[F3213] [N] Removing system apps without root - Sony Xperia XA Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion

Warning up front: You can mess up your phone if you uninstall something that is needed for normal operation. Please do some research before you make any changes to your phone.
With Nougat out we can use ADB Shell on the XA Ultra to uninstall some unwanted system apps. In my case I don't really use the Sony stuff so I've uninstalled most of it. On a couple of apps that I do want installed but I don't want them running in the background I've used appops to prevent them from running in the background. I feel like my battery life has doubled since I did this. The amount of available memory has certainly increased.
I'm not making a full guide here since there are many out there already but here is the gist:
Put your phone in developer mode (tap on build number 7 times) and then enable USB debugging. Connect your phone to your computer with USB cable.
Use ADB on your computer to open a shell from the windows command prompt: ADB Shell. Tutorial on installing ADB here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266638
Within the shell you can list packages to see what you might want to uninstall with this command:
pm list packages -d
You'll get a long list of all the packages on your phone. I copied that list out of the shell into an editor and then added the uninstall commands below to certain ones to uninstall them. Here's what I've uninstalled with no ill effect (formatted for easy cut and paste):
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.system
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sony.tvsideview.videoph
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonyericsson.textinput.chinese
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonyericsson.warrantytime
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.enterprise.service
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.gettoknowit
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.moviecreator
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.moviecreator.rmm
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.music.googlelyricsplugin
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.music.wikipediaplugin
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.mx.android
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.sketch
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.support
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.appmanager
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.katana
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.spotify.music
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.getmore.client
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sony.tvsideview.phone
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonyericsson.trackid
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.amazon.mShop.android.shopping
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.scee.psxandroid
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.entrance
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.s.antivirus
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonyericsson.xhs
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.xperialounge.services
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.xperiaservices
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.music.youtubekaraokeplugin
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.tvout.wifidisplay
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonymobile.music.youtubeplugin
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sonyericsson.trackid.res.overlay_305
For apps that I want to keep installed but I don't want them running in the background I used this format: "cmd appops set {package name] RUN_IN_BACKGROUND ignore"
For example:
cmd appops set net.zedge.android RUN_IN_BACKGROUND ignore
That was for Zedge. I still have Zedge installed on the phone in case I want to get some incredibly annoying ringtone to use during the third hour of our weekly hour long project review. I just don't want Zedge doing things on my phone when I'm not looking at it.
In developer options on your phone there's a running services section that is good to check for things that might need to be ignored using the above command. You can try killing something that is running here first to see if it messes with things you might want (like hangouts - I need mine running in the background).
I'm sure there were more packages I could have uninstalled but I was looking for mild gain with minimal risk.
I did this to the Xperia XA Ultra F3213 but I'm pretty sure it will be very similar on other models.

@grogzero
thanks for the useful tips bro .. :good: ..
i was jus doing this method to stop background running apps from this thread https://www.xda-developers.com/freeze-app-background-processes-without-root-android-nougat/ ..
now as per your thread i was jus following to uninstall the system apps . but aft running the command i get only few apps

just remove the '' - d " from the commandline " pm list packages - d"
nothing will be lost if you try

Thanks for this thread bro. Did it. Now deleted all the unwanted system apps. Now phone is light and battery is good I guess. Also disabled few apps using this link https://www.xda-developers.com/freeze-app-background-processes-without-root-android-nougat/..

it will not go. it will simply disable from the user.. try factory reset it will comeback.
root your nougat bro
image enhancements are not much great on our xa ultra, we can manually make it look like over saturated by changing white balance...
i dont know about any working drm fix
and i dont care at allabout stupid drms

thank you for being genius dude.. you are the man!
i will try this on my F3216 tonight & hope there's less needed my XAU to be rooted!
thanks again!
edit:
mine are stuck on removing spotify. is it necessary to clear data first before execute?

The problem is this methods doesn't wipe the apps leftover..
i can't instal another version of spotify
some help please?

Debloated Firmware for ATT SM-G935A

Hey guys!
I am looking to debloat the ATT and Samsung apps on my Galaxy S7 edge. I'm not necessairly looking to root. I just want to be free of all these useless apps I do not use. Is there anyone who has made this already that can be flashed using Odin? Thanks for helping a girl out, if you can!
Successfull debloat without root and additional apps
Hiya, SoYaThink,
The thread is a bit old, but still hope this will help somebody:
I soft bricked my phone about 10 times trying different ways to root it.
Blew up the warranty bit as well (no biggie for me, since I don't intend to use Samsung Pay and Knox)
Finally stumbled upon a brilliant solution (apologies for not being able to give proper credits, lost the link)
What you need is ADB tools, a nice USB cable and your fone!
(I used ADB fastboot)
I also installed an app called "Package inspector" in order to be able to verify the package names, so I did not risk to remove something wrong. Any app that lists your system packages and does not require root should do.
Before the long novel, I'd like to say that if you need more info or help give me a shout and I'll try to help.
I'm no expert, but I went through some fun and boot loops with my phone, so I seem to do ok for someone that has no clue
FIRST and foremost! Few words of caution.
Do not unistall anything that you are even slightly unsure about.
Yes, you can brick your phone by using the below method if you are not careful!
Therefore, I do not recommend using ready-made scripts, unless you read thoroughly and understand very well what they actually will remove. (I did brick my phone using a script, and I thought I was sure what was going on...)
Fully manual, line-by-line may seem tedious and time consuming, but it's mild compared to what an un-bricking will take (if it is even possible to un-brick...)
So, if you are unsure about a package, research WWW and make sure it will not affect your phone in negative way.
My phone specs after un-bricking:
Samsung s7 Edge
SM-G935F (EUR/UK)
Android 8.0.0 Oreo (hero2lte)
So here it goes:
- Download and install /or unzip/ ADB tools in a dir of your choice
- Enable Developer Options on your phone
(How: Settings -> About Phone -> Software Informations -> Tap on Build Number 7 times)
Now you should see Developer Options at the bottom of your Settings
- In the Developer options menu, enable USB debugging.
- Connect Your phone to computer with USB.
You should see a prompt on yur phone about the RSA key. Klick OK. If you want, you can also check "Always allow from this computer" - will save you more clicking on prompts further on.
- On the computer, start CMD (command prompt) in the same directory as adb.exe (Right click in the folder and choose "Open command window here")
- To test whether ADB is working properly, in CMD, type
adb devices
You should see a line "List of devices attached" and under it a device alphanumeric code.
If this doesn't work for you, you might need to install drivers for your phone.
Now the fun part begins.
- On your phone, check the name of the app package that you want to remove, for example Instagram.
- Open adb shell by typing in CMD
adb shell
- Execute the command (WITHOUT the curly brackets quotes) to find specific package names:
pm list packages | grep '{part or whole package name}'
for Instagram, the command would be
pm list packages | grep 'instagram'
Note: packages may or may not contain a key word derived from the app name, and
Some apps have more that one package that need to be removed.
Hence why you could use a package listing app
You could remove it when you're debloated.
- To uninstal a specific package, in adb execute the following command:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 {name of package}
For Instagram, that would be:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.instagram.android
Voila! One bloatware gone!
Now go on and do the same for all pesky bloats that you want gone.
Here's (a very) cautious list of what I removed:
(Not a lot, but I'm happy with it:

LG G6 H870DS Debloat, Bloatware Removal, No Root

Massive debloat. Removes 134 packages.
The same package list may work for other recent LG Phones: V20, V30, V40, G6, G7, G8.
The removal process does not require root. It uses ADB on a Windows PC, connected to the phone over USB.
It is a good idea to start by loading LG's latest official, non carrier firmware for your market. This will eliminate carrier bloatware. Carrier bloat may also prevent removal of packages due to dependencies.
LGUP, Uppercut and Firmware links below.
To remove packages
PC > Install USB Drivers and ADB. Links below.
LG > Activate Developer options. Settings > System > About Phone > Common > Software Info > Tap build 7 times.
LG > Activate USB Debugging. Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging.
> Connect phone to PC via USB cable
PC > Right Click Start Button and select Windows Powershell.
PC cmd window > Change to your adb folder. For example. > cd \adb
PC cmd window > Enter adb shell > .\adb shell
PC cmd window $ > paste the list of pm uninstall commands here. List in the next post.
To reinstall a package
PC > .\adb shell
PC $ > cmd package install-existing package.name
List all Systems Packages
PC > .\adb shell
PC $ > pm list packages -f -s | sed -e 's/.*=//' | sort

Take a look in ROOT > SYSTEM > PRIV-APP for the themesquare folder and APK. Try to reload the APK.
Alternatively reload firmware using the links in my first post.
After removing all the apps from your list I couldn't login to my Google Accounts on my G7 anymore. Had to restore everything to be able again.
Do you know which package could be the cause of this?
(I tried Google quicksearchbox, but that wasn't the problem)

If you uninstall an app that breaks something, provided the phone is not bricked you can use the command "adb shell cmd package install-existing package.name.here"

Yes I know I did that to restore all packages.
But I wondered if you know which of the removed apps caused this behavior, so I could remove all other apps again.
So I figured it out:
On LG G7 do not unistall:
com.google.android.webview
This breaks the Google Account login!
Also I was able to remove these:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.launcher3 # This breaks gesture App Switcher.
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.launcher2.theme.optimus #Be sure to have installed another launcher!!
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.gallery.aodimagewidget # sth. with always on display
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.ar.core
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.floatingbar
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.quicktools
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mcafee.security.safefamily
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.coneshortcut
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.equalizer #Equalizer
And do you know which package is needed to use faceunlock feature? (Cant select Faceunlock after debloating)
Edit: Found it on my own.
To not remove Faceunlock keep this packages:
com.lge.faceglance.enrollment # FaceUnlock
com.lge.faceglance.trustagent # FaceUnlock

On my G7 the Themeselector is present and works regularly after debloating.
However I'd try to re-enable one or both of these these packages (they could be the cause I guess):
com.lge.themeservice
com.lge.themesquare #Theme
i uninstalled some of these (as well as the LGSetupWizard but i dont think its bc of that) up to the lg memories album. Now some of my apps arent working.
Apps that keep crashing:
DuckDuckGo
Tutanota
Discord
In addition to that, Aurora Store tells me it cant find an API and doesnt load anything
Any idea what this couldve been?

Debloat the preinstalled apps - GUIDE

Hi everyone. After a couple of days using the s20+ I was wondering is there any way to debloat some of the preinstalled apps i.e - Netflix, Spotify, Members, S health, Browser etc. I've tried with adb and it turns out that is working. I removed some of the apps that I don't want and all is good. Here are the steps that I did:
Enable the Usb debugging in developer options
Open cmd and navigate to the folder with the installed ADB
Once there start the service with the following command
adb devices
This will show you is your phone connected to the PC. If connecting for the first time please give permissons on the phone screen and put it in File Transfering mode
adb shell
pm list packages
This will show you all the packages installed on the phone. The list is very long but you can search for specific one for example packages from google
pm list package | grep 'google'
When you locate the package you want to debloat type pm uninstall -k --user 0 package-name where package-name is your desired package as shown below.
I have uninstalled the following and consider them as safe to uninstall.
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.netflix.mediaclient - netflix
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.netflix.partner.activation - netflix
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.sree - Samsung global goals
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.voc - Samsung members
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.microsoft.office.outlook - Outlook
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sec.android.app.sbrowser - samsung browser
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager - Samsung Wear
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sec.android.app.shealth - S Health
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.microsoft.skydrive - Onedrive
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.microsoft.appmanager - Your companion
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.spotify.music - spotify
If you have trouble identifying the package name, simply go to Google Play Store on your browser and search for the app. Check the URL for the package name. It will be shown at end of the URL.
Please feel free to add packages that you locate and are SAFE to be uninstalled
Cheers
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82181293&postcount=142 (see first post of this topic to fit your needs)
I would suggest to use "adb shell pm disable-user --user 0" instead of uninstall, in case of ROM update.

This method of uninstalling the apps won't affect if there is ROM update due to the fact that we are uninstalling only for the current user not the system. Without root this is the only way. Disableing the apps is possible for most of them via the phone itself. Here I am providing a way that is different of disable Cheers

Some entries are from COS because I updated afterwards to RUI, so I didn't check anything from scratch again.
If you debloated to much, you can reinstall apps with command: cmd package install-existing <name of package>
Feel free to test and tell if there are any issues or options to debloat even more.
For faster editing I recommend Notepad++.
a little bit of concern.
you should put a brief description/information per app to prevent confusion to those who will debloat their devices for the first time. for example
com.coloros.phonemanager = Phone Manager
so people won't gonna debloat their preferred apps.
and also, just a reminder. this guide is a bit to agressive, like com.coloros.athena, that is needed for the app killer functionality in recent task menu (the X button). so yea that's it, sorry for my bad engrish.
I use Oppo A3S/CPH1853 (Color OS 5.2) so COS version will also matter on how these apps behave.
As it's written:
For those who want to debloat the stock system without root, here my list with apps uninstalled for me.
Means:
It's my daily driver and yes much debloated, but for my purpose everything is fine.
Everyone has other preferences and apps he / she wants to use and for those there are several apps on Google Play telling you which app is installed and where.
Reminder also:
On RUI there's no X in task manager, but delete and it's still working!
And also from above:
Feel free to test and tell if there are any issues or options to debloat even more.

You may misunderstood me, i'm sorry for the "X" thingy but it is the Clear button. and after debloating it's stopped functioning. it still leave the task, i also mentioned COS version there and that's just my concern. just a small input for those who are in lower version as yours.
+ you have your personal preference in debloating right? well every person has it's own preference so just adding app name will make a big difference for those 1st timers.
no offense but i just did what you want others to do and you repeated it twice, as stated:

And for that reason there are several APK managers in Google Play.
Obviously everyone should have a look at the list, what will be debloated, before executing blind and wondering if something is missing, what he / she needs.
Can you imagine how much time it took me to figure out what can be debloated and what not?
It's not just a copy & paste list from other threads with Oppo or Realme lists, which you can find on XDA, too.
So if your issue exists in COS with Oppo, ok fine I got it.
But then just leave it out and you're fine, too.
Otherwise you can create a list for yourself from scratch, if you want to be 100% safe and to make that work again.

lmao dude i don't get it lmao, so basically ur just offended on what i said from the beginning? there's no need for that. i created tons of debloating scripts in the past and i don't think you created this from scratch because basing from your list i see other packages in other debloating lists (using other debloat scripts as a base for this one). if you can't take any compliments then i won't gonna reply afterwards, too salty.. i see your guide as non-friendly and i want to turn that into one because ur guide is too aggressive. jajajaja i'm out dude if you can't take Some Tips and Compliments.
to make long story short, my whole point on this is to make this more friendly to new users, well because debloating will be their 1st move instead of rooting. if that offended you because ik it will be another pain in the ass that's another story for later. kek :'v
i don't want any argument or similar like that, i just want more clarifications to the newer members who will try this guide. no offense but you become too aggressive.

[HOW-TO][DEBLOAT][ADB] The ultimate ADB debloating thread for the S20/+/U series

Hi, i´ve seen some threads and questions about debloating in the s20 forum, but by having a quick look at them, theres not much information for beginners. Thats why I decided to sign up and join the xda community. I would like to make this the discussion thread for debloating related stuff, packed with all information needed and want you guys to join and share. I´m rooting, debloating my devices with passion since Galaxy S2 for various reasons, my main drive to do so is privacy among others.
Some people might ask: Why use adb to debloat when there are debloating apps in the play store?
Simple, the advantage of using adb is, its a built-in android feature, no need for apps that are loaded with trackers and analytics. You can simply generate your own debloat list.txt and store it on your computer, this is what i advise everybody to do, in case you break something you´ll have the list of what you did and you can work with it. It´s also very useful to have your own list in case you switch roms, reflash rom or had to factory reset for whatever reason. In this case just copy & paste your list in the terminal hit enter, reboot, boom your done. Simple, fast and effective, with an app you´ll have to debloat every app one by one, which is very time consuming. However package manager have their use case, especially when you´re on the run and want to enable/disable an app.
When uninstalling apps via adb, the package still remains in its directory and is not deleted from its partition, it simply gets uninstalled/unlinked from your user account. This has the advantage you can easily reinstall them by adb in case you broke a feature but it also means you won´t free up space by doing so unless you use the right uninstall command to at least delete the /data and /cache directory. (For the paranoid people out there, the uninstalled apps wont do nothing, no background activity, internet/dns requests or whatever, they are dead by using the pm uninstall -k --user 0 command)
This all sounds perfectly safe and easy, but it isn't. pm uninstall still is a powerful command that can uninstall system apps and by doing so it can mess up your system. If you uninstall the wrong system app and your stuck in a bootloop or the system doesn´t boot at all, the game will be over but you can´t hard brick your device. If you´re able to establish an adb connection while booting simply reinstall the troublemaker. If you can´t connect while booting, factory reset, wipe data/cache is the way to go or reflash firmware with CSC not HOME_CSC! If you don´t know what you´re doing then do some research before uninstalling system apps, always have a recent backup, in case something goes wrong.
disabling or uninstalling?
i prefer uninstalling. A disabled app, can still be seen by other apps and i don´t want that. It´s even possible to disable an system app and your system will run perfectly fine, but when uninstalling the app your system won´t boot anymore.
I go with uninstalling, but thats just personal preference. You can always play safe and disable.
You will still receive OTA updates and uninstalled apps stay uninstalled after the update, but it´s better to check after every update, there could be changes made to the update and/or additional bloat could be installed. better be safe than sorry.
YOU DON´T NEED ROOT FOR THIS, you can disable/uninstall apps via adb without rooting your device. You will not trip knox or risk your warranty, by doing so. This is most likely the best part for the most users out there.
Something to note is, that some system apps reinstall themselves after a reboot. Thats the limit of pm uninstall command, because it won´t remove the package from the system dir. In case you want that system app removed, you´ll have to remove that package with a root file explorer a root package manager. But be warned, your playing with fire. I´ll mention known packages that show this behaviour down below the list and if it´s possible to get rid of them.
If you find yourself in the situation where you really have to delete packages from /system because it´s mandatory (microG) for what you´re going to mod, i recommend Debloater (Terminal Emulator) from Magisk repository along with Termux. Of course your device needs to be rooted to modify system, but if you get this far you are already rooted.
edit:
race conditions caused Debloater magisk module to not work as intended with my setup and microG, if you're experiencing problems remove packages with a root file manager and back them up manually if needed.
what you need:
- a computer, if you´re on a linux machine you´re a lucky bastard just download the latest android platform tools from your repository, you might have to enable AUR, depending on your distro. install it and your set to go.
- if you´re on a windows machine (commands maybe a little different), you´ll need adb and drivers. I´m a linux user, i have no experience with adb and windows, so if you might have, hit me up and explain whats needed with a link. I´ll happily add it here to make it easier for beginners.
- a usb cable with data connection, the original charging cable is fine
- activated USB debugging in developer settings. activate developer settings: go in to your system settings/phone info/software info/ hit buildnumber a couple times. this will activate the developer settings found in settings/ search for usb-debugging and activate it.
Note: don´t forget to disable usb-debugging after you´re finished and tested your system thoroughly, as leaving this activated is a security concern.
Let´s start with some useful commands related to adb debloat, type in your terminal:
adb shell
- this will connect your device after you confirmed the connection on your phone
pm list packages
- will show you all installed packages
pm list packages | sort
- will show you all installed packages sorted
pm list packages google
- will show you all packages with google in it, or for example: pm list packages samsung, will show you all packages with samsung in its name
dumpsys package package.name.example
- this will show you more information about the package
###
pm uninstall -k --user 0 package.name.example
- this will uninstall the package for you (--user 0) but it will keep (-k) its /data and /cache directories, (app updates won´t get removed)
pm uninstall --user 0 package.name.example
- this will uninstall the package for you (--user 0) and will delete the /data and /cache directories, app updates will get deleted. this command will free up some space
cmd package install-existing package.name.example
- this will reinstall the uninstalled package
- if you have more user accounts on your device and want to uninstall a package for a specific user just change the --user 0 command to for example: pm uninstall -k --user 1 package.name.example
###
pm disable-user --user 0 package.name.example
- this will deactivate the package
pm enable --user 0 package.name.example
- will activate the package again
pm list packages -d
- will show you disabled packages
- if you have more user accounts on your device and want to disable a package for a specific user just change the --user 0 command to for example: pm disable-user --user 0 package.name.example
###
reboot
- will reboot your device
this is just a tiny fraction of adb commands, to not make it more complicated than it is... you´ll mostly need the pm uninstall or pm disable command.
Feel free to use a package manager app to search for apps and their package names, this will give you additional information about the package, for example it´s icon, location path,...
I am using OpenApk from the f-droid store to search for packages or to disable or uninstall them by hand, unfortunately the app is unmaintained since 2 years or so and the uninstallation of apps doesnt work anymore on the S20+/Android 10, but disabling/enabling still works perfectly fine. It´s free, open-source, no tracking, no analytics, requests root for disabling/uninstalling. I also use xprivacylua, to search for apps by app name, package name and even UID, comes very handy. Also free, open-source, no tracking, no analytics, needs root and xposed/edxposed to run.
If these 2 apps don´t work for you, use your favourite package manager app.
UPDATE 01062020:
(Samsung and Android added much more malicious actions to apps in Android 10, but that was expected as peoples data is their currency, this is making protecting your data and privacy next to impossible.)
I added more apps to the list and regrouped them, sorry theres no such thing like a changelog.
Enjoy
UPDATE 11122020
Sorry for the long delay, this update contains more unneeded apps, especially apps that run with UID1000, i regrouped the list and cleaned a little bit up here and there. Currently running BTJ4.
There's are not many apps calling home now and these connections are easily blocked via DNS and firewall.
Note: essential functions like VoLTE are still working.
Stay tuned and enjoy
UPDATE 07022021
currently Android 11 CUA8, Samsung added some more apps and integrated "com.osp.app.signin" into the Settings menu, so if you encounter any problems with the setting menu force closing reinstall (cmd package install-existing com.osp.app.signin) (i commented the app in the list)
have fun

this is my list and these apps are safe to debloat without breaking your system, even though it´s safe, it doesn´t mean it won´t break features for you. This is how i use the phone, it will break features you are using if you just copy&paste this list! I highly encourage you to take my list only as a reference, do your homework and create your own list. This list was created on a virgin S20+ 5G SM-G986B/DS DBT on the latest ATCT/ATD3 1. April security patch, (edit: now on ATE6/1. May security patch) that i just got this week, after the first initial setup wizard there have been 444 apps been pre-installed, which is much more than on my previous devices. Depending on your carrier and region you might have some different bloat. I consider this as a soft debloat list, because there is still a lot of bloat from samsung and android left, beware that samsungs app store, Themes (both with malicious background behaviour/permission requests), Notes, smart things,... have inbuilt trackers and google analytics, which is a big **** move from samsung to add this to their own apps. This is my first android 10 device, so I didn´t go to hard on it on the first run, i wanna play around with it and see what´s changed. I will do some logging and I will update the list after a few day or weeks. Please understand that I didn´t add all the app names to the packages, it would be just too time consuming and definitely not possible for me at the moment, if it´s not clear from the package name use a package manager to find it out on your own, however i grouped them up, more or less accurate and added the pm uninstall -k --user command for your convenience, feel free to use your desired command.
With this list, ALL camera features are working, AR and even bixby dependent stuff like single take, barcode scanner but bixby vision depends on: com.google.android.gms and com.google.android.gsf so don´t uninstall them if you want this feature or switch to microG. (If a guide to install microG is needed by the community, i can write it down when i have time, but before requesting anything do your own research and inform yourself about it thoroughly, root is mandatory for microG)

Nope. I'm not breaking the rules or anything. I can see he's reported my post so we'll just let a moderator have the final say. I quoted a post because i had a question to ask....nothing wrong with that.

Hello all. Seems things are getting a little heated in here, so let's all just calm down a bit before things get really out of hand. To @chieco and @speedyjay, both of you are well seasoned veterans on XDA, and have had many contributing posts to the community, as well as a warning or two along the way from other moderators. Having said that, the simple fact of the matter is this. While there are no formal rules prohibiting the quoting of posts, no matter how long they are, it is always recommended to either use hide tags for the long posts, or just quote a portion of the post your most interested in, or just mention the member and ask your question. I am asking you kindly to put aside your bickering over quoted posts, or whatever other issues you might have with each other, and just keep the thread on topic, while being respectful to all members in the thread. As you can see, I added a hide tag to the long quoted post so as to keep the thread nice and neat. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter one and all, and stay safe out there.

Perfect. Thank you buddy. Although i was not bickering, i was merely stating that no rules were broken by myself. But that being said, what you have said sounds fair and will be taken on board.

Yes with all the other google apps. If you go down this road, you can get your apps from aurora store and f-droid.
Hey guys I've debloated my s20 based on the s10 threads and the s20 threads... is there a package that you guys know of that will break samsung store updates for samsung apps? I have updates pending but upon selecting the updates tab it force closes... I'm asking here because I don't know if its something I've debloated

the samsung app store doesn't have any dependencies that will break it completely when removed, but you'll need com.osp.app.signin for the log-in. so check if you have debloated the signin app, if that doesn't work out, your problems must be from somewhere else, try deleting the app data and cache and try again, if that doesn't work do a clean re-install of the 2 apps.
btw: i will push an update to the list soon
Does anyone know what the secure folder user number is?
I haven't enabled the secure folder yet, but if i do, i can imagine it will be like my S10 Plus was and certain apps i already removed from user 0 will still be listed in the secure folder. I think they need to be removed as a different user.
Thank you for share.
Thanks!
## UPDATE ##
I updatet the list and more to come, enjoy
