# Universal Android Debloater

Bash script using ADB for unrooted smartphones.

**DISCLAIMER** : I am not responsible for thermonuclear war, you getting fired because you disabled the alarm app or for anything that could happen to your phone actually. :)

Don't worry, this script is pretty safe if you only use my debloat lists. The worse thing you can do is "deleting" (you don't delete actually -- cf.FAQ) a system packet essential to the system preventing the phone to boot correctly (bootloop). After about 5 failed system boot, the phone will automatically boot into recovery mode enabling you to do a FACTORY RESET. 

You can NOT brick your device with this script !
