packages, nothing is "easy".

Option 1:
Open Termux application
Su
(superuser prompt)
"pm uninstall --user 0 com.oneplus.account"
Option 2:
"adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.oneplus.account"
Reboot
To restore:
"adb shell cmd package install-existing com.oneplus.account"
Option 3:

There is at least one way to solve this on a none rooted Android using adb or ladb as previously mentioned. That's assuming that it can't be resolved in settings or the easiest way using that "random app" I showed you. Pick your poison...
