In this video I'll show you how to uninstall any app on your Android phone to debloat it, without needing root access.
Don't forget - ALWAYS BACKUP ALL YOUR STUFF BEFORE FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE!!
Links to latest version of ADB:
Windows:
dl.google.com/android/reposit...
Mac:
dl.google.com/android/reposit...
Linux:
dl.google.com/android/reposit...
Links to my debloat lists:
drive.google.com/drive/folder...
Here are the commands for anyone too lazy to click the links above:
To disable but not uninstall (Useful if testing or if you are unsure if you should delete an app):
pm disable-user --user 0 ******
To re-enable:
pm enable --user 0 ******
To permanently delete (System apps usually require factory reset to restore, so BE CAREFUL!):
pm uninstall --user 0 ******
Install command:
pm install-existing --user 0 ******
And lastly: ALWAYS BACKUP ALL YOUR STUFF BEFORE FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE!!

A big thank you! I had MMI Group app installed on my new Samsung A7 tablet and it had basically every permission granted (all files, camera, microphone, like 52 permissions) . No option to remove it or even disable it in settings. Did lots of research and apparently only Samsung devices manufactured in the caribbean have it preinstalled (I'm in the UK). I wanted it gone because I didn't trust my tablet with that app having all those permissions. Its gone now!! Now I'm gonna go get rid of the preinstalled microsoft junk too.

Another Firefox Mobile user, we are a rare breed, keep it up. Also I'm still on a Galaxy S7 lol, it's an amazing phone, maybe not the most private but I've got a pixel 5 with GrapheneOS for testing & demos really. But for personal use my main phone is still the S7 which works great. Maybe when the pixel 7 comes out I'll switch to that so I can actually have good security & privacy instead of my patchwork privacy mods on this phone, my issue is the pixel 6 is just way too big.

My DEX app no longer works. Which app in the Note 20 Ultra Remove List drives the DEX app? The DEX app generates a desktop GUI when I connect my Note 20 Ultra to my TV. I have deleted the DEX app by mistake and what is not making it easy to fix is how the Remove List has no app listed that includes the word DEX. I hope somebody can clarify to me what app name the DEX app is subordinate to.

In the description you say to type pm uninstall --user 0 ****** but then in the video you type and say to type pm uninstall -k --user 0 ****** So which one is it? You did the same with the disable directions, in the description you said pm disable-user --user 0 ****** but in the bloatware list you said pm disable-user --user 0 ****** Again, which one do we use? And when we disable it do we disable it via the factory provided disable button, your way, both, or doesn't matter? Why disable the app before uninstalling it? I first disabled it via disabling it on the phone but then when i tried to uninstall it the Windows Powershell didn't respond when I would hit enter. Why?

@NearFarMedia 3 жыл бұрын

If you uninstall the wrong thing it will cause problems, but it won't brick your phone. All you have to do it enter recovery (google how for your particular phone) and do a factory reset and you'll have a working phone. Just restore from the backup you took before you started and it'll be fixed. the ADB drivers etc are just for accessing the phone to bypass restrictions, they won't help with app functionality.
