[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Guides, News, & Discus] geocy:
Just purchased this phone recently and was surprised with all the bloat and how quickly the battery drains on moderate usage even though it is equipped with a large battery. Lineageos has me spoiled on my old device with minimal apps that aren't always running in the background slowing down my device and I wanted the same for my new Galaxy Note 10 Lite.

Credit for this thread goes to Chris Titus Tech, a Youtuber who published a video titled "Speed Up any Android Phone or Tablet" and talks about the android tool ADB. You must see that video first and then come back to this thread. It really works. My phone is indeed faster, battery lasts longer and I was able to recover approx 3GB of space. While his video was done with a rooted phone....you can still use ADB without root and the best part is OTA STILL WORKS as I just received Samsungs November 2020 Security Updates. I don't feel the need to root my phone and the device now runs so smooth.

While the video was helpful...it didn't explain which apps can be uninstalled for my specific device. I then searched XDA Samsung forums and came across a list of packages that are installed on our phones that can safely be uninstalled from the user. It really feels more zippy so I am sharing my findings with you guys and will update the list below if I come across more bloat. I left Knox and Bixby alone and just wanted to focus on apps that are not used by me. AGAIN, if you want to do this then you have to watch the youtube video mentioned above. Follow the steps he lays out to setup everything.

I do not use these apps and removing them does nothing bad to your phone! If you use these apps...dont uninstall! Below is what I uninstalled and disabled and the commands that I used for this specific phone.

Here we go...

Open up terminal and type "adb devices" and hit enter.

Now copy and paste the commands below for the apps you do not want.
