    I’m sorry, the fucking wha– oh right, the first app that I disabled and hid on my last Smasnug.

        Settings, Apps, Galaxy Store, Disable. It should revert it to the stock version and disable it. Unless your phone has some additional restrictions that prevents disabling it.

                Use adb and see if you can flush those apps

                  Or instead I can not spend all that time and effort messing with my phone that holds all of my data and instead but a moondrop phone and never show Samsung my wallet again.

                    You’re actually buying that Moondrop device? Let me know how it goes, seemed like a cool concept but I can’t trust them enough to get a mobile device done right

      How can you disable it without affecting your system apps installed from there

        No idea, I never used it. The day I got that phone, I disabled/uninstalled all Smasnug and most Google apps.

        You could try getting the APKs from APKMirror and installing them from a file manager.
