But bro there s a lot and I mean I LOT of essential things in the delete preset
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Feel free to keep when you need

Hi,

how uninstal Samsung O please ? I don't find it into the list

Thanks
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
You can look it up on the the list in the Appcontrol, select it and add it to the preset.
[General Topics] actupsp:
many thanks ;)
[General Topics] kingrohan:
Thats good to know, but does it work with wqhd+ or with fhd+ only..???

"Go to settings, apps. Look for each of "Google Play Store", "Google Services Framework" & "Google Play Services""

If I remember right, clearing DATA/Cache of one of these actually deletes your google accounts. Anyone remember which it is?
[General Topics] :
If i execute this command here: adb shell settings put system multicore_packet_scheduler 1 default

I get the following message back from the system: Ignored makeDefault - doesn't apply to system settings

Is this correct or normal? Or is the command wrong?

And after a Reboot: must execute all adb commands again or are the saved?
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
None of these apps will remove your account, you'll just get a prompt to select your account after wiping data.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
I just canceled those ADB commands, they're not compatible with all devices.

Refresh rate command stays after reboot, you won't have to enter it again, RAM plus will reset after reboot.
[General Topics] nope.:
Reinstall externalstorage.
[General Topics] skovv:
nope.

I used your presets, I see an improvement in the battery, I will add that dual SIM works, but I have a problem with the external memory, when I connect the USB cable to the computer, it does not see my phone, I will add that I have installed: com.android.mtp, com.samsung.android. mtp, com.android.externalstorage
[General Topics] trevzv:
nope.

Used your presets, but I need to use the translation tools and they are not available, what can I do?
[General Topics] nope.:
Thanks. It could be sharedstoragebackup or providers.media.

callassistant, accessibility.scribe, interpreter, and maybe SMT and SMT.lang*.
[General Topics] nope.:
I'll include all of my findings in the eventual repo but for now something interesting I've been testing:

1. After a clean reset (Wi-Fi and SIM disconnected)

Enable Airplane mode

ADB install your VPN APK.

Enable Wi-Fi and set up the VPN with killswitch; connect to the USA.

Clear app data from Play Store and Galaxy Store.

2. Now do all your system/app updates.

3. Install all your apps that you'll be using initially (including Good Lock and Good Guardian).

4. Disable Play/Galaxy Store auto-updates.

5. Disable Play Store.

6. Restart and continue with/without VPN.

7. Now debloat.

Only update apps using the same Airplane mode + VPN steps.

All your apps should have more modern RROs and features without affecting your country's data privacy laws.
[General Topics] skovv:
Thanks, do you have any other ideas, unfortunately I still can't see the drive on my computer, unless I should turn my phone off and on again?
[General Topics] blackhawk:
Before you disable anything you should know what does and any dependancies if possible.

If you blindly load a list you'll likely have issues.

Each user is unique... your list should be too.

Don't disable apks that can be effectively dealt with in other ways like in their settings.

Don't disable small system apps that use near zero battery and only run when needed.

Look over Running Apps in Developer options too, and also what's cache.

Use Rethink firewall to get an idea what's playing around, constantly connecting and spiking the milliamp drain.
[General Topics] nope.:
They clearly know what they're doing since they re-enabled both MTP packages without being told to. It's like that though? You sure you want to volunteer to be next?

Go take a look at qcc and tell me what happens to the running process when the package is disabled. Since you think settings are sufficient to deal with it lol.

But yes, always restart both devices after re/debloating.
[General Topics] skovv:
I am aware of the consequences, but I thought that maybe there was another package that I might have disabled or uninstalled.

I can handle it, that's how it works based on trial and error etc

Eventually I am able to upload the files using ADB App Control
[General Topics] skiku:
Hi,

What are your thoughts on Ram+? Should it stay on or off? Does it affect general performance, like frame drops?

I already have 12gb of ram but if I turn it off, I notice that some notifications have some delay. Can't figure out why that happens, even with battery optimizations turned off for the apps. When I turn ram+ on, everything is fine.

I know this topic was already debated alot but there's always arguments for either on or off and I want to hear from someone with some knowledge.

Thank you
[General Topics] nope.:
Did it work after a restart? Need to make a note if anything is actually causing this. If it worked, you can probably re-disable some of those packages I mentioned and start with enabling MTP host/application only.

RAM Plus should stay enabled. Unused RAM is wasted RAM.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
With 12gb of ram I doubt it's needed. With 8gb it might help. Try it both ways for a while. Monitor speed and SOT. Seems hard to believe though it make any improvement on a fast 12gb phone.

I don't have it but with 12gb of ram I simply never run out of ram no matter what I do.

Personally I wouldn't want it dipping into internal storage for bandwidth reasons and wear/tear on the cells. Not sure if the former is valid, wouldn't want to find out.
[General Topics] nope.:
Not going to see much change on 12 GB, but if disabling it is causing other perceived issues, e.g. delayed notifications, then it's going to be the option that isn't giving issues.
[General Topics] skovv:
Unfortunately, it didn't help - when I find some time, I will look for a solution
[General Topics] Jirka001:
Hello, I need advice on the contacts app, after deleting system apps, I can't open them. Thank you for your help
[General Topics] blackhawk:
Post a copy of what's disabled. Maybe someone can spot it.
[General Topics] nope.:
Somebody previously reported that Contacts has issues without Samsung Cloud installed, depending on how you imported them. `Google Contacts Sync` is better and less invasive without dependencies.

Agreed with blackhawk, post the preset there isn't a whole lot that could affect USB transfer.
[General Topics] skovv:
thanks - I am sending my presets

I'm starting to suspect Windows

Because the message is often displayed:

The last USB device connected to this computer does not work properly and Windows does not recognize it.

I have the same message on the other computer

This must have happened at the same time as I used the presets.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
That's a real lot. Some I wouldn't have touch, others not sure. It will cause issues as such.

How much did it increase your SOT time?

In Windows go to Event Viewer and see what error messages it's pulling at that time index.

Can the phone connect to flashsticks, wired headphones etc?
[General Topics] nope.:
It all looks fine.

Sort of a basic question, but are you hitting "Allow" on your phone when you connect the USB so that the laptop recognizes the device?
[General Topics] nope.:
Which ones?
[General Topics] blackhawk:
Smaller system apps that never run unless needed. Some I've never seen. I blocked about 70 on my N10+'s. Even though there's close to a hundred new Samsung system apps in Android 10 vs 9, my block list is near identical in both. The Android 9 gets slightly better SOT.
[General Topics] Jirka001:
Thank you, but it didn't help, I'll keep trying.
[General Topics] trevzv:
Which browser are you using?
[General Topics] nope.:
I mean in their preset, which ones?

I know debloating has come a long way and is not nearly as necessary as before as far as PRE-INSTALLED BLOAT, but there are still way too many running processes by default.

I've posted many screenshots in past pages, the RAM usage difference default vs. debloated is a 1 GB difference under stress.

Try reinstalling Samsung Cloud Assistant and Samsung Core Services too.

Brave Nightly as default for intents/app link opening.

Firefox Focus for actual browsing.
[General Topics] nope.:
Actually, just post your preset.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
This isn't my most current but fairly close.

This is from my Android 9 N10+. Other than the AT&T and various other 3rd party bloatware this is close to how my unlocked Android 10 N10+ is configured.

Some of my changes are in settings and how I use it. Like I said it's got a learning curve.

To get best results you really need to spend time doing this, looking up individual apps and playing in the muck.

A ladb app make it easier to do edits or undo them. To experiment with. I don't have that option as I'm running Android 9 and 10. Been using Package Disabler but I no longer recommend it. Android 10 and higher also made a real mess of things.
[General Topics] nope.:
Looks good, curious to see what your enabled system apps look like on Android 9. I started on Android 4.1. 💀

e: I'll say it might be better on your battery to uninstall some of those rather than keeping them disabled.

I speak pretty generally in this thread because I see most people using S22/S23 anyway. We got one person still using S10, that was a good device. I never tried the N10+, I did get the N4 exclusively because of how much better S-Calendar was than the non-S-Pen calendar.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
They don't run at start up. Package Disabler doesn't allow for uninstalls of apps that normally can't be. It's more limited but almost never crashes the phone compared to adb edits.

You probably love the N10+, even today it's a running machine. If you got one with Android 9 or 10 you appreciate it. Security is not issue at an all.

Most of the troublemakers are still the same. Most of the Samsung system apps go back a decade or more, many are listed as 2008🤣

The cloud and cloud backup apps are huge offenders. No cloud nothing on my N10's; all hard backup to the onboard 1tb SD card then to external backup drives.

The Samsung rubin app is one I overlooked. I have Customization turn off but not sure that's enough. I don't like AI very much.
[General Topics] nope.:
N10+ specs look great, I missed a bunch of generations because my S10 lasted forever. Happy with the S23 with Gen 2.

Yeah I wouldn't recommend an app that requires device owner/admin to disable packages.

I don't think debloating is that cryptic once you stop trial and erroring and actually read up on package documentation/source code (not reddit posts). I do maybe 1 day's run-through to find which packages bootloop and then I'm good to go from there. Everything else can be undone without a factory reset.

Even with all the USB stuff disabled/uninstalled, USB debugging will always connect to ADB. If it doesn't, it's a hardware issue and not related to debloating.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
The problem is finding which apk(s) you disabled caused something not to function properly. It may be days, weeks, months until you notice it. Even after years I'm still finding functions I never knew were there when playing around with the device.

Disable you'll never see them unless you know to look for them, there are simply too many.

Why would someone disable the Easter Egg? It uses zero battery and no resources unless running and even then virtually nothing. Yet it's on most the lists. Although it serves no real function, it's amusing. How many useful functions were also inadvertently removed?

So I target power hogs first by settings and only after that fails more drastic measures. Ones that serve no purpose are the ones that get straight out blocked, like digital wellbeing, emergency services is another I loathe and amber alerts.

I've read disabling com.samsung.android.kgclient, will lock the phone. Not sure. Just don't go too nutz.
[General Topics] nope.:
Yeah I personally don't think it takes too long to figure them all out.

kgclient is the payment service part of Knox Guard, the phone will not function without it unless you root and edit system files.

Debloating for better battery is secondary to better security/privacy.

You uninstall something like Easter Egg because there is no reason for it to have permissions that Android categorizes as Dangerous:

android.permission.BIND_CONTROLS

android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS

android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

android.permission.SUBSTITUTE_NOTIFICATION_APP_NAME

android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS

com.android.egg.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION

Packages that bootloop the S23:

com.google.android.ext.services

android

com.google.android.overlay.gmsconfig.*

com.google.android.sdksandbox

com.samsung.android.kgclient

com.android.location.fused

com.google.android.modulemetadata

com.google.android.networkstack

com.samsung.android.networkstack

com.google.android.connectivity.resources

com.android.wifi.resources

There may be others that I haven't come across because of the impracticality of removing core functionality.

com.samsung.euicc

eUICC (embedded UICC[1]) refers to the architectural standards published by the GSM Association (GSMA)[2][3] or implementations of those standard for eSIM, a device used to securely store one or more SIM card profiles, which are the unique identifiers and cryptographic keys used by cellular network service providers to uniquely identify and securely connect to mobile network devices.

Thank you so much
[General Topics] cigan666:
Any ETA on the repo yet?

Tried out your presets and everything is working flawlessly so far, looking forward to seeing the other optimizations you did when the github link comes out, thanks!
[General Topics] nope.:
Maybe today. I've been resetting my phone too much testing stuff out.

Package description list and routines will be missing for now, but tweaks will be done.

Whatever that USB issue is you two are having, you're going to have to provide more information. It doesn't seem to be debloat related.
[General Topics] DATK444:
where are the preset downloads, I'm just finding the update logs
[General Topics] :
If i understand your Answer right, is the Output Ignored makeDefault - doesn't apply to system settings normal and correct.

I have reboot my S22 Ultra and RAM Plus shows me that it use 0 GB of RAM.

@hamid Have you noticed that even after putting android system under resticted battery, after some time it automatically reverts to optimised one!!
[General Topics] Compusmurf:
like that person.

I got this:

"If i execute this command here: adb shell settings put system multicore_packet_scheduler 1 default

I get the following message back from the system: Ignored makeDefault - doesn't apply to system settings"

Do I have to UNDO something or did it fail and make no changes?
[General Topics] :
I don't know what you mean with "undo something"? Und i don't know if it make some changes or not and what this message means. i have execute the command and get the message from the system back as you can read. that's all. I'm very confused at the moment.
[General Topics] Compusmurf:
Question wasn't really for you, you are the other person. :) I am trying to find out if it made some change that maybe we should undo.

3- Eliminate GMS battery drain​

Go to settings, apps. Look for each of "Google Play Store", "Google Services Framework" & "Google Play Services"

- Clear data & cache

- Uninstall Updates

- Clear data & cache again

- Force Stop

- Reboot, then let them update and setup.

- Set all above apps to "restricted" battery mode under app info.

i cannot set google play services to restricted battery mode under app info its greyed out
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
It will reset to its original state after sometime, i took it down from OP for now, till i find the concrete way to disable it.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Yes it reappears, i couldn't find the correct way to disable it so just let it be for now.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Yes it does, but with all the optimisations we've done, it's no longer necessary. That option is there for people that don't have the courage to go thru all the other steps.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
You don't have to undo anything, it's ignored and not applicable to all systems. I took it down for now, going through the other steps will suffice for now. Thank you
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
It was ignored, and didn't do anything to your system. Skip it for now, until further notice.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Nope, nothing to undo.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Yes, you can't set it to restricted, but that's okay, just skip that.

##### 10-03-2021 ##### MARCH PRESET C6

Changes since last preset update:

- Deleted Samsung Phone app and its dependencies (5) (Switched to Google Phone App)

- Fixed Overheating issues after February update (did what i can but it's a Samsung issue)

- Managed some apps.

- Updated naming scheme to month and revision (like Samsung firmwares)

Waiting for your feedback

Deleted: 322

Kept: 91

Disabled: 2

*REVIEW APPS BEFORE APPLYING PRESETS

*APPLY ALL 3 OF THE NEW PRESETS

*REBOOT INTO RECOVERY, CLEAR CACHE PARTITION 3 TIMES, THEN REPAIR APPS.

Dear Hamid,

Please note when I apply this new preset and restore all apps with ims and sim in name as advised (I am using phisical sim and esin same time) I cannot open Sim card manager, Settings keep stopping. What else should I restore
[General Topics] rhodnie:
Thank you
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Hi, thanks for reporting the issue.

I personally never faced this issue, manager seems to work fine for me. Did you reboot and done the usual optimisations after applying the preset ?

Is it only after latest preset update ?

Did you try restoring "kept" preset ?

Can you try restoring "kept from last update (S3)
[General Topics] chrisQQ90:
yes i applied last preset I have all kept and even more (sim and ims apks)

I have restored KeptS2 and its working now, which app could it be?
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
I don't know how, and why, but setting refresh rate to 96-96 non adaptive decreased heat. Still testing
[General Topics] Lurien:
Kind of makes sense. There seems to be something off with the adaptive scaling on this device.
[General Topics] Ivixmax:
how is the battery life with this setting?
[General Topics] chrisQQ90:
its only after last preset update this is different between s2, i dont have s3
[General Topics] NozGojira:
What is the best refresh rate you using now guys? Max and min
[General Topics] Michael root:
hello, how about since the last 2 scripts my phone starts to heat up for no reason I clarify that I have always been Android 11 and I have never updated, what is the reason for this overheating for no reason
[General Topics] bamn:
So I've use this for my s22, happy with the results on performance, battery life to early to say.

Deleted most of the apps suggested here.

Only issue I have is that I would like to use 3 button navbar instead of gestures, but enabling this doesn't work and settings sometimes force close.

Any ideas what to re-enable to get these working?
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Seems great actually, thinking of disabling the "adaptive" and just going with either 120 or 60.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
I thought so, especially with all the dropped frames. For us here in the thread, it's never been a problem with our debloating process, but people do suffer from it over on reddit.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
No idea, can you check for us please ?
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Might be one of Samsung Phone app dependencies
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
I test a lot of configurations to see what's best for battery, tried 96-96 and it seems cool for now, 48-120 isn't recommended for january update, 96 as high limit feels like a sweet spot for smoothness/battery ratio. Feel free to test yours and come back with feedback.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Yes we already talked about that, it's not the preset, it's february update that causes that. Actually, the last 2 presets try to diminish that heating issue caused by samsung. There's nothing we can do besides wait for an update.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Yes, we deleted the services responsible for it. You can easily restore it using Appcontrol in the "deleted" tab, look for 3 button navigation bar or "com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.threebutton" then restart
[General Topics] Michael root:
yes exactly for those who are android 12, as I said I am android 11 and never updated
[General Topics] bamn:
That makes sense, missed that one probably as it was on the top :p
[General Topics] skiku:
BTW guys, what do you recomend, adaptive or high performance? Im trying to figure it out myself but any feedback is apreciated. So far its seem they use the same battery. Im using S22+ exynos
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
You should update first. Also, we deleted GOS, which throttles games to avoid heat, so it might also be that. I don't recommend restoring GOS, there's a big controversy happening for Samsung to remove it.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
What's adaptive and high performance ?
[General Topics] skiku:
Sorry, it's optimized or high
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Mine is set to high, Optimised throttles too much and causes drop frames and slow downs.

With all the optimisations in OP, i can confidently use my phone normally with 120hz and high performance mode.
