Requires Root
From your Phone:
1.
You can use/ download Root Explorer from the Android Market which costs ..
$3.79
In Root explorer:
Make sure you select R/W (read and write) to get out of R/O (read only) mode at the top of Root Explorer
Push menu ->Search->Search Term
ex. "SprintTV.apk" ->
Delete results that have the search term in it.
2.
Or use Sdx Stock app remover
This app can be downloaded and installed to any phone With Root. It has been tested and has been proven to work on many phones. There have been mention of some issues - please post if you do encounter problems.
Purpose:
It can be used to backup and remove any of the stock apps found in /system/app/. There's also a feature that will allow you to control whether /system/ is mount read/write (see settings->Auto mount)
Simply select all apps you want to delete... it will ask for SU permissions ...
3.
Third method is the good old ADB Method ...
Make sure you have the Samsung drivers installed on your PC.
They should be available to download directly from Samsung Shortly at this Webpage:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SPH-D710ZKASPR
Install drivers make sure USB debugging is on then connect it to your computer..
Make sure you have the Android SDK installed for adb shell on your computer.
Windows/Linux/Mac download at this link:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Open Command Prompt
Navigate to your android sdk installation folder. It it's directly in C: then type this below.
Type each step one at a time, or copy and right click paste in command prompt (do not control+v)
1. cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell
2. $ su
3. # mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
4. # cd /system/app
5. # ls
6. # rm Stock.apk
7. # rm Stock.odex
On steps 6-7, replace "Stock.apk" and "Stock.odex" with apk's you want to remove.
Step five lists the currently installed programs on your phone.
_________________________________________________________________
As people start removing apps please list on this thread which apps are safe to remove from the ROM, please post them here, along with what functionality is lost, including which "app" as it shows in the drawer, gets removed.

I've seen several posts and reviews that say you are allowed to remove all Sprint bloatware through the normal Applications manager. No root needed.

This, coupled with unlocked bootloader, is fantastic. Samsung, and to a smaller extent Sprint, deserves some love for these decisions.
If they come through on the consumer phones they absolutely do. I hope that Samsung does stick with this.

Nice! lol
Now we just need root!!!
I use System App Remover from the market which not only will remove system apps (if rooted) but has an "assisst mode" which color codes all the system apps according to their risk of removing.
Daughter installed an app named Smart App Protector on her Kindle Fire and forgot the password. The app prevents access to anything. Worked with Amazon and can't do anything that gets around it, they even deregistered it. Finally suggested going through Android Debugger Bridge. After researching, found this forum. Have searched for similar question. So,
1) Can ADB be used to remove that app and leave Kindle as it was?
2) If I need to reset to Stock, which set of instructions on this forum should I follow. Still downloading all of the Android SDK files and have downloaded Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.6, but haven't installed.
How familiar are you with adb and/or basic shell commands?
Complete novice
To use adb you must do so while booted into custom recovery since Amazon has disabled it.
Assuming you have custom recovery installed and you are rooted you need to search a few directories to find where the program and it's data are installed.
The directories (path to) are...
/data/app (for apks installed on internal memory)
/data/data (for app data stored on internal memory)
/system/app (for system apks, just in case)
/sdcard/android/data (for app data stored on sdcard)
You need to open a shell in adb
Code:
adb shell
...your prompt will change to a #. From here you'll need to know a couple commands.
Code:
ls
("ell ess" to list the files in a particular directory)
Code:
rm
(to remove or delete a particular file or directory)
First pick a directory and list the contents
Code:
ls /data/app
When you find the file or folder you want removed...
Code:
rm /data/app/problematic_file.apk
"Data" folders will only contain folders, not apks. Sometimes they are named kind of weird but if you look closely enough you can figure out the right one to delete.
If you are running 100% stock, you'll have to install custom recovery to go any further, even if you want to revert back to full stock.
thanks, but KFU status says ADB status is <offline> and boot status is <unknown>. Since I can't get past the 'enter password' screen on the Kindle, i can't change anything from it. From Windows Devices, it shows the Kindle as a Android ADB Interface, so the kfu must have loaded properly.
Make sure you're in recovery and reinstall your drivers if you have to.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23747671&postcount=2
If you don't have access to recovery, you'll have to use fastboot to install it.
Hello,
I've created a simple .bat file which can be run from a Windows computer while your phone is booted into TWRP to remove various apps that I consider bloat. I have not encountered any issues in my usage the past week, but your usage pattern may vary. This is tested on a G8142 running Oreo 47.1.A.5.51, but there is no reason it should not work on other versions. This is limited to Windows, but the commands are all ADB-specific and have nothing to do with Windows, so it should also work on Mac & Linux by changing the file extension. I take no responsibility if this messes up your phone! But, all changes this script makes can be reversed by flashing system & oem with Newflasher.
Note: This script will remove Sony Home! Please make sure you have an alternate launcher installed or remove that app from the script!!! Additionally, the app removes Google Messages, Sony Clock, Sony Calendar, Chrome, Sony Email, Gmail, Google, various international keyboard layouts, and Text-to-speech functionality. All of these, or alternatives, can be re-installed through the Play Store though.
To Modify:
The .bat file can be modified by opening with any text editor. All apps are labeled with their name, as below:
::Google Messages
adb shell rm -rf /system/app/Messages
adb shell rm -rf /data/user/0/com.google.android.apps.messaging
To prevent this app from being uninstalled, just delete those lines.
To add an app that is not on the list, use an app such as App Inspector to find the directory the app is installed to and the directory its data is located in, then add those to the list as below:
adb shell rm -rf <app Source Dir, excluding last /******.apk>
adb shell rm -rf <app Data Dir>
In some instances, such as if the app has been updated from the Play Store, you may need to remove it from /data/app/ and from /system/app/ (or /system/priv-app) as below:
::Sony What's New
adb shell rm -rf /system/priv-app/sonyentrance2-release
adb shell rm -rf /data/app/com.sonymobile.entrance*
adb shell rm -rf /data/user/0/com.sonymobile.entrance
The * above is used as a wildcard, meaning that any folder that matches everything before the * will be deleted. This is needed because random strings of letters and numbers are added to the end of the app name when installed to /data/app/. Please be careful with your * use, since using something like "adb shell rm -rf /data/app/com.sonymobile.*" would clear out several apps' data!
Instructions:
Power down the device
Reboot into TWRP by holding Power and Volume Down (phone must not be plugged into computer yet)
Attach phone to computer
Unzip JunkCleaner.zip (this is not a flashable zip!) and extract JunkCleaner.bat
Move JunkCleaner.bat to a folder that contains adb.exe
Double click on JunkCleaner.bat and let run to completion
You're all set!
Known Issues:
Swiftkey may force close on you, to fix this, clear the cache from Settings -> Apps & notifications -> App Info -> Swiftkey Keyboard -> Storage -> Clear Cache
You will see a notification that com.sonymobile.rcahandler has force closed when you first boot the phone. This can be fixed by turning on Ultra Stamina mode, turning it off, then rebooting a second time after Ultra Stamina Mode has already rebooted your phone.
To Return to Stock/Reinstall any apps:
To get back to stock, just use Newflasher to reinstall system & oem partitions. This will restore all apps that this script removes.
Please let me know if there are any apps that you have safely removed that are not in my list, as I'm sure the amount of apps can be whittled down even further.
just what i needed. thank you!
and what about those system apps like basic sleep mode and crash monitor? doe they have any effect on phone after uninstalling? going to flash Oreo now and will use your debloater
Should not be any harm, no. The Basic Sleep Mode Apps are for Android's Screensaver (under Settings -> Display -> Screen Saver), which is a bit useless without an AMOLED display since it will just kill your battery. The Crash Monitor is used by Sony for getting diagnostic info in case of a crash, but we're out of warranty by unlocking the phone, so no real effect there either.
UPDATE:
just flashed this on nougat. successfully removed all apps specified. i edited the script and excluded xperia home, album and music. works as expected. maybe you can try to find more useless apps that doesnt do anything but hog up the Ram and battery.
UPDATE 2:
used this on Oreo and everything is also good there. however, there are some apps that cannot be uninstalled either from root uninstallers or by deleting their folder. maybe you can add these apps to the junkcleaner :
Audio settings (clear audio+ DSEE etc)
com.qualcomm.qti.telephonyservice (tell me if it is important to keep)
download manager (guess its important to keep)
home network (tell if important to keep)
shell (tell if imp)
software update app (probably not used since unlocked bootloader, other apps can be updated from playstore)
wap push (tell if needed to keep)
will be even more thankful
much respect from me
For anyone that doesn't want to use this but still want to easily debloat many apps at once.
Titanium Backup has an (un)installer feature which lets you pick all the apps you want and then hit (un)install.

It may be that because Amazon Prime Video is located in the /oem partition rather than /system/app or /system/priv-app, Titanium Backup does not have code to grant write access to that directory, though I have not tested myself. Even then, the benefit of this script is that it saves you from having to manually delete ~50+ apps each time a monthly patch comes out.

Glad it's working well for you! I'll take a look at removing some of those and try and update the package later tonight. Fairly certain that telephonyservice and shell are both required by Android, but will see if any of the rest can be taken out.

You don't to manually delete apps, you can just quickselect and hit uninstall, you can also do schemes etc.
Anyway, thanks for the script regardless! Options are always nice.

I use system app remover from the store. Works pretty well and it's quick for multiple uninstalls
Can you make a TWRP flash version of your script, I think its a lot easier if its done that way.
[MM / N] [UB] [COMBINED] System/OEM Debloat Script - v1.7
Also take a look at this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...lopment/mm-n-oem-debloat-script-v1-0-t3527866
@gerald.mrrsn
Sorry to hear it was giving you troubles! I have a flashable version that you can try that's attached to this post.
@Patrck744
New flashable is attached!
I've attached a new flashable version of the script to this post--just stick it on your phone and flash in TWRP. I've added a few more apps to it compared to my original script and have also improved deletion of apps which may have been updated. I'm still planning to add more apps to the list and will update the main post with instructions on modifying the flashable zip and update the original .bat file once I've done some testing on removing additional apps.
Thanks, you're doing good work!
I tried uninstalling majority of the junk using TitaniumBackUp but I just got a bootloop. I'll test it and let you know if there are any issues with flashable version.
Hi Guys,
Do you think this would also work on the normal Xperia XZ F8331?

+1 from me!
First things first, I'd like to give a shoutout to diegocr for making the test version of Lineage OS on tank devices! Before following this tutorial, your Fire TV Stick 2 needs to be unlocked and rooted before installing these mods.
{REQUIREMENTS}: A computer that has adb connections and/or an android phone with Termux commands to run adb, can be found here (simply copy and paste while following the tutorial): https://github.com/MasterDevX/Termux-ADB, you need to be connected to the same internet in order for the connecting to work properly, an already rooted tank that's unlocked, a Google Account Manager which needs to be installed for those who have issues signing into the Google Play Store along with a command you need to run to allow it to work, and a file which contains a PlayFire folder which you'll need to move on the root of the /0/sdcard directory.
Step 1: Download this version of Gapps its tvstock and the system partition has plenty of space available. Link: https://opengapps.org/
The platform needs to be arm, android version is 5.1, and the variant is tvstock.
Step 2: Now that you have Gapps downloaded, download this PlayFire folder along with Google Account Manager before even installing Gapps within TWRP (on the Fire TV Stick). Google Account Manager (Don't download the latest version or else you will get a parse error message due to incompatibility): https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...unt-manager-5-1-1743759-android-apk-download/, PlayFire file w Folder (extract the file and put the PlayFire on the /sdcard directory): https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4205571&d=1499532978
Step 3: After downloading and putting the PlayFire folder on the root of your sdcard, reboot into TWRP and flash the Gapps zip file with tv stock and wait until its finished then reboot your Fire TV Stick 2. You'll notice that its going to optimize from 0 to 108, its completely normal since its implementing these system apps into your android system. Upon boot and everything, be sure to connect to the internet due to Lineage OS shutting off the wifi, then run these commands for the Google Play Store to work within terminal as root. What I mean by that is you need to connect to terminal as (adb connect 192.168.x.x), then add (adb shell, su), and finally copy and paste this given command and you're all set: sh /sdcard/PlayFire/LazyNoTouch.sh
Step 4: Everything should work beyond this point. If you're having difficulty with this guide, private message me and I'll send my TWRP backup for those who have no clue what to do.
So I haven't ever really looked into putting custom roms on my fire stick before so I had to look up what PlayFire was. I haven't had time to mod mine yet but I'm a little confused as to why PlayFire (not upgraded since 2017) would be needed if the LeanBack launcher is already on the rom, Is it just reinstalling it with all the xposed and HDXposed stuff it comes with?
Could you please post or message me your twrp backup I have tried everything and can not get it working tried many times. When I run the script nothing happens still can't use Google play or login to it. Followed the steps to the tee.
Worked without any issues! thanks!
Thank you very much @theflashfromthecw it work great, but do you have a patch for working mic search ?
---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------
The device is freezig after 3 minutes with the newest gapps and the linkes Google ACC manager. Any solutions ?
Try to install xposed-v87-sdk22-arm.zip with Xinstall and Downgrade option enabled before or adb install -d com.google.android.gsf.login_5.1-1743759-22_minAPI21(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk to downgrade if PlayStore update it afterward.
Is this still working? I have tried to get this working on FTV Tank running Lineage, but no luck with sign in..
Thanks!
update: I was able to get it working, I needed to enable developer options, and then root access because the script was not completing (needed for making changes to /system).
Thanks again for putting this together!

Hi.... Will this method work on pre-rooted stock image ROM?
Unable to sign-in
Hi. Thanks for this guide. I have completed as you have asked. The GAPPs is installed but I am unable to sign-in to the accounts. Please advice how to fix this.

You must run
sh /sdcard/PlayFire/LazyNoTouch.sh
no luck
Hi
I am not able to run the script, as I have created a folder called "sdcard" on the root of the internal storage and placed the PlayFire folder there. Furthermore, I used the "sh /sdcard/PlayFire/LazyNoTouch.sh" in ADB Shell, but no luck. Do we need to root Lineage OS before we use the script? If it is, can someone kindly show me a guide, how to root, as I have never done it before.

I used your suggested method without the root. It worked
If someone else wants to try this method. I did the following steps:
1. Flashed Gapps.
2. Downloaded the PlayFire (mentioned on the first page of the thread)
3. Did the unzip process and from the sub-folder (where different files exist) ran the terminal and the commands that @0815hoffi mentioned.
4. Did reboot system and when Lineage OS loaded, I manually ran the Google Account Manager (mentioned on the first page of the thread).
any advice on how to properly activate recommendations on leanback
everything else works

3. Did the unzip process and from the sub-folder (where different files exist) ran the terminal and the commands that @0815hoffi mentioned.
4. Did reboot system and when Lineage OS loaded, I manually ran the Google Account Manager (mentioned on the first page of the thread).

would this work with the latest lineage os..?
For me it has not works with the latest.
With
lineage-12.1-20200221-UNOFFICIAL-tank.zip
It has worked.
I Think MicroG support in latest is the Problem maybe.
Cant seem to download tvstock version for the gapps you mentioned. As soon as I select platform and android version.. the tvstock button gets disabled
seems like tvstock is available from android 6.0 onwards for arm platform.
Please help or point me to a compatible gapps zip
Cant find gapps for arm processor, Android 5.1 with tvstock variant. Any help would greatly be appreciated

Me too. Seems like opengapps doesn't have a mirror for that one anymore. I tried everything I could think of to search for it too, I even tried to build it from source and failed. But I kept reading every post I could and the best I could come up was finding this link:

from this post from @diegocr, who is the OP of this build of LOS 12.1 for tank:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-unlocked-tank-lineageos-12-1.3961110/post-83220635
It works! Didn't have to mess with any scripts because I couldn't actually find the gapps .zip I needed for those anyway. It's already modified. I just had to reboot into TWRP and flash it.
I'm not sure what the actual tvstock would have had that this doesn't. It does seem stripped down, but that was what I was hoping for when I opened up the thing to short out CLK.
I recently upgraded to the latest Android 12 for my OnePlus 9 Pro. It's working fairly well. I (hopefully) fixed all the tedious issues with root access and SafetyNet. Now there's only one problem the new ROM is causing me: the baked in version of YouTube is newer than the version of YouTube that YouTube Vanced would otherwise install.
I can't just use "uninstall updates" because the version baked in to the ROM is STILL newer than the Vanced version.- I also can't easily just kill it from /system/product/app/YouTube because System has that weird write protection thing on it. It also won't let me just disable it and then install Vanced
Is there any way I could get the Vanced app going? Is there a way to remove the baked-in YouTube app and just install Vanced?
Use adb to uninstall Google's YouTube and install the YouTube vanced app.
If you really want to modify system partition, you can remount it in read/write mode:
Something like this: mount -o rw,remount /system
You can also try disabling the package from command line:
pm disable <package name>
I used debloat app from fdroid it's based off the module
I use the debloat module by itself, just install and run "debloat" from a root terminal, then choose the apps you want to remove.

It's been impossible to remount /system read-write since at least OOS11 due to the dynamic partitions. If you're aware of a way to do this on OOS12, I'd be interested to hear specifics, but a simple mount command won't work on a stock device anymore.
Instal Titanium Backup and freeze the app. Had the same issue as you, now no issue after freezing it.

I did this as well with TB!
Hi guys,
The easiest way for me was to downgrade to the latest official Youtube .apk version supported by Vanced (in my case 16.29.39; latest version is shown next to the install button in the Vanced manager). Once you know the correct .apk version, just google it with apkmirror for example. Save it on your desktop; connect your phone; open power shell and downgrade via adb:
adb install -r -d XXXXXXX.apk
Than you can use Vanced Manager to install YouTube Vanced.
After that, I used TeMeFi kickass tool to detach YouTube from the Play Store.
Did the same procedure for YT Music. Rock'n Roll!
@OP
Post above looks the best way to me. Detaching YT from play store would allow you to uninstall it and install Vanced version.
