Would I still be able to update my software without issues in my Galaxy s9 for instance after removing bloat via this method?? If yes, would it bring the apps back??

Yes you will be able to to update your device without any issue.
No your app will not be back unless the app's apk is present in the update package.

Hi,
Do you have any ideea how to re-install an app uninstalled by miskate?
Thanks

This pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.my.demo.app only removes the app from user 0 ( current user )
Sooo to reinstall and app, you will need to factory default your device

Please Help~
I've done the steps on your video https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/ .... but the result is always "failure" not found ... can you please help me. Thank You.

This might be silly, but how do we get the app's identifier, like com.demo.my.app? Settings > Apps does not seem to have that info.

Code:
adb shell pm list packages | grep <search-term>
Example: You can type "chrome" instead of <search-term> to find the Chrome browser.
For graphical solution you can install the app named "Package Name Viewer 2.0" by csing. :good:

Try reinstalling adb drivers for your device.

Would give this a try as soon as i get my hands on a proper pc. The korean apps on my phone are very annoying.

Is there a command to enable apps without factory reset?

I would say
1. Download from android themselves:
developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
2. Extract the .zip file somewhere on your computer and add that folder to your windows PATH variable so you can reference it from anywhere using command prompt (cmd.exe).

There no sucess or failure message.
Anyone knows why that happens and what can I do to fix it?

I had to do it twice, because I didn't turn off auto update in Galaxy Apps and didn't uninstall Secure Folder before I started. I'm not 100% of the connection, but somehow Bixby came back, but I uninstalled Secure Folder, turned off Auto Update, and it worked great. They got root for my device like two days later, so kind of pointless, but it helped a lot! Thanks! :good:

please I need help how can I enable an application that I uninstall by mistake ('com.google.android.apps.photos'), without factory reset, besides which is the command that I should use to disable an application?
nota: the options that are in previous comments do not work

Is there a way to re-install an Android system app uninstalled using adb?

I was trying to install an app on my Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro with Android Oreo 8.0 but couldn't because there was some package name conflict. So I decided to uninstall the conflicting package using adb. The package was com.samsung.android.app.clockpack. I searched on Google about this package and the only information I got was that it was some clock like app whose APKs were available online. So I thought uninstalling it would be safe. But it turned out to be anything but safe.
The app which I was trying to install still had that conflicting package name problem and after uninstalling the package I realized that it was, in fact, the app required to show the clock on the lock screen. Initially I had no problem after uninstalling that package. The default clock faces were still present and it seemed as if nothing had changed. Only after a few minutes did I notice that the clock had disappeared from my phone's lock screen. I tried restarting the phone but to no avail.
I had taken the help of this XDA tutorial to uninstall that package. And I had read the warning about having to factory reset the phone to recover the uninstalled system apps. I was ready to face the situation if it arises.
In the same tutorial I also noticed this sentence:
This is a good thing, however, as it means that these applications truly aren’t being uninstalled from the device, they are just being uninstalled for the current user
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I want to know, if the app isn't truly uninstalled from my phone, is it possible to re-install it somehow? If it's possible then it'll be greatly helpful as it will save me from wasting my time to factor reset my phone and re-install all of my apps. Thank you.

Try using the exact same command that was used to "uninstall" the app for the current user, but this time, when you type the command, change "uninstall" to "install".
“pm install -k --user 0 <name of package>”
Instead of:
“pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of package>”

[ROOT] [Discussion] Safe-to-remove System Bloatware/Googleware

Since there's no thread related to safe-to-remove system bloatware/googleware, I decided to make one.
I'm counting on your help to expand this list.
Tested
Chrome
Alternatives: Firefox, Brave, Waterfox.
Or you could simply uninstall it as a system APP and reinstall it as a user APP. There's definitely no need for Chrome to be a system APP.
Contacts
Alternatives: Simple Contacts Pro, fully open-source (paid or free if you download it through F-Droid, but won't get advanced customizations), Contacts+.
I also advise you to remove Google Contacts as a system APP and reinstall it as an user APP if you wish to keep it, there's no reason for Google Contacts to be a system APP.
Gmail
This one actually depends on your email provider, since I don't use gmail at all, I completely uninstalled this.
Also I suggest looking at ProtonMail, it's an email provider mostly focused on user data protection (through strict Swiss data protection laws) and privacy.
Then again, if you wish to keep this APP, I suggest uninstalling it and reinstall it as an user APP.
Digital Wellbeing
If you use this functionality on settings you may want to keep it, I uninstalled it.
Also I noticed that ever since I uninstalled this APP, there's an error on logcat showing that something failed to connect to this APP. However it's just a log, despite that everything seems to be working great.
Google Files/Files Go
If you managed to upgrade from Android 8 to Android 9, you most likely kept the standard system APP "Files", however if you flashed Android 9 from scratch, the standard system APP "Files" becomes hidden, which you may unhide it using this app. (I didn't test it). You can also use FileManager by Xiaomi.
Or if you're like me and prefer open-source APPs, I installed Simple File Manager Pro, it supports root (paid or free if you download it through F-Droid, but won't get advanced customizations) or this free and simple file manager.
If you wish to keep Files Go (Google Files) you can also uninstall is as a system APP and reinstall it as an user APP.
Calendar
At this point there's not much calendar APPs out there with cloud sync support, so I managed to stick to Google Calendar, although I uninstalled it as a system APP and reinstalled it as an user APP. I know I said this countless times but I'm extremely against contributing to Google's currently huge power on user personal data, so I try to be as google-less as possible.
Lens
Don't know what this actually does, but Android 8 didn't have it and I looked it up somewhere and some people said that it was safe to remove, and so far so good.
You can read more about it here.
Google
Safe to remove, however your search box widget becomes pretty useless. I actually don't mind at all, it even switches to dark theme mode.
Action Services
From what I've read, this APP is responsible for the APP suggestions on your All-APPs menu, so you'll get some errors when uninstall this. To avoid the errors you have to deactivate APP suggestions first:
Long Press Home-Screen > Home Settings > Suggestions > Apps (Disable this)
And now you're free to uninstall this.
Photos
Definitely not keeping this one, with cloud storage and such.
Replaced with, once again, Simple Gallery Pro (paid or free if you download it through F-Droid, but won't get advanced customizations). You can also use LeafPic which is also open-source and looks great but I didn't actually test it.
Google Maps
I use this, however I uninstalled as a system APP and reinstalled as an user APP.
I'm currently slowly trying to migrate to Waze even though it was bought by Google.
YouTube
I occasionally use it, so I made it an user APP.
Probably safe-to-remove but not tested
Device Health Services
Does anyone know what this APP is responsible for?
Gboard
I don't use it but I didn't uninstall it because it may be required for first-time password input when turning on the device.
When I switch to another keyboard besides Google or SwiftKey (currently using), there's a popup saying "Note: After a reboot, this app can't start until you unlock your phone.", that's why I didn't uninstall it.
Messages
Unfortunately I don't know any good enough Messaging APP to replace Google Messages.
I know there used to be Silence, it even supported P2P encryption but I think it was discontinued. There's also Textra although not open-source.
Feedback
When trying to uninstall this system APP it's shown that it is a Key module, although I really doubt it really is.
Uncertain

@lbsilva Device Health Services is battery optimisation.

One of the very few useful threads for this device. Bravo! Ideally, once there is a consensus on which packages can be removed without crippling the phone some knowledgeable person should make a script to do the job, either something to flash or a bash + adb to do it from desktop.

I found this .bat file, I think it's reusable with those above but only in Windows.

Wouldnt recommend removing anything to do with qualcomm or networking, be warned.

OP, when you say "remove", do you mean "disable so it can't run", or "completely wipe it off the phone"?
I've got a Blu Life One X3, rooted with TWRP and Magisk. What I describe below is my second attempt to debloat the phone. The first attempt, I just uninstalled unwanted apps from the current user via ADB.
Example:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 -k com.android.egg
I entered into TWRP Recovery Mode and deleted the /system/app and /system/priv-app directories for the apps I didn't want. Upon booting, the phone went through the boot animation and music jingle, then stopped. I left it overnight, since it was late and I wanted to see if it'd work its way to a full boot. It didn't, so I recovered with the out-of-box Nandroid backup I'd taken.
What's strange is that the phone worked fine when the very same apps were just disabled (during my first attempt), but locked up when those apps were deleted from the phone.
Is there something else I need to edit?

How to uninstall without using command line? Is there any some GUI application to uninstall this??
*By the way how to download youtube vanced, i search it in magisk download , there's nothing

If you are rooted, download titanium backup from playstore and have fun.
For yt Vanced, try clearing the repo cache from magisk's settings and search again. Or search the module here on XDA and add it manually.
Edit: looks like Google screwd things up and made chrome almost a dependency or it's an issue just on my device. On Oreo, Gmail stops working after chrome removal. Looks like Gmail is now dependent of chrome webview, it's crashing when using Android system webview.
Edit 2: nevermind, after updating Android system webview, Gmail app has started working again.

great thread, thanks

I found some apps/services that you've successfully disabled. Just wanna ask if, is this universal? I mean I have realme phone and planning to disable all the same apps/services which you were tried already.

So, this is a pseudo-custom rom you are after, why not use the real thing? I'm assuming this is Android 9 since 10 is a total f**k. Why not use the real thing, a custom rom? I recommend AOSiP Pizza since it's the one I've been using for a long time and it proved solid. The only thing I replaced was gallery with Simple gallery and I use MicroG for what it's worth. This removing stuff from gappsed AOSP is totally ridiculous and counter productive, you do that with Miui and such if you really care about a particular UI but not with plain Android, that's nonsense.

Found this useful tool on git last year.
It allows a lot of nice little things among which uninstall/reinstall/disable/enable system apps and services on demand without root and without passes through adb/fastboot command lines.
And it was tested with Q too.
Also feedback app was safely uninstalled.
Feel free to try it.
This is the link: https://github.com/Szaki/XiaomiADBFastbootTools
Read carefully readme.md and faq before use it.

How can I restore some critical packages under TWRP (MIUI11)? I'm testing limits of what can I delete without bricking it and reinstalling ROM every time after that is very tiresome (boot into recovery, wipe cache and data, reinstall MIUI, boot into system, remove tested apps, then restore settings and try again).
There has to be a proper way to restore some app like, for example, com.xiaomi.finddevice

Magisk + terminal debloater.
If you break it, use TWRP to fix.
Look under /data/adb/modules/terminal_debloater.

Yeah, I have debloater but I'm talking about doing it under TWRP when system isnt even loaded, debloater is a module that works in OS. In TWRP recovery your terminal is barebone core loaded by recovery itself, there is absolutely no relation to the system and apps installed, no ADB environment, no app [meta]data.

I meant to use debloater to hide the app and you can then fix it from TWRP if it doesn't work. You could always setup the files it uses from TWRP but I guess that'd be harder to do.
I don't know how adb uninstall hides but you should be able to reverse that from TWRP too (likely removing some files).
If you mount /system just move things and move them back if it fails.

How would I fix it?
Does the "debloater" make extra unnecessary copies of APK when those already exist on system partition?

No, it hides them systemlessly, using files in /data/adb/modules/terminal_debloater/system.
---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------
Based on this: https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
I tried this:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.carrierdefaultapp
and to restore:
cmd package install-existing com.android.carrierdefaultapp
What I found was that with the app installed, I had some empty directories under /data/misc/profiles/ref/com.android.carrierdefaultapp and /data/misc/profiles/cur/0/com.android.carrierdefaultapp. When I removed the app, those directories were not present.
It's just a guess... but you could possibly save the contents of /data/misc/profiles (eg. tar cf /sdcard/profiles.tar /data/misc/profiles), pm uninstall your app and if it fails to boot, untar that from TWRP? Maybe test that theory with an app you know won't hurt before you do it for real
Note that neither terminal debloater (which uses mount tricks to hide system apps) or pmuninstall will actually remove files from /system. If you actually remove files from /system then the only way to get them back is to put them back.

Google VR Services - Remove?

I believe you need root access to remove some essential google packages, even with adb. But I found you can uninstall some packages if you get the playstore package name. I can't post links yet but package name on Google Play is "Google VR Services"
or try
Code:
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.DELETE -d package:<your app package>
(find the VR package name and run that command)

Try these i was only able to remove daydream the others just freeze

You can move these files from its directories to a different storage in case you need to restore, then wipe data (not needed to format data/factory reset) then restart your device and see how it goes. I think it would be fine, not essential apps if you don't need them. Browsing with a root explorer and taking a copy (moving them this way) probably you will find more apps to get rid of.

I don't want to restore them as just using it for kid's for you tube and some loaded cartoons etc saved on micro SD card
I just want to remove them via adb but don't know the command when running PowerShell
Looking for these commands

Saving the apps in other place is just in case you have something like an annoying warning message, but this is just for a few minutes to check that all is fine.
To remove apps through ADB you can use this guide https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/ with this process really you are hiding the "head" of the app doing them unreachable (I assume your real interest) for the end user.

Remove -k (this preserve data and cache what you don't need) I guess you are not using the keys <>
Be sure that this is the name of package and run adb shell and then pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.email
or simply pm uninstall com.android.email This will remove the app from any user.
Also you have this GUI tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...mate-app-manager-debloat-tool-tweaks.4147837/
