I uninstalled just a handful of your list and there's a major battery drain.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Hi, thanks for reporting. Can you list those apps you uninstalled please ?
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Newest updated list has solved the problem, you can try now applying this preset
[General Topics] Furious Froyo:
It's my mistake. I uninstalled apps that should've been disabled.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Good to know that, an i still know what app caused that battery drain ?
[General Topics] marios199546:
You can try uninstalling DiagMonAgent. There are some error messages about logging in logcat but i dont notice any battery drair or bug
[General Topics] Furious Froyo:
I created a T-Mobile variant script to uninstall and/or disable the bloat. However, this script is personalized, and it also uninstalls the default browser (Chrome and Samsung Internet), Samsung Calendar, Samsung Messages, and the Samsung Dialer. I think Google does better when it comes to those, with the exception of using Bromite for my browser.

If you want to leave them alone, then delete the following lines from the script.

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.chrome
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.contacts
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.samsung.android.calendar
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.samsung.android.dialer
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.sec.android.app.sbrowser

You'll need to change the TXT extension to BAT.

I added a few more lines of bloat to be removed. FYI - I use this to uninstall/disable on my daily driver and haven't run into an issue. However, I don't use near as many options and menus as most other folks.

No i do not use App Control. I just liked ur post. Amazing. U debloated so much apps. I am trying to learn about apps i did not debloat. List on web are not enough. They give %50 info. Following ur topic better then that list.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
##### LAST EDITED: 01-02-2021 ##### EXTREME PRESET V.1.1

- Deleted SCPM (causes lags)

This is the EXTREME preset, the most extreme debloating possible.

We're now at:

- 313 Deleted apps

- 2 Disabled apps (uninstalling these will break features).

- 97 Kept system apps

REVIEW APPS BEFORE APPLYING PRESETS

APPLY ALL 3 OF THE NEW PRESETS

REBOOT INTO RECOVERY, CLEAR CACHE PARTITION 3 TIMES, THEN REPAIR APPS.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
There's a feature in Samsung phones that detects when system is corrupted or faulty. After 313 apps removed, i still don't seem to encounter this error.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Confirm you still got it at 60hz minimal.

Also, i turned back on 120hz, i just disable adaptive refresh rate whenever I'm out of the house and turn it back on when I'm home.

- adb shell settings put system peak_refresh_rate 120.0 #sets high limit to 120Hz

- adb shell settings put system min_refresh_rate 60.0 #sets low limit to 60Hz.
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
##### LAST EDITED: 01-02-2021 ##### MAX PRESET V1

This is the MAX preset, the most extreme debloating possible. You can set this as your baseline, then add apps for the features you need.

We're now at:

- 314 Deleted apps

- 2 Disabled apps (uninstalling these will break features).

- 96 Kept system apps

[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
I'll advise you to check the whole thread, there are some apps descriptions, especially at new updates. Otherwise, you can just apply the newest preset (don't worry, your phone won't stop working, we're all applying it myself included) and test with time if you need a certain feature, just ask for the apps responsible for it and we'll all try to answer you since each one of us uses different features.

I accidentally disabled the clock on the lock screen and can't activate it in settings. What package is responsible for this?
[General Topics] NozGojira:
Hamid you should not put this on deleted file. As me long time ago i experienced when i deleted this file i haven't grant some access on important folder. I think this is related on main folder that we're using
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
AOD, always on display. Just enable that in Appcontrol and you're good to go. Reboot after enabling it of course
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
Please, explain to me what problem deleting this app causes ?
[General Topics] marios199546:
It's AOSP file picker. It's not running in the background. Honestly there is no reason to remove this
[General Topics] halilb1978:
Btw u can remove any apps which has "calendar" in the name.breaks nothing.i never liked android calendars.Microsoft todo enough. U can remove any app which has "file" in the name. I installed material files app and removed my files app. I lost access to device storage from device care app and lost trash folder. Also removed gallery app. No gallery but no bad effect. Also u can remove com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts if u do not use google for contacts. Other 2 contacts apps enough for samsung. U can remove com.samsung.android.allshare.service.fileshare sharing features works. If u make Signal as default messenger app u can remove all apps which has "messaging" in the name. I removed nfc. If u do not use no bad effects.
[General Topics] docson:
(nvm)
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
But did you find any vital circumstance where you need it ?
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
I set the power mode to "High", still great battery. It even makes the phone charge faster, or is just placebo effect ?
[General Topics] Hamid Chikh:
You guys should stay tuned in CheckFirm App, it seems like the next update will be OneUI 4.1 directly at the launch of the S22 series.
[General Topics] marios199546:

After debloat I can't connect with VPN , VPN profile can't be created

i have a53 5g device and google play services running background always, i tried everything like bluetooth, wifi, ok google, gps , reset device but problem continue, could anyone suggest me other fix ?
[General Topics] blackhawk:
Temporarily disable G Play Services when not needed.

Turn off Google Firebase and feedback.

Disable Google backup Transport if not used.
[General Topics] caingatcarl:
How do i disable GPlayServices? By some sort of an app?
[General Topics] blackhawk:
System app.

Turn off Find my Device as system Administrator in security first if the disable button is greyed out for Google play Services.
[General Topics] caingatcarl:
I've managed to disable GPServices. How about the other 2? Also what are the cons when they are disabled or turned off? Thanks
[General Topics] blackhawk:
Firebase is buried in Google settings on the phone. It's an indexing service I think.

Backup Transport is how Google backs up your data, if you need this don't disable it. However it probably won't run if Google play Services is disabled but will still use resources.

To fully kill it you'll need to use a adb edit or Package Disabler. If you use it for backup you'll need to develop a new backup plan.

There are consequences to disabling these services if you rely on them. Dependencies of Google play Services include Playstore, Gmail, for some Gmaps services, Google backup, probably voice assistant, potentially other Google services and some 3rd party apps. I enable it as needed.

There's a learning curve here... it's second nature to me now. At first it won't be though.
[General Topics] caingatcarl:
Oh okay. I've changed my mind and re enable it again. It's true that i cant use those google apps. Guess I'll just restrict the GPS from using my data whenever not in use via Netguard
[General Topics] blackhawk:
That doesn't keep it from using battery which is most of the reason to disable it.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
Try temporarily disabling Google play Services overnight and see if it does much...
[General Topics] caingatcarl:
i guess for me it's best to disable when gaming or not using G apps like YT or Gmail, social media apps seems to work without GPS
[General Topics] caingatcarl:
My battery doesn't have draining issues. I recently test my phone without charging overnight for 5hrs to 6hrs and i got 2% - 3% decreased from the battery. I'll try this experiment to see what happens
[General Topics] Kaddy2727:
Hey guys is the 96hz Adaptive refresh rate still working ?

I tried Galaxy Max Hz App , whenever I choose 96hz with adaptive it goes down to 60hz.

It used to work than suddenly stopped , I'm only able to use 96hz static ( S21 Plus )
[General Topics] InfamousMykol:
There is some system package related to VPN? Cause NetGuard could'nt start VPN
[General Topics] caingatcarl:
Not working anymore. I'm also using the 96hz static. I recommend using the 120hz adaptive whenever you watch videos instead of static 96hz
[General Topics] blackhawk:
60 hz saves a lot of battery...
[General Topics] loveleeyoungae:
Some settings have default "null" value on my device (Note10), such as

adb shell settings get global app_restriction_enabled

So if I set the value as suggested in the OP, would it make the same effect or it just wouldn't have any effect?
[General Topics] caingatcarl:
Yes i agree since adaptive 96hz is not working anymore. For me adaptive 120hz is what i prefer for smoothness of scrolling. Also when watching videos, hz can go as low as 24hz depends of what minimum hz is supported of what you are watching
[General Topics] caingatcarl:
restore com.android.vpndialogs
[General Topics] Kaddy2727:
Thanks for your reply,

I just returned it back to adaptive 120hz

With a forced minimum value of 48hz on the S21 Plus using Galaxy Max hz

From 120hz to 48hz, battery life got improved little bit.
[General Topics] JRDGDA:
Please.

After removing the APPS from the list, the SAMSUNG KEYBOARD application (com.samsung.android.honeyboard) is giving an error (the app has stopped working) when I try to configure it.

Does the 'com.samsung.android.honeyboard' package depend on another "service" (removed) to work normally?

Thanks.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
The Samsung keyboard is a crazy busy, complicated app... and is dependent on many different services and apks. You can't go blindly disabling apks like a bull in a china shop and not get cut.

A lot of those new Samsung system apks that appeared in Android 10 are needed for the UI to function properly. There dozens, hundreds of them.

[General Topics] JRDGDA:
Unfortunately it didn't work. In the settings, 'Battery and device care', the 'Storage' option is also giving the same error.
[General Topics] rodken:
Unfortunately, your device has fallen within the category of 'in dire need of a factory reset'.

-- There are several apps that use each other's data and there are several app domains who use each other's internal or shared database so these misbehaviors are common when a system app gets completely removed.

-- As a rule of thumb, if you're disabling or force stopping apps that aren't critical to the phone's basic functionality, then you'll encounter zero problems.

-- By the same token, be careful about disabling certain system apps or even core system apps. For example, disabling your Google Play Games will cause you problems if you game a lot and are logged into your games with your Google account. Most likely, game will crash, or will ask you to install Google Play Games, because it can't detect it in its disabled state.

-- Some would argue that - you can force stop every applications but you can not disable every app [YMMV].

-- Some other system apps, that are dependent with the keyboard(s), if you choose to disable them or force stop them is a no-no. Bear in mind - some folks do this when they want to replace a system app with one from the Play Store - usually not recommended.

-- In the event that you are feeling 'bullish' towards future endeavors of disabling system app(s) - check this.

N.B.: [Not to beat a dead horse] It is usually not customary to completely remove any system application as the device will respond similar to a 'deer in headlights' - disabling system app(s) is a safer approach considering your device doesn't have a TWRP backup to restore the entire device.

Enough rambling....
[General Topics] JRDGDA:
Thanks. For now I will continue looking for a solution without having to perform a factory restore.
[General Topics] AndroidWars:
Solution restore all apps again and use my preset debloat then reboot. It will work.
[General Topics] rodken:
DEL
[General Topics] blackhawk:
That's a mess and it's going to cause trouble. For instance why disable "com.android.storagemanager"?

It's a legacy 108kb apk that stores no data and just sits there unless needed. Why kill dictionary?

Target what you disable by:

Excessive battery or bandwidth use with no useful purpose for you that makes it worthwhile.

If you see an app you don't use and it getting in your face, like Digital Wellbeing.

Security risk like wifi, fb, etc.

Regardless know what the apk does and its dependencies if any. There's a big learning curve here and if choose to ignore it you'll have ongoing operational problems with little or no tangible net gains.

A factory reset teaches you nothing. No permanent damage was done to that load provided you can restore the proper settings.

Fun times...🤣

Good morning, I have a question about AOSP Q bloatwares

com.android.theme.color.dark, com.android.theme.color.green, com.android.theme.color.ocean, com.android.theme.color.orchid, com.android.theme.color.purple, com.android.theme.color.space, com.android.theme.font.notserifsource

I used the present (It even helped me a lot thanks) and I noticed that there wasn't this bloatware that I mentioned above, if I remember correctly in the one ui 2.1 core that I used it had the functions but it didn't change anything and these apps continued on the one ui 3.1 core that I use at this moment, well this is my doubt about it there.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
There's absolutely no point in striping out themes, etc.

They just sit there.

Even when one is set and running it uses very little resources.

All of these optimizations work great. Yesterday I got 10h of SoT with my A75, even though I was idling a game most of the time. Does anyone have problems with "Find my mobile" though?

Hello,

i think its Off Topic.. but i have called with an Samsung Guy because my batter is draining so much with my S22 Ultra. He have found out that a service called IMS Service draind my battery.. in App Info i have here an value from 12% used since last full recharge, and i think thats why i can see this service kill my battery.. is this service necessary? i don't want to make calls via LTE etc..

thanks for help :)
[General Topics] rodken:
IMS is a general-purpose, open industry standard for voice and multimedia communications over packet-based IP networks. It is a core network technology, that can serve as a low-level foundation for technologies like Voice over IP (VoIP), Push-To-Talk (PTT), Push-To-View, Video Calling, and Video Sharing.

Arguably, IMS suppose to be a good thing. It is required for SIP over 4G, which is digital voice, or VOLTE. Conventional voice calls are made over 4G but fall back to 3G for the voice component. To create greater bandwidth for digital protocols, with 3G pretty much eliminated for use in cellular telephone, and might be reserved for low-bandwidth, legacy IoT communication in critical applications such as security, medical, seismic, mining, remote control, and emergency alert, including 911, 311, 988 services.

​

Sometime this year - if not already, no cellular device lacking IMS will register on any US nationwide carrier network. Some countries are now forcing devices to have IMS.

N.B.: Even though it's not a Samsung property - I do not recommend removing/disabling this.
[General Topics] mcdotcom:

The built-in battery usage feature in Android leaves much to be desired, you might want to consider a 3rd party application that's somewhat intuitive e.g., Battery Guru, GSam Battery Monitor, etc. that will determine battery usage/drainage.

[General Topics] mcdotcom:
Hello,

i have now installed Battery Guru with with adb permissions. i hope i figured out what drains my battery down. I know when I play genshin impact or other games then the battery consumption is very high, that is also self-evident but when I surf for example with firefox the consumption is also very high. Can it be that the DNS server eats a lot of battery? thank you so much for advice!
[General Topics] rodken:
Theoretically, DNS uses battery due to its coding of sending and receiving a few packets in addition to, but limited to uses of marginal CPU cycles, it shouldn't extraordinarily drain your battery regardless of how you utilize it.

Bear in mind that secure DNS servers requires slightly more overhead in terms of computing time to block malicious or prohibit certain websites as part of its DNS filtering service.

DNS, in some retrospect, can save increment of battery juice because it blocks a lot of unnecessary traffic - which is dependent on how many 3rd party apps installed on a given device talking back and forth/pinging to various servers.
