Summary
CCSWE App Manager (Device Owner) is a tools-focused Android utility that lets you disable bloatware and hide icons without rooting your device, helping improve performance and declutter the launcher. Designed for device-owner workflows, it also supports exporting and importing package lists and features a home screen widget for quick access.
Pros & Cons
- Device-owner mode enables disabling and hiding apps without root
- No-root operation aligns with Android security
- Export and import package lists for easy backups
- Home screen widget for quick access
- Lacks broader system cleanup features like memory/cache management and SD-card cleanup commonly offered by competitors
- Requires device-owner privileges and multiple sensitive permissions, which may raise privacy concerns

The ugly side effect of "This device belongs to your organization" appearing on the lock screen can't be resolved by making CCSIE non-admin in the phone's security settings. Is there a way to get rid of that text, replace it with a custom one or with spaces? Are there any Windows programs with a nice GUI that delete unwanted bloat-/control-/spyware via a USB cable and ADB commands in a user-friendly manner, so that it is no longer necessary to install apps that take over control of one's device?

Working with Android 11 One UI 3.0. Just a reminder that don't disable any system apps without knowing what it actually does or is it safe to disable otherwise device might go in a boot loop.

A MUST-HAVE if you own a device with bloatware preinstalled, ESPECIALLY if its one of the lower end phones that have difficulty being used semi passively with its own apps. I even put this on my flagship phone to remove manufacturer ads and a good portion of tracking/data collection services. Remember the lower end phone I was talking about? There was an app that was impossible to uninstall, and it provided "news" and its function was to show ads when the phones off. Fixed the issue lol.

Cannot get adb to authorize. I deleted all 26 accounts and typed the adb command in command prompt. I received "This adb server's $ABD_VENDOR_KEYS is not set. Try adb kill-server' if that seems wrong. Otherwise, check for a confirmation dialogue...." Tried it 4 different ways. Still the same response. This app is a piece of ____. Now I have to add my 26 accounts back and try to get a refund.

Followup reply to my previous review. 1) You claimed you have not received any emails from me. The email title Re: unable to install adb command successfully. First email was on 21 feb 2021. You (or your team) replied on the 21 feb, and the response did not solve my problem I follow up with a 2nd email dated 22 feb 2021. There was no reply from you, or ur team after that. I was an avid supporter of your apps. When you launch this version, I purchase it immediately trusting you will render

I bought it for nothing. I purchased this app four times total. First two times all I had to do was select the apps I wanted to disable. Easy-peasy. Then the last two purchases when Samsung took away developers KNOX license or whatever, I was left to configure ADB to make myself the owner, and it was waaaay too difficult. I'M NOT SOME ADB TECH NOVICE, CUT ME SOME SLACK, but I tried and failed. No amount of explanation could ever get me to do this "simple" task, as all you novices like to call it.

Dev Stopped Responding & Won't Refund. I followed the instructions and it didn't work. I contacted the dev, and he seemed lost on the issue as well. I asked for a refund before the cut-off, and got no response. Finally, I reset my phone and still no luck, plus no response from the dev.

★ Why does CCSWE App Manager (Device Owner) require device owner privileges?
Unfortunately the Android security model does not make it possible for one application to enable/disable another application. This makes sense for standard applications because you wouldn't want a competing application to be able to disable yours. That is why CCSWE App Manager requires device owner privileges in order to achieve this.
