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

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

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

Uninstall for current user:
>> adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <pkg-name>
Re-install:
>> adb shell cmd package install-existing <pkg-name>

Thank you so much for your help,
*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?

Question "Logd" Draining Battery issue

I have uninstalled the msa app via adb in my Redmi Note 10 Pro. Since then logd app is darining my battery.
Any solutions pls?
Thanks in advance!

1. If you have TWRP recovery:
Code:
TWRP > Mount > System > Advanced > File Manager > /system/bin/logd > Rename > /system/bin/logd.bak
2. If you are rooted use a terminal emulator like Termux from f-droid and run this script:
Code:
su
mv /system/bin/logd /system/bin/logd.bak
reboot

Appreciate the suggestion. But neither do I have custom TWRP nor my device is rooted. Any other through ADB?
Do you know the reson behind that?

It's logging the missing app reference. Use fastboot and flash stock image to restore. Next time while debloating disable the packages instead of uninstalling
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.msa.global
adb shell pm disable -k --user 0 com.miui.msa.global

I used the XiaomiADBFastbootTools-6.0 tool to reinstall and Disable it. So, no need to flash stock image.
Thanks for help!

Every body mentioned in community that msa can be uninstalled. It is just for collecting data and targeting adds. I knew that I can reinstall the app via XiaomiADBFastbootTools-6.0 tool as a backup if something go haywire.
So, I did my reading bro..
Thanks for advice though.
