[HOW TO] Remove OEM Bloatware From S7/S7Edge - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion

This is a handy way if you do not want to buy an app from the store, like BK Disabler.
Prerequisites
ADB​Your phone​
How To
Connect phone to computer​Download Package List ​Open Package List and find an app ID you want to uninstall​Open Command Prompt or Power Shell and Type these commands​
Code:
adb shell (hit enter)
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package id>
So to uninstall the Samsung Keyboard, the command would be this:​
Code:
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user -0 com.sec.android.inputmethod
Found this on the S8 forum and I tried it on my S7 and it works also.

A list of apps + ids and list'em like :
• heavy, like that News/Panel app, s-voice
• non-intrusive / so-so, like s-music
• wouldn't notice if it's gone, like the keyboard you mentioned.. (that i wouldn't remove cause it pop's up when using Knox things..)

Does the device need to be rooted for this to work?
Note :
Well obviously it doesn't, since I've given this a try and it's all good. However, removing bloatware on Asus Zenfone 3 will cause bootloop upon updating firmware. Will there be the same case for S7 / S7 edge ?

Is there anywhere a list of "safe" bloatware to remove? I don't want to brick my S7 Edge.

Reinstall Soundalive

A while ago I decided to remove SoundAlive from my S8 using the
Code:
Adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <soundAlivePackage>
command. Time flew and I decided that I'd like to reinstall it, however, installing it through package installer results in the
Code:
app not installed
message and through ADB in
Code:
failed to install sa.apk: Failure [-3001]
where
Code:
sa.apk
is the filename for SoundAlive.
I'm unrooted, 8.0.0, Experience 9.0.
Probably don't need to know any more for the future here is a link to someone who put up a way to reinstall all packages uninstalled thru ADB

[Debloating] Xiaomi Poco F1 - Safe to remove services

This is just another debloating how-to and I'm just starting out with the POCO F1. As of now, I'm trying to uninstall individual packages to see which are safe to remove and which aren't. Before we get to that, let's go through the steps one by one. The guide is similar to the one posted here.
How to debloat the Xiaomi POCO F1
1. First download the ADB tools from
hxxps://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
This is the official source, right from Google.
2. Extract the contents of the zip file to a folder.
3. Open a command prompt in the folder by right-clicking while holding down the 'Shift' key.
4. Connect your device to your computer.
5. Ensure USB debugging is enabled for your phone. For this you will have to:
Open Settings>About Phone>Tap 5 times on 'MIUI Version (For POCO)>Go back to settings>Additional Settings under System & Device>Developer options>Enable USB Debugging.
6. In the command prompt type the following to see if the device is connected and accessible.
Code:
adb devices
7. You'll see something like
List of devices attached
@#$SDFD5 Device
8. Then enter the shell by typing
Code:
adb shell
9. Identify all the packages with the word Xiaomi in it by typing this:
Code:
pm list packages | grep xiaomi
10. These are the packages I found on my phone.
Code:
package:com.xiaomi.powerchecker
package:com.xiaomi.account
package:com.xiaomi.micloud.sdk
package:com.xiaomi.payment
package:com.xiaomi.oversea.ecom
package:com.xiaomi.midrop.overlay
package:com.xiaomi.mirecycle
package:com.xiaomi.simactivate.service

package:com.xiaomi.mbnloader
package:com.xiaomi.providers.appindex
package:com.xiaomi.bluetooth
package:com.xiaomi.camera.parallelservice
package:com.xiaomi.scanner
package:com.xiaomi.discover
11. Then repeat the same command but this time search for miui instead of Xiaomi.
Code:
pm list packages | grep miui
12. These are the list of packages that I found on the POCO F1.
Code:
package:com.miui.screenrecorder
package:com.miui.powerkeeper

package:com.miui.smsextra
package:com.lbe.security.miui
package:com.miui.whetstone

13. To remove a package simply type the command below and replace 'com.miui.analytics' with the name of the package without the quotes.
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 "name of package”
14. The apps listed below are safe to remove.

If you remove finddevice, and if you try reboot the device, the device will not be able to boot. You will then be directed to custom recovery and will have to reflash the device.
If any one knew the purpose of these apps/packages, please list so that anyone new to this can confidently remove those apps.
Doesn't these apps get reinstalled with the update?

Thanks for this man. I'll check this out. The above method does not require you to unlock the bootloader or root so it's less intrusive.

Technically, yes. Though I would wait till someone tries it first.
The POCO F1 is currently my daily driver, so after debloating it, I installed Rootless Pixel Launcher and the Bridge to enable news feeds. The experience is near Pixel like. I'm hating the Xiaomi dialer though, will experiment with GSI once I have another phone as a backup.

Same here. But the Pixel launcher only changed the App drawer and the start screen. I think the GSI will give a much better experience. I had the Note 8 before and the different UI is really annoying but the Pixel experience would be a middle ground for me I guess. Ich found this link to flash the GSI:

Found the Systep app remover very useful to determine which apps are safe to delete and which are key or should be kept. More about it @ https://www.theandroidsoul.com/android-system-apps-safe-to-uninstall/
Although the app needs root to uninstall system apps, if you are not having root you can still install it and let it inpsect your apps and then use adb to uninstall bloat as per its recommendations and your taste.

Debloat/Disable System Apps

So you got your new shiny realme device but you hate bloatware or want to disable system apps so you can use 3rd party apps instead?
Follow the steps below:
THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT HOWEVER MAKE SURE NOT TO DISABLE IMPORTANT SYSTEM APPS. WIPE DATA/FORMATTING RE-ENABLES ALL SYSTEM APPS. THIS DOES NOT MESS WITH OTAs.
WHAT YOU NEED:-
ADB/Fastboot Drivers
Windows: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip,
Linux: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip
DEBLOAT:-
1. Enable developer options by tapping on the build number 7 times and enable USB Debugging.
2. Plug in your phone.
3. Goto the folder where ADB is installed, hold shift and right click, and click on open command window here(windows).
4. Type
in CMD
Code:
adb devices
in Powershell
Code:
./adb devices
.
5. This should return the ID of your device and show if its authorised. Enable debugging Promt on your Phone if it shows unauthorised (allow this computer).
6. Type
in cmd
Code:
adb shell
in Powershell
Code:
./adb shell
.
7. This should display a prompt, something like RMXxxxx:/ $
8. To uninstall type
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of the package>
To disable type
Code:
pm disable-user --user 0 <name of the package>
eg: pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.heytap.browser / pm disable-user --user 0 com.heytap.browser
9. Done!
To reinstall uninstalled apps type
Code:
pm install-existing <name of the package>
To enable disabled apps type
Code:
pm enable <name of the package>
Some apps do not uninstall such as market and gamecenter, disabling is the only option.
Hi, I made a small shell script to remove bloat in my device. Anyone who are interested can check it.
Place it in root of Internal Storage, then
Code:

Uninstalled sideloaded app, now unable to reinstall

1. Sideloaded an app using LineageOS 17.1 recovery via "Apply update" > "Apply from ADB" > then "adb sideload" command on my PC.
2. Uninstalled the app using "adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package.name>". Also uninstalled from my work profile using the same command.
3. Now when I try to sideload the same app using the same process, it says success, however the app isn't on my phone.
Any help? Thanks.
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall -k -user 0 <package.name>
doesn't uninstall an app, it simply hides the app from Android's default user ( read: user 0 ).

but adb says something that user 0 not found or something like that. So I searched and found in some other forums a reply which said this is because multiuser feature was first introduced in Android 5.
My question is if the normal command is not working with KitKat devices, is there any other alternative command / method to debloat it? Any kind of script or an old command or a completely different method.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you
1. To uninstall apps you basically run
Code:
adb uninstall <package name>
2. To uninstall system apps phone's Android MUST be rooted, partition /system MUST get mounted as RW

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But on my android 6 tablet, I did this without root and it worked. Beside tthe name of the app uninstaalled, it says not installed for this user.
Is rooting method compulsory?
