How can I delete default apps?

It would be a first step in the right direction if all default apps (except Bliss Launcher)
could be deactivated as in the MagicErath app (App Info > Disable ~ Force stop).

Yes, but you won’t get it. Yiu have to wait til a pure e without defaults will be build … later

I know that I know nothing. It can only get better … later

Hi @harvey186, nope, it’s not working.

Starting with the phone OFF:

  • if I start it with Power + volume up at the same time,
    the phone simply turns ON like I just wanted to turn it on.

  • if I start it with Power + volume down at the same time,
    it goes into a loop, it keeps on starting the turning on process,
    until I eventually stop pressing the buttons and it just turns on.

P.S.
No, I didn’t try to do anything via terminal because my S7 just
doesn’t connect to my Mac: it’s not simply the file transfer that
is not working; literally the phone and Mac don’t connect at all.

The key combinations for starting TWRP are device-specific.
“power + volume up at same time” … is not the only possible one.

For example, my Samsung S4 requires three keys to start TWRP: power + volume up + home

What kind of device do you use?

I hate Samsung !!!

as far as I remember it was a S7 so please have a look here https://www.androidexplained.com/galaxy-s7-recovery-mode/

and you have really enabled adb debugging in development options ??

HTC or Nexus smartphones require the combination of the volume Down + Power button to enter the recovery menu.

How do I do it, or check if it’s OK? Thanks.

What do you mean ?? …

How do I enable adb debugging in development options?

Thx

Look here for activating dev options

Insite dev options you wil find adb debugging

Hi! are you sure, this is the folder to find the apk’s? I opened it: it’s empty!? Could there be another place?
Thank you and greetings!
dudu

have you mounted /system ??

no, I just booted into twrp and opened ->advanced -> filemanager -> system
how do I mount it?

in TWRP is a mount menu. There you can mount /system

thank you!!
meanwhile I read, that it could have opposite effects removing an apk. I thought it could lighten the system, as it seems the processor has a light damage and works with delay sometimes.
Which one can be removed without danger, do you know that?

It will make no change in your processor handling. The only effect more space in /system partition and on screen.

So I prefer stay where you are.

If you still want remove something: Don’t remove Bliss if you don’t have installed another launcher
And I prefer not to remove the apk. I always move them to internal storage. So if something went wrong, you can move it back and everything is fine.
Start with moving MagicEarth. And than move one app after the other with with some reboots between so you can check if everything working

fine, I ll stay like this.
just for interest: how to move a folder?

the empty folder is no problem. only move the apk inside.
