*******************************************************************
Here is an universal script that should work on every Nokia device right from the first gen devices upto Nokia 9 Pureview.

Exert from my Github readme.md -
Nokia-Debloater

A simple noob-friendly script that debloats your phone from the evenwell apps and soon, Google Apps.

What is evenwell and why should I care?
Evenwell/FiH is chinese company. Specifically, They are a subsidary of the massive Foxxconn group that manufactures consumer electronics for sale around the world. This Evewell group were a business partner of Nokia/HMD and they were responsible for manufacturing and building the software on these phones. We all know the second generation devices from Nokia i.e Nokia 6.1, Nokia 6.1 Plus, Nokia 7 Plus etc are android one devices which are supposed to come with clean software and no bloat. On the surface, These devices have no bloat, But when you go digging deeper into settings and the system, You will encounter them evenwell apps.
What do these apps do?

These apps are supposedly to maintain system stability and protect battery among various other services/features. There are also telemetry apps that send data to the chinese. This is the reason I've decided to create this script.

Nokia has supposedly stopped using the evenwell services/apps, Why would you uninstall them?
Simple, Because
1. I do not want any dead app that previously had an history of snooping in my system.
2. They are not supposed to be there in the first place.

Convinced yet? Get the script from here and you can start.
Enable usb debugging and connect to PC, Put the .bat file in the same folder as your ADB and run the script. Profit.

What basis is there to suspect that Nokia did not remove the evenwell app?
1. Go to settings, Apps and notifications, Tap on 3 dots and tap on show system
2. Scroll down and see the apps.
3. You will witness lots of these evenwell apps on your phone.

But Nokia claimed they have disabled them? Why you do this?
Did they though? My answer is no.
1. They aren't removed from the system, Even on Android 10 builds.
2. Nokia did a cheat trick and renamed some of the apps/packages.

Now, If they did remove disable all the evenwell apps, Why rename them in the next major Android updates?
