It's clearly spyware on other BBK phones, so safe to assume the same applies to vivo. Reported you again for flaming

So you made a post about an assumption you got ( again ) . You got no proof for what you said but you still report me for flaming ? Thats fine . We all know here that the number 1 flamer on this forum its you . You managed to piss off lots of members here . Get a life , man .

Without root it's not possible to proof what happens, but as all China OS phones forward text messages to Chinese servers, and OnePlus and realme use com.android.mms for this, calling this app spyware on a China OS vivo phone is a very safe assumption. Now removing rights to that app may help but it's impossible to know if it's not secretly still sending personal data to Chinese servers without permission.

It's pretty clear that even the deep debloat script cannot remove all Chinese spyware. It can only remove some and remove all Chinese bloatware.

So as long as you cannot prove this doesn't happen, and knowing that vivo here is just following China law, it's very safe to assume China OS isn't spyware free, or even possible to make it spyware free - because then vivo would not stick to Chinese laws

Its still assumptions . So what you said its considered a lie unless you can proove it otherwise . Most probably you'll be sanctioned . And all the forum will be happy

Sorry but, it was a useless comment. Spying? Okay so you accuse the Chinese of spying? How can you trust other messaging/calling apps more than the Chinese apps? Don't you think other apps are spying?

Just throw your phone in the bin & don't buy one again if you feel you're being spied on.

I just got warned because im stating facts regarding him. You cant talk via assumptions forever, 0 proofs. Vivo name its not appearing in the document he showed, he influences new potential buyers and so on. It was a useless comment like 90% of the what he speaks . But well... It is what it is .

He's accusing a specific race of people of spying, basically he's being racist. He's the one who should have been warned. Not you.

China as a state is not a race. There are several races of people living there, the biggest is Han...

It's well known that the PRC has different rules regarding data security and privacy vs Europe or America. Also clearly as the above study has shown the producers are aware of this and only spy/transmit personal data on their China OS not on their global OS.
I don't doubt that USA and EU also spy, but not to such a high degree. See the discussions around Signal messenger and it's clear that USA/Europe would like more data too. However so far Signal is only forbidden to be used in China. It's well known and acknowledged that WeChat doesn't even send some messages if they contain certain content, like references to Winnie the Pooh and Xi Jingping. So a proper debloat of a vivo phone with China (PRC) OS must include phone and messenger to be spyware free. The same rules that apply to WeChat of course also apply to any sort of messenger/telephone call used inside China.
Vivo phones with funtouch OS instead of Origin OS very likely only send some metadata without permission to China as shown in the study but no personal data.

I reminded everyone to stay on topic and it immediately went back to off-topic. This is a thread about debloating, period. Not politics or witchhunts.



Thread is locked until/unless OP requests it be reopened.

 

[SyCoREAPER]

I am reopening this at the request of a few individuals in the thread.

This is a (second) stern reminder to stay on topic. This thread is being monitored.

For those having trouble debloating with ask for the vivo password, this worked perfectly for me.. Thanks @luontokoodaus

I did not expect to see this unlocked, so I made a new thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/debloat-script-v2-6-vivo-x90-pro.4556209/

Though we can continue in this thread, however I think there is a LOT of off-topic and outdated information here. So I would recommend that we post in the new thread I made and please heed the mod's warning to keep things strictly on-topic.

The new thread still has a link to this one if people need to follow it back for any reason.

Thanks and enjoy your day.

Hello Everyone,

Thanks for this thread. I am expecting to receive my x90PP any day now. I went through every single page and thread in this post and, to be honest, I thought I would sum up what needs to be done, and what cant be done.

What cant be done : android Auto, google assistant, google timeline

What I need to do when I get phone:
1) install the latest google playstore from Apkmirror ( latest is 34.2.14 not 33?) and Gboard
2) use the x90pro_debloat_v2.5 (I see 2.1 2.4 and 2.5. I assume same script updates)
3) here I am boot confused as to whats the main difference between debloat90 and debloatv_deep although the names speak for themselves, but what is the least risky. I presume both take care of notification issue?
4)remove vivo.pem or is it removed with either or both debloaters
5) remove the vivo wallet manually for google wallet to work? or is wallet also removed with debloat script.
6) set refresh rate with adb command to 144 or 90 etc (although not sure why if its there).
7) if using the debloat script is there a need for going to ADB app control to remove further apps?

thanks..Im just trying to make it a one stop thread for people to follow because the post imo is getting lengthy and a bit confusing, yet critical.

PLEASE advise if I am missing any step that I need to take as well?

Thanks so much

@Thanos88 Hi can you please tell me if you managed to solve the issue where WhatsApp's floating notifications (aka chat bubbles) don't pop up and only the icon appears in the status bar whilst the phone is unlocked?

Nope no fix, Vivo said they'd send a update to fix it but they haven't

 

[Tiverask]

@Thanos88 damn... It's the only gripe I have with this phone. I contacted Vivo UK and they said there is nothing they can do since it's a Chinese model. Anyway thanks for the reply.

 

[luontokoodaus]

Go to apps > show system apps > find package installer app > uninstall updates, force stop, clear cache & then clear data > reboot your phone.

It should now install APKs. Let me know if it works

Just wanted to say you are a lifesaver. Thanks. You prevented me from having to reset my phone.

 

[Find791]

Nope - that*s not the problem. I*m using navigation buttons not gestures - so with Vivo launcher uninstalled - nothing happens when clicking on the recent apps drawer. I went the traditional method and followed this video to install Nova (many other places forgot to mention somethings)

Then I finally debloated the phone. Oh and I set DPI to 520 - the default 560 is too high for me (560 in smallest setting).

Have you found a way to fix recent apps with the 3 buttons bar ? I am in the exact situation. But I use KISS launcher. Vivo Launcher takes so much battery.
Thanks man !

 

[MaikTheMachine]

Hi,
i removed some of the apps (not all) with the debloat-Script. Now the weather-app keeps crashing when i try to open it. The widget is still working.
Does anybody know, which package could it be that i have to re enable?
