Unrooted

Hello,
I got my phone yesterday and noticed that instagram and spotify come pre-installed as system apps, which means, I cannot remove them, I can only disable them. Is there any way to remove these apps without root? I wish to do so, because I want the modified versions of Instagram and spotify, which have awesome tweaks inside them.

Thanks

You need root to remove them, or you'll need to modify the spotify apk to think it's another app.

So there's no way to replace the system Spotify with the hacked Spotify (free premium) without root. I have no idea how to trick it and install two versions of the same app.

Might be a way to change the name of the app, but I don't know how. I've seen mods that do this specifically though, so I know it can be done.

Look into either Parallel (it's an app in the Play Store) or using something like Lucky Patcher or another app that clones apps to create a slightly modified version of the app with a slightly different naming scheme.

Or you need to request someone who can create hacked Spotify with different signature license...
