Uninstalling Galaxy S20 Bloatware System Apps with ADB | NOT ROOT

[@onepath2645]

You're the only KZbinr here who shows exactly how to remove apps instead of disabling it.

[@ExplainingAndroid]

Hey! Thanks for the feedback. I will probably do a tutorial on how to disable an app, but yea, most of us want to uninstall the app (even if we can only do it for the current user). This is my prefered method of slimming down an OEM ROM

[@onepath2645]

Android Explained Thank for such a great tutorial for showing how to get rid of useless applications that I was never going to use in my entire life. These apps can be uploaded on play store so can be downloaded if needed instead of forcing consumers with garbage. The only apps only I use are KZbin, WhatsApp & Telegram.. Apart from that they are useless.. So much Google crap is also added on all Android phones

I am a new user to Andriod based phones, and have my first Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5g. My only other experience was with a much more basic Hot Peper Ghost which sadly got broken. The overall [praise for the s20 fe on youtube] seduced me. So I bought it, and was STAGGERED by the MASSIVE seemingly [take over google with our own bloatware samsung tied into this awesum phone!] :o THANK YOU so very much for this. I am still learning android based phones strait from an ancient flip phone! haha! xD I honestly was so overwhelmed as to what to do to simplify/streamline this phone! :x I am pretty tech savvy with windows however. ^^ You are an awesome life saver my friend. Watching this again as we speak. Subscribed! :)

[@armadilopeter]

I almost gave up on the KZbin tutorials, they were so so complicated and my phone is less than two weeks old. But even I could follow your easy instructions, and I finally got rid of that wretched Samsung weather app (and others). Thank you, thank you, thank you so much

Finding this video made me so damn happy. I recently installed a custom ROM into my S7 Edge, and the Galaxy Store scammed me into "updating" a mountain of samsung apps that could not be uninstalled.

After finding this, I may just get the s20+ or ultra. Was really worried about the bog and battery life that seems to come with the overload of bloat that samsung seems to keep increasing. Wonder how much money they get for all this crap that it's worth people moving away from them? Is it fairly easy to put back things if you find you need them?

[@ExplainingAndroid]

it's just a simple 'install-existing' command, just lie you type to remove the app, you just use a different command with the same package name to install it again

Should work a Galaxy S10e right? also anyway to remove the carrier splash screen when the phone boots up?

If you get rid of system apps. Will you get a bootloop when restarting the device? Great video by the way! Thanks in advanced

I don't think it can result in an actual "bootloop" but if you disable an important app then you will get a bunch of force close notifications on the screen. that could result in so many that it's literally unusable without reinstalling those apps. but you can just reinstall those apps with another command. I believe I have included the reinstall command in the full tutorial on my site (linked in the video description) this means you can do trial and error testing to find out what you can uninstall without consequence. but it also means that you should be keeping track (create a list) of everything you uninstall so that you can reinstall it if needed

[@pLeJ6]

Great question, I'd also like to know the answer to this too.

[@autosan]

If I'm not mistaken that's due to the fact that you are restoring from an android image made by samsung, and within the image you have everything the phone needs to make it work related to android, including pre loaded apps. You can load custom roms made by other people and they will probably come with other pre loaded apps defined by the developer. You are saving space on the current Android image running on your phone only. The image to make a reset wasn't altered at all.

Hello, is "Samsung Push Service" safe to uninstall as well? Will it negatively affect the functionality of the phone?

from what I can find, that app is responsible for "sending brand-specific notifications" to the phone. that sounds advertisement related so I would guess that it is safe to uninstall using this method. just make a note of the package name so that if you notice anything out of the odd (maybe it stops you from getting SMS messages or something). you can reinstall it using the install existing command but I doubt it will impact your SMS notifications or anything like that. this seems purely ad related.
