[GUIDE] List of bloatware safe to remove & How to do it

Hi guys!
At/On the weekend, I spend some time on EMUI 9 looking for apps that I could safely remove. Since then, I've been using the device and I didn't have any kind of bug or crash up to now. I made the uninstall of the apps by ADB. So, I decided to share the list that I made with such apps. The apps on the list are already with the commands.
Here it is:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.marvin.talkback
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.setupwizard
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.restore
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.webview
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.frameworkhwext.honor
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.dreams.phototable
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.partnerbrowsercustomizations.tmobile
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.email
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.system
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.appmanager
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.services
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.gm
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.onetimeinitializer
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.videos
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.music
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.tachyon

I am receiving this error when I type adb shell
error: device unauthorized.
This adbd's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set; try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.

Did you enable USB debugging mode in developer settings? Also, you must type adb devices and adb shell before using the following commands.

Bloatware removal suggestions

Just finished removing the hisearch 'feature' on my phone. Curious to see if people have tested removing other default apps (bloat) from the phone with success.
Could we put together a list of stock apps that is safe to remove? :fingers-crossed:

I would remove hisearch if I used default launcher, but I don't so it's no biggie.
Curious to know what "bloat" apps you have because I use every single one on the phone besides google music and google movies and I disabled them.

I am mostly using google apps with Nova launcher.
So far i have removed,
- huawei clock,calendar,galery,calculator,video, appmarket hicare,hihealth,music,notepad,tips,email
on a sidenote removing huawei laucher will get rid of the Pie looking recent app and get it back to the old card style

Hello, I too have LYA-AL10 model purchased in China using in Dubai. Removal/uninstalling procedure is clear and I have replaced launcher with NOVA. However, request you to explain how to instal the google news app on the left swipe of home screen where currently HiBoard appears as all of Google suite apps are not avaialable. Moreover, I had to use "adb shell pm uninstall -k com.huawei.android.launcher"
By the way this Chinese model gets all the updates before other varients, currently using 9.0.0.176(patch1). However, can somebody clarify that all the uninstals shall reappear on next update!?
Thanks.

It depends on the update.
If the apps are in the update file, they will show up again.
Adb Shell wont completly delete the apk in your system, it only uninstall for main use.
You can test with YouTube for example.
Use adb to uninstall YouTube (now its gone).
Now install YouTube again with play store,
And try to uninstall it on the normal way.
Now you see you cant uninstall it because its a system app. ( You have to use adb again)
So... As long the apps are not in the update file, they wont reappear again.

ADB Shell
Hello everyone.
Can one give an example of code line for uninstall?
c:\ADB\ adb ->

First you have to download and install ADB to your PC.
Then you have to enable USB debugging on your phone (its in developer options menu)
Go to, and open the map where ADB is installed.
Right click in the opened map to open command window.
Then connect your phone to the computer and check if your device is connected with this command .\adb devices
A notification will pop up on your phone screen (accept it)
From this point your phone is connected with your pc.
Then type .\adb Shell
Then type pm list packages this will show all installed packages
Then type the packages you want to uninstall.
For example.
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.search

I don't think you can, I did a factory reset and they're back. Other option is to wait for root. You might be able to reinstall from Huawei app store. The reason I did a factory reset though was I found this amazing post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78497092&postcount=50
If you disable the app with this syntax you can just bring it straight back if you find you need it. It totally works, no root needed. Don't forget to thank the user, it's the best thing I read all week!

XIAOMI Mi8 GLOBAL De-Bloating (No Root)

HOW TO DEBLOAT THE Mi8 WITHOUT ROOT
Summary:
I don't like the Ads and the bloat that Xiaomi have been including in our Stock Global ROMs. I am sharing the method and services/apps i personally remove when i run the latest Global ROM. These apps are uninstalled through ADB shell and doesn't require root, doesn't modify your system, and can be brought back with a factory reset.
I don't use social media, so i uninstalled the FB crap too (always runs even without the main app). If some of these aren't found on your system, don't worry it just errors on them (not found). I use a lot of 3rd party apps in place of Xiaomi stock apps (messages, gallery, clock, etc). I left the Xiaomi cloud and account apps/framework. If this bothers you, then add them or skip others you want to leave.
I have thoroughly tested the removal of all the apps listed in this tutorial (there is more that can be removed, but i use the themes app, account, cloud, etc.). Removing these apps will greatly improve the battery life and snappiness of the phone (less resources running, less memory used, less battery consumption, no ads!).
My Replacement App Setup:
-Nova Launcher Prime
-Google Chrome
-Google Messages
-Google Photos
-PowerAmp Hi-Def Music Player (Enables [email protected])
-Timely Clock App
-Weather Live Pro
-VLC Media Player
Important Notes & Warnings:
* You can still use OTA updates or regular ROM flashing without the apps & services returning!
* This does not modify the system partitions in any way, only the data partition files are disabled!
* If you remove the 'Xiaomi Home' launcher app -make sure you have an alternative launcher installed first!
* If you remove the 'Xiaomi Gallery' app, you can only set lockscreen wallpaper through the theme application!
Very Very Important:
* ONCE YOU UNINSTALL THESE, THE ONLY WAY TO GET THEM BACK IS TO FACTORY RESET YOUR PHONE! *
Instructions:
1.) Make sure USB Debugging is enabled in the Developers menu on your phone
2.) Connect your phone to your computer
3.) Bring up your computer's command terminal and type 'adb shell'
4.) If you successfully have an adb shell connection, you should have a terminal type mode with a dollar sign prompt
- - -(If you can't connect, then go read how to get an adb connection and setup using Google!)
5.) Enter each command you want below. You can copy the whole list, then paste it in your adb shell all at once if you want

Thanks for the info.
Will these removed apps be reinstalled automatically after a firmware update?

Hi,
I just did that and now the system hangs saying "Just a sec...". Nothing happens.
EDIT:
I was stupid and have not installed Nova Launcher

No, the apps will stay uninstalled in the data partition until a factory reset. You can still update without issues, it does not modify system images.

Thanks a lot for the useful info.
As per my Mi 8 MIUI present config, locked bootloader, many of the apps from the list are not running or have never run, since I have already disabled some of them previously on settings (disabled at startup, background) or I manually run them.
So I have only uninstalled a few of them running (you can check on apps manager, show system apps and sort by status). Also you can check battery drain of each one to see actually how much they drain.
These are the ones I chose to uninstall:
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 android.autoinstalls.config.Xiaomi.dipper
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.providers.partnerbookmarks
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.appmanager
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.services
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.system
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mi.android.globalpersonalassistant
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.daemon
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.qualcomm.qti.perfdump
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.discover
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.joyose
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.browser

thanks for this!

Great heads up. I was looking for something like this. Just wondering if I freeze them with titanium backup it will do the same job or not…

is it safe to remove the following
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.cloudservice
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.cloudbackup
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.micloudsync

Awesome stuff!Thx for this!!
Can you please name all apps what they are one by one?
E.g like com.xiaomi.glgm??what is this?
Thank you again!

Forwarding your request. Most of the apps are trivial to name, but some arent, therefore the request, if you can name all those Would really appreciate it. The integraded browser also annoys me a little :/

Thanks for this
Can confirm it also works for the Mi 8 Pro.

Would love what the more obscure app names are, so we can make more informed decisions on what we personally want to remove ^^

13% Cell Stand-by? Can't be good...
Too much it seems for me, similar to Screen-On-Time?

I'm still at 10.0.3 and for the moment I do not intend to upgrade until Xiaomi release a better version.
I removed everything except MIUI cloud related things.
Also I changed the network to LTE/ WCDMA (Europe)
After 24 hours on standby the battery fell from 100 to 89 percent.
That would be about 3-4% overnight.
I do not think that's bad.

That's good. It approaches normal drainage standby.
It drains 1% per hour for me standby, debloated. Could you tell how much cell standby drain percentage with normal usage after a cycle?

I only have Mi8 for 3 days and I didn't yet look at that.
But I use very little that phone (I also have a company phone) so this information will not help you too much.

Lookig for Debloat List to fully remove Google [XZ2c, XZ2 Compact, XZ2, XZ3]

Someone found or has an intresting list?

current used debloat packages/lists
01_debloat_list from:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz2/development/oreo-debloat-script-v1-0-t3798979
02_debloat_list from:
https://qrys.ch/getting-rid-of-all-the-bloatware-on-a-sony-xperia-x-compact/
03_additional custom debloat (my own supplement)
Hint: swift keyboard will be removed, too. Make sure you installed another keyboard or you need to install it via adb afterwards. You need another SMS App too. I suggest installing F-Droid (.\adb install FDroid.apk https://f-droid.org/) and getting the Apps you need there.

Question Question about debloating a specific Samsung application

I have performed successful ADB debloating, but was unsure of deleting the Knox applications (not sure what to take out) and I have a question about a Samsung specific app..
I hate the Samsung Gallery app and I am using Google Photos, but the stock gallery app is redundant and often in the way. What would happen if I delete this? Will the phone default to Google Photos without much hiccup, or will there be issues beyond integration with the camera, etc?
Thanks.

If you debloat the stock gallery app when you're in the stock camera app and you tap on a photo to view it it will tell you there is no default app to perform this action. Other than that I didn't see any issues.

Thanks, that is what I figured. I really hate having the two apps fighting against each other.

Yeah it's slightly annoying but it could be worse. I use App Freezer instead of debloating through ADB as it's much easier to disable whatever you want without root then if something doesn't work afterwards you can just enable it again quickly. I've done a lot of testing and pretty much have it down to a science of what apps you can and can't disable. I have frozen probably around 80-90 apps and everything still works except for those things I removed on purpose. You can even save a frozen packages list to an xml and share it and import it which I like.

Thanks.

Would you mind sharing all the packages and apps you "froze" in some sort of a list? I´m looking for some list to use with the adb disabler. Can´t find any basic list that has some effect.
Thanks in advance

I did not freeze anything, nor did I use a package disabler. I used ADB and command line using the commands I listed above for those apps I did not want as well as keeping the display at "high" as much as possible (120hz).

Here is my Frozen Packages XML file that you can open up in any text editor and view or load in the App Freezer app. Obviously don't disable something if you know what it is and you use it.
