I use magisk module called debloater.

You install it, then install some terminal.

Them su enter

Debloat enter

Go to system apps whatever by simply typing number of the folder you want to go in all is listed in terminal screen

Delete whatever you want

Then in case like yours you booted up and after days found out something ain't working what you could do is to go to terminal type su, debloat and install app one by one you will see list of apps you uninstalled, and just mark the ones you want to install back,

Or

Delete debloater magisk module you installed inside magisk reboot and all apps you uninstalled would be back on your screen. Then you could again try to uninstall each.

Thanks for the good work here.

Few comments/questions here:

S21 Ultra - after debloating Messaging icon still stays, both on home screen and all apps listing. When clicked it gives white window.

Updates were broken so I followed your instructions on recovering three apps mentioned and it works now. Question is what is the reasoning behind deliberately excluding those, is that a security risk of some sort? If not, perhaps exclude them from Debloat list.

How do I uninstall Samsung Notes?

What could be disrupting Aurora Store operation, it does not work properly?

(Since my original question I've managed to fix the Aurora store, External Storage permission was not granted initially, after granting it works)

Thanks again & keep up the good work!

Only a guess but it seems like youre using the command wrong. In first post it says "pm uninstall --user 0..." you just do "pm uninstall user 0" without "--" and in your first try you forgot a space as it seems "pm uninstall--user"

Can someone offer some advice on this problem? I prefer the Google Contacts. So on a Samsung Flip 3 running Android 12 this works:

$ ./adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.contacts

Package com.samsung.android.app.contacts new state: disabled-user

So far, so good! The Samsung orange Contacts icon is gone while the Google Contacts icon remains usable. However, if I enter my Samsung Secure Folder, the Samsung Contacts icon is still there. And if I click the Samsung icon it still works.

How can I disable this Samsung application in the Secure Folder? I'm hoping to generalize this answer, since I don't use Samsung Internet browser and a few other Samsung applications.

I'm trying to use a gentle "disable" rather than "uninstall", if possible, since it's easier to recover by using "enable" rather than reinstalling a package.

Thank you in advance for your advice.

OK, I have tried to uninstall the application. Here's the command I used to uninstall Samsung Contacts:

Success

So far, so good. However the orange Samsung Contacts icon remains in the Samsung Secure Folder. Is my command incorrect? Or is there another user number other than zero to use?

Samsung Contacts can't be uninstalled via the Setting-->Apps. I did try a more general uninstall, which didn't work:

./adb shell pm uninstall com.samsung.android.app.contacts

Hi all. Im pretty new here on XDA. and in a sense also new to the rooting ect on Samsung Devices.

id just like to know if there us someone here or out there in the XDA cyberworld that would possibly take the time and make up a list of apps/bloatware that would be safe to uninstall/disable on the Samsung S20 FE device running Android 12 One UI 4.1??

Also please bare in mind that my device is NOT ROOTED. Im seem to be struggling to find a stable and safe twrp recovery and everything else that is needed.

Hi everyone,

I debloated my S20 with the given list - first of all, great work !

However, the Samsung Gallery app does not show any pictures at all though there are plenty of on the phone which can be seen by other gallery apps or the file browser.

Furthermore if I take a picture with the Samsung Photo app it briefly shows the taken image and then vanishes. If I try to access the gallery from the photo app it says that there are no images to display but the just taken photo exists on the DCIM folder as expected.

Any ideas what went wrong here ? I double checked - not other apps have been disabled than on the list.

Thx for any idea.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] xbt-:
FYI don't blindly uninstall everything per OP. There are a lot of useful packages in the list you should not uninstall unless you want a super-minimal phone.

I would not recommend uninstalling all this. Instead, go to TitaniumBackup and manually disable what you don't want. It's tedious, but you only have to do it once.

I didn't learn the hard way. I read through the list because I disable via Titanium Backup. (also you can use Neo Backup which is the fork from OanBackupX which is the fork from TitaniumBackup. I still find TitaniumBackup to be the best IMO).
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] mrbonine:
I am not so brave to attempt this adb procedure, but have frozen system apps that have interfered with the phone working properly. Titanium never worked for me, it couldn't create a restorable backup. I've used SD Maid since at least GSIII and freeze apps manually (about 200 frozen out of 700). I also disable their startup links at the same time. I also use the clean-up processes included and run them nightly. This requires root, which I need other apps to work. I'm currently on my 981B and have new appreciation for it's lackluster speed and serious battery drain compared to Qualcom. The other benefit is that I have full control on the phone and don't need a PC. On Win 10 (and also 7) adb has path issues and isn't stable, even with the best cable (the one from Samsung or a good quality cable that's shorter). All the effort creating the list and maintaning it is impressive and appreciated. It's a shame we have to resort to this, but the difference in performance can be dramatic.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] nacos:
One of the best threads in this section!

Just a thought...the safest and most conservative approach to this would probably be to have your phone rooted, with TWRP installed, and create a nandroid backup BEFORE attempting any debloating - this way, if anything unexpected happens, you can always go back to the previous, functional state.

As a personal note, like you, I've noticed lots of unwanted changes imposed by both Samsung & Google. I have two SM-G980F phones and after biting the bullet and "upgrading" one of them to Android 12 - which I deeply regreted it - in order to maintain a bare minimum privacy, I was "forced" to take the custom ROM road and now it runs Lineage 19.1. It took a whole lot of tinkering to get it to work to my satisfaction (as close as stock as possible) but in the end I believe it's a succes story. You can read about it here. The other S20 still runs a heavily debloated rooted, microG, stock Android 10 and, it's guranteed that I will NEVER make the mistake of "upgrading" that one.

As far as I'm concerned, starting from Android 10, I should say, all subsequent Android itterations are more of a regress than a progress.

Lots of privacy invasion implementations, harder to circumvent

Increased Google control (see who owns now the Android network controller in Android 12 & 13)

Additional nonsesical restrictions

UI bastardization in the name of standardization and

Really hard restrictions to downgrading (no wonder).

Personally, I used Terminal Debloater - a Magisk module that seamlessly removes unwanted packages however, I do see some advantages in also using adb, as suggested here.

As for a root app manager I highly recommend App Manager from F-Droid

Thanks for your hard work, dedication and for sharing! (y)

only one gave me a lil shock, livedrawing did not uninstall succesful and half of shell screen were with hieroglyphs).

nevertheless, should a bad uninstall cause problems? i don't mind getting it from scratch again and dodge that livedrawing, or i had it opened?

i m using app inspector also to check, some apps changed their default location.

"exception occured while executing uninstall unsuccessful" followed by tons of shell phrases. (i've closed that cmd, and reopened another one, don't know exactly the fault)

Just applied this list to a Galaxy A54 that I previously debloated to clean up anything I had missed. 246 apps disabled, 170 still active, more than 60% of all preinstalled apps disabled. Only thing I didn't remove was Google Play Services and Galaxy Themes service, however I kept the Play store disabled.

Just wanted to report GoodLock and all its subapps work just fine still if you don't disable the themes service. That's the only thing I was worried about.

With sdcard being mounted, and given a notification about it (open/unmount), the open button does not send me to the sdcard. Is it because the functionality of the button is tied to samsung's file browser app (which I believe I deleted)? If so, how can I tie it to an third party app if possible. More importantly I am unable to format sdcard. It also disappeared from list, though I can browse it from material browser, perhaps it's because I removed it while phone was turned on. Here is how it looks. Anyone know why I can't reformat the sdcard, did I remove a system app as I debloated? If so what's name of it so I can reinstall.

[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] F0L:
Just thought I would post regarding this box. Not much information on it.

I bought on a whim without realising the one thing I wanted was missing (Bluetooth). However the box has grown on me.

Its powered by the new Allwinner H616 Chip. However its performance sucks. For some reason they have forced CPU to 1.4GHz all the time. No point in my opinion, it just causes it to heat up for no reason.

Anyways, it comes fully rooted. I did try and install SuperSU, ended up killing root. So I reflashed it using usb flasher. There is also a new firmware update, which shows when doing wireless update.

Firmware released is 10.1.12, update takes it up to 10.1.14. So I did update and then factory reset to start fresh. The only problem is, rom is such a mess. App folders every where and system is filled to 100%. I deleted bloat in /system/pre-install folder.

I stopped rooting stuff years ago, so Magisk is newish to me. I thought I would try Magisk manager. Worked great, was able to install Magisk. From then on all root apps worked as I was able to set root access, which is something I could not do before. I also installed kernel auditor and set read ahead on and tweaked the build.prop. This helped speed it up, now stuff like Emulators no longer jerk and stutter.

One downside, Prime video does not work, you have to use Amazon Video (which is their browser alternative).

So hope this helps anyone with the same box.

I tried magisk manager, loaded on an old version sitting on a memory card and updated it, then I flashed 20.4 magisk with it and both are showing as installed and up-to-date. I still haven't seen any root dialogue and magiskSU is blank. so... do I have 2 root solutions on my device at the same time, one system pre-installed and one systemless ?

EDIT: turning off the root switch and rebooting allowed magisk to pick up the remaining root apps that had superSU through the built-in root. it also allowed adaway to finally install systemless hosts.

turn off root if you flashed magisk via magisk manager don't be a numbskull like me.

I'd be happier if I had TWRP onboard, is there a way to achieve this currently ?

---------- Post added at 08:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 AM ----------

installing titanium from the playstore I was able to freeze the stock ATV YouTube app and replace it with YouTube Vanced 14.21.54 (no more adverts, but tricky navigation) so if Alice is the launchers name freezing that should work with titanium. I watched a video review and using other android TV launchers, works just fine.

use Magisk Manager to install Magisk, the box is already rooted so this can work.
