Package Disabler Pro

[GuyWith4Kids]

Has anyone here used this with success? I want to disable as much as possible while keeping the key features of the Note like:

s pen
power saving modes
themes
etc

I have searched XDA and I can only find xmls that disable almost everything. I am not looking to make my Note 5 stock but remove the biggest offenders to battery life and performance.

Thanks for any feedback.

yes, started using it recently. someone here mentioned it.

I disabled the carrier crap and Samsung stuff I know I won't use then installed GSam and watched. Killed a few more.
I feel it is safer this way (for me).

Yup it works great. You just have to be careful with it and make sure you disable what you want and not everything that is claimed as bloat by the app. Pick and choose a few things then try it and see. That's what I do

I made the xda XML files. All the features you mentioned work perfectly whichever XML file you use. I tried not to disable any features most people would want. And if there is anything you do want that is disable its pretty straightforward to re-enable again.

They are at the bottom of the first post. Stick to the basic XML file if you want to play it super safe. I think both are very stable though.

It was suggested in another thread that I use Package Disabler but correct me if I'm wrong, don't we achieve the exact same results disabling apps in Application Manager?

Can anyone confirm if Package Disabler will safely delete these:com.facebook.appmanager & com.facebook.system

Nothing is deleted. Only disabled so won't run. Completely reversible. And yes those can be disabled.

I have 167 items disabled on my international Note 5.
Phone estimates 30 hour battery time without use of power saver mode.

Thanks for this. I know you are not tech support for this but my Android auto is acting weird and I can't find what to re-enable. Any ideas?

MTP and Android Auto are enabled but there has to be some other service that is important.

Thanks

Hmmm not sure. Never tried Android auto. Is everything done via Bluetooth?

USB for the interface and Bluetooth for calling. The interface is what is working weird. I am going to try and enable everything USB and see.

Yeah make sure USB settings is enabled. Not sure what else it could be.

Hi giftedmd,
Do you need to leave Package Disabler installed for the apps to remain disabled?
Thanks

I would leave it installed so you can re-enable them if you have to, for example to install a new software update when it comes.
