Hello, I have a problem, when I use the ulta game mode and select to block notifications, the WhatsApp notifications continue to appear.

I have removed the following:

[AMDFenics]

any idea, why this doesn't work anymore? I can disable / uninstal certain apps, but after reboot they are back...

 

[dakship]

The subject of app/bloatware removal/disabling has been mentioned in a few threads throughout the NEX forum,but,not much to mention as far as advancing the discussion,so,I thought I'd start a thread to centralize the topic.
As w/any mods go,this is one that's fairly harmless,worse case scenario,a factory reset will get you back on track,but,ultimately everyone is responsible for their own phone & what happens to it.
With that out of the way..............
1) Any app that can be easily uninstalled by the "uninstall" button is 100% safe,no harm whatsoever. If you want,d/l an apk extractor tool app to make a copy & store wherever,should you change your mind.
2) Now,most are interested in getting rid of as many of the VIVO system apps as possible w/o crippling wanted functionality. This will be an evolving list,& gradually adding to it,with input from anyone interested,I'll update the list right here.
3) OK,the How-To is right here: https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/

4) Now here's what I have so far (see below,I'll edit/add as needed)
Any input regarding adding to the list is encouraged,please only suggest bloatware that you have actually uninstalled yourself & please include any effects on functionality that may have resulted,especially if it affected other apps & their functionality. (question marks below [??/etc...] are in place of Chinese letters/characters)

5) Once again,tried & tested input is highly encouraged & welcome. The list will grow & evolve/be edited on a continuous basis until we all get it figured out. :good:
******** A factory reset will restore all uninstalled apps

******** OTA's shouldn't be affected or affect the status of apps,whether they're installed or uninstalled (unless,of course,you've deleted something pertaining to updates,which won't be listed below)

******** The dates reflect the time of posting/removal,for ease of troubleshooting,in the event something noteworthy gets broken,it gives a good reference where to begin looking for the problem/solution.
*****************************************************************************************************************
I no longer have this phone,soooooo......
I'm looking for someone to take over the thread as the OP,to manage/edit the OP/List as they see fit.
I've already received pre-approval from the Admin/Moderator staff to make this happen,if anyone is interested,P.M. me.............................

DO NOT REMOVE THE FOLLOWING, doing so breaks some functionality:

Gallery (com.vivo.gallery) Breaks ability to change wallpaper on lockscreen & desktop,suspect it also breaks instant access to other 3rd party gallery apps from stock camera app (verification needed)
VIVO Service (com.vivo.daemonService) Breaks option of "screen always on".

on my vivo y69 removing com.android.mms (not com.android.mms.service) messes up 3rd party sms applications, maybe add a note for it

I'll link your post to the OP.

 

[frcraig]

Additionally, make sure you don't turn off any permissions for the stock Vivo Messages app, just set your 3rd party Messaging app (ie Next SMS, Google Messages, Textra, etc.) as the default messaging app. If you turn off permissions from the stock app the 3rd party app won't work. One final bug - notifications for Google Messages won't display when your Vivo is in system wide dark mode, they only show up in light mode. I wrote to Google to ask them why and they told me to ask Vivo!

A quick feedback about removing VivoService (com.vivo.daemonService).

Pros:
- removes the developer mode persistent warning

Cons:
- Shake to start flashlight stops working
- volume down long press from standby stops working
- charging indicator not shown while charging

Note: who dont want that persistent warning but want to retain the cons, just clear the app data for vivoservice after every device restart and the warning goes away

Some additional safe to uninstall:

Cootek (region dependent touchpal crap): Uninstall all cootek as its a malware and google has banned it. More. find all packages by pm list packages | grep cootek then remove all. Sample:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.cootek.smartinputv5.skin.keyboard_vivo
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.cootek.smartinputv5.skin.keyboard_vivo_night
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.cootek.smartinputv5.language.oem.malayan
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.cootek.smartinputv5.language.oem.marathi
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.cootek.smartinputv5.language.oem.indianmaithili
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.cootek.smartinputv5.language.oem.chs.handwrite

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.cootek.smartinputv5.language.oem.tamil
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.cootek.smartinputv5.language.oem.cangjie


System Updater: in 2022 vivo has stopped pushing any type of update, so this option can be removed and frees up unnecesary calls to vivo servers and ram.
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.bbk.updater

Photo frame by BBK: pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.bbk.photoframewidget
(Vivo albums works even after removing this)

 

[mevicks]

I'll link your post to the OP.

Can attest to this for Vivo NEX S as well. Infact never remove these two: com.android.mms.service com.android.mms > Also retain vivo messages app for google messages to work

 

[ethereum]

Yeah
