Hey Chris.. Big fan of your content! For tech enthusiasts who don't want to go to the lengths of rooting and flashing this is a pretty neat method to get rid of all OEM stock apps. However, the bypass mentioned by you for [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR] needed a little tweak to work on Windows cmd prompt -> adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 . Thanks again.. you rock!
This video is awesome and helped me a lot. But I need to say two thing for Windows users like me. (1) "grip" just work at Linux. Te proper command line for Windows is the following: "adb shell pm list packages | findstr ". (2) To delete some apps you need to, first, use "adb shell". Then, "adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 " as Cornel Dutta mentioned in a comment here.
Thanks for the useful tutorial, some of facebook packages I wasnt abble to uninstall with simple command "adb uninstall" I had to use "adb shell pm uninstall --user 0". Hope it helps to somebody with same issues.
For non-rooted phones, the adb command after shell should be: "pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.your.app.name" Where com.your.app.name is the package name of the app that you want to uninstall.. Do remember that since the phone is NOT rooted, the uninstall is merely taking the app out of view of "user 0" space or the standard non-root user..

Thank you! I have a Samsung note 20 ultra on the way and I plan to debloat! I do have a paid app from the app store that does debloat. However I would much rather do it independently and out of the phone or tablet completely
Hey Chris, can you make a tutorial on Android custom ROM? Like, what ROM to use, steps to install a ROM for newbies, how to avoid brick your device, etc?
This way of removing apps doesn't uninstall the system apps. It just disables them and you can enable them again with some command. If you watch XDA Developers video they also mention this
Great bro, its amazing all that stuff, i knew on the bottom of my heart that, there was commands like theese to do thinks like this i guess that there is a lot of much more adb commands to different purposes
No. I have a xiaomi phone. There is a toolkit called xiaomi adb/ fastboot tools. It's a Gui. It shows which are safe to uninstall through adb. There are steps on how to pair with the phone and its easier for a beginner. Maybe try through this method if you aren't flexible nor confident with entering package names and all. That program can delete most of the Google and Xiaomi apps except the essentials. And don't try to delete the themes and the security apps. You can remove the cleaner app and even the G keyboard. Check out XDA forums or there are some YT videos on the subject if you are confused. (personal advice, try to install different drivers if one doesn't work out. You can get the official Xiaomi one in the Web and it usually works)
New to all of this - is it possible to use ADB to do the following: Debloat, DeGoogle, install MicroG and retain full S-Pen functionality on a Samsung Note device?
Hey Chris, what do you think about just completely wiping my fire tablet and installing a Linux phone distribution like plasma mobile or even Tizem? I really hate my fire tablet, it’s bloated with so much extra crap and really slow. Do you think that would work and be a good choice or should I just keep my fire tablet as is? Thanks!
Fire Tablets have a bootloader that is very difficult to write to. In most instances it requires a hardware bypass of jumping the CLK on the mainboard to GND and then writing the boot on startup. It is not trivial and not recommended. If you are comfortable with plastic pry tools and don't mind the possibility of bricking the device, you can do it. However, for most, I'd recommend just deleting a lot of the ad packages from amazon and swaping the launcher to Nova.
He has a debloat Fire tablet video and ADB tool. I used it and got rid of all the Amazon bloat, reinstalled the Google Play set, and removed startup ads. So far my tablet is much much better. Before that my very new Fire HD 10 had very little installed on it, mostly empty, and it was very slow due to the bloat.
I just purchased an Android pre-pay Orbic Wonder which will only ever be used at home on wifi. I had plugged it into my Linux Mint computer intending to just let it charge via USB, and was unexpectedly surprised that it popped up an Android icon on the screen. I can open up and transfer files between the two. Didn't expect that at all. But there are a few apps on the phone I'd certainly like to get rid of. Thanks for uploading this. Will try to see if I can make this work.
6 months later, I can get the phone on the laptop screen with scrcpy.. but durned if I can do anything with adb commands in the terminal. Just doesn't do anything for me.
How about the phone only method? 🤔 Disabled apps doesn't run or use resources. But xiaomi needs a computer to disable/Uninstall. Samsung has 70+ bloatware, so good luck on that.
i like your this videos , but one problem that I need to know, if you can delete or unistall system application, can you convert the update applications in internal memory to a system without root application with the adb command ?
I've got an old Samsung 7.0 Tab that is slow as all hell. I've rooted it and tried a myriad of custom android builds that purport to be minimalist but to no avail. I've even tried rolling back to factory settings. I'm starting to think it's not just a software issue. Is it possible there is something going on internally and the system is throttling to compensate for heat? I just can't rationalize how rolling the software back has no effect on a device with no moving parts. I suppose one day I'll consider the tablet a loss either way and try cracking it open and cleaning it / replacing thermal paste.

Yes, you need to get chocolatey, chocolatey.org/install it is command line stuff. Run from powershell as administrator. Then you can use choco to install adb.

Hi. After listening to your tutorial I am thinking I will need to live with bloatware. But lets try a few questions and see if that helps. I have an LG. Under settings I do not have "about" but I have "about phone". I assume that is what you mean? Under this I do not have a "Build number" to tap 7 times on. I have a phone name if that is what you mean? but no build number. Can you help me at this point? Thanks
that grep command doesnt work for me on powershell, tried typing it in different combinations witht the spaces but it doesnt recognize it. Any thoughts?
Because of this i like the Motorola Smartphone at least until the model i have it was one of the systems without trash inside just the google things, i don't like samsung it has a lot of apps that you don't need and can't delete, well now we can, thank you for the video o/
I've never done anything like this with my phone so I'm trying it on an old phone but I'm running into an issue. I installed chocolatey, turned on usb debugging on the phone, ran adb devices, clicked "always allow" "ok" on the prompt onthe phone. Then tells me this: "List of devices attached 5d7fea23 device emulator-5554 offline" then I put in "adb shell pm list packages" and it tells me "adb.exe: more than one device/emulator" What did I do wrong?
Both operating systems, whether it be Android or iOS have pros and cons. Android has freedom and customizability and iOS has the long term reliability where it will keep getting updates.
Help please! That didnt work well for me... most 'adb uninstall com.packagename' just got 'Failure' response and a lot of apps wasnt listed on the 'adb shell pm list packages'. I think i need to root the phone to uninstall those apps
I get the error "grep : The term 'grep' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. etc" What am I doing wrong? :( I'm on Windows 10 PowerShell btw should I use some other command?
If you are de-bloating and it shows some error as in Failed and it does not show success after typing the command adb uninstall then only you can use this command : adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 then the package name
How do I reinstall one of these bloatware apps? I removed Bixby, but then I realized there were some features of it I wanted to try out. How do I put it back on?
ok I made it to the adb shell, I got the list of junk on my kindle, I type the adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 and the appname and got this output: Failure - not installed for 0 what does this mean, I am frustrated right now I want the junk off of my tablet.
wish i knew what you are talking about, all over my head. see your posts, desire the outcomes.......all above my understanding. thanks anyway i appreciate the sentiment.
Phillip Cyr when I entered "choco adb devices" in power shell, command returned "RF8N32K3NRL unauthorized". The phone's serial number + unauthorized. What did I do wrong. Phone is Samsung Galaxy A10 E.
I want to use ADB to uninstall Facebook on my Samsung smartphone. I don't know if it is tricky or not. I appreciate you giving me a cheat sheet, which I will copy and print. I just wish there was more information on how to do this on print. I need to be able to follow written instructions while I am "debugging" this phone. Anything that will actually help is appreciated.
so for some reason, my computer is basically giving me the middle finger every time I try to use the grep command. It keeps saying it is an unrecognized command. anyway to get my windows laptop to recognize that command?

Sorry Im at a loss. Your Cheat Sheet where do I find "adb" to download and install on windows ???
Do I first install a program Chocolatey? Can u Supply Link?
Yes, you need to get chocolatey,
chocolatey.org/install
it is command line stuff. Run from powershell as administrator. Then you can use choco to install adb.

Thank you I really appreciate ;)
Hi. After listening to your tutorial I am thinking I will need to live with bloatware. But lets try a few questions and see if that helps. I have an LG. Under settings I do not have "about" but I have "about phone". I assume that is what you mean? Under this I do not have a "Build number" to tap 7 times on. I have a phone name if that is what you mean? but no build number. Can you help me at this point? Thanks

4:02 he says what software he's using and if you still don't understand let me know
that grep command doesnt work for me on powershell, tried typing it in different combinations witht the spaces but it doesnt recognize it. Any thoughts?
Hi i, followed all steps and in ADB it even said success by ut the apps are still there on my Note9. What have I done wrong?
Because of this i like the Motorola Smartphone at least until the model i have it was one of the systems without trash inside just the google things, i don't like samsung it has a lot of apps that you don't need and can't delete, well now we can, thank you for the video o/
I've never done anything like this with my phone so I'm trying it on an old phone but I'm running into an issue. I installed chocolatey, turned on usb debugging on the phone, ran adb devices, clicked "always allow" "ok" on the prompt onthe phone. Then tells me this: "List of devices attached
5d7fea23 device emulator-5554 offline" then I put in "adb shell pm list packages" and it tells me "adb.exe: more than one device/emulator" What did I do wrong?
Both operating systems, whether it be Android or iOS have pros and cons. Android has freedom and customizability and iOS has the long term reliability where it will keep getting updates.
Man this is fun. I was testing this on my old samsung 7 edge
This was great. But do u have any idea of how to remove from honor/huwaei phones with kirin procrssors?
It works perfectly with does I just did it on my huawei p30 like 10 minutes ago
Help please! That didnt work well for me... most 'adb uninstall com.packagename' just got 'Failure' response and a lot of apps wasnt listed on the 'adb shell pm list packages'. I think i need to root the phone to uninstall those apps
Very important question. If this is in boot loader mode won't it erase data or factory restore the device?
I get the error "grep : The term 'grep' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check
the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
etc"
What am I doing wrong? :( I'm on Windows 10 PowerShell btw should I use some other command?
If you are de-bloating and it shows some error as in Failed and it does not show success after typing the command adb uninstall then only you can use this command :
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 then the package name
Another Great video...
How do I reinstall one of these bloatware apps? I removed Bixby, but then I realized there were some features of it I wanted to try out. How do I put it back on?
ok I made it to the adb shell, I got the list of junk on my kindle, I type the adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 and the appname and got this output: Failure - not installed for 0 what does this mean, I am frustrated right now I want the junk off of my tablet.
Hi Chris, does bootloader have to be unlocked for this?
I have an older Acer A1 830 tablet that is android. Bootloader is locked..?

when I entered "choco adb devices" in power shell, command returned "RF8N32K3NRL unauthorized". The phone's serial number + unauthorized. What did I do wrong. Phone is Samsung Galaxy A10 E.
I want to use ADB to uninstall Facebook on my Samsung smartphone. I don't know if it is tricky or not. I appreciate you giving me a cheat sheet, which I will copy and print. I just wish there was more information on how to do this on print. I need to be able to follow written instructions while I am "debugging" this phone. Anything that will actually help is appreciated.
'grep' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I figured it out
You just to insert quotes before pm like,
adb shell "pm list packages | grep facebook"
Thank you ☺️
so for some reason, my computer is basically giving me the middle finger every time I try to use the grep command. It keeps saying it is an unrecognized command. anyway to get my windows laptop to recognize that command?
What about a custom rom install guide Chris?
