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 .
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
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.payment
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.videoplayer
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.micloudsync
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.mipicks
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.midrop
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.cleanmaster
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.notes
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.browser
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.gallery
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.payment
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.videoplayer
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.player
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.mipicks
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mi.android.globalFileexplorer
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.notes
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.midrop
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.cleanmaster
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.analytics
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.music
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.videos
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mipay.wallet.in
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.bugreport
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.one97.paytm
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.mms
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.weather2
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mi.android.globallauncher
Now you are bloat free. You can install any filemanager and image viewer of your choice.
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.

You double-click on XiaomiADBFastbootTools.jar but you need Java installed on your computer to be able to launch it.

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?
Hello guys, as you know, we can't unlock the bootloader, so we are stuck with stock firmware.
I have a 3gb/ ram and 32gb/rom tablet, some of you may have lower specs 2/32 , or even 1/16 in many models.
With this script you can gain a bit of extra performance, because you'll have less apps using the ungenerous ram that comes with the device.
Instructions:
1) Install the device's drivers and enable usb debugging on your tablet.
2) Download the file and extract it.
3) Connect your tablet to the pc and open a cmd window and type adb shell.
4) You'll see a message on your tablet, just tap to allow the connection.
5) Now, run the bat file and wait, sometimes you need run it again.
If you open the .txt file, you'll see all the apps that are going to be disable and uninstalled, if you want to keep an app, just add a "#" at the start of the command and it well be skipped.

Probably I could remove more things safely, but I’m using them (launcher, file manager, camera,…)
Have a nice day
Thanks for this, will use it later today
Hey Im planning to use a debloat script as well! I've seen in the txt it removes the camera (useful to me) and swiftkey keyboard (isn't that dangerous if not having other keyboards?).
Hi again. I've used the script but now the Update app is disabled and can't enable it again! X_X any idea about how to fix that?

Hi!
I'm having a proble with the Windows shell command. If you run "abd shell" in cmd, it just says
'abd' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
What am I doing wrong?

I just had the tab connected via HiSuite. Can't seem to install the driver you mentioned. No installer and Windows won't let me install via Device Manager, not that I know which file I should choose anyway...
A few weeks ago I debloated my MediaPad T5 using the script, adapted it to my needs before, and I am very happy with it
It made the tablet faster, fresher and more battery friendly.
Thanks a lot!

First, I used an ADB command to list all the packages, copied the list, compared it to the packages in the script, and copy/pasted it.
Be careful, if you remove too much, the tablet will not boot and you will have to reinstall the operating system via eRecovery.

Did you manage to successfully debloat your device?
Hey everyone,
I've spent the last couples days going through all the installed packages, cross-referencing different debloating guides and testing my changes. I'm running the latest EMUI 10.1.0.158 (C636).
RECOMMENDATIONS: if you can, follow this debloating guide right after a factory reset; this simply guarantees a fresh clean start. Otherwise, start by backing up your apps and important files to an external device. The built-in backup app is ideal for preserving your apps and their settings, but make sure to move these backups OFF THE PHONE. Then, you can either remove all the apps (in my guide) all at once, or remove a few at a time and reboot the phone in between. Rebooting in between reduces the chance of "shocking" the OS with too many changes all at once which could result in boot looping. Just keep in mind that I did not find that to be necessary when debloating right after a factory reset, but your mileage may vary.
Here is what I personally debloated without any adverse effect, after 2 weeks of daily use:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.hicloud ****** Huawei cloud features
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.browser ****** Stock browser, replaced with Mozilla
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.browserhomepage ****** Stock browser component
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.bookmarkprovider ****** Stock bookmark content
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.providers.partnerbookmarks ****** Stock bookmark content
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.wallet ****** Huawei Wallet app

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.hifolder ****** AppAdvisor
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.parentcontrol ****** Digital balance, parental control features
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.hicard ****** Huawei Cards, no info but recommended in some guides, no negative consequences
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.hitouch ****** Allows you to shop for an object that you took a picture of

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.fastapp ****** Quick App Center, another type of app distribution

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.intelligent ****** Huawei Assistant. Shopping recommendations
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.magazine ****** Magazine unlock. Downloads wallpapers for your lock screen. I don't need my phone needlessly connecting to remote servers

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.hwstartupguide ****** A one-time setup app that is no longer needed

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.android.instantonline ****** No information but recommended in some guides, no negative consequences
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.hwpanpayservice ****** This is payment related, I don't use my phone as a payment method nor do I use Huawei Wallet
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.bjbyhd.screenreader_huawei ****** An accessibility feature for visually impaired people
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.search ****** HiSearch. This does not affect the search bar in the Settings
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.hwdetectrepair ****** Smart Diagnosis app. It diagnoses hardware problems which I could do myself
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.hiview ****** This supposedly displays details/attributes of pictures. After removing this, I can still access the picture attributes in the stock Gallery so I'm not sure what this is actually about
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.hiviewtunnel ****** Related to HiView.
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.hidisk ****** Stock file explorer, replaced with File Manager +
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.android.chr ****** HwChrService, this collects data about your usage of the cellular network. No thanks
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.bd ****** Huawei User Experience app
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.android.karaoke ****** Self explanatory
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.desktop.explorer ****** EMUI Desktop Mode for connecting to an external display
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.android.FloatTasks ****** Navigation Dock, I don't care for that UI feature
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.languagedownloader ****** According to some guides, this is unsafe but I don't need another downloader for something that I'll never use
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.lbs ****** Location Service. Sounds scary but I am still able to use all my GPS and location services. My location based weather widgets, Waze and Google Maps connect just as fast and accurately as before
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.featurelayer.sharedfeature.map ****** Huawei Map Service. I removed it and have no issues using Waze and Google Maps
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.hisi.mapcon ****** This is apparently not recommended when using WiFi calling, which I don't
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.himovie.overseas ****** Stock video application, replaced with VLC. This integrates perfectly with the stock Camera and Gallery apps
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.stk ****** SIM Toolkit. Not supported by US SIM cards
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.mms ****** Stock SMS application, replaced with Pulse. I can still send/receive SMS & MMS. Textra looks like a good alternative too
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.HwMultiScreenShot ****** Scrollshot. Basic screenshots still work, I don't use the knock feature
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.smartshot ****** Smart screenshot. Basic screenshots still work, I don't use the knock feature
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.bluetooth ****** Allows importing phone contacts via Bluetooth, something I've never done in my life
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.swiftkey.swiftkeyconfigurator ****** Older version of SwiftKey, replaced with the latest SwiftKey APK
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.touchtype.swiftkey ****** Older version of SwiftKey, replaced with the latest SwiftKey APK. Do not do this before downloading the APK for your new keyboard otherwise you won't have a keyboard to use to search for a replacement
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.pcassistant ****** Used when connecting your phone to your PC using HiSuite
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.egg ****** A hidden animation that no one needs to see
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.backupconfirm ****** Google Backup, unusable without Google Services. This does not affect Huawei's backup app, I was able to back up all my apps and settings
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.calllogbackup ****** Google Call Log Backup/Restore. This does not affect Huawei's backup app, I was able to back up my calls successfully
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.scanner ****** AI Lens. Shop for objects that you take a picture of. I can't stand these "features" that revolve around shopping. This de-clutters the camera interface by removing the AI Lens button on the top left corner and does not break the AR Measure app.
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.contacts ****** Dialer & contacts app. I first installed my dialer replacement, True Phone (version 2.0.0-hw rev 99 from the AppGallery) and then ran this command. Although this should not actually delete your contacts, make sure to back them up. I've had absolutely 0 issue making or receiving calls after deleting the stock dialer.
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.hwsearch ****** Petal Search widget. I personally use APKPure and sometimes the AppGallery.
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 package:com.huawei.android.hwupgradeguide ****** New package that came with .158. There is no description online but judging from the name, I don't need it
NOTICE THAT I DO NOT INCLUDE THE -k PARAMETER IN MY COMMANDS, unlike most guides found online. I do not get any error running the commands as such, and it actually clears the data created by those apps. In other words, we're not only debloating your user interface but also your storage!
To restore any app removed via ADB:
adb shell cmd package install-existing <package_name>
I always try to uninstall apps through Android before resorting to ADB. I did not really keep track of apps that I uninstalled through the menu, so it's just easier to tell you which stock apps I kept installed. By stock app, I ONLY MEAN actual apps that you can open from the home screen:
-AppGallery. This requires com.huawei.hwid to work. I needed it to get Snapchat, I might ADB-uninstall it now that Snapchat is installed
-Phone Clone. This could always be useful for porting apps over
-Optimizer
-Themes
-Live wallpaper (com.huawei.livewallpaper.paradise, also known as Brocade)
-Calendar widget/app
-Camera. Obviously. Who in their right mind would get this phone lacking a major component of Android (Play Services), if not for the camera
-Gallery. For pictures and editing
-Contacts. This is also the phone dialer. I have now uninstalled this app and replaced it with True Dialer 2.0 by Hamster Beat (available on AppGallery)
-Compass. Works great
-Smart Remote. If I ever decide to make use of my IR blaster
-AR Measure. I usually don't care for stuff like this but this actually works great and looks awesome
Here are apps/system processes that actually have an uninstall button but that I DID NOT UNINSTALL:
-Backup (com.huawei.KoBackup). I use this app to create backups periodically. Without root, this native app is able to backup a lot more than any other 3rd party backup app
-com.huawei.game.kitserver (I don't play games but if I ever decide to, I'd like to avoid breaking features)
-Contacts Sync (com.huawei.contacts.sync). I have now uninstalled this app as I no longer use the stock dialer (com.huawei.contacts)
-Storage manager (com.android.storemanager)
My goal is to remove low quality, "spyware" or unnecessary apps without removing or breaking useful features. "Useful" is always a little subjective, so decide for yourself based on my descriptions and comments!
I added AI Lens to my debloat list.
I just updated to 10.1.0.122 and did not find new packages installed or restored as part of the ROM update.
thank you very much my friend ! just did this on Mate XS !!!

You're more than welcome. I've been doing some network analysis using the AdGuard Firewall and I might update this guide with my findings. I found out the phone is phoning back home (to China) quite a bit, especially Huawei Cloud and HiCloud servers despite not using any of these apps or Huawei cloud services.
how do i do this?
i cant use adb i have developer options and usb debugging on but adb devices dont show the phone
It's probably a driver problem. Take a look at this guide: https://androidmtk.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-tool

Thanks for this have you noticed any improvement with battery life after debloating all of these apps?
Any issues after debloating?
Also, can you please tell me the exact command you have to type to debloat? Starting from ADB shell, what is the next command please? And what software /hardware do I need to debloat?

No issues, no crashes and no weird behavior. If you read my comments, I explain what each command does and whether or not it's removing an important feature.
You simply have to copy/paste the commands in bold, these are the full commands.
I pretty much debloated the phone as soon as I got it so I can't really speak about battery life improvement.
A few days ago I even removed the stock Huawei dialer in favor of True Phone (2.0.0.0-hw rev 99 found on the AppGallery). I just updated my first post to reflect that.

Do you remember what you uninstalled specifically? There's a chance you could have restored the missing apps using ADB in Fastboot Mode instead of doing a factory reset.
The list of apps in my post is what I personally removed right after a factory reset (to make sure I was starting from scratch).

I have no idea what I removed but even after removing it and restating the phone, there was no way to reinstall the app because the phone wouldn't load last the huawei logo meaning I couldn't get it into adb mode at all.
Alright. If I understand correctly, you also removed things that were not on my list, correct?

That's correct yes. You won't really know if the things you've removed were safe to remove until you've restarted the phone pretty much
Yep that's true! I wrote this guide after doing many reboots, I'll update my post to add some guidelines.

Hi everyone,
I've done a quick search, sorry if this has been covered.
I've done something dumb. I followed a few steps of a guide to remove bloatware of Huawei but I was probably not careful enough. I've removed several apps:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.thememanager
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.launcher
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.mediacenter
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.mediacenter
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.vassistant
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.appmarket
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.search
Most of these removals I was happy with, but it took a bit of effort the get an app launcher again (nova launcher), because I removed the only one that was active. But with adb I could access the app store and install it. However, now I'm unable to access the "active apps" (that you normally get when swiping up and holding) or go to the Home Screen with a gesture. No recent apps appear.
It could be that I'm missing a system app now that is required for this functionality. My last resort is to do a full re-install, but I am hoping that someone knows an alternative to try?
Security-wise I'm a bit too paranoid to simply download .apk files from some random website. So the full reinstall might be my only option.
I do realize that I've done something dumb to uninstall these apps, so I may need to bite the bullet. The phone is still usable, but it's definitely not great not being able to switch tasks.
Any suggestions are very welcome! Thanks!
