@blank90000 I don't no about it in this context but when I drive doesn't show up you need to reset the port, it's not hard and there's vids so maybe try that till someone gets back to you
It worked flawlessly on my LG Stylo 6. Just had to watch this video a few times to get it down. I also used the platform tools to remove that annoying "Activate Your Device" notification every time the phone boots up. I was going to flash the phone to a generic Android 10 LG firmware containing no bloatware but this video saved me from doing that. THANK YOU!!!
Adding my voice to the chorus of thanks for this tutorial. What an extremely clear and concise explanation of something that many people get nervous about doing due to the number of cautionary tales about bricking your phone! As a bonus, thank you for the tip about calling cmd from the file explorer bar: I've been programming for almost a decade and had no idea about this feature!
Thanks for the feedback! I just learned that cmd tip in the last couple of years. I saw someone else do it on youtube and I thought it was soo cool! =)
Finally a complete video on android debloating, I've checked so many videos but none of them described them properly . Here you described in a such a easy way even a newb can do it. Thank you very much
Great video! Very detailed and useful! One tip if you don't think you need a gui for this, you can skip the download of the debloater software. You still need to download platform tools, and a package name viewer, then open your terminal in the platform-tools folder, connect to device with the "adb devices" command shown in the video, then type: adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 your-package-name . And the software is gone from your phone. :)
I love the video; it's so detailed, but what I appreciate most is that you keep us up-to-date. I just bought a new phone with lots of bloatware; hopefully this will work.
Thanks man, I wasn't sure if I was watching a recent video because it's been a hot minute since I've seen windows 8 xD Appreciate the quick and easy guide!
Haha! Rest assured I'm now on Windows 10. I would have still been running Windows 8.1 because it works well and is less bloated, but the Chrome browser no longer supports Windows 8.1.
you are a hero , bro... i have not seen anyone explain it so easily so that even someone as inexperienced as me can understand it , keep doing the good work
Thank you man, it's a great tutorial! I had one problem at the "adb devices" command, I needed to restart my computer during the process, because the cmd didn't recognize the command. Besides this it was pretty straightforward. 😊
I had watched your video and didn't know that you needed drivers for detecting your phone. This guy named Beebom, I watched his video and didn't tell that you need drivers for your device. I was so angry. Thanks to you, I know this trick and going to attempt this.
Drivers are important. Some youtubers target people that already have some knowledge on computers and electronics. I try to give as much information to help more people.
No, it won't void the warranty because you're not making any permanent changes to the phone. You can factory reset the phone and it will be back to normal.
Im really thankful for your video, i suscribed, it was easy for me to follow, didnt get lost and i obtained what i wanted, a lighter phone without that many useless apps, also, you also answered to questions i could have had in the future without even thinking about it, so, thanks, you made a basic user feel like it learned something and felt like a pro.
Thanks a lot bro. I was stuck in a little thing. One of them as you said didn't work but the second one did, and instruction of opening "cmd" in the platform tools folder I just did delete the address which had me find error. Later watching your video helped me a lot. Thanks dude. We always need a proper video for these what I can see.

Hello Friend... Thanks for the information on this video... Very helpful... Can I use these features to REMOVE THE CARRIER LOGO at the start up and/or at turning it off??? What should I be looking for in order to??? Thanks in advance for your answer. Best Regards, Joe-Ric
No, you won't be able to remove carrier logo with this video. In order to remove the carrier you will have to first root your phone. Look at the XDA forums to see if anyone has done it with your phone forum.xda-developers.com/
This should be the only tutorial on the internet on how to do this. I'm not sure why but all the other videos either make it too complicated or forget to mention things us PC dummies simply do not grasp

Thanks for the video. Now I have to figure out which bloatware and spyware apps to remove or disable from my recently purchased Cricket Wireless version of the Moto G Sylus G 2024.
@@CR1MMINNAL , I didn't. When I tried my _current_ samsung, I followed the steps as I watched the video. The instructions are very accurate, you can’t miss a thing. And it worked. I removed a few apps. But I have a different issue with my other very _old_ samsung (the model is about 10 years ofd). The debloater recognizes it: the name appears in the corner but… No apps show up in the debloater's list. It's empty. I hoped I’d debloat my old phone too and use it as an extra one but I couldn't. Well, it's ok for me. What I noted for myself: you need to open the cmd from the same folder as instructed. I tried opening it from the Win+R window, but failed.

I just went back a few steps and followed the instructions from some earlier stages. And it worked (other than no apps showed up in the deboater window).
When I press "uninstall" the application closes and the selections are not deleted. Why can this happen? I followed your instructions, anyone have any ideas or want to help?
Some issues arise for some people. I don't know how to troubleshoot the issue on the app. You can try searching through the "issues" section of the app download page to see if anyone has a similar problem to yours github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater/issues

If you are using chrome, should be in your downloads folder, click Ctrl+J. After that, If you want view the folder in explorer, click on the upper three dots on the right (menu icon), click on "Open downloads folder"
Nothing happened after I click the uninstall. I mean, no apps were displayed under the "recommended". all apps are only displayed if I change it to "all". also, I don't have that "api" and "systrace" folders inside that platform tools folder what should I do? :(. since I wanna uninstall apps such as microsoft, facebook etc. this is samsung galaxy j2
Does the program recognize your phone model? Maybe they don't have proper support for your specific phone. I would download the platform tools folder again and try it again. You can also check the developer website for this program to see if someone else has an issue related to yours. github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater/issues
I don't have experience troubleshooting issues with this software. I got lucky and didn't run into any issues. Check the software link to read about issues with the software.
Thanks.. What the world really needs is a way to find/remove STARTUP apps that stick in background, I know it's built in with new OS, but older Androids don't have the option.
I have had a couple of apps that I needed to uninstall a couple of times for them to go away. Try it again. If it doesn't work, it might be a glitch in the app or phone software that doesn't allow it to be removed.
just a hint for Xiaomi phone. Everything worked like a charm, except when i rebooted the device using UAD, it turned off USB Debugging in developer options, my device wasnt recognized anymore and it took few minutes to figure out maybe debugging is off, for some reason. Turned on, worked like a charm again.
thanks for the help. i have 2 questions, 1. if its possible to make that all the uninstalled apps should never come back even with a factory restart? 2.i need to uninstall google play but i cant find it to debload it.
1. Yes, but you will need to root the device and delete the apps while rooted. You can check the XDA developers forums to see if they have any rooting instructions for your device. xdaforums.com/ 2. The name of the google play store app is com.android.vending
Yo, thanks for the video but I have question. I removed most of my bloatware apps but by my stupidity removed the miui galery too. Is there any way of installing the package for it instead of reseting the phone again ? Cheers !
I get this: adb : The term 'adb' 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. At line:1 char:1 + adb devices + ~~~ + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (adb:String) [], CommandNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
This is an awesome tutorial but, for some reason, although my LG G4 is connected to the laptop & I have full access to both my Internal Drive & SD Card, the Debloater still won't recognize my phone & populate the list. I've done it multiple times, gone through the steps carefully, tried to troubleshoot, but no luck at all :(
Maybe the software doesn't support that phone or the developer doesn't have a list of recommended apps to remove. Are you able to manually search for apps?
@@ChavezDIY... hey, thanks for responding! Yes, I had no problems downloading both debloater apps and doing the steps for cmd & adb devices. But when it came time to open either debloaters, it couldn't find my phone, even though it was connected properly to my laptop. It tried... and at one point it recognized the phone but didn't populate a list, so not sure if it actually has anything to remove. I was mainly interested in getting rid of preloaded Google TV, Google News, LG Health Agent, Cloud Print, Music apps.
The problems I face:- The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-convert-|1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
Since this doesn't completely remove the apps and would return when I do factory reset, does this mean the app is still taking up storage pre-factory reset? Just not visible/functionality removed?
I don't know. You might have to ask on the developer website. I imagine there is a partition in the memory chip where a backup of the operating system and all stock files are stored. In order to permanently delete anything from that partition, you will need root access. The apps are uninstalled, but they're not deleted from the backup partition. The installation files for apps tend to be small, its all the cache and downloading of additional updates and background processing that you will be saving by uninstalling.
I don't think you will be able to recover any data from a PIN locked phone. I believe the data on the phone is encrypted. Even if you removed the storage chip, you still won't be able to read all the data on the chip without using expensive software that only data recovery techs have. If the phone belongs to you, you need to first unlock it. If you can't unlock the phone you will need to speak with a data recovery technician, it's an expensive service.

If you are using chrome, should be in your downloads folder, click Ctrl+J. After that, If you want view the folder in explorer, click on the upper three dots on the right (menu icon), click on "Open downloads folder"
thank you so much for this video. The tutorials step by step is really amazing and it helped me a lot
Keep up!!
Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad this video was helpful! =)
Nothing happened after I click the uninstall. I mean, no apps were displayed under the "recommended". all apps are only displayed if I change it to "all". also, I don't have that "api" and "systrace" folders inside that platform tools folder
what should I do? :(. since I wanna uninstall apps such as microsoft, facebook etc. this is samsung galaxy j2
Does the program recognize your phone model? Maybe they don't have proper support for your specific phone. I would download the platform tools folder again and try it again. You can also check the developer website for this program to see if someone else has an issue related to yours. github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater/issues
Thank you so much
Your explanation was very nice and helped me a lot
I'm glad it was helpful! =)
This is the best tutorial
Thanks for the feedback! =)
Awesome video and +1. The software though does not recognize my Honor View 20 although its listed in device manager. Any clues? Thank you.
I don't have experience troubleshooting issues with this software. I got lucky and didn't run into any issues. Check the software link to read about issues with the software.
Thanks, got rid of 5GB BS
Awesome! =)
Thank you soo very much for helping us!❤
No problem 😊
Hey I need some help. I have everything working. It even recognizes my phone. But when I click uninstall on a app nothing happens
Could be a glitch in the software, I've had to uninstall some apps twice in order to get them uninstalled. Try again.
Thanks.. What the world really needs is a way to find/remove STARTUP apps that stick in background, I know it's built in with new OS, but older Androids don't have the option.
That's a good point.
I'm able to follow these steps quickly but Touchpal for my phone still won't uninstall. What could be the problem here?
I have had a couple of apps that I needed to uninstall a couple of times for them to go away. Try it again. If it doesn't work, it might be a glitch in the app or phone software that doesn't allow it to be removed.
just a hint for Xiaomi phone.
Everything worked like a charm, except when i rebooted the device using UAD, it turned off USB Debugging in developer options, my device wasnt recognized anymore and it took few minutes to figure out maybe debugging is off, for some reason. Turned on, worked like a charm again.
Thanks for sharing that information! =)
this works............. love from india,tamilNadu
Awesome! I'm glad it worked! =)
thanks for the help.
i have 2 questions,
1. if its possible to make that all the uninstalled apps should never come back even with a factory restart?
2.i need to uninstall google play but i cant find it to debload it.
1. Yes, but you will need to root the device and delete the apps while rooted. You can check the XDA developers forums to see if they have any rooting instructions for your device. xdaforums.com/
2. The name of the google play store app is com.android.vending
IS THERE A WAY?
Yo, thanks for the video but I have question.
I removed most of my bloatware apps but by my stupidity removed the miui galery too. Is there any way of installing the package for it instead of reseting the phone again ?
Cheers !
Yes, there's an option in the program to reinstall a program that you removed.
@@ChavezDIY Found it , thank you :)
I get this: adb : The term 'adb' 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.
At line:1 char:1
+ adb devices
+ ~~~

Try it again starting from the beginning. You made a mistake somewhere.
This is an awesome tutorial but, for some reason, although my LG G4 is connected to the laptop & I have full access to both my Internal Drive & SD Card, the Debloater still won't recognize my phone & populate the list. I've done it multiple times, gone through the steps carefully, tried to troubleshoot, but no luck at all :(
Maybe the software doesn't support that phone or the developer doesn't have a list of recommended apps to remove. Are you able to manually search for apps?
@@ChavezDIY... hey, thanks for responding! Yes, I had no problems downloading both debloater apps and doing the steps for cmd & adb devices. But when it came time to open either debloaters, it couldn't find my phone, even though it was connected properly to my laptop. It tried... and at one point it recognized the phone but didn't populate a list, so not sure if it actually has anything to remove. I was mainly interested in getting rid of preloaded Google TV, Google News, LG Health Agent, Cloud Print, Music apps.
Excellent video man thank you very much
You're welcome! =)
I accidentally deleted something I shouldn’t have. How do I add them back?
There's an option in the program to reinstall apps that you deleted.
Dang. In surprised you responded so soon. I figured out a factory reset. Thanks a lot.
I’m*
Well explained sir❤❤❤
Thanks and welcome! =)
The problems I face:-
The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-convert-|1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
That sounds like a problem with the Windows Operating System. See if this video helps: th-cam.com/video/hJ3GoZb6NHk/w-d-xo.html
best video on removing bloatware thanks a ton
You are welcome! =)
How to for HP USB driver. I can get on you mentioned site
Does your computer recognize your phone? What phone do you have?
finally a tutorial that works!
thank you
You're welcome! =)
Since this doesn't completely remove the apps and would return when I do factory reset, does this mean the app is still taking up storage pre-factory reset? Just not visible/functionality removed?
I don't know. You might have to ask on the developer website. I imagine there is a partition in the memory chip where a backup of the operating system and all stock files are stored. In order to permanently delete anything from that partition, you will need root access. The apps are uninstalled, but they're not deleted from the backup partition. The installation files for apps tend to be small, its all the cache and downloading of additional updates and background processing that you will be saving by uninstalling.
thank you very much for clear explanations, great tutorial
You are very welcome! =)
Thanks. its working on my oppo phone. (im try windows 11 without erros)
Awesome! =)
@@ChavezDIYCan you help me Root My OPPO A5 chinese phone.?
What do you recomend for Data Recovery like Picturs, Videos and Audio from a PIN locked androind phone?
I don't think you will be able to recover any data from a PIN locked phone. I believe the data on the phone is encrypted. Even if you removed the storage chip, you still won't be able to read all the data on the chip without using expensive software that only data recovery techs have. If the phone belongs to you, you need to first unlock it. If you can't unlock the phone you will need to speak with a data recovery technician, it's an expensive service.
thank you for sharing this information. i greatly appreciate it!
You are so welcome! =)
thank you so much, your video very useful for me, otherwise I don't want to root my phone
Awesome! =)
