So you got your new shiny realme device but you hate bloatware or want to disable system apps so you can use 3rd party apps instead?
Follow the steps below:
THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT HOWEVER MAKE SURE NOT TO DISABLE IMPORTANT SYSTEM APPS. WIPE DATA/FORMATTING RE-ENABLES ALL SYSTEM APPS. THIS DOES NOT MESS WITH OTAs.
WHAT YOU NEED:-
ADB/Fastboot Drivers
Windows: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
Linux: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip
DEBLOAT:-
1. Enable developer options by tapping on the build number 7 times and enable USB Debugging.
2. Plug in your phone.
3. Goto the folder where ADB is installed, hold shift and right click, and click on open command window here(windows).
4. Type
in CMD
Code:
adb devices
in Powershell
Code:
./adb devices
.
5. This should return the ID of your device and show if its authorised. Enable debugging Promt on your Phone if it shows unauthorised (allow this computer).
6. Type
in cmd
Code:
adb shell
in Powershell
Code:
./adb shell
.
7. This should display a prompt, something like RMXxxxx:/ $
8. To uninstall type
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of the package>
To disable type
Code:
pm disable-user --user 0 <name of the package>
eg: pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.heytap.browser / pm disable-user --user 0 com.heytap.browser
9. Done!
To reinstall uninstalled apps type
Code:
pm install-existing <name of the package>
To enable disabled apps type
Code:
pm enable <name of the package>
Some apps do not uninstall such as market and gamecenter, disabling is the only option.
Very Helpful, Thanks. I debloated my realme 7 and also disabled the Realme security analysis app so now no more ads popup after everytime installing a new app from playstore?

Could someone post a list of the apps that can be safely removed?
Some handy tips down the road.
While using power shell just add ./ infront of all adb commands and everything will work.
If error showing while connecting through USB debug "Cant Allow USB debugging Because an app is obscuring when connect to your pc..." Just disable assistive ball and Floating windows privacy > display over other apps.< Uncheck everything.
$ ./adb shell pm list packages < List everything installed
$ adb shell pm list packages -d < List all the disabled package
Can be safely and shud be Disabled packages:
package:com.heytap.cloud < Cloud service better alternates avail.
package:com.android.nfc < By default disabled as device doesn't have hardware.
package:com.facebook.services < Racist Biased Snitch Company will leech on your data and create chaos in your country.
package:com.facebook.system < No idea why its installed and running in back
package:com.facebook.appmanager < Always takes side of Mighty
package:com.heytap.browser < This is main source of adverts in phone only reason i needed to go through this.

Hello, security analysis app is from Google side can be disabled inside google settings. Only way Realme shows adverts is through default Browser which can be disabled. if there's in any package which can be disabled or uninstalled for realme analysis please share name.
Thank you
I personally disabled these apps

I recently debloated many packages, but found the realme gallery3d to be useful. It has face sorting feature, which I found to be very nice.
However I lost the capability to sort face after deleting a random package, and I dont know which one it is.
Does anyone know which package is associated with this service?

Not the path but the app package name is that matters, you can download an app like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.csdroid.pkg&hl=es&gl=US
Be careful which app you choose, disabling a system dependent app may cause your device not working properly or even booting at all. You might need to perform a factory reset or flash again the firmware to solve it.

Don't. Disabling weather app on RUI 2.0 causes issues. You'll have to format data to recover.

I've made this bloatware disable script for my new realme GT (Global) you might find it useful.
It disables stuff you can't usually disable / remove on the phone itself.
The uninstallable stuff I removed manually before creating this script. Some more "extreme" options are commented out.
first setup ADB:
On your phone:
Settings -> About Phone -> Version -> press "Build Number" 7 times to enable Developer Options --> Go back to the root of settings --> Additional Settings --> Developer options and enable USB Debugging --> reconnect your phone --> select Data Transfer / Android Auto
On your PC:
Windows device driver: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb.html
adb/fastboot: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools#downloads
on windows cd to the extracted platform-tools directory and change each command to .\adb ... or copy its contents to C:\tools and add that to your PATH

Please note that you can't disable com.coloros.weather.service if you enables dark mode, otherwise, you'll encounter repeated flickering and not able to unlock the phone!

Noted.
Firstly did you manage to unlock your phone ?
Would uninstalling instead of disabling the Weather App solve the issue ?
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.weather.service
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.weather2

I've tried that too.
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.weather2
makes no problem at all, it is the "weather.service" matters.
I let the adb shell open and data line connected, then
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.weather.service
Nothing happens at this point, but after I clicked Dark Mode the screen flickers.
I turned off screen and on again, still the same, flickers and no response.
So I immediately put the App back by
cmd package install-existing com.coloros.weather.service
The screen returns to normal again, and I can unlock.

First and foremost, thank you for the prompt reply.
Having installed another Weather App, I uninstalled "weather.service" and "weather2" then changed the device from Light to Dark Mode (Device still connected to PC) and unfortunately, I'm glad to report, there were no flickering issues.
I'm assumming the weather.service is causing UI issues which another weather app in place had adressed.
My intension is to replace the Coloros Weather App with my own option therefore uninstalling just the "weather2" will be fine.
I threw caution to the wind and re-installed the coloros.weather.service just in case if the current weather app is accidentally uninstalled.
Thank you for your help.

Hello, I am looking for a list of application (bloatware) to deactivate for Realme gt neo
In need of help.
Sorry people, I have convinved myself that it's better to have the devil you know...so no help needed....but I can't seem find an option to delete this post so if an admin is available then thank you.
Sos for the inconvenience.
In the spirit of removing stubborn pre-installed APKs from freshly unpacked Android devices, I would like to share the apps I removed using adb and the commands used to do so.
I personally do not use Office or Bing so these were my primary targets, but I also removed OneDrive, OneNote, Outlook and Edge as well.
This is step-by-step for Windows users:
1. Download platform-tools from https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
2. Extract to C:\ (or a place of your choosing)
3. Open a command prompt from your start menu by typing "cmd" in your Windows search bar.
4. You should see something like: C:\Users\YourUsername_>
5. Type "cd C:\platform-tools" and press Return/Enter
6. You should now see C:\platform-tools>
7. Plug in your device with a USB cable and ensure you have turned Developer Options on your device (search Google for how to do this if unsure)
8. Type "adb shell" and you should get an Unauthorized message in the command prompt window followed by a pop-up on your device asking if you trust the computer you are connected to.
9. Select the option to trust the computer you are connected to.
10. Type adb shell again and hit Enter/Return and you should see a unique alpha-numeric device ID show in the command prompt now.
11. Begin uninstalling the packages you wish to no longer be stuck on your Surface Duo 2 with the command below.
12. Repeat the command below for each package/app you wish to uninstall.
pm uninstall --user 0 <package name from the list below goes here>
(Below are the packages I have personally removed line by line and still have stable experience on the device. Most are evident in the package name of what was removed. I will update the list as I remove more.)

Hi. Somewhat cautious of doing anything that bricks my Duo 2 - I use many of the Microsoft apps, so I'm more interested in removing the Google suite of apps. Does the above approach work for Google apps too?
All those users who wish to disable Knox security in A7 lite in future might want to avoid Samsung latest patches to firmware that doesn't allow to exploit bugs to get rid of KNOX and its devious restrictions.
Method 1 :- Requires ADB access and PC using application in comment below.(If you prefer GUI)
Method 2 :-
All users need to stay on firmware supplied with the box most probably prior Jan 2022 as few updates are patched in January update and so on. Following also works on devices which have Knox security enabled.
Using ADB user needs to disable following using CMD -:
Enable USB debugging or Wireless debugging (LADB) both works
Check using adb devices whether device is connected properly or not ( if not check USB drivers in link below )
If device is showing under ADB devices type adb shell
Once in shell type following two commands will do
pm uninstall --user 0 com.wssyncmldm
pm uninstall --user 0 com.sec.android.soagent​
Also users need to disable security policy updates under biometrics and security >other security settings>security policies​​From developer options also disable automatic system updates​
If you are here and device was updated automatically then try another thread.
This might help
