I was looking into system apps list. I saw this "com.oppo.wifisniffer" app installed as a system app. It's actually WiFiSniffer app which is installed by default into ColorOS on both Realme & Oppo devices. It's bit scary to keep such apps in your device if privacy is concerned. Anybody have any idea on this ??? I'm attaching screenshot
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oppo.wifisniffer
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?

thank uu, it worked:good:
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 updated to Android 11 today, and got the same issue.
I found this:

Seems it's not working properly under Android 11 and people think it's outdated
I got the same bug with Anroid 11
Hope that they will fix it soon

Same problem here
I have the very same problem. I have another question and pleased to be answered; how to degrant a permission from greenify for example?
If it's like this
to grant:
adb -d shell pm grant com.oasisfeng.greenify android.permission.DUMP
to degrant:
adb -d shell pm degrant com.oasisfeng.greenify android.permission.DUMP
?
Same. And the app is not working as well as before the OS 11.1.1.1 update. Eg. Instagram is constantly waking up despite being Greenfied, along with various other apps.

It's also the case for me. I think it (Instagram App) is persistent.
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.
So this morning I got frustrated with some of the preinstalled software on my Xiaomi and I decided to connect it per adb via usb to my PC, after which I launched the shell and manually uninstalled following packages:
com.google.android.apps.wellbeing
com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
com.facebook.services
com.facebook.system
com.facebook.appmanager
com.miui.analytics
com.xiaomi.mipicks
com.qualcomm.qti.uceShimService
com.qualcomm.qti.callfeaturessetting
com.qualcomm.qti.remoteSimlockAuth
com.xiaomi.finddevice
with the command
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name>
After this, my phone restarted into Redmi-Recovery 3.0, with no direct way to get out.
Trying to reinstall doesn't work because in this moment, even if adb is able to connect, I cant do anything about the packages in the shell anymore.
From what I've now read, it seems like Xiaomis "Find Device" service is essential, so I'm guessing i need to "revert" it, but how?
I started following this tutorial on youtube on "how to unbrick your xiaomi phone" (which assumes that I need to reflash my ROM via fastboot), but by now I've gotten stuck at every single sub-step of doing this with MiFlash that I'm about to give up.
So that MiFlash is able to flash, the bootloader needs to be unlocked. I tried to do that with Mi Unlock (both 4.5 and 6.5) but that app is even less comprehensible and functional. sometimes pages load blank, sometimes dialogues are suddenly in chinese, but worst of all is that even though I have a verified Xiaomi account (via email), when I try to sign in with it in Mi Unlock, it asks me to provide a phone number, and when I do, it says that "+417*******3" is not a valid phone format, what the hell?
I've been stuck on this the whole day, I think I'm missing an obvious workaround to reinstall that package, or some kind of different solution? What am I doing wrongly?
Thanks for any help.
The command
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name>
doesn't remove an app, but only deletes its APK.
You reinstall the now missing APK via command
Code:
adb shell "cmd package install-existing <package name>"
Thanks for your quick reply. I've already tried this, as I've said:
even if adb is able to connect, I cant do anything about the packages in the shell anymore

The exact output is:
Code:
pm install-existing com.xiaomi.finddevice
cmd: Can't find service: package
Can't read properly? May be you've to buy new glasses ...
Although my friend from just over the border could've phrased it more nicely, this was essentially my issue. I somehow omitted "cmd" from the install-existing command the last time.... 5 hours wasted for nothing
