Summary
I try to maintain a universal tool which removes bloatwares on any Android phones by using ADB.
The main goal is to improve battery performance and privacy by removing unnecessary and obscure system apps. This can also contribute to improve security by reducing the attack surface.
Packages are as well documented as possible in order to provide a better understanding of what you can delete or not. The worst thing which could happen is removing an essential system package needed during boot causing then an unfortunate bootloop. After about 5 failed system boots, the phone will automatically reboot in recovery mode and you'll have to perform a FACTORY RESET. So make a backup first!
In any case, you can NOT brick your device with this script ! That's the main thing, right ?
Features
- Uninstall/Disable and Restore/Enable system packages
- Multi-user support (e.g apps in work profiles)
- Export/Import your selection in uad_exported_selection.txt
- Multi-device support: you can connect multiple phones at the same time
- All your actions are logged so you never forget what you've done
NB : System apps cannot really be uninstalled without root (see the FAQ)
