[MODULE][Terminal] Debloater v17.3.2 - Debloat Systemlessly!

[Avengement]

Understood. But I was asking if the ADB App control desktop program this thread is talking about is able to completely delete system apps.

I don't see '"uninstall system apps" in f-droid, but I do see something called "Batch uninstaller" by Sarbajit Saha. It says:

"Batch Uninstaller allows you to uninstall multiple apps at once. If root
permission is not available, you can still delete multiple apps a lot quicker
than you can using the native android implementation. However, you will be
prompted for each app uninstalled. Non Root users can not uninstall system apps.
This is a limitation with the Android Operating system."

ADB is just the command line interface via command prompt on windows for example between a PC and your phone when connected via a USB cable. It has many functions including removing apps individually. You can google tutorials. It's a very slow and tedius process though.

Like I said, I haven't used that app in a while. Do a search for it. There's probably a github repository.

No. I'm not talking about CMD. I was asking about this:

To remove or freeze applications better use

ADB AppControl

Official website of the ADB AppControl application. Free Download. Latest release. The ultimate applications manager and debloat tool for Android devices.

adbappcontrol.com

or. ........ This is a more modern version

Never used it so I can't say. It appears to be a gui windows program that runs ADB scripts for you so you don't have to manually type the commands yourself. If this is the case it would have the exact same functionality.

Have you tried it?


EDIT: Reading is your friend. It took about 10 seconds of doing so on the main page before the following:

Just root your device and install the app I suggested instead of all this other nonsense.

NO, ADB app control doesnot completely delete the stored apk in the os system partitions, it just uninstalls the apps for the user, a factory data reset will install all the bloatware back.

Hi veez 21, Have a question I installed the module but no luck launching through termux, running Android 12 on a galaxy A14

Do all deleted app come back after a factory reset?

So there is no way to truly remove these system apps?

To delete permanently use rm -rf /path/.apk & /path/data of the .apk

1) did you disable "unmount modules by default"? this may be needed for it to work
2) the command should be "su debloat" (with su permissions assigned to your preferred terminal app in ksu, of course)

For me (kernelsu 0.7), it does actually "work" insofar as that I can enter the debloat menu, it lists apps, etc. If I mark apps for debloat, there are no error messages. However, after reboot, the apps are still functional (even though debloat now "correctly" lists them under the "restore apps" section only)...

The one error message that comes up is that debloat doesn't find the built-in ksu busybox. However, from a quick look at the code, this should only be needed for log upload, and not affect core module functionality?

update: I double-checked now with a root file explorer, the "debloated" apks do get correctly overlayed with "empty" files, so no idea where/how the android system still manages to locate functioning apks regardless. I have now switched to using AppManager and its root-level disable/hide functionality.
