[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 21 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children) If not buying a phone that comes with these preinstalled wasn't the first option you picked, then ADB is your friend. Install Android Platform Tools on your PC Enable USB debugging in Androids' developer options Connect phone to PC via USB Open terminal, type adb devices Authorize the connection from your phone Type adb shell, and now you can wreak havoc on your phone so only continue if you know what the hell you're doing To uninstall an app, type pm uninstall --user 0 *package name* For example, pm uninstall --user 0 com.facebook.services Should you uninstall something by accident, you can reinstall by using cmd package install-existing *package name* permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] ximtor@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Note: if you somehow manage to uninstall system packages you can't reinstall those (afaik). At least i ended up having to reset the phone twice while setting up and trying to change the default camera app. Not the worst on a new phone i guess. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago I guess I'll file this under only proceed if you know what you're doing I removed a package that was needed for the sim card to function once. Didn't remember what that package was, because I just went to town without documenting what packages I uninstalled. That's a learning experience right there permalink fedilink source parent [–] chahk@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) This only disables these packages. Any OTA update re-enables them, and you have to re-disable them again. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago It does uninstall them completely. However, the installation files are still there for the system to use. A factory reset for example wouldn't work the way it's intended to otherwise. Though I don't know about how updates behave in that instance, so that sounds annoying if it's like this. permalink fedilink source parent [–] timo_timboo_@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) I'd also recommend the universal android debloater. makes the whole process quite easy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago True, I always forget that exists permalink fedilink source parent
