I have followed all instructions for removing bixby:
:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell pm list packages | findstr "bixby"
package:com.samsung.android.app.settings.bixby
package:com.samsung.systemui.bixby2
package:com.samsung.android.bixby.service
package:com.samsung.android.bixby.agent
package:com.samsung.android.bixbyvision.framework
package:com.samsung.android.bixby.wakeup

After uninstalling each of these (adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0) "Bixby Routines" & "Bixby Vision" still remain.

Thanks for any help !!!

Hello. Could you please tell me how to remove PayJoy app from the phone?
Help me remove payjoy app
I think you only can DISABLE it - might be Android must got rooted before.
Using ADB commands
Code:
adb devices
adb shell "pm list packages -e | grep 'payjoy'" [color=red] <- this gets the package name used in next line[/color]
adb shell "pm disable-user --user 0 [color=blue]com.payjoy.status[/color]" [color=red]<- here you enter the [color=blue]true package name[/color] retrieved in previous line[/color]
adb shell "recovery --wipe-data"
So something I've realized is a lot of people don't know how powerful, even without root, adb shell can be. Using knowledge from the crappy Walmart Onn tablet's I've gained, I learned how to debloatware a device without root.
What's Needed
- ADB Drivers Installed
- ADB
- Windows Computer (someone could convert this to a .sh linux script easily)
DISCLAIMER
If you start getting Force Close errors, you will have to reset your device in Recovery mode. I'm not held responsible for this as every phone is different. On top of that, this does delete all Facebook integration from the phone. I personally use a custom app called Frost for Facebook if you want an alternative... Also, some of these only Disable the app, but that still removes it from always running in the background and taking up useless ram
Pre-Requisites On Device
1.) On your phone, open Settings and scroll down to System and select it
2.) Click About phone, then tap Build number until Developer Options is unlocked
3.) Go back and select Developer Options and enable USB Debugging
4.) Plug your device into your computer and allow the connection to the device with the pop up on the screen.
Debloating your Phone
1.) Open Notepad on your computer, and copy/paste the code below
Code:
@ECHO OFF
ECHO \................./
ECHO \..Bloat Remover../
ECHO \................./
ECHO Google Duo
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.tachyon
ECHO Google One
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.subscriptions.red
ECHO Google Play Movies TV
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.videos

ECHO Radio
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.tcl.fmradio
ECHO TCL 10Pro Demo
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.tcl.demopage
pause
2.) Save the file as Debloat.bat and close notepad
3.) Double-click Debloat.bat and it'll automatically delete all the apps listed above in the code! You can easily delete or add apps to the list as well.

You can see your packages with "adb shell pm list packages | grep '<OEM/Carrier/App Name>'"
and then manually uninstall the ones you want with "adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 NameOfPackage"

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:

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

Won't it be better if you have created list of removable apps? Other than sharing guide which everyone knows
Hey guys,
Here is a simple tutorial for debloating your Xperia 5 ii.
enable usb debugging setting.
connect your phone to pc.
Go to your map where adb drivers are located.
On the map press and hold shift, and right mouse click to open powershell.
In powershell use this commands:
1). .\adb
2). .\adb Shell
3). pm list packages
Now you see all your installed apps.
Delete the apps you want with this command.
For example facebook
4). pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.katana
Done
This is the standard guide that TK from XDA has a video on. This will just disable (stop) the application. It will still be present meaning it will not be uninstalled.
The only way to uninstall a system app is to acquire root. I did that with Magisk and Debloated module.

Any Sony users interested in trying my new script to make their Android 10+ system read-write-able? I'm curious if it also works on Sony devices.
Then you can completely delete these annoying bloatware apps from your internal hard drive. Problem solved.
Always make a backup before you permanently delete a system app! You never know which one is going to cause a bootloop!
For the lazy
