I just discovered this amazing app! It lets you remove (or just disable) preinstalled apps like Facebook, Netflix, etc. and system apps like samsung knox apps, diagnostic, bixby, and even One UI (but you must have installed other launcher). You can’t brick your device, worst case it falls into a boot loop and after 5 reboots it will factory reset.
Debloating your device will make it faster, more private and more secure (less atack surface).
Is this better, or just quicker, than going thru the apps in Settings>Apps one by one and hitting
“Uninstall”“Uninstall” or “Disable” whenever the button is available?Not every app is graphical. Not all can be disabled.
Using “package manager” from F-Droid you can list them and simply use
adb uninstall --user 0 APPfor all apps. Copy paste, appname, thats it.Just be sure to keep the logs to reinstall when needed?
some apps are installed by your system. you can only “disable” them through the settings but not uninstall them.
And some you cant even disable
Yes yes I understand that. But is this ADB trick anything other than a time-saver? As you say, they cannot be uninstalled either way.
Adb commands can uninstall them instead of just disabling them, thats why you should try it
Right. I’ve even done that in the past. Would be nice to see the evidence that uninstalling is any more useful than disabling.
As in clearing space and simply off the list? Idk what else you are expecting…
