How to Uninstall Galaxy S22 Bloatware and System Apps using ADB

thanks so much, will do!

appreciate the kind words! I know how frustrating it can be to have to hunt down those links that people talk about (and often forget)

yea, I don't think you'll want to remove the galaxy store as so many other system apps rely on it for updates

they MAY come back when you install an OTA update. this only happens if the app itself receives a new version in the OTA update, though

hey man, how the vacation going?

what do you mean by 'update apps'

@@ExplainingAndroid the apps that update the phone to the next version of Android. adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.policydm adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.sec.android.soagent adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.sdm adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.sdm.sdmviewer I disabled these on my Verizon Note 9 and it's still runnin strong with great battery life on Android 8.1. I believe the phone operates best and longer on whichever version is came with. I plan to buy an unlocked S22 Ultra.

you definitely can! and you can use an app like LADB to execute the commands directly on the device itself - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6UO5tb_eKxY.html

@@ExplainingAndroid yeah I use ladb

@@ExplainingAndroid I use it for removing cache and to remove apps

@@gn1l262 which apps do you like to remove with adb?

I did a video specifically for this - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iD5weLTzMfo.html

yup! this works on both the Exynos as well as the Snapdragon variant

nothing is "deleted" with this method. it's just uninstalled for the current user. if you factory reset, those apps comes back. you can also execute an ADB command to bring these apps back if you wanted

​@@ExplainingAndroidcan they come back with updates?

​@@kuugoriverNo, they won't come back with updates but if you factory reset the phone, they will be back.

you definitely can. and it shouldn't crash the phone, but you may end up seeing app crash errors if you try to open Bixby through the settings, or with another app. but if you avoid that, then I doubt you'll notice that it's gone I could do a video about this if you think it would be useful

Please do one for Bixby and how it affects modes and routines, bixby vision, etc.

you can IF you have root access. but doing so will not make your internal storage any bigger. the partition those apps are installed to is not accessible when installing things from the Google Play Store

@Explaining Android for me, its not a matter of space. There are Meta and emergency alert apps I want wiped completely off my phone. In the UK, they are testing the emergency alert system next month, your phone will be locked until you acknowledge the alert. No opting out, no say at all. Fuck them I say. I want that carp off my phone

is which app safe to delete?

sadly, bloatware isn't installed on a partition that we can install 3rd-party apps on (from the Google Play Store). so even if you were able to delete them (with root), you can't take advantage of the space. you couldn't install apps to that partition through normal means

you're very welcome, thanks so much for the kind words

Turn it off

look for a samsung galaxy 'manually update' video here on my channel. that should walk you through installing the newest firmware update via Odin (instead of the through the system update process) and should work 100% of the time
