Package Disabler Pro (PDP)

[mtnecho]

For those of us that don't want to root....Post up your success (or failures) with using PDP!!

I personally haven't done anything with it yet but it was helpful with my S6 Active. Hoping for someone a bit more gutsy than myself to see what is ok to disable and what we shouldn't touch.

Used on my S6 Edge Plus, installed on my S7 Edge, hit 'disable bloatware' and so far no issues. Still way too early to tell if everything is functioning correctly. I'd rather disable all recommended bloat and then see what issues there are (if any) than go one by one.

Might have to give this a shot, I hate the amount of apps that Samsung, AT&T and to some extent Google have loaded by default on the phone.

I just hit the disable all bloatware button. It took out samsung pay and my weather clock. After enabling all of the appropriate apps, the work once again.

It might have been smarter for me to go through this thread first which is what I am doing now. It's for S6 but I'm going to guess that most of it will apply.

I can't get the app to work. It won't activate the license. It tells me to disconnect proxy and VPN connections which I didn't know I was using. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Do I need to give anymore information? I'm using an AT&T Galaxy S7.

Nevermind, I figured it out. It seems that AT&T uses a proxy on their cellular data. When I connected to WiFi the license activation worked fine.

I used it yesterday didn't get any extra sot with it and it seemed to make my screen go bonkers, it was extra overly sensitive so I took it off and my screen went back to normal, still sensitive but not nearly as bad

There is another app in Google Play,
If you have time, try to use this app "App Package Disabler (Samsung)" on Google Play
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kunkunsoft.packagedisabler
It work well

why use PDP? just use Debloater tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294

I've actually had good luck disabling some services with this and freeing up RAM. Not sure how this works without root but it's nice to have. Still feel we need root for other things but this app worked for me.

I've been using Package Disabler Pro since I got my S7 Edge...

Battery life was terrible in the beginning and then I kept fine tuning and fine tuning and fine tuning until I eventually reached some good battery life but it wasn't consistent.

Then I tried the GearVR and it installed some more apps and battery life started to suffer again.

I wasn't sure what the issue was exactly so I kept fine tuning and adjusting. I read online that Package Disabler Pro can actually impact battery life if you disable too many apps.

So I went back and only disabled a minimal number of apps... Still battery life was back and forth... Some days okay but other days battery drain would be awful.

So just for fun, I uninstalled Package Disabler Pro and manually went through and disabled each Application/Permissions through the Application Manager one by one (System & User Apps).

Now my battery life is phenomenal!

Seriously, I am getting about a day and a half off one charge (almost two days) and a SoT of between 6-8 hours consistently <- obviously this depends on how heavy your usage is.

I just charged my phone today with 5 1/2 SoT @ 25% battery left and 1 day 12 hours since last charge.

Very excellent results... So if others out there are having issues, try uninstalling Package Disabler Pro and doing it manually. Sure it takes time but the results have been amazing for me.

Interesting - Package Disabler free is available on the store but not seeing the pro version, even though it was there last week. I wonder what's up with that?

 

[AndroiderM]

It was pulled from the playstore, ez package disabler is still there and most think it works better.

 

[jpcdeux]

I've used Package Disabler on every Samsung to disable the every app of AT&T Bloat. Although some **** still shows up in battery usage.

Hi,

I have been using EZ package disabler since I got my S7 Edge and I am happy with it. Unfortunately, when the software update came, with too much excitement, I forgot to enable all disabled apps prior to updating the firmware. I have updated the firmware with apps disabled. What problem should I be facing? What should I do? Currently I am not experiencing any problems but I suspect that the disabled apps where not optimized. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Anxious to see what you hear back on this - I'd like to know what I might face if I did the same (accidentally of course!)

RIght now, my apps edge appears that an update is available. But whenever I click the update, it won't update even if all apps are enabled. I am not sure if this was caused by the firmware update but this apps edge update just came up together with the firmware.

Thank you ! I debloated an S5 I was given using package disabler pro as my intention is to use it only for dash cam purposes , It has no SIM in it so I dunno if it will even get marshmallow update when it's available from AT&T, but if I do see an update available and am on wifi with it I'll re-enable everything. Thanks again !
