  pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oneplus.gamespace
  pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oem.nfc
  pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.nfc
  pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.documentsui
  pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.printspooler
  pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oneplus.brickmode

I assume gamespace is game space
WHy would you uninstall the NFC?

What is documentsui?
What is printspooler?
What is brickmode?

And why would we want to uninstall them?

"...causing battery drain in the background"? I'm getting 2 days on this battery. Stock. No root. Why would I bother to flash this?

well it uninstalls the desired apps but removing some can lead to boot loops. i can't say which ones because i keep the bloatware

There is a Detailed Thread about ADB cleaning -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/debloat-via-adb-root-t4018801

The safest thing is to freeze them with Titanium backup. Yes, i have freezed google music and other google spam apps. Would be happy to freeze all telemetry apps. If Anyone has a list, would appreciate!

How do I get back an app that I uninstalled?

I have uninstalled documentsui, and photos is asking for SDcard permission and crashing because I have uninstalled it.

My best guess is that you would have to do a factory reset.
And try to not believe every "trick" you see. My advice.

I fixed it. Got the APK from another device, installed it and made it a system app.

2. How did you "make it" a system app?

Thanks.

Thanks for an uninstall thread. Will use this.

But any way to simply "Freeze" apps via abd? I am on a OP7T

I would not disable Printspooler..disabling it freezes Bluetooth and device connections - menu.

 

[sudhanshugrover]

Has anyone tried these commands?

Hey!

Did anyone benefit from using these commands?

I know it's been a while since you asked #2, but there is a Magisk module that uses a terminal emulator to turn a regular app into a system app App Systemizer

Can you explain what these apks are? Or at least any side effects if disabling them
