How to remove bloatwares and preloaded apps?

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?

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

I was able to remove a few but these 3 are giving this error:

I'm getting error message -

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.

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???

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!

[UNLOCK bootloader, and flash ROM with ROOT] Huawei MediaPad M5 Pro - EMUI 9.1 - 2021

Intro:
- As usual, following this guide is by your own risk and responsability
- After hours searching the web I have painfully seen how the scene seems to be so spread and freak these days. Plus there are lots of scams and **** webs floating everywhere, more even than space debris.
- I have not found any good guide to root the Huawei Mediapad M5 Pro. Most of them are old + bad.
- My model is CMR-AL19, C432 with EMUI 9.1
Instructions:
1. unlock bootloader
1.1. Check PotatoNV wiki to get the unlock bootloader code:
Download PotatoNV (or download from the link below)
Install HUAWEI USB COM drivers: (download from the link below, or this link)
Install ADB (from google or also download from the link below)
1.2 Remove the cover from the device: heat it with a hairdryer and carefully peel cover around the perimeter using a plastic card (video)
Turn off the device and unplug the USB cable
Short test point and iron shield on the motherboard
Connect the device to the computer, after a couple of seconds jumper can be removed
Make sure there’s nothing on the device’s screen if a charging animation appears go to step 4
1.3 Launch PotatoNV and select HUAWEI USB COM 1.0 in the device list (should be filled automatically)
Select bootloader: kirin 960
Unlock code - this is the future bootloader code. copy and keep it for later.
Press the Start button. Let PotatoNV to finish
1.2. unlock bootloader with fastboot
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
wait until the tablet reboots in recovery mode
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock <unlock code from PotatoNV>
2. flash treble ROM (https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Huawei-MediaPad-M5-Pro)
2.1. download treble ROM:
Android 10: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_...nload/v222/system-quack-arm64-ab-gapps.img.xz
Android 9: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_...download/v123/system-arm64-ab-gapps-su.img.xz
2.2 factory reset
Perform a factory reset on your device: Settings -> System -> Reset -> Reset tablet
Optionally: Reboot to your device’s stock recovery using either a button combination when booting or issuing the following ADB command when booted in Android:
adb reboot recovery
Once here, use the volume keys to navigate and the power button to select the factory reset option.
2.3 Flash ROM
Once your device has been factory reset, reboot to your device’s bootloader using either a button combination when booting or issuing the following ADB command when booted in Android:
adb reboot bootloader
With your device connected to your PC, open up a command prompt or terminal window in the same directory where you downloaded your GSI of choice.
fastboot devices
fastboot erase system
Enter a command in the following format:
fastboot --unbuffered flash system system-quack-arm64-ab-gapps.img
Allow the image to flash, will take 2 minutes. Once it has completed, reboot your device either manually via power key or by entering:
fastboot reboot
3. skip all configuration. ignore any error. reboot in recovery mode
adb reboot recovery
4. wipe cache and, again, factory reset. Configure as usual. Be sure to add the SIM when asked.

Thanks for doing this. But I wonder: will this procedure work on a wifi-only model SHT-W09 running on EMUI 8.0.0?

I don't know
You can try to get the unlock code with PotatoNV (step 1.1), which is harmless and then decide. Also the old guides are probably good for your EMUI version.

Thanks for the guide, just unlocked my CMR-W09. I can confirm that the CM AL19 build does work for the W09 with a couple modifications

Hi!
I was trying to follow your guide, but opening the cover was too hard for me.
Originally my motivation to unlock the bootloader was to install Lineage OS, and then to install Google Services.
I have tried numerous methods to do so, but somehow they did not work for MediaPad M5 Pro, due to EMUI version or recent security patches.
However, I have managed to install Google services by accident.
I almost gave up, and decided to install at least a decent browser (Brave).
I found it on APKPure.
It is a kind of a third party package manager.
To install Brave I needed to install the package manager first.
APKPure APK Downloader for Android Wear, Phones, Tablets, TV
Download and update the latest Android™ Apps apk in APKPure, the best free Android APK Downloader online right at apkpure.com. Come and join APKPure's clan.
m.apkpure.com
Brave got installed, but to my surprise I could also find Youtube app on APKPure.
When I installed Youtube, APKPure package manager have installed Google Play Store as well!
With Google Play I could install all the other apps, I needed.

Hi, just wondering did you have any luck with this PotatoNV method for SHT-W09?

I can confirm that this works for the CMR-AL09 also.
The only problem I had, was with opening up the device.
I had to use a thin metal object to get under the screen at first.
Oh, and then I had to search around to find out why I could not find my device using ADB...
REMEMBER TO ACTIVATE USB DEBUGGING in Developer options

I'm want to use this method on my M5 SHT-W09 8.4” I've got the screen off, that wasn't too hard, but I can't find the testpoint. I've searched the web but can't find a good image for this particular device. Does anyone know where the testpoint is for this device?

I guess this is the testpoint on your device, as it looks different than on mine: Huawei-MediaPad-M5-SHT-AL09-SHT-W09-Testpoint.jpg

Hello !
Thanks for the tutorial, it worked great for my CMR W09 which was running these specs :
Code:
dir>fastboot oem get-bootinfo
(bootloader) unlocked
dir>fastboot oem get-product-model
(bootloader) CMR-W09
dir>fastboot oem get-build-number
(bootloader) :CMR-W09 9.1.0.360(C432E6R1P3)
dir>fastboot oem oeminforead-SYSTEM_VERSION
(bootloader) :CMR-W09 9.0.1.160(C432E3R1P3)
dir>fastboot getvar vendorcountry
vendorcountry: hw/eu
I installed the Android 9 version then the Android 10, worked perfectly fine for both. I indeed inputed the commands suggested by thorgan3. For those who have wondered when and how to input such commands, I followed the steps 1 and 2 and then I turned usb debugging ON and enterred the following instructions :
Code:
dir>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.phone
dir>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.providers.blockednumber
dir>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.bookmarkprovider
dir>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.calllogbackup
dir>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.carrierdefaultapp
dir>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.emergency
dir>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.providers.userdictionary
though I still had to uninstall com.android.phone through SDmaid
You can also finish cleaning up the ROM for the Wifi only models by putting :
Code:
dir>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.server.telecom
dir>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.providers.telephony
And after all that I finally prompted the next line to pursue tutorial with step 3 :
Code:
dir>adb reboot recovery
I strongly suggest that anyone tempting this maneuver should download an official stock ROM of the model and region of his device. To do so, as huawei revoked access to any of those, I factory reseted my tablet beforehand and connected it to the mobile hotspot of my computer. Using Wireshark I was able to snif the wifi my computer was connected to and hence get back the url (which was beginning with
Spoiler
"http://update.dbankcdn.com/download....."
I hope everyone succeed in their attempt.

It says root in the title, but I couldn't find any further explanation.
Is an up to date version of Magisk included in one of these GSIs?

The ROM themselves are rooted

Hi!
Is this guide still valid today for a SHT-W09 EMUI 8.0.0 (C567) with bootloader unlocked? (I still have the unlock code).
Thanks!

Hey, did anyone manage to solve the issue with formatting a sd-card as extended phone storage? For me its quite necessary to use my sd-card for that (netflix, spotify and so on) and it doesnt work. The issue is already described here: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/issues/1638, for now there is no solution.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
i have an CMR-AL19 here. but unfortunately the google accoount (FRP) is blocked and USB debugging is not activated. Can I use this method to remove the FRP and flash a stock rom again?
Thank you

Netflix and a lot of other streaming apps will NOT work on rooted devices.
They block them as you can actually record the streams on rooted devices.

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!
