Glad to hear something works. I wonder if an older version of pdp works, as I assume you tried the current version?

Just noticed u said v4.1. I guess not...

PDP will probably have an update to work on 7.1.1 I wouldn't count them out just yet. I love BK, never had any issues, they even reinstated the software update block as well when the note 7 crap cooled down. great app

Just tried Bk Package Disabler and it was able to disable both system update apps. This was my top concern because I do this with every new phone in hopes that there is a root exploit out of the gate. Once you update you may lose your chance at any root methods as the first updates very often are to patch security holes

I had to use BK package disabler and didn't have any problems installing or disabling apps.
Just sucks considering how much I've paid for pdp

I'm going to make a run at adb to set the device owner instead. Let you know how it all goes.

I'm in technology. Paying for software is just not in my blood!

Ok I bought BK. Works, I took out 91 packages, sound about right?
Lol, you said not in my blood to buy but then you bought haha! I buy occasional things but use Google survey so I earn money using that and don't actually spend "real" money

yeah cause I tried to ADB shell the script to enable device ownership and it didn't work. I gave up because the battery loss I saw this AM on my commute was a good 5% more than my s8+ with debloat. Needed to stop the blood flow.

Disabling System updates is the first thing I want to do. What apps did you disable to achieve this for the Note 8?

can't you do that in developer options and just disable automatic system updates?
AT&T found a way to force update regaurdless... So, after using package disable, I never had to worry.

there's 2 system update items under the system tab, I disabled them both. after the Note 7 experience I know that this may not be enough. The updates were re-enabled and I had to use Titanium Backup to keep them disabled. Without root the non-root apps will have to do.
