Pixel 4a Debloat

Hum, Android auto is a user installed app. You should be able to fully uninstall using conventional means. Might be something your carrier added which can be tough to kill depending on the approach they took.
Thanks for your help.
Before, I have uninstalled all the apps like you said. But there are still prebuilt apks in system folders. And it's that I would like to clear...
Here is the list of the app I have tried to uninstall. With xXx Nolimits rom, they are invisible after. But not with this method...
.\adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.projection.gearhead
.\adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.wellbeing
.\adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.bookmarkprovider
.\adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.verizon.mips.services
.\adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.tag
.\adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.wearables.maestro.companion
.\adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.tips
.\adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.chrome
.\adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.docs
.\adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.recorder
.\adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.nbu.files
.\adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.pixel.livewallpaper
.\adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.breel.wallpapers20
.\adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.videos
.\adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.youtube
.\adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.youtube.music
.\adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.dreamliner
Probably can't be much additional help. I rarely ditch pre-installed components on 'clean' ROMs unless there is a resource use/abuse issue.
You could go the custom launcher route and 'hide' items that are bothersome.
Thanks, apps don't appear on any launcher, just in the apps menu. I'm a little manic that's all
talking about debloating, I wonder why there are actually no discussions about the other open systems, such as Calyxos ?
thanks
I have finally disabled most of the useless apps and i want to know that in running services i see connectivity health service running . so i wanna know if it is of any use and if i can disable it or not?

Would like to add some extra apps for disabling. Considering them as a bloatware too:
# Google Tips app
pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.apps.tips
# Google Services for AR
pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.ar.core
# Google Playground (ex VR Stickers)
pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.vr.apps.ornament
# Gboard (Stock Google Keyboard). Remember to replace it with other keyboard first (!!!)
pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.inputmethod.latin
# Google Tips app
pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.apps.tips
# Google Services for AR
pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.ar.core
# Google Playground (ex VR Stickers)
pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.vr.apps.ornament
# Gboard (Stock Google Keyboard). Remember to replace it with other keyboard first (!!!)
pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.inputmethod.latin
I've done this in the past and regretted it. When the replacement keyboard flaked out after an update, I was left without one. I had backups password protected. Play store login wasn't set to automatic either. I forget now how I solved it, but never again will I disable the stock keyboard.
Hello, and thanks for the brilliant tips!
There is also the possibility to disable/uninstall the System update app?
Is it the command "com.android.dynsystem"?
I also found a video:
Could this also work with the Pixel?!?
I am more than an amateur in this field.
Sorry for my poor english...I am only a german

9Now that factory images have finally been posted, we got to work with what many people have pre-installed (qd4a.200805.003). Pretty clear of bloat compared to many of the other manufactures, but there are still some apps we really don't need, and some that we can definitely do without, especially those that nibble away simultaneously at your privacy, data allotment, and battery. We have tried to categorize each type, and comment a little regarding each entry.
Probably the easiest way to debloat on this phone today is to issue the "pm disable-user --user 0" command via ADB as explained here:
https://www.xda-developers.com/disable-system-app-bloatware-android/
Without further ado, here is what we came up with:
PHP:# Google Pixel 4a qd4a.200805.003 Debloat Script # ================================================ # # Generally Undesirable or un-nessary Pre-Loaded Apps #------------------------------------------------- # bookmark provider pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.bookmarkprovider # Device Personalization Services pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.as # Google Partner Setup pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.partnersetup # Google Market Feedback Agent pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.feedback # Google Carrier App Logging pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.apps.carrier.log # Google Connectivity Metrics pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.connectivity.metrics # Partner Bookmarks pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.providers.partnerbookmarks # Google Wearables Companion pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.apps.wearables.maestro.companion # OTA / Dynamic System Updates (if you prefer to manually update) pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.dynsystem pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.factoryota # Tethering (Un)Entitlement pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.tetheringentitlement # # Verizon - Specific Stuff # ------------------------------------------------- pm disable-user --user 0 com.verizon.mips.services pm disable-user --user 0 com.customermobile.preload.vzw pm disable-user --user 0 com.verizon.llkagent pm disable-user --user 0 com.verizon.obdm_permissions pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.vzwomatrigger pm disable-user --user 0 com.customermobile.preload.vzw # # Pre-Loaded Google Apps I personally dont use #------------------------------------------------- # Chrome pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.chrome # Stock Youtube App pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.youtube # 1st Run Setup Wizard pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.setupwizard # Digital Wellbeing (battery drain) pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.apps.wellbeing # GMail pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.gm # Google Docs pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.apps.docs # Youtube Music pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.apps.youtube.music # Google Play Movies & TV pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.videos # Google Photos (uses lots of data...use other gallery app instead) pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.apps.photos #
This is just our first draft of what we have done so far on our phone, so please feel free to comment, add, and delete.2
I've done this in the past and regretted it. When the replacement keyboard flaked out after an update, I was left without one. I had backups password protected. Play store login wasn't set to automatic either. I forget now how I solved it, but never again will I disable the stock keyboard.1I have an unlocked phone and the Verizon apps are on it, but disabled and not visible. They do show up in Titanium Backup, which is the only way I knew they were there.
