[GUIDE] Disabling system/bloatware apps using temp root

[KeeperOfThePizza]

Instead of freezing.. can i just uninstall?

 

[GabrielSousa]

So...

Does anyone know if it is safe to disable HTC Sense if we are using only Launcher Pro?

com.htc.launcher
com.htc.cs

I know it uses a lot of background memory.

i had disable that 2, i use adw launcher, works 100% for me

It seems like my phone is flying since freezing the bloatware.

is it possible for enabling package again?

sorry for bad eng

Yes. Just type pm enable instead of pm disable. I recommend you keep your phone connected and the shell open while you check if everything is as you want it. YOu might run into trouble rooting the phone again if you break some serious part of the system.

can some one tell me the htc launcher package ?

i use adw, and i wanna stop the sense and the htc launcher

com.htc.launcher

 

[azsl1326]

com.htc.launcher

Someone also mentioned com.htc.cs along with it. I disabled both and it seems to be running fine (running Launcher Pro).

Hmmm looked through all the packages and didn't see anything that stood out as the Mirror app. Doesn't show up in system info. Maybe someone more learned than me can pick it out. I don't plan on disableing it but I'm really curious now. There were a couple of packages that were com.htc.[insert 3 random letters] that I didn't know what they are. Maybe it's one of them.

Mirror is a part of camera, can not be disabled AFAIK.

You're posting from Iran? I thought Ahmadinni and the rest of the Revolutionary Guard had the internet locked down there.

Yeah. I've got both of them disabled and it works flawless.

Anyone else having trouble accessing their Picasa albums after disabling apps? When I try to open an web album, all I get is a flashing/strobe light effect screen and no pictures load.

That's correct. We had to mod it out of the camera apk in Virtuous Unity, so I know for certain.

Great app to use for this purpose. All package names aren't so obvious as to what they disable so that's where I use this app. Maybe rmk could add this as a side note in the op? Just so there aren't alot of posts asking for package names when its so simple to use this program
