Package Disabler Pro - Can you screw up your phone messing around in there?

Just something I was wondering. How safe is this product?

It's safe. Just make sure you know what a system app does before disabling it.

If you disable something that is essential, you can easily enable it again. It's not like rooting.

See a lot of crap in there that I have no idea what it is.

If you disable some of the Samsung launchers and enable max save mode you won't be able to get ouf of it

I've been tinkering as well disabling packages. So far I've only disabled those listed in pink as they are tagged as bloatware. Any other recommendations?

I went full on.. and disabled a lot of stuff and notcied that the Android OS process was having sleep issues. Once I renabled the packages and disabled only the most obvious things settled down..so I'll suggest to use caution and take it slow!

Not necessarily. One time I accidentally disabled an important system app, that resulted in my phone getting stuck in an unrecoverable boot loop. Since I couldn't boot there was no way to enable that app again. The only thing I could do was was boot into recovery and do a factory reset.

Just from using the guide in the app i pretty much disabled most of what they considered safe to disable (the ones highlighted in pink text, i believe). Knock on wood my phone has run great.

Anyone can recommend what to disable that won't mess up the phone?
