Hi all,
I'm no fan of Facebook at all, to be honest I hate it thanks to all privacy matters mr Zuckerberg inficts upon us, and as you all know Facebook comes preinstalled on your device. In general these kind of applications are hard to remove from your device. I found a way to remove Facebook from my device and, after all, it's pretty simple.
Download and use File Commander from the app store, start the app and go to internal storage. Type in the search box Facebook and delete all the results File Commander finds. When you go then to Playstore, you will see that Facebook is disabled , but after this action, Facebook does not show up anymore when you press the apps button on your homescreen. This will also save your battery, cause Facebook is always running in the background. Hope this helps,
kindest regards, kuzibri
Or... you can just disable it in Settings.

You're entirely right, but disabling is something else than completely removing the app. Even after disabling it, it still uses your battery, also it will still appear in the list when you press the app button on your homescreen. On my device it's gone and checking battery usage by FB tells me that it did not use the battery after removal. Furthermore, removing FB also removed FB App manager and FB update manager.

Here is what i have after disabling FB app in Settings.
<Screenshot below>
According to what i know since JellyBean, system apps (FB in this case) are located in either /system/app or /system/priv-app, which is not accessible by File Commander by default. Only by deleting FB's APK and data files (which cannot be done without root) can it be removed from your system.
And you cannot install a modded FB either way.

Disabling is something Google put just purposely for this effect.
It removes from the homescreen. And it will not show up in your battery.
Perhaps you have confused it with "Force Stop".
Disable Facebook and all system apps containing name facebook and that's it.
Hi guys,
thanks for all your responses and advices. I can only speak for myself, but FB is indeed entirely removed from my device. How do I know that? Connected my device to my laptop, started My PC and went to the internal storage of the X1. On my PC I enabled "show hidden items" and I was able to see all maps on my device. Opened every map in order to see if there were any FB related files, etc, but found nothing. Then I selected Internal Storage and typed in the search box for Facebook and related items and there were no results at all. Also, since I removed FB, it saves me on a daily basis 8% to 10% of battery drainage. Now I'm able to use my X1 three days without charging instead of two.
This means also that you can remove FB from you device via your Laptop by enabling show hidden items.

You just removed Facebook data in /sdcard/Android/data folder, but the app himself is still there, under / and without root You can't remove anything from there.

Using file commander searching for 'Facebook' only a ringtone file appears ! As you imply I want to remove every Facebook reference on my phone. I used the 'Clear Data' option within Facebook & freed over 27Mb of space. Now I want to free the remaining 28Mb being used (presumably by the software). It sounds like that is what you achieved, so I'm interested in duplicating this on my phone (with more success than I managed). Please advise (thanks).
If you removed bloatware from your phone tell me do you see any difference in speed and performance of your phone because I am not really sure is it worth trying. Thank you for replyes!!

Hi,
Here is my debloat solution.
DEBLOAT_Script_Samsung_A520F_7.0_Nougat_v1
I use it with TWRP recovery.
More speed or performance doesn't matter for me. But I have more space and better battery.
Anyoine maybe got a "save-list" which Bloatware could be deactivated via package disabler pro? I have no root access (KNOX warranty....) so i could only deactivate.

Your script includes MM AND N
first thing u need is ROOTED DEVICE.
as far as i know, deleting some of system app will not harm your device. i have tested it with my a3.
i deleted all knox app, all samsung stock app which i dont need, unused google things like hangout, google app itself, google search. u can also delete Galaxy Apps, but when you want to update the app which gave you a notification for an update, u cant.
i deleted it, because i dont need it. many, there are so many useless things from samsung, and im done with it.
for a safe step, u can 'of course' delete :
1. daydream
2.screensaver
3.weather
4.video
5.knox
6.secure folder
7.all samsung healthy apps
8.live wallpaper
9.themes
10.my samsung
11.file explorer
and many.
after i rooted my a3, i deleted almost 200mb bloatware. and it (dont know for sure) doesn't give any differences on speed, performance, or battery life. just faster when u open apps section on phone setting
sm-a520w oreo rooted and cautious debloat
Here's my list. Obviously you will have to make up your own mind as to what you want. I am waiting for hades to be fully functional on my lame "w" variant.
I did twrp, magisk and INSTALLED IN RECOVERY the debloater downloaded from magisk. Still running pretty much everything I used to such as email, playstore and phone/messaging and a game.
Installed a terminal emulator to run the module... called... terminal emulator but was told to try termux. Get Termux if you prefer larger text. Not a power user by any means so both work great for me.
I don't think you will want to uninstall much more than 3 or 4 apps at once. I just knocked off families like the knox clan, facebook clowns but for google i knocked them off in pairs so they could watch themselves get eaten. My first successful root involved titanium and I just went nuts and was not rebooting and by about the 20th app my screen did some neat swirly effect and I think I saw the screen throw files at me. Then I got a message that root was removed. Oh well.
Don't be signed into anything that you're uninstalling might be important. If you're on the W variant you'll notice 2 programs not listed with FIDO in the name. Be careful because I got locked out deleting one or two of those and it probably was also a bad idea having a pin on the lockscreen because that was most likely what I damaged. Luckily I easily fixed it in twrp. Just do the obvious ones first if you are new.
You will see two Sim Services if you go to remove it but I only did one. I picked the first one and left the one underneath it. They will be numbered different on your screen unless you do it in the same order as me, which you won't. So, when I did it they were 66 and 67. I chose 66 and did a reboot. Yeah the other one is on the list in the terminal still, but I don't get the icon anymore anywhere so I was rather pleased and just left it like that for now. It is now seen as sim toolkit in your apps in system view. I don't want to even talk about it in case it hears me and puts an icon in the app drawer.
What did I notice? Phone is definitely a little bit quicker. By a little I mean you may not notice if you use animations. RAM is definitely happy with the weight loss and needs a new wardrobe. It sometimes boots up around 2 but will rest around 1.5 if idle. It never did that before and obviously this device is not being sold and used properly with all this crap on it and when you don't take these measures, well there ain't much room for more crap so might as well get an S9 and abuse that sucker until it runs worse than a device years younger. I will add more as I find out what exactly my plans are and more importantly after fully understanding what I am removing. If you want to follow someone's list that somehow has so much removed it doesn't make sense... it's because they have apps to use in place for what they want. If that is appealing just tell me what app you crashed and burned on and when you're sick of 7 or so fixings grab a custom ROM
Keep lock screen security off and sign out/detach yourself from apps as much as possible. You can delete the keyboard with a current working one but I put it back as the message app lost smiley faces
I use Virgin and deleted their useless crap. Some weird rogers stuff I knew was there but a little old for a recent update...?
Encrypted Sim? I hope not. Do Enterprise SIm/Vpn together and power off. Take out your SIM and power on. I just waited until it was done the 30-60 second warm up and put the SIM back in and carried on. If you don't do this you'll want to do it when the phone reboots and chokes and.... just take it out.
Some apps will downgrade and need to be uninstalled (like they should be) in your apps after reboot and others may linger in the debloater. Just do'em again.
Not the order I did but as it was exported and from 1 and 2 menu options
You can uninstall Dictionary NOT User Dictionary. Settings will not function at all. Instant fc. User Dictionary can be disabled though. I am sure it can be done but other apps not listed here like contacts most likely need to go with it.

https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
Is there a way to debloat it without a script.. maybe an app like package disabler. I upgrade package disabler but it doesnt work anymore. I use oreo stock no root...

I just helped my mother disabling an awful lot of bloat. Seems like I lost the battery section in Settings along the way. I still think it's worth it to be rid of the whole CM thing. I made a shortcut to the battery optimization via Tasker and I'm now looking to do the same for background processes.
Edit: It appears I disabled com.samsung.android.sm.devicesecurity by mistake. Now I have everything but the ****ty CM app optimizer and can forget about the shortcuts. Perfect!
Now I only have to figure out why I'm getting "All apps associated with this action have been turned off, blocked or not installed"-popup when booting. If it is home screen related it might have something to do with me removing a default app which used to show up in the farthest left slide of the screen. Never paid any attention to it so I'm pretty clueless as to what it may be.
I have three devices with GBoard installed: A Samsung Note 3, S8+ and another S8+. A few weeks ago they added the clipboard manager to GBoard (beta), which I thought was pretty cool, although my Samsung's already had one. On these three phones I have two accounts my fiance's on one of the s8+ devices and my own on the other s8+ and the note 3. My devices still have the clipboard manager, hers no longer does. The icon is just gone and it's not the overflow. Just to be safe I cleared the storage for the GBoard and started fresh but now the clipboard manager was gone still. So I'm guessing it's a server side switch as she had it and now it is gone, lol. Anyone else experience anything similar? Google giveth and taketh away. Thanks in advance.
Hey anyone? Wow no one has any information?
Same here, I uninstalled Gboard and reset the apps Google Play Store, Google, Google Play Services, Maps.
Afterwards it was no longer possible to access the clipboard feature again, although I am back on the beta version.

Yeah, what sucks is that I disabled the Samsung clipboard so she could use the GBoard one, basically so she didn't get confused and they remove it? WTF?! It would be better if Google's implementation did pictures but so far it was working well. And why did they turn it on only to turn off a bunch of users right afterwards. I'm so tired of being dogfood for Google. Crap at least let us do something cool to make up for your crappy testing and coding. Arg!

They seemingly test out Gboard with and without the clipboard feature. I cannot blame them for this, hopefully they keep it in at release.
Yeah it's missing in the latest beta for me, as well as latest release.
Gone here too... I'm really disappointed with Google. Gboard's clipboard manager was the best solution I've ever seen, without those crappy persistent notifications like other apps.
Now they went and disabled it on my account too. So my fiance and I both had it on that recent beta and then they took it away seemingly for everyone, wtf?! I was actively using it. My main gripes were to allow for a settings option to enable or disable the clipboard for those who have one on their phone already. Also for swipe typing to allowing going to the space bar to continue words as almost every other swiping keyboard does. That way you can type a while sentence and never have lifted your finger once. And I'm so tired of devs putting nothing or the last update in the changelog section. They should be forced to out something in so we know what we are getting!
What the hell is this Google doing with gboard.
I was very excited about the clipboard feature but Google has disabled it in the latest beta update..
Soo angry ???
Ok, new info. Google has reenacted the clipboard but made clips only lasting one hour and then they see automatically deleted. You can lock them so they don't get deleted though. Also you can disable the clipboard which is great as I was asking for that feature. So the Samsung clipboard is still the best for Samsung users as it also does pictures and doesn't delete anything automatically. I do think the hour delete feature blows and should be an option you can change to anytime you want (hour, 24 hours, week, never, etc). The clipboard was enabled on my phone and my fiance's phone about a week ago.
Edit: OMFG, Google did it again and removed it from both of our accounts again! Man they are stupid and pay men less than women but they tried to makeup some story why it wasn't true. You were able to find the clipboard icon in the overflow menu within the keyboard and now it's gone. Also the first time you viewed it, it would ask if you wanted to enable it.
I was thinking it was just me. Glad this post is still around.
I' m affected by this right now
I've had this phone a little over a week now and it's a great phone for the price. However, the file manager and photo apps suck. I tried other photo apps and even tried the intrusive Google photo apps and none of them come close to Samsungs. Either their editor suck, is missing or I can't arrange my photos to my liking. Google photos is stuck on "getting your photos" and none of the fixes I saw work. The file manager is really slow to move or copy and other ones won't stay in the folder I chose. So is there any way to port Samsungs apps to this phone? I'm coming from the S9 (sm-g960u).
Hi guys, I used ADB shell for my Samsung Galaxy a21s to remove some unnecessary applications, today I noticed that the accessibility app is not working so if I try to open it it the screen gets black and I'm back at the home screen. Now I don't know exactly which apps I uninstalled but they were not critical system apps. Do you guys know which uninstalled apps it could be that made the accessibility app inaccessible?
I shared a picture the feature some of the uninstalled apps (there are some more) including Bixby and for example other apps like quick share printing stuff, Smart view, ...
Does anyone know a command to see the history of the deleted apps? I took a look inside the folder in which power shell normally saves the history but it didnt contain those deleted apps. Thanks in advance!
