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.
Post in thread '[Guide] Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Debloat Without Root-Info' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...bloat-without-root-info.3935010/post-85910045
Hello XDA,
This is the first script I have ever made.
I would like to thank the developers here on XDA for inspiring me to learn. this would not have been possible without you all posting the information you freely post.
I want to also personally thank user bbtdev, your post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/note-9-debloat-bash-script-t3907659
was my inspiration to dig in and learn scripting in bash. and my work is based off of your post.
I wanted to have something automated that I can use to run ADB without having to put in all the redundent stuff. Not just to debloat my unrooted note9 but to also enable it back again if the need arised. After starting I thought maybe there might also be a need to do some individual packages and decided that would also be a nice option as well. To keep this short the script at this time debloat what I have debloated of my Note 9, this could be different on yours but everything I need works great. it will also allow you to undo the debloat process and enable everything it disabled. You can easily look at enable,disabled,system and third party packages wit just the click of a button. Also you can just manually enable or disable packages just by adding the name of the package.
I am sure experienced programmers will find some easier way to code it or even bugs, but like I said my first attempt and just wanted to share what I have learned over the past day. i also understand there may be other scripts like this I am not sure but if so it is not my intent to copy. my intent is just to learn and practice.
so have a look.
thanks.

How to Use
This tutorial is assuming you already have ADB on your system with USB Debugging enabled
1.) Root your device using one of the provided methods in this section
2.) Once Rooting is complete, plug your device into your PC
3.) Open Notepad, copy the code above and paste it.
4.) Save it as BloatRemover.bat (or anything you want)
5.) Double click it when saved and it will automatically remove all the walmart stuff from the tablet! Should work on both the 7 and 10 inch tablets released on Black Friday.
Script 2 Edit Update @CyberstormFox for the info on the walmart logo nav bar button app...
@ragtop429 for the NavBar Reset ADB Code to remove the walmart logo button (although your code was slightly wrong )
Added to the script of everything pertaining to phone operation that was disabled anyway and Text Messaging.
Additional bloat
I also recommend adding the app com.mid.kubedemo.
It's the app that's launched when you hit the Walmart logo embedded in the left side of the navbar.
If anyone can figure out how to remove the icon itself, that would be nice.
It's still there, but now does nothing.

yo, thanks for letting me know which one it is. I've actually gotta update this script anyway as I've added everything that pertains to using your phone and text messaging to the debloater as you can't put a sim card in these and its all "disabled" taking up space anyway. I'll edit it right now

How to Use
This tutorial is assuming you already have ADB on your system with USB Debugging enabled
1.) Root your device using one of the provided methods in this section
2.) Once Rooting is complete, plug your device into your PC
3.) Open Notepad, copy the code above and paste it.
4.) Save it as BloatRemover.bat (or anything you want)
5.) Double click it when saved and it will automatically remove all the walmart stuff from the tablet! Should work on both the 7 and 10 inch tablets released on Black Friday.
Script 2 Edit Update @CyberstormFox for the info on the walmart logo nav bar button app...
@ragtop429 for the NavBar Reset ADB Code to remove the walmart logo button (although your code was slightly wrong )
Added to the script of everything pertaining to phone operation that was disabled anyway and Text Messaging.

Just wanted to add this.
You can do a temp root using mtk-su
Guide HERE
If you get the following error when you run the batch file
Code:
Fix NavBar back to Stock Android
/system/bin/sh: home: not found
/system/bin/sh: recent,space: not found
Try manually going to ADB Shell and typing the code there manually
In this case:
Code:
adb shell
settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "space,back;home;recent,space"

I had actually fixed all this and totally forgot about this post to edit it
Root is not needed to change the navbar.
just in case anyone is in my same boat and doesn't have adb installed as a system app (or whatever you call it such that you can access adb from any directory on your computer) and you have to actually be in the platform_tools directory to use adb commands, make sure you copy this bat file to said directory or it won't do anything. once you move it there, it'll work fine.
also... for some reason the nav bar edit didn't work from the bat file. i had to do that one manually.
anyway, thanks for this!

If that doesn't work try:
adb shell settings put secure sysui_nav_bar 'space[1.5WC],back;home;recent,space[1.5WC]'
Root access not needed to remove walmart button.
Quotes
Looks like putting single quotes inside the double quotes works (and should work in the bat file):
Code:
C:\otherApps\platform-tools>adb shell settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "space,back;home;recent,space"
/system/bin/sh: home: not found
/system/bin/sh: recent,space: not found
C:\otherApps\platform-tools>adb shell settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "'space,back;home;recent,space'"
C:\otherApps\platform-tools>adb shell settings get secure sysui_nav_bar
space,back;home;recent,space
The problem is that semicolon is the command delimiter for a 'sh' shell, so it splits the string into three separate commands, but "home" and "recent,space" are not valid. By including the single quotes inside the double, the string gets passed to the shell as a single argument.
Thanks for the script - it otherwise worked well!

For everyone with the new 2020 tablets. This script will not work.
I've tried it. You can use adb tools to remove apps though so just do them individually since the tablet no longer have the same exact apps. It really doesn't contain that much bloat. The navigation bar is not easily modified through adb anymore due to android 10. Walmart allows for a two button navigation and a gesture. However, if you change your launcher you cannot use gestures.
The two apps that control the navigation bar are:
com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.twobutton - This one has only two buttons (No walmart button)
com.androidinternal.systemus.navbar.threebutton - This one has three buttons plus the walmart button so a total of 4
I'm going to see if I can install another nav bar to get the stock android bar, but I'm not sure which one to get yet.

Any update on this? Did you find a nav bar that worked, with no Walmart button?
Not sure if anyone did this yet but since it looks like Android removed the ability to mess with the nav bar in Android 10, I used the code:
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural
To enable gestures, which removes the Walmart icon and then I used
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*
to hide the gesture bar. Gestures still work just fine as of now.

This didn't work me fully. everything works from home screen but in apps can't pull up from bottom for app switcher.
Phone Setup
1.Launch the Settings application on your phone.
2.Tap the About Phone option generally near the bottom of the list.
3.Then tap the Build Number option 7 times to enable Developer Mode. You will see a toast message when it is done.
4.Now go back to the main Settings screen and you should see a new Developer Options menu you can access.
5.Go in there and enable the USB Debugging mode option.
Microsoft Windows ADB Setup
1.Download the ADB ZIP file for Windows
2.Extract the contents of this ZIP file into an easily accessible folder (such as C:\adb)
3.Open Windows explorer and browse to where you extracted the contents of this ZIP file
4.Then open up a Command Prompt from the same directory as this ADB binary. This can be done by holding Shift and Right-clicking within the folder then click the “open command prompt here” option. (Some Windows 10 users may see “PowerShell” instConnect your smartphone or tablet to your computer with a USB cable. Change the USB mode to “file transfer (MTP)” mode. Some OEMs may or may not require this, but it’s best to just leave it in this mode for general compatibility.
5.In the Command Prompt window, enter the following command to launch the ADB daemon: ./adb devices
6.On your phone’s screen, you should see a prompt to allow or deny USB Debugging access. Naturally, you will want to grant USB Debugging access when prompted (and tap the always allow check box if you never want to see that prompt again).
7.Finally, re-enter the command from step #6. If everything was successful, you should now see your device’s serial number in the command prompt.

Is it safe to uninstall google app from phone ?
Warning!!!! Warning!!!!
Do it with your own risk! For correctest, I 'm not responsered - please read it very carefully!

This article is in German - please use an online translator!
Here is the short form:
Open the adb shell in the computer:
Code:
adb shell
su
Listing the packages:
Code:
pm list packages |grep samsung
List the packages the 3rd providers:
Code:
pm list packages -3
Packages forever erasing:
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 [name of the package from the list]
And install your own packages collection, on the fast and easy way
First copy the apps in to the tmp directory:
Code:
cp /use/your/own/path/the/collection/*.apk /data/local/tmp
Please use here your own path, where is the collection!
The installation:
Code:
for app in /use/the/full/path/for/the/*.apk [ type Enter]
do $(pm install --user 0 $app) [type Enter]
done; [type Enter]
Please use the full path for the installation!
To eliminate this error:
Code:
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_URI]
Responser
Code:
: Success: inaccessible or not found
This is normal. Important >> Success <<
Finally, the job has done, cleaning the tmp directory:
Code:
rm -rf /data/local/tmp/*.apk
This was it, and very simple.
To Debloat this phone we have to create whitelist of apps.
This debloat for advanced users.
Before you begin you should install custom launcher, SMS app, dialer, camera app and keyboard and any other which stopped working.
If something went wrong you can restart phone by holding vol down + pwr (more than 7 seconds), then when phone restarts release them and hold vol up to enter recovery (sometimes you had to reflash with odin in download mode not only wipe data and cache).
At the beginning we should remove all updated system apps:
Code:
pm uninstall-system-updates
Then we can remove all samsung and 3hrd party apps:
I will add more apps to remove to this list. I'm trying to prepare list of minimal apps from AOSP.
