★★ Frequently asked questions ★★

★ Why does CCSWE App Manager (Device Owner) require device owner privileges?

Unfortunately the Android security model does not make it possible for one application to enable/disable another application. This makes sense for standard applications because you wouldn't want a competing application to be able to disable yours. That is why CCSWE App Manager requires device owner privileges in order to achieve this.

Ratings and reviews

Novice user of this method. Had the previous Samsung specific version. It took me a bit more than just removing Google accounts. Took several tries and developer support but I got working. The key for me is that the developer is responsive. I appreciate that. My only criticism is I'd like to see a simpler UI. Perhaps separating apps into categories like "System", "Bloatware", etc. Also had problems with importing previously saved settings. Still an excellent tool. Highly recommend!

I already gave you a great review. Why are you asking for another one? Fine. It's awesome! I recommend this app for debloating your phone. Just be careful. If the app is colored red, ya best leave that one alone. The other colors (white & orange) are probably okay to disable-uninstall. You may need an app inspector to identify apps you want to disable-uninstall. Not all apps can be unistalled. Some can only be disabled. Read the help file. Good luck!

Works perfectly, but a little bit complicated. If you follow the directions provided it works perfectly, you do have to copy and paste some script. I was having issues with bloatware on my TCL phone. Smart manager was messing with a lot of the apps and closing them so I was not getting push notifications. The phone is not popular enough to get root access easily. If you remove the bloatware through ADL commands the manufacturer will reinstall it eventually... This was the only permanent solution
