Hey everyone im new to this and trying to figure out out to type it in. I followed the directions as far as the watch goes. I put in adb connect (ip address) adb shell and hit enter it says adb: usage: adb connect <host>[:<port>] and I enter the command and it says

'pm' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file. what am I doing wrong? I am using adb minimal and fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] :
lol if you go in dev options does it also have oem unlock? i dont have this watch
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Homeboy_Ohmboy:
My apologies ahead of time for the newbie question, what program do you use to connect your computer and watts together? Or does anyone have a link to a video on how to do this?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] mullepol:
This thread explains it very well: https://xdaforums.com/t/watch4-adb-...restore-system-app-install-pull-apps.4324063/
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Homeboy_Ohmboy:
Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
I developed a Tasker Task that automates the process so you don't have input each command one at a time or look up package names..

HOW IT WORKS: It'll bring up a list of all your apps, including system apps. Select as many apps as you want and hit enter or next. You'll be prompted on whether or not to disable or uninstall them. The tool with then one by one uninstall/disable all your selected apps. Tasker ADB permission is required. Here's the link: TaskerNet Download Link

If you don't know what or how to use Tasker , probably easier just to do it manually.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] vyklouz:
Hello. First of all, thanks for guide, but after debloating I got problem with syncing data from shealth to phone. I'm using "info brick" watch face and I'm sure I'm not uninstalling it. Phone is rooted do I'm using older version of shealth. Any suggestion what can causes it? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Ron2224:
About debloating stock Samsung watchfaces, many of the package names match the human friendly name. Example: AR Emoji is com.samsung.android.watch.watchface.aremoji.

Here are the ones I disabled whose packages names weren't obvious:

Ball = com.samsung.android.watch.watchface.bespoke

Cute Character = com.samsung.android.watch.watchface.analoguefont

Friends = com.samsung.android.watch.watchface.superfiction

Steps Challenge = com.samsung.android.watch.watchface.together

One way I found to try to do this matchup was searching for the package name at the APK Mirror website (https://www.apkmirror.com/). If the package was there, it showed a sample image of the watchface (Ball wasn't there, though)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
Did you disable or uninstall Health Services or Health Platform? Also did you configure Health Platform on your phone AND watch to be used with Samsung Health? You have to manually give it permissions on both.

If you're using an older version it may not be compatible with Health Platform which is Samsung's service to sync health data across devices and other apps
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] vyklouz:
Hello, thanks for reply. No i didn't uninstall or disable any health services or platform on both devices. I reset watch and now it's workong propertly, so i try disable app by app and will see. Anyway thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Genebaby:
Hey guys, just got the GW4 and I had previously debloated my Fossil, but it was old and no more updates were coming through. Is it safe to remove things like the Samsung Health and still get updates in the future?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] LaurenceGough:
Is there any battery life benefit of doing the debloat?

I am struggling to find out what causes such terrible battery life on this watch vs it's Tizen brethren that outlasted this with smaller batteries.

WearOS 3 was such a lie, "longer battery life", yeah sure.....
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] icsterm:
A new update was pushed today, anybody can tell if debloating is needed again?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] ǀcey:
Thank you!

After debloating with all of your adb commands, I sideloaded /https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tvkdevelopment.nobloatfree

It does run and work on the watch. It shows a root view of what else can be uninstalled or disabled.

If it causes your screen to go black, swipe back should reveal the menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] dazzler1968:
When I enable Developer options and go into it I only have 2 options - 1 for pixels on screen and the other to turn developer mode off...I have no way to access ADb or anything else.....anyone got any ideas? TIA
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] adfree:
@dazzler1968​

Model Name?

SM-R860 ? Or something else?

Best Regards
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Finnit0:
Are there actually any noticeable improvements?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] :
Also same issue.

Have you solved it without restoring the device?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Bushido1992:
go into wearable app, watch settings, apps, app settings and then samsung pay. then you should setup it again, otherwise delete data first. this helped me. had the same issue (had a encryptionkey error or something)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] gecko702:
It only shows the app information, I tap on storage and even memory and nothing happens, and its on the wearable options, i deleted data, but it was on phone, and same thing happens
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] 73sydney:
Why do people still refuse to use the Search This Thread option and type in the word "reinstall"

It takes literally no effort....

New Google package arrived today under Apps On My Watch:

Google Contacts

So now you can have either the Samsung or Google contacts or both

Im sure im not alone in thinking porting Gmail would have been a better use of their time
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] drzeller:
Different teams, I'm sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Tim-2.0:
What was the verdict on this mate? I have been wondering the same. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] JediMasterASD:
You are still able to use voice. Though I have sense reset my watch back to stock and just uninstalled the apps I didn't want the official way and it runs just fine. No need to jump through these hoops honestly. Love the watch
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] UlyssesFiuza:
What is the name of that watchface that is a striped ball? I'm not finding the right name.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] demetry14:
So many people asking what else can be debloated, you can search for yourself.

To list every package:

pm list packages

If you see anything of interest or want to use keywords, type:

pm list packages | grep 'KEYWORD'

If you uninstall a package and have an adverse effect:

cmd package install-existing PACKAGE_NAME
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] C3R741N:
Ok possibly a silly question but is android.messaging the google app or the samsung app? I only want to remove the google messaging app.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] C3R741N:
Thank you but wait what's the correct package name? is it: com.google.android.messaging ?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] C3R741N:
Many thanks! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] GerardoYJ87:
Hello everyone, I have exactly the same problem, any solution on this date?

thank you very much
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] GerardoYJ87:
I also tell you in more detail that at first it worked, but maybe after a reboot or something, days later I tried to uninstall other watchfaces and it stayed as described by Mamu2110

I just wanted to uninstall watchfaces that I didn't use, bixby and google messenger, don't touch anything else, I already factory reset by recovery, try to uninstall whatchface with bixby installed and even so there is a failure in the whatchface section in the wear of the galaxy application
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] AwkwardUberHero:
Working on debloating my GW 5 Pro, but the following items, I cannot find package names for now.

Stopwatch

Timer

Alarm

Contacts

Calendar

FindmyPhone

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] AwkwardUberHero:
I figured it out. I was reading in the wrong saved thread. Thanks though.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] riker73:
With the latest WearOS update, watchfaces can be removed from the "Favorites" collection (Galaxy wearable app) and only the favorite watchfaces are selectable on the watch now. Not sure if they get uninstalled, at least they're not visible anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] DeeZigneZ:
Anybody has an updated list , to debloat all Samsung related stuff, to have something like an pixel watch ?

Ofc without having bootloops or a none working watch in the end ?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] jonatank:
Any chance these steps also work for the new Samsung Watch5 Pro?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] 73sydney:
if you wanted a pixel watch, you'd buy a pixel watch...

you will never convert a Samsung Watch x to be as stripped down as that
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] DeeZigneZ:
I got most of the Samsung stuff off my watch and it's running great, only thing missing would be a Google calendar, and the system UI.. everything else is working fine.. ATM I'm not using the g assistant cuz they still didn't mange the high battery consumption.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] 73sydney:
I dont understand buying a Samsung Watch and removing *all* the Samsung software (limiting its usefulness)

I debloat some apps, but to try and remove all is bonkers

Nothing wrong with the assistant, you just turn off the "Hey Google" setting

Settings -> Google -> Assistant -> Hey Google (off)

Set it to launch from button via Settings -> Advanced Features -> Customize Buttons

OR

Thank you for this tutorial, Worked with no issue!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] gjw00:
how would I reinstall some of the above if i removed e.g. the weather app, some of the watch faces seem reliant on it... doh
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] 73sydney:
hint: look on page 3...theres only 7 pages in this thread....
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] gjw00:
Got it. Thanks. I just wasn't sure of the syntax. Using install-existing did the trick
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joefisch330:
Anyone know the package names for contacts and phone app?

I want to replace with the Google versions.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] ppurushu:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.contacts

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.dialer
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] fursie:
Is there a way to do this without a Windows PC? I only have a Chromebook and my android phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joefisch330:
Yes, there is and app that you can download and do ADB from your phone to your watch over wifi.

Remote ADB shell.

Simply download, connect to your watch by entering the IP and enter the commands accordingly.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] fursie:
I disabled the Samsung phone app and replaced it with the Google one but now I don't see the name of incoming callers just their number. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joefisch330:
Not sure. I haven't tested this yet. I'll test and let you know the outcome.

Maybe you need the contacts app as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] fursie:
I have the Google contacts app. What is the code to enable an app again?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joefisch330:
I don't recall but I'm sure you can find it in this thread, or with a Google search.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] fursie:
Yeah I am struggling with enabling the Samsung dialer and contacts apps. Seeing that I just disabled them rather than uninstalled I assume they are still there somewhere. Might have to resort to a factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] 73sydney:
Like i said to the last person to ask this, theres only 7 (now 8) pages of this thread, dont be lazy and expect to be spoonfed, im feeling generous, so ill point out the answer is between page 1 and 5 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] fursie:
Thanks. If it's there I can't find it. I had previously tried the pm install-existing (nameofpackage) command but this didn't work. I assume because I disabled it rather than uninstalled it. Looks like a factory reset it's the only option.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] 73sydney:
theres a link to this more helpful thread:

https://xdaforums.com/t/watch4-adb-...restore-system-app-install-pull-apps.4324063/

where you probably want to try:

pm enable --user 0 <package-name-to-enable>
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] jjack0310:
I am not able to go past the third step. I did adp connect to my ipaddress.

when I try to do adb shell is when I get error in the cmd prompt that says error: device unauthorized. This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR-KEYS is not set.

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] 73sydney:
Which OS are you using?, if Windows, you can try:

1) on device tap Revoke USB Debugging Authorisation under Developer Settings

2) unplug device

3) open File Explorer

4) navigate to c:\Users, then click on your username

5) delete the .android folder

6) reconnect device and look for and allow access on usb debugging prompt on device

Step 3,4,5 is same basic thing on every OS, delete the adbkey.* files
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] jjack0310:
I am using windows. Tried following the step but same issue.

I revoked USB debugging but I am connected over wi-fi so dont have a device to unplug (?)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Prashant87:
Thank you for the guide. I debloated most suggested apps but want to restore the 'info brick' watchface. Anyone knows what the package name is? Or what software to use find out myself? Thank you ❤️
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] mura20:
I have seen several users asking about the benefit of uninstalling these Samsung apps in terms of battery life. However, I could not find an answer for it.

What's the magnitude of improvement in battery life upon uninstalling/disabling these apps? Is it significant or the only benefit is to delete the apps to get more storage space?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] ppurushu:
Not only for the battery or space .... but apps removed which you do not use, Like i dont use Samsung contact app ... i use the google contact so no use in keeping S.contacts. So you can keep it clean ...... there is some improvement in the battery i have seen ... but not significant ...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] ppurushu:
I have google contact and google dialer .... i am able to see the names .... but with samsung dialer and contact i use to see the photo of the contacts also ... is there anything i am missing to enable or any setting??
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] rhizombie:
Hoping for some help: I'm connected to the same wifi network and I've enabled developer mode and wifi debugging but when I try to connect via adb I get this message: unable to connect : A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. (10060)

Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bingblop:
New app available: Gemini man Wear OS is great for automating the entire ADB process.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] lusayzam:
Wow... thanks so much for recommending this! PHENOMENAL. It loads the watch face icon for the high majority of faces, making it super easy. I'm so glad I read this whole thread before trying to execute, this program made it very fast and easy.

ADP APP CONTROL: https://adbappcontrol.com/en/

1. Enable developers mode: Watch Settings > About Watch > Software Info > "Software Version" 5Xs to turn on developer mode

2. Enabling ADB: Watch > Settings > Developer Options >

Enable ADB Debugging

Debug Over WiFI

Enable Wireless Debugging

3. Connect PC & Watch to same WiFi... then: Watch > Connections > WiFi Settings > Click the Network > Get IP Address: xxx.xxx.xx.xx

4. WATCH: Make sure none of the stock watchfaces are loaded

5. PC: ADB App Control > Top Right Corner > Type in IP > Hit Connect button (to right of IP)

WATCH: when prompted "Always Allow Connection"

7. PC: ADB App Control > Search "watchface" > Select them (see notes below before disabling) > Disable (bottom right) > Apply

[NOTE: May be dangerous to uninstall instead of disabling - may not be able to roll back]

[NOTE: May be dangerous to uninstall those with Green Droid]

[NOTE: The following MAY NOT BE OKAY DONT UNISTALL]:

Emergency Watch Face

Ticking Sound Setting

Watch Faces

[NOTE: The following are OK to uninstall, although they have a Green Droid instead of Watch Face Preview]:

Basic Dashboard

Big Number

Info Brick

Live Wallpaper

Weather Center

All other watch faces that have a Watch Face Preview Icon

6. WATCH: Don't forget to turn off the 3 ADB Settings on watch when you're done (but disabling ADB will probably disable WiFi and Connection)

I'm only able to disable these apps, not uninstall them. Believe root is needed for uninstalling system apps
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Bobbyshaw:
Got the Galaxy4 only few days back.

So I am just playing with it now.

I debloated all the apps from the enitire list but my steps counter and whole lot of useful stuff disappeared.

I have installed Dante's SHM mod and the SHM companion.

Is there a list somehwhere with descriptions of these bloatware which describes what each app does some of them you can understand from the name. ( I am searching for it meaanwhile)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] waterpolo:
What is the bennifed to disable all suggested bloatware? About 80% are watchfaces. Give this more battery lifetime?
