Debloat System Apps Without Root - Moto Z2 Force Guides, News, & Discussion

This Guide Assumes You Know How To Use ADB, And Already Have Access To It. You Can Possibly Mess Up Your Phone Disabling The Wrong Thing, And I'm Not Liable For Any Damage, Including Missing Your Anniversary Dinner Due To Alarm App Being Disabled =P.
Plus Side? A Factory Reset Will Fix It.
Step One :
Download Android Platform Tools (ADB/Fastboot)
https://ln.sync.com/dl/984ab7480/azzmqpk8-8km5ysir-6fz7v9rz-mvfu2tqf
Step Two :
Enable USB Debugging
--Settings, About Phone, Tap Build Number 5 Times,
Go To "Developer Options", And Enable USB Debugging.
Step Three :
Download Application Inspector
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ubqsoft.sec01&hl=en
Step Four :
Extract The ZIP File From Step One. Open
The Directory, Hold Down Shift, Right Click, And Click
"Open Command Prompt Here".
Step Five:
Unlock Your Phone And Plug In Into Your PC, Then Type
"adb devices" (without quotes) Into The Command Prompt.
On Your Phone, Check "Always Allow" On Your Phone, And
Then Okay.
Step Six : type "adb shell" (without quotes)
---------------------------------
Here's Where The Debloating Begins.
---------------------------------
Once you type adb shell, you'll start using commands to
disable apps "permanantly". Instead of disabling them, and
them coming back when you do play store updates. This
has worked with anything i've thrown at it so far. Using
application inspector (linked above), to get the package
name, you'll then type in the command below to "remove"
that package from the current user. when done, reboot.
"pm uninstall -k --user 0 PACKAGE_NAME"
------------------------------------------
original thread with this method from the G5 Plus
forums. linked below. i didn't come up with this method,
but it works well on our phones. pics coming when i get
home, to help others out. i'll probably rewrite this to make
it cleaner as well
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/amazon-ads-removal-moto-g5-t3598515

no luck. I need to disable voicemail, carrierhub, callerID but it gaves me en error "Failure"

I am rooted Stock Android 8.0 Sprint
and this actually worked for me
Make sure you have Root, I can not guarantee it works without it.
1st) VERY important) Make sure to activate the phone and let Sprint install all the garbage bloatware all the way, it can take a good half an hour
Make sure your wifi calling and all your sprint stuff works and your phone is fully activated otherwise you will end up with SPRINT ID download error 400 and the only way to get rid of that is with FACTORY RESET.
2) use a batch uninstaller app and remove all the garbage users app in one shot , close to 18 of them
Restart and follow the above
USB Debug enabled
ADB Shell
and copy paste the following lines from my list below
reboot and done,
Sprint ID did not reinstall the bloatware again.
be careful it is case sensetive!

This worked great. Planning on removing bloat as the days go on.

Can anyone please confirm if this works on unrooted stock firmware?. I am unable to make whatsapp calls because Sprinthub keeps terminating it.
Please if anyone has better idea of debloating Sprint crap, then let me know.
thanks

I have a XT1789-06 (Indian) and i use this method to debloat my Moto Phones (Moto Z , Moto Z2 Force , Moto Z Play) all running on stock and locked BL. This works quite well to uninstall apps (such as Moto Voice , Motorola SLPC System , Checkin , Device Management etc.. )
It doesn't have any carrier specific app , but it should succeed .

Debloating the t590 stock rom

For those that want to slim down what's running on your 590 stock rom, this is a starter list I just created.
It's by no means comprehensive, let's hope people can add to it and we'll eventually have a good list people can use if they desire.
Please note, you are doing this at your own risk, meaning some packages, once removed, may affect the device such that it can't be booted! Then the only solution is to restore to factory defaults. So don't just go willy nilly uninstalling things without any idea what they do!
So the first thing I did was run:
Code:
adb shell pm list packages -f
This will list all packages and their associated file. There are additional options which show only disabled or enabled etc. But this gave me all I needed.
This next command will uninstall the package for user "0", since most of us only have one user with the device, it's all we need. Keep in mind, the package is still on the drive (taking up space), but it's not installed, so there won't be any notices about updating it etc.
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.chrome
The above will (obviously) remove the chrome browser, which is something I always do, and install lineage Jelly browser. Just my preference - it's much more minimalist and I rarely use a browser on a tablet anyway.
** IF ** you do uninstall something and later want it back, one option (other than factory reset) would be the 'Solid Explorer' on the playstore, it can look at 'root' and reinstall packages.
Lastly, be sure to understand, I'm not telling anyone to do anything, you do any of this at your own risk. Don't blame me if you uninstall a package and then later it messes up your system. I'm merely suggesting this is something you can do, if you want to take on the risk.
That said, this is a list of packages I uninstalled using a linux bash script. My device booted properly afterwards and all is behaving normally, also I think it cut my installed apps almost in half! When I did the update to the latest security patch it optimized 66 apps! That's way too much for a minimalist like me, I don't need anywhere near that many apps installed.
Here's the list, again, use at your own risk;

The term 'pm' 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.

[GUIDE] Stock FW: rooted, debloated, storage encryption, G-Pay, S-Health, Wearable

This guide was made for those who own Exynos S9, like the stock firmware with some exceptions (bloatware) and would like to use Google Pay and Galaxy Wearable with Samsung Health even while KNOX was tripped.
The guide works for Samsung firmware based on Android 9 and 10.
In this guide we're going to modify stock S9 firmware in a way that:
all bloatware incl. Bixby is completely removed,
storage encryption works,
Google Pay works,
Galaxy Wearable and Samsung Health works,
Bixby button is mapped to whatever you want it to.
NOTE 1: We're not going to use TWRP in this guide. TWRP disables storage encryption on Samsung devices as it is not supported yet, allowing everyone who'll lay his hands on your phone to get your private data easily.
NOTE 2: This guide is based on information found on XDA Developers Forum, I simply merged things together.
What is needed:
Galaxy S9 (should work for other Samsung phones too),
computer running Linux and/or Windows (Windows is actually needed only for fast firmware download using SamFirm and for that it can be installed in a VM. If you have a better method to fetch the firmware - use it instead),
Heimdall/Odin, Android Tools, proper drivers (if you're under Windows),
USB-C cable,
stock firmware in version you're interested in (preferably current release),
Magisk and Magisk Manager downloaded from the official page,
terminal .apk of your choice,
SQL editor .apk of your choice.
Guide is divided into following parts:
Obtaining and installing stock firmware,
Rooting the device,
Debloating,
Making Google Pay work,
Fixing OS losing Bluetooth pairing after reboot,
Making Galaxy Wearable and Samsung Health work,
Remapping Bixby button.
PART I - Obtaining and installing stock firmware
Download the firmware, since fw.udpato.com doesn't allow fast downloads without viewing potentially malicious ads or purchasing premium, use the good old SamFirm tool which still works well: link.
SamFirm requires Windows (can be a VM). Windows 10 should prompt you for installing missing libraries, in case it doesn't make sure that you have all the required .NET libs installed:
Link 1
Link 2
Extract the firmware, If you're going to use Odin simply unzip the file, if you're going to use Heimdall you need the .bin and .img files, on Linux the following will do the trick:
Code:
unzip SM-G960F_1_20190806183240_zbnoluw1xu_fac.zip -d firmware && cd firmware
for f in *.tar.md5; do tar xvf $f; done
lz4 -dm *.lz4
rm -f *.tar.md5 *.lz4
Boot the phone into download mode by pressing Volume Down + Bixby + Power.
For Odin skip this step. Obtain the partition table layout:
Code:
heimdall print-pit > phone.pit
grep 'Partition\ Name\|Flash\ Filename' phone.pit
Flash the firmware, in Odin simply select proper .zip files. If you're going to use Heimdall check the output from the command above and use Partition Name value as an option, f.e. --BOOTLOADER and put the corresponding Flash Filename right after, f.e. sboot.bin. Use only pair where both Partition Name and Flash Filename exist, also the file from Flash Filename should be part of the extracted FW - if it's not, skip it (f.e. ect.bin). In some cases you will have to replace .img extension with .bin and the other way round. The final command should look like:
Code:
sudo heimdall flash --BOOTLOADER sboot.bin --PARAM param.bin --UP_PARAM up_param.bin --CM cm.bin --KEYSTORAGE keystorage.bin --BOOT boot.img --RECOVERY recovery.img --SYSTEM system.img --VENDOR vendor.img --DQMDBG dqmdbg.img --USERDATA userdata.img --RADIO modem.bin --CP_DEBUG modem_debug.bin --CACHE cache.img --OMR omr.img --ODM odm.img --HIDDEN hidden.img
Double check before executing the command.
When reboot is complete perform initial configuration of your phone. You can safely skip all the setup options except Wi-Fi access (Internet access is needed for fetching Magisk but instead you can copy required files over a wire) - phone will reset to factory defaults later anyway.
PART II - Rooting the device
Enable developers mode.
From the previously extracted Firmware copy the boot.img as well as Magisk Manager .apk files to your phone's storage, f.e. to Download folder.
Install Magisk Manager using .apk file.
From the Magisk Manager app select Install Magisk and point it to boot.img file.
Magisk will create the magisk_patched.img file. Copy it to your computer.
Reboot your phone to download mode again.
Flash the patched boot partition:
Code:
sudo heimdall flash --BOOT magisk_patched.img
The device will reboot afterwards.
You will be notified that the integrity check failed and reset is required - go on with that.
PART III - Debloating
When reboot is done perform the initial setup of your phone. Logging into Google Play is required - we will need SQL Editor. Wait for all the apps to install.
Enable developers mode.
In Developer options enable USB debugging.
On your computer start the ADB shell:
Code:
adb shell
Get rid of bloatware by entering these commands (or copy-pasting actually) into the shell:

Reboot the device, just in case.
PART IV - Making Google Pay work
Install Magisk Manager just like you did previously. Confirm that the device is rooted.
Install terminal, f.e. Termux (you can use adb shell from your computer instead if you prefer it, it's still good to have a terminal on your phone, just in case) and SQL editor, SQLite Database Editor works well.
Run SQL editor. When asked to provide root privileges select once (you should always use that option) and confirm.
From the menu pane select File explorer and navigate do /data/data/com.google.android.gms/databases.
Open dg.db file and change value in column c of any item that has attest in its name to 0.
Run terminal. Execute the following commands to make dg.db file read-only:
Code:
su
cd /data/data/com.google.android.gms/databases
chmod 440 dg.db
Reboot the device, Google Pay will work from now on, just remember to hide Magisk from it in the Magisk Manager.
PART V - Fixing OS losing Bluetooth pairing after reboot
Samsung is using secure storage to keep Bluetooth pairing secure. The problem is that on a rooted phone this storage will always get wiped on phone reboot. There is no nice way (at least I wasn't able to find it) which makes it work however it is possible to disable secure storage on boot using Magisk Manager module.
Open Magisk Manager.
From menu (top left corner) select Downloads, find the libsecure_storage companion for rooted Samsung devices and install it.
Tap the Restart button to reboot your device.
PART VI - Making Galaxy Wearable and Samsung Health work
This part can be handled simply by going to terminal, escalating privileges with su and executing the following command:
Code:
sed -i 's/ro.config.tima=1/ro.config.tima=0/g' /system/build.prop
The disadvantage of this method is that it will have to be executed after every update. The better alternative is to use Magisk Manager plugin for props configuration.
Open Magisk Manager. If it asks for some tasks to complete, allow it.
From menu (top left corner) select Downloads, find the Busybox for Android NDK and MagiskHide Props Config modules and install them both. Reboot.
When anothe reboot is done, launch terminal and escalate your privileges with su.
From command line run props tool, which is used to modify /system/build.prop file.
Select 4 to add custom props, n for new prop. Type in ro.config.tima, confirm and provide value 0. Confirm with y and again with y to reboot the phone.
Install Galaxy Wearable and Samsung Health from the Galaxy Store. Don't launch anything yet.
Now go to Magisk Manager and hide Magisk from Samsung Health, Galaxy Wearable and Galaxy Watch Plugin.
Reboot the device, configure your watch and confirm that the Samsung Health app works.
PART VII - Remapping Bixby button
Remapping Bixby button can be achieved either by modifying keyboard layout manually or by installing Bixby button remapper module in Magisk Manager. Second option is preferred as it doesn't require modifying files on '/system' partition and will survive system updates.
Method 1: manual modification
Run terminal (or adb shell) and escalate your privileges with su.
Remount /system partition as read-write:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
Navigate to /system/usr/keylayout:
Code:
cd /system/usr/keylayout
Edit the Generic.kl file:
Code:
vi Generic.kl
Go to key 703 - that's the one responsible for the Bixby key. Set the action you want for the key - it's written in capital letters. Look throughout the file for action you're interested in. Some examples: VOLUME_MUTE, MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE, CAMERA, MUSIC, ASSIST.
Code:
key 703 VOLUME_MUTE
Save the file and exit editor wq).
Remount /system partition as read only:
Code:
mount -o remount,ro /system
Reboot the phone.
Method 2: Magisk Manager module
Launch Magisk Manager.
Pick Downloads from menu.
Find the Bixby button remapper module and install it.
Follow on-screen instructions.
Tap the Restart button to reboot the phone.
Amazing guide! Thanks! One question though. Do you have to have the bootloader unlocked to do it? I know you can flash "official" images with Odin without unlocking the bootloader , but will rooting the boot.img trip knox?
Thanks for this amazing effort, question, Secure Folder will work or no?
Oh interesting and what about samsung pay? Thanks for the break down, im sure it will be useful for alot.

Thank you for this thread.
Do this work with android 10?
You didn't mention that OEM unlock is needed. Can we do this without unlocking OEM?

Hey @Hekarath, same questions here.
@TheXGX, work on Android 10.
You need root to edit system files, so oem unlock os needed.
@Hekarath, If I backup "dg.db" file after edit and format my system... If I replace file and set chmod will work?
Just as a warning to some users - there are a ton of useful apps in the debloat list - especially the Samsung section. Double-check that you wont use it before you disable.
Thank you!
Thank you very much for taking the time and writing this tutorial :good: It saved my life
ADDITION
8. Reboot the device. Go to Apps and clear the data/cache of the following three apps:
- Galaxy Wear
- Galaxy Watch Plugin
- Samsung Health
9. Only after that set up your watch the first time!
thxxxx for your work!
Still working?
Can someone confirm that this method still works on the newest firmware? (one ui 2.5)
Will this work on Galaxy tab S2 8.0 LTE?
Particularly, Samsung Health, Galaxy wearable to pair with the Galaxy Watch.
I can tell you all that this post is still excellent today april 2022!! Thank you! On Samsung S9 Android 10.

How to get rid of the Mi Bloatware pre-installed without flashing/root?

As per title guys, is it possible? I'm ABSOLUTELY unable and I'm bit afraid honestly, to play with root, flash and so on.
I confess that before to write this tread I've googled around and I found out a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIMPaKFfadI
The indian guy says to install a program which remove this Mi bloatwares in my Mi9T Pro.
But the link in his video description is without .jar nor .exe file, therefore absolutely useless.
I don't know, maybe I should bite the bullet and go on with the rooting. :silly:
But I have few questions:
1) Does the rooting will void the warranty? How are the policies at Mi Corporation?
2) Does the wiping of the Mi Apps help the phone performances? I can't complain honestly but, I don't know, is normal seeing an important RAM usage (only 35-40% is free). I have installed only 15 apps that I really need. Is that normal?
3) With the imminent Android 10 and new version of Miui, the uninstalled Mi apps will be reinstalled automatically or, worst case scenario, since they have been removed it will affect any system update?
I think this is all. Please forgive me if I have just opened a double tread (I couldn't find another similar one).
Thanks a lot guys!
First of all, RAM is there to be used, not to be empty. So a fairly high RAM usage is completely normal under Android.
If you install an upgrade, some apps might come back, but it can also cause issues when upgrading.
Here a manual for the Mi 9, I think it's very similar with the 9T, but I never tested it.

Step to debloat K20 pro
Uninstall any apps you can from the phone like Facebook, Paytm, etc.. Now install a custom launcher and sms app of you choice (i prefer nova launcher prime and sms organizer). This step is important.
Now enable developer options and turn on usb debugging. Connect the phone to the PC and open cmd in platform-tools folder.
Now type adb devices and make sure the devices is connected correctly.
Now type
Code:
adb shell
this will open up the adb shell. Now copy and paste the below commands and press enter.
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.micloud.sdk
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.gallery
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.videoplayer

Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools
https://github.com/Saki-EU/XiaomiADBFastbootTools
Very simple and easy to use.
So guys, I used the program and removed some native apps from xiaomi (app vault, music player, video player, etc). I don't remember removing any services like micloud or sync. Will I have a problem updating the system?
Who knows. Probably not, but only the future can tell.

Have you done Something else ? Because all apps listed in Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools are supposed to be completly harmless to remove.
Also even though I haven't tried it yet, there is a "Reinstaller" tab in Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools, I guess it does what you ask for (can't check right now, I'm at work).
Actually I think you can simply replace the word uninstall with install in the guide and they should be installed again.

Hi,
thanks for this post but I see there are some redundant lines (com.miui.videoplayer is doubled) and some other which seems be not related to Xiaomi (i.e. com.google.android.videos; com.mi.android.globalFileexplorer; com.mi.android.globallauncher). I'm wondering if I can choose what I want to delete. In fact I don't think I will even touch those "android" lines.
Anyway I have 5 main questions:
1) As I said may I customize what I want to rid off? Because actually I want just remove the browser, notes, mi video, calendar, music, gallery.
2) Regarding the calendar, I notice that there is no way to set the google calendar as default. When I click on the date the Mi calendar comes up. If I unisitall the Xiaomi Calendar will be the Google one default automatically?
3) In the next update (Android 10 or Miui 11) I will find again the bloatware that I've uninstalled?
4) Will the warranty be void?
5) If I will make a disaster a factory reset will save my ass?
Bonus question: do the removing of all or some these bloatwares help the phone to be more performant, quick, in other words better? I should expect less usage of ram and more free space?

No.
You were supposed to :
1) download the zip file "XiaomiADBFastbootTools-6.6.2-Win.zip" you can find here (assuming you are a Windows user) : https://github.com/Saki-EU/XiaomiADBFastbootTools/releases/tag/6.6.2
2) Extract the zip file wherever you want.
3) Install Java : https://java.com/en/download/
4) Double-click on "XiaomiADBFastbootTools.jar" like you would for an exe file.
That's it.

I would like to get removed only the browser, the note, mi video, gallery, cleaner.
but I'm worrying that since these are embedded in the phone we could even remove but soon or later they will return with a system update.
and, but this is my opinion, it's not worth remove in the way that you can't wipe out completely...they will stand as broken bridge somewhere in the phone (swipe up and chech the app opened, above there is "manage app" icon and "cleaner" app too, this app is in the launcher. Even if we click on it and won't happen anything it will be still there).
Understand what I mean guys?

Exploring -DeGoogle ATT Prepaid Moto G7 Play without unlocking boot loader or root

Original date of post: 09.16.2021
saig0n
USING LINUX SPECIFIC REFERENCES (Debian10)
Phase One: Create baseline package references.
Phase Two: Package swapping & removal test "GH106"-1 to -10
Phase Three: Develop & release a basic script
Inspired by Rob Braxman
(Link to his video is at the bottom of the post)
This is an exploratory project whose goal is to de-google and secure an inexpensive prepaid phone for use with Signal and Jabber. The path for this project is in the modification of default packages that can be accessed through adb shell. I want to modify this inexpensive prepaid phone from AT&T because I can put any AT&T sim card into it and it works. This is a second device I use to hard sandbox secure communications so there is close to zero identity metadata available to those who wish to exploit it.
I cannot unlock the boot loader through the standard means (Motorola OEM Unlock code device not eligible).
What I can do is experiment with removing or modifying the packages in the package manager until I find a way to isolate and subvert google and friends attempts to collect user data.
in the end I hope to have a script that can be run by ordinary people to allow them to convert an inexpensive burner phone into a secure parallel "identity zero" device.
I'm also interested in disabling or subverting gps location data, & disabling emergency calling features. I'm hoping to be able to pop in a sim card if I need to but its primarily for WiFi comms through a VPN tunnel & Onion.
I will be updating this post as I go to leave something complete and worth reading.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First things first, I created a full package list from a new phone that just updated to Android 10. It has never been signed into all primary settings on initial boot have been skipped (email, pass codes etc.)
I avoided agreeing to anything.
Device in developer mode/USB debugging enabled. Oem unlock switch works but the unlock code for motorola is not illegible.
Phase One: Create a baseline reference.
This list is a baseline that I will use when cross referencing changes I make to see which apps are critical and which ones can be swapped or removed.

There were new apps on the phone that were not on the phone the night before.
So being annoyed, I went crazy and deleted a bunch of things I shouldn't have.
The phone was fine until I accidentally rebooted while setting it into a tripod phone clamp (clamped the side buttons)
It could not boot up and read from the recovery menu that -data was corrupted and offered to revert/wipe factory reset.
Also very interesting, I had a pin and a bio metric lock, and when it wiped there was no longer any lock.
Here's where I did the corrupting:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
