I apologize ahead of time, I'm betting this has been answered, but I just can't go through 177 pages. So, I did the Google apps thing - cleared data and cache, uninstalled updates, reboot, etc. - and now my galaxy watch 4 will not connect to the galaxy wearable app, gpay gives me an unable to load error when I select contactless payments, and the old google pay app just says it's updating and I won't be able to access it. I've cleared data and cache for the pay apps, even reinstalled, then tried a clear cache and data for play services and the play store, still won't work.
Can someone help?!
Please and thanks!

First of all the Galaxy watch 4 won't reconnect, believe me I tried everything. You need to factory reset the watch.
About the Gpay, could you screenshot the error?

Uninstall google pay/Gpay app.
Then remove your google account from Device settings > Accounts and Backup.
Restart your phone and add google account to device again from
Device settings > Accounts and Backup.
Install Gpay and see if it's fixed.

What is the reason to not use Smart Switch like does it bring over extra junk/cache that will muck up your new phone? I went from the S10+ to the S22U and I had to use it because I couldnt figure out another way for all my apps to automatically transfer over, is there another way? It didnt seem like Google Play would just auto download and install them if I didnt use Smart Switch.
Transferring apps from one phone to another isn't a great idea. I would just install them one by one
Couple quick Qs.
In the "Fix Google Apps Battery Drain" section, how does uninstalling and letting those system apps reupdate help with battery drain? Do they reinstall to the same version (if so how does it help?), or are you meant to keep them at an earlier version by turning off auto app updates?
I've worked through everything up to the debloating section. Already seen improvement, thanks! Going to try debloating next.
Does anyone have a list of what the system apps do and what they're needed for in the debloating preset list? Hard to know how much/what to uninstall and this thread is so many pages to go through it all! Thanks.

I need a Kept (Systems) list.
The "Debloat Preset.txt" list didn't help me remove all carrier apps.

@Hamid Chikh I am getting notifications only when unlocking screen, and those apps aren't in sleep or deep sleep. Do you have any idea what causes this?

No, maybe after an Android software update but when it's come to security updates I have checked and it stays
Ok excellent,as I did the music boost and it's much better and louder with Spotify than before
Anyone having issues with the samsung builtin video player not opening in gallery or just any video file?
It will say "video player keeps stopping" when trying to open from the gallery.
I tried:
turning off film strip viewer in the gallery labs then closing it completely
Wiping cache, repair apps from bootloader
uninstalling com.samsung.android.video then reinstalling through adb after a reboot --- Also tried reinstalling through the samsung galaxy app store
I uninstalled all updates for samsung gallery as well.
Ive run out of ideas on how to fix it

That RAM plus command does not enable values over 8GB despite saying that it does. Using the "free" command in terminal shows that values over 8GB actually changes it back to 4GB

If you want a striped out Samsung you can go nuts and disable every apk in sight but I don't see a good reason to do this for most users.
Case in point, Finder uses no resources unless used. It's a very useful app when you need it.
Target the power and resource hogs that serve you no purpose. Dependencies... are there any for the apk you're killing?
Otherwise you'll at the best you'll spend a lot of time back stepping, at the worst never realize some of the devices capabilities or ease of operation.
If you have hundreds of disabled apks, you likely killed a lot of useful features.3Hello,
i think its Off Topic.. but i have called with an Samsung Guy because my batter is draining so much with my S22 Ultra. He have found out that a service called IMS Service draind my battery.. in App Info i have here an value from 12% used since last full recharge, and i think thats why i can see this service kill my battery.. is this service necessary? i don't want to make calls via LTE etc..
thanks for help
IMSis a general-purpose, open industry standard for voice and multimedia communications over packet-based IP networks. It is a core network technology, that can serve as a low-level foundation for technologies like Voice over IP (VoIP), Push-To-Talk (PTT), Push-To-View, Video Calling, and Video Sharing.
Arguably,IMSsuppose to be a good thing. It is required for SIP over 4G, which is digital voice, or VOLTE. Conventional voice calls are made over 4G but fall back to 3G for the voice component. To create greater bandwidth for digital protocols, with 3G pretty much eliminated for use in cellular telephone, and might be reserved for low-bandwidth, legacy IoT communication in critical applications such as security, medical, seismic, mining, remote control, and emergency alert, including 911, 311, 988 services.
Sometime this year - if not already, no cellular device lackingIMSwill register on any US nationwide carrier network. Some countries are now forcing devices to haveIMS.
N.B.: Even though it's not a Samsung property - I do not recommend removing/disabling this.3

I did however, follow all the ADB commands that are suggested in OP. I'm running on FHD+, Adaptive Motion Smoothness (via Galaxy Max Hz app), Processing speed set to Optimized. Enabled CPU Responsiveness, enabled performance limit. I know it sounds crazy, but I get the best of both worlds with the performance limit ON and CPU Responsiveness ON, the phone is insanely fast and battery is great. I tried different combinations and this has been my best result in terms of battery life and I'm still at 42%. My benchmarks are still 1200, 3400.
No power saving. No adaptive power saving. Adaptive battery off. No adaptive brightness. I have a bunch of apps in sleep and deep sleep. Mostly WiFi since I work remotely and some light LTE usage. I turned off 5G. I manually set RAM Plus to 1GB. Dark Mode and my Location are on at all times.

Here are all the commands I used:
2 - Disable Background Scanning
- adb shell settings put global ble_scan_always_enabled 0
- adb shell settings put system nearby_scanning_enabled 0
3 - Unlock RAM Plus Configurations
- adb shell settings put global ram_expand_size_list 0,1,2,4,6,8,12,16
Reboot then go to settings and set RAM Plus to 1GB.
5 - Disable Motion Engines
- adb shell settings put system master_motion 0
- adb shell settings put system motion_engine 0
- adb shell settings put system air_motion_engine 0
- adb shell settings put system air_motion_wake_up 0
7 - Disable User Manual
- adb shell settings put global online_manual_url 0
8 - Extra battery
- adb shell settings put global app_standby_enabled 1
- adb shell settings put system mcf_continuity 0
IV-B - EXTREME BATTERY OPTIMISATION
3 - Enable Performance Limit
- adb shell settings put global restricted_device_performance 1,1
IV-P - EXTREME PERFORMANCE OPTIMISATION
2 - Enable Improved App Responsiveness
Changing processing speed in settings disables this
- adb shell settings put global sem_enhanced_cpu_responsiveness 112NO BLOATWARE REMOVED. I reinstalled all the bloatware I previously removed and then updated my phone to One UI 4.1 AVC8. This is with no bloatware removed, so imagine what it'll be when I disable over 100 system apps.

Pretty sure @Dj daudi , @Kris_b1104 and the others are plenty capable of answering all th questions. I'll make a modified copy of this thread for Pixel too. Good bye guys, take care of this thread for me.9
1- I have been uninstalling apps over adb for a long time now, and from a functionality standpoint, they don't interfere with the user experience, but on the contrary, uninstalling them improves the experience.
2- There are no apps that "just sit there", they all will consume power and resources on the background, only noticeable on the long run.
3- This is an extensive, maxed out and extreme list of bloatware, you can of course choose to skip some of those apps if you need them, your use case may be different then mine.
