  Even better:

  1. Click 8 times on your Build Version in the Info tab of your settings to enable developer mode
  2. Enable USB Debugging in the developer options
  3. Install Android SDK on your PC
  4. Connect phone via USB and click trust this PC
  5. open terminal
  6. adb shell
  7. pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.partnersetup

  Boom, completely uninstalled.

  While you’re at it, you can go ahead and uninstall all the other bloat shit you don’t want; Facebook services, Microsoft shit and other google stuff you don’t want.

    Does this work with every brand?

    Xiaomi is pestering me with a myriad of unwanted and unnecessary apps.

      if you’re in the adb shell you can do pm list packages to get a list of every installed app. Because you have to input the complete name of the package to uninstall it. There you will get all of them.

      If you open the Google Play Store website and search for an app you will also find the full package name in the URL

      When I had the stock ROM in my xiaomi, https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater, did the job. No need for Android SDK, just ADB and this.

        This is what I used on the Xiaomi phone I’m using now. I disabled a load of the Xiaomi junk and had no problems.

        Just don’t disable the default dialler, as other diallers seem to rely on it to draw on top of other apps, meaning that I couldn’t answer the phone with it disabled.

        It sometimes provides description of the package as well.

      I am not 100% if this works with every brand.

      You can test this, what i posted here cannot destroy your system. If something fails, it just doesn’t uninstall the app. Other than that there are no destructive commands i posted here.

      You can install Canta from F-Droid that allows you to easily uninstall apps with just one device, and gives you a short description of what it does. f-droid.org/packages/org.samo_lego.canta/

    Install Android SDK on your PC

    Minimal ADB and Fastboot on Windows, on *nix just search for ‘adb’ in your package manager. No need for the whole SDK.

    Even better with wireless debugging and some app manager or shizuku

    • RandomLegend@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      yup, i have a bash alias that connects wireless first and then goes adb shell

      source

      • Gooey0210@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Why? 🥺 you can just do wireless adb to the same device, and open the shell in termux 🫣

    Install UAD (Universal android debloater) on your PC. Has recommended and advanced lists to remove bloatware across various brands.

    • RandomLegend@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      UAD doesn’t work with wayland atm afaik.

      That’s why i went with the manual route.

        Even with XWayland?

        😅 In software, I am not an early adopter for such reasons. Being in consumer tech development, I prefer to be one step behind.
