Many thanks for the input. Do you have a better launcher?
Also, regarding the A.I. and photos, will there be an impact?

Also, regarding the A.I. and photos, will there be an impact?
I was told that the "Nova Launcher" is widely in use as an alternative launcher. I have no experience as i use the built in launcher. Not sure what you mean with AI. The huawei gallery is still working . But i use a different gallery app. The photo/camera app is still working too.
After debloating some of it..i can't seem to change the ringtone from sound settings. Why is that? Did i remove something that bricked this? 
However i can change the ringtone from phonograph media player tho.

Hi guys, I would be most grateful is someone could help me with this.
I have a Huawei P40 Lite and I'm trying to uninstall the software updater app because I'm perfectly happy with EMUI 10, everything is working flawlessly and I don't need any features from EMUI 12.
Unfortunately, even though I've revoked all permissions associated with the app, it's still downloading the update and it keeps prompting me to agree to the terms and proceed with the installation. Every day or two I get a fullscreen notification asking me to update, it's really annoying. If I clear the cache (2.6gb for EMUI 12), it just starts downloading it again even though I've revoked the wifi permission for the app and disabled automatic system updates in developer options.
In the past with all my previous phones, I was able to uninstall any app using ADB pm uninstall but it's not working with software updater, I've removed other system apps from this phone but get an error message when it comes to software updater.
My EMUI version: 10.1.0.393
Here are the commands I've tried:
Error message: Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]
Error message: Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]
Error: not allowed to disable this package
Any help/suggestion is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

For anyone who wondering, here is a list of packages which were added and removed in EMUI12 compared to EMUI11:
New packages added to EMUI12:
com.huawei.android.airsharing
com.huawei.contentsensor
com.huawei.devicemanager
com.huawei.hilink.framework
com.huawei.hms5gkit.agentservice
com.huawei.hwdiagnosis
com.huawei.mediacontroller
com.huawei.meetime
com.huawei.ohos.hiwindow
com.huawei.ohos.inputmethod
com.huawei.onehopsvcclient
com.huawei.onehopsvchost
com.huawei.profile
com.huawei.trustedthingsauth
ohos.media.medialibrary
Packages removed from EMUI12:
com.android.egg
com.huawei.android.mirrorshare
com.huawei.frameworkhwext.honor
com.huawei.wifieapsimplmn
I personally removed every new package which came with new EMUI12 without any further problems, except com.huawei.mediacontroller which is needed for media controls in control panel to work properly (removing this package does not remove the controls from the panel)

57Hy all,
As many users asked me what bloatware i removed from my phone and at @Andrei Morar special request, I decided to create a thread with all the packages and their relative details about how each package listed here works on EMUI system for helping all of you who want to safely slim down the number of not used apps which are running in background alongside with some services preinstalled on phone that are not usable, for me and maybe for some others. I leave it to you to take the final choice about what to do with a package, remove it or not, and if you have other packages that you think it’s worthy to keep or remove, please comment bellow and i’ll add or remove that package.
Remember that those applications truly aren’t being fully uninstalled from the device, they are just being uninstalled for the current user (user 0 is the default / main user of the phone). That’s why, if you omit the “–user 0” and “-k” part of the uninstall command, the command won’t work. These two flags respectively specify that the system app will only be uninstalled for the current user (and not all users, which is something that requires root access) and that the cache / data of the system application will be preserved (which can’t be removed without root access). Therefore, even if you “uninstall” a system application using this method, you can still receive official OTA updates from your carrier or OEM.
If something does go wrong, you can always perform a factory reset to bring things back to the way they were. However, there’s an even easier way to bring back an app you uninstalled as this : open cmd-here.exe from C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot and enter the following commands: adb shell cmd package install-existing <name of package you wish to reinstall>.
IF you want to remove ads and you have no root or don't wan't to block your VPN or use Blokada, you can use my trick, it works on both WI-FI and mobile networks, as good as Adaway is doing :
Just set: Settings > Wi-Fi & Internet > Private DNS > dns.adguard.com and you are good without any additional app.
Here is the quick & easy guide for all:
1. Download latest Minimal ADB and Fastboot from here - thanks go to @shimp208 for providing this great tool - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
2. Enable USB debugging from developer options:
- Step 1: go to Settings
- Step 2: find and open "System" option
- Step 3: select "About phone"
- Step 4: tap "Build number" at least seven times and you will see a prompt with “You are now a Developer “. Then go to developer options and enable USB debugging (it's a MUST DO)
3. Connect your phone to your computer and press YES if it asks you to trust the PC
4. Launch cmd-here.exe from C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot and enter the following commands followed by Enter:
- adb devices (make sure your device appears in the list)
- adb shell
- pm uninstall -k --user 0 + the app you want to remove from the list below
- for restarting the device after succesfully removed unwanted package, type reboot and hit Enter, then your device will restart and remove the package from user.
For example:
This command will delete Huawei Mobile Services (including Huawei ID) app:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.hwid

And here you have all the apps above with commands to remove through ADB:
This guide has been used by me on Mate 10 Pro, Mate 20 Pro, P20 Pro and P30. Try it out on your device and let me know how it goes in the comments below!
Appreciate my work? Let me know by paypal.me a coffee clicking on Donate to Me or hit Thanks!4
uninstall also frees up the space used by apps and also it makes sure it won't get auto re-enabled by system. And one more thing, If i just disable them i observed that they are still consuming RAM (according to Developer Options >> Memory).4
They are the same, because they are the official ones, just mooded. You can see what is different reading from here List of mods (latest version):.
