Samsung GameOptimizingService keeps getting installed back (slrpnk.net)

When I uninstall GameOptimizingService using Canta with Shizuku, it gets installed back immediately. I get a notification from TrackerControl that a new app was installed, but it is deleted almost immediately by itself. Is there a way to uninstall this app forever? I really hate whatever they are doing.

Yeah looks like the usual android bullshit. Folks over at XDA saying as usual you can’t uninstall but you can disable it with adb, so maybe worth a shot if you’ve not tried that already. It’s a while since I’ve had an android phone so can’t be of much more help but worth checking out this thread on xda, xda in general for android stuff

Edit: ironically, disabling the app seems to improve gaming performance lol fml what a pointless app

Yeah it seems like an app responsible for making the device obsolete. Anyway, I disabled the app, will see how well it will work. (Or when it will enable itself).

Thanks
