The Shell version of the simple noob-friendly script that debloats your phone from the evenwell apps and optionally, 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 Evenwell 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? Head to this link to get more info on the project.
Download the Linux/macOS version of the script from here
AUTHOR'S NOTE - Please read the ReadMe.md on the project's GitHub page to get information on how to debloat Google Apps.
