[DE-BLOAT] Kindle Fire HD8 6th Gen

This is a WIP, but I wanted to post all the installed stock apps and their locations to help others with de-bloating their devices. Right now, this JUST has the "visable" apps as shown on the app drawer, and currently does not include any of the "share" or "provider" UI apps (like twitter, facebook, etc..I'll get to it).
Disabling/removing these apps might make the system unstable, un-bootable, and might otherwise require you to restore from backup/re-flash. I assume no responsibility for your bricked device.

cool beans...that just saved me a couple hours. Thanks!
* I plan on replacing each amazon app (with some exceptions) with an equivalent (er..better) app..doesn't require amazon sign in, etc, etc...that's the plan anyway. I might keep a a couple amazon apps...we'll see.
I got this thing, believe it or not to read books. I haven't read a good book in about 12-13 years--but I just don't want to be tied to amazon and didn't want to spend the $$ on a "proper" tablet. But after all this, one is pretty much turning a $50-80 tablet into a $150-200 tablet. w00h00!
In case anyone was wondering, the last good set of books I read were Steven King's Dark Tower Series (1-7). Yeah, it's been that long.
Going from all that crap to:
ereader app = fbreader
music player = foobar and poweramp
web browser = chrome, opera
camera = htc gallery & htc camera app *if it will work
video player mxplayer
google play
titanium backup
nova launcher
stock calandar
stock clock
weather app nws/noaa unoffical
gallery: probably stock htc
google maps
keeping stock android contacts:
calculator:realcalc

so now that its been a couple days, did disabling those listed programs have any ill effect? i'd rather just skip the disable step and blast those things off my tablet

well....disabling is safer because you can usually re-enable it(undo) it. Which is good for testing. If you delete something and something goes wrong, you are back to square #1. right now I'm dealing with an issue where I disable a bunch of stuff then I reboot, and my settings screen doesn't load. If I restore from backup, settings still doesn't work. I disabled something I shouldn't have. So I have to flash anew and start over and find out what I did wrong cuz I disabled too much stuff--don't get too greedy like me, hehe. Take it one little bit at a time. But, for the main apps listed above, yes those appear to be safe as also confirmed by other kindle devices/threads which share the same application apk.
* don't disable/remove/rename DeviceSoftwareOTAContracts (this is different from DeviceSoftwareOTA, which of course should be renamed/disabled>. DeviceSoftwareOTAContracts is tied to main settings menu for the device. I learned the hard way, lol.
So far this is what I have disabled and testing for stability. I'm sure there will be corrections.
If anyone here does the same, please advise if any of these disabled causes issues, crashes, or otherwise possesses your device and starts speaking in tongues and if there are those that I have currently skipped/forgot about/whatever, that seem to further trim the fat, PLEASE let this thread know so we can all benefit (or fall victim from, hahah..isn't it fun!?!)

yes, if you compare the lists, I pretty much have them all disabled, except the stock android contacts app. There are also DRM services that amazon runs in the background and lots of other nice things that tell them exactly what you are doing.
For example, did you know that the kindle app, in addition to keeping tabs on what your reading, suggestions, etc..it also keeps track of when you read, how long, and get this..HOW MUCH TIME UNTIL YOU TURN THE PAGE (i.e. how fast you read), what words you look up, all combined and stored in some sql relational database linked up with their ad networks, and god knows what else..no thanks. Nuke it all. (restore what "bricks" it).
* The list @phpbb88 posted would be way to go to start out. That's what I did. I also double checked with other threads/cross-reference those apps and verified they were indeed safe to remove/disable. But there ARE other apps, which seem to be safe to remove. But that's when you start to get into I need that/ No I don't need that, which is different for everyone, and system stability territory.

this is a great thread @smokejumper76

Yes, I knew about that - and from what I understand, it's there for a good reason. There is a somewhat new service offered by Amazon called Kindle Unlimited that helps out lesser-known authors. The authors "publish" their novels into the service, and they get paid based on the number of pages that get read by the subscribers.
Of course, if you are disabling the Kindle app entirely, you won't be penalizing those authors, since you won't be able to read their books.

Another one you can add to the list is
com.amazon.kindle.unifiedSearch
This guy affects the Google search bar at the top of Nova Launcher. I couldn't figure out what services was overlaying it so I went to developer options and enabled "show CPU usage" which also lists the background processes. As soon as I tapped on the search bar this guy ran, disable it and everything is great. This can be helpful if you want to figure out what pesky services might be causing problems.
Also, someone mentioned Nova widgets not working. I used a system/app mover available from F-droid to make Nova a system app and widgets work just fine now.

Yeah, to each their own. I dunno man. I really just don't trust that stuff. With how social media and other technologies being ingrained the way it is. I just refuse to have any kind of social media presence (yes, I have friends, lol) for that very reason. But I am getting old, and the world is a changin'. I mean, employers now expect for you to have a S.M. presence?--give me a break--I value my privacy, lol--they don't need to know I read 50 Shades of Grey (which I wouldn't even if you paid me). But not just S.M.. Even just some regular websites (esp news and commerce), they can literally track your mouse cursor/browsing habits, page scrolling, etc, I won't even talk about the advertising..lol.I just can't accept that for me--so yes I will go to great/not so great lengths to try to stay away from all that crap--but I have issues--so please pardon my paranoia/insanity, hahah. I'm actually not a paranoid person, but when it comes to online/S.M. stuff, different story = 1984.

That search bar is evil. So even after disabling the silk browser. If you keep that search bar and try typing something in to search, wham, some type of evil mini amazon browser loads up..wtf?!?..lol. evil. evil. I thought it was just a widget type thing that works with whatever browser..no..it is its own browser, mwhahaha. very evil indeed.

Well. This sucks. Literally.
I have been monitoring my battery drain on the HD8 after I rooted and debloated it. My current draw is almost 10x higher now.
My old current draw while sleeping was -25 mA to -35 mA. After root / debloat, my current draw is about -208 mA!
I thought debloating would make my battery life better, not worse. I am trying to figure out what may be causing the higher drainage, but most battery apps aren't successful when reading the Amazon devices.

wow. I would check your processes and see what might be drawing cpu cycles. You might need to check the disabled apps, one by one to determine what it is that's causing the drain. I admit, I haven't tested it very much and kept it plugged in most of the time. But, that's why forums like this are so great so we can learn and adjust accordingly. Thanks for the heads up. I might unplug mine and watch the drain. I don't like using automatic brightness and tend to have the brightness closer to 1/3 - 1/4 of the slider bar--not sure if that would do anything.
* Also, if not already set, I would match the disabled apps that @phpbb88 posted and no more for now, that would be safer for testing. I just took a plunge a little further and I'm waiting for the repercussions/consequences , lol.

Yes, I only disabled the apps that @phpbb88 listed. I figured that was the safest route until I was sure that the tablet was still running fine.
I think I will re-enable all of them again, and see if my current draw improves.

well....after 1 week. seems the OTA has remained dead so I turned off opendns. I feel like a kid running around the house naked. Hopefully, no updates tonight.

Cool. Please keep us posted. I am very curious.
* With battery @ 100% I set display to stay on for 30 min and unplugged the USB
It's been about 45 min, and I'm still @ 100%. Granted, the tablet is just sitting there with the screen on not doing anything. Maybe I'll play a movie and let it go and see how much drain then. I'll keep it sitting, re-turning on the screen now and then to see how much it does down. I have some battary app. monitor running too, so we'll see what it says. I'll just put little updates on this exact post here with little *'s of the updated times and my battery percentage if I'm still awake/remember to do it.
*70 min 99-100%
* been about 2 hours @ 98% battery. battery app says 96%.

disabling the kindle.unifiedSeach makes my search bar don't work?
when I tap on it, nothing happened.
@chemie99 you might want to check it for the widget part. I used Link2SD to convert nova as a system app and now the widgets work!

Crud.
I re-enabled all the "safe" apps again, except for firelauncher. While my current drain has improved a little bit, it is still WAY too much. My drain now ranges from -100 mA to -168 mA (WiFi disabled). Where my tablet used to need charging once every two to three weeks, now I will need to charge it every two to three days. This will result in much faster battery wear.
A little nervous that this is a v5.3.1.1 vs. v5.3.1.0 thing. I don't know if I can go back to v5.3.1.0.

I tought Android One is Pure. Look at all these things. 212 app, one device.

Pure android means non-oem customization (aka. skins like samsung and miui and htc and so on) and non-oem applications (like gallery, music, etc) and you have to use GAPPS the full suite.
Most of those services you posted are quite useful for the device since they control proprietary hardware, which Google cannot account for. The only custom-nongoogle apps you have on your device is the Qualcomm feedback module and the Xiaomi feedback module, the rest of the OS is full stock AOSP with the specific proprietary drivers/controllers and services. Ohh and camera... miui camera instead of google camera, that's it.
You posted a full list of system apps, why didn't you filter out the apps that are bugging you if you want the real details behind your topic?

Less customization should must be less bloatware. If i can use my phone without all these Xiaomi bloatware on Custom roms that means all of them useless for me.
Xiaomi just didnt take that 'less' is better path. They choose 'more' is better as always.
This act of the Xiaomi has purpose. That purpose trying to lead us to newer phone.
It whispers us to this:
"Look! Your phone isnt capable anymore to work fast. Spend more! This is the only way to have faster phone."

Like I said in all the other threads, I undestand the frustration, and indeed I am also frustrated over how this device ended up being, but it's a difference between having real reason for that and having baseless reasons like yours.
Bloatware is something 3rd party put in their device as something to bloat the os over the base functionality, those Qualcomm services are not bloatware, those are apk's improving the run of specific hardware. To make this easy to understand it's like generic windows drivers that make the hardware work over specific oem drivers that make the hardware work fully at it's peak capacity, or to make this example even more compelling try running a good/expensive video card with generic Microsoft drivers over the vendor specific drivers. And guess what, when windows is going to install the drivers it's not going to show into the list of apps installed, but when you install the vendor specific it's going to show. Same goes for android, use generic controllers already embedded into OS source, your list of System apps is smaller, you can't embed it into the code because Android One needs to be AOSP, you get a bigger system apps.
Look at all the custom roms, all of them, benchmark them and you'll see you will never get the same results as vendor stock, you'll always get lower results. Why? Because even when the phone can run without them, it won't run as optimized. Also, they are all there as APK's because that way it's way easy to update now with the systemless updates.
You don't believe me? Firstly look at all the threads that complain about loss in power in custom roms, then just search for every package you find there and check it's purpose, all those answers are one click away from your favorite search engine. You don't have to take my word for it, and you can do your own research.
Conclusion: The "This act of the Xiaomi has purpose. That purpose trying to lead us to newer phone." is indeed founded, and I'm kinda getting sick of keeping a crippled device by my side daily and use workaround to get even basic functionality out of it, but the reason is not in any way related with your OP. Your OP only shows how little you understand about the workings on operating systems and computer systems. The real reason is how they treat the customers, not the way they display driver controller services.
Also, you want more proof? Good, I can give you that as well. Opening your OP as single post, pressing ctrl+F and first word we search for is com.android: 121 results, the second com.google: 53 results. Your list is composed out of 212 results. 121 android system related services + 53 google related services = 174 total AOSP system services and we're left with 34 "bloatware". From that 34 "bloatware" apk's 33 are qualcomm's proprietary closed source services, and only one stray apk, only one! Where is all the bloatware you're talking about? Like I said, if you don't believe me, use the same tactic, and also search what every system apk is doing, because from what I'm getting you're deeply misinformed.
P.S. Forgot to tell you this. Also you are lacking basic debugging knowledge. I never experienced even one slowdown or problems with the OS as smoothness since I have the device ~2 years. When I had, I always checked the apps I have installed, pin pointed the culprit and removed it... And guess what, always, and I mean always it was a 3rd party app with a broken update or the app broken by itself. I never experienced any slowdowns now in .02 neither in .04, and I don't even need to reboot the device, everything is snappy and does what it's supposed to do, except the mentioned bugs and missing features. This phone is extremely capable still, and it never let me down, and when it managed to let me down, it was because of apps I installed from the market, so before you throw blame, debug, check, double check, and see if the problem isn't from you directly before pointing fingers. After you managed to do all that, and you're still getting problems, and you ruled out any user problems, then and only then it's OS problem, and it should be marked as such. Don't forget, this is Android and not Apple, the store is still providing malware and badly written apps because no one gives a damn.

I'll make a full list of the bloatwares when i have a free time. Maybe you cant but i am seeing the useless system apps. I'll be very happy with Pico Gapps instead of full.
I am not using some functionalities. Like Managed-Provision app its for Enterprise users not for me! It will break corporation's functions but as i said i am not an enterprise user of this phone. I can give you more example like this. These apps are bloatware for me. Do you understand what i mean. Yes it breaks some functionalities but these functionalities are useless. Useless apps will cause the consumption of the System resources. This consumption creates UI lags, Fps drops, hiccups,.. etc. As you can see my reasons is not baseless.
What you dont understand is: Not all of them is required.
Thats why we're -people like me- keep creating bloatware lists for every single Android device. Thats the fact.
Android's has one main purpose: Increasing the hardware requirements so oems can sell more when they release every new OS. Theyre keep selling this argument for years and they succeded.
Bloatware removing or tweaking os or custom roms trying to break that chain. You know what: it helps to improve performance. Thats another fact you cant argue.
I can do almost everything on Windows with 3 or 4 gb ram. But on Android LMK kills the Firefox -without user interaction- for another app. Even when i lock Firefox to the Ram LMK still kills it. This proves the Android's main purpose. Eat whatever you can like no tomorrow. User's needed apps killing by AndroidOS the reason is 3/4gb ram is not enought for that apps. Dont u see the stupidity of that. Oh i see.
This system helps to their economy and other intel related things. Because you cant feed an Android. Even when u try ur best it will request more.
Conclusion is this: I cant increase the hardware, but i can lower the hardware requirements. Thats another fact/base whatever you call.

Good, you made some interesting points, but also, some bad points as well... And I'll give you this one, you are right on the part that android devices are sold with the lie that it's a reliable OS that's going to run well and dandy, but after 2 years they silently kill the device by increasing hardware improvements and decreasing overall experience... Wew, where did I see that before, isn't Google's slave companies actually buying the biggest mistake from Apple? At least Apple went back on it's feet and it's not doing it anymore.
"I'll be very happy with Pico Gapps instead of full."
Uhh, many of us are... I really hate most of the apps in the Google suite that comes preinstalled on this device... until now OEM solutions were always much better than the full suite, but guess what, that's the price for Android Stock... you know, full android experience isn't complete without those... and you should know that, it's the price that you pay for Pure. That's what Pure means, at least in official Google terms.
"I am not using some functionalities. Like Managed-Provision app its for Enterprise users not for me!"
Except it's a little weird, you were actually complimenting the device in your other thread over it being part not only from Android One, but also their Enterprise program. I guess now, that's a new price we have to pay...
"Bloatware removing or tweaking os or custom roms trying to break that chain. You know what: it helps to improve performance."
This argument has a lot of sense, but... here is were you go wrong unfortunately. Indeed, removing stuff that's targeted to a separate audience, and slimming down the OS indeed has an impact on performance, as long as you're doing it on a vendor OS. That indeed, I won't argue, because I'd be a total jackass to do so, but on custom ROMS that's a totally different story. While Android OS is open source and it's developer friendly, custom drivers/controllers/services are never open source... I develop a lot for Mediatek devices and trust me, those are a god damn pain, I can't imagine Qualcomm being any different... you know, being so desperate for feedback and all that and having even proprietary services running the device... and that's why... as much as anyone tries get the full vendor experience out of a custom ROM, you win some, you lose some, as for the vendor case (well not our case at the moment) the device always works as intended.
"What you dont understand is: Not all of them is required."
And what you don't understand is that this device is not a device made for you specifically. They included everything for everyone. That's what most people problem is, you think that when you buy something, that something is build/made specifically for you... unfortunately that's not the case, not in Android's universe. You are stuck with whatever the OEM is giving you as "system". And this is another fact that leads me to my conclusion... Android tried to copy Apple too much, and is still not waking up... Apple now even lets you uninstall preinstalled Apple apps, Google doesn't, you can barely disable them in setting, that only if the OEM vendor allows you to do so (because I found apps that aren't allowed to be disabled). Which of course sucks hard... But that's what we get, a crippled Apple copy, butchered by OEMS and we pay money not for what we need, but for what they give us.
Android LMK or by it's official name (lmkd) is developer programmable. Look it up, you get how to use it, and it's dependent on how Xiaomi or Qualcomm program it, what does have to do with the list of apps you posted? That again proves my point, bad, extremely bad programming on the side of the developer... and possibly memory leaks from system apps.
"Conclusion is this: I cant increase the hardware, but i can lower the hardware requirements. Thats another fact/base whatever you call. "
Good conclusion, but this conclusion has nothing to do with what you wrote in OP. Ok, look here, like I said, you are in fact right about what you say, but... out of those 212 apps you posted, how many are actually running in memory, on auto-mode? How many are user related? How many are just there as "file and forget"? From all these questions you need only the first one answered, because the rest don't concern performance on the device. To affect the performance, one application must first be in use of system resources to actually count as a performance decrease. In .04 build, Android System, or Android OS or however it's called has a memory leak, a memory leak that's probably triggering lmkd a lot faster than normal. The second memory leak may be in my personal case Android System View... And that explains a lot about how the developers optimized the OS... sloppy, without any care, just another update on the list, absolutely no testing... just throw the update out and see what sticks, let the people write problems for us. Also the lmkd trigger could just be badly optimized... Didn't look into it that far, I don't actually want to touch the OS on this device, I have my "device toys" and this is not one of them.
So, as your conclusion was actually good, but it didn't stick to OP. For an app to be bloatware it has to be 3rd party useless, and it must also consume system resources... What you need is slimming down the OS. In this case the problem is the Android One program first... those apps are supposed to be in the Android One whether you like it or not... I also didn't know it until I looked into it, unfortunately... Or else I would've gone for MIUI without any doubts. Also, many of those apps, actually a lot of them are actually dormant, they're simply there for maybe future implementations, the fact is that they don't run at all... This is just another bad update... a bad update that's here for almost 2 months now. All we can do is hope that they will actually get this right in the next 1 year and leave our device alone. I really, really like the hardware (sorry for your OV sensor) but the software and support is horrendous.

The only custom-nongoogle apps you have on your device is the Qualcomm feedback module and the Xiaomi feedback module, the rest of the OS is full stock AOSP with the specific proprietary drivers/controllers and services. Ohh and camera... miui camera instead of google camera, that's it.
Sorry, but what are the feedback forms for?

Take some time and restrict all of these apps in background via battery manager I have restricted like all apps and battery is hell lot better and so is the ram management

I don't have all those packages as in the first post and I would like to keep things stock, just want to remove those over ADB. Running a command for each package looks simple and safer to me.

Still works for the ones you do, but it will go faster.

See how the URL comes up as id=com.samsung.android.voc?
com.samsung.android.voc is the package

You don't need to be a developer. There is no code involved in the above instructions.

Install "Package Disabler Pro" on your Smartphone.
This app list the real name of the app.
Example:
Vodafone Appbox = package:com.aura.oobe.samsung.gl
Delete it with adb:
start with developer options, then you have to do:
"adb shell"
"pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.aura.oobe.samsung.gl"
An other example:
Samsung Free = package:com.samsung.android.app.spage
"pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.spage"

The first time I saw this topic (that is, easy-debloat without using a rooted version of Android) was from this article, which is a bit out of date but explains the basic premise:
https://www.xda-developers.com/disable-system-app-bloatware-android/
If you're not familiar with the Google program "adb" this may be helpful too:
https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
And even some documentation from the authors of the ADB command:
https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb/
As you know, many pre-installed applications can be removed via Settings→Apps, as you'd expect. If removal is prevented then try using Google's Android Device Bridge command (running on a PC or Mac; I use Linux) using the adb command.
You're right to be concerned about what applications are related to a package disabled or uninstalled by any of these methods. An application may have prerequisites or corequisites. As always, use care making changes like this!
Example​Imagine you prefer Google's Contacts application, rather than Samsung's. As best I can tell, on Android 12, the Samsung Contacts application cannot be uninstalled or disabled by a novice user via Settings-->Apps. But what might happen if you could successfully remove Samsung's Contacts application? I tried this scenario and here's what I found: Samsung's Contacts application appears to be required for Settings-->Safety and emergency-->Medical info.
How did I test this? Well, it's possible to force a disable Samsung Contacts using a command similar to:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.contacts​Package com.samsung.android.app.contacts new state: disabled-user​
If you now try to navigate to Settings-->Safety and emergency-->Medical info, you'll get a pop-up message saying something like:
Unable to open Contacts. Tap SETTINGS,​go to App info > Permissions, then allow​the following permissions and try again:​Contacts​
This is why I think Samsung’s Contacts is a prerequisite for some services. Services which do need Samsung’s Contacts application’s services will notify you with a pop-up message, like the one above. (And no, installing Google’s Contacts application doesn’t help.)
In any case, if you're unhappy, you can easily undo what you've done so far with this command:
adb shell pm enable com.samsung.android.app.contacts​Package com.samsung.android.app.contacts new state: enabled​
Your phone should be none the worse for trying this example. But for fun, let's continue the scenario, Samsung Contacts can be uninstalled rather than merely disabled:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.contacts​Success​
However now it’s not possible to even navigate to Settings-->Safety and emergency-->Medical info. The item remains under the Safety and emergency settings, but it is not grayed out (a common way to know you can’t tap on an item), and clicking it doesn't work (no error message). So I think Samsung's Contacts application is a hard prereq for Medical info. ("Hard", as in "There's no way around it.") What's more, the Emergency contacts (also under the Safety and emergency entry in Settings) item doesn't work. So more than one feature isn't working.
If you change your mind you can reinstall the package:
adb shell pm install-existing com.samsung.android.app.contacts​Package com.samsung.android.app.contacts installed for user: 0​
After a reinstall I'm pretty sure your phone is again working well. End of example.
I'm not an expert on this topic. And I don't mean to start a new discussion about this topic on this thread. I thought you'd like an answer to your question, with what I hope are specific examples and links. There's another (one of many, actually) active discussion, which mentions certain corequisite and prerequisite packages, by name, and why you might want to keep some. See:
[ADB] [NO-ROOT] Samsung Optimization Guide - A Better Experience
PS: At the end of my playing around I decided to keep Samsung's Contacts application, and hide it as best I can by using a feature in Nova Launcher Prime. Why? It was important for me to have my phone able to display medical info (allergies).

How To Guide Debloat LISTS - S22 Ultra Series

Hey everyone, figure i start a thread on apps/etc that can be safely disabled, so that we can dial on on removing needless junk from our phones.
I am currently running a Snapdragon S22 Ultra, SM-S908U 512GB (AT&T variant) so my list may vary versus other Snapdragon variants.
LIST BELOW, this is for SnapDragon users. There are some AT&T apps other Snapdragon uses will not have, each carrier has their own bloatware added. I may have missed a few or have a few added you may not have.
If you own a Verizon, T-Mobile, or Unlocked S22 Ultra, please PM me with a list of your running processes and i will attempt to create a minimalist list for each Snapdragon variant.
This is a work in progress; your feedback helps, as does that of any others with more experience or knowledge to share!
Your battery life will differ from mine depending on your preferences.
I have battery saving on, 70% max CPU speed on, 720p, fixed 60hz, 85% max charge, and some other misc tweaks i would be happy to share. I will update this post with all settings maxxed out in a few days (by end of March)
Instructions
Use ADB AppControl for ease of use, and simply create a text file in your ADB AppControl/presets folder and copy these entries and save as txt.
Enable USB debugging on your S22 Ultra
Load up ADB AppControl, on PC, connect S22 Ultra and connect in 'Cable Charging' mode.
Follow instructions to correctly connect your S22 Ultra (easy walkthrough, only needs to be done once)
Once connected properly, hit 'Load Preset' and load the txt file you made
Click dropdown in bottom right and hit APPLY
This list DISABLES Chrome, Google Assistant, DeX, Edge screen, ALL AT&T crap, ALL gaming related crap, PenUP, S-health, Samsung Pay, Google Pay, and some other minor 'features'. All are easily restored and i will separate this list with descriptors in a few days.

[Complete] List of Samsung Bloatware Safe to Remove
What’s bloatware? What are the lists of Samsung bloatware safe to remove? How to create your own Samsung bloatware list? Read answers here!
www.minitool.com

This is awesome, exactly what I do with every phone. And the more detailed the list, the better.
But always be careful, what you remove, don't just remove everything, because something is maybe needed later on.
Quote me:
This Thread is for advanced user who want to have:
- A faster Device
- Better Battery Life
- much less battery draining
- much less lag
- don't want to be spyed on so much
- Removed Bloatware
- don't want to support the default system
- don't want to be a sheeple
- be an intelligent user
- have the freedom you deserve on your device

Google's alternative for Apple's iMessage.
Why RCS?
With reliable global infrastructure and a consistent user experience, Google's RCS (Rich Communication Services) technology helps the mobile community deliver better messaging everywhere.

As far as I can tell, RCS is also on Samsung Messages, at least here in Europe (Slovakia). At least it seems to me that these "Chat features" are just that.

Do we have to use ADB console for this or are there some good (non-root) apps that can help with debloating?

currentoy using adb to debloat, so far huge battery improvement but also on day 3 with it ao that coincides with battery usage learning as well.

Still refining the list of safe to disable stuff, about another 2 days testing. Managed to get very good battery life, but that involved disabling some stuff... ATT sent me a 4G sim so i havent tested battery drain with 5G, and im using bixby routines to do some stuff like auto-kill apps at night etc. 720P, 60Hz (i dont care about 120hz since i dont game), CPU on optimized, and battery saving on. Wifi OFF, BT and NFC OFF, no facebook or other social media besides reddit.
Impressive battery life in this config. Snapdragon 512GB via AT&T.

Do you get any actual notifications pushed? I noticed with battery saving mode, nothing got pushed.

yes, and to the always on display as well. Im using Nova so i have it configured through there, works fine. Should get about 50hrs with around 9-11 hrs SOT in this config, impressed so far, my Note7's got about 10hrs with 3hrs SOT towards the end, initially about 18hrs with 4hrs SOT and that was also with debloating done.

Guide will be updated later tonight.
Currently on day 6, 4 of which have been neutered, getting 50hrs avg charged to 85% max with 10hrs SOT. No wifi, all 4g.
Battery saving, 720p, 60hz, proc limited to 70%.
I will test with full res, adaptive hz, and 100% proc speed for the next two charge cycles and report back here, i expect approx 40hr battery life with 8hr SOT.
I dont game or need 120hz/wqhd+, so ill probably stick with whatever nets me the most battery life. Comfortably getting 2 daya of battery life is excellent coming from my Note7 that struggled to get 10hrs with 3hrs SOT after 5.5yrs.

Question Safe to debloat list?

I'm looking to transformmy gw4 to close to pixel watch style and want to get rid of any samsung ux apps.
So i would like uninstall/disable any samsung ux apps and services that eat battery for no reason and not break any services (steps, heartrate etc.
Not uninstall but preferably disable (correct me if i'm wrong, but after uninstalling system apps using adb can these be installed again if i want to go back to stock by factory reset?)

No it's absolutely safe to uninstall bloatware as factory image can't be modified without root.
Calling pm uninstall --user 0 [package] should uninstall for current user eg. on a different partition which was setup during device initial setup.
Also it's safe to execute pm delete-dexopt [package] it order to remove files after the app optimization process on first start.
Next week I'll try to create a list of app safe to uninstall.
P.S. Oh, meanwhile could you try to take a look at the installed system apps list
pm list packages -s

@ArletPDR you can try this method though it's from 2021.

Sounds good to me, its a shame that I can't remove samsung health for all the health tracking functions of the watch to still work properly, it's a huge battery hog and I'd rather use google fit or better yet, and open source tracker, but I guess that's on me for buying a samsung watch, can't wait for it to be rooted
