Hi all,
what is the easiest and best way to debloat and optimize S22+. For non rooted users ofc
I dont need all Samsung apps, Facebook etc .
Thanks
The easiest would be to manually disable every app you can. Usually only the ore installed apps, minus the system, take space and ram. Wouldnt mess around with Samsung system apps, since you will lose functionality.
Wouldn't be the easiest but arguably the best, would be going the adb route,
Which allows you to Uninstall by the package.
I.e. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.catchingnow.icebox
You can try this app also.

I know you said non root.
I swear I would root my snapdragon tmobile version if it was possible. I will continue to hope.
enable usb debug and use this tool

[DISCONTINUED] Samsung Galaxy One UI - Optimization Guide

forum.xda-developers.com
I'm using this guide with some personal changes and so far so good. Just make sure you don't disable or uninstall anything that you use. One example in my case is Bixby routines
You can use adb command:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package_name>
I disabled a lot of things I don't use like dex, windows integration....
Debloating is good for Samsung phones because unnecessary apps are on the phone which slows it down! I'll try it too.

It is just an adb command to disable a package for the current user. You can enable again with:

You mean you've never heard of package disabler pro, u don't have to root ur phone ,go to www.packagedisabler.com, pay the little fee and disable all bloatware, do not buy from the play store, go to their website!! Google play store doesn't offer it anymore anyway I believe!!

Hi guys is there any list what is safe to debloat galaxy s22 plus?
It is quite hard to know which is a safe app to remove (uninstall/disable) ?
Check with this list https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/12jEGQftFUL3vAI03X0Ku1LgoWFQKdwPA_WHuLh_2ics/htmlview
Have to ask google one by one by its package name in order to understand what it is doing for and is necessary?

Hello all,
I found a nice little guide, which works on most of the android phones - if you want to remove system apps, but do not want to root.
All credits to dosangst on Reddit!
Working ADB connection is required.
And as always, be careful what you remove! Removing critical apps will result in bootloop and you have to reflash firmware/ROM.
1. connect device, make sure ADB is working (check with CMD "adb devices")
2. go to shell, using CMD "adb shell"
3. get list of install packages using CMD "pm list packages" (use google to find out what does each package name means).
4. remove package using CMD "pm uninstall -k --user 0 $packagname" (e.g. pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.inputdevices)
5. if correctly typed, you receive message "SUCCESS"
Optionally a reboot might be required.
Thanks.
@davebugyi
thanks for this thread. working great.
Thanks bro
In fact , we can use some data erase software , of course ,we need to install it form its website, it isn't free
Thanks thanks thanks!!! Yeah
Thank's, working good on P9 too.
Could anyone please enlighten me (and all others who might wounder) which of the system apps that can be removed "safely"?
I went form a OnePlus X and got the P10 mainly cause I got it for 359$ / 313€ without contract but I really don´t like bloat apps. HiCare might be OK to have but Notes, Music, Videos, E-mail, Health, Gallery and possibly some more apps are just a waste of space since I prefer other apps for that. I guess I just could make a folder and put all Huawei bloat inside of it and just feel a little sick each time I scroll by it so it would be nice to remove as much of it as possible.
I would happily donate a beer to the person who comes up with a list of "safe" apps to remove.

I want to know too, what apps we can remove safely.
Is it safe to remove "Huawei Mobile Services"? Also, it is so weird that my P10 has facebook and facebook messenger as system app...

How is this possible?
Android mount /system as readonly when device boots. Due to that (seems) not possible to uninstall apps from /system. I think you are uninstalling apps that are installed on /data/app but not /system apps.
Apps installed on /data/app can be unistalled accessing to android settings -> apps -> [select a app] -> uninstall

I do not know the technical background, but probably it evokes some special user priviliges hidden in the system.
To be honest I never checked where are those apps located.
For example try to uninstall GBoard (vtr-l29, B151)- not possible, not even the disable function. With this method it could be removed.
The apps are only removed for the current user. Detailed info is here: https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
I was practising this method months ago and I just found out that after I rooted my phone apparently the apps are still inside data folder. Or maybe something happened in between that I wasn't aware of.
Tried to remove com.android.calendar but no luck
OMG, thanks dude! :*
Thanks
Works great on Huawei Y5 201 7 also
any way to revert changes without a fact reset?
People if you don't like the original Huawei apps you probably don't like the default launcher. Why not just use for example nova launcher and hide all the apps that you don't use from launcher. Also you can change settings in advanced apps settings to use apps you prefer as default. Like gmail as main mail app, Google photos for gallery and so on.
64GB is enough to keep all those apps there.
Hello.

This doesn't uninstall ( meaning physically delete from disk ) apps: apps with this method simply get hidden

Ow, so then, the only thing you can do is hide with this method. (also useful)
IMHO instead of simply hiding an app to user, what doesn't prevent the app in question will automatically get started when Android is booted and therefore still performs some actions you don't want to do it ( e.g. connecting to Internet, sending data, downloading data, etc.pp ) thus using system resources as CPU and RAM, is to completely disable the app in question.
Android users may utilize Startup Auditor app what is a very handy app to do so. This app doesn't require Android is rooted.
Good afternoon,
I have an S22+ and I would like to put the original rom without all those useless applications that it brings, is it possible? and if possible without root, but I also do it if there is no alternative.

debloat your rom, you can save some battery and ram
I used adb over the last few days on the same phone for the same reason. It took me 4 resets before I learned what not to delete. I'm still not quite there. I want all the Samsung apps off this thing. If you look in the permission manager and unhide system apps you'll see so many stock apps looking for nearby devices, phone, location, and sms. It's unreal. So far my battery is already lasting much longer. I still think I will root it but I have more to learn. Did you try adb?
i try but i delete only a few apps, i dont know what i can delete :/ there is anything more to do beyond delete apps?
No only uninstalling factory applications
So when it comes to newer sony phones for development, patches, roms and debloating.
Are there previous debloating scripts we can use on the newer phones? It looks like we already have a process for root access. but not sure what i apps i should remove or backup.
Not to mention if i flash with a totally new rom i will probably want some of the Sony apps installed which means backing up the sony apps before we flash a rom to it right?
@thud1, I've successfully run the attached script using adb. I'm on the US variant, so can't root, and also removed a few extras from other non-US carriers like Orange. I'd recommend reading through it yourself and changing it (anything without a "::" at the start of the line is being removed), since I removed as much as I possibly could (including almost all Google apps). You can use it as a starting point for which apps you can systemlessly uninstall with Magisk though. After uninstalling all of those, everything still seems to be working for me, and I based it on what I uninstalled with Magisk on my 1 III, so it should also work on a rooted device.
I don't think there are any custom ROMs out yet, but even if there are, flashing will be limited to what can be done through fastboot or Magisk, since we don't have TWRP. If you wanted to install Sony apps on a non-Sony ROM, you'd likely need to use a Magisk module to add in the Sony framework to that ROM or the apps wouldn't work (not even sure if something like Camera Pro would work on an entirely non-Sony ROM like LineageOS).
EDIT: Make sure you have a browser and keyboard downloaded, else you will have to reinstall GBoard and Chrome.

To revert, running the below command should work:
adb shell cmd package install-existing --user 0 <package_name>
Example:
adb shell cmd package install-existing --user 0 com.google.android.youtube
If you want to undo everything, just do a find and replace of "adb shell pm uninstall -k" with "adb shell cmd package install-existing" in the script.

Thanks i reverted all the changes and rebooted the phone. The main reason for doing this other than having a few oddities with some of my apps.
Was that everyone is saying android 13 is pushing. so reverted all the changes to see if would push me to android 13 and then i could reapply the debloating script.
So far going into system software update. it keeps saying android 12. up to date. and doesn't seem to be pushing 13 yet.

Are you sure that this solution allows to uninstall these apps completely? Won't they be still nested somewhere in phone?
one cannot delete system apps without breaking OTA updates. that's why Magisk is systemless-root method, it does not modify system partition.
disabled apps remain disabled until factory reset. do a backup beforehand, you will brick your device...

But solution that @aIecxs suggested seems to work different than just disabling an app. When using ADB to uninstall an app it is no longer visible in apps management in settings.
