Pixel 4a Debloat - Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion

Now that factory images have finally been posted, we got to work with what many people have pre-installed (qd4a.200805.003). Pretty clear of bloat compared to many of the other manufactures, but there are still some apps we really don't need, and some that we can definitely do without, especially those that nibble away simultaneously at your privacy, data allotment, and battery. We have tried to categorize each type, and comment a little regarding each entry.
Probably the easiest way to debloat on this phone today is to issue the "pm disable-user --user 0" command via ADB as explained here:
https://www.xda-developers.com/disable-system-app-bloatware-android/
Without further ado, here is what we came up with:

This is just our first draft of what we have done so far on our phone, so please feel free to comment, add, and delete.

I was surprised to learn that my device came with all of these Verizon services preloaded (but disabled at least) even though I purchased the unlocked version. Its kind of disturbing to learn the amount of influence Verizon has on device manufacturers, I was happy to see it gone. Thanks for the helpful list!

Actually, has anyone tested using this command to uninstall the Phone application? i use Google Hangouts exclusively for phonecalls, meaning that every call I receive on my SIM number is either a missdial or spam, and since Android doesn't let you mute those notifications, it can be pretty annoying as you might expect. Some devices tolerate the uninstallation of the Phone app just fine, while others will crash and reboot from an incoming call with no application to handle it. I'm planning to go with a custom ROM once one is available, so I will test this personally soon to see how the 4a behaves

I have an unlocked phone and there is no Verizon apps. If you bought it from Verizon that's the problem.

I didn't buy it from Verizon, I bought the unlocked version from the Google Store. The apps don't appear on the phone itself, only when you push "Adb shell pm list package -d". Try it for yourself.

same here...mine is Fi directly from Google Fi store and it had all those Verizon apps even though Fi does not use Verizon!

I have an unlocked phone and the Verizon apps are on it, but disabled and not visible. They do show up in Titanium Backup, which is the only way I knew they were there.

I bought my phone unlocked from Google and it grabbed a bunch of AT&T bloatware. I use an AT&T sim so I figure it sends a pull request and grabs that garbage on first run. Easy to uninstall but pretty ****ty.

Definitely possible. The weird thing is that I use a T Mobile SIM. So no idea where my Verizon stuff came from unless Google flashes the same image to every phone and then "activates" the Verizon apps if you buy the Verizon version? I have no idea truthfully. If so, what a ****ty way to do it...

Turning off, or freezing Photos, breaks the camera preview of recent shots you've taken. I just tried it and got a black screen. It wouldn't access my third-party gallery app. When I unfroze Photos, the preview worked (again). I don't want Photos running nor do I want to use it, but it seems like that camera functionality is broken without it(?)

I thought the "# Tethering (Un)Entitlement " would be where the phone checks to see if you can tether or not. When I disabled it the tethering option was greyed out and couldn't even tether through my visible card. My plan is so old that they didn't say we could or could not use hotspot but with the 4a now it tells me I can't if I try to enable it.

I'm gonna give this a shot, thanks for posting!
With this method, do system updates or factory resets undo this debloating?

hey so i just noticed you're disabling these and not uninstalling. any particular reason why we wouldn't want to issue pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of package> instead of pm disable-user --user 0 <name of package> also located a few more verizon apps to add to the list
Code:
sunfish:/ $ pm list packages | grep 'vzw'
package:com.vzw.apnlib
package:com.customermobile.preload.vzw
package:com.android.vzwomatrigger
sunfish:/ $ pm list packages | grep 'verizon'
package:com.verizon.mips.services
package:com.verizon.obdm_permissions
package:com.verizon.services
package:com.verizon.obdm
package:com.verizon.llkagent

Thanks for the post.
Do you know what to disable to remove the obnoxious date and weather "widget" from the home screen?

i am not running the stock google nexus launcher but iirc, you just hold down that date/weather widget (while on the home screen obviuously) for a second or two and then either drag the widget to the top of the screen OR select remove if a menu appears. i run nova launcher and that widget can be added or removed similarly and it's referred to as google's "At A Glance" widget. i ran grep on "google" which produced a bigger list, also "glance", which produced nothing, and finally "widget". that output is below:
Code:
sunfish:/ $ pm list packages | grep "widget"
package:com.google.android.apps.genie.geniewidget
there's the "At A Glance" widget

I'm wondering if some of these actually are necessary. Settings has been acting strange and force closing a lot since disabling these. Haven't made any other sort of system changes.

Debloaters are netoriously aggressive w/o a demonstrated benefit for each item on the scratch list. Adverse side effects are common. My advise is to use the tools already built into Android to identify offenders and only act on those that are truly egregious. Share your experiences so others can learn.

bruh, you're going to need to be more detailed with your responses in order to receive help. specifically, which p4a do you have (verizon, fi, or whatever) on android 10 or 11? which of the apps did you disable and have you installed any apps post disabling some of the system apps?. can you give us a display output from
adb shell pm list packages
adb shell pm list packages -d
adb shell pm list packages -u

I don't use the method in the OP to disable apps. I use Titanium Backup (requires root) because if something screwy happens, it's easier to find the culprit and reverse it.
I disabled everything in the OP except Tethering, 1st run, and Photos. So far, so good on A10 running Nova launcher. I haven't had a Settings crash.
A bad disabling can cause that, but so can a poorly matched launcher, or an older app that Hooks Settings that isn't updated for the latest Android version.
Are you rooted?
Also try clearing the cache/data in Google Play Services. I've found a corrupt Play Services update can crash Settings. In the past, I've had to revert to an older version manually and let it update again.

Damn you guys kick ass. I wasn't even really asking for help and certainly not expecting it but thank you!!! I was just gonna try to fix things on my own.
I was about to try the Android 11 beta anyways so I went ahead and updated to that which has helped SOME- Settings still will back out on its own or jump around but hasnt FC'd since. It is especially wonky on the battery page and will sometimes go back to home on its own.
So this is my first Android phone(going back to OG Droid) that I have NOT rooted. I normally would just freeze via TiBu myself too. I am also using Nova Launcher. I am using TMobile on the phone FWIW.
Here is the disabled packages list . I can do the others too but its quite long and didnt want to clog it up.
Code:
PS D:\Downloads\platform-tools_r30.0.3-windows\platform-tools> .\adb shell pm list packages -d
package:com.google.omadm.trigger
package:com.google.android.youtube
package:com.vzw.apnlib
package:com.android.sdm.plugins.connmo
package:com.verizon.mips.services
package:com.verizon.obdm_permissions
package:com.android.sdm.plugins.usccdm
package:com.android.sdm.plugins.sprintdm

package:com.google.android.hiddenmenu
package:com.google.android.apps.youtube.music
package:com.android.connectivity.metrics
package:com.verizon.llkagent
This one is interesting
package:com.google.android.hiddenmenu
Looks like in general a lot of apps are disabled by default? Cause there's plenty I don't see in the OP list but I have only done things on that list.
Can anyone who has not disabled anything post their disabled list please?

All I removed via adb was Carrier services , Chrome , Google voice and assistant and the Verizon tripe.

Stutter FIX [NO ROOT] [OFFICIAL ROM]

This procedure does take a lot of time, but you only have to do it once.
* Make sure before following this that you have ADB installed for example in LINUX
* Backup everything of your phone
* Reset to factory from the phone itself or preferable from RECOVERY
* Do usually phone setup, but DO NOT LOG IN TO YOUR SAMSUNG ACCOUNT !
As soon as your whole phone is setup again, WITHOUT SAMSUNG ACCOUNT!
* Enable DEVELOPER options at your phone
* Connect your phone to your ADB for example in LINUX with
Code:
adb shell
Your phone is now ready to accept commands over ADB terminal window, I used Linux
Execute this list of commands LINE by LINE
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.game.gamehome
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.game.gametools
pm uninstall -k --user 0 samsung.android.game.gametools
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.game.gos
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.enhance.gameservice
Now reboot your phone!
You are now ready to LOG IN IN TO YOUR SAMSUNG ACCOUNT!
In your Galaxy Store a lot of Samsung software needs to be updated, but as you see from the provided code, SAMSUNG GAME TOOLS MUST NOT BE UPDATED!
If you have ever updated SAMSUNG GAME TOOLS, the stutter will return in browser applications like CHROME, KIWI, YANDEX, OPERA and all other Native Development Kit applications which use the NDK Blink Chromium Engine. This includes applications for Social Networks e.g.
It is not possible to undo the consequences of an updated SAMSUNG GAME TOOLS except for doing this long procedure again!
Since you are now probably also don't like Bixby here is easy code to disable Bixby.
Optional disabling Bixby but keeping visionintelligence in Camera Application of Samsung but not necessary
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.wakeup
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.spage
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.routines
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.service
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.agent
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.agent.dummy
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixbyvision.framework
Optional disabling Bixby Complete but not necessary
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.wakeup
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.spage
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.routines
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.service
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.visionintelligence
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.agent
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.agent.dummy
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixbyvision.framework
It took weeks to discover how Samsung Game Tools update from Samsung its own Galaxy store unfortunately SETS A FRAME RATE LIMITER at other browser applications e.g.
If you do not experience stutter, lag, jank, jitter or you do use Samsung Internet Browser only, this long procedure is not necessary.
Make sure to prevent this artificial application frame limiter, especially browsers, that you NEVER UPDATE SAMSUNG GAME TOOLS!
Did this with a clean installed official ROM from my country.
After an OTA over the air update it is possible that SAMSUNG GAME TOOLS might RETURN. Be sure not to update it!
If it works for you too, pressing thanks would be nice.
Diagnosis for near future: RESERVED
Most issues are fixed with the topic start post, here communication with other people at forums observing the same. For now the artificial frame rate cap by Samsung can be avoided. Firefox does not seem to be affected at all.
NDK applications do not always communicate well. Stutter was observed in such a stable way, that it seems touch events overflow the message que. When this happens, touch events are dropped. Then browser NDK viewport stops responding a short time, perhaps 100 millisecond. Then the touch events message que is ready to be filled with new touch events, and it happens again. As in native development kit Chromium Blink based browsers seem to not be able to filter out unimportant messages fed from the touch screen. Like it's not necessary to process for example duplicate touch events. This is not happening at all devices.
At least it's such a stable stuttering and so depending on touch events, ask Chromium Blink team for studying how many events a touchscreen can send in so little time. It's rather Chromium Blink engine now wants to process all events but that is unadvisable.
A millisecond pause for example in processing the message pump from touchscreen events can prevent this flood.

S10E Can't uninstall "Your Phone Companion"

I have an Exynos variant of S10e, currently on ASIG. I wanted to disable this app from the Settings but the option is grayed out (for both instances cuz there are 2 different for this app). So i searched it in Play Store, but uninstalling keeps running for a day now and nothing happens. Found the app in Galaxy Store but can't find the option to uninstall from there.

Did you happen to update the phone recently? I also noticed the Your Phone Companion app afterward and can't uninstall it. Perhaps Microsoft had some sort of partnership with Samsung.

Yup, updated few days ago. I used adb to uninstall both instances. Take a look at the reviews on galaxy store.... This app is useless. Can't even get it to work until today but it's just useless.
I noticed this as well - it's not just for the S10e, but also the regular S10. Samsung has integrated the "Your Phone Companion" app into the top menu "Link to Windows" button.
samsung.com/za/support/mobile-devices/i-cant-find-the-your-phone-companion-app-icon-in-my-app-list-after-updating-it-on-galaxy-s10es10s10-device/ (I can't post links here so I removed the leading url info)
I would be fine with this but I can't uninstall or disable (or even End Task) on Your Phone Companion and it's causing an issue with my incoming SMS photos. If someone sends me a photo and I have wifi enabled, Your Phone Companion and Messages app try and access the photo at the same time and Messages refuses to download it (causing a permissions issue or a lock issue on the incoming file). If I disable my wifi and go to data only, the SMS photos come in no problem. This issue started when I enabled "Your Phone Companion" and downloaded the most recent version from the Google Play store.
-Gina
Just turn off "Link to Windows" if you don't use it or it's causing issues when connected to the PC.
This garbage appeared on my phone with the Android 10 update. Can't be uninstalled, can't be disabled. Why does Microsoft get to install crap on my Samsung android phone? Hey Samsung! Make it go away!
I went to app settings of 'Link to Windows Service' and changed 'Allow Background Activity' to off (restricted), and the 'Your Phone Companion' app disappeared from my App list (after I previously had uninstalled updates to it and forced stop - which still left it in the app list). However, was still somewhere in some battery setting that I can't find anymore. I also turned off Allow background data usage for 'Link to Windows Service'. I hope I have effectively neutralized it. these two apps. I only wasted probably over an hour when my Windows 10 recently updated and lured me into trying to sync my PC with my Galaxy S10 cell phone (Verizon), via Your Phone Companion, which I really didn't need -- of course, it did not work and got hung at 90% installed, and now I've wasted more time trying to uninstall it. Thanks everyone for writing in and at least giving me a fighting chance at getting rid of it....
Why cant you all just use adb to disable? Here is link to explain..
https://www.xda-developers.com/disable-system-app-bloatware-android/
In powershell for example youll use this command....
.\adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.microsoft.appmanager
Of course, remember to have developer options and usb debugging turned on. Do this and its disabled. Hope this helps. Good luck!
I have a long list of apps I adb the hell out, never leave home without!

Hey, I tried a few of these and they worked, I think its just disabling them but either way I dont have to see their faces, I mostly did the updates OTA, Maps and good reads so I cant speak for the others. Thanks for the tip.

This ^. I'm pretty sure Amazon will re-enable apps via OTA updates, unless you disable them via some script or via exploit which will be found in around 2 weeks

Because they want you to use their services and Google banned them for using their services, at least that's what I know so we have to use their super idiotic services

I understand that but I have literally blocked them from everything. Amazon has no control over my tablet anymore. I won't do any OTA updates.

Well, if you disabled OTA via some script them ok, but if you didn't they will install automatically even if you don't press install button, I assume you disabled it via script

Hmm.. That's interesting. I didn't use any script. But how are they going to install when all related packages are disabled?
I guess we'll see

I believe they hid something on root level, so I don't think using only adb is going to solve any problem, I would suggest waiting 2 weeks to 1 month and unlock tablet

If you nutered (renamed) DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk then most apps disabled via "pm disable-user ..." will remain in that state. Otherwise, they are easily reenabled via other processes or OTA activity. Disabling the previously mentioned app (none of the others really matter) and/or the Amazon app store via 'pm disable-user ...' is not durable as has been demonstrated on numerous occasions. FireOS will periodically re-enable apps/services it deems essential.
Caveat: I do not currently own a 2019 HD 10 (one is on the way) so it's possible behavior may be different on the FIreOS variant loaded on this devices. That said, FireOS has been behaving this way since early v3.x builds released in 2012. I see no reason why Amazon would reverse positions now as Fire devices are intended to be captive portals into the Amazon ecosystem, not general purpose Android gizmos.

Not entirely accurate. While Amazon does want you to use their app store as it serves as a source of revenue to subsidize the low cost of hardware (not to mention the rest of the Amazon ecosystem) they do not explicitly block the installation of Google Play Service/Store. Google did not 'ban' Amazon devices. While FireOS is a heavily skinned Android variant it does not meet the criteria to have Google Play Service pre-installed given the presence of a competitive app store. All of the major players operate this way. It would be nice to see Amazon offer Fire devices in two flavors (one with a generic Android build including the Play Store at a higher price point) but there is no economic incentive to do so. If you want that buy an Onn or Samsung device.

I don't like the fact that they're trying to tell us that fireos is not an Android when it clearly is, heck it even removed split screen feature, which is easy to change if you have root access but still, their policy is super strange, I would like fireos if it had option to change launcher and remove lockscreen completely (I don't really like lock screens because I want to jump straight to content where I left it) otherwise fireos is well optimised for this tab, I currently have HD8 with Lineage 14 and it is a super stable ROM, will test 16 when graphics problem is solved

Thank you for the clarification. Yes, I'll be waiting for the bootloader unlock, twrp, root and lineage os port like most of us.

Semantics. Just because FireOS is based on Android does not mean it has to behave like AOSP or contain the same feature set. Most consumer (and many commercial) products share a common base that is customized to the sellers liking. I appreciate you and many others have a different opinion on the matter but it falls into the 'want' category. Amazon, Samsung and a handful of other manufactures that heavily skin Android are (mostly) playing by the rules established by Google. If there was sufficient consumer demand for an alternative Amazon or some other manufacture would sell it.

Engineers? All recent Amazon devices are re-purposed commodity grade hardware already on the market. Amazon isn't going to heavily invest in writing custom bootloaders/kernels, radio firmware, etc beyond flipping switches to disable functionality (eg: nutter fastboot command set). FireOS is simply a skinned Android variant that angles users toward Amazon's ecosystem. Stated another way, it makes little economic sense to lock down hardware to deter the 1% enthusiast club that make up XDA and similar boards.

Well, I didn't say that they need to integrate AOSP to their tabs, I say that they should make Android more Android-y or something like that, I don't mind skinning Android as I myself love OneUI, btw your idea that they should make something with Google play available is a good idea, probably something like "Amazon Fire HD 10 Google Play edition" it would be a lot better

I personally believe Amazon is quite happy with their Android skin (aka FireOS) just the way it is with only minor evolutionary tweaks. Been more-or-less the same for the past 4 major revisions. Keep in mind the economic drivers; becoming more "Android-y" doesn't necessarily drive sales in the Amazon ecosystem. Tech enthusiasts see it differently but that's not the demographic they're after.
Contributed to a sustained OT rush (guilty as charged); let's bring this thread back to what the thread title suggests.
If anyone is interested, install alternate launcher and disable amazons, i used trebuchet cm 13.... INSTALL LAUNCHER FIRST....
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.firelauncher
Hi. Does there exits a list where I can assing what command Is for what app? I can not assing every command to a known app ( e.g. com.amazon.tahoe or com.amazon.iris)

Using this method only disables the packages for user 0. They are still active at a system level, and are capable of restoring themselves. Amazon has always done this.
You could potentially run a startup script with init.d script support, or run it however often the packages restore.

My DEX died after ADB Bloatware Removal

Greetings,
I decided to debloat my Samsung Note 20 Ultra phone of all the bloatware apps Samsung installs. I used the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) shell to perform this bloatware removal and the list shown below identifies all the Samsung bloatware app names which I used as a guide in my removal process.
Everything went perfectly except for the fact I mistakenly uninstalled DEX which is an app that allows me to connect my Note 20 Ultra to a monitor via an HDMI connection. Once the connection is established DEX would automatically start and magically generate a "Windows Like" desktop GUI on the monitor. In short, my DEX is no longer working in the same way it was working before I performed the debloat process.
I hope somebody in this community can identify to me which Samsung parent app from the list shown below is the DEX app subordinate to? Because my theory is the DEX app is hiding inside one of the parent apps shown below and what is not making it easy is how the word "DEX" is nowhere to be seen. Therefore, I hope somebody can tell me which of the Samsung apps shown below I should leave untouched so my DEX app remains operational.
Any tips welcome.

Dependencies, dependencies, dependencies... I can't spot it.
A lot of those apps sit there and do nothing unless needed. May have something to do with Samsung Pass. The names can be misleading as well.
Maybe try it from the other end; check Windows Event Viewer for error messages when connecting.
Thank you for the Windows Event Viewer tip. I have not been able to pinpoint the Samsung app I need to leave alone after spending a bunch of time on Google. Looks like I have no other option but to factory reset my phone and try this Windows Event Viewer approach you mention.
Lastly, I am curios to know after uninstalling a junk app like Facebook is there any chance it can get re-installed on my phone as part of a future Samsung update?
You didn't permanently uninstall it if it was factory loaded. I will not use that scumware.
This is the Package Disabler i use. Much easier to block crap and to correct mistakes on the fly.
It also has a interactive widget that lets you toggle selected apps on/off. Useful for troubleshooting.
It also does a neat trick that settings>apps can't do when clearing data, it leaves no null marks. Certain system apps can't have their data fully purged in Settings resulting in your only recourse being to factory reset to correct it.
Yearly fee, and they respond to emails in a timely manner.
I don't see anything listed that you removed either, and agree with @blackhawk that it is probably a dependency for DeX that you removed.
Instead of a factory reset, please try to troubleshoot by reinstalling each app on your list you think may be the dependency.
To reinstall apps via adb:
cmd package install-existing <package name>
Just in case, here's the DeX app files:
sec.android.desktopmode.uiservice
samsung.desktopsystemui
sec.android.app.desktoplauncher
sec.android.app.dexonpc
Good luck!
Thank you to all for your posts. Blackhawk I took a look at the "Package Disabler" app you recommend. I have not purchased it because the merchant is located in England and it seems the app I need which is named "Package Disabler Pro (Samsung+ CLOUD)" is sold under some kind of subscription plan which I do not like.
Nevertheless, I found an alternative app in this very forum called "15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3". The link is below:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...vers-15-seconds-adb-installer-v1-4-3.2588979/
I also found another app in the link below:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-windows-tiny-adb-fastboot-august-2021.3944288/
I would appreciate it a lot if anybody in the community can comment on these apps. Is my Note20 Ultra compatible with either of these two apps?
I just want to make sure I'm using an app that is not going to cause any damage to my Note20 Ultra. Any advice welcome. Thank you for you time.
PD is [email protected] year for up to 3 devices. For the amount of trouble it saves, it's inconvenience, reliability and for real time troubleshooting it's worth it to me.
I usually toggle its widget or open the app a couple times a day.
As crazy as it sounds, the culprit is the service

Lol you couldn't see the Dex because of the forrest. Best not disable something unless you know what it does and if it has any dependencies. With a package disabler you can make changes on the fly. Makes it a easier, can be used for troubleshooting and repairs.

Does A Validated Debloat List Exist

Hi All,
I have gone through 4 factory resets already because I keep messing up on what Samsung apps I need to leave alone, disable or uninstall in an effort to debloat my Note20 of all the bloatware Samsung installs.
Long story short, has anybody in this forum posted a validated debloat list that applies to the Note 20?
Below is the debloat list I'm following for Samsung apps. My hope is somebody in this community has posted a debloat list of what apps I need to leave alone and what apps are safe to disable or uninstall. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I don't think anyone can say what a definitive debloat list is, as no two people are going to agree on what constitutes bloat.
With that said, I'd recommend disabling vs uninstalling, it's a lot easier to roll back vs uninstalling.
There's several apps that are available for this (root & unrooted) & a desktop client that is easy to use.
This is what I use:
[TOOL] ADB AppControl 1.8.0 🚀 Ultimate App Manager & Debloat Tool + Tweaks
ADB AppControl 🚀 Root is not required. Works with any Android device. Can do almost everything you dreamed about with applications. ADB AppControl - the desktop program, that will allow you to easily manage applications on your android device...
forum.xda-developers.com
Koliosis,
Thank you for your post. I have to admit this ADB AppControl app was not in my radar. I downloaded the free ZIP version which requires no direct installation to my Windows 10 OS.
I noticed there is an Extended Version that costs $7.00. Do I need to buy it if my goal is to debloat my Note20? Or does the free version also include the same debloating funtionality the Extended version comes equipped with?
I hope this app includes a feature that WARNS me what Samsung apps I should leave alone. Case in point, last week I disabled the Samsung Payment Services app using the command below:
pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.kgclient : Payment Services
This novice mistake caused my Note20 to lock up. I couldn't shut it down or do anything. The only thing that was displaying on the screen was the error message below:
Phone Locked
(3020)
Your phone is locked because Device Services was uninstalled without authorization
I seriously thought I bricked my phone using an app called "Minimal ADB and Fastboot". It's only after spending a lot of time researching this problem I was able to figure out the solution was to get my Note20 into RECOVERY MODE and then do a FACTORY RESET in RECOVERY MODE.
For this reason I created this post. I just want to find a Note20 Ultra debloat list that will inform me what apps I need to leave alone and not mess with in any way. As I mentioned, I thought disabling the Samsung Payment app would be safe, but it seriously messed up my phone. Therefore, it would be cool if this ADB AppControl app provides me WARNINGS for apps I should leave alone and not disable, or uninstall.
You should be able to debloat w/the free version. I had no issues & it gives you the option of disabling or uninstalling.
The paid version adds a few perks, one of them, I believe, is the ability to back up any uninstalled apps.
Also, it has a 4-step semi-auto suggested debloat list. The steps range from totally safe to highly risky. You can pick & choose very easily. Works on all Android devices, I've used it on Samsung, Motorola & the Pixel 6 Pro.
There are some debloat lists floating around. I use them as a guideline, but, I've never bought into anyone's list 100%.
If I want that level of debloat, I'll buy a phone that's rootable & put a custom ROM on it.....

Here's a debloat thread,you should be able to get some solid feedback from the membership:
