On my new Blackberry Key2 LE, I have run into a system notification when certain bluetooth headphones are connected:
Great. What do I care? Let's disable this notification.
Helpfully, the message shows the name of the Android component, com.qualcomm.qtil.aptxui
So I enabled developer mode on the phone, connected from the PC via adb shell, and killed off the whole thing:
bbe100:/ $ pm disable-user --user 0 com.qualcomm.qtil.aptxui
Package com.qualcomm.qtil.aptxui new state: disabled-user
I have not noticed any negative consequences.
But, really, what is this idiocy with hardware vendors injecting ads into the system? Qualcomm has 37 packages on the system, according to a pm list packages | grep qualcomm. I'm not inclined to trust them very much, but unfortunately there's little to no documentation on this kind of vendor crap on Android.
I took the opportunity to disable another obvious one, ''com.qualcomm.qti.haven.telemetry.service".
