A little contribution @w1nst0n_fr
Using latest version 2.9 with root. Followed all your guide.
In the end, I'm getting a error talking about no such command zip.
So I figure i need to sudo apt install zip
Just to add to your guide for noobs like me

Just wanted to comment on the oneplus debloating.

I made a thread "nord debloat"

Ive debloated around 30 preibstalled apps and hvae had zero issues.

Sorry for the late replies. If you find a bug, it's better to create an issue directly on Gitlab. I'm much more reactive over there.

hi i am getting the following error. how can i solve this?
Please upgrade to a bash version >= 4.4

The code checking the bash version wasn't very robust. The issue is fixed in the master branch. I'll release a (v2.9.1) tonight with other bugfixes.

Hey bro, magisk safetynet error, You know what app could have caused that? Realme X2 Pro... Thx

I can't help you without the list of the packages you removed. Did you use the root method? I don't think you can break safetynet with the non-root method.

How to completely remove the APK with root?
I got this error when I try to delete chrome

Clearing app data...
com.android.chrome -->
Exception occurred while executing 'clear':
java.lang.SecurityException: PID 29500 does not have permission android.permission.CLEAR_APP_USER_DATA to clear data of package com.android.chrome

Mhm... Have you an Xiaomi phone? It seems you need to enable the Disable Permission Monitoring option in the settings.

Thanks.
I forgot zip isn't installed by default in most Linux distributions.

I'll update the README.

Safetynet is a feature of com.google.android.gms - you can remove it with none root method @Youtube_Ll0r3nt3

Noob question but if i understand correctly this can be installed via Magisk too? I can't find the flashable zip for Magisk,can someone guide me through the process ?

​

• Installation of alternative open-source apps replacing stock apps (list in the WIKI section) (Not yet : WIP)

This sounds very promising!
Very good work,thank you for this script.


EDIT: i managed to debloat packages and APK's,hoever this ended up in a bootloop.
Device : Xiaomi Mi 9 , MIUI 12

In 2.9 it will be a systemless debloat for Android 10+ devices (see the release notes for v2.9-temp if you don't understand why)


Systemless debloat is the only solution for Android 10+ users because system can't be mounted in read-write anymore.

Hi w1nst0n. You did a great job with your debloater script. Thanks for sharing it! Keep up the great work!

It is possible to mount system as read-write in Android 10 and newer.

There are 2 tools that can do this. My oldschool script and the new sophisticated superrepack tool by @munjeni

@w1nst0n_fr - I just used your tool to debload Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro. It worked great. I removed xiaomi stuff, aosp and google (including google play services). Phone boots normally.

Thanks for your work and TBH I can't even imagine how much work it costs to maintain this tool up to date.

You can boot into recovery? There you can uninstall magisk.

Hi Guys, searched the thread but could not find others with my problem.

I receive the message "Your phone is not detected by ADB.", yet when I run "adb devices" my phone shows up. I can also run other commands such as adb reboot.
I'm using a oneplus 8 pro, rooted with magisk and running 11.0.5.5
Any help appreciated.

Are you running as root?

So I got it successfully running on my Huawei P20. I've ran the Huawei and the AOSP method.
The phone got shipped with Netflix, Huawei Translator, Microsoft Swiftkey Keyboard and some Google Apps (Google Movies, Google Music).

Is there a way I can remove them? The phone isn't rooted and won't be.
