[Q] 5.0.1 made me realize I want to uninstall UP and Wellness - Asus ZenWatch

Hi,
I've been on 5.0.1 since yesterday. Didn't have any issues with battery before, and now it seems even better.
However, wishing to be fully optimized, I see on the new battery usage option, that besides the 'screen', next in line of battery consumption are 'UP' and 'Wellness'.
Any way to get rid of them, or at least stop them from running?
Thanks

Hi, you can disconnected UP from receiving data, but not remove the program on the watch, as fare as I know.
WELNESS I have the same problem. I want get rid of that too?

What about using:
Code:
adb shell pm disable [I]package_name[/I]
I found conflicting information on whether root is required for that. And of course we'd have to figure out what the package names are.

Easiest way i can think of to get the package names would be to run "adb shell top", then scan through the processes until you see the one that your looking for. if they're not listed, just open them on the watch and they should pop up

Well, it looks like the package manager (pm) does require root.
Edit...Oh, and you can get the package names with:
adb shell pm list packages
I was able to uninstall the Amazon app with a simple:
adb uninstall com.amazon.mShop.android
since that was just installed by the Amazon app on the phone.
But trying:
adb uninstall com.jawbone.upopen
results in:
Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]
I'm sure we'll get this thing rooted soon, and then it should be an easy matter to disable or delete any of the pre-installed apps.

Thanks for the responders above, looks like we'll have to wait

I'd like to get rid of this garbage too. Let me know if you figure it out...

Would also like to get rid of these, I do not use my watch for fitness related stuff and the Wellness app just doesn't even work right. Don't even get me started on the stress level -_-

Disable apps?
So if we can't delete them because we need root, can we disable them? Like using the disable function in application manager...would that work through ADB without root?
I'm in the same boat..can't stand having 3 fitness apps installed (fit, wellness, up) and I do not use my watch with ANY of them! Between battery and overall responsiveness, you can't tell me that having all 3 of these running don't have any effect.

It would be awesome if we can figure out how to uninstall unwanted wear-only apps. Seems like a first generation kind of flaw that'll only get better.

[MOD] Freeze Battery-Draining Services | 6/14

This Mod is flashed through CWM to enable 2 simple all-in-one commands to Freeze/Defrost SNS, DRM, and System Updates. Downloads at the end of this post. Read on to learn what they do and how to easily use them!
Fully Flash-able Test Version HERE
Freeze SNS, DRM, and System Updates for Better Battery
These services are, generally, best kept frozen 99.9% of the time. Not deleted, as I've experienced problems if they are actually removed, but disabling them saves me noticeable battery life.
You can use Titanium Pro, MyToolbox, ,Bloat Freezer, or Mybackup Pro to freeze services, but that's only after you've installed a rom. Then once you boot in, you have to buy and download that app, and then navigate a huge list of services to freeze.
But it only takes one line of code per service you want to freeze. That's right, the following commands can be entered into a terminal like Terminal Emulator to disable these processes:
Code:
su [I](Gains root)[/I]
pm disable com.sec.android.providers.drm [I](Disables DRM launcher)[/I]
pm disable com.sec.android.app.sns [I](Disables sns)[/I]
pm disable com.samsung [I](Disables updates)[/I]
However, these commands are lengthy, not easily memorized, and just a pain to write. The best solution I can come up with is to simplify the commands.
[Note] You do not want to do this if you don't understand how freezing these services may affect your day-day use. This will save some battery at the definite cost of DRM content functionality and Facebook Contact integration.
How To Use This Mod:
Still using Terminal Emulator, after you flash one of the linked .zip files, all you will have to type is the following:
To Freeze Services:
Code:
su
superfreeze
To Defrost Services:
Code:
su
superdefrost

I am still in the works to make this work entirely solo once flashed from CWM.
PS: If you're looking for a free alternative to any of the apps I listed up above, this isn't it. This is only one small, dedicated part of those apps. I highly recommend buying one of them, you'll find them very useful.
PPS: This mod, and subsequent versions of it(hopefully!), is for the Epic 4G. I cannot guarantee that the script is accurate to any other phone. But the commands themselves are universal across Android.
Thanks to paulobrien for his explanation found here!
I can't answer you script question, but I have one of my own. Are those commands permanent, or will I have to type those in everytime I turn my phone back on? I'm assuming the latter, since you want to be able to do it easier.

These commands are indeed permanent on reboot. Pm Disable is exactly the function apps like Titanium use when "freezing" services. The goal is, I would like these commands to be executed while my rom is installing. I used a similar .zip file as a skeleton for the layout, but I'm just not sure what additional coding is required to make this work. I'm 99.9% positive it can be done.
Oh ok. So I now don't have to disable the drm or sns anymore. Cool, if I ever needed to re-enable them, what would I type in?
Sent from the only thing i need.
Surprisingly logical, you just have to type enable instead of disable.

It's a shame, it'd be nice to have a rom install with some services like this disabled by default. Then there could be a matching patch to re-enable them if needed.

I'm guessing that the Android runtime system has to be fully initialized and running for the pm command to work, and it's not in the limited runtime of the recovery environment.

That seems to be the problem, because I've gotten the tiny files themselves to run in the terminal, which is at least useful for streamlining this operation! But I can't get them to do anything in recovery, it just has no effect.
So I have come to the conclusion that this cannot be done from CWM due to reasons I've explained in post #1.
However, I have posted a workaround CWM flash-able which, still using Terminal Emulator, simplifies the commands down to 2 simple codes.
UPDATE: Turned out I posted bad .zip files with out of date updater scripts. The links have been fixed and should work as described in Post #1!

Yup, kinda! The guys that wrote apps to freeze services deserve a lot of credit. They are fairly easy to use in bulk.
I wish I could make this automatic, but this way I only have to type two easily memorized commands to stop/start the 3 services I hate most!
UPDATE: Mediafire mirror links posted for when megaupload wants to be wonky.
You might be able to make this fully automatic with tasker. There is an option "device boot," there is the ability to launch an app, and to type, then close the app. Might look a little sloppy, but it should definitely work. I'll try it and report back later today.
EDIT: Works like a charm. For the Context, go into Event, System, Device Boot. For the Tasks, choose App, Load App, Terminal Emulator, then Input, Type, enter the text, then choose Input, Button, Back twice to close out of the app, as the Kill command will just restart it.
For what it's worth, there must be a way to have an application start off as disabled, because that's how CIQ starts, as far as I know. Perhaps the dev of the paid application Autostarts can shed some light on it for you.

Thats a nifty trick! Now I could patch Tasker and it's data into the rom itself. Now here's the question, is Tasker a persistently running battery draining service?

That may be true, but SNS, Updates, and DRM have to run consistently. Unlike some certain apps that run non-stop for no reason.

I actually tried that, but the command "pm disable" just doesn't do anything from recovery for me. Unless I'm not calling for a function I need or something. Still toying around with it. I even tried to just patch it into one of the existing init.d files, but still no result.
Update: I'm a noob at developing. I can roughly understand existing script enough to rearrange it, but if somethings missing, I probably can't spot it. Haha

Sideload and Remove apps...

I there is a lot of information about all the cool things we can do with our knew watches, but I thought I would link to a solution to a problem which has vexed me since purchasing my watch.
Android installs all wear capable apps to your watch without your control.
Well, now you have control.
Take a look at this doc.
Take a look at this doc.
Now, the document is a bit old, as you do not even need your phone, but it will give you the commands you need. You can plug your watch directly into your computer and manage your apps through adb (and possibly total commander, but I am not certain about that one). I tested this to remove apps I want on my phone but not my watch (Goodbye Lowe's and Amazon). You do not even need root to do this with regular apps, and as the author points out, using this method you can even sideload full Android Apps.
To interact with the device specifically, you change the code a little. For instance, instead of removing an app by...
Code:
adb -e shell pm uninstall -k com.glTron
You use
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall com.glTron
Be warned, if you uninstall a system app, or a dependency, things will be bad. However, if you stick to apps you know are user apps, this is relatively safe (the big system apps do need root permission to disable or uninstall).
Credit goes to Copyright:*corbin - Hacking Android Wear*and*EpicLPer. Great work!
I found the thread over in the wear development forum. There, they are compiling a list of full Android apps which work on wear.
Find that here.
Good luck.
Just got the watch and I've been playing with it the past few days. Did actually ruin some things trying to sideload system all's but restored it all just fine. Setting the DPI to 200 works really well with a lot of regular Android apps (adb shell wm density 200) without any negative effects to the UI or stock Android Wear apps (in fact they don't seem to be affected by the DPI change at all). Stock DPI is 280.
A lot of apps that don't depend on needing a status bar work really well. There's a thread on here on how to sideload and set the stock Google Keyboard as your default keyboard (which works really really well, honestly no issues typing with it). Can use things like terminal, Chrome and ES File Explorer from the watch itself with no issues at all. I'm going to try more apps later and possibly play with the DPI some more.
Apparently there's a way to get xposed working too, haven't tried it yet though. There's also a wayr to apprently get basic gapps and the Play Store working but I can't figure it out. Also can't figure out how to install apks directly from the watch itself. ES File Explorer and terminal aren't letting me install apps. WiFi works fine in all apps if you put the watch in Airplane mode or if you disconnect your phone from the watch. Hopefully we get data and networking over Bluetooth at some point, it'd be awesome.
Anybody try any emulators? I'm interested in trying something like epsxe to maybe play RPGs or something simple that doesn't require too many buttons to play.

How did you sideload and retain wifi? I know that I need to put it in /system/priv-app/ but I have no idea how to push an apk there, and I have no idea where the apk is installed to for me to be able to find and then push over
Unless you are rooted, you do not have permission to write to /system. If you are trying to put regular apps in /system/priv-app/ then I would recommend against rooting. An exception may be (and DarkRazorZ) can confirm, but the keyboard may need to be in system.
Anyway, you cannot merely drop an app in the right place (usually/data/app/) you have to install it. To do so, use this code.
Code:
Adb shell pm install ***.apk
To install the play store, you do need root access and to put it in system/priv-app, but that is one of many hoops. I suggest you check that thread if that is what you intend to do.
I'm not sure how the whole networking with priv-app works, I tried playing around with it but didn't get very far. For Chrome, if I want to use it over WiFi, I have to put the watch in to Airplane mode and reconnect to WiFi. It's pretty quick and easy to do and forced WiFi on for every app. I don't know of any other way.

Thanks for the hint on DPI - your are right, it helps side loaded apps, but i noticed that it also makes better use of the google now cards. The text is slightly smaller, and you can get more info (like a text) visible at one time, but still not to small. Regardless of sideloading, i am really enjoying the change to 200DPi (though, it really helps for apps like alpine quest and such which now show the whole thing)

Uninstall Stock Apps?

I am not the best when it comes to rooting or understanding a lot of the rooting acronyms and verbiage. I've looked on the forum and still find myself with questions.
I just got the Huawei Watch and am wondering 3 things:
1. Is there any way to install apps on just the watch itself rather than on both the watch and the phone (Nexus 6P in my case).
2. How do I uninstall apps from just the watch and not the phone?
3. How can I remove apps that come preinstalled on the watch?
There is already a thread here somewhere that talks about using ADB to Uninstall apps on the watch that you don't need.
Yes I see that but it doesn't show me how to do it.

How does this not show you. Gives you all the adb commands:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-watch/help/apps-delete-t3406833
If I uninstall the com.huawei.dailytracker so that I only have Google Fit does anyone know if this will cause stability issues with the device? Would it be better to just leave them altogether?
I'm essentially looking to do what I did with rooting, uninstalling any bloatware or unneeded apps. In this case the Huawei activity tracker and Google Fit are doing the same thing and taking up battery while running simultaneously.

Instant messaging apps do not work on the 5.1

Hi everyone, the issue I am facing is that instant messaging apps (Viber, Facebook messenger, etc) do not work on my 5.1. Notifications settings are OK, unrestricted data access is allowed for these apps, so this is not a notification issue. The apps do not receive messages unless I launch them (when I launch the apps, there are no new messages, they start arriving a couple of seconds after launching). I contacted Nokia, but they did not have a clue... I did everything they asked for (factory reset, etc.), nothing helped.
Does anyone else have similar issues? Does anyone have any idea what the solution might be?
So it's been reported before that Nokia/HMD is the worst for how aggressively they limit background app usage. This can't be fixed in the current stock ROM but Nokia might help us out with Pie (if it ever materialises).

Thanks. It seems that the 5.1 was my last Nokia.
The Android One project is a bit of a farce given the update cycle is so delayed. It's good to have the security of assured updates, but only providing them when the hardware is no longer relevant seems a waste. Also it's possibly the Mediatek chipset to blame, but this phone has not had a great deal of interest on XDA, which could also be in part due to the Android One project making custom ROMs a little less relevent.
You can fix it yourself by uninstalling com.evenwell.emm app from user space. That crappy service which HMD bundles into firmware "improves" battery life by killing all non-system background apps.

com.evenwell.PowerMonitor.overlay.base
I noticed that my 1Password service was still being killed after uninstalling com.evenwell.powersaving.g3.* packages. After removing PowerMonitor stuff everything back to normal and Nokia 5.1 Pie became usable again
I have the 2gb variant and its no use. Its a crappy phone... No notification what so ever even after disable/uninstall the evenwell apps and battery saver etc apps. Its no use as doon you start browsing only Google apps remains active. All other are killed. Not a android one phone. Its a stupid phone!!!
I believe I have found the definitive answer for this, after much googling around.
I have a 5.1 Plus (TA-1108) and tried the ADB disabling of evenwell apps and others but it still would stop services after restarts. I eventually found a post on the "Don't kill my phone" Github which alluded to the hidden setting of the "Duraspeed" task killer that is bundled.
The dontkillmyphone website says you can ADB in and change this hidden setting to 0, but this doesn't persist after a restart. The value will still be a 0, but it seems this task killer only reads the value after it detects a change in the value (bizarre, I know). So to disable this Duraspeed thing, you need to change the hidden setting value from something else to a 0 on each boot.
Luckliy, this is very easily done by Tasker/Macrodroid/etc. Use this post:
https://github.com/urbandroid-team/dont-kill-my-app/issues/57#issuecomment-484000884
but the short of it is to enable WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS to tasker (by running this:
adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
for tasker, google for your app of choice)
and then set a task that runs on boot to change a "Custom Setting", Global type, setting name setting.duraspeed.enabled to a value (doesn't matter, I use 2) and then immediately after change the same setting to 0.
I have this set up on my phone and my wifes phone and ever since they have been perfect with background services (my Garmin watch, lastpass, etc) as well as any email/notification apps.

Question Samsung Fold 4 Debloat

Hey guys has anyone used "ADB AppControl" to debloat app/programs on the Fold 4 yet or even tried this link with the lists they name to debloat?
https://www.getdroidtips.com/uninstall-bloatware-samsung-z-flip-4-z-fold-4/#Samsung-Galaxy-Z-Flip-4-Galaxy-Z-Fold-4-Device-Overview
I've used ADB Control App, no issues.
I'm using Package Disabler, used to be in the app store but now it's cloud based. Used it on my Note 10, Note 20 and have just started to debloat the Fold 4 with no issues. Just have to be careful what you select as it may have something to do with something you use. Fairly inexpensive and works. Also don't need a PC so you can disable on the fly.

I don't believe there is. I always have to use my PC and transfer to the phone. Just tried again on my PC and the site might be down for maintenance, there's a separate DL site and it's not responding either. I'll email them and see if I get a reply.

I'd recommend ADBAppControl. It's free for all your devices, no need to purchase again every time you buy a new device.

Thank you, I used the this app on my windows 10 machine and was able to delete using that app.
I use Icebox, disabled (not uninstalled though) around 100 apps, works a treat!
Been using ADB App Control for my least 3 Samsung phones, Fold 4, Flip 3 and S10+ to freeze apps. Never had any issues, and the extended (paid) version is worth the money, better than some app on the Google Play that needs to rebuy after a major
software version update.

The site is back live again. The only problem with the other app touted here, ADP App Control is that you can't disable on the fly..................you need a PC to make it work.

Just used this to debloat my Fold 4. Thanks for the recommendations. Definitely feels snappier.

I highly recommend ADB AppControl, or any other PC method of disabling bloatware on your phone.
Reason being, if you happen to disable something critical for the phone to operate like normal, like what I did...., then you still have a chance to revert your changes, and avoid having to reset your phone. If I had made the same mistake using an app on my phone to disable bloat, I would have been forced to factory reset!

I respectfully disagree, with the app you can re-enable immediately and not have to wait until you get home to your PC. I have disabled a system I shouldn't and was able to fix it on the fly without a PC or a factory data reset. I have no issues with adb app control but I don't want to have to rely on a PC when I'm away from home. I am proficient in using adb and even that can be reversed without FDR!
