How To Uninstall Realme Apps Without Root (ADB) - Realme 6 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods

We have to admit it all mid range intensively priced devices are dumped with lot of bloatware and Some of which don't even allow us to uninstall.
Realme gives us a skip option while setting the system to reduce the no.of bloatware but many of which aren't removable .
Now i'll give a step by step procedure to remove all the apps which are unnecessary and useless for the device.
Needed :-
1. Pc with Adb installed (Using universal Adb is Recommended)
2. Realme 6 or 6 Pro with USB Debugging unlocked for which unlock the developer options by clicking About Phone -> Baseband & Kernal -> Build number (
click Multiple times untill it unlocks the options)
You can find the options in Additional Settings.
then enable usb debugging.
Now:-
Open the Folder where you have installed the ADB drivers the press shift and right click
you'll find a cmd or powershell option clicking on which gives a shell in that address
Now Connect the Phone with USB and give Permissions in the phone for the system (file Transfer mode)
are check the usb debugging request as accept
Now check whether the device is connected to the system using :-
./adb devices
list of the devices are listed
now click
./adb shell
"pm uninstall –k ––user 0 package name"
to uninstall any app using adb method
we can find the package name in a app PackageNameViewer
Now Run the command
this will uninstall the app
*Remember System Apps are Important and shouldn't be altered.
So Please perform any action carefully
We aren't responsible for your product or it's warranty*
List of Apps or Package Name I uninstalled Personally:-
com.heytap.browser
com.coloros.backuprestore
com.opera.branding.news
com.android.comtacts ( need to install google dialer or any other 3rd party so please don't unless a huge fan of google apps)
com.facebook.system
com.facebook.appmanager
com.facebook.services
com.heytap.cloud
com.oppo.music
com.coloros.gallery3d
com.coloros.video
Stuck anywhere Please do post comments.
XDA isn't allowing me to post pictures.

It would be better to use
Code:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 <package_to_disable>
instead of uninstall because if any package needs to be installed again it simply can be done by
Code:
adb shell pm enable <package_to_enable>
whereas using the uninstall command the package gets uninstalled for the current user and only way to get it back is by factory reset.
Almost all of colorOS bloat can be disabled including the contacts ( contains the dialer app too) and messages. You can install google dialer (mod found on xda working perfectly, using for 3 days now) and google contact and messages from play store.
Edit: Game center & Oroaming for some wierd reason doesn't get disabled.
Edit 2: contacts thing already mentioned in OP. Missed it the first time.

I took the conservative approach. Done disabling some apps just in case i needed to restore it will be easier. Thank you for the tutorials
this is what i did
adb devices
adb shell
pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.keep
pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.youtube
pm disable-user --user 0 com.coloros.video
pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.mms
to enable it again
pm enable com.coloros.video
pm enable com.google.android.youtube
pm enable com.google.android.keep
pm enable com.android.mms
change mms to google messages
video to mx video player
youtube to snaptube
keep to none i dont need this but to be safe i just disable it

Doesn't Realme 6 Pro have Realme OS not colorOS? Nevermind, I'm new to this. My bad.

@jlrruben:
what's the best version of XDA's Google Phone apk for the Realme 6 Pro?

HELP!!
I did the uninstalling as advised here but went overboard (my bad)
If someone can help me installing these things back please!
com.google.android.gm
com.google.android.gms

Just use this...
Code:

I have 13 pages of packages on my phone.
Is there a definitive list of what the packages are for and which ones can safely be removed .
I'm hesitant as my phone is only 2 days old and I have already soft bricked it 3 times.
Twice trying to install TWRP and once installing Magisk
Flashing works without error messages but trying to reboot to TWRP just goes to stock recovery then won't reboot same situation when rebooting after Magisk root.

Guide: Remove Huawei bloatware - Noob friendly

Hello Guys
I found many threads talking about removing huawei apps, but it was not that organized for all
Here is a quick-easy guide for all:
1. Install adb files
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0MKgCbUM0itSUhpUklCTFpzWkE&authuser=0
Main thread here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
2. Enable USB debugging from developer options:
• To enable developer options:
- Step 1: go to Settings.
- Step 2: Find and open "System" option.
- Step 3: Select "About phone".
- Step 4: Tap "Build number" almost seven times you will see a prompt “You are now a Developer “.
• Go to developer options, enable USB debugging.
3. Connect your phone to your computer and press yes if it asks you to trust the PC.
4. Launch command prompt (windows key + R) and type cmd, and enter the following commands:
- “cd c:\adb”
- “adb shell”
- “abd devices” (make sure your device appears in the list)
- “adb uninstall -k --user 0” + the app you want to remove from the list below:
For example:
This command will delete Huawei mirror app:
adb uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.mirror
- adb uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.launcher - removes Huawei launcher app. ( don’t remove if you don’t have a custom launcher )
- adb uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.mirrorshare - removes MirrorShare feature.
- adb uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.totemweather - removes Huawei Weather app.
- adb uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.compass - removes Huawei Compass app.
- adb uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.hidisk - removes Huawei File Manager app.
- adb uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.phoneservice - removes HiCare app.
- adb uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.mirror - removes Huawei Mirror app.
- adb uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.vassistant - removes HiVoice app.
- adb uninstall -k --user 0 com.nuance.swype.emui - removes Huawei Swype functions.
- adb uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.search – removes HiSearch app
- adb uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.mediacenter - removes Huawei Stock Music App
- adb uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.appmarket - removes Huawei App Gallery
- adb uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.email - removes Stock Huawei Email Composer
- adb uninstall -k --user 0 com.microsoft.translator – removes Translator
All credits for:
RedSkull23 (Huawei App list)
Snoop05 (adb files and drivers)
Thanks, going to try this out as soon as a reach my adb machine.
adb uninstall -k --user 0 com.nuance.swype.emui - removes Huawei Swype functions.

It removes the Swype keyboard.
Removing huawei launcher improves performance of multitasking but it goes back to old oreo recent apps style.
Is it possible to eliminate the startup animation that my operator has left and only leave Huawei's?
Or just use HiSuite in adb / debugging mod and uninstall all of the apps you doesn't need...

Does this improve phone experience? I've heard these apps are pretty bad? Particularly the Hisense app
On my phone, removing Huawei launcher breaks the system gestures
Both the home gesture and the multitasking gesture stopped working

It will do as they are part of the launcher. Installing something like Fluid NG will give you an alternative.
Nice recap for noobs. Just keep in mind guys, if you break something from removing a system app the only way to get it back is to do a factory reset (unless you are completely unlocked/rooted when you have other options). Be especially careful if you want to remove the launcher, there are several threads talking about this.
If nothing else getting rid of the idiotic 'swipe down' Hi-Search is an absolute necessity, and it doesn't seem to hurt anything even for people in Asia who have the Hi-Vision stuff. It is ridiculous that the only way to bring down notifications and such is to pull from one single pixel at the top of the screen. GRRRR...

That's not the case, because you only uninstall it for the current user the APK is still on the system so you can use the following to reinstall:
adb shell cmd package install-existing <package name>

That sure isn't mentioned in any of the bloatware removal threads so far, are you sure you can re-install it without a wipe? I would definitely look into getting rid of the launcher if so, and gut the hyper aggressive memory saver.
It gives me error like "Failure [not installed for 0]"

Yep, absolutely positive. I've uninstalled/reinstalled both powergenie and the launcher a couple of times.

Disabled apps re enable by background updates

Hello colleagues, I have been presenting a problem for 2 months already with the software, I had Google Duo, Photos and YouTube disabled, because I really don't use them, but a couple of months ago, the applications were re-enabled with an update of languages, for example "Google Photos languages" and the application is enabled again, without my permission and without being able to control it.
I have tried to remove the application by ADB Shell, but I have not been successful, I have written to Google Support about the situation and they have not been able to help me.
This is very frustrating ....
My cell phone is a Huawei P30 Pro, with EMUI 10, version 10.0.0.203 (C605E19R1P3), stock, no root.
Could you please help me?
oh my this happened to me all manually disabled apps were re enabled after a restart! @SilviuO

Try removing them again with ADB and start command as ADMIN. Remove them 3-4 times, each time after reset. And use this command:
adb shell pm uninstall --user com.google.android.apps.tachyon
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.apps.photos
adb shell pm uninstall --user com.google.android.youtube
Sent from my VOG-L29 using XDA Labs
no this is much worse. I noticed that yesterday night the phones was the whole time awake so i restarted the phone. After the restart the boot logo came appeared twice then i noticed that all, i mean ALL apps whether disabled by adb or manually through the applist were re enabled including hms core etc.

Is there a way in fastboot or TWRP to just undo /reinstall, those services? Or do I have to totally reinstall MIUI?
right now I can not get into the android view. I just can get into fastboot or TWRP, but I can't send any information from my PC to my Phone to install any app. I would greatly be happy for any help / tutorial, where I wouldn't have to completly reinstall the phone

*fixed by installing MIUI 12
but it seems I have totally broken the miui / android It didn't work with the install / reinstall, so I tried to install the OS back again.
But this didn't work aswell. I also tried total erazing the phone and seting it up again, didn't work aswell.
Which way can I follow to actually completely reset the phone? I find different tutorials, with reinstalling the:
miui_PYXISGlobal_V11.0.3.0.QFCMIXM_7423b46ef1_10.0
miui_PYXISEEAGlobal_V11.0.3.0.QFCEUXM_d5ccaacaf9_10.0
either via TWRP or with a PC tool from xiaomi MiFlashSetup_eng
When I try to use MiFlashSetup it tells me there is no bat-File in the unzipped image.
When I try to usw TWRP it tells me, that it was successfull, but it keeps reloading TWRP, I can't get into Android :crying:
How can I fix it?

Simple/stupid question from a beginner.

Hello everyone.
Sorry to ask this, but how far from the Lenovo A7000 is the Lenove A7600-F?
I have an older android tablet "Lenove A7600-F" that i am trying to debloat.
It is running android version 4.4.2 (Kitkat)
I have tried for so long now to uninstall the apps that comes with it.
but my regular adb commands does not seem to do the trick.
I am running adb in my I linux terminal (Manjaro 20.2, terminal 5.8)
Yes. I can see my device. and i can alse see all of my apps if i do a
adb shell pm list packages
Yes. my tablet has "usb debugging" enabled (i do not see any "adb" settings though)
I have tried the following things to uninstall the default apps using adb.
1:
[Command:] adb uninstall <com.packagename>
[result:] Failure
2:
[Command:] adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 <com.packagename>
[result:] Error: Unknown option: --user
I do not see any other users on the device then {0:Owner:13}
I have not been able to find any solution for this online. do someone here have any ideas to why i can't uninstall default apps on this device?
