I know "companion device manger" is needed when pairing with your smartwatch. Maybe try restoring that, if you have is disabled or deleted?
I think we achieved peak debloating. I'm having the best battery achievable by a base model S21. What do you guys think ?
I'm expecting more than 6h of SoT using my phone normally, with adaptive refresh rate (60-96hz) what's your stats ?

I'm using battery saver just to limit processor speed to 70%, I can live without adaptive refresh rate and I have this stats. I'm charging my phone to 85%

Some articles said that processor limiter doesn't actually work, i disabled that from my battery saver.
Do you know, by any chance, is there a way to remove battery saver icon from status bar?
EDIT: this is taken 23.01 from 85% to 25%

Imagine deleting 298 system apps ? I'm activating 120hz at this point.

Is there any downsides of deleting more system apps?
##### LAST EDITED: 27-01-2021 ##### EXTREME UPDATE (FINAL)
- Waiting on your feedback, i got no problem here.
We're now at:
- 299 Deleted apps
- 1 Disabled apps (uninstalling this will break accessibility settings.)
- 111 Kept system apps
APPLY ALL 3 OF THE NEW PRESETS
DON'T FORGET TO REBOOT INTO RECOVERY, CLEAR CACHE PARTITION AND REPAIR APPS.

Updated my unit too super cleaned!
however I have another more question1. i don't know if its only me but when i delete photo editor app, whenever we need to send photo on social like messenger or whataspp we cannot cropped it anymore before it send.
2. I have another laptop. If i install adb app on it and update presets, can we still see and restore the app we deleted already on primary laptop we used. Or we should only use one laptop the first we used?
Quick question:
How do I figure out what I disabled/uninstalled if the phone app is working, but I cannot initiate or receive any calls?
I can go through contacts, but when I swipe right or press the phone, it doesn't do anything. No errors. Stays on the contacts screen like I didn't press anything.
When someone calls me there are 0 notifications or sounds of any kind. The phone doesn't react when called. The caller hears that it's calling. Also, no missed calls of any kind.
Everything else seems to be working fine: SMS, mobile data, other apps, sounds, notifications, etc.

Are you able to verify com.samsung.android.dialer wasn't uninstalled or disabled? That's the Samsung Phone app.
Feedback on new presets. Looks like we broke hotspot connections. It can share on others and tablet/phone can connect but when open browser on it says no internet connection. Can you check guys. I have good hotspot connection before update the presets
That's something I haven't mentioned.
com.samsung.crane is there
com.android.phone is there
com.samsung.android.dialer is there
And I found the culprit. Somehow I deleted com.android.server.telecom
Thank you for your time!
1 you can restore photo editor if you want, i personally use SnapseedUpdated my unit too super cleaned!

I don't
I don't remember deleting that, phone calls work for me. You need to set it as default phone app and restart thoThat's something I haven't mentioned.

+1 Note 20 ultra battery not impressive either way but it is way worse without debloating and it REALLY helps with the phone heating up, I was thinking about selling it alrdy but saw this post too. -
7Greetings to all, and I certainly hope everyone is doing well. Just dropped by for a little thread cleaning since things were starting to get a little heated.
While you may agree / disagree with the topic of this thread, I will ask you all politely to please stay on topic related to the S21 device for which this thread is intended.
Thank you all for your cooperation, and a pleasant day to all.

On a stock Samsung the worst that can happen is the need to do a factory reset. Generally it's almost impossible to crash a stock Android but not completely impossible
Bare in mind each user needs and setup are unique so what works well for some might not for you. Try to learn and understand what you're disabling or enabling and any dependencies.
Any changes could have far reaching and unseen consequences otherwise.
Doing a few or groups at a time rather then blindly doing all edits at once may save you time in the long run especially if you don't understand exactly what you are modifying.
It's a learning curve and somewhat trial and error.
Many times you find dependencies by accidentally disabling a needed service or app. It may take some time until you notice the anomaly you created. Androids should be very predictable and stable...
Keeping a log of the mods can be useful.
That said all Samsung's need to be optimized to obtain best performance... get use to it.4{Mod edit: Quoted post has been deleted}
It's my phone, I paid for it with my money and do what I want with it. I appreciate the effort of people like Hamid that try to give more choices to the consumer. If you don't want that, just ignore the thread. Easy.
Oh and he's not responsible for anything wrong that happens if I mess up, in the end it's my choice to do this.
Have a nice day.4Really Great and excellent Work man.
This device shows an awesome standby battery and responsiveness, Full credit goes to you man.
Keep up your great work. -

#I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO YOUR DEVICE12NO BLOATWARE REMOVED. I reinstalled all the bloatware I previously removed and then updated my phone to One UI 4.1 AVC8. This is with no bloatware removed, so imagine what it'll be when I disable over 100 system apps.
I did however, follow all the ADB commands that are suggested in OP. I'm running on FHD+, Adaptive Motion Smoothness (via Galaxy Max Hz app), Processing speed set to Optimized. Enabled CPU Responsiveness, enabled performance limit. I know it sounds crazy, but I get the best of both worlds with the performance limit ON and CPU Responsiveness ON, the phone is insanely fast and battery is great. I tried different combinations and this has been my best result in terms of battery life and I'm still at 42%. My benchmarks are still 1200, 3400.
No power saving. No adaptive power saving. Adaptive battery off. No adaptive brightness. I have a bunch of apps in sleep and deep sleep. Mostly WiFi since I work remotely and some light LTE usage. I turned off 5G. I manually set RAM Plus to 1GB. Dark Mode and my Location are on at all times.
I think the adb commands help more than debloating the phone based on my results.

Pretty sure @Dj daudi , @Kris_b1104 and the others are plenty capable of answering all th questions. I'll make a modified copy of this thread for Pixel too. Good bye guys, take care of this thread for me.9
1- I have been uninstalling apps over adb for a long time now, and from a functionality standpoint, they don't interfere with the user experience, but on the contrary, uninstalling them improves the experience.
2- There are no apps that "just sit there", they all will consume power and resources on the background, only noticeable on the long run.
3- This is an extensive, maxed out and extreme list of bloatware, you can of course choose to skip some of those apps if you need them, your use case may be different then mine.
