Can this work on OnePlus devices also?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] SeeTurtle:
Worked perfectly one my OnePlus 9 5G

If you can't get twrp (like you can't on A12 currently) here is a guide.

Just replaced abl_a and abl_b with the file provided. I used root explorer. I extracted the zip. Pasted able.elf into the location dev/block/bootdevice/by-name. I selected the file by holding it. And changed the permission using the 3 dots on the top right corner to 777 (giving it full access, it should check all boxes) and then renamed it to the one I was replacing. Meaning you have to do this twice. Once for abl_a and once for abl_b.

Thank you op for providing the file!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] TheGhost1951:
the steps you provide do not seem complete. Can you elaborate, tried it both the zip and manually, the zip failed and stated it was for wayne devices, manually after copy and paste and changed permissions, the system set everything back the way it was.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] drumsmasher:

Universal Android Debloater

View attachment 5590131

This is a complete rewrite in Rust of the UAD bash script.

DISCLAIMER : Use this software at your own risk. I am not responsible for anything that could happen to your phone.
​

Summary

I try to maintain a universal tool which removes bloatwares on any Android phones by using ADB.

The main goal is to improve battery performance and privacy by removing unnecessary and obscure system apps. This can also contribute to improve security by reducing the attack surface.

Packages are as well documented as possible in order to provide a better understanding of what you can delete or not. The worst thing which could happen is removing an essential system package needed during boot causing then an unfortunate bootloop. After about 5 failed system boots, the phone will automatically reboot in recovery mode and you'll have to perform a FACTORY RESET. So make a backup first!

In any case, you can NOT brick your device with this script ! That's the main thing, right ? :)

Features

Uninstall/Disable and Restore/Enable system packages

Multi-user support (e.g apps in work profiles)

Export/Import your selection in uad_exported_selection.txt

Multi-device support: you can connect multiple phones at the same time

All your actions are logged so you never forget what you've done

NB : System apps cannot really be uninstalled without root (see the FAQ)

How to report bugs

Open an issue on Github. I rarely respond on this XDA thread.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kurtn:
Nice approach. Has someone tried to debloat Google play services? Up till now I install GApps free custom ROMs on my phones.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kurtn:
I try extreme google debloat on Samsung A3 2017. First check was OK. Debloater 2.1 with standard settings GFAM worked fine. Factory reset completely restored all the bloatware.

Second try:

Install f-droid and hacker's keyboard before install

$ adb push F-Droid.apk /storage/emulated/0

$ adb push org.pocketworkstation.pckeyboard_1041001.apk /storage/emulated/0

Replace all #"com.google with "com.google in /lists/Google.sh

Debloat GFAM

Reboot is OK. Playstore still there, but can be deactivated. Samsung_bloat can't be debloated.

Sometimes I get the message Google play services has stopped.

F-Droid can install apps. They run.

Galaxy store can't get deactivated.

Edit: debloating webview was no good idea. I've got many crashes of antennapod app. Restoring helped.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kurtn:
Noob solution: copy Samsung list into Google list and debloat GFAM. Looks good. Only headlines are now says four times Samsung.

GMS debloat fails with some device policy error.

Next noob trick

$ adb shell

a3y17lte:/ $ pm uninstall com.google.android.gms

Failure [DELETE_FAILED_DEVICE_POLICY_MANAGER]

a3y17lte:/ $ pm disable-user com.google.android.gms

Package com.google.android.gms new state: disabled-user
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Maybeyou:
Hi, thank you for this nice thread, exactly what I was looking for.

Possibly a solution for google play services:

I did deactivated the Google play services on Samsung a20 without computer by entering settings app, then "biometric and security" then "other security settings" then "device admin apps" and unselect "find my device", then head over apps in settings and "show system apps, then search for Google play services and now it can be disabled,

For samsung apps you can deactivate it by deactivating "galaxy store"

Perhaps the user must do that before running the code.

HOPE you can manage to translate that into your code language, and integrate it into your script, so we can all enjoy it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Maybeyou:
Thank you very much, worked like a charm.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Maybeyou:
Hi, I encountered a very small problem today when i tried to share a video to another phone through Wi-Fi Direct, I can't share with wifi Direct, the only available option is bluetooth (see attachment), do you how can I solve this ?​
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kurtn:
Search your "debloated packages" list for wifi related stuff and restore that. Or make sure both devices are i the same wlan and use an app like TrebleShot or KDE connect
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] w1nst0n_fr:
Sorry for the wait!

I'm glad you find my project useful ! :)

I don't understand your question. If you want to debloat Google Play Services why installing Gapps in the first place ? :confused:

Small tip : you can directly do

$ adb install F-droid.apk

There was a pretty nasty bug in v2.1 which prevented using the "manufacturer lists". Use v2.2.1 (or, better, wait for the v2.3 which should be released within the week!)

If you have the message `Google Play Services has stopped` it means you didn't uninstall the package. Did you uninstall some Google packages in the advanced debloat section ?

Regarding the Google Webview you can uninstall it but a lot of apps will no longer work correctly or even open. Bromite WebView is a good and more private alternative if you really need a Webview (which is a kind of mini web browser for apps which need to display web content btw)

@Maybeyou is right. You need to uncheck Find My Device from the Device admin apps before trying to uninstall the Google Play Services.

I already mentioned this in the Google.sh file and a script can't do it. It's something you need to do ! I assume a user will read the package description I wrote in the advanced debloat section before doing anything.

Mhm... I delete Wifi-direct by default but I'm gonna change this behavior for the next version.

Restore com.samsung.android.allshare.service.fileshare to get Wifi-direct back ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kurtn:
[MENTION=10413801]w1nst0n_fr[/MENTION] thank you. My first post was not about debloating custom rom from GApps. It was a general question: is the debloater an alternative approach to get a 99% Google free phone. My answer: yes, but you need some luck. You can't know how your phone perfoms afterwards. For custom rom there are tons of reports for each device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Maybeyou:
Yes this is a great project for me, and I did restore com.samsung.android.allshare.service.fileshare and now wifi Direct is working again. Thanks mate, keep up this great work brother ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] w1nst0n_fr:
Oh ! I misread you first post actually. You were talking about Gapps free phone. I understand better now!

IMO the most reliable and safest way to get a 99% Google free phone is to install an AOSP custom ROM without Gapps. For the 1% left you need to tinker with DNS, WebView, GPS... (this guide is not bad)

I insist on AOSP custom ROM because a stock-based custom ROM has the same issues as my script. The thing is it is not always possible to unlock the bootloader or to find an AOSP ROM for one's device. This why I created this script.

What is really tedious and not always simple is to document all the packages. There is a LOT of system packages whose the exact function is hard to determine and the consequence of their uninstallation very obscure. When I have the apk I can at least try to reverse-engineer to make some assumptions but it isn't bulletproof.

Thanks. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kurtn:
Nice promotion! "Hey this is second best" I see quite some advantages over aosp rom.

Better hardware support like camera or graphics acceleration.

Better security due to locked boot loader and latest patches in proprietary components.

Better stability - no hobbyists mess around.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rameshhelp:
hi developer

can u pls screenshot or youtube record the process please? im abit lost with the whole thing. i am aware how to use adb n remove manually bloatwares. unless u could provide the whole lists of bloatwares?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kurtn:
Download zip from link in OP. There are human readable files inside
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] netcrk:
I did "install WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) in order to be able to use bash scripts and Install ADB. If you want ADB support everywhere on your PC, you need to add the path of the ADB folder in the system variables"

When i use bash app: bash debloat_script.sh and get error "debloat_script.sh: line 112: adb: command not found"

Plz help me, tnx

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xradiation:
- hi guys, i would like to share this exported txt file from 'debloater' which i installed as a magisk module to debloat a samsung phone, in essence debloater works in the same way as the script in the main thread ( thanks [MENTION=10413801]w1nst0n_fr[/MENTION] ) other than it can be used locally in termux.

- it took me a while to get the phone to a stable state with multiple tries but i eventually managed to do it.

- I've managed to debloat most of samsung/google junk out including but not limited to google apps, i hope this will help ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dprski33:
A while back, I dropped my 8525 and cracked the screen. I paid $170 to replace the screen, and a couple months later, I was unable to consistently make phone calls. I frequently get error messages like "the phone is not ready. Wait 15 seconds and try again". Occasionally, the phone will attempt to redial the last number I called, even if the SIM has been removed. (I've been using a prepaid phone with the SIM from my 8525 to make calls and send text messages).

I have scoured this forum and the wiki researching this issue.

Here is what I've tried:

Exchanging the SIM (have tried 2 separate "3G" SIMs from AT&T)

Upgrading the phone to WM6 (tried multiple ROMS)

Downgrading the phone to WM5 (HTC stock)

Upgrading the radio to pretty much all of them

Selecting GSM Only in the Band settings

Multiple "band selector" programs to keep the phone from switching bands

Opening the device and putting paper on the "pressure" point (though I can't be entirely sure I did this right, since the original poster of that term never clarified what he/she meant)

None of these options have been able to fix the problem (which I fully understand may be a hardware problem, and thus there's little/nothing I can do).

Here, then, is my question:

How can I completely disable the phone, data, wifi on this device?

I would like to be able to give the device to my lady as a poor man's iPod Touch. I want her to be able to listen to music, podcasts, sync with outlook, use the camera, and play games without having to deal with the phone/data problems I've been trying to remedy.

The phone issues on this device have been maddening, and it has nearly ended up smashed into tiny pieces MANY times. I will probably end up getting an iphone so I can carry only 1 device with me, rather than this piece of sh!t and my crappy prepaid.

Thanks for your help.

[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] ddix:
After switching to the Galaxy S10 phone, I noticed that the gallery photo editor application is robbed of its best features. it's so frustrating when these manufacturers just arbitrarily decide to screw up a good thing.

I constantly and I mean constantly use gallery photo editor and the eyedropper feature to select a custom color and then use the pen to edit out things in images I don't visible. I make them disappear by writing over them in the exact custom colors that already exist in the image. I choose that color with the eyedropper!

Now it seems you either have to overlay a text box over the top which flat out doesn't work because the new text box interface is so bulky and ridiculously lacking because it only has a very very few options. The NEW UNIMPROVED paint feature has ONLY 10 or so canned multicolor designs you can print with... WHO WANTS TO PAINT WITH MULTICOLOR DESIGNS? (KINDA DUMB, but okay)

1. Please don't tell me to go download it because I already look for it and it isn't there.

2. I already tried clicking the upper right corner and clicking advanced and then clicking the pencil to edit and then going through all the options inside that area and it's not there.

3. I've tried using the key combination to create a screenshot and several third-party apps to create screenshots in my efforts to find the eyedropper and it is not there.

4. Please don't tell me to go download Photoshop or some other app I don't want too; I just want my photo editor eye-dropper back!!

I use it constantly and I mean constantly 50 times a day! I take screenshots and edit out ads and things like text and hearts and stars to indicate the item is a favorite etc. using the eyedropper to select the custom background color and then the pen to write over the top of whatever it is you don't want visible makes it blend right into the background... THIS IS SO UNIMAGINABLY BASIC!

I be already spent weeks hunting for where the ability to add an image inside another image and finally was able to find it obscured in stickers area! I've searched and searched every possible conceivable section for any imaginable way they might have hid in the eye dropper and I just can't find it!!

I just want my eye dropper back! It's causing massive problems because I can't do what I need to do 100 times a day!!

Can someone within the limitations outlined above 1 through 4 please PLEASE tell me where the eyedropper went?!?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] athenalong:
I'm in the SAAAAMMMME BOAT.

I manage several different social media accounts, and have used this feature FOR YEARS to edit out extraneous things. It was simple and easy.

Weirdly enough, it was there in November, so it kept my main sampled color as an option, WHICH IS THE ONLY WAY I can basically continue to do what I do. This has been a nightmare.

If you find anything out, PLEASE let me know.

I'll also do the same.
