This guide explains how to de-bloat an Android device using adb shell. It is intended for users who cannot unlock their bootloader or gain root access, but still want control over what runs on their phone.
On many modern devices, especially Samsung, system apps cannot be fully removed because the bootloader is locked. This means traditional methods like rooting or flashing modified systems are not available. Instead, this guide uses ADB commands to disable or uninstall apps for the current user, which stops them from running and removes them from the device interface.
The focus is on eliminating unnecessary software, reducing background activity, and limiting telemetry or data collection from preinstalled services.
