Yes, I'm also encountering this while using smart launcher.
Haven't tried any package disabling apps yet. Next on my to do list.

Package disabler is worth every penny. It's basically a root feature without root. Frees up a good chunk of ram too.

Cannot uninstall Instagram Note 4

Hi All,
Im a noob.But my dilemma is since I opted to install the ota update that popped up when I got my Note 4. I am now unable to uninstall Instagram. All i can do is disable it. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
Yes.
Instagramm is pre-installed (system app) and can't removed without root.
Just disabling works

Disabling it is really almost just as good as uninstalling it. My problem is with Evernote, I can't even disable that one. I really hate that program, and if anything will make me root it would be to get rid of evercrap.
Thank you guys for the help. The Note 4 is taking me some time to adjust to. I'm coming from the Note 3, I thought the transition would be a lot smoother. I like to use themes for my facebook, twitter and instagram- making it a bit more feminine but I don't know if it's possible since instagram is now a stock application. Sheesh!!

The app being installed on system shouldn't affect themes or anything? The app can still be modified and updated, just not uninstalled.
How disabling the app helps?
If you disable notifications and syncing in the app, why disable the app?

I have every possible app disabled at this point, however you can't download and install a new or custom version of IG I've tried at least 5 diff times ... :\ I'm going to end up rooting to unog my bloatware I suppose. If you figure it out let me know.

AT&T and Samsung bloatware

Anyone got a list of system apps we can safely disable?
Just disable all of the AT&T stuff. I haven't had any issues.

Thanks for this. My device has been running much slower than my note 5 was. Hoping this helps.

No problem.
For what it's worth: After I disabled these I booted to Recovery and wiped the cache partition.
It was stuttering and laggy for the day, but after updating everything and a couple of reboots things have seemed to settle in nicely. Good luck!

Here is my Updated disabled. I had an issues with enhanced audio set up because of a package I had disabled. Also, I dot use Android Pay, Gear Stuff or VR stuff. https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ajwyu5YpXo8VnyywF6caYaVEc3nL

Which package specifically was the problem with enhanced audio. Want to check and see if I have that one disabled.

It was either AudioConnectionService or SapaMonitor.
You can tell if you go:
Settings>Sounds>Sound Quality and Effects>Adapt Sound.
If adapt sound opens up then you are good. If adapt sound doesn't open after you tap on it, then you would need to re-enable one of the above. Sorry I don't remember exactly which one it was. But, its one of those. I actually have them both enabled with no change in performace or battery life btw.
Let me know if you need more help.

This is mine. I'm not being very aggressive with disabling things, I use a gear watch, file sharing, etc, so...

935U Sprint App Compatibility

I'm thinking about moving to the 935U ROM for the sake of faster updates and removing some bloatware.
I do use Wi-Fi Calling, so I was wondering if anyone had setup the app successfully with the 935U ROM?
I also use the Sprint voicemail app - and i did find that the older apk works, just wondering if you there's been any compatibility issues?
Thanks

When I was using this firmware, wifi calling was built into the phone app. I couldn't get voicemail to work though. I also couldn't get the Kids mode app working.

I'm using the Wi-Fi calling and it fine. It's just there's no Voicemail app. I installed the Sprint Voicemail on it, but it's having a hard time connecting.
no sprint vm apk's will work because they have dependencies on some other sprint apps which wont work properly because they have some on system files.
So unless someone debugs and finds all of those and ports them never gonna happen.
Unless sprint gets finger out of butts and makes a proper VM app like the other providers. This is them basically not supporting unlocked phones.
Ive been on 935U since it was available to install and generally love it. Excellent battery life. WIFI calling works fine for me as long as the wireless connection is solid. No voice mail app though and Sprint apps do not work on it which I have gotten used to at this point. I prefer not having all the bloat.
I have been having a couple issues recently, not sure if due to the latest security update. Ive had issues with the keyboard coming up blank, text messages being delayed and/or coming in all at once at the same time, and today I happened to check my voice mail and there was a message from this morning but my phone never rang. I have even had a complete lockup/reboot recently which I never had on this firmware. So not really sure whats up.
I have been thinking about getting back on a Sprint firmware for when Nougat is ready so might end up switching back.

* The phone is SM-G935T

The free ones at least.
Most often ads are made by apps like Clean Master, DuBattery Saver and related apps. You don't need those things anyway.

Sorry. Got mixed up replies. Well again fix the app. Try reinstalling the app. And don't move it to sd card. You could also try a cache wipe.
Sent from my Galaxy S7 Edge Duos via Tapatalk
If numerous apps are doing it then i suspect something more sinister!
If it was one single app constantly crashing then its a bug in that app. So as chanchan says, update the app, report issues to the developer or uninstall it for a few days and hope the issue is resolved by the dev. If its happening to multiple apps then its either malware or youve done something horrible to your phone i.e. a failed root.
I would insist you try a free virus scanner from the Play Store and check your phone as those messages could be malware popups and each click is a masked install of further malware! My recommendation is the free AVG scanner.
If it is malware then you can try letting the AV clean it up but in my experience, its never as effective as a factory reset. You will always be vulnerable to further infections otherwise.
If youve been playing about with your phone prior to the issues then its difficult to diagnose without the phone itself. Of course a factory reset is an option but i personally understand how annoying the aftermath of a factory reset can be!

I don't think malware is the problem cause I have Lookout W/ their VPN service setup on my GS7E so I don't think I'm getting anything like that, so what else could it be?
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
If your certain you are malware free then the only other thing is a bad OTA update. You havent been rooting or using a custom rom have you?

What about Samsung+ could they help @ all or should I still do factory reset like U just said 2 do?
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
First of all have you downloaded and installed apps from anywhere besides the Google Play store? If not then it's not malware.
Your VPN could cause an issue if apps are unable to connect to servers.
Are you on stock firmware and recovery? If not you might need to flash a different ROM through recovery or stock firmware through Heimdall or Odin.
You have not given enough information for any solid solution, so try troubleshooting.
Get a logcat. Try getting rid of VPN. Try clearing cache, dalvik, and defaults. Try factory reset. Try reflashing firmware or rom.

Galaxy s8 TouchWiz runing on S7 edge

My galaxy S7 install new TouchWiz home v6.0 s8 apk from here http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/touchwiz-home/touchwiz-home-6-0-77-release
New TouchWiz not support Briefing or Upday (swip to left from first page)
How to?
I install that on my s7 edge, now my mobile is half blocked, New Touch wiz doesn't want to start... What to do? I can't install older version, saying that file is corrupted
You need clear application data from setting->applicaltion->touchwiz home. If you want back to old touchwiz home, go to application setting, tap options and uninstall update
Is this working? I wanna try

It works great. I installed it in both mine, and my brother's s7e. In my s7 edge it worked flawlessly. In my brother's s7e the phone started to freeze, so I went to apps > touchwiz home and cleared the data and cache. All is working perfect now.
