Removing most unwanted apps from the DUO - Microsoft Surface Duo Guides, News, & Discussion

Like most, I like a trim, clean phone and the DUO is definitely trim, but there are still apps I didn't want. What is a person to do? The answer wasn't fx explorer, or root explorer or even Titanium Backup. None of these worked, even with permissions granted. Here is a simple way using adb to remove those pesky unwanted apps.
adb device
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.spotify.music
Just replace the com.spotify.music with whichever app you want.
To figure out the names of the apps, open root explorer, fx explorer or which ever explorer you use and will give you root access.
When in the system folder, select the data folder.
Select the data folder in the data folder.
Located here are the apps and the names used to remove them.
Remember, if you remove something that you shouldn't, your device could become unstable and will then require a reset to the factory image. Not fun. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Enjoy getting rid of the stuff you don't want.

for me adb isnt working i don't know why... even when i plug in usb it says Preparing and thats it.. doesnt show up..

I'm curious, what apps have you uninstalled so far without any issues.

List of apps I have removed using ADB, from AT&T locked Duo.
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.nbadigital.gametimelite
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.att.myWireless
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.att.tv
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.att.mobile.android.vvm
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.tachyon
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.att.callprotect
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.hbo.hbonow
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.youtube.music

Don't forget...
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.microsoft.microsoftsolitarecollection

I also had:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.amazon.mShop.android.shopping
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.chrome (if you prefer a different browser)
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.videos
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.youtube (in favor of vanced)
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.microsoft.windowsintune.companyportal
EDIT:
Just a point of interest.
For some reason Solid Explorer wouldn't show the Data folder, whilst FX did.
In hindsight, I may have forgotten to enable viewing of hidden folders, though I don't recall having to do that on previous devices.

XZ2 compact bootloop after google package removal

[solved]
I just got my new device into bootloop
What I did?

pm uninstall -k --user 0 'com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts'
pm uninstall -k --user 0 'com.google.android.webview'
pm uninstall -k --user 0 'com.google.ar.core'
That means a little too much...
I startet WiFI after that and the phone crashed, now bootloop.
Bootloader not unlocked
Android 10 is running.
I tried to fix that with Sony PC Companion, but that aks for permission and unlocking (I obviously should give on my broken phone). That means I get connection to the phone shorly in boot.
What do you think have I done and how could I possibly fix that issue? Or did I just broke my phone removing little too much packages with adb?
Thx for your help!
just use flashtool
Did not know flashtool is such a wondertool. Was expecting it to work only with unlocked bootloader.
Whatever, just flashed new stock ftf and phone is saved.
Maybe I could have just cleared some memory, whatever, it works again.
That helped me:

Remove sprint activation on boot

I thought I should share how I got rid of sprint activation on boot up as I am using an unlocked V50 in Europe. The original instruction was from LG G8 forum. https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g8/how-to/remove-sprint-apps-rid-sprint-t4043537
I basically ran these commands in adb. Hope it helps someone.

Thanks, I guessed as much. I also wanted to remove all sprint apps since I don't use them.
I will edit the post to reflect what you said.
do the commands above have to be done with adb or can they also be done with a terminal app from play store?
if it can be done from a terminal app what would be the command to uninstall?
what if we want to reinstall after we uninstall?
does a factory data reset put those apk's back to the installed state?

It can only be done with adb on a computer. Yes, a reset will restore all original apps.

Can you elaborate a bit more please, planning to buy LM-V450PM from ebay and to use it in EU, is it working well for you, LTE, data... from what I see only drawback will be lack of dual SIM support?

It works perfectly for me in Sweden. I don't care about 5G so I never bothered to test it. If you care about installing TWRP and rooting, you would probably be better off, buying the Korean version. I would have bought it if I had seen it before buying the Sprint version since I may want to install custom ROM(at least GSI) in the future. Right now, I am very satisfied with my Sprint version though.

my lg v50 is the sprint version that i did install the latest samsung unlocked G965U1UES8ETI1_G965U1OYM8ETI1_TMK.zip firmware.
i also did the factory data reset and also did the wipe data and cache partitions from the stock recovery of the firmware mentioned above.
i currently have tmobile service and when ever i power off phone and boot up i still get that dang activation notice for about 60 seconds or so.
why is it doing this if i am on the samsung stock unlocked firmware?
do i have sprint bloat somewhere on my phone still after i flashed the stock samsung unlocked firmware?
that dont make no sense.
btw i have not ran any adb commands above after i have flashed this firmware.
Bloatware is autoinstalling from oem\OP partition after every hard reset.
But wait, you have installed Samsung FW on LG phone?? How on Earth you did that?
They definitely did not lmfao

Thanks! My sprint v50 now feels like a stock phone
Hello Everybody...Regarding the branding from US carriers of the phone.
I would like to mention my experience.
I purchased a Sprint branded phone,unlocked to GSM,brand new,,,to be used in Mexico.
The phone came complete with all accessories and manual in the sprint branded gray box.
Using ADB instructions provided above,(thanks a Lot to
lallolu)​i removed the activation message from Sprint as well the other bloatware.
The only thing left was the annoying Sprint logo and music at boot .
I was not confident to root the phone ,TRWP,etc.so i decided to reset the phone , one time
I proceed to enter Recovery , USING THE KEYS, not Android software .
Took me a few attempts, to finally reach the menu ,once there I reset,TWICE, without restarting the phone..and VOILA!!!...at restart I was presented with the RED logo of LG and the introductory melody from Life is Good...
It has been like that after several restarts, i turn off my phone at night.
The wallpapers from Sprint still there , but i changed to the ones of my liking
You ,guys, could try, your mileage may vary....
Regarding the intro Sprint logo and music,i can confirm that happened to me as well after the first factory reset i did to my V50,due to some lagging after a few months of use,which has been caused from the amount of apps i had installed,and i would like to make a new beginning.
Right after the reset,my device reboot with the well known LG logo and sound.
For all the other bloat stuff,i didn't use ADB,but i just disabled them with the Package disabler pro app.
I know they are still there,but at least i hope they are not consume my device's energy just like they used to do before disabling them.

How to stop Amazon from updating apps/processes I’ve uninstalled via adb?

I am running a FireTV 2nd Gen Box on Sloane in-rooted/locked/no trwp completely stock on 5.2.7.7 with latest updates including the “Components” update.
First of all, if anyone knows how I can safely uninstall or disable more than these 15 apps/processes on this device/firmware please let me know. The 15 I’ve tried are the only ones that I know of work without issue according to the article I followed: TechDoctorUK Debloat Fire OS 5.x
So, Somehow Amazon keeps either re-installing these apps/processes or replenishes the data as when I do the ADB commands it clears about 1.5gb of storage, and all is good. Then either after a restart of the device, or when it’s idle and not in use, (haven’t figured out which one it is yet, it could be both) the storage goes back down to what it was before executing the commands.
Here is a list of the commands, and from where I found them from:
Debloat FireOS 5.x devices | TechDoctorUK
www.techdoctoruk.com
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.amazon.bueller.music
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.amazon.bueller.photos

You mean non-rooted, isn't it?
If yes, why don't you try the unlock?
If you use some soft flexible copper wire for the short, carefully, with some patience, the risk of a damage is very very low.

how to remove bloatware without root access

In this post i will tell you about how you can uninstall and diasble apps using adb, without root access,
i will be using my brand new poco m3, to show how this works, but it can also, be applied to any other android (phone or skin).
So, lets begin the prerequisites, means what you need to do before hand to be able to use adb successfully,
Download adb and fastboot, on to your machine, if windows use this one :- click here
for linux (debian/ubuntu) :- use command sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
then goto settings and about phone and if you are using MIUI click on miui version till you are a developer appears
and for all other phones click build number till you are a developer appears.
goto developer option and enable usb debugging
after it, on your terminal or cmd, type adb devices, after typing adb devices your phone should prompt you to verify your pc click accept or ok what ever appears in your phone.
after it, here is command to uninstall app using adb,
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name>
and command to disable is,
adb shell pm disable-user <package name>
updating this post with garbage/ bloatware apps in miui 12 poco m3 soon......
update 1 :- oct 23 21:25
here is command to fully uninstall all bloat apps but keep there data in case we need it latter ( you can also delete data by removing -k from command)
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mi.android.globalminusscreen
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.calendar (xiaomi calander)
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.services (facebook == junk)

How To Guide [ADB][No Root] Debloating our phone [guide] [tutorial]

Hi fellows,
I have an European Realme GT Master Edition 6/128GB device.
It comes with RealmeUI 2.0 on Android 11... and a couple of unneeded / unwanted apps.
I have found this guide illuminating.
It was built for another device, so I have been inspired by that and adapted it for our devices.
Here is the list of what I have done:
(use it at your risk, etc, etc, etc...)
Code:

NB: I have removed *gallery* app because it is needed to quickly access photo/video shoot directly from camera App
I'd like to grow up this thread with your contributions, so please let me know issues, suggestions, etc...
EDIT (19th March 2022): removed `com.coloros.oshare` from the list since it is required for sharing feature in their gallery app;
EDIT (13th April 2022): the command `adb shell pm list packages` returns a list of all installed packages;
But I have read that removing the default crap would create issues when installing ota updates?

Good point.
I haven't tested this aspect, since I haven't had any OTA.
Anyway, I have to do three (+1) observations:
this is a safe list, there are no critical item (that is, no OS parts/components or on which OS relies on, they are mostly simple apps)
with major upgrade OTA, probably it will bring updated apps, which in turn will be over-written (if presents) or just installed (if don't, our case)
this method does not (quoting the second point of the cited guide) "[...]physically remove the apps from your system partition."; this means you can easily restore removed apps anytime i.e. just before executing an OTA update
(BONUS) I have done the same work with my previous phone (MIUI-based) and following OTAs have not caused me any issue

if that is true then itll be great.
Great Idea, I would also like to delete the phone clone app. Could you tell me the name of the inerent applications to delete via ADB please?
Thanks

well yes only windows ^^; but i think you can use vm on your mac and put windows and use it if you want to ^^
I have made a little change in the OP app list:
yesterday I noticed the lack of apps when sharing a photo from the share menu from the gallery; re-installing `com.coloros.oshare` immediately fix the issue...
just a little update:
I have just received the notification and installed a system update (11_A.08), thus:
OTA updates work (receive & installation)
None of the removed apps have been re-installed
another little update:
upgrading to Android 12 didn't break the system neither the "upgrading" (OTA) ability; it didn't re-installed (re-enabled) disabled apps
in the meantime, I removed two more apps:
com.oplus.games
com.coloros.systemclone
