Hello!
I have a Panasonic p55 novo running stock Android 4.4.2. It has a lot of Google bloatware which causes the phone to lag terribly. So once I tried to debloat it via setting up ADB and running command adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name >
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

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?

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
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/how-to-install-uninstalled-packages-t3894235
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.
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
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 ).
To really uninstall an app you'ld have to run
Code:
adb uninstall <package.name>
