*Couple Things to note:* Cheatsheet - www.christitus.com/debloat-android/ It is dangerous to remove system apps that you don't see in the app drawer. It can lead to you doing a full system recovery. On Non-Rooted phones some applications are installed as root and error with " [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]" - type this to bypass: adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 This will be able to delete most of the apps that you can't do by traditional means even if you don't root your phone. I do this on every android device and clean off a lot of junk I could only disable.

Obviously it's Clean Master. The holy grail of all apps. Plagued with ads and requires every permission going.

the production value of these videos is great! i also love your voice and this chill setting

This helped a ton on my old government smartphone. Came pre-installed with a bunch of useless or problematic apps and I was able to get rid of it all! Thanks!

Thank you so much for this! This is just what I needed. My new S21 is nice and clean thanks to you ❤️

Thank you, Chris. Very useful.

Thank you Chris for your support and dedication to all the communities! I'm a new sub to your channel... Shalom 👍

This is exactly the video I was looking for, thanks a lot

Thank you Chris for taking the time to do this.

This is so damn helpful. I've wanted to remove things like gmail and play movies that I don't use for the longest time, but I didn't want to have to root my phone. This is a godsend.

Hey Chris.. Big fan of your content! For tech enthusiasts who don't want to go to the lengths of rooting and flashing this is a pretty neat method to get rid of all OEM stock apps. However, the bypass mentioned by you for [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR] needed a little tweak to work on Windows cmd prompt -> adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 . Thanks again.. you rock!

Hey thanks Chris. It's really informative piece.

Awesome stuff! Thank you Chris.

Looking forward to the debloating of a Kindle Fire! Great stuff!

Thank You so much Titus. It is so much helpful for every android users.

I just bought an Amazon fire tablet for my wife and can't wait to see your video on it. I would also love to see you install the Google play store on the Amazon Fire tablet.

You're truly a live saver bud. Thank you!

Needed this! Thank you!

For non-rooted phones, the adb command after shell should be: "pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.your.app.name" Where com.your.app.name is the package name of the app that you want to uninstall.. Do remember that since the phone is NOT rooted, the uninstall is merely taking the app out of view of "user 0" space or the standard non-root user..

Thanks for the useful tutorial, some of facebook packages I wasnt abble to uninstall with simple command "adb uninstall" I had to use "adb shell pm uninstall --user 0". Hope it helps to somebody with same issues.

Top vid! Thank you Chris

Great bro, its amazing all that stuff, i knew on the bottom of my heart that, there was commands like theese to do thinks like this i guess that there is a lot of much more adb commands to different purposes

This video is awesome and helped me a lot. But I need to say two thing for Windows users like me. (1) "grip" just work at Linux. Te proper command line for Windows is the following: "adb shell pm list packages | findstr ". (2) To delete some apps you need to, first, use "adb shell". Then, "adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 " as Cornel Dutta mentioned in a comment here.

Very cool! I'm going to have to do this!

thank you for this you just helped me flash my phone to e/OS

Thank you, once again. You are right, the set up process is not very complicated, it's more confusing why other sources don't just describe the process straight away.

Another Great video...

Great guide.

Thank you man.😎🤘🤘

Awesome!

really helpful.

Greatly appreciate it!

I like this already before watching it 😊

Dude!! Seriously thank you for this. I had no idea you could do that without rooting. I will note that if you do it on windows, you will leave off the package: and in powershell pipe it our and replace grep with findstr -i when searching for appnames.

Neat! Just bought an Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet. Might debloat it ;)

Happy GURU purnima sir , u are my Guru ........ god bless u

good work bro

Hello there @Chris ! I followed your tutorial to uninstall Facebook from my Samsung A6+ using my Debian 10 Testing. At first I failed, but then I saw your comment. So I tried `adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.facebook.REST_OF_THE_NAME` from your comment and viola! Worked like a charm! :D

I have a moto x2 that I like alot is there anyway to use adb tools to flash a newer build onto it?

Thank you!

Thank you! I have a Samsung note 20 ultra on the way and I plan to debloat! I do have a paid app from the app store that does debloat. However I would much rather do it independently and out of the phone or tablet completely

Thank you!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH

porque no estaba suscrito antes a este canal??? que barbaridad

This was great. I have a bunch of old phones that I can probably now make use of thanks to this.. Any chance of a similar guide to rooting a phone?

Cool video.

love your videos. let us know when you have one for windows 10 (Speed Up any Android Phone or Tablet)

Thanks to you and debian, now I degoogled my phone without root

Man this is fun. I was testing this on my old samsung 7 edge

Hello, what Linux distribution are you using in this video?

thank you for the video. I tried the command on win10 "adb shell pm list packages | grep samsung" and i get 'grep' not recognized.

adb shell pm list packages | grep

This way of removing apps doesn't uninstall the system apps. It just disables them and you can enable them again with some command. If you watch XDA Developers video they also mention this

Thank you so very much Love from Pakistan

since i already have it I'll continue with titanium backup, but this would have been nice to know years back

is it save to removoe all the huawei service stuff? Anything i should not touch if iam a noob?

Awesome tool (y)

I'd love to use adb on my lg stylo 6, unfortunately, it shows nothing when I type adb devices. I tried installing the device driver, and there is no option for selecting charge mode / file transfer / etc.

Thank You. This is very helpful to me. I took some apps off that I don't use. Play Music is one of those because they stop using the service on this app. I don't read so I took these off as well. Let anyone know that this doesn't remove what inside of the locked system. When you restore your phone like new everything will be put back. You will have to remove those again.

Oh God, this is a God-sent thing! However, I could not get Facebook off of my Asus phone. Maybe I am doing something wrong? Maybe need to do it as Superuser? I always get the "Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]" error when trying to remove anything Facebook. For that matter, also got the same thing when I tried to remove Instagram. EDIT: Nevermind, I just noticed Chris' pinned comment about this error. Problem solved! Chris, my good sir. Thank you SO much for these tips! I've finally got rid of the junk without needing to go through the hassle of rooting my phone. I'm so happy, now!

I've got an old Samsung 7.0 Tab that is slow as all hell. I've rooted it and tried a myriad of custom android builds that purport to be minimalist but to no avail. I've even tried rolling back to factory settings. I'm starting to think it's not just a software issue. Is it possible there is something going on internally and the system is throttling to compensate for heat? I just can't rationalize how rolling the software back has no effect on a device with no moving parts. I suppose one day I'll consider the tablet a loss either way and try cracking it open and cleaning it / replacing thermal paste.

Nice vid

3:25 in some types of recovery (like twrp) you can use adb too

Hey Chris, can you make a tutorial on Android custom ROM? Like, what ROM to use, steps to install a ROM for newbies, how to avoid brick your device, etc?

Phillip Cyr when I entered "choco adb devices" in power shell, command returned "RF8N32K3NRL unauthorized". The phone's serial number + unauthorized. What did I do wrong. Phone is Samsung Galaxy A10 E.

GOOD VIDEO

Hi i, followed all steps and in ADB it even said success by ut the apps are still there on my Note9. What have I done wrong?

Help please! That didnt work well for me... most 'adb uninstall com.packagename' just got 'Failure' response and a lot of apps wasnt listed on the 'adb shell pm list packages'. I think i need to root the phone to uninstall those apps

thanks a lot, I also have a samsung and those things are full of bloatware, now it's a lot snappier!

Wow I'm so confused, I thought we were going to debloat my Samsung Android smartphone S 20! You were talking about things right from the beginning I had just no idea!

Hi Chris , really like your channel, helpful info for debloat , really simple explain , could u pls do an apple iPhone ios debloat version if possible ? And all the best for 2021.

is it possible to uninstall gapps and disable google services with this method? sametime is it possible to disable telemetry ?

so when i go to use "grep" command it says grep is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program

Can uninstalling any packages affect the ability to do a hard reset? I'm contemplating buying a Samsung phone and I would like to first uninstall all the Samsung bloatware. Will I still be able to hard reset and start from scratch if something breaks? Asking just in case.

This KZfaq video is awesome and thank you for the tips.I just can say you know what you doing.I use before Amiga did you use Amiga Computer.I bring up because you bring Linux( I love Fedora). This Video you are very good teacher,I like it. Thank you I really appreciate ;)

that grep command doesnt work for me on powershell, tried typing it in different combinations witht the spaces but it doesnt recognize it. Any thoughts?

every time I paste the script into my powershell, it immediately closes. please help. I"ve used your toolbox in past too. An old script worked but looked nothing like your walkthrough. the newest script does not open like stated above...powershell immediately closes.

I just purchased an Android pre-pay Orbic Wonder which will only ever be used at home on wifi. I had plugged it into my Linux Mint computer intending to just let it charge via USB, and was unexpectedly surprised that it popped up an Android icon on the screen. I can open up and transfer files between the two. Didn't expect that at all. But there are a few apps on the phone I'd certainly like to get rid of. Thanks for uploading this. Will try to see if I can make this work.

which desktop environment are you using?

Hi Chris! thanks for the video! I learned a lot and i made me think about an old problem I have with my galaxy buds and note 9. I would really appreciate if you could help or anybody in anyway, here it comes: I have been carrying this problem for 3 years (or about) and the thing is when I install tutu app(that famous chinese app to hack games) or the star wars apk to have the whole star wars theme, the volume of my buds decrease significantly (obviously I don't lower the volume), also last time this happened samsung health app was super glitchy. Of course Samsung only knows how to restore it or reinstall the firmware and nothing more (pretty useless) but I did discovered that it is usually fixed when reinstalling the firmware and applying no backups. Another fix which my girlfriend thought of was rebooting the phone in safe mode and erasing the cache data but it only worked for one day and back to low sound(I tried again but hasn't worked since, though it fixed Samsung Health). This video's method made me this there could be an error being generated in the memory which somehow messes things up inside... and may be possible to fix it without reinstalling firmware? If you Chris or anyone could think of a solution I'd really appreciate it! Cheers!

i like your this videos , but one problem that I need to know, if you can delete or unistall system application, can you convert the update applications in internal memory to a system without root application with the adb command ?

Can you make a video on installation of open source custom ROM. I know most people don't need that, but I'm using an old phone with Android 7 (still working like a beast) and would like to explore newer version of Android in it.

can you make a video for android 4.4.2 or it would be hard for you to get an android kitkat. I see it doesn't work on kitkat. tried it myself

New to all of this - is it possible to use ADB to do the following: Debloat, DeGoogle, install MicroG and retain full S-Pen functionality on a Samsung Note device?

When I do this on Linux Mint, I get the error message "adb shell pm list packages" I'm using an LG MS345 running Android 5.1.1. Any help, please?

The grep command didn't work (not recognized). Any suggestions?

New to this where and how to get this to work = choco install adb ?????

when I tried using the 'adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sec.android.app.samsungapps' command, I got : Error: Unknown option: --user. Can someone help me?

being i used W10 de-bloat script,is installing choc necessary,or is it a different version?

Hey Chris, what do you think about just completely wiping my fire tablet and installing a Linux phone distribution like plasma mobile or even Tizem? I really hate my fire tablet, it’s bloated with so much extra crap and really slow. Do you think that would work and be a good choice or should I just keep my fire tablet as is? Thanks!

I have a Vodafone locked phone I wish to remove the boot screen can it be done?

Please do an updated video on "How to Remove Viruses From Your Computer (2020 version)" Previous method still works well though....

Nice! But I get Failure on the uninstall packagename command; what do I type in on the shell uninstall command?

Chris, please tell me what console do you use in the movie?

I have a very old android tablet, can I make light and very fast?

i need to get chocolatey first. correct? which version for windows 10 proffesional?

Nice

I have a Sony Mobile telephone but it is full of shitty crappy bugger that I could not use it anymore. All completely useless bloatware was already switched off but it keeps on occupying the memory. I hope I can use this ADB to clean up the phone.

Hi. After listening to your tutorial I am thinking I will need to live with bloatware. But lets try a few questions and see if that helps. I have an LG. Under settings I do not have "about" but I have "about phone". I assume that is what you mean? Under this I do not have a "Build number" to tap 7 times on. I have a phone name if that is what you mean? but no build number. Can you help me at this point? Thanks

I get the error "grep : The term 'grep' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. etc" What am I doing wrong? :( I'm on Windows 10 PowerShell btw should I use some other command?
