Noooooooooooooo idea
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.

yes but not for all apps . I used my vivo y69 device from 2017 .
i uninstalled vivo ultra game mode
no other version is installable, orignal version was 8.0.5.2
if some find it plz give me
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:

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.mlp
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.

Unfortunately I'm not able to test this. Samsung Pay doesn't work in Poland.
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.
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.music ****** Stock music application, replaced with PowerAmp (use the APK from their website, it does not rely on Google Services)

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.

excellent, as long as you rebooted your device after the debloats you've mentioned in your post that's good ?? I still have some more debloats left to do from your list. I was seriously hoping for better battery life, I hope debloating will improve it

Remove hot apps and hot games
After the newest update of Jul, I have got two new icons/folder that tries to list entries from app market. Any way to remove those?
I might have remove those before using the mentioned approach but dont remember which packages were they.

Those are launcher activities from App Market App. Open App Market > Settings > Hot Games/Apps > Disable. It should now be hidden inside your stock launcher. They might re-appear again. Best way is to use a custom launcher and hide Hot App/Games permanently.

Yes, you can remove but be aware before removing any essential package required for proper device functioning.

Technically its safe to remove all packages, I tested it personally and my phone was able to boot. If you dont need a particular app or functionality, you can safely remove that package.
the app security check drove me crazy, thanks for adding it!
too bad still now way to remove App Market. Can disable everything from the settings within the app and disable permissions

yes you can use it on Realme 6 Pro too. I would recommend manual method instead.

make sure you have
installed adb drivers properly
added adb directory to system PATH variable
device gets detected in adb
set USB mode to file transfer
pasted the .bat file inside adb directory
if running bat file fails, go for manual method.
Removing com.coloros.encryption breaks the stock launcher.
Also trying to remove com.coloros.lockassistant returns "Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]".
Everything else works fine :good:
Dont remove com.coloros.safecenter ! It breaks "display over other apps" permission!

thanks for the heads up, I have updated the post.
Hello guys.
I uninstalled a lot of bloat from my realme 6i, but I accidentally deleted the phone and contacts app! And I don't know how they are called. Can anybody help me here? Just the stock android phone app would do. Thank you.

Phone app : adb shell cmd package install-existing com.android.phone
Contacts app : adb shell cmd package install-existing com.android.contacts
Messages app : adb shell cmd package install-existing com.androidm.mms
Also
adb shell "(pm list packages -u && pm list packages) | sort | uniq -u | cut -c 9-"
for all packages you have uninstalled.
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!
