Can we uninstall system apps/programs on a T-Mobile V30?

Can we uninstall system apps/programs on a T-Mobile V30? - LG V30 Questions & Answers

I know there are threads on using ADB to hide/disable unwanted programs or app, but if i'm correct I uninstalled apps rather than hiding them using this command: pm uninstall -k --user 0. followed by whatever app it was. In the apps list in the system menu it shows several apps as uninstalled. Looking at my apps list, I replaced LG contacts with google contacts.....in the list it shows LG contacts as not installed, same with Facebook installer/manager/LG Keyboard/LG mobile switch. All of these apps, I used the above command to get rid of them or replace them. To set this up I went and downloaded team androids windows platform tools and googles usb drivers. I then enabled debugging, authorized my computer, opened up power shell with admin rights and proceeded to remove apps. Oh, I also used package name viewer from the play store to get the name of the app. So is it possible I DID uninstall these apps rather than hiding them?

They will show back up with a factory reset. So technically no.

A factory reset resets the phone to its factory default state... So technically these apps are uninstalled.

Uninstalled for the specific user.. Basically disabled. If truly uninstalled a factory reset would not bring them back. They are still taking up space in /system/apps, /system/priv-app

And as someone mentioned in another thread (maybe you?), it's only affecting the apps in the system partition, not the user partition.
So, without root removing these apps via ADB isn't really saving any space that can be re-used.

If you had a model where apps are added after the setup, like the H933, where carrier bloat is pushed as soon as you sign in to the Play Store on the device. With the T-Mobile variant though, the carrier bloat is contained within the system image. You can remove the apps from being installed but they will reinstall with the next update. You will need something to tell you the app names to remove them with ADB. If you have the drivers installed and the correct files. All you have to do is open command prompt in the folder where the ADB files are stored, type "adb shell" and use the "pm uninstall -k --user 0 (app file name)" to remove it from being currently installed. The following two commands I used to remove the Facebook garbage and some other bloat from both of my devices.
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.system
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.appmanager
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.ime
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.gallery3d

This is actually not uninstall the apps but just disable from the system and will not prevent you from getting OTA updates
After factory reset that apps will be enabled again

How to enable it back tho?
I accidentally disabled the vivo gallery app.

Can I disable the default keyboard? Or is it going to create problems when entering passwords using secure mode?

For that you dont need to try out "adb " commands.
Just download Gboard from playstore. After that Go into
Settings > Language and Input > "Enable" Gboard.
Choose Input method> Gboard - multilingual Typing
Go to "More" under settings> applications > Default app settings > Input method > Gboard
If you like to use "CTRL" "ALT" "Shift" etc type of keyboard, then you can download "Hackers Keyboard" or any other keyboard of your choosing.

I have disabled few apps by this process.
I had disabled vivo store app through this process but now I want to re enable it but I am not able to get it back kindly provide me the latest APK of vivo store or any other process to get it back?

why uninstalling bloatware hasn't boosted my phone's performance?
thought that uninstalling bloat ware might boost my phone's performance so i ended up uninstalling every app that i dont use ( including creepy wisdom engine and touchpal, replaced with gboard) there's even no RAM consumption in the background . but phone still sucks .......

Hoe to root vivo v9

Thanks, Links for ADB download?
Hi,
Thanks richard yusan for a detailed guide. Am totally new to the Vivo forum. Could you please indicate where to download a good copy of adb drivers for the Vivo from.
Although doing my research I came across this post in another forum https://www.cyanogenmods.org/how-to-install-twrp-and-root-the-vivo-z1-pro/ but didn't want to try it on without knowledge of the systems first.
Additionally, I realised much of the terms used in the Funtouch OS are different, and one wrong choice in the middle of the path somewhere has the potential to leave you stuck (If it doesn't brick the phone).
For example, instead of what the forum lists as
Settings>>System>>About Phone>>Tap on Build Number 7 times. Now you need to go back to Settings>>Advanced Settings>>Developer Options>>enable USB Debugging.
What I could get was the following
Settings>>More Settings>>About Phone>>Tap on Software Version 7 times. Now you need to go back to Settings>>More Settings>>Developer Options>>enable USB Debugging AND ALSO Developer Options
Maybe this is all very intuitive, but like I said, for a Noobie like me, even this is a steep climb in knowledge

On iQOO phones there's another important app you need to disable to get notifications:
- com.vivo.appfilter
it's a complement of iManager (aka com.iqoo.secure)

What Jctatis says, alternatively you can delete the apps by ADB.
In additional settings open developer options and turn on USB debugging.
Then on your computer type adb devices to see if your computer can connect and adb shell to type commands in your device. Then type the commands Jctatis listed.

Will this affect the software updates later? Just like rooting can cause a phone to stop receiving OTA updates.

Nah.

I'd keep the stock video player if you want to play HDR videos. It's the only app that I found that can play them properly, it can even play UHD bluray rips. VLC doesn't work as well. It's not a bad app.
Also removing yellowpages disables access to your contacts from the phone app. You probably want that. If not you probably want to replace the phone app as well. You can use google phone, it can be found on xda as apk, not play store.
IMO, just remove the obvious apps and don't touch services and other less obvious things that might be tied to something system related. All of it is reversible so just experiment.

I can access contacts from the phone app anyway. Thank you about the video player tip, didnt know that!

I can confirm that removing yellow pages doesn't break contacts access from phone app

I debloated quite a few apps without any problems.
The only thing that's missing the "Skip Swipe Screen" option and the ability to change lockscreen wallpaper.
Do you guys know which system app needed for these two operations?
Thanks in advance!

you can change your lockscreen with the Themes app. Otherwise I believe you need the Mi Wallpaper not uninstalled.

definitely more bloatware:

Does anyone know which APK is the messaging app and if it's safe to remove? I can see extra SMS but it's not it. Also if you check the app's info it says "com.android.mms" but I don't see it in the list. Judging by the name it doesn't seem to be a MiUI file though.
Thanks!

I have completly uninstalled the com.android.mms a couple of days ago, and using the google messages app instead. No issues at all.
Edit:
And to answer your question com.android.mms IS the messaging app/sms app, and yes it seems to be safe to remove/replace.

Maybe you just missed it, there are like 200+ packages on a phone like this...
Try:
Code:
pm list packages | grep mms

[GUIDE] - Remove Huawei Bloatware Without Root Access - using ADB & USB Debugging

Hy all,
As many users asked me what bloatware i removed from my phone and at @Andrei Morar special request , I decided to create a thread with all the packages and their relative details about how each package listed here works on EMUI system for helping all of you who want to safely slim down the number of not used apps which are running in background alongside with some services preinstalled on phone that are not usable, for me and maybe for some others. I leave it to you to take the final choice about what to do with a package, remove it or not, and if you have other packages that you think it’s worthy to keep or remove, please comment bellow and i’ll add or remove that package.
Remember that those applications truly aren’t being fully uninstalled from the device, they are just being uninstalled for the current user (user 0 is the default / main user of the phone). That’s why, if you omit the “–user 0” and “-k” part of the uninstall command, the command won’t work. These two flags respectively specify that the system app will only be uninstalled for the current user (and not all users, which is something that requires root access) and that the cache / data of the system application will be preserved (which can’t be removed without root access). Therefore, even if you “uninstall” a system application using this method, you can still receive official OTA updates from your carrier or OEM.
If something does go wrong, you can always perform a factory reset to bring things back to the way they were. However, there’s an even easier way to bring back an app you uninstalled as this : open cmd-here.exe from C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot and enter the following commands: adb shell cmd package install-existing <name of package you wish to reinstall>.
IF you want to remove ads and you have no root or don't wan't to block your VPN or use Blokada, you can use my trick, it works on both WI-FI and mobile networks, as good as Adaway is doing :
Just set: Settings > Wi-Fi & Internet > Private DNS > dns.adguard.com and you are good without any additional app.
Here is the quick & easy guide for all:
1. Download latest Minimal ADB and Fastboot from here - thanks go to @shimp208 for providing this great tool - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
2. Enable USB debugging from developer options:
- Step 1: go to Settings
- Step 2: find and open "System" option
- Step 3: select "About phone"
- Step 4: tap "Build number" at least seven times and you will see a prompt with “You are now a Developer “. Then go to developer options and enable USB debugging (it's a MUST DO)
3. Connect your phone to your computer and press YES if it asks you to trust the PC
4. Launch cmd-here.exe from C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot and enter the following commands followed by Enter:
- adb devices (make sure your device appears in the list)
- adb shell
- pm uninstall -k --user 0 + the app you want to remove from the list below
- for restarting the device after succesfully removed unwanted package, type reboot and hit Enter, then your device will restart and remove the package from user.
For example:
This command will delete Huawei Mobile Services (including Huawei ID) app:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.hwid

com.huawei.android.launcher - removes Huawei launcher app and it seems to disable recent apps (thanks @markvd90 & @KKYASIR for headsup). JUST don’t remove if you don’t have a custom launcher installed allready and you use Recent Apps
settings put secure ui_night_mode 2 - enable system-wide dark mode
settings put secure ui_night_mode 1 – disable system-wide dark mode

Thank you so much for this little piece of gold of a guide!
I will do this after receiving the stable build of Emui 10. Hopefully this happens in 2019
One quick question: after removing any of the preinstalled apps do they automatically get reinstalled after the first security update? What about major updates like Emui 11?

How much of an impact on your phone's battery life and performance does removing all the apps in your removal list has? I'm interested to know that if I remove all the preinstalled apps I will get a noticeable improvement in battery life.

I don't know for sure, because i've done this removal every single phone i had right of the box, just after set up . But you will have for sure better battery life because some of those apps can't be set on battery settings (ex. Chrome can't be stopped been used on background and some other apps) to stop using battery in backgroung or start once you restart your device. BUT be aware what you remove, make sure to check if you use any of them before removal.
For YouTube i recommend Youtube vanced (no ads and black interface) and for Messenger and Facebook (both without ads or any other unusefull stuffs) i recommend those apps from here

One last question: Will these get replaced by the standard PlayStore versions after an update or they remain as they are now?

No, they are separatley signed apk's and in my case (i'm sure yours and others) don't receive PlayStore notifications to update or any other. PlayStore confirms they are installed and give you option to Uninstall just like in my bellow SS. They don't appear on your installed app list from PlayStore

Yes, i'm on EMUI 10, BUT i have Huawei launcher installed and using. So it seems that uninstalling Huawei launcher also disable recent apps on Huawei. I will post this info in OP. Try reinstalling it through ADB, on EMUI 9.1 worked reinstalling some apps or search it on Huawei apps app if you didn't removed it using ADB.

Yeah, just did a factory reset.
Can I ask why you use uninstall instead of pm disable?
Is the uninstall more effective?

uninstall also frees up the space used by apps and also it makes sure it won't get auto re-enabled by system. And one more thing, If i just disable them i observed that they are still consuming RAM (according to Developer Options >> Memory).

[GUIDE] DeGoogle & debloat M30s and install MicroG

This guide explains how to debloat M30s (or any other samsung device or any other device) and also deGoogle it by removing most of google invasive crap. (yes, GPlay services is also removed).Play store, Google app and other crap is also removed from system, so if you want to use them, install them as user app. The installation for play store is different, and it is explained below.
Check my Post on reddit for more up to date info and clear instructions HERE
When we remove Gplay services, many apps and services stop working . Many apps will give error but still work (like maps and telegram and whatsapp). Play store will definitely not work and many apps that use push notification through Gplay services (most of them) will not be able to do so. In my case Uber, ola or any other ride app was also not working and was crashing constantly. Paytm will also not work without play services. And on top of that many apps that use location might not behave properly.
Whoosh! those are a lot of problems for uninstalling play services. So, why would anyone want to do that?
Simply put it, Google is an Advertising company. No it is not a company that sells product, i mean yes it sells products and earns from them BUT more than 60% of their revenue comes from Ads that they serve you. And yes, google is the biggest Ad company in the world with more than 80% of ad share (i may be wrong about the %, feel free to search yourself). So obviously they want ta make money out of your data (by selling it) and to do that what better way than to install spyware on world's largest mobile OS.
Google play services record your every action, tracking every app that you opened and everything you do. That data remains with google and they sell it to 3rd parties (and you agreed to it when you made Google account and setup your android device. Remember Clicking on "I AGREE"?).
Here i will not discuss how invasive it is. A simple Web search with "google play services tracking" will give you much more information. (and please do search it, i beg you) (Pro Tip: reddit has best answers, so explore reddit links from search)
Here is a good one explaining things
And Gplay services Eat a LOT of battery by constantly Running in background. So if you want better battery, remove it
So you have decided to degoogle your phone (and debloat it). What to do about all those errors after removing play services?
Here Comes MicroG. microG is an Open Source replacement for Google Play Services.
"MicroG is a free-as-in-freedom re-implementation of Google’s proprietary Android user space apps and libraries.
The linux-based open-source mobile operating system Android is not only the most popular mobile operating system in the world, it’s also on the way to becoming a proprietary operating system. How is that?
While the core operating system is still released as part of the Android Open Source Project, the majority of core apps are not. It gets worse: More and more libraries and APIs are only available on phones that run various Google apps pre-installed, effectively locking third-party apps to the Google ecosystem. For these reasons Android is described as being a “look but don’t touch” kind of open.
At this point, several popular open-source applications already require some of Google’s proprietary libraries to be installed. Increasing demand in the free software community in addition to severe problems in Google’s proprietary software discovered by the Android modding community, have led to the development of a free software clone of Google’s proprietary core libraries and applications - the microG Project was born.
Although most microG components are far from complete, users are amazed by the results. Free software users got extended application support, privacy-caring users can reduce or monitor data that is sent to Google and especially older phones can expect some battery life improvements."
(So it basically removes all those errors. Great!)
So, Lets start Degoogling!
Warning: bootloader needs to be unlocked, magisk should be there and twrp should be installed.
NOTE: MAKE FULL NANDROID BACKUP OF YOUR DEVICE BEFORE PROCEEDING BY GOING TO TWRP -> BACKUP -> SELECT ALL . store it in PC or somewhere safe
Removing google crap
Flash TWRP and install magisk.
We need Signature spoofing in the ROM. Download SmaliPatcher from here and tick all patches, (We are interested in the "signature spoofing" one but all of them are useful) and follow the instructions on its page to install that module. Now your system supports signature spoofing. (I recommend SmaliPatcher even if your rom supports Signature Spoofing so that no issue arises)
Other ways for signature spoofing are given in MicroG wiki here
(IF YOU ARE ON STOCK ROM)
In case you had the Google Play Services previously installed (which Users having stock ROM have), remove all updates and the packages in /system/priv-app of the Google Services (you can use TWRP file manager or any root explorer to delete below packages, just delete the apk files in respective folders):
GmsCore (PrebuiltGmsCore, PrebuiltGmsCorePi, PrebuiltGmsCorePix)
GoogleBackupTransport
GoogleFeedback
GoogleLoginService
GoogleOneTimeInitializer
GooglePartnerSetup
GoogleServicesFramework
Phonesky
SetupWizard
Velvet.
In case you forgot to remove the GmsCore updates, you can manually remove these using adb uninstall com.google.android.gms.
After that, reboot your android device - all privileged GAPPS should be removed. (a bootloop may be caused, but dont worry, just boot into TWRP and follow below steps.)
IF YOU ARE ON CUSTOM ROM-> after flashing rom zip, do not reboot and follow below (DONT FLASH ANY GAPPS)
Make full backup of your device if not made till now
Installing MicroG
Download Latest "MinMicroG-Standard-XXX.zip" from here
Add "system-" to start of package name (thus making it like "system-MinMicroG-Standard-XXX.zip" ) and copy it in sdcard or internal storage of phone. Now boot into TWRP
flash "system-MinMicroG-Standard-XXX.zip".
OLD METHOD, USE THIS IF ABOVE WONT WORK
Download the following from here
full NanoDroid-xx.xx.xx.xxxxxxx.zip
NanoDroid-setupwizard.zip
NanoDroid-uninstaller.zip (if it causes brick)
Copy below in sdcard or internal storage of phone. Now boot into TWRP
NanoDroid-setupwizard.zip
NanoDroid-uninstaller.zip (if it causes brick)
flash NanoDroid-setupwizard.zip, now an aroma installer is opened. click on next , agree to terms and click next, chose save location "/data/media/0" (you can change this as per your needs but remember this location since here the installer will save 3 files) and click next
now from here onwards you can select yourself according to your needs or follow my tutorial till the end of aroma installer.
you should be on generic settings page, tick 'apps', 'maps apiv1', 'init scrips', 'gnu bash', and 'shell utils'. click next.
in microG page, select "full", next, on f-droid page select "official", next, select all 4 nlpBackends, next, now here select "play store(patrched)" if you want to use Play store (your choice, if you want to degoogle select "Aurora + fake store"), next
now select apps of your choice here, next, on Debloat setup page click next (yeah just skip it), and finally click on create config, next and finish.
Aroma installer Ends now.
Now while in twrp, connect your phone to PC and browse to internal storage (or the location you selected during aroma installer to save files)
the 3 files will be ".nanodroid-overlay", ".nanodroid-setup", ".nanodroid-apps". Copy these to PC and keep them in some place safe. Now open "nanodroid.zip" (that you downloaded earlier) with winRAR or 7zip and drag and drop these 3 files in it. (they should be in root of the zip where "meta-inf" folder is)
now copy NanoDroid-xx.xx.xx.xxxxxxx.zip to your phone and flash it.
now boot into system. if flashing nanodroid causes bootloop, restore from twrp backup that you made (i told you so!).
Configuring MicroG
You need to setup microG , go into microG settings (in app drawer or in settings) and set up everything like:
check results in Self-Check, grant all the missing permissions (by tapping on them)
especially the Battery Optimization item
if Phonesky (= Fake Store or Play Store) lacks signature spoofing permissions head to Settings / Apps / Permissions / Signature Spoofing and grant it
enable Google device registration
enable Google Cloud Messaging (only if you want to receive push messages from your applications)
enable Google SafetyNet, required for applications that utilize SafetyNet, for example Pokémon GO (Currently Broken)
in UnifiedNlp Settings choose all (whichever you've choosen to be installed)
Déjà Vu, Mozilla, Apple, and others (like GSM and WiFi Location Service)
Nominatim as Address lockup backend
after everything is done, reboot
if you installed Play Store open it, setup account and install your apps
Make sure you have all options ticked in self-check of microG settings (except maybe for last one). if not web search it or post it here.
Congratulations, you have successfully removed Gplay services.
ONLY IF YOU HAVE USED OLD METHOD (USING NANODROID)
Updates of nanodroid
Make full backup of your device before update. In case anything happens after update, you can rollback easilySo the nanodroid is updated quite frequently with the apps that come with it. So when you see an updated version of nanodroid on official download page (yeah there are no automatic updates, you have to manually check by going to the download page and download it) download below zips from here
full NanoDroid-xx.xx.xx.xxxxxxx.zip (the updated version)
NanoDroid-uninstaller.zip (the updated version)
* Now open "NanoDroid-xx.xx.xx.xxxxxxx.zip " (updated version) with winRAR or 7zip and drag and drop those 3 files [ ".nanodroid-overlay", ".nanodroid-setup", ".nanodroid-apps".] in it. (just like you did before)
* Now copy NanoDroid-xx.xx.xx.xxxxxxx.zip to your phone and flash it through twrp.
You may need to re-configure microG, so just do it again.
Huge thanks to the below members for the tools.
@santhoosh for twrp
@MaR-V-iN for microG (thank you sir!)
@Setialpha for nanodroid
@FriendlyNeighborhoodShane for MinMicroG
and other ones whom i forgot to add
Now lets de-bloat your device. see post #2

De-bloat M30s
make full backup of /data and /system using twrp before debloat
The following apps are going to be de-bloated from your phone through adb. I cannot find another way to batch uninstall apps on android pie. If you know then please comment it below. PLEASE.
If you want other apps to be added to this list then please comment the package name (like com.xxx.xxxx.xxx or whatever) (not the app name like google app) and what this app does. It would be very helpful for all of us and i am also looking for other packages to add to this list since this is near-least de-bloat which does not break any system functionality.
if you want to remove any app from this list then comment the package name and what that package does. . It would be very helpful for all of us and i am also looking for packages to remove from this list that break system functionality.

Strange, do you have m307f or m307fn?
Also what's the region of your phone firmware, mine is INS and there was no prob for me while debloating.
Restore to the backup before debloating and try to de bloat again and see if the problem persists.
If nothing works, try debloating some apps at a time and see if it breaks

Mine is m307f.My region is India. I took about 8 hrs to complete the debloat about 60 apps.So it might be better to know which are apps connected with gallery app.So I can reinstall them.

why did it took you 8 hrs to complete de bloat?
ping this issue on telegram on official group https://t.me/SamsungGalaxyM30SOfficial , i will discuss it with you there.

should the phone be rooted for debloating? or can I simply debloatvusing adb?

no need to root

Hi and thanks for the guide. I have installed everything.
Have also wiped and tried it several times because i have no network: "sim not registered on network" on bth sims.
This happens as soon as I disable dm-verity. If I flash Stock ROM back again then its ok and the cards work. Then I do the whole thing again with magisk then dm-verity and can't make or receive any calls. It shows sgnal bars (although sometimes very bad) but I can't mke any calls.
IMEI ist intact as far as I can tell.
The stock ROM I flashed was the PDA version on sammmoble for my phone and country.
I have booted into safe mode and it made no difference.
Any suggestions would be appreciatted.
thanks

Which ones do I need to remove from the list to keep Google play store? Also is it possible to remove Samsung store ?
Thanks for the help

De-bloat M30s
make full backup of /data and /system using twrp before debloat
The following apps are going to be de-bloated from your phone through adb. I cannot find another way to batch uninstall apps on android pie. If you know then please comment it below. PLEASE.
If you want other apps to be added to this list then please comment the package name (like com.xxx.xxxx.xxx or whatever) (not the app name like google app) and what this app does. It would be very helpful for all of us and i am also looking for other packages to add to this list since this is near-least de-bloat which does not break any system functionality.

"com.android.vending" for playstore.
and i think this list removes samsung store, if not, just execute below command after putting samsung store package name in it (just like other commands).
"pm uninstall -k --user 0 <samsung store pkg name>"

it works on any version.

A Reddit User sent me the link to this Thread and I believe this may be what I am looking for, however, I have a few questions, just to make sure:
+Will this Debloat/DeGoogle/MicroG Install work on a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) and, once complete, still allow one to use Samsung's One UI with full S-Pen functionality?
+If so, is there a different process for the Note?
+When it was stated that this will work on "...any other device", does that mean any Android Phone from any manufacturer with an Unlockable Bootloader, like the Red Hydrogen One or the LG V60 (LMV600EA)?
Thanks for any help that may be sent my way.

This guide explains how to debloat M30s (or any other samsung device or any other device) and also deGoogle it by removing most of google invasive crap. (yes, GPlay services is also removed).Play store, Google app and other crap is also removed from system, so if you want to use them, install them as user app. The installation for play store is different, and it is explained below.
Check my Post on reddit for more up to date info and clear instructions HERE
When we remove Gplay services, many apps and services stop working . Many apps will give error but still work (like maps and telegram and whatsapp). Play store will definitely not work and many apps that use push notification through Gplay services (most of them) will not be able to do so. In my case Uber, ola or any other ride app was also not working and was crashing constantly. Paytm will also not work without play services. And on top of that many apps that use location might not behave properly.
Whoosh! those are a lot of problems for uninstalling play services. So, why would anyone want to do that?
Simply put it, Google is an Advertising company. No it is not a company that sells product, i mean yes it sells products and earns from them BUT more than 60% of their revenue comes from Ads that they serve you. And yes, google is the biggest Ad company in the world with more than 80% of ad share (i may be wrong about the %, feel free to search yourself). So obviously they want ta make money out of your data (by selling it) and to do that what better way than to install spyware on world's largest mobile OS.
Google play services record your every action, tracking every app that you opened and everything you do. That data remains with google and they sell it to 3rd parties (and you agreed to it when you made Google account and setup your android device. Remember Clicking on "I AGREE"?).
Here i will not discuss how invasive it is. A simple Web search with "google play services tracking" will give you much more information. (and please do search it, i beg you) (Pro Tip: reddit has best answers, so explore reddit links from search)
Here is a good one explaining things
And Gplay services Eat a LOT of battery by constantly Running in background. So if you want better battery, remove it
So you have decided to degoogle your phone (and debloat it). What to do about all those errors after removing play services?
Here Comes MicroG. microG is an Open Source replacement for Google Play Services.
"MicroG is a free-as-in-freedom re-implementation of Google’s proprietary Android user space apps and libraries.
The linux-based open-source mobile operating system Android is not only the most popular mobile operating system in the world, it’s also on the way to becoming a proprietary operating system. How is that?
While the core operating system is still released as part of the Android Open Source Project, the majority of core apps are not. It gets worse: More and more libraries and APIs are only available on phones that run various Google apps pre-installed, effectively locking third-party apps to the Google ecosystem. For these reasons Android is described as being a “look but don’t touch” kind of open.
At this point, several popular open-source applications already require some of Google’s proprietary libraries to be installed. Increasing demand in the free software community in addition to severe problems in Google’s proprietary software discovered by the Android modding community, have led to the development of a free software clone of Google’s proprietary core libraries and applications - the microG Project was born.
Although most microG components are far from complete, users are amazed by the results. Free software users got extended application support, privacy-caring users can reduce or monitor data that is sent to Google and especially older phones can expect some battery life improvements."
(So it basically removes all those errors. Great!)
So, Lets start Degoogling!
Warning: bootloader needs to be unlocked, magisk should be there and twrp should be installed.
NOTE: MAKE FULL NANDROID BACKUP OF YOUR DEVICE BEFORE PROCEEDING BY GOING TO TWRP -> BACKUP -> SELECT ALL . store it in PC or somewhere safe
Removing google crap
Flash TWRP and install magisk.
We need Signature spoofing in the ROM. Download SmaliPatcher from here and tick all patches, (We are interested in the "signature spoofing" one but all of them are useful) and follow the instructions on its page to install that module. Now your system supports signature spoofing. (I recommend SmaliPatcher even if your rom supports Signature Spoofing so that no issue arises)
Other ways for signature spoofing are given in MicroG wiki here
(IF YOU ARE ON STOCK ROM)
In case you had the Google Play Services previously installed (which Users having stock ROM have), remove all updates and the packages in /system/priv-app of the Google Services (you can use TWRP file manager or any root explorer to delete below packages, just delete the apk files in respective folders):
GmsCore (PrebuiltGmsCore, PrebuiltGmsCorePi, PrebuiltGmsCorePix)
GoogleBackupTransport
GoogleFeedback
GoogleLoginService
GoogleOneTimeInitializer
GooglePartnerSetup
GoogleServicesFramework
Phonesky
SetupWizard
Velvet.
In case you forgot to remove the GmsCore updates, you can manually remove these using adb uninstall com.google.android.gms.
After that, reboot your android device - all privileged GAPPS should be removed. (a bootloop may be caused, but dont worry, just boot into TWRP and follow below steps.)
IF YOU ARE ON CUSTOM ROM-> after flashing rom zip, do not reboot and follow below (DONT FLASH ANY GAPPS)
Make full backup of your device if not made till now
Installing MicroG
Download Latest "MinMicroG-Standard-XXX.zip" from here
Add "system-" to start of package name (thus making it like "system-MinMicroG-Standard-XXX.zip" ) and copy it in sdcard or internal storage of phone. Now boot into TWRP
flash "system-MinMicroG-Standard-XXX.zip".
OLD METHOD, USE THIS IF ABOVE WONT WORK
Download the following from here
full NanoDroid-xx.xx.xx.xxxxxxx.zip
NanoDroid-setupwizard.zip
NanoDroid-uninstaller.zip (if it causes brick)
Copy below in sdcard or internal storage of phone. Now boot into TWRP
NanoDroid-setupwizard.zip
NanoDroid-uninstaller.zip (if it causes brick)
flash NanoDroid-setupwizard.zip, now an aroma installer is opened. click on next , agree to terms and click next, chose save location "/data/media/0" (you can change this as per your needs but remember this location since here the installer will save 3 files) and click next
now from here onwards you can select yourself according to your needs or follow my tutorial till the end of aroma installer.
you should be on generic settings page, tick 'apps', 'maps apiv1', 'init scrips', 'gnu bash', and 'shell utils'. click next.
in microG page, select "full", next, on f-droid page select "official", next, select all 4 nlpBackends, next, now here select "play store(patrched)" if you want to use Play store (your choice, if you want to degoogle select "Aurora + fake store"), next
now select apps of your choice here, next, on Debloat setup page click next (yeah just skip it), and finally click on create config, next and finish.
Aroma installer Ends now.
Now while in twrp, connect your phone to PC and browse to internal storage (or the location you selected during aroma installer to save files)
the 3 files will be ".nanodroid-overlay", ".nanodroid-setup", ".nanodroid-apps". Copy these to PC and keep them in some place safe. Now open "nanodroid.zip" (that you downloaded earlier) with winRAR or 7zip and drag and drop these 3 files in it. (they should be in root of the zip where "meta-inf" folder is)
now copy NanoDroid-xx.xx.xx.xxxxxxx.zip to your phone and flash it.
now boot into system. if flashing nanodroid causes bootloop, restore from twrp backup that you made (i told you so!).
Configuring MicroG
You need to setup microG , go into microG settings (in app drawer or in settings) and set up everything like:
check results in Self-Check, grant all the missing permissions (by tapping on them)
especially the Battery Optimization item
if Phonesky (= Fake Store or Play Store) lacks signature spoofing permissions head to Settings / Apps / Permissions / Signature Spoofing and grant it
enable Google device registration
enable Google Cloud Messaging (only if you want to receive push messages from your applications)
enable Google SafetyNet, required for applications that utilize SafetyNet, for example Pokémon GO (Currently Broken)
in UnifiedNlp Settings choose all (whichever you've choosen to be installed)
Déjà Vu, Mozilla, Apple, and others (like GSM and WiFi Location Service)
Nominatim as Address lockup backend
after everything is done, reboot
if you installed Play Store open it, setup account and install your apps
Make sure you have all options ticked in self-check of microG settings (except maybe for last one). if not web search it or post it here.
Congratulations, you have successfully removed Gplay services.
ONLY IF YOU HAVE USED OLD METHOD (USING NANODROID)
Updates of nanodroid
Make full backup of your device before update. In case anything happens after update, you can rollback easilySo the nanodroid is updated quite frequently with the apps that come with it. So when you see an updated version of nanodroid on official download page (yeah there are no automatic updates, you have to manually check by going to the download page and download it) download below zips from here
full NanoDroid-xx.xx.xx.xxxxxxx.zip (the updated version)
NanoDroid-uninstaller.zip (the updated version)
* Now open "NanoDroid-xx.xx.xx.xxxxxxx.zip " (updated version) with winRAR or 7zip and drag and drop those 3 files [ ".nanodroid-overlay", ".nanodroid-setup", ".nanodroid-apps".] in it. (just like you did before)
* Now copy NanoDroid-xx.xx.xx.xxxxxxx.zip to your phone and flash it through twrp.
You may need to re-configure microG, so just do it again.
Huge thanks to the below members for the tools.

A Reddit User sent me the link to this Thread and I believe this may be what I am looking for, however, I have a few questions, just to make sure:
+Will this Debloat/DeGoogle/MicroG Install work on a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) and, once complete, still allow one to use Samsung's One UI with full S-Pen functionality?
+If so, is there a different process for the Note?
+When it was stated that this will work on "...any other device", does that mean any Android Phone from any manufacturer with an Unlockable Bootloader, like the Red Hydrogen One or the LG V60 (LMV600EA)?
Thanks for any help that may be sent my way.

+Yes, just dont uninstall apps that control S-pen functions (you can search which apps are necessary for them)
+NO, but make a complete backup in case you ****up something.
+Yes, it should. Try it and for more general guide visit here

Thanks so much!

Can i do signature spoofing with super su and xposed? My phone doesnt support magisk

So, If i understand correctly, I will have oneui with microG instead of GMS correct? Also, after all the process can I root the phone or that must be done before? I wanna use magisk module to spoof Saftynet. And to finish, will I be able to update oneui without a problem?
Thx a lot

Question So much to ask for de-Googled Sony Android with Sony apps?

I just got my Xperia 1iii. It's great, but I don't want all the Google crap on it. Disabling the Google services just makes it throw errors about how every bloody app on the phone won't run without Google Play Services (like phone, serious? Phone?!) The errors throw so frequently it pretty much makes the phone unusable. Previously I uploaded an AOSP build onto my XA2 Ultra and it lacked all of the Sony apps, and the "fixed" ones (like Musix) would often crash for no reason.
Since part of the Xperia 1iii big deal is its photography and video app capabilities, I am hesitant to upload a custom build and lose my Sony apps. Is it possible to start with a factory Xperia firmware and rip all the Google crap out of it and replace things like Phone and Contacts with non-Google versions? Is it possible to build an AOSP firmware following the Sony Developers guides without the Google crud but with the Sony Xperia apps.
I love the Sony stuff (brand whore mode active.) I just want a de-Googled Xperia, with all my Sony apps which make the Xperia an Xperia. I don't need anything any more fancy than that. Is that so much to ask??

Hi, you can try to flash CN firmware if you don't want google apps installed.

Sony is using Google's apps on the Xperia 1 III. Phone, Messages, Contacts, Photos, Mail, Maps, Clock, Settings, Files, etc. Some people maintain the original AOSP apps that might be good replacements.
Sony's camera and video apps are really bad so I wouldn't miss them. I'm keeping the bootloader locked a bit longer only to see if 5G gets fixed in the US model.

Is going from Google running in the background to a Chinese firmware really any better?

If I can replace the Google versions with AOSP versions, I could conceivably then disable the Google services. What's so bad about the camera and video apps on the 1iii? They seem quite capable and I thought were part of Sony's flagship system. I am disabling 5G network and only using LTE and lower on my phone, so that part does not bother me.

There is a trick to disable most google, I got rid of some google and the one push button on the side for google assistant, but you have to start the phone from scratch. and if you want to return back to normal, just reset your phone, I don't have my phone now, yesterday I got a good price and traded for Samsung S8 tablet. the Xperia 1iii, bad battery life.

Thanks. That gives me some hope, then. Do you have any tips?

I can't give you the exact details, as i don't have my phone now, but these are the instructions.
You have to hard reset the phone, with the phone offline and no data going through the phone, for the normal setup it should give you the option in the form of ticks, once setup, all the apps ticked off should not show, and the google assistant button does not work.
hope this works for you.

Thanks. Unfortunately, the only check options I have are for location and a sub-option. I must accept the Google terms in order to complete setup. I am going to put APKs for the Simple Mobile Tools on my SD card, install those, and set them as my default applications before I start disabling Google apps and the Google Play Service. I will put it on-line later and see what happens.

HA! I unlocked the bootloader in preparation for compiling AOSP. In the meantime I decided to go hog wild and start uninstalling applications via adb. I wound up getting it into a boot-loop and had to re-lock the bootloader to restore with the Xperia Companion. I will be diving back in later this week. I think I know what I removed which broke it.
Are there any limits to the number of times I can unlock and re-lock the bootloader? I imagine going at this with reckless abandon only to find that I reach some kind of limit.

With the boot-loader re-locked, I did some more work in the adb shell and the package manager.
While looking up the various packaged installed on the phone, I found this very helpful blog post:
Remove Android system applications (an example)
How to remove android preinstalled applications (an example)
fekir.info
I found these packages installed on my Xperia 1iii with the latest Android 11 update, build 61.0.A.23.20.

I pasted these adb uninstall commands into the adb shell and rebooted the phone.

Like the blog post, there are plenty of replacements for the applications I will need. Simple Mobile Tools has a phone dialer and a contacts manager. GMaps can be reasonably replaced by HereWeGo. QKSMS for messaging. And more.
Now I will install Blokada NetGuard to see what else is communicating with Google behind my back and see how to excise any of those, then put it on the wireless. Soon to follow will be inserting my SIM and trying out the phone. Fingers crossed and I will report back in a couple of days, on the other side of AT&T 3G.

Just to note, sooooo many applications, including Sony's apps, attempt to access Google.
As well, while I was testing apps and data the system decided to update. Which turned out to be an upgrade to Android 12. Thankfully, none of the applications I uninstalled came back.

There must be something lingering in the system. Apps which worked on an AOSP build with no Google services at all continuously crash: AcuRite, Accuweather, and Opera. The previous two would complain they could not work without Google Play Services but worked fine after tapping OK. Now they just crash. This is disappointing.

All has been going well. The apps that do not work are not a big deal, but Software Update keeps crashing. I used "App Inspector" to help figure out what is going on, and it appears the Software Update app is making a call to com.google.android.gms (Google Mobile Services,) which I have uninstalled. Does this seem reasonable to anyone?
It concerns me that I may not be able to receive future updates if I do not have GMS operational on my phone.

You can always manually update newest firmware with sonys EMMA (https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool/download-flash-tool/). Not as good as auto updates but if you just remember to do it often it's good enough.

It's possible to de-google nearly completely. With root+magisk+Debloater and Systemizer, i've replaced most apps for their old Sony equivalents (including Album, Contacts, Phone, Calculator). It takes a little trial and error with versions to get it fully working but worth the effort.
Haven't managed to get rid of Messages yet for Sony's old Messaging.
Then I also use MicroG so I get Whatsapp push notifications and offline cell-based location, but it's not compulsory.
