Thanks to TiTiB for finding many package names:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=6773321
The package names you can find in the original topic. That's in the topmost hyperlink in this post.
This does not void warranty, but in worse case, you need factory reset.
I recommend anyone wanting to debloat using ADB SHELL procedure, it's easy if you have a Linux USB stick or Linux installation.
First time you've been reading about ADB command? Instructions setting up your phone and computer here:
https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
In Linux, in this case a Debian based distribution like Ubuntu
Code:
sudo apt install adb
Then enable developer mode in your tablet by pressing the Kernel Build number until it says you have enabled developer mode. Learn how to control over a USB cable with ADB commands how to disable or enable packages for the current user ( which is user 0 ). This does not require root, and you will keep your warranty. In your phone settings menu the Developer section will appear and there you need to enable ADB Debugging. Then you start using ADB. See included link far below if this is your first time.
The first command after installing ADB at your Linux system is
Code:
adb shell
If you are using Windows or are new to using ADB:
https://www.xda-developers.com/disable-system-app-bloatware-android/
It's assumed you already in the adb shell with the command above.
You are then in your Tablet in a shell running at it.
For example to DISABLE Bixby you can simply do this
Code:
pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.wakeup
pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.spage
pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.routines
pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.service
pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.visionintelligence
pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.agent
pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.agent.dummy
pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixbyvision.framework
You can list disabled packages with this
Code:
pm list packages -d
To ENABLE Bixby again you can do this
Code:
pm enable com.samsung.android.bixby.wakeup
pm enable com.samsung.android.app.spage
pm enable com.samsung.android.app.routines
pm enable com.samsung.android.bixby.service
pm enable com.samsung.android.visionintelligence
pm enable com.samsung.android.bixby.agent
pm enable com.samsung.android.bixby.agent.dummy
pm enable com.samsung.android.bixbyvision.framework
Or this
Code:
pm enable --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.wakeup
pm enable --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.spage
pm enable --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.routines
pm enable --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.service
pm enable --user 0 com.samsung.android.visionintelligence
pm enable --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.agent
pm enable --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.agent.dummy
pm enable --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixbyvision.framework
For example to UNINSTALL Bixby PERMANENTLY, in the past for Android 6 or less, until Factory Reset you can do this [ Not recommended ?]
See supplemental code written inside this topic, you can bring back uninstalled packages without problem provided you have Android 7 or later!
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.wakeup
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.spage
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.routines
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.service
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.visionintelligence
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.agent
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.agent.dummy
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixbyvision.framework
There are several apps at the Google Playstore which can give you an exact package name for any given application. But simplest method is learning which options the pm in an ADB shell has.
example commands for ADB
Code:
adb shell pm list packages
pm list packages
If you uninstalled with ADB you can only Factory Reset to get the packages back, the Disable/Enable method however work fine without Factory reset to get packages back. I updated this entire post accordingly thanks to another user.
Before you remove all phone like packages, Samsung has Call and Message Continuity working for Galaxy S10, some countries since a few weeks Galaxy S9 and hopefully promised later this year also for the S8. This means you can use your phone to call with your tablet even if it only has WIFI provided you have your phone as is listed as example also connected to WIFI.
If you use ADB shell procedure, you must first write down with package you disable or enable by a text editor if you want to undo the changes. If you don't know the package name you disabled you can not enable it anymore unless you factory reset your device.
Hence the easy example of Bixby, and its package names listed in case you want Bixby back.
I am sure this tutorial I wrote uninstalls a package, but it might be safer you disable a package with ADB commands.
This XDA tutorial below might be the safest method described in following link
https://www.xda-developers.com/disable-system-app-bloatware-android/
This post had been updated to show the difference between JUST DISABLING and PERMANENTLY UNINSTALL of a given package name. The difference is once you use the uninstall method only a factory reset brings that package back, just disabling makes you able to enable it again without problem. Therefore JUST DISABLING is RECOMMENDED ONLY.
New information about ADB commands:
If you have used the UNINSTALL method, here commands to get those packages back.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/how-to-install-uninstalled-packages-t3894235
you can simply use "adb shell cmd package install-existing <package name>" in ADB and you'll get the package back .

Good news everyone for those whom uninstalled Bixby for user 0, I was successfuly able to get Bixby back with the following commands which indeed work.
Code:
adb shell
You are now in a terminal at your computer interfacing with the tablet or phone
Code:
cmd package install-existing com.samsung.android.bixby.wakeup
cmd package install-existing com.samsung.android.app.spage
cmd package install-existing com.samsung.android.app.routines
cmd package install-existing com.samsung.android.bixby.service
cmd package install-existing com.samsung.android.visionintelligence
cmd package install-existing com.samsung.android.bixby.agent
cmd package install-existing com.samsung.android.bixby.agent.dummy
cmd package install-existing com.samsung.android.bixbyvision.framework
So you truly can uninstall Bixby or diable it and even reinstall Bixby without factory reset, that's really good news. I used Bixby as an example, since it is deep in official Samsung Rom its core. It does work to just use
Code:
cmd package install-existing <package name>
I got Bixby back with it, and that is really great since I now will uninstall it again, and You Do Not need To Factory Reset to get Uninstalled Packages back, try following procedure. I really used the uninstall commands over ADB Android Debugging Bridge and since the package was uninstalled for user 0, reinstall an existing package does work! That is great news, since it does not require a factory reset if you have to happen to uninstall for user 0 any package. The same is true but only for Android 7 and later. See the topic linked to that explains people with Android lower than 7 unable to do this. Seems Google did a good job regarding this.
If you know the package names you can use a simple script to automate it.

Please note, this method will work with firmware version 5.2.6.0 and lower. This will NOT work on firmware 5.2.6.1 or higher.
First and foremost, thanks to @bibikalka for his thread on disabling OTA updates on the Amazon Fire TV Stick 2nd Gen. As well as @patriot1889 for creating an app Confireator which allows users to still be able to access the Factory Restore option, WiFi settings, Bluetooth settings and Application Settings in a easy user interface. Finally, thanks to @esc0rtd3w's script to removing bloat on the First Gen Amazon Fire TV Stick which is what I used as a base for what I removed: https://github.com/esc0rtd3w/firestick-loader/blob/master/scripts/debloat/bloat-disable.sh
Run these commands from your ADB using "adb uninstall -k --user 0 "
Below are all the APKs I have disabled. This will remove ALL Amazon features including the launcher, appstore, videos, etc. Make sure you have a different launcher as well as Confireator so you are still able to access the Factory Restore option, WiFi settings, Bluetooth settings and Application Settings. I also suggest using Launcher Hyjack so home button recognition works. Proceed ONLY if you use your Fire Stick v2 for non-Amazon activities and want the performance boost for your device. You have been warned.
Here is a list of everything I have disabled:
Code:
adb uninstall -k --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota

This is as good as it is going to get in terms of getting better performance for us 2nd Gen Fire TV Stick Users out there... until we get root (hopefully)!
Is this list usable for (rooted) fire tv stick 1 (I know I can use pm disable command, I'd just like to know if I can apply it to the same list. I also took a look to the specific debloat thread for ftv stick 1 but packages seems different and never understood which of the packages listed in debloat.sh script are safe to use).
Thanks.

Please see this thread:https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/help/root-disabling-apps-services-bloat-t3325333/page2
Users say they were able to use esc0rtd3w commands to debloat the FTV Stick 1. All the packages should match up perfectly with your's since they are both FTV Stick 1. I can say that my list (which is a FTV stick 2) had the majority of the same package names. So yes, you can use my list above. However, If I were you I would take a look at esc0rtd3w's list to thoroughly disable all your bloat.
Thanks for advice,
I did read that thread. I eve replied to it. It's just that a few users experimented issues with some service I need (Netflix most of all) so I wanted to be sure the whole script was 100% safe. I guess as soon as I have time I'll test the packages one at a time to check if they cause any harm.
Regards.

Unfortunately, I didn't look at my RAM usage before and after as I did not have an apk installed that provided me with that information. However, I use my Amazon Firestick v2 primarily for Kodi and can say that there is no more lag or no freezing while switching menus.
As for your question regarding how much disk space this will save you, @rainman74 summarized it best on the Disable OTA Thread
rainman74 said:
No, you can't debloat your stick/box with esc0rtd3w's hints without root on current firmware versions, because you will not gain additional space on eMMC with only uninstalling apks for user 0. The uninstalled apks remains on eMMC, but in an uninstalled state and therefore "disabled".

Because this is my first ever android app and I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing, haha. Let me check how to remove those permission, as it doesn't need them at all. I'll also add in that other menu option.

Thanks for this. Just an FYI in case you uninstall all your launchers, you can reinstall the one you were using (or maybe any app that regiters as a launcher) via ADB while its booting (adb install tvlauncher.apk or whatever) because it will just get stuck at loading.

Wow! Excellent job with the app you created @patriot1889! I am going to revise my first post and suggest people use your app instead of Activity Launcher as your app is catered specifically to the Fire TV stick and provides a seamless user friendly experience.
Thank you for this and well done! :good:

Do you have got any idea, why I can not start the applications menu in your app and via Activity Launcher it is working (com.amazon.tv.settings/.tv.applications.ApplicationsActivity)?
But the other 3 menus are working fine in your app. Is there a difference between the 3 and the applications menu?
Hi there I'm new to this stuff. I followed the instructions in the first post with a varying degree of success:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb uninstall -k --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota
The -k option uninstalls the application while retaining the data/cache.
At the moment, there is no way to remove the remaining data.
You will have to reinstall the application with the same signature, and fully uninstall it.
If you truly wish to continue, execute 'adb shell pm uninstall -k'
.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.amazon.dcp
Failure - not installed for 0
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.amazon.devicecontrol
Failure - not installed for 0
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.amazon.parentalcontrols
Failure - not installed for 0
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.amazon.precog
Failure - not installed for 0
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.amazon.settings.systemupdates
Failure - not installed for 0

Failure - not installed for 0
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.amazon.tz.webcryptotzservice
Failure - not installed for 0
As you can see I had to vary the command a little (add "shell pm") and there were 7 apps that I got "not installed for 0" for. Besides that it worked a treat and launches into AppStarter so much more quickly.

Same problem here. Can't get a list of apps but all the other options work. When I click "Applications" in conFIREator it goes blue (as if the Amazon launcher is coming on) but then quickly goes back to AppStarter.
@patriot1889 there's somthing wrong at starting the applications menu from your conFIREator:

So, everyone remembers the VZW Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (i605)? I have one I got second hand that had already taken the fatal-final-OTA update that permalocked the bootloader down.. however, I have still rooted and installed Safestrap recovery and damn-near fully customised and tweaked it to my liking(custom boot animation, room slots active, etc)..Well, what about a possible Safestrap-style recovery that could run without root permissions by running some sort of workaround-script?....or would root access still be inevitably needed? Perhaps have the Safestrap recovery create a fully-functioning isolated with admin privileges, something similar to the Island Sandbox Experiment app?
I don't think it would be possible, bootloader's have become super secure in the past 4 years.

What about possibly using ADB to manually install a superuser APK file and also using ADB commands like 'pm grant ....... WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS' to manually enable the permissions and privileges required for installing an SU binary?
That's a good idea if it works. I was able to remove all the Verizon apps from the phone using adb commands.

You completely removed the Verizon apps and not just disabled them?
What adb commands did you use please?
Thanks.

I believe that this procedure actually only disables the apps, although it appears that they are uninstalled. It is my understanding that a factory reset will re-enable/re-install all the apps. Read about half-way down this page.

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:

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

you have to specify the package name of the application youre using
example, on google chrome, its com.android.chrome, not com.sec.android.app.chrome(afaik .sec is related to samsung apps)
though you can verify by finding it in app info or rummage through /[internal storage]/Android/data where it uses app's package names, or type pm list packages in adb shell
you can follow the tutorial from xda themselves here: https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
though alternatively, you can use debloat scripts to automate the process, but it requires flashing twrp which will trip knox if youre on stock(though most debloat scripts removes knox stuff aswell so idk), and you dont require root for it to work
