I apologise for the off-topic in this thread!

Which busybox do you mean? The one by @osm0sis? I've updated it some weeks ago:

Spoiler content hidden.

Do you use "Fox's MMM"?

Running v17.3.3. Had been running v17.3.2.

Just updated to TP1A.220905.004 (8927612) on Google Pixel 6 Pro. Unable to debloat GMail, Google TV, YouTube, and YouTube Music after re-rooting. They don't show up in the menus of Debloater anymore. Anything additional to troubleshoot?

Update: Never mind. The Uninstall option showed up after a few more reboots. Not sure what took it so long.
[Magisk] wenyendev:
Hi,

has anyone met the problem "Magisk unactivated" while installing the debloater module?

I just rooted the phone and installed another module, but this one does work.

Thanks in advance!
[Magisk] Arcangel3:
I was in love of this tool, then I realized that if I unroot the phone all the apps I uninstalled using debloater come back.... :( That made me sad.

I want to unroot my device because I want to use payment apps, but I don't want the apps uninstallled with debloat back... What optioins do I have? (I tried to Root Essentials, but it fails to uninstall the apps)
[Magisk] EngineerMind:
Why don't you use the various methods (do search) to hide root on your device so your payment apps will run?
[Magisk] fobtob387:
Payment apps should work if you pass SafetyNet and use Magisk Hide.

Anyways, you can debloat apps without root via this tool: https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater
[Magisk] Arcangel3:
easy: I didn't know there was a way to Hide root until you said haha! I thought the only way was to unroot. Thank you! I will investigate!
[Magisk] Arcangel3:
Thanks! I will investigateboth!

Universal Android Debloater I tried, but windows detects it as risk and doesn't allow me to download it
[Magisk] Arcangel3:
@fobtob387 Magisk Hide worked for me! Thanks!!

But I have a question, out of curiosity. If you can use apps like Universal Android Debloater to completely delete the bloatware, what exactly is the advantage of using this Debloater which "only" replaces the app by a blank file and it doesn't really uninstall it?
[Magisk] 73sydney:
Neither actually removes or uninstalls the apps in the conventional sense of "uninstalling"

Universal Android Debloater GUI - just uninstalls the apps for the current user, (for most people with a single user on device) user 0 (needs a PC and cable to work)

Module simply uses a function of magisk to replace the app by a simple "replace" file (Doesnt need a PC, can be done device in terminal)

Both are reversible, again one needing more faffing about to achieve it

While im not overtly fond of using other peoples "lists" to debloat, one good thing Universal Android Debloater GUI has going for it is it wont let you (easily) do something terrible, like debloat this package on a Samsung:

com.samsung.android.kgclient

NEVER debloat that package, it will end in tears for you and you'll need to spend a while in adb terminal to fix it, OR most likely have to reflash your stock ROM

Note: i used this module for eons, but its become a bit tricky to use, and while i once entertained ideas of fixing the code, if youre like most people, you hate coming along and trying to work out someone elses code...and so lazybones here swapped to using this by a friend of mine:

https://xdaforums.com/t/magisk-module-systemless-debloater-replace.4180083/

I shared my debloat list with him from my S20+ 5G a little while back when he refactored some code and he was like "136 debloated packages? and it still boots?"

And i was like "yes, and i could remove more, but i just havent had the time to fiddle"

And before anyone asks (because invariably people do), no i wont share my list, because i dont need the dozens of follow up PM's asking me how to fix something you broke because you all use your devices differently than i do, using different apps etc...i dont need the drama
[Magisk] Arcangel3:
yeah , I understand what you mean, I uninstalled 50 apps using Debloat, but this is very personal... I am sure I uninstalled some that some people might find usefull and I have left others that some people might not find useful...

anyways, Thanks for the explanation. !!
[Magisk] Avengement:
Is there a reason I'm getting this error?

This was never a problem with the old version that you could install directly from the magisk interface.

I'm trying to set up a new device...
[Magisk] 73sydney:
how did you try and install it?...because theres only one correct way to do that, and thats via magisk manager....
[Magisk] veez21:
Possible. You can try reporting to other magisk threads for more support and also try different type of modules.
[Magisk] Sumeron:
Alright, will do! Thanks for your efforts so far, let's see if I can get this figured out!
[Magisk] anthortic:
Hello, using Xperia Z5 Compact E5823, Stock MM and Magisk 12.0

Installed terminal debloater 4.6 but does not pass boot screen. No boot loop just does not go further than the boot logo.

Uninstalled terminal debloater via magisk-mount and all is fine as before.

Unfortunately there were no logs in the debloat folder so I do not know how to contribute a solution for this.

Also, there are no other magisk modules installed.

Any ideas???

Cheers.
[Magisk] veez21:
hmm, try installing other modules

if you have the same prob with another module (make sure it mounts something, like App Systemizer), it could be that your phone doesn't work with magic mount
[Magisk] eyad_996:
Some apps don't get uninstalled

For some reason some system apps don't get deleted on my Note 4. For example I tried uninstalling Chrome, which comes preinstalled on the Note 4, but it didn't work. Uninstalling Evernote however, worked just fine.

For the sake of providing log files I've tried uninstalling Google Maps. The screenshot attached is all the apps I tried uninstalling except for Google Maps.

From the screenshot, the ones that did get uninstalled are Dropbox, Evernote, Pages Manger, Flipboard, Briefing, SHAHID, and Galaxy Apps. The rest are still listed in the All Apps section in Settings and still run when I click on them.

I've read every post in this thread in case someone was facing the same issue as me but apparently not. Maybe it's Samsung's evil work with their ROMs.

Any idea what's causing this?
[Magisk] eyad_996:
I found the culprit. The apps that weren't getting uninstalled were updated to newer versions. I had to revert them back to their original version either by uninstalling the updates through Google Play Store, or choosing to "Replace this app with the factory version" after clicking on the 'Disable' button in the Apps section in the settings.

I don't know if this only happens with TouchWiz or not.
[Magisk] veez21:
Ok, thanks for the info. I'll try to do a workaround for it when I have time ?
[Magisk] Adhil Rahman:
I am using lineage os do i have to do the process again after every firmware update
[Magisk] veez21:
well, if you wipe your data, yes otherwise, no
[Magisk] En0id:
Magisk 13 beta has Busybox removed, so now we have the following obvious error:

/data/magisk/busybox: not found

If I remember correctly there is going to be a Magisk Busybox module, but it's not released as of yet.

For those wanting to use this module on Magisk 13 beta right now, you can install the osm0sis Busybox Installer and after creating a symlink manually to /data/magisk/busybox it works.
[Magisk] Landrea:
I was facing the same issue on my Honor 6x. Fixed as you said, first uninstall updates, then debloat!!
[Magisk] veez21:
Ok, that can be done. Plus, i have to update it to support magisk 13 beta :)
[Magisk] veez21:
UPDATED TO v5!

Changelog:

Move aapt

Fix Magisk v13 support

Download at Magisk Manager
[Magisk] candiesdoodle:
Hey..thanks for the gr8 work

There seems to be an error in flashing latest v5. I am on the latest beta of magisk

Installation aborts with an 'install error' in magisk manager.

And in twrp - throws an error 1 after the 'setting pernission' stage

However, the module seems to get installed. But running it from command prompt and when starting to add to the debloat queue, it just hangs stating busybox not found.
[Magisk] veez21:
Sorry for the inconvenience ?

I was rushing thing yesterday, I'll push an update later ?
[Magisk] Adhil Rahman:
This module is not working for me.i am using v13 magisk.does it require busybox
[Magisk] candiesdoodle:
Thanks man. Appreciate your help!!!
[Magisk] Adhil Rahman:
Can u provide the link
[Magisk] Avengement:
The only way I'm aware of doing it now is through the fox magisk modual manager since magisk dropped support for installing moduals directly through the app a few versions back apparently. Once it's installed it shows up as a module in magisk but when prompting the command in a terminal on the device you get the error seen in the screenshot I posted above. This is the first fime I've installed debloater this way though and now it's not working...
[Magisk] 73sydney:
Magisk Manager never dropped support for installing modules...i use it to install every module i have stored locally in my backup (downloaded from separate module repos), which i copy onto storage on the device itself every new flash

The Magisk Repo was removed from within Magisk Manager...thats a different thing entirely...2 separate things

As much as i like Fox's Magisk Module Manager, it can be buggy on occasion....

Also it tends to download the source.zip from repos (which is different from a release zip - which has a proper internal module structure).

I suggest if you have issues you download the module you want directly from the actual source module repo or in this case, since theres no release on the repo for this module, the one attached here

and install it via Magisk Manager...last icon on the bottom menu bar....

OR, if Fox's MMM fails to install it properly, and it seems it has...

you'll likely have to:

1) Open the zip downloaded via Fox's MMM

2) Copy all the files from the subfolder in the zip, into a new folder, so all files are in the root folder

3) Rezip,

4) Install using the Magisk Manager...last icon on the bottom menu bar....

I know which i do and would rather do :)

If my comments about the difference in the structure inside a source.zip and a release zip (in this case ) download both the release.zip and master/source.zip from releases on a moduel repo and open them, it should be crystal clear then....Magisk Manager, the traditional way to install modules expects to find files in the root folder to tell it what to do....a master/source.zip will have a subfolder and will fail

Fox's MMM downloads the master/source.zip and then does its thing (i assume it tries to extract and repackage the master/source. zip into a correctly formatted module zip?) to try and install them, it can go badly wrong...
[Magisk] Avengement:
You are right. When I downloaded the most recent version of magisk and opened the module tab looking for debloater only to see that the list was empty, I went looking for a solution and another users post claimed support was dropped and to install the fox magisk modual manager to pick up where it had left off. Clearly they were wrong because installing the zip you linked via the internal storage option which I didn't even initially see in the module tab has worked perfectly.

Thanks for taking the time to explain this to me. Much appreciated.
[Magisk] 73sydney:
Fox MMM gets it right most of the time, but every now and then....so keep the manual method (visit the module repo if possible, download a zip from the releases section and flash via Magisk Manager) handy as a backup
[Magisk] Arealhooman:
This does not work for me. For some reason the app list does not load and when I give package name it can’t find it.
[Magisk] Avengement:
By the way, what is the terminal command to individually remove packages that aren't populated in the debloater lists? I've done it before but can't remember what the terminal syntax is. Also, is there a way to permanently delete these apps? This newest version of debloater seems to only be temporary or "systemless" so if I were to ever remove debloater the removed apps would simply return...
[Magisk] 73sydney:
Try the alternate debloater module, its far more recent, though wkrs differently (not from a terminal - read the documentation)

https://xdaforums.com/t/magisk-module-systemless-debloater-replace.4180083/

The while poiint of using magisk is to do things systemlessly (i.e. to avoid the various OS and app checks noticing there have been any modifications to system) Most if not all modem SAR (System As Root) devices do not have a readable system, and while it is possible to make them so, its highly NOT recommended

If this debloater doesnt work for you, and it is not maintained and has had issues for a number of years now, use the alternate one, mentioned just above. Its personally what i use now
[Magisk] bbortel93:
Exactly, I use Fox Magisk module installer to get it done on every fresh flash I do... Works flawlessly for me.
[Magisk] Avengement:
The alternative "debloater replace" module you reference is the one that fox magisk module manager comes with that I previously had the install problem come to light after attempting to use. Whether that's a problem with the module itself or how it was installed I don't know. However, how is it different from the regular debloater? I see that it apparently installs a blank dummy apk in place of the actual one. How does the standard debloater work? Are either of these methods permanent in the sense that if the module is removed or disabled the "removed" bloat apps won't return? I personally don't care if my device returns a positive safetynet check. I don't need OTA updates since I'm running a custom ROM that needs to be reflashed if I decide to update and I don't use any banking apps since I prefer to manually login via a website interface for stronger security.

Also, I'm still looking for the way to remove other bloat apps that don't appear in the debloat module lists. Just need the terminal command since it's been a couple years and I've forgotten it.

Thanks again.
[Magisk] 73sydney:
While im glad it works for you, but youre just assuming it works all the time for everyone, and clearly it doesnt. Also i have been a tester for Fox MMM since the beginning (its installed on my device as we speak) and had my own modules on the replacement repo at one point, so im not anti Fox MMM, far from it....but it can glitch, because ive seen it personally happen many times, hence why i gave the alternate method to still use Magisk Manager an alternative...

And the Magisk Manager or terminal (magisk --install-module <zip>) are still the only officially sanctioned ways to install a module (factual comment)
[Magisk] PhYrE85:
Installed Debloater_(Terminal_Emulator)-v17.3.3(76).zip via magisk and getting the above error in the terminal. Module is listed in magisk though. Any ideas?
[Magisk] 73sydney:
did you reboot after you installed the module?

i think not.....
[Magisk] PhYrE85:
You think wrong. Thanks for the suggestion.
[Magisk] 73sydney:
that has all the hallmarks of not having rebooted as the file doesnt exist in the %path% until the device has been rebooted and the file has been overlayed in %path%

its the most common issue people have with missing commands after installing a magisk module

if you think this isnt the case, then please install the module again and before you exit the magisk manager install screen, click the save button to save the install log and post here
[Magisk] PhYrE85:
Here you go
[Magisk] 73sydney:
Cheers, that shows its indeed installed correctly

can you try manually confirming the presense of the debloat file, either by a root file explorer in /system/xbin

or via terminal:

su -c find /system -name "debloat" 2> /dev/null
[Magisk] PhYrE85:
It does exist and does look valid to me. Want to see it?
[Magisk] 73sydney:
Weird one, have you tried running it via

su -c /system/xbin/debloat
[Magisk] PhYrE85:
This does work!! Thanks so much. Any idea what might cause this? Got no problem running any other module just by command.
[Magisk] 73sydney:
Glad that worked, because that was like the last logical step before i tapped out :)

It appears as /system/xbin isnt in the PATH....
[Magisk] PhYrE85:
Sadly it seems my joy was premature. Even though the module seems to work it does not do anything.

Also it says busybox not detected even though it is installed and other module detect it.

I might have to accept that it won't work for me anymore.
[Magisk] 73sydney:
thats the weirdest thign ive seen since this module began - something weird weird to do with your device

try the alternate debloater, that i switched to a while back and linked earlier in thread...

https://xdaforums.com/t/magisk-module-systemless-debloater-replace.4180083/
[Magisk] PhYrE85:
I guess I will have to. But it feels like a weak alternative to me. Process seems unnecessary complicated and also it can't debloat priv apps which are most of the apps I want gone like google. Doesn't feel worth it if I can't debloat all apps.
[Magisk] Abdul Ah@d:
does this method free up the space after deleting apps?
[Magisk] 73sydney:
It debloats apps under the most common paths, including priv-app, you dont have to specify the paths, just the app name, it figures that out...one way its better than the previous

I was a teser for it using my Samsung S20+

I believe i hold the record (well no ones tried challenging it) for most packages debloated and still booting on a stock (Samsung) ROM (Android 13), at 169 packages :)

When i came back to Pixel (Pixel 6 Pro) just recently i posted this to the module dev:

debloat list on Samsung: 137 (A12) -169 (A13)

debloat list on Pixel 6 Pro: 4 (A13)

Yes, its a bit of a faff to wade through the first run log and pull the app names you want to debloat, but you only have to do it once for the bulk of obvious packages, and then flash the module again

heres the relevant seciton of my /sdcard/Download/SystemlessDebloaterList.sh file for illustration purposes:

DebloatList="
Drive
Videos
YouTube
YouTubeMusicPrebuilt
"
[Magisk] 73sydney:
No, only actually uninstalling the applications would do that, this works by obstensively overlaying a blank file in place of the actual apk.....if you disable or uninstall the module, the original apk is loaded again....its a trick to stop the number of running applications, not installed applications
[Magisk] xadad:
It's weird some app like Files by Google (com.google.android.apps.nbu.files) not show in app list so i have to create .replace file in /data/adb/modules/terminal_debloater/system/priv-app
[Magisk] Avengement:
No.

This module is actually pretty useless in it's current state. It doesn't actually remove anything and infact keeps all the bloat trash on your device not to mention the lists that populate are always missing tons of apps and there's no way to manually search.

You're much better off using an alternative debloater that permanently removes the crap on your device. Just make sure you backup before doing so.
[Magisk] xtzy:
To remove or freeze applications better use

ADB AppControl

Official website of the ADB AppControl application. Free Download. Latest release. The ultimate applications manager and debloat tool for Android devices.

Nice
[Magisk] art_jingwu:
Can Android 11 be used?
[Magisk] Avengement:
Sure if you prefer to pretend to debloat your device instead of actually removing the bloat.
[Magisk] kpirnie:
Some folks like that sense of accomplishment by not seeing the app icon in their drawer ;)

Do wish they left the system partitions writable with root...
[Magisk] Bigman0988:
Wouldn't freezing them with one of those applications that freezes background running apps be better?

I really thought it uninstalled the apps.
[Magisk] Bigman0988:
The app says that root is not needed. Does that mean it is less powerful? Can this app remove all the residual bits for the apps I want to delete as well as the updates, data and whatever else? Or do I have have to manually do that myself?

Is this app one where I can use it as a file navigation app as well?

And what do you mean by "modern version? I clicked on the link, and so it's showing is the same termi NB al debloater from this thread.
[Magisk] Avengement:
I wouldn't call a pretentious file replacement an accomplishment but in a world of fake everything that wouldn't surprise me. How this new version is still titled "debloater" when no debloating is actually being done is beyond logic.
[Magisk] Avengement:
It's been mentioned countless times in the thread that this doesn't actually remove anything in recent versions. There are other apps that do and once uninstalled actually free up storage space/stay that way. Seek one of those instead. Avoid this misleading garbage.
[Magisk] Bigman0988:
The misleading garbage being magisk terminal debloater? Or ADB App control?

What are your recommendations? Currently using SD maid for debloat and cleaning phone, but wasn't I want someone that can actually take care of those /system apps. Just have to research which ones are safe to eliminate first, though.
[Magisk] Avengement:
This "debloater" app/terminal plugin that doesn't actually debloat anything.

I haven't had to rip out a bunch of crap from a device for a while since I run a custom ROM that was quite bare bones to begin with but when I did there was an app on I believe f-droid titled something along the lines of "uninstall system apps" with a basic tap GUI. If I remember correctly it did require root privileges. Might want to start there if it hasn't changed or been removed at this point. Changes made to the device were not reversable though so research what individual components are before removing if you don't want to risk a soft brick of the OS when rebooting.
[Magisk] Bigman0988:
Understood. But I was asking if the ADB App control desktop program this thread is talking about is able to completely delete system apps.

I don't see '"uninstall system apps" in f-droid, but I do see something called "Batch uninstaller" by Sarbajit Saha. It says:

"Batch Uninstaller allows you to uninstall multiple apps at once. If root

permission is not available, you can still delete multiple apps a lot quicker

than you can using the native android implementation. However, you will be

prompted for each app uninstalled. Non Root users can not uninstall system apps.

This is a limitation with the Android Operating system."
[Magisk] Avengement:
ADB is just the command line interface via command prompt on windows for example between a PC and your phone when connected via a USB cable. It has many functions including removing apps individually. You can google tutorials. It's a very slow and tedius process though.

Like I said, I haven't used that app in a while. Do a search for it. There's probably a github repository.
[Magisk] Bigman0988:
No. I'm not talking about CMD. I was asking about this:
[Magisk] Avengement:
Never used it so I can't say. It appears to be a gui windows program that runs ADB scripts for you so you don't have to manually type the commands yourself. If this is the case it would have the exact same functionality.

Have you tried it?

EDIT: Reading is your friend. It took about 10 seconds of doing so on the main page before the following:

Just root your device and install the app I suggested instead of all this other nonsense.
