Hi, thanks for the reply. Here is the output from the terminal: pm disable --user 0 com.microsoft.mobileexperiences.bing[1] Killed pm disable --user 0 I agree, it looks like pm is getting killed. I'll do some more digging Thanks! On Mon, March 3, 2014 10:18 am, jensstein wrote:

OK, running the command without the --user 0 gives the exact same result. Then I ran the "echo $?". It returned "137". For now, I've been able to disable the app using another app called Thanks, On Mon, March 3, 2014 1:59 pm, jensstein wrote:

oh well, there probably isn't much to do then. either your pm has a bug or doesn't have the feature at all (you can check the latter by looking at the usage instructions - just run ultimately it would be nice to find out how other apps do, if they are actually able to make it work on your device. it could be that the app you reference just edits package-restrictions.xml directly. i'll consider working on a fallback to such a method (though this is not documented so it could just introduce more bugs). also, if you want to get rid of bloat with oab, i think the best method would be to just uninstall it. then you get more space and you can always make a backup first. the enable / disable feature is meant more as a tool for devices with several users. |

Hi, I'm new to Oandbackup. I'm having trouble with the disable feature. I've got a rooted phone running Android 2.3.3. Trying to use oandbackup to disable some of the bloatware on my phone. However, when I click on disable, select the 0 id user (I'm the only user on the phone), and hit ok, nothing seems to happen. The app isn't disabled. The oandbackup.log file seems to trying to kill the app, but it isn't disabled:
2014/03/03 - 09:11:55 [1] Killed pm disable --use... [com.microsoft.mobileexperiences.bing]
2014/03/03 - 09:11:55 [com.microsoft.mobileexperiences.bing]
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Bryan
