S8 Debloat Bloatware Thread

[methoddon1]

Problem: I removed FB by adb command but when reinstall FB on Play Store it still system app, not user app as normal!

This make me can not add FB to always sleep apps under battery section

yes its normal... adb method doesn't actually remove it from the device, it hides it. read up on it.

Is it safe to remove S Secure?

Don't want to factory reset which is why I asked.

Bixby is safe

I did it on my s8, currently on pie and it works perfectly, was the only way I found to stop it.:good:

 

[guest_2011]

what the difference between PM and ADB? I tried PM it doesn't work for me. Only "adb uninstall -k --user 0 com.packagename" works.
C:\adb>adb uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.camera.sticker.facearavatar.preload
Success

but when i use PM
C:\adb>pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
'pm' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Adb is the "dos" exe that runs the command. If you do adb shell you can then use pm command directly.

Not entire sure what I did wrong, but after I had uninstalled the lot here on my Note 9 → I ran into a problem. Samsung cloud was unable to backup, restore or otherwise use any of the features, I'd keep getting an error each time I tried to use some feature within it. Strangely enough I could still log in and out. Tried every which way to sunday to fix across several days it but couldn't, had to reformat my entire phone with odin. want to know which one of these apps disables samsung cloud. Thought they were all safe? Cheers.
(N.B. I'm going to guess that its "com.sec.spp.push" but don't quote me. It's only because a samsung tech said it was disabled after looking at a log I made).
Update: Yeh Im pretty sure it is com.sec.spp.push

My findings after Debloating Various different Sammy phones.
These all are safe to remove.

If any app says Not Installed For User 0, It simply means that specific bloat app is not installed in your phone. Simply ignore it.

hi there im looking to debloat my gf S8.
it is a uk model on EE g950f android 9

i tried using package disabler and got an earful from her as i disabled something that stopped her emoji search and photo editor (drawing on photos) . i dunno what i done wrong but when she goes to sleep later im gonna plug the phone back in and take the stock launcher etc off , remove all bloat and replace all the samsung stuff with decent alternative paid for stuff. Kinda a surprise. only thing im worried about is will she still get notifications etc on nova launcher ?

does anyone have an update of this debloat list @Neo3D?

 

[xijaw]

HI,
Can anyone help me please I can't switch between apps as I get the message "No recently used app"

 

[tmmrtn]

From my understanding of the pm command, there is unfortunately no counterpart to the uninstall command. So a factory reset is the only possible way to bring back the app. For me this is a good argument to use something like AdHell instead, as I can easily revert any modification.

But if you know exactly what to remove, this is a clean way. No additional apps involved

I wouldn't bump a thread this old (last post 3 months ago) under all circumstances, however this thread was linked to in a GitHub repo at the top of search engine results for "Debloat Samsung". I very nearly did take that advice and factory reset. Anyway, what I came here to say was that there is a counterpart to the pm uninstall command. You can reinstall apps with:

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.android.something
