super easy debloat

I came to this phone from a Xiaomi mi mix 3 so I had a very useful app on my PC called Xiaomi adb toolkit. So with this app u just plug your phone into PC and open it and it shows all the apps it can uninstall on screen with just push uninstall. Granted all the apps don't populate for a Samsung so u can add apps by package name and then click uninstall and it shows success on the window . I was able to uninstall any app on this phone with this toolkit with this method. To get package names off apps on your phone just download package names from play store hope this helps everyone.

Thanks for sharing, what is the difference between uninstalling and disabling applications on the performance? any significant difference noticed?

Uninstalling removes them completely so you'd gain the storage space...

Can you share the link?

Can one be sure that this Xiaomi toolkit will not deliver/install some security risks on your phone?

Just used the dpi changer and it also works flawlessly this phone looks great at 450 dpi...yes this app is safe it's from a well known developer for xaiomi phones just search for Xiaomi adb fastboot tool

Here is what the gui looks like

Sorry to drag up a old thread but can anyone vouch for this?, Does it actually uninstall the app fully instead of essentially "hiding" it like the typical adb method?

Seems like the main advantage to this, is that it'll give us back storage space, instead of hiding the app from User 0, but I was under the assumption this was only possible with root access, how is this application bypassing that?

It looks like a GUI for the adb method. See the post about it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/how-to/guide-automatic-remove-appsrootless-t3935157

Is just A GUI for ADB, so it uses the le and regular ADB commands to do it too. A GUI may just be more convenient.

I don't think you'll gain much space though, (it's not really an issue with the Note) since it's only uninstalled for the user 0, but it's not hidden. The advantage is that you can reinstall it in case of you need it back without factory reset.

My understanding is that the adb method uninstalls updates & the just hides the factory application from User 0 as it's still in the phones storage, from OPs description I mistakenly thought he was suggesting it fully uninstalled the app even from system

Plenty of apps that can remove any apk on the phone. i use CCSWE App Manager. Before that some smasung only apps but they have quit support and it doesnt recognize me as a paid member. The CCSWE does exact same thing. You can hide or uninstall without root.

Not from the system partition which I thought OP was referring to
