# Universal Android Debloater
|
|
|
|
**DISCLAIMER**: Use this script at your own risk. I am not responsible for anything that could happen to your phone.
|
|
|
|
## Summary
|
|
I try to provide and maintain a universal tool which remove bloatwares on any unrooted 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 the 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:
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
* [X] Quick search among all the packages of your phone
|
|
* [X] Uninstallation of system/user packages (manually or with the debloat lists)
|
|
* [X] Reinstallation of system packages
|
|
* [X] ADB backup (not really reliable, see the FAQ)
|
|
* [X] Device brand detection and auto-selection of the appropriate manufacturer debloat list
|
|
* [X] Logs in `debloated_packages.txt` and `remaining_packages.txt`.
|
|

|
|
|
|
NB : It is NOT a real uninstallation for system apps (see the [FAQ](https://gitlab.com/W1nst0n/universal-android-debloater/-/wikis/FAQ))

## How to use it
|
|
- **Read the [FAQ](https://gitlab.com/W1nst0n/universal-android-debloater/-/wikis/FAQ) !!**
|
|
- **Do a proper backup of your data ! You can never be too careful !**
|
|
- Enable *Developer Options* on your smartphone.
|
|

|
|
|
|
### LINUX
|
|
- Install *Android plateform tools* with your package manager :
|
|
|
|
Debian Base :
|
|
```console
|
|
apt-get install android-sdk-platform-tools
|
|
```
|
|
Arch-Linux Base :
|
|
```console
|
|
pacman -S android-tools
|
|
```
|
|
|

|
|
```

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### WINDOWS
|
|
- Install [WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)](https://itsfoss.com/install-bash-on-windows/) in order to be able to use bash script.
|
|
|
|
- Install [ADB](https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip). If you want ADB support everywhere on your PC, you need to add the path of ADB folder in the system variables (see [this](https://www.xda-developers.com/adb-fastboot-any-directory-windows-linux/)).
|

```
|
|
|

- **Don't forget to check the debloat lists to see what are my default choices and to avoid any bad surprises.**
