DEBLOAT

Say no to bloatware

“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.” ― Henry David Thoreau, Walden

Debloat is a simple bash script which destructively removes packages containing the string "samsung". YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Features

  • Remove preinstalled packages (bloatware) with ease!
  • Void your warranty
  • Clear up Logcat spam!

How to debloat

DEBLOAT requires adb to run (Android Studio linked installs adb and Android platform tools)

Export adb to PATH:

~ % export PATH=$PATH:/Users/$USER/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/

Make sure that adb is on the path:

~ % adb
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.41
Version 33.0.1-8253317
Installed as /Users/<your-user-name>/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools//adb

Make DEBLOAT executable:

~ % chmod +x debloat.sh
NOTE: Make sure that you have your Samsung device connected before attempting to debloat.

DEBLOAT!!!

~ % ./debloat.sh
