Guide: Debloat XZ1 with ADB (Oreo 8.0.0 — 47.1.A.12.205 — non-rooted) - Sony Xperia XZ1 Guides, News, & Discussion

Guide
Debloat XZ1 with ADB
WARNING: WORK IN PROGRESS​
Preamble
First of all it should be mentioned that in the worst case your device has to be reset to factory settings. All the bloatware you will "remove" in the following hours and days will still remain on the device. So it's not about freeing up storage, but about hiding unwanted functionality, potentially increasing battery life, and freeing up some memory. However, to completely remove pre-installed software from your device, you must have root privileges. I personally advise against "rooting" a new device that will still receive security updates for some time. In most cases the process of acquiring root privileges, or at least the subsequent operations on the device, will lead to a loss of warranty. But that is only my opinion. I am not aware of any case in which the use of ADB with user rights led to a loss of warranty.
Requirements
ADB (Android Debug Bridge)
Arch-based $ sudo pacman -Syu android-tools
Debian-based $ sudo apt-get install adb
Fedora-based $ sudo yum install android-tools
Windows/mac https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
Sony Xperia XZ1 (should also work for other Xperia devices with Oreo)
Stock firmware
No root privileges required
"USB debugging" enabled in developer options⁰
Time
Background & Commands
Introduction
The android debug bridge provides the right tool to remove the bloatware: The included package manager (pm) will become your best friend for now. I strongly recommend reading the official documentation if you have any questions after reading this section.
Notes on style
Every line of code with a leading $ is followed by a command. So lines without that are command output. If there is code written in italics you should expect other output or modify the command according to your needs. The # is used for line comments.
Getting started
First of all you start an ADB shell. Since this shell is quite limited, all following commands can alternatively be executed directly by prefixing adb shell. This could be useful later e.g. for scripting.
Code:
$ adb shell
Gathering information
After the shell has started, you probably want to collect information about the installed bloatware. The first place you can do that is the package list. Note that the commands implicitly add --user 0 which is your main user or "admin". Also the pm list command will be replaced by cmd package in the future but is more handy right now.
Code:
$ pm list packages -s -d |sort [color="green"]# Sorted list of all disabled system packages[/color]
$ pm list packages -s -e |sort [color="green"]# Sorted list of all enabled system packages[/color]
$ pm list packages -s -u |sort [color="green"]# Sorted list of all system packages including uninstalled ones[/color]
To show only uninstalled packages you can use the following command outside the ADB shell.
Code:
grep -vf <(adb shell pm list packages -s |sort) <(adb shell pm list packages -s -u |sort)
If you don't know the exact package name, you can specify a filter behind pm list packages or work with dumpsys and grep. There are, however, nicer methods respectively apps that take away the manual name resolution.
Code:
$ pm list packages [i]sony[/i] [color="green"]# Shows only packages that have "sony" in their name[/color]
$ dumpsys |grep -i [i]gmail[/i] -C5 [color="red"]# This is totally slow and doesn't always work out[/color]
To really get a lot of information, like dependencies, about a certain package, the following command is suitable.
Code:
$ dumpsys package [i]com.package.name[/i] [color="green"]# Much to read[/color]
$ pm list packages -f -i -u [i]com.package.name[/i] [color="green"]# Show associated .apk file and installer[/color]
Providing a test environment
Since you don't have root rights¹, you can't disable/uninstall system packages system-wide. The only thing that can happen is that you remove a package for your main user, that makes your main account or other packages unusable, or that cannot be reinstalled. Then the only option is a factory reset, right? Narp. You won't believe it, but it's enough to create a new user as a test environment. A user can be removed easily and is isolated from the other users. So your new user – we lovingly call it "test" – sacrifices itself to save you the factory reset. Therefore you can also test without hesitation on a productive system. Of course this only works if you specify the corresponding user-id in the following commands.; nevertheless, I recommend a backup.
Code:
$ pm create-user [i]test[/i]
Success: created user id [i]10[/i]
$ pm list users [color="green"]# Just to verify that worked[/color]
Users:
UserInfo{0:[i]Hallmund Gautisson[/i]:13} running
UserInfo{[i]10[/i]:[i]test[/i]:0}
No risk… and fun
Now we come to the fun part, debloat the $#*! out of your phone. At this point you often have to decide: disable or uninstall. In general disabling a package leads to success in most cases. An uninstall is only recommended if the disable does not lead to the desired result and if at best the package can be reinstalled. The test environment is perfect to check this and to uncover possible side effects of removing a package.
Code:
$ pm disable-user --user [i]10 com.package.name[/i] [color="green"]# This should also be safe if it's done with your main user (0)[/color]
Package [i]com.package.name[/i] new state: disabled-user
$ pm uninstall -k --user [i]10 com.package.name[/i] [color="red"]# This could force you to perform a factory reset when applied to your main user (0)[/color]
Success
The -k option is used to keep the data and cache directories, as you are not allowed to remove them anyway.
Damn regrets
If a package has more destructive power than previously thought, or proves to be quite useful in retrospect, or if you have simply made a mistake with the name, it would be nice if you could simply undo what you did full of youthful recklessness. For deactivated packages this works very reliably. With uninstalled packages this is quite random. Sometimes packages that even exist in the Play Store cannot be reinstalled anymore² and the apparently deepest ingrained system app can be reinstalled without even a single error. To reinstall a system package you have to get the path to the associated .apk file using -f option in package list.
Code:
$ pm enable --user [i]10 com.package.name[/i] [color="green"]# To undo the disable command, works reliable[/color]
$ pm list packages -f -u [i]com.package.name[/i]
package:[i]/path/to/package.apk[/i]=[i]com.package.name[/i]
$ pm install -r --user [i]10 /path/to/package.apk [color="red"]# To undo the uninstall command, works flaky[/color][/i]
Success [color="red"]# Or Failure³[/color]
The -r option is used reinstall an existing package and keeping its data. You don't have any rights in the installation target directory anyway.
(Bloat)-Packages
Notes on style
All packages I have tested myself have green coloured names. Packages that appear in other debloat lists are coloured blue. Packages with a red name mean: better don't touch them. Abbreviations are R for packages that can be reinstalled, P for packages that are also available in the play store, U for packages that you can also disable in the app settings, and M for packages that are removed from my phone. At this point you are welcome to contribute, especially the effects of removing are often not clear and package descriptions are missing.

⁰) Go to "Settings" → "System" → "About phone" → Tap "Build number" seven times → Back → "Developer options" → Enable "USB debugging"
¹) As long as you do not run ADB with root, it should not be possible to modify packages system-wide.
²) You can install them from the store but not with the original APK; congratulations, you now have double the package data.
³) Mostly you will get either INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES or INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK.

With one of the Qualcomm services I managed to destroy com.sonymobile.superstamina… on my main user . The shared library "/system/lib64/libpbpp.so" could no longer be opened, which causes a boot loop. I will try to find the exact cause of the error and then provide information here.
This is getting weird. I've uninstalled updates on stamina mode package… wait, what? Is that possible? This is a system package which isn't even in the Play Store! So, the following happened.
Code:
$ pm list packages -f com.sonymobile.superstamina
package:/vendor/app/SuperStamina/SuperStamina.apk=com.sonymobile.superstamina
$ pm install -r /vendor/app/SuperStamina/SuperStamina.apk;pm disable-user com.sonymobile.superstamina
Success
Package com.sonymobile.superstamina new state: disabled-user
$ pm list packages -f com.sonymobile.superstamina
package:/data/app/com.sonymobile.superstamina-MPre2pDlmc8uvCjeiByuGQ==/base.apk=com.sonymobile.superstamina
The package path has changed during reinstall, which was not the case with other packages. There are also some mentionable changes in the dumpsys before and after the "update".

There was also added a complete new hidden system package. Better don't touch this package.
