{Guide} Fix yellowish display aka night-light [rootless and magisk] ＼(◎o◎)／

~Fix nightlight in MIUI~
For what is it?
Sometimes it happens that the Google setup activates the "classic" Nightlight mode from AOSP.
This one doesn't work like MIUI handles this feature.
This means that deactivation via the settings is not possible and your display will get every day to same time yellowish.
Will I have to do this after every new installation?
No, when you use the backup function from Google it will sync this settings and bug is fixed until you restore a old google backup or one from a other phone.

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:
adb shell
sh /sdcard/bloat.sh.txt

Pasting the package list into adb shell worked like a charm, except for root/admin apps, but it got most of them, thank you

Thank you, more for the comments

You can use my script from here https://github.com/invinciblevenom/debloat_samsung_android I have updated the list of apps.

Removing inbuilt app so that it will not comeback even after factory reset.

I understand that I can remove packages via ADB, but the apk still reside inside ./system, thus still occupying space. Also these apps will comeback when I do a factory reset. How do I remove such packages safely.

A Factory Reset doesn't touch Android's /system partition, it simply restores /data partition ( AKA user-space ) to state when device has been brought to the market, means wiping it clean of any personal data & apps installed by user included.
If the packages you have in mind are installed in /system partition then they only can get removed when Android is rooted.
You can check whether a package is an user-app or not by running
Code:
adb devices
adb shell "pm list-packages -3"
To check whether a package is a system-app or not you run
Code:
adb devices
adb shell "pm list-packages -s"
If you want to uninstall the user-apps for Android's default user ( user-id 0 ) in one go then you may do it by means of a Windows batch file:
Code:
adb devices
for /F "tokens=2 delims=:" %%a in ('adb shell "pm list-packages -3"') do (
set "pkg_name=%%a"
if not "?%pkg_name%"=="?" (
adb shell "pm disable-user --user 0 %pkg_name%"
timeout /t 2 /nobreak >nul
rem uninstall user-app by app package name
adb shell "pm uninstall --user 0 %pkg_name% "
)
)
exit
what requires ADB is systemwide accessible.

HI,
I don't have any user apps. My phone has a lot of bloat, like builtin games, several google apps like play-music;news;books;street view, etc and some other apps. I'd like to remove them so I can use that extra space.
Also on linux.

What Android version you have?
What output you get if you run
Code:
adb shell "ls -al /dev/block/by-name"

Android version 5.0
adb shell "ls -al /dev/block/by-name"
reurned
/dev/block/by-name: No such file or directory

To remove system apps and/or system-privileged apps your phone's Android must be rooted.

Android 5 ? That's pretty old version. Why don't you upgrade to Android 9 or 10 ?
You have to mount system and debloat it. Good luck

DeGoogling

Hi
I used to use Cyanogenmod on my phones years ago and want to DeGoogle my Samsung A12. CF-ROOT is what I always used and Odin but It's not supported and seems to be depreciating. What Is the way forward now as I don't think Lineage does anything like a rom for this phone. I've gone for this phone because It's easy to get the back off and disconnect the battery easily.
Can you help?
Kind Regards
Graeme

You may manually - or programmatically by a script that makes use of ADB-commands - remove / uninstall all of Google's services and apps ( read: GMS ) what are put inside the running Android system. You can't do that unless you have the permissions level of the system itself - means ROOT, and you can't remove / uninstall files that are in use.
Example of a Degooglefy script
Code:
adb devices
adb root & adb shell "stop"
for /F "tokens=2 delims=:" %%a in ('adb shell "pm list packages | grep 'google'"') do (
set "pkg=%%a"
if NOT [%pkg%]==[] (
adb uninstall %pkg%
)
)
adb shell "start"
adb reboot

Problem is I don't know how to achieve root to this device since I always previously used CF-ROOT sadly depreciated. I've unlocked the bootloader and have odin but no further forward.

If anyone can help me root and get another software on this phone I'll donate/ pay , whatever. I'm sick of having Google running in the background and CF-ROOT is now depreciated, sadly.
