I usually use GeminiMan to debloat but 2 things prevent me from attempting this. Talk me off the cliff. I had a dog awful time getting my watch to pair with my Pixel 7 and activate LTE. The Verizon update in August prevented me from activation so I had to roll back to a previous version. Then the watch kept disconnecting telling me to factory reset or port to another phone. That happened about 5 times until it finally took and, so far, stayed connected. That's number one. When I go into debloat on the app there are warnings like system file don't delete and system "like" app be careful at your own risk.

So question is it possible with the above list that I'll crap out the watch again? I simply can't reset the watch again since it took many hours of cursing and fighting to finally get it working, but I'd love to get rid of that crap especially Bixby. TIA
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] mzsquared:
Thanks,

I copied the entire 'adb list packages' from GW6 into OpenOffice text sheet and went over it line by line looking for the obvious 'debloatable' apps, if I was in doubt w/ anything I'd double check it in web browser, Google or in a very helpful apps search on https://en.uptodown.com/ where one can search for specific app package names among many different app versions - so I was careful to avoid any system mistakes as I did once w/ my GW5. I kinda went max(on GW5) trying to slim down all the apps, especially watch faces, thinking "I don't need so much of 'em" and the watch became totally unresponsive, was worried it died.

I think the watch faces may share among them some common program scripts so it's easy to mess it up altogether - just my opinion, I'm not a programmer, the experts in this field will probably disagree. But I left all the watch faces intact, they don't do much in terms of watch extra activity e.g. battery drain etc...

My GW6 Clas. behaves normally w/o those de-bloated apps on this list.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] CCJ22:
OP thank you so much. This is exactly what I needed
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] bobby janow:
So I did jump in on this yesterday and deleted just a few apps to start. (forgot which exactly but I did make a debloat backup) The issue I had last night is that sleep tracking didn't register at all. Not skin temp, HR, O2 level et al. Do I need Bixby to have that working? That's two of the things I deleted bixby agent and wakeup. Is that what caused it or perhaps something else?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] mzsquared:
Sorry for the missing watch functions you've ran into, I don't use sleep tracking so, I was unaware of any consequences coming from uninstalling those apps. I was trying to trim some apps from the watch that I don't use, I'm considering those to be purely statistical numbers so I decided that I don't want losing my sleep over it(pun intended ;).

But I understand other ppl considerations when purchasing today's smart electronics and I use it as well, sometimes though, I'm trying to limit its overreach - again, just my personal thought.

Back to your concerns about de-bloat, It's very likely that Bixby is controlling those function that you've been missing from your watch, also, some of the 'sree' apps might be in play and if that's the case, you could re-install it back. There are 2 Bixby lines on that list so you could start with these two using this command line:

cmd package install-existing ["package name"]

then restart the watch. Just restart, no need for total reset.

Those "sree" apps have some sort of Samsung commercial functions, I'd think not having it is fine with sleep monitoring apps.

Sorry again for you trouble, hope that getting Bixby back in play will fix it for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] bobby janow:
Thanks man I'll let you know. I don't think I removed much else but I'll check later.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Seanie280672:
Be careful of removing watchfaces, some faces are tied into other parts, I didnt remove any of the faces, just all the samsung stuff, disable bixby, dont remove (code below), sleep tracking and O2 etc is working fine for me, ive got ECG and BP working using Dante63 mod.

heres the list of what I removed:

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.honeyboard

If you have issues with GPS (if you use it) replace pm uninstall -k --user 0 in every command with pm disable-user --user 0
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] bobby janow:
As per @Seanie280672 doesn't think Bixby was the problem, and I can't believe it was either. I never even opened Bixby on the watch. I really don't do sleep tracking either, it's silly to me since it really doesn't give accurate info. Like my O2 was 80% and it never goes below 94 when sleeping or just awakening. At 80 I'd have the EMT guys knocking on my door. But it does do HR accurately and I also have the ECG and BP from Dante which work great. I bought a fabric band on Ebay for $20 from a guy that didn't want to promo band. It's really confortable at night so I figured I'd give it a try. Worked one night then crapped out last night. I'll try again.

When using GeminiMan is says debloat but does it disable or remove the app? And what is Sree? I'll play around with removing some stuff but it really doesn't bother me much. I just like to tweak stuff and sometime wreck it to a reset. But not on this watch it's just too hard to reconnect with the Pixel.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Seanie280672:
sree is the global goals app
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] mzsquared:
So, here is the final view of my GW6 apps and that's all I really want for the sake of my biking and walking activities stats. I am very curious if it will have any measurable battery savings, will see. After my last de-bloat I charged the watch to 100% and left at idle, no usage, just took a peak, here and there, and today after some 32 hours the battery dropped to 70% . That's a lot imo, the battery will go mt on its own in-like 4 days? My previous GW5 lasted much longer. I'll keep you posted.

My watch apps screenshot looks really funny, like a skeleton - wish I could see the wtf expressing faces of Samsung developers team if they'd accidentally stumbled upon it.:)

My final de-bloat list, I added some lines copying some from this forum:

09/10 Update:

48 hours battery drain/dbloat test done! The results show 66% of remaining charge(from 100%) after 48 hours of continuous idle watch operation with bt/wifi and aod Off.

That's pretty good, in my normal use I usually turn the watch off after getting home from my walks or bike trails so I think now this GW6 battery will last much longer then my previous GW5.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Weedsky:
Hi. I have oneplus phone, i uninstalled samsung keyboard after installing google's one and it didn't work, no keyboard. I had to backup. No complain, just reporting what happens to me
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] bobby janow:
Monitoring working again after reinstalling Bixby but that doesn't make sense. So I ran 2 days with sleep monitoring and then said eff it I'm trying again. Removed all the sree stuff and anything that began with BIX. Past 2 days nothing untoward has happened. Now I might start deleting stuff although it really doesn't bother me much. Battery life has been pretty good overall except when on LTE 4G and actively exercising with auto start enabled. I just give it a bump charge when I get home and forget about it. Really digging the watch though. The list is too long for me to start uninstalling stuff but how about a couple at a time? What should I get rid of next?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] mzsquared:
Yeah, I use gboard too but it doesn't work w/o Samsung keyboard independently even after choosing gboard as default. It will show up on the watch when needed though.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] mzsquared:
Oh, you have LTE version? That makes it more complicated with the modem being in it, to figure out what's controlling watch telephony. Sorry, but I can't be suggesting what apps to uninstall. In my post here I only described what I did in an attempt to gain longer battery life. Debloating has its risks involved, the apps I trimmed from watch were more or less predictable for the functions they carry so I took the risk hoping that, if things go wrong, I could reset the system to its original state. Right now my watch works well for me without all the debloated stuff, but It's hard to tell if future OTAs will support it or break.

This site has good apps search library, I use it for references regarding apps.

Wow, i had 18h max being stock. I uninstalled bixby, samsung pay, mundial clock, compass and now gplay service only a 10% (before it was 30%) quite nice but 1day and 4 h since last charge and i'm at 21% battery. Maybe auto detection of activity drains (i sleep with my watch, o2 and 10mn cardio)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Weedsky:
And, how do you unintall maps, i can't (i use gemini) it only uninstall updates

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] T.A.R.D.I.S.:
Hi

After a bit debloating , i don't charge during 3days and 1 hour of using. It stayed 13% battery.

But i have issue with Play Store and GPlay Services too. I don't think it drains much battery but it's not normal.

My use : music with mobile, mails, whatsapp and counting pas.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] norberto_:
@ T.A.R.D.I.S

What have you removed as a "bit debloating"?

3 days and 13% left looks pretty good ?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] T.A.R.D.I.S.:
Sure : it's the same list gaved by mzsquared except Outlook, Contact, Message and Phone
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Urmas1:
Is Google Wallet working after removal of:

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.samsungpay.gear

?

I guess not...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] fabianocannizzo:
For me yes..
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] davenyc:
After the recent upgrade WearOS/OneUI watch, I started having dreaded battery drain from Galaxy Wearable Music. I used your instructions to disable com.samsung.android.wear.musictransfer Your instructions worked, although some of the steps took a few tries to establish connection between my watch and pc. Thanks for helping solve the problem that had been aggravating me for weeks!!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Pipould:
Hi All,

TOP ! A big thanks for the list already made..

I'm overall amazed... Samsung (and others) mas----te themselves on battery life and then PACK their wearables of ****....

I've already uninstalled all what I could... But had to finish the process with this list and adbcontrol (works with the watch btw).

I just don't get it, why the hell they don't provision only an initial app that then loads all what you want on the watch ? I mean, I don't give a DAMM about samsung pay (i'd already give a damm about gpay first)...

Unbelievable you can double the battery life almost by just removing the crap without changing usage...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] edsdanny:
Anybody knows if you delete the Media Controller package, can you still control Youtube Music from the watch if I play it from my phone? To change music using the watch

Later Edit: I disabled it and it will not work.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] STRUZZIN:
Can anyone help or tell what I might be doing wrong.

I am using LMDE 6 and I cant get the adb to connect.

When I try to pair it says: adb: unknown command pair
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] StefanMagu:
Hello guys, I have a quick question that someone who already debloated can answer it. I ve seen in this thread that someone unistalled bixby and he lost the tracking sleep functionality. I want to do the same, to remove bixby, but i am afraid i will lose the sleep tracking functionality or maybe other. The question is: after doing any debloat and let s say i mess with some system setting, is there any way to go back to factory settings? What i am really asking: will any debloat made BEFORE any factory reset affect the watch AFTER the factory reset itself?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] edsdanny:
No. If you Factory Reset your watch it will come back to its initial state with all the apps installed again, so you can disable the packages safely. Just don't uninstall any package you will find, only those who are safe, not system ones. I disabled A LOT of apps (bixby, health, find mywatch, reminder, alarm, camera, gallery, assistant, weather, paygear and a lot more). My watch 6 classic now stands at 3 days battery life with AOD off and plane mode during the night. I strictly use the watch as a mini phone (calls, messages, whatsapp, gmail, gpay) not interested in health sensors.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Aid777:
Has anyone used GeminiMan to debloat the Galaxy 6? I connected to my watch and there weren't that many green items that were safe to remove. Most of them seemed to be watch faces.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Dante63:
for better understanding, you can use my app, Geminiman WearOS Manager (it's an expansion to my app SHM MOD Companion) and debloat knowing the risk, you can find it on the Playstore...

what we see is package names, we can't see the signature type, the level and the location unless you dig into it one by one, the app I built does all that and tells you hw safe it is to debloat, I am sure if you apply this list, one of the apps will be highlighted in red as high risk...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] quoctoanuet:
Thank you,

Yes actually i can tell which one im about to debloat by reading the package name

i installed the app but dont see option to disable packages, do we have that option?

If i uninstall apps using your app, will them back after i do factory reset?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] quoctoanuet:
May I get the list of the app you have disabled, im using classic version and after debloating, the watch stops working after reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] edsdanny:
After the recent WearOS update the watch will enter in a restart loop if you delete any package via ADB. I already tested this 3 times after 3 resets on my Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. Even if you delete other useless apps and you restart the watch (power off/on) he will not connect to your phone anymore and will constantly crash until you will get the "Android Files Corrupted" message.

I did a factory reset on the watch, reinstalled everything and I simply used the Galaxy Wearable App on the phone to DISABLE all the apps I could (maps, assistant, disabled bixby sensors and all permissions, weather set to 3 hours refresh. all health features set to manual, only steps are counting, and some other tweaks). I always put the watch to Plane Mode and Power Saving when I arrive at home. I get around 2-4 days of battery life from 100% charges until 5-10% depending on what I do. I bought a 15W wall charger and plugged the USB-C in it and the watch fully charges in max 1 hour and 20 minutes. I declare myself happy with the watch now.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] quoctoanuet:
Thank you for the tip. I guess you re wearing 47mm version, mine is 43mm and I hope it could last 2 days following your tips.

I recently used Gemini WearOS Manager to uninstall some apps via ADB, i rebooted it once and it was working fine until now. I think that time Ive remove wrong app, this time i only remove whats shown in the power consumption list. I dont expect a day n night difference between before and after debloating but well it satisfies my curiosity. Debloating is the first thing I do with my android phone, even though the iPhone is my main device
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] edsdanny:
It's the 43mm version. I have my S20 FE debloated, bixby deleleted, customization services deleted, everything that is uselsss and full of bloatware. Probably that's why my watch is not using that much battery. He can't find the services from the phone to connect at.

One thing that I hate at this watch: you are losing way too much battery over night 5-7% (even with the screen off).
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] quoctoanuet:
I think the battery is for sleep tracking. I don't use a Samsung phone, I don't even connect my Android to the watch unless the installation process and never open any apps other than Google Play and Samsung Health in the watch, but it still drains the battery. Maybe I need some time for the watch to learn my routines.

That 2-4days of usage without debloating with tons of apps that require network surprises me
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Dante63:
Disabling can get enabled by the OS, but uninstalling the OS doesn't reinstall and you can always restore any app you uninstall from the app or reset...

So uninstalling is more superior than Disabling if you want the app to be completely off and not running at all...

Disabling and uninstalling sensitive apps can lead to resetting the watch if the app is critical...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] snovvman:
There is much discussion about an annoying Samsung Health daily goals notification that pops up on the watch. This reddit discussion is but one of many on the same subject.

The remedy is to go to the watches's Developer Options -> App Notifications -> All Watch Apps Samsung Health > disable wear_notification_daily_activity. However, this option is grayed out on some GW watches, including GW6.

@Dante63 or anyone else, is there an ADB method to disable this property? It would make a lot of people happy. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Dante63:
Daily goals? The one when you have hit the milestone, it would show you great job, got steps, and then the activity time, then calories, then a final congratulations for today...?

Is that what you're talking about?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] snovvman:
Thanks for responding. It is not what I'm talking about. When goal(s) are not met the day before, the watch throws up a message asking "is today the day..." that you meet the goals you set? This message comes up *before* the goals are met, if the previous day goals were not met.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Dante63:
I think all of these will fall under the same notification category 🤔, and I think it can be turned off but not specific notifications, the entire category as whole...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] snovvman:
Under Developer Options -> App Notifications -> All Watch Apps > Samsung Health, there are several categories, including sleep notification and health monitoring. You might be right that the wear_notification_daily_activity might control the entire category, but I would still like to know if it can be disabled via ADB.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Dante63:
From the looks of it, It will crash health app, because Health app will push notifications without checking for permissions, the crash drawbacks is health not restarting, so all health tracking is suspended till you open Samsung health manually (and it doesn't crash)...

you can turn Samsung Health notifications as a whole off from galaxy wearable on the phone though, that shouldn't affect health app

And you don't need to go into developer mode to see health notifications, you can go from app in settings then permissions then notifications or just go into app list, Samsung Health, permissions then notifications...

(Not sure why samsung repeated several menus)
