So when it comes to newer sony phones for development, patches, roms and debloating.
Are there previous debloating scripts we can use on the newer phones? It looks like we already have a process for root access. but not sure what i apps i should remove or backup.
Not to mention if i flash with a totally new rom i will probably want some of the Sony apps installed which means backing up the sony apps before we flash a rom to it right?
@thud1, I've successfully run the attached script using adb. I'm on the US variant, so can't root, and also removed a few extras from other non-US carriers like Orange. I'd recommend reading through it yourself and changing it (anything without a "::" at the start of the line is being removed), since I removed as much as I possibly could (including almost all Google apps). You can use it as a starting point for which apps you can systemlessly uninstall with Magisk though. After uninstalling all of those, everything still seems to be working for me, and I based it on what I uninstalled with Magisk on my 1 III, so it should also work on a rooted device.
I don't think there are any custom ROMs out yet, but even if there are, flashing will be limited to what can be done through fastboot or Magisk, since we don't have TWRP. If you wanted to install Sony apps on a non-Sony ROM, you'd likely need to use a Magisk module to add in the Sony framework to that ROM or the apps wouldn't work (not even sure if something like Camera Pro would work on an entirely non-Sony ROM like LineageOS).
EDIT: Make sure you have a browser and keyboard downloaded, else you will have to reinstall GBoard and Chrome.

To revert, running the below command should work:
adb shell cmd package install-existing --user 0 <package_name>
Example:
adb shell cmd package install-existing --user 0 com.google.android.youtube
If you want to undo everything, just do a find and replace of "adb shell pm uninstall -k" with "adb shell cmd package install-existing" in the script.

Thanks i reverted all the changes and rebooted the phone. The main reason for doing this other than having a few oddities with some of my apps.
Was that everyone is saying android 13 is pushing. so reverted all the changes to see if would push me to android 13 and then i could reapply the debloating script.
So far going into system software update. it keeps saying android 12. up to date. and doesn't seem to be pushing 13 yet.

Hey there, check the variant you have of the 1 IV, currently, only the XQ-CT54 got the update, the US and Asian model is behind for now

I know I can download new apps and make them the default but what I am wondering is if I could completely delete some of the stock/bundled apps that come with the phone with different versions.
For example, instead of Huawei's Contacts or Dialer or SMS applications, I want to use the Google provided ones (assuming they are compatible)
[Google Play URL]/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.dialer
[Google Play URL]/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.contacts
[Google Play URL]/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging
Is this do-able? If so, how?
I am using the US version of Honor 8 that has been unlocked and rooted and running Android 6.0, if that matters.

There is something similar in EMUI 4 as well but all that does is make a new app the default. It doesn't get rid of the bundled apps from the system.
What I want to do is get rid of them completely from the system, so that there are no traces of them.

Install Magisk 11.1 from your custom recovery (11.1 is the only one that works right now).
Flash the linked zip from your custom recovery
This is a Magisk module I created to replace the Dialer, Messages, Calendar, and Contacts with the Google versions. It also replaces the stock Gallery with QuickPic. Like any other Magisk module, if you want to go back to stock, just disable the module and reboot.

Awesome! This is exactly what I was looking for. :good:
I don't know much about Magisk but is this compatible with any version of Honor 8? Or is limited to specific models? I have the US version (FRD-L04 running Android 6.0).
Also how easy is to modify this? For example, instead of using QuickPic, I would like to use Google Photos. I would also like to replace the Calculator, Clock, Email apps with the Google versions. Is that (easily) do-able?

To answer your question, I'll give a brief answer on what Magisk does. Magisk stores all the mods to /system/ in a disk image on the /data/ partition. It injects itself early in the boot process to mount the Magisk image and mount/symlink the mods over top of your /system/ partition. This allows the end user to effectively modify /system/, without actually modifying /system/ -- the actual underlying stock files are untouched.
Conceptually this mod is compatible with all Honor 8 models -- at worst, it will add the Google versions in addition to the stock versions. In my zip I mount the new versions over top of the Huawei stock apps which is what "replaces" them.
It's pretty easily do-able to mod the zip. Just follow the instructions in config.sh and you should be good to go. Install App Inspector from the Play Store to find the install directory of the system apps you want to replace -- either in /system/app/ or /system/priv-app/ and note what they're named. From there, just drop the APK's you want into the proper folder in the zip, update the REPLACE directories as needed in the config, and then load it into Magisk. If a stock app you're replacing has library folders inside the app directory, you have to explicitly name that folder in config.sh so that it mounts over the entire folder instead of a merge-mount.
You may not be able to replace the stock Email client though since I think that will break the email intent service. But worst case scenario, just toggle your module off and keep editing it until it works the way you want. In the case of system apps that aren't tightly integrated, like the Calculator, I'd recommend just mounting a blank folder over top of the system app (essentially disabling it) and then installing your preferred calculator from the Play Store (RealCalc is what I use).

Kind of new to the rooting/tweaking scene, so I wasn't aware I had other options. I went through most of the threads in the Honor 8 forum and there weren't a lot of mentions of how to uninstall the system apps. That's what led me to ask the question in the first place.
Titanium Backup looks cool. What would the benefit be between using Titanium Backup vs. Magisk?

See titanium backup and Magisk r 2 completely different things.
So using Magisk u can use a module which can help u but if u want to edit it it gets complex. Magisk is like SuperSU on steroids. So it's main function is to provide root without modifying system so that Safetynet is bypassed. It also provides system-less modules to get more functionality.
Titanium backup is an app which can perform various functions with root access. Like backing up apps and their data or uninstalling system ones or moving apps to the SD card etc.
But if all u want is to uninstall system apps and if u already have SuperSU then just install this app: https://goo.gl/hK4n5H
It will simply uninstall the applications u select. Also once u uninstall the apps reboot ur phone.

Awesome. Thanks for the info! This is the first time I've looked at rooting/tweaking my phone, so I am learning a lot in a short time. :good:
Anyways, my intent is to have as close to a stock ROM as possible and until the custom ROMs stabilize, I thought I could get rid of the stock apps (such as Clock, Contacts, Dialer, etc.) and replace them with the Google version from the Play Store. Secondly, I also wanted to get rid of the unnecessary Google stuff and flash OpenGApps just to have the bare minimum.
For the first, @Telperion gave a Magisk module that he had written for himself to do exactly that but based on what you described, it sounds like I could just install Titanium Backup and uninstall those apps myself. That might be easier to do.
For the second part, there was a script @ganeshbiyer wrote to uninstall all the Google apps (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...-apps-list-t3521225/post71093292#post71093292) but I couldn't get it to work. But if I understand you correctly, I should be able to do that with Titanium Backup as well.

TB fully removes/replaces the apps -- this might be desirable, but might not be. It's hard to go back and forth between the two once you uninstall.
Magisk mounts over top of the old ones so you get all the benefit without any actual changes to /system/ -- this is more flexible and more desirable for some users.
Personally, I think Magisk and other systemless mods are the future of custom tweaks so I'd suggest that if you think you'll be a tinkerer, learn Magisk modules and do it that way. Ultimately though it's preference.

Strange, that happened to me in the first version of my zip, I set it as a merge-mod and for some reason the existing libraries in the /Gallery2/ folder cause QuickPic to crash. When I set it to 'overwrite' /system/priv-app/Gallery2 which made the libraries disappear, then QuickPic launched normally.
Do you have QuickPic currently installed from the Play Store? If so, uninstall first.
Update: Looked over the zip, it looks good. Try downloading and flashing the mod again, perhaps from Recovery this time (if you added from UI the first go-round). Let me know how that goes.

No, I don't have QuickPic installed from the store. I ran the update on the stock device, before I even set up by Google account on it. And I did flash it from TWRP recovery, so I don't believe that is the issue either. But I'll try again and let you know if it works.
Hello,
What would be the 2019 cleanest way to uninstall a system app?
My case: Flashed xiaomi EU (clean) ROM for a Redmi and it didn't come with youtube preinstalled. I ran to install it but now I noticed it cannot be uninstalled normally, only remove system updates (this one is funny because I assume removing system updates leaves a base version but not sure what a base version of youtube would be for a ROM that didn't have it in the first place, I guess youtube base version would be related to playstore version installed).
So I've seen uninstall procedures via ADB, titaniumbackup (don't own it yet) and other playstore apps. But not sure what would be the most recommended method nowadays, on a rooted phone (magisk) if that makes any difference.
Thanks for your time
Im not too sure I want to flash a custom rom. Im thinking I may want to just keep it stock and debloat it myself. Is there a list somewhere of what can be removed without messing up the phone?
I know flashing a custom rom is faster. But i went thru hell with this phone already and when i tried to put twrp on it it didnt work right. I just dont want to try flashing roms and end up with another bootloop or non working touch screen.
Id rather debloat by freezing in titanium backup and just add xposed to rooted stock (im already rooted)
Depends on what you mean by debloat. You can disable things, but because of the way these phones are, and I'm guessing all phones that come with Android 10, we can't really modify the system partition that way. Your best bet would be to flash a rom that doesn't include gapps, then flash pico gapps if you want the play store.
I've tried a few different things for uninstalling system apps and they all left me in a bootloop. Using apps like Titanium Backup, and even manually deleting files through twrp don't work. Freezing apps works fine.
This worked well for me, very easy

For those of you who don't speak Spanish. The uninstall command to using in ADB is:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 PASTE_PACKAGE_NAME_HERE
Use the command below to get a list of the installed package apps on your phone. You want to use the part that starts with com.some_package_name when using the command above to uninstall a app from your phone using adb.
adb shell pm list packages
This version of the same command should help you find the list of packages associated with the facebook app so you can nuke it from orbit.

A few days ago I had a joyful night uninstalling a bunch of system apps with adb pm uninstall. Maybe because I did not check thoroughly on which package I should uninstall, now I have faced some consequences: OneUI Home crashing on widget page, settings crash on accessibility page etc..
So I am fixing the phone right now. Since I deleted system apps, so factory reset may not work (?). I think I can also flash a factory rom on the phone if needed. However, it would be great if I do not have to wipe everything since some of my apps' data cannot be backed up easily.
I am thinking about grabbing a factory firmware, extract all original apk and try adb install them back, that will make the app a user app, so will that work? Also for future references, is there a safer way to backup an apk file before I attempt to adb uninstall?
Edit: S21 home screen pinch to widget screen crash: Apparently I am not the only one. There might be a bug at One UI Home's late February update.

It's a good app. Useful in tracking down issues as well since it's running in real time.
It can also clear system apk caches that Settings can't touch presumably because the latter leaves nulls. I was able the repair a system apk cache glitch like this saving me a factory reset.

Hi all,
what is the easiest and best way to debloat and optimize S22+. For non rooted users ofc
I dont need all Samsung apps, Facebook etc .
Thanks
The easiest would be to manually disable every app you can. Usually only the ore installed apps, minus the system, take space and ram. Wouldnt mess around with Samsung system apps, since you will lose functionality.
Wouldn't be the easiest but arguably the best, would be going the adb route,
Which allows you to Uninstall by the package.

The easiest would be to manually disable every app you can. Usually only the ore installed apps, minus the system, take space and ram. Wouldnt mess around with Samsung system apps, since you will lose functionality.

[DISCONTINUED] Samsung Galaxy One UI - Optimization Guide

I'm using this guide with some personal changes and so far so good. Just make sure you don't disable or uninstall anything that you use. One example in my case is Bixby routines
You can use adb command:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package_name>
I disabled a lot of things I don't use like dex, windows integration....
Debloating is good for Samsung phones because unnecessary apps are on the phone which slows it down! I'll try it too.

It is just an adb command to disable a package for the current user. You can enable again with:
adb shell cmd package install-existing <package_name>

You mean you've never heard of package disabler pro, u don't have to root ur phone ,go to www.packagedisabler.com, pay the little fee and disable all bloatware, do not buy from the play store, go to their website!! Google play store doesn't offer it anymore anyway I believe!!

Hi guys is there any list what is safe to debloat galaxy s22 plus?
It is quite hard to know which is a safe app to remove (uninstall/disable) ?
Check with this list https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/12jEGQftFUL3vAI03X0Ku1LgoWFQKdwPA_WHuLh_2ics/htmlview
Have to ask google one by one by its package name in order to understand what it is doing for and is necessary?
