Debloat Script for Tecno

DEBLOAT SCRIPT FOR TECNO PHONES

NOTES/REMINDERS
- Check the "POSSIBLY USEFUL FOR YOU" section before proceeding. Comment out any packages you need.
- I have tested all these removals on my Tecno Pova (last Nov 2023). Should have the same bloat on other Tecno models too.
- Note that some apps will auto install after system update. Just run script again.
- Grabbed the other package names from Universal Android Debloater here on Github (I created this script because UAD was lacking 
a lot of packages)

MANUAL COMMANDS
Uninstall app: 
- adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 "<PACKAGE NAME>"
Reinstall app:
- adb shell cmd package install-existing "<PACKAGE NAME>"
