I have tried uninstalling using adb, it was successful for other apps but these two apps do not seem to want to go away.
My device is on the Latest version of the global release of realme UI ,and powershell is throwing an error 'delete_failed_internal_error'
this is the command that I used - 'pm uninstall -k --user0 com.heytap.market'. I was able to successfully delete the browser and similar apps using this command. I tried searching for device administrator but but both of those apps are not device admin either.
PLEASE HELP.
I need to try out your method. By the way do you remember which stock apps you had removed without a system error?

Game space, browser, google duo, play movies, theme store and weather
Try app market and game center and do tell what happens.
I am always getting this message "Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]" and hence I decided to wait for root access.

Can u please describe the procedure how u uninstalled the system apps because i also want to remove them.Sorry this reply is not related to your solution.
Game center cannot be deleted. I tried too on 6 pro. Doesn't work. That and Oroaming.
You can try using this command:
pm disable-user --user 0 com.heytap.market
will not work

Using ADB to remove some bloatware apps

@chinmay kumar you can use adb to remove apps by using adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package-name>. This command will likely remove all packages that you want to remove. It does give error in some cases like while uninstalling game center on realme 6. This command can be used on many devices I have tried it on redmi note 7, realme 3 and realme 6.
Here is a guide you can follow - https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
and other one is https://fossbytes.com/delete-bloatware-from-android-preinstalled-apps/.
Here 0 represents the user id...so you may want to look on which user an app is installed. Refer to the guide for adb installation and more.
Sorry, I also couldn't uninstall app market, game center from my device.
But I uninstalled oroaming successfully.
pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.redteamobile.roaming
Use this to remove oroaming.

Hello all,
I found a nice little guide, which works on most of the android phones - if you want to remove system apps, but do not want to root.
All credits to dosangst on Reddit!
Working ADB connection is required.
And as always, be careful what you remove! Removing critical apps will result in bootloop and you have to reflash firmware/ROM.
1. connect device, make sure ADB is working (check with CMD "adb devices")
2. go to shell, using CMD "adb shell"
3. get list of install packages using CMD "pm list packages" (use google to find out what does each package name means).
4. remove package using CMD "pm uninstall -k --user 0 $packagname" (e.g. pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.inputdevices)
5. if correctly typed, you receive message "SUCCESS"
Optionally a reboot might be required.
Thanks.
@davebugyi
thanks for this thread. working great.
Thanks bro
In fact , we can use some data erase software , of course ,we need to install it form its website, it isn't free
Thanks thanks thanks!!! Yeah
Thank's, working good on P9 too.
Could anyone please enlighten me (and all others who might wounder) which of the system apps that can be removed "safely"?
I went form a OnePlus X and got the P10 mainly cause I got it for 359$ / 313€ without contract but I really don´t like bloat apps. HiCare might be OK to have but Notes, Music, Videos, E-mail, Health, Gallery and possibly some more apps are just a waste of space since I prefer other apps for that. I guess I just could make a folder and put all Huawei bloat inside of it and just feel a little sick each time I scroll by it so it would be nice to remove as much of it as possible.
I would happily donate a beer to the person who comes up with a list of "safe" apps to remove.

I want to know too, what apps we can remove safely.
Is it safe to remove "Huawei Mobile Services"? Also, it is so weird that my P10 has facebook and facebook messenger as system app...
nice

How is this possible?
Android mount /system as readonly when device boots. Due to that (seems) not possible to uninstall apps from /system. I think you are uninstalling apps that are installed on /data/app but not /system apps.
Apps installed on /data/app can be unistalled accessing to android settings -> apps -> [select a app] -> uninstall

I do not know the technical background, but probably it evokes some special user priviliges hidden in the system.
To be honest I never checked where are those apps located.
For example try to uninstall GBoard (vtr-l29, B151)- not possible, not even the disable function. With this method it could be removed.
The apps are only removed for the current user. Detailed info is here: https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
I was practising this method months ago and I just found out that after I rooted my phone apparently the apps are still inside data folder. Or maybe something happened in between that I wasn't aware of.
Tried to remove com.android.calendar but no luck
OMG, thanks dude! :*
Thanks
Works great on Huawei Y5 201 7 also
any way to revert changes without a fact reset?
People if you don't like the original Huawei apps you probably don't like the default launcher. Why not just use for example nova launcher and hide all the apps that you don't use from launcher. Also you can change settings in advanced apps settings to use apps you prefer as default. Like gmail as main mail app, Google photos for gallery and so on.
64GB is enough to keep all those apps there.
Hello. I've just updated to miui 9.5 global stable. I have also flashed twrp and rooted with superuser. The problem is that I can't unistall system apps with system app remover pro, althouth that with previous miui didn't have this problem. When I try to unistall any system app it says ''failed umistall''. I have also tried some other apps as root unistaller, but the problem remains. Please any help.
You could try adb, but be careful. You need to know what to uninstall and what to not uninstall. Download platform-tools, use a command prompt (cmd) to access the platform-tools folder, connect your phone via USB debugging, enter adb devices into the command prompt, and list all the packages with adb shell cmd pm list packages
All the apps on your phone will be listed as their package names. You can uninstall (or disable) these packages by entering pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of package>
You can disable packages (and renable them if something goes wrong) with command pm disable <name of package>
Uninstalling works whether you're rooted or not. I think disable only works if you're rooted, but IDK.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/6ftg72/want_to_completely_disableuninstall_those_pesky/
The problem with this method is, you need to know exactly what to uninstall or your ROM will get screwed up. Like UI will stop working. In that case, you have to factory reset and start again. So backup all your files before attempting this.
I'd use Titanium Backup that way you can initially backup the app before uninstalling and delete later once you're 100% sure you no longer need it (although save the backup to a Micro SD or PC anyway).
If you're going to use ADB then the PC Inspector app will help identify the correct app to uninstall.
Edit: Are you 100% sure you've got full root? Have you checked with something like Root Checker (joeykrim)?

How do I go about completely uninstalling a system app on a rooted device?
My searches resulted in
- non-rooted approach of disabling/uninstalling the app for the main user via 'pm uninstall -k --user 0'. I'm interested in a complete uninstall.
- references to Play Store apps. I'd rather have a cmd-line or script approach if possible.
Background:
I'm trying to downgrade my version of com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
- trying to install an older version results in Failure:
Code:
pm install -r -d /sdcard/Download/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox_6.13.25.21.>
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE]
- so I figure I need to completely uninstall it first.
If it makes a difference, the device is running LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.2)
thanks

Download RootBrowser here :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree
Open Root browser , then go to /system/apps
Search for the Velvet folder and delete it , then reboot your device .
Warning:
This may cause random Force Close and several issue due the link between google app and other apps.
Thanks for the tip about Velvet
It was found under /system/priv-apps
After removing Velvet (I copied it to /sdcard so I could easily restore it later), I was able to install an old version of googlequicksearchbox.
I then put Velvet back.
And the old version of the quick searchbox app (with the swipe-right to dismiss feature) seems to be working.
Thanks!

I was very dissapointed to see that Oneplus now ships more bloatware such as Facebook with it´s phones. While you can uninstall the app itself, there are a few Facebook-related frameworks in the background that cannot be uninstalled that easy. However with a couple quick ADB command you can solve that problem in a few minutes. With this method you can remove unwanted apps for the (current) user while not touching the firmware thus keeping OTA updates working.
You need:
- A Computer
- Fastboot --> I use: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
- USB - Debugging ENABLED on your phone
How to do it:
Simply connect your phone via USB and open the ADB command window and type the following
("-k" will leave the cache intact, you ca remove this part if you want to clean up even more. However I had problems without it in the past in rare cases so I included it)
Code:
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.appmanager
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.services
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.system
Once thats done reboot your phone. Done.
thx for the guide..
just wanna ask, if there is root, can the "-k --user 0" part be omitted to really completely remove all facebook trash?

With root I would try this instead.
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm -rf /system/app/[I]unwanted.apk[/I]
rm -rf /data/data/[I]package[/I]
mount -o ro,remount /system
exit
Even without root you could leave the "-k" out but since it only leaves the cache intact I thought to include it just in case.

thx a lot..
since this time its deleting the apks directly, could you provide the apk file names of the facebook framework as well?
or better, add them to the first post so that others may benefit..

Sure here you go:
Code:
com.facebook.system -> Facebook App Installer
com.facebook.appmanager -> Facebook App Manager
com.facebook.services -> Facebook Services
But with root I would just use an app instead else its too much a hassle

I always used Titanium Backup for uninstalling apps however there seems to be an expection with OOS were it can´t remove the apps from the system folder making it useless. I have to check that.
As for disabling vs removing the files, you are right there´s no difference between them when it comes to stopping them from working on the backround and so on.

Lovely ! Thanks a lot.
When the next OTA update will be released, will the apps reinstall again on the device, or it is a one-time thing to do ?

my OPN just arrived today, and i discovered that beside Facebook, there are also Instagram & Messenger pre-installed..
while the latter two apps can be uninstalled, are there any framework apps related to these 2 apps that should be disabled?

Since instagram and messenger are from Facebook they all share the same "behind the scenes" framework. So you don´t have to disable anything else.

Specifically: com.facebook.services , com.facebook.system , com.facebook.appmanager, uninstall these in adb. Thankfully instagram is not a system app, uninstall is enough :good:

"delete failed user restricted" Getting this error while removing bloatware in Vivo using ADB. Help me out. Only while removing some app packages, I got this.
What device, and which app,packages?
At a guess, the packages were installed as Sysem apps, and you need to be root to removem them. Ifm you aren't rooted, simply using ADB won't help, because you won't have the required permissions.

I tried to remove Jovi and it gave me this, Maybe as you said as I am not rooted, it can't get in deeper and remove it.
Same problem here on my Vivo Note X. pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.vivo.abe or pm disable-user --user 0 com.vivo.abe didn't work and needs root what sucks.
Looks like they blocked it in OriginOS Ocean, because it worked on older versions.
