New Release (v2.1)

Alternative method for Android 8.0 and older

Older Android versions can't reinstall uninstalled packages. The script now detects this case and proposes disabling the apps and clearing data instead of uninstalling them. Concretely, the script will use : pm disable-user $package && am force-stop $package && pm clear $package. Restore will use pm enable $package.

  • Added a step for people who can't uninstall the Google Play services.
  • Minor spelling corrections.

I worked hard for this release ! This is a big one ! Enjoy ! 🚀

Major overhaul of the script

  • Improved UI/UX.
  • Performance improvement (you will not feel it but still local variables are used and packages arrays are passed by reference to avoid useless copy).
  • Miscellaneous code improvement.

New features

  • You can now select (restore/debloat) several lists at once
  • Debloated packages are now listed in a file called debloated_packages.txt.
  • A list of all your packages (after debloat) is automatically exported in a file called remaining_packages.txt.

  • Motorola : 60 new packages.

New mobiles carriers supported

  • Sony : 2 new packages (commented-out by default).

Pending list

New list added in the main menu (-1 - Pending list). Packages are located in lists/0 - Pending.sh file.

List packages are undocumented. This mean I did no proper search yet so it's not impossible that some packages are unsafe to delete. Currentlty this means that I either found them in debloat lists lying around on XDA forums or that I preselected them from a full packages list of a phone I had on hand.

In the future, when some nice users will help me, packages will get off the pending list faster ! ;)

Miscellaneous

  • Commented out all the packages I put outside of the arrays (because you should never delete them) to remove (harmless) bash errors at the script startup.

  • Moved org.codeaurora.gps.gpslogsave from Xiaomi list to Miscellaneous list.

  • Commented out some packages after testing.

New Release (v1.8)

  • Moved com.opera.preinstall (Opera Max Data Saving) from Xiaomi list to Miscellaneous list.
  • Moved com.phonepe.app (PhonePe) from Xiaomi list to Miscellaneous list.
