## Summary
|
||||
I try to provide and maintain a universal tool which remove bloatwares on any (unrooted) Android phones.

I try to provide and maintain a universal tool which remove bloatwares on any (non-rooted) Android phones.
|

|

The main goal is to improve battery performance and privacy by limiting the tracking from preinstalled apps. The script has a menu that lets you choose what debloat list you want to use. I strongly encourage you to take a look at the lists because some apps are commented out by default. All packages are as well documented as possible in order to provide a better understanding of what you can delete or not.

The main goal is to improve battery performance and privacy by removing unnecessary and obscure system apps. This can also contribute to improve security by reducing [the attack surface](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_surface). The script has a menu that lets you choose what debloat list you want to use. I strongly encourage you to take a look at the lists because the default selection may not suit you. All packages are as well documented as possible in order to provide a better understanding of what you can delete or not.

This script *should* be safe with the default selection. The worse thing which could happen is preventing an essential system process to be loaded during boot causing then an unfortunate bootloop. After about 5 failed system boots, the phone will automatically reboot in recovery mode and you'll have to perform a FACTORY RESET.

In any case, you can NOT brick your device with this script ! That's the main thing, right ? :smiley:
