Anyone else having issues with keeping apps running in the background? I have a couple apps (one for doorbell camera and one for outdoor security cameras) that will only stay active for a short time and provide notifications on my phone when motion was detected. I can open one of the apps after not getting any notifications for a long period and then I will get all the notifications that never came through.
I have done all the normal steps of making sure the battery optimization was turned off for these apps and turning off all data restrictions with no luck. I had several go around with TCL support and exhausted their possible solutions. The same doorbell app worked fine on my old Pixel so I am pretty sure it isn't the apps.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I wondered about that. Have you experienced any major issues with the Android 12 beta? I may have to give that a try. Thanks!

I tried the beta 3, but my phone was not listed with the CU regulatory Number, whatever that is. I cant go back to 11 and I dont know if ill be able to go forward. But it did solve the notification issues.
Welcome to XDA
Power management destroyer of worlds
Developer options>standby apps
All buckets should show as active otherwise power management is enabled!
You can't change that setting here. If you can change a bucket state and get it to take (close Developer options/reopen) then again power management has been enabled.

One method I think is working without upgrading to Android 12 is to disable the "Smart Manager" app via adb
You can download sdk platform-tools and run command
adb shell
pm disable-user com.tct.onetouchbooster
You do lose out on accessing some battery options, though, since it's integrated into the app, but I don't mind it. Hope it helps
I have an unlocked T810S that I'm using here in the USA with Cricket Wireless (an AT&T MVNO). My phone has Android 11, and the notification issues are driving me crazy. I don't yet see any updates for Android 12, so who knows when I can get that.
I saw what @rickywangca did, and did something similar. From my Linux box:
Code:
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.tct.onetouchbooster
And that uninstalled the "Smart Manager" application. I'm happy to have that thing gone, but I still have notification issues that I can't figure out.
For the apps in question, I added them to do "do not optimize" battery list, but that didn't seem to help. One app is configured to give me a daily notification, but I almost never receive it. I actually got the notification one day and was surprised.
Any other tips or ideas on dealing with the notification issue? Do I need to clear something else out related to the onetouchbooster "Smart Manager"?

Is global power management active?
Developer options>standby apps, all buckets should show as active otherwise global power management is active. It will cause erratic behaviors. It's not needed or desirable, it never did work well. It can not be disable here though.
Example: how its controls appear on a Samsung N10+ in Device Care, battery, it's usually a little buried but it's there. You'll find something similar to this. It's part of the core Android system.
These settings will cause trouble...

This T810S TCL 20 Pro 5G is an awesome phone, but the lack of notifications drives me crazy.
I looked at my Developer Options, trying to see something similar to what you have on that Samsung, and I see these, which appear to be inactive.
"Adaptive notification priority"
"Adaptive notification ranking"
But when I go to my Inactive Apps list, I see a variety of different "App standby state" values. It appears that I can change some of them here to have the different values of:
"ACTIVE", "WORKING_SET", "FREQUENT", "RARE", "RESTRICTED".
Which value should I choose if I want the app to stay active and send me notifications?
Here's a screen grab of what I see:
Oh how badly I just want to receive notifications from my applications, to make my phone fully functional. I get notifications from certain apps like gmail, telegram and facebook, but not from apps that I want like the LG ThinQ app, and Lightning Pro.

In general...
Power management with the bucket states and all of that is a native Android service. Part of battery management. You can't disable in Developer options but you can tell if it's active there. You can use it to verify that you have disabled though.
Samsung modifies their UI heavily. The settings they use may be similar to other brands, Pixels being the "purest" version of Android. In Pixels the controls for that are in battery care in settings, I think (I never owned a Pixel). Terms like Adaptive battery or Battery saver may be the ones thst switch it on/off. Verity it then with the Standby Apps status.
There is a way to set exceptions to Adaptive battery and that may work too. I never used it or if I did it failed to work properly in one way or another... it's been years. I ended up turning the whole mess off and using other methods to increase my SOT.
The best way to learn how your Android works is to play with it. Go through all the settings and play with them when you have time. Like a game, it's sort of fun. Do Google searches for specific issues; it doesn't have to be that specific model or even brand. Androids are similar across Android flavors and OS versions to a greater or lesser extent. Learn by reading about them. That's all I do and eventually track down the issue. The more you do this, the better and faster you get at it. Find/get the tools you need to better understand what's happening like a logging firewall, battery trackers etc.
I see you have social media and sales apps installed. I never do this. If I need to access them I login to them through Brave browser only.
They tend to consume excessive battery and are multi vector security threats*. They can also cause problems by changing hidden user settings which could have global consequences. You are what you load. At the very least not having any trashware makes troubleshooting easier and yields a better running Android. Disabling the questionable app when not in use is another option I sometimes use if I really need it.
*Just because it's on Playstore doesn't mean it's safe. Any app that updates outside of Playstore could download a trojan payload to what appeared to be a safe app. Any app that has internet access is a potential security threat. I firewall block all that don't absolutely need it and don't update any unless there's a good reason to.

heres the description as in the google play
Cerberus helps you get back your lost or stolen Android device.
Cerberus is a complete anti-theft application, the best protection you can get to recover your misplaced, lost or stolen Android device. This is a free trial for one week, then you can buy a lifetime license for a small price (2.99€) from within the application: no monthly or yearly fees, just a one-time payment. License is associated to your Cerberus account, if you have multiple devices you can use all of them (up to 5) with the same account.
It has three ways to protect your device:
- Remote control through the website www.cerberusapp.com
- Remote control via text messages
- SIM Checker (for devices that have a SIM card): you will automatically receive alerts if someone uses your phone with an unauthorized SIM card
Remote control allows you to perform many operations on your device, like:
- Locate and track it
- Start a loud alarm, even if the device is set to silent mode
- Wipe the internal memory and the SD card
- Hide Cerberus from the app drawer
- Lock the device with a code
- Record audio from the microphone
- Get a list of last calls sent and received
- Get information about network and operator the device is connected to
- And much more!
Cerberus automatically enables GPS if it is off when you try to localize your device (only on Android < 2.3.3) and you can protect it from unauthorized uninstalling - more info in the app configuration.
The app works even if the device does not have an internet connection thanks to remote control by sms messages. Also, the SIM Checker feature allows you to know the new number to send texts to, if the SIM card is changed. Texts received and sent for Cerberus remote control will not start any notification and will not appear in the Messages application.
Cerberus does not drain the battery because there is no background service running: it will activate only if there is a remote control request and will stop afterwards.
More features for rooted devices: complete uninstall protection (a thief will be able to delete Cerberus only by flashing another ROM), GPS auto-enabling even on Android > 2.3.3. More info on the website in the Help section.
If you already bought SIM Checker Pro you can have Cerberus at a discounted price, contact us for information.
Have any questions, issues or feature requests? Contact us at [email protected] and we'll be glad to answer!

I really loved this on my S2 when I was on Gingerbread, but since upgrading to ICS, it's not worked at all.
It doesn't take pictures on the wrong lock-screen pattern passwords anymore. I've tried reinstalling, and reactivating, but no joy. I'm on 4.0.3, does anyone have any ideas why this is?

This is the first anti-theft that's actually done everything it says it would do for me. Works great on ICS AOKP here and I gladly bought it and recommended it to several other people who did so as well. Great app.
+1
this is the best anti theft app I've used.
My current rom is CM9 (2012-04-11 nightly) and it works perfect. It also worked on Sammy's ICS roms.
I've used phone locator also, which just didn't do what it says it does...
Worth every penny!

if your phone is rooted then this app will have su rights so you cant delete or uninstall a app which is devices admin in android.....the app will remain as a system which can only be deleted if anyone formats the system and installs a new rom
Then will need to root my phone first, could you provide the link for the same.

You just flash a new rom in airplane mode and the phone can be used normally.
if you flash it through cwm, it cannot be uninstalled. also, since the app can be fully hidden, most people would not even suspect the app to be installed. and how many people do you think are capable of flashing another rom and fully wiping the phone?
most regular phone users don't even update their phone through kies and people who get their hand on the phone and have no idea about android at all certainly would never get the idea.
they would be too stupid to get over pattern lock in the first place, and by then, you will have their picture, their location and have sound recorded of them, which should be enough for the police to get your phone back.
for the meantime lock the device down completely and/or wipe it and even if the device is not connected to the internet, just with gsm signal you can still fully control it through sms. if you are still not able to get it back, get the imei blocked and the phone will be useless to any thief.
in any way, i love cerberus and never felt safer with my sgs2.
AVIRA!!!!
Hi all,
AVIRA for Android is available on Market and this version is not an antivirus but it has phone locator, screaming feature, remote wipe etc etc
....and it doesn't drain the battery!!!!
bye bye
This is my all inclusive guide on how to get the most out of your battery without sacrificing functionality. Specially tailored for the i747.
WARNING: I ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.
!!!NANDROID BACKUP!!!
This guide assumes that you're running Cyanogenmod 11 or a custom ROM based on it. It is organized from most practical and user friendly, to more technical and intensive.
The first manner of business is to upload to the latest bootloader/modem, which can be found here: http://invisiblek.org/d2firmware.html
This provides the most stability/support for the latest CM Nightlies.
Simply download the .zip and flash it in your recovery of choice.
Go into "Settings" > "Apps" and delete any apps you don't use anymore.
Go into all apps you DO use, and make sure "Location" and "Notification" settings are either OFF or on according to if you need them or not.
Disable "syncing" in weather apps, news apps, and any other apps that have background syncing enabled.
Disable "WiFi" when not in use.
Disable "Data" when not in use.
Disable "Location" when not in use. (THIS INCLUDES LOCATION REPORTING.)
Disable "Bluetooth" when not in use.
Disable "NFC" when not in use.
Disable "Automatic Backlight"
Manually set brightness to lowest setting.
Set Screen Timeout to 1 minute or less.
Disable "Sync" when not necessary.
Disable "Auto Rotation" when not necessary.
Disable all haptic/sound feedback under "Sound."
Go into "WiFi" settings, press your menu key, and press "Advanced." Be sure that "Scanning always available" is unchecked.
CHARGE YOUR PHONE WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
Download "Greenify" from the Play Store, open it up, and start hibernating every app you don't depend on. DO NOT HIBERNATE MESSAGING APPS.
I personally hibernated every non-system app I had excluding "Google Keyboard."
You have a special feature called "App Ops under your "Privacy" settings.
Press "Privacy Guard." You'll be presented with a list of apps. These apps can be "secured" with a click. Simply press and app you don't want accessing your location settings, and the little grey lock to the right of the app will become white. This will disable the app from using location services.
Third, open up your apps list under Settings > Apps > "All" tab. Cyanogenmod has many apps that the typical user doesn't want/need, and that take up precious RAM and CPU cycles.
You can disable system apps by clicking on them, and then "Disable."
Apps that can be safely disabled include:
Android Keyboard – REPLACE WITH GOOGLE KEYBOARD
Android Live Wallpapers
Basic Daydreams
Black Hole
Browser – REPLACE WITH CHROME BETA
Bubbles
CM Updater
CM Wallpapers
com.android.wallpaper.holospiral
Downloads
Email – Up to you.
Exchange Services – Safe to disable only if you disable Email
Face Unlock
Gallery – REPLACE WITH QUICKPIC
Google Backup Transport – ONLY IF YOU DON'T USE GOOGLE BACKUP
Google One Time Init
Google Partner Setup
Google Text-to-speech Engine – AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION
Magic Smoke Wallpapers
Market Feedback Agent – DISABLES... MARKET FEEDBACK...
Movie Studio
Music Visualization Wallpapers
Phase Beam
Photo Screensavers
Pico TTS - AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION
Setup Wizard
Tags - ???
Terminal Emulator
Themes provider – STUCK W/ DEFAULT THEME
Voice Dialer
I have disabled all of these apps and had no ill consequence. I haven't gone as far as uninstalling them, but you may if you wish.
Download KT's latest kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756776
Flash in recovery. Be sure to wipe Cache and Dalvik before and after!
WHAT YOU DECIDE TO DO WITH THIS KERNEL IS UP TO YOU. YMMV.
Open KTweaker app.
Set governor to "pegasusq" - This is a more conservative governor, and also allows hotplugging.
Undervolt CPU by 75 mV across the board. - YMMV.
Undervolt GPU by 50 mV across the board. - YMMV.
Set GPU Governor to "simple."
Set "Set options on boot" to set with a 20 second delay. (In case something goes awry.)
Reboot.
ETC. TIPS:
- Get any widgets you don't use off your Launcher. They eat battery too.
- Don't use custom launchers with riced out animations. This tears up your GPU, and your battery life will suffer as a result.
- Turn off "Mock Location" in Developer Options.
- DO NOT USE TASK KILLERS!!!
- Disable "Automatic home clock" in the stock "Clock" app.
- Use ART!
- Turn off roaming!
I'm sure I'm forgetting something. I'll update this if I remember anything. Let me know if this has helped you at all. Feel free to add any tips as you see fit.
Give me a thanks if I've helped you out!
Pretty good if I say so myself.
Never disabled LTE.

But the tips are all about disabling services?
I kid, this is a pretty neat start for people experiencing battery issues. I generally recommend also getting a new battery - the Ankers 2200mAh one is legit.

Yeeeah. I wrote the title before I got started haha. They're all optional, of course. Not many people will miss having a random app in their RAM (Greenify solution.) Or disabling location reporting (I hate location reporting.) Or even undervolting, or getting rid of random CRapps.
I did have that Anker battery, but it bloated on me. It was nice while it lasted, though. (About 3 months.)

Mine has lasted 6 months so far, strange. I replaced the stock battery after it stopped holding a charge within the first 8 months of ownership.
Also, on the topic of Greenify, when I used to have it, I found it was draining almost as much battery as the things it was hibernating, since it spent every waking moment shutting the other things off. Have you found that to be the case at all?

My case may have been user error. It isn't rated to take as quick a charge as the stock battery. I was using a 1A 5V power box. I believe it called for a .7A 5V current.
I have; in the case of my keyboard, and Facebook, as well as Google Play services back when I tried out making it a user app. I got rid of the Facebook app and use the mobile site. It works just as well.

I don't have FBApp notifications on, ever. I used it mostly for the interface and the seamless photo upload via Wi-Fi.
But since I started using Quantum, the battery has been significantly better. If the Facebook app becomes stupid enough with the battery, however, might just follow your lead there.

The problem isn't the notifications, it's the services that the app has that run, even if you have notifications, sync, and background services turned off. I hated it.
I used to use Quantum, back when CM 11 didn't have official nightlies. Great ROM and Dev; not bleeding edge enough for me, though.

That's fair, I just started using it last week, because PA3.99 was crapping out in all kinds of fun ways, and I didn't feel like using SlimKat again. I'm trying out ART now, to see how that affects my battery.

It shouldn't be a massive gain, but definitely more fluid and a bit more quick, which let's you get stuff done faster, and the faster you get stuff done, the less time you use the screen, and that takes load off the battery.

it's a bad idea to suggest charging your phone whenever possible... it'll kill the battery imo

Full cycles like that kill the battery just as fast, if not faster. This is a battery life thread.

Tell me when you're going to use GPS, Bluetooth, and NFC at the same time.
Are you getting directions to McDonalds while you talk to your business client on your Bluetooth headset and paying for your burger with your phone? I didn't think so.
And Sync? Do it manually. What functionality is being lost that can't be toggled in quick settings in half a second? Are you removing any apks, or shutting down any services that wouldn't benefit you again in a couple of clicks?
You're not sacrificing functionality, you're using common sense. Try it sometime.

I use GPS frequently because I use Google Now for commuting, sports, among other interesting tidbits that come up. I also have a Pebble smartwatch that uses Bluetooth. I have no idea why you bother toggling NFC since its only on when the tag triggers it.
And sync is a critical part of my phone as I work in IT and expect hangouts messages or emails at all times of the day. Both my work, friends, and school use technologies that rely on sync, and some of them are time sensitive.
If you don't want to use the features of a smartphone, use common sense and don't buy one. Sorry I don't find your "turn literally every smartphone feature off" guide useful.
Tell me, what exactly do you use your smartphone for?

At the moment, I'm using it to reply to you, and that doesn't require many things to be toggled on at all. I use it to find directions when I need it (I'll turn location on when I need it), to text, call, and do some web surfing and email.
You seemed to have failed to read the rest of the OP, as well. Undervolting? Destroying wakelocks? Custom kernels? ART?
Not everyone is as tied to their phone as you are. This is meant for people like me, who seemed to struggle to make a full day's charge and couldn't seem to for some reason.

Pros: You can almost get it looking like stock android (which is why i'm keeping it), Notification layout is nice.
Cons: Battery dies faster, Widgets/Apps Tray layouts are useless for me. Recent apps layout is worse.

Tried it......for 5 minutes i prefer being able to use samsung themes like 'blue and black AMOLED' theme. Good Lock does not have a black option in routine options
Hmm . I like it more. Haven't had any battery is issues yet.
Only issue i encountered is it doesnt easily explain Uninstall.
1. You can just drag drop the Icon from the AD to uninstall and
2. You cannot find the app in Applications to Uninstall
3. You have to go to settings and uninstall from there.
4. Once you uninstall, remember to Restart your device as soon as possible.
5. If not restarted, your power button would stop working and the only way to get it back is by a Hard Reboot (Power + Volume Down).
Hope this helps people looking in to this.
Other than that, had no Battery Drain Issues and it worked fluidly. Did find the "Ignore Repetitive Notification" that I dismiss without looking in messages Annoying and sadly, if by mistake I did say so for specific ones (Work Email and Whatsapp), it stopped showing the message notification all together.

Sorry, forgot the * on that. It was mostly visual. Coming from the S6e, the S7e is substantially better due to the much bigger battery, but with a Wireless charger at work, didn't see "major" drain issues.
Although, when the Power Button stopped working yesterday, I almost called Tmo and thought of returning before the Hardboot fix, as this is a System UI App.
Just wondering, did you have AOD on? I did have that off. Doubt it would make a difference, but the Good Lock is a Lock Screen, and since my Nexus 1 days, I remember them always being a Drain.
They just posted a new version and they took care of most of original people complaints, the only thing missing for me right now is the Quick Connect feature that it seems that the only way to get access to it is via Original Notification shade. If the fix this, for me will be a keeper, for sure, I've been keeping it expecting for an update and now I can say that they are 90% where they should be with this.
In general, a very good update.

I use this as well for my Samsung 4K TV! I actually find myself using it more and more lately. I've run around the house a lot while watching a program and being able to send it to my phone to view while I'm in another room is great! I recently was watching a friend playing a game on his TV, I did a quick connect while I was sitting on his patio with another friend, and was able to keep up with the story-line while on his patio. What's weird is that I didn't get any lag using quick connect but when I tried a simple screen mirror i got lag as well as quality downgrade that was very noticeable.
This is the only problem I've been having so far with Good Lock. That and the horrible app switcher..
For me I would like them to add a private mode toggle.

That's weird. I just updated to the latest version and it's been really smooth with no issues that was there with the previous releases. Maybe try the typical uninstall reboot reinstall? Or if you disabled some apps that could be causing some instability.

Yeah, I installed the first version of Good Lock and it was fine. Uninstalled it shortly after until the next update.
There is no way to uninstall the app from the Galaxy Apps store; the only option is to update it. My Apps does not show Good Lock as installed. I've tried clearing cache, re-enabling all my disabled apps, rebooting several times without much success. I am not the only apparently as several others are having the issue and posting about it on reddit. Hopefully this can be fixed with an update. Don't really want to factory reset to get Good Lock working.
I have no issues uninstalling from my device. I just go to the app drawer tap on the icon and it gives me the option to uninstall. I see what you mean by not being able to delete from Galaxy Apps though

I tried it. So far, I see the huge improvement in battery. The phone seems to sleep now. I think the biggest thing for me was starting fresh. I wrote down all the programs I had and manually started from scratch, instead of restoring my backup (From a Nexus 6p.) Also, when I disabled programs, I only disabled the ATT stuff. I actually left all the Samsung stuff in, unless there was a duplicate Google app (Like Clock, Calendar etc.) I'll give it a couple days, but so far it's been a huge improvement for me.
I have heard that you don't have to factory reset to turn off the reporting. I recall someone mentioning it under the Google and Samsung settings, but I wasn't able to find it.

I agree with most of the points in OP's link.
I personally do not like the idea to disable cool features that sells the phone, like the Always On feature for instance. If I have to disable the whole thing I might as well just go back to iPhone 6 plus.
- Disabling packages for me drains battery more unfortunately, I tested this twice. Now I just disabled apps. Battery life is better this way.
- This helps tremendously in my case is to not use PUSH for email. I have 5 active accounts, only one uses PUSH, the others use Fetch every 15/30 mins. My favorite email app is CloudMagic, I like them for their cleanest UI, unfortunately they don't support Fetch, so I went back to Samsung Email (I'm not a big fan of Type App either)

Those slick bastards either changed it or moved it. It is exactly right there in that menu on the S7E.
There are other areas within the settings that also have options to turn usage statistics off. Both Google and Samsung has background reporting. I don't know my way around the Note menu since I don't have the phone so the only way I know to opt out is to do a factory reset and do it during the device set up.

Multiple people including myself had Android System usage go down to a decent percentage after following these steps. Some of us were around 50% Android usage and that dropped down to around 10-15%.
Also not using Google Now with location set to on helps a lot with Android System usage.

***Works on ONE UI 4, 4.1 and 5 for all versions of s20, s21 and s22 (now works on S22U too)***
Due to some bad optimizations by Samsung , we are facing a lot of battery issues and a couple of random lags. With this script, I have got something between 7h and 9h of SOT.
In a few tests in Brasil, the users are getting a much better battery life. This script have some things like:
=> Removing items that can sometimes be undesirable according to the user, so you can select wich services will be disabled, such as bixby, AR camera features, microsoft apps, google apps (not the main like gmail and photos, but the secondary ones like bookmar provider, docs), ANT (there are people who don't even know what it is so this is usually useless here in Brazil).
=> Disable the Camera Light Sensor which is a bug on One UI 4.0 and 4.1, galaxy S have a light sensor to calculate the automatic brightness, however, since One UI 4.0 it ends up using the front camera for this, annihilating the screen time of the device. When camera light sensor are disbled, the device will properly use the dedicated light sensor and the automatic brightness be more responsive and battery friendly.
=> Enable the option to disable Ram Plus, where the 0GB option will appear in the options above 2GB, which you can disable if you want (Recomended only on ONE UI 4, because One UI5 comes with disable RAM Plus option available) .
Throughout the script, it will ask which item you want to be removed, so if you use DEX, just answer "n" when it asks if you want to remove it.
Resetting the device to factory defaults will completely reverse everything the script does, so it is not permanent and does not void your device's warranty.
The procedure is simple:
In your cellphone:
1 - Enable Developer options and USB Debug:
Go to Settings > About Phone > Software Information click on "build number" several times until it appears that developer mode is enabled.
2 - Now go to Settings > Developer Options and click enable right at the top of the page and look for the USB Debugging option and enable it too.
3 - Connect your phone to the computer and if a window appears asking for permission, grant it (you will be granting permission for your computer to access your phone in developer mode. If it doesn't appear now, no problem, this window may appear later when we run the script, but it usually appears right here.
On your PC:
4 - Download the script:
ONE UI 4 and 5: Debloat and optimize Galaxy S20 S21 AND S22 for ONE UI 4-5
5 - Extract it and run the "debloat and optimize" file (perhaps at that time the aforementioned window will appear on the cell phone asking for permission).
The script will guide you asking for all possible options which are 10:
Remove Microsoft apps?(You can reinstall the app later from the playstore)[Y/N]?
Remove Netflix?(You can reinstall the app later from playstore)[Y/N]?
Remove Facebook?(You can reinstall the app later from playstore)[Y/N]?
Remove Google Apps?(You can reinstall the app later from playstore)[Y/N]?
Remove DEX?(You will no longer have the DEX function)[Y/N]?
Remove ANT?(If you don't know what it is, you can remove it without fear)[Y/N]?
Remove Bixby?(You will still have the bixby routines, but no longer the voice assistant)[Y/N]?
Remove Augmented Reality Functions from Camera?(You will no longer have AR Sticker in Camera)[Y/N]?
Apply adaptive brightness correction? (by disabling the camera light sensor, improving auto brightness response and increasing battery life)[Y/N]?
Enable Ram Plus extra options? (enable options to increase or disable Ram Plus in Settings, Device and Battery Support, Memory) [Y/N]?
6 - When it finishes, the phone will restart. All options can somehow be reversed by downloading the apps from the Play Store again, except for DEX, Bixby and Sticker AR mode, but which can be reversed with another script that I'm still building or resetting your device to factory defaults.
Any doubt I will be available
My personal options are: ONE UI 4 - Y for all except dex (because I use dex, if you won't use, you can safe remove)
ONE UI 5: Y for all except Dex
After the script you can safe reinstall some apps back like Facebook and Google from Playstore, but now this will comes without Samsung bloatware.
Edit1: the link are updated to a new version fixing one hand mode
Edit2: release of a version to apply on ONE UI5.
Edit3: Unifying One UI 4 and 5 scripts, added new options for Game Launcher, ledcover and Wellbeing, doesn't disable Android Auto anymore, and added fix for media provider Bug in all S21 series.
and finaly the link to rollback the script: Rebloat ONE UI 4.1+ (works on ONE UI 5 too)

Throughout the script, it will ask which item you want to be removed, so if you use DEX, just answer "n" when it asks if you want to remove it.
Resetting the device to factory defaults will completely reverse everything the script does, so it is not permanent and does not void your device's warranty. If you want, there are a Revert back script too.
The procedure is simple:
In your cellphone:
1 - Enable Developer options and USB Debug:
Go to Settings > About Phone > Software Information click on "build number" several times until it appears that developer mode is enabled.
2 - Now go to Settings > Developer Options and click enable right at the top of the page and look for the USB Debugging option and enable it too.
3 - Connect your phone to the computer and if a window appears asking for permission, grant it (you will be granting permission for your computer to access your phone in developer mode. If it doesn't appear now, no problem, this window may appear later when we run the script, but it usually appears right here.
On your PC:
4 - Download the script:
ONE UI 4.1+: Debloat and optimize Galaxy S20 S21 AND S22 except S22U v2
ONE UI 5: Debloat and optimize Galaxy S20 S21 AND S22 for ONE UI 5
5 - Extract it and run the "debloat and optimize" file (perhaps at that time the aforementioned window will appear on the cell phone asking for permission).
The script will guide you asking for all possible options which are 10:
Remove Microsoft apps?(You can reinstall the app later from the playstore)[Y/N]?
Remove Netflix?(You can reinstall the app later from playstore)[Y/N]?
Remove Facebook?(You can reinstall the app later from playstore)[Y/N]?
Remove Google Apps?(You can reinstall the app later from playstore)[Y/N]?
Remove DEX?(You will no longer have the DEX function)[Y/N]?
Remove ANT?(If you don't know what it is, you can remove it without fear)[Y/N]?
Remove Bixby?(You will still have the bixby routines, but no longer the voice assistant)[Y/N]?
Remove Augmented Reality Functions from Camera?(You will no longer have AR Sticker in Camera)[Y/N]?
Apply adaptive brightness correction? (by disabling the camera light sensor, improving auto brightness response and increasing battery life)[Y/N]?
Enable Ram Plus extra options? (enable options to increase or disable Ram Plus in Settings, Device and Battery Support, Memory) [Y/N]?
6 - When it finishes, the phone will restart. All options can somehow be reversed by downloading the apps from the Play Store again, except for DEX, Bixby and Sticker AR mode, but which can be reversed with another script that I'm still building or resetting your device to factory defaults.
Any doubt I will be available
My personal options are: ONE UI 4 - Y for all except dex (because I use dex, if you won't use, you can safe remove)
ONE UI 5: Y for all except Dex
After the script you can safe reinstall some apps back like Facebook and Google from Playstore, but now this will comes without Samsung bloatware.
Edit1: the link are updated to a new version fixing one hand mode
Edit2: release of a version to apply on ONE UI5.
and finaly the link to rollback the script: Rebloat ONE UI 4.1+ and 5 (works on ONE UI 5 too)

I can't see any difference with battery life on my s21 fe after debloating by your guide. At least it didn't go wrong either.
Hi. I can't run the script for s21 with OneUI 5. the grant permission window doesn't appear. No window after connection and after runnig script too. But another version of ADB (from minimal ADB tool) on my PC is working and permission window is appearing when it is need. It seems your ADB version have some modifications. How can i run this script with another working ADB on my PC. I've tried and cleared "Revoke USB debugging authorisations" too. But no changes. Thanks for any help.
UPD: it is working on another PC. Thanks!!

Are you using A12 or A13? Ifound a new bug on One Ui 5 and I will add to script. This bug are happening with android media provider, this make device never deep sleep. If you want try, you can run again and select "n" for all, the scrip will fix media provider bug.

I'm on Android 13. You mean to run the same script and press "N" in all cases ? Or there is a refreshed link in the first post ?
Hi! The native messaging app is no longer notifying me when I receive an SMS. I'm on Android 12. Any suggestions? Thank you very much! =D

I did updated the file for One UI 5. You can download it again and run. I have suggested "n" for all because this skip direct for optimization lines (only for not override your previous selected options). On this version, you will get at the end one message like: "S21 variant detected". If this message appears, the proper code for fix media provider are executed well.

Open message app. Go to settings -> notifications. Check if "allow notifications" are toggled. if yes and still no receiving notifications, on this same path, go to "notifications categories" and check if all your categories have notifications allowed.

I did everything correctly, but there is no message like you say should be. I did it twice just to be sure. Look at the screenshot below. Everything seems fine to me.

Yep. Thanks for your feedback. With your screenshot I found the bug. I will fix in a couple of hours, but if you want to try you can fix it in one of two ways:
1- the easyest way: right click on .bat file, search G991 and change to G990, save and run again.
OR
if you know about adb, you will run "adb shell dumpsys deviceidle whitelist +com.google.android.providers.media.module" (without quotes)

Thanks man! The problem was here. Sorry my "noob" ;-)
Worked on S21 FE
Thanks
It looks like battery really lasts longer. However. I noticed that I am missing digital wellbeing and game launcher.
I assume that script deleted them? Does reverse script returns them? And if it does should I?

I'm uploading the new version with this two packages selectables (you dont need run it). To restore this two disabled packages (wellbeing and game launcher) you need run this scripts:
Wellbeing reenable:
Digital Wellbeing reenable.zip
drive.google.com
Game Launcher reenable: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12lzbApvl66zlEMSlWhveVx3rh88wCE2U/view?usp=share_link
PS: thanks for your feedback
