A good package disabler (for a non rooted phone)

[Abbers727]

Anyone know any good package disabler apps for a non-rooted phone?

Uh, you can disable any preinstalled app in the settings.

Well not ANY. But most of those that matters though.

 

[Abbers727]

Some... not all. Because the phone isn't rooted.

What you're looking for does not exist. Some apps are tagged by the system to be not be disabled. As the user you don't have system privelages. Root gives you superuser privelages.

What are you wanting to disable then? Anything beyond what you can disable in settings, is going to require root privileges.

BK disabler.

Not quite true mate, there's quite alot of bloatware type apps running in the bground which don't appear in settings or the app tray, so you cant disable them, but something like BK disabler can see all, so you can disable them there.

BK imo but right now it does not activate and I don't fancy the whole device owner workaround. I am therefore using package disabler pro. Works just fine, not as slick though and the XML import and export does not work.

Do we have a list of items to remove via BK and anyone know if after items are disabled is there actual proof this extends battery life...?
