Dear users,

Does somebody know if it's possible to disable a system app programmatically? Even with root would be fine.

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

The problem is that Android is built upon Linux and each app has a separate 'user account' with it's own username and password where the security is there to stop one app messing with another.

However saying that there are 'app killers' so maybe someone more knowledgeable might know a way.

Perhaps if the system app has a built in function where you can ask it to close then you might be able to access that function with an intent.

Thank you very much for your fast answer, IanMc! It would be wonderful... as far as I know, there's an option in Titanium Backup which freezes all system apps....
Let's see if someone else will answer...
