[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SilviuO:
Hy all,

As many users asked me what bloatware i removed from my phone and at [MENTION=8359246]Andrei Morar[/MENTION] special request :D, I decided to create a thread with all the packages and their relative details about how each package listed here works on EMUI system for helping all of you who want to safely slim down the number of not used apps which are running in background alongside with some services preinstalled on phone that are not usable, for me and maybe for some others. I leave it to you to take the final choice about what to do with a package, remove it or not, and if you have other packages that you think it’s worthy to keep or remove, please comment bellow and i’ll add or remove that package.

Remember that those applications truly aren’t being fully uninstalled from the device, they are just being uninstalled for the current user (user 0 is the default / main user of the phone). That’s why, if you omit the “–user 0” and “-k” part of the uninstall command, the command won’t work. These two flags respectively specify that the system app will only be uninstalled for the current user (and not all users, which is something that requires root access) and that the cache / data of the system application will be preserved (which can’t be removed without root access). Therefore, even if you “uninstall” a system application using this method, you can still receive official OTA updates from your carrier or OEM.

If something does go wrong, you can always perform a factory reset to bring things back to the way they were. However, there’s an even easier way to bring back an app you uninstalled as this : open cmd-here.exe from C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot and enter the following commands: adb shell cmd package install-existing <name of package you wish to reinstall>.

IF you want to remove ads and you have no root or don't wan't to block your VPN or use Blokada, you can use my trick, it works on both WI-FI and mobile networks, as good as Adaway is doing :

Just set: Settings > Wi-Fi & Internet > Private DNS > dns.adguard.com and you are good without any additional app.

Here is the quick & easy guide for all:

1. Download latest Minimal ADB and Fastboot from here - thanks go to [MENTION=3558630]shimp208[/MENTION] for providing this great tool - https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

2. Enable USB debugging from developer options:

- Step 1: go to Settings

- Step 2: find and open "System" option

- Step 3: select "About phone"

- Step 4: tap "Build number" at least seven times and you will see a prompt with “You are now a Developer “. Then go to developer options and enable USB debugging (it's a MUST DO)

3. Connect your phone to your computer and press YES if it asks you to trust the PC

4. Launch cmd-here.exe from C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot and enter the following commands followed by Enter:

- adb devices (make sure your device appears in the list)

- adb shell

- pm uninstall -k --user 0 + the app you want to remove from the list below

- for restarting the device after succesfully removed unwanted package, type reboot and hit Enter, then your device will restart and remove the package from user.

For example:

This command will delete Huawei Mobile Services (including Huawei ID) app:

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.hwid
