How to remove bloatwares and preloaded apps? - Realme 5 Questions & Answers

Color OS preloaded with certain apps. Such apps can't simply uninstall. Its hard coded, , for e.g. App Market. Users need to apply commands from ADB to uninstall preloaded apps.
1. Install ADB and Fastboot
I installed ADB and Fastboot on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, use following commands on a command terminal to install it,
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
Windows user can install the Windows version of the ADB and Fastboot
2. Enable USB Debugging
Tap on many times (I think seven times) Settings > About Phone > Kernel version.
Go to Settings Additional settings > Developer options > USB Debugging and enable it.
3. Install App Inspector App
This app is helpful to find the exact name of the apps you want to remove.
Install from Google Play Store
4. Login into Realme 5
Connect the phone to PC using USB cable. Apply the following command on command terminal to check the connection,
adb devices
A dialogue window will appear on phone screen, confirm the connection from phone screen.
Enter into ADB shell,
adb shell
5. Apply the commands to remove the apps
Open the App Inspector and find the names of apps to remove,
e.g. Name of the App Market app is com.oppo.market
The command to uninstall the App Market is,
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oppo.market
The same way apply the commands to uninstall other unwanted apps available with Color OS 6 on Realme 5.

This is probably a driver issue. Adb drivers for your device are not getting installed in your computer. Same happened with me on windows7. but drivers got installed automatically on windows 10.

Nope, it's not the problem with package name. Same error is thrown when I try uninstalling the game centre app. It may have something to do with not having proper privileges over adb to remove the app?

actually I couldn't solve it. I tried installing drivers and stuff. nothing helped. so connected my phone to another laptop (win 10) and removed the bloatware.

It should ask something like"Confirm RSA finger print. Also, to get adb drivers, get driver easy(free version), get the link for drivers and install manually in win 7

Just Google realme 5 adb driver, and download from the romprovider website.
Also, the same website provides instructions to do it too:
https://romprovider.com/2017/03/adb-fastboot-driver-install-window-html/

You can list apps with:
pm list packages -s (list system packages only with -s)
and running ones:
ps -ef
Oppo market app (save to uninstall if google play works well)
RMX1911:/ $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oppo.market
Success
Oroaming (Settings ->Dual Sim & Cellular Network => you will see Oroaming Not installed
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.redteamobile.roaming
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.redteamobile.roaming.daemon
Google Play Movies & TV (I dont use it)
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.videos
Google Music (also bloatware - prefer simpe players)
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.music
Never used Facebook apps in phone (just browser)
Facebook services:
pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.facebook.appmanager
pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.facebook.services
pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.facebook.system
Talkback (screen reader - not needed if you have good eyes)
pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.google.android.marvin.talkback
Theme Store
pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.nearme.themestore

Delete_failed_internal_error
RMX1851:/ $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oppo.market
Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]
Still getting this error - any solution?
I was able to remove a few but these 3 are giving this error:
App Market - com.oppo.market
Game Center - com.nearme.gamecenter
Theme Store - com.nearme.themestore

Hello sir,
I tried your methods, but it gives me this error message when trying it on Game Center...
"255|RMX1911:/ $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oppo.market
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oppo.market

I'm getting error message -
error: device unauthorized.
This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set
Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.

Recently the Xiaomi devices with MIUI Rom, users facing the ads issue on the devices and for this to solve i found out a easy techniques to solve this.
This technique is also useful if you want to debloat your android device from pre-loaded apps..
Requirements:
-Need to have abd installed on tpc PC.
-Need to enable usb debugging on the android device.
So the method is simple
Just go the adb folder, then open cmd/power shell there by holding the shift key and the right mouse button simultaneously and select Open cmd/PowerShell window here.
Then type these commmands....
adb devices [To check whether the device is connected or not]

For Example :
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.browser
Repeat this command for every apps which needs to uninstall...

Device goes into fastboot loop after removing any system app.

So I flashed the unofficial TWRP and installed Magisk, went fine, device boots up, root acccess is there. But whenever I try to uninstall any system app (say Netflix), my device goes into fastboot loop upon next restart (this doesn't happen if I don't unistall anything and restart). Any ideas on why is this happening?
Edit: Btw when I wipe and reinstall the stock rom the data comes back.

If you want to uninstall any system apps then you should try adb method which is safest method and it doesn't require any root access any dont get any bootloop errors... for uninstalling any system app the command is "adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.app.name" and for disabling any system app.the command is "adb shell pm disable-user com.app.name" & feel free to ask or discuss about any issues you have on this device i.e OnePlus 7..

Google discover feed, how can I enable it?

Hi folks, I have just got my Find X2 Pro today and so far I am loving it, however one feature is missing for me. On my old Mate 20 Pro, I had the google discover feed if I did swipe right....is there anyway to enable this on the Oppo phone. All I currently have is the smart assistant which does work but its not ideal.

Not sure if you figured this out, I was going to do a guide but decided just to post here:
All you need to do to get the discover feed (only tested on ColorOS 11), is to remove the Oppo smart assistant app (what you currently get when swiping left on the home screen).
You need to force the app off with ADB, reboot your phone and as long as you have the Google app installed, you'll have the discover feed!
The ADB command to run is:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.assistantscreen
If for some reason you want to reinstall, you can do so with this command:
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.coloros.assistantscreen
If you don't know how to get and use ADB, here's a quick guide.....
You can download Platform Tools directly from the Android developer here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
There are loads of more detailed guides on how to use ADB, but basic steps are:
Download the platform tools from the link above and extract to somewhere on your PC, e.g. C:/platform-tools
Open a command prompt on your PC (type cmd in the Windows search bar) and right click on it then run as Administrator
Change the directory to where your 'platform-tools' folder (so something like 'cd C:/platform-tools')
On your phone, USB debugging needs to be enabled, so:
Enable developer options by going to settings > About Phone > Version and clicking on Build number several times
Under Additional Settings > Developer Options, enable 'USB Debugging'
Plug your phone into a USB port on the PC
Make sure your phone is on 'Transfer Files / Android Auto' mode (the default is 'Charge only' mode)
Once set, you should get a popup on your phone to ask to Allow USB debugging, click 'Allow'.
Back in the command prompt, type 'adb devices' and hit return (you should see the serial number of your phone if connected)
Now you can get deleting - run the command mentioned above to remove the smart assistant app.
Note that it doesn't actually delete the app from the phone, it just removes it for the main user, i.e. you.
Done, enjoy!

Works perfectly on my Find X2 Lite (ColorOS 11 too). Thank you so much for the wonderful guide! I just received the April 2021 update (by using a VPN to France). and without adding back Oppo Smart Assistant, it appears to work just fine. Also worth noting that the annoying Smart Assistant did not come back from this update.
So it seems (to me at least) that you don't need to bring back Smart Assistant before every update. But still, I would recommend doing so just anyways, especially when the Android 12 update comes around.

I just tried it and, at least in my case, worked only the first swipe and then it disappeared.
I'm on a Find X2 Pro (ColorOS 12 - CPH2025_11_F.13)
However I found out that it worked by updating the stock laucher. I don't know if I can share here the apk, but you can find it online: com.android.launcher_12.0.50-12050_minAPI30(arm64-v8a,armeabi,armeabi-v7a)(nodpi).apk
With this, after the uninstall od the OPPO Assistant via ABD, you'll have Google feed discover working on ColorOS 12
Anyone got this working for ColorOS 13?
When I run:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.assistantscreen
I get a message saying the package can't be found???

Not sure if you figured this out, I was going to do a guide but decided just to post here:
All you need to do to get the discover feed (only tested on ColorOS 11), is to remove the Oppo smart assistant app (what you currently get when swiping left on the home screen).
You need to force the app off with ADB, reboot your phone and as long as you have the Google app installed, you'll have the discover feed!
The ADB command to run is:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.assistantscreen
If for some reason you want to reinstall, you can do so with this command:
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.coloros.assistantscreen
If you don't know how to get and use ADB, here's a quick guide.....
You can download Platform Tools directly from the Android developer here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
There are loads of more detailed guides on how to use ADB, but basic steps are:
Download the platform tools from the link above and extract to somewhere on your PC, e.g. C:/platform-tools
Open a command prompt on your PC (type cmd in the Windows search bar) and right click on it then run as Administrator
Change the directory to where your 'platform-tools' folder (so something like 'cd C:/platform-tools')
On your phone, USB debugging needs to be enabled, so:
Enable developer options by going to settings > About Phone > Version and clicking on Build number several times
Under Additional Settings > Developer Options, enable 'USB Debugging'
Plug your phone into a USB port on the PC
Make sure your phone is on 'Transfer Files / Android Auto' mode (the default is 'Charge only' mode)
Once set, you should get a popup on your phone to ask to Allow USB debugging, click 'Allow'.
Back in the command prompt, type 'adb devices' and hit return (you should see the serial number of your phone if connected)
Now you can get deleting - run the command mentioned above to remove the smart assistant app.
Note that it doesn't actually delete the app from the phone, it just removes it for the main user, i.e. you.
Done, enjoy!

How To Guide How to debloat Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G ♻️

In this guide we will see step by step how to debloat the RN 11 Pro 5G​
First of all we have to enable: Developer Options
Settings->About tablet->Software information->(tap 7 times)Build number
After that we will enable: OEM Unlocking & USB Debbuging
Settings->Developer Options->OEM Unlocking(ON) & USB Debbuging(ON)
On the next step we need to download & install : ADB & Fastboot tools
Once you install the tools, connect your {Phone} - {PC}
Select: USB Debbuging & Open your: Terminal
We are almost there
Now i will make a short explanation in order to understand what are we doing exactly & how we will do it.
What is ADB?
ADB provides us with commands that can be used to debug Android devices,
installing or uninstalling apps and getting information about a connected device.
adb shell
This command activates the remote shell command console on the connected Android smartphone or tablet.
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0
Using this, you can easily uninstall the unwanted system apps. To be able to execute it, you must issue 'adb shell' command first.
You can then use 'pm uninstall -k --user 0' followed by the Android app package name as shown below.
pm uninstall -k --user 0 name.of.the.app.apk
This command can help you if you want to remove all the bloatware from your phone.
Please note that most system apps don't have the 'Uninstall' option on the device but this command works magically.
Now all you need to do is find the app that you want to remove
Tap & Hold -> App info
Click -> Top left (info icon)
& Get the APK Name:
For example, we want to remove Mi Radio.
{Phone} - {PC} We check for any Usb Debug auth messages
We open the Terminal/CMD & we type:
adb devices (to check that we have a connection)
adb shell (to form a connection with the phone)
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.fm
the radio has been removed.
Thanks for your time ❤​
I'm on Veux MIUI Global 13.0.2 A12 Stable (SKCMIXM)
I have debloated these application:
Google apps:
- Youtube (youtube Vance is used instead),
- Youtube Music
- Google pay,
- Duo,
- Google TV&Movies
- Google One
- Talkback
Mi apps:
- MSA (Mi system Advertiser) - reduce advertising ads
- MiServices (Services & Feedback)
- BugReport
- MiPay
- MiSimActivateService
- MiFileManager (MiXplorer replacement)
- joyose
- Micredits
- Feedback&service
- Analytical
- Downloads
- Yellowpage
- Mipayment
- mirecycle
- ...
- Facebook services:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.appmanager
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.services
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.system
Notice that, the above method is only to uninstall the app from the system BUT the app *.apk is still there in the /system partition (fully debloat must have ROOTED access), You still can recovery re-install app ( in case of accident uninstalled ) by
Code:
pm list packages -f -u | grep <package name>
You will get the result in this format:
Code:
package:<full path to the apk>=<package name>
Example:
Code:
package:/system/product/app/Youtube/Youtube.apk=com.google.android.youtube
Then,
Code:
pm install -r --user 0 /system/product/app/Youtube/Youtube.apk
In MIUI13, Xiaomi has divide system partition into
- /system/app and /priv-app
- /system-ext/app and /priv-app
- /system/product/app and /priv-app (all google apps are located here)
SO, in the Settings -Apps -Manage apps; there will be triple/ pentadruple of several apps that we do not know what are for & safety for debloat !? such as kai.apk, cit.apk, Filled.apk, Rounded.apk, Sam.apk,...[/code]

My friend first of all im sorry for your problem, i havent encounter something like this before so i do not have a straight answer!
But lets discuss what you can do:
Make sure that you enable the Media transfer protocol, the option to transfer file between [ PC - Android ]
Try to re-install the android drivers
Try to plug your phone in a different PC
Try to restore your phone in a clean state
If none of the above works then you can try to re-install the official ROM in your device

I've tried both methods and none of then works for me, because my laptop can't find the device. Am I doing something wrong? Is root necessary? or have I unlock bootloeader previously?

You have to install all abd drivers, it seems that it's missing driver for pc recognize your device.
And you have to activate USB debugging in developer mode.
No root, no unlocked boot required

Well said bro, but i think that the problem isnt in PC side the adb drivers are there since he was able to debloat the device and after removing a package the phone's operating system is unable to triger the events when you plug it in, so what i recommend is a clean install of the stock rom.
anyone else succeeded in this? I wish to remove youtube and other crapware. If i do, am i allowed to make VANCED the default for opening youtube links?

Here is list of apps that I generally remove on Xiaomi/Poco phones
Is it possible to flash Xiaomi official roms too?
Works with Redmi Note 11 Pro+ . MEDIATEK processor? A thousand thanks
Thanx guys, does this still works?
In my experience, stock rom is faster and smoother then a custom rom.
I just bought this phone, I'm on android 12 (stock)
Does this still works?

Help with ADB

Can somebody please help me with a simple ADB command. I have ADB installed on Windows 7. I have USB debugging enabled on my phone which is Android 10. I have my connection setting set to USB tethering I can make a connection with ADB to my phone from the computer. I can list all programs that are installed on the phone. And then I type,
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.tct.onetouchbooster
And it just returns to a blinking cursor, no success message. I've listed the program on the phone so I know the program's there I know ADB is working and recognizes my device but for some reason I can't uninstall this program. In fact I can't install other programs either I tried another one and same thing.
Please help!
