Would I still be able to update my software without issues in my Galaxy s9 for instance after removing bloat via this method?? If yes, would it bring the apps back??

Yes you will be able to to update your device without any issue.
No your app will not be back unless the app's apk is present in the update package.

Hi,

Do you have any ideea how to re-install an app uninstalled by miskate?

Thanks

This pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.my.demo.app only removes the app from user 0 ( current user )
Sooo to reinstall and app, you will need to factory default your device

This might be silly, but how do we get the app's identifier, like com.demo.my.app? Settings > Apps does not seem to have that info.

                              adb shell pm list packages | grep <search-term>

Example: You can type "chrome" instead of <search-term> to find the Chrome browser.

For graphical solution you can install the app named "Package Name Viewer 2.0" by csing. :good:

Try reinstalling adb drivers for your device.

Would give this a try as soon as i get my hands on a proper pc. The korean apps on my phone are very annoying.

Is there a command to enable apps without factory reset?

I would say
1. Download from android themselves:
developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools

2. Extract the .zip file somewhere on your computer and add that folder to your windows PATH variable so you can reference it from anywhere using command prompt (cmd.exe).

There technically is a way. Just not as "graceful"

I had to do it twice, because I didn't turn off auto update in Galaxy Apps and didn't uninstall Secure Folder before I started. I'm not 100% of the connection, but somehow Bixby came back, but I uninstalled Secure Folder, turned off Auto Update, and it worked great. They got root for my device like two days later, so kind of pointless, but it helped a lot! Thanks! :good:

please I need help how can I enable an application that I uninstall by mistake ('com.google.android.apps.photos'), without factory reset, besides which is the command that I should use to disable an application?

nota: the options that are in previous comments do not work
