[share] bloatware - uninstaller [no root] [adb]

(Found this tool in a youtube description box)
Basically this tool is used to uninstall any bloatware through adb, doesn't requires root access, doesn't block OTAs
Requirements: 1) This Tool - https://goo.gl/6qtRKR 2) ADB : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 3) USB DEBUGGING ENABLED 4) ES FILE EXPLORER (optional)
Just after setting up with usb debugging (tapping build number 7 times, going to developer options, enabling usb debugging), connect your phone to pc ensuring that adb setup is installed on your pc. Run the tool, enter the package name (of that apk) (using es file explorer)
Credits: Respected DEVELOPER(S) :good:

Tool doesn't need ADB separately as it is bundled with it.
For those who are suspicious about exe, download the BAT file(command script) from attachment. Place it in ADB folder and run it to get same functionality as the tool.

If we're removing bloat from /system, doesn't that mean we're messing with the ability to flash OTAs as the OTA checks for /system integrity and if it has been modified or not, doesn't it?
Please do correct me if I'm wrong

You are disabling apps. It doesn't affect OTA unless you make the system crash....

Disabling or removing because we can also disable apps from the Settings as well but if this is something different, please let me know

Extreme Debloat Guide! (root needed) *205 apps debloated*

Hello!
As im quite a big fan of keeping stuff clean and simple, i always try to debloat my devices heavily.
My Tab being no exlusion! As i tried to create a custom rom and didnt succeed i searched for other ways..
You might all know the "Package disabler Pro" app, which i used for quite some time but it only disables
apps and services.. But then i found quite a nice solution!
This nice magisk module! :highfive:
So here is how to use:
1. Install magisk
2. Launch magisk and search for "debloater" and install the module
3. Reboot
4. Open a terminal app of your choice (im using Termux) and type "su" to get root access
5. Type "debloat"
6. Now its up to you, either you
a) debloat yourself and type in "1" to debloat apps and "2" for priv-apps
b) take my exported debloat list (attached), and put it in /cache with a root explorer of your choice, and repeat step 4&5.
Then there is a new command for importing the config file, type i.
7. Reboot :angel:
8. (optional) Get SD Maid, go to settings and select the 3rd option (something like corpse finder) and tick all the categories.
Then run the first 2 free tasks in overview. There are a lot of leftover files that the system doesnt need anymore after the
corresponding apks have been removed, so the system will be must cleaner afterwards. :fingers-crossed:
With this method the apps get "uninstalled" magisk, which means only the apks will be hidden from the system.
One big advantage of this is, that one can always simply reenable all of the debloated apps, just untick the magisk module in
the magisk manager.
If you only want to get specific apks back, start terminal, su, debloat and type in 4 to reinstall uninstalled apps.
Feel free to ask me which apks you need for what kind of app. Im by no means a pro but ill try my best to help.
My debloat list *'should* be safe, didnt have any crashes or not working features after deleting. Just note that samsung account related
features such as samsung cloud or the keyboard wont work anymore since im rather a fan of google apps.
If you have anything to add or improve, just tell me and ill integrate it in the OP. :highfive:

Hi! Thanks for your work. For some reason the text file u provided is autodetected but then I receive invalid file message. Any idea why?

Thanks for posting this... I will give it a try when I'm rooted

Having some issue importing the file attached...
Code:
=========================================
Import Config ===========================
=========================================
Import from a txt file exported from this module
Be careful importing from unknown sources!
=========================================
/cache/import-debloat.txt detected! Leave blank and enter to use it.
Enter the directory of the import file
Example: /sdcard/import-debloat.txt
>
Importing from /cache/import-debloat.txt...
Invalid file
Done
Return to menu? < y | n >:

Do you happen to have a newer config? The current one posted no longer functions (is invalid format).

Samsung Galaxy J8 Debloat 226 Packages - NO ROOT (Android 9 Samsung)
github.com /minhthienmap/j8y18lte_stable_packages
Remove Space
I contribute more bloatware for android 9 in galaxy j8
But it similar to galaxy s10

Do you guys by any chance know which app is related to the "Secure startup" feature (which encrypts your device) so I don't disable it by accident?

Package Uninstall for non-rootable (locked bootloader) devices

Is there an Ultimate Debloat Guide via ADB without ROOT?

I'm getting a Oneplus 7T and so over the past week I researched debloating without Root. Here is what I have found:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/debloat-via-adb-root-t4018801
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/debloat-root-via-adb-t3946625
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
https://www.xda-developers.com/disable-system-app-bloatware-android/
I know the second link is in the OP7Pro forum so is it applicable to OP7T as well?
I also noticed this link that has three levels of debloating but does require Root:

Can the bloatware listed in the Invisable, Light, and Extreme scripts somehow be removed through ADB without Root?

I got my 7T last week too, i have removed / disabled some so said built in app by adb command method (without root). I think you don't need to worry about whether it is 7Pro or 7T. As long as the app are installed in your mobile and the command is correct it will be removed or disabled. otherwise nothing will be changed (i.e. rejected)
Can the bloatware listed in the Invisable, Light, and Extreme scripts somehow be removed through ADB without Root?[/QUOTE]
I think you can download those zip files, unzip and cross check which app(s) you don't need and do it in ADB mode.
if you want to see all the apk in your 7T, you can type
pm list packages

Got it. Thank you for the reply!

Thanks! Can I still install OTA updates after I debloat stock ROM and with Magisk installed? Or do I need to re-install all the debloated apps and uninstall Magisk everytime I want to do an OTA update?

After debloating yes, that's completely ok. OTA's work, and you don't have to uninstall/disable apps again after update. It's nice.
But with Magisk you're implying that you unlocked your bootloader and rooted your ROM, right?
When you do that, I think you don't get OTA's anymore.. even on Stock MIUI ROM. It would just show "Up-to-date" and not give you any updates. Atleast that was the case with my Samsung phone! I think the bootloader needs to be locked?

If youre rooted i'd install Titanium backup and uninstall useless apps.

Titanium Backup is outdated, and some of its features don't work properly anymore. Check Play Store Reviews
