Samsung Android Debloat List

This repo contains the list of apps I uninstalled on my Samsung Galaxy S24+ (SM-S9260) Android 16 One UI 8 device, and other settings, useful commands, etc. Even if you are not using Samsung phone, many parts of this repo still apply. For network connection configurations, which is also important for privacy, refer to my android-privacy-network-connection-configurations repo.

Usage

Use at your own risk. I, as well as all projects mentioned or used in this guide, am not responsible for any data loss, boot loop, bricking, or any other damage caused by following this guide or doing other operations due to or related to the guide. This project is licensed under GPL 3.0. See LICENSE.txt for the legal code.

You can use ADB, on phone via Shizuku or adb pair on Termux or from a computer via Android SDK Platform Tools, or root, or other apps utilizing them, such as a terminal app with rish and rish_shizuku.dex provided by Shizuku, Hail with Shizuku, or Canta with Shizuku, on phone, or Universal Android Debloater Next Generation from a computer, to disable (pm disable --user 0 <package_name>), enable (pm enable --user 0 <package_name>), uninstall (pm uninstall --user 0 <package_name>), and reinstall (for system apps) (pm install-existing --user 0 <package_name>) apps.

Shizuku is an Android app that allows other apps to use system-level APIs that require ADB/root privileges. I recommend using thedjchi's fork fork and manage its installation using Obtainium. Please visit the official wiki and thedjchi's repo for setup, info, troubleshooting steps, etc.

My debloat list and settings recommendations are aimed at

  • increase system performance,
  • decrease battery drain,
  • enhance privacy,
  • enhance security, and
  • save space without breaking the user experience.

The list is provided in five formats:

ADB disable and uninstall commands can be used directly in ADB shell. They assume user 0 by default, which can be changed to other user by changing the number after --user. work profile is typically user 10 or 11. Make changes if you want. Reboot your phone after execution. If any app you disabled/uninstalled is back automatically, disable/uninstall them and reboot again. If they persist, it's probably for a reason and I suggest to leave them there.

Hail format can be used in Hail (com.aistra.hail) from F-Droid to disable apps. The steps are as follows:

  1. Start Shizuku.
  2. Copy the content of hail.txt.
  3. Make changes if you want.
  4. Open Hail, go to Settings > Work mode and select Shizuku - Disable.
  5. Click Allow all the time in Allow Hail to access Shizuku pop-up.
  6. Go to Home, click three dots at the top right corner, click Import app > Import from Clipboard.
  7. Reboot your phone after execution. If any app you disabled is back automatically, disable them and reboot again. If they persist, it's probably for a reason and I suggest to leave them there.

Canta format can be used in Canta (io.github.samolego.canta) from F-Droid to uninstall apps. The steps are as follows:

  1. Start Shizuku.
  2. Copy the content of canta.json.
  3. Make changes if you want.
  4. Open Canta, go to 3 dots > Presets > Import preset > Import from Clipboard.
  5. Click Apply Preset under Samsung Android Debloat List.
  6. Pull down to reload.
  7. Dropdown Selected apps on the top.
  8. Click the trash bin icon at the bottom-right corner.
  9. Click Grant permission to Canta in Shizuku.
  10. Click Allow all the time in Allow Canta to access Shizuku pop-up.
  11. Click Ok.
  12. Reboot your phone after execution. If any app you uninstalled is back automatically, uninstall them and reboot again. If they persist, it's probably for a reason and I suggest to leave them there.

User apps are typically not listed here since it can be disabled/uninstalled normally.

Go to Disabled/Uninstalled for a non-exhaustive list of apps disabled/uninstalled in the list, some of which with my recommended alternatives.

Go to Not Disabled/Uninstalled for a non-exhaustive list of apps not disabled/uninstalled in the list, some of which with my recommended alternatives and/or reasons.

I recommend using Droid-fy (com.looker.droidify) from F-Droid to install apps from F-Droid repositories (hereafter referred to as F-Droid), FFUpdater to install open source browsers, and using Obtainium (dev.imranr.obtainium) to install apps from other sources such as GitHub release. For people who don't login to a Google account in Google Play Store, I recommend using Aurora Store (com.aurora.store) from F-Droid to install apps from Google Play Store.

Samsung text-to-speech engine (com.samsung.SMT), SamsungTTS US English Voice 1 (com.samsung.SMT.lang_en_us_l03), SamsungTTS 简体中文 语音 1 (com.samsung.SMT.lang_zh_cn_l02), SamsungTTS Cantonese Voice 1 (com.samsung.SMT.lang_zh_hk_f00), and SamsungTTS Taiwanese Mandarin Voice 1 (com.samsung.SMT.lang_zh_tw_f00) are disabled/uninstalled in the list. I recommend using SherpaTTS (org.woheller69.ttsengine) from F-Droid or Translator / Offline Translator (dev.davidv.translator) from F-Droid, which can be set in Accessibility > TalkBack > Settings > Text-to-speech > Preferred engine, because they don't collect your data and use Piper or Coqui voices, which I think is of better quality than Speech Recognition and Synthesis from Google (com.google.android.tts) and Samsung text-to-speech engine (com.samsung.SMT). However, pre-installed voices differ across regions. Since they all start with com.samsung.SMT.lang_, you can disable them with the ADB command:

for pkg in $(pm list packages --user 0 | grep 'package:com.samsung.SMT.lang_' | sed 's/^package://'); do
pm disable --user 0 $pkg
done

and uninstall them with the ADB command:

for pkg in $(pm list packages --user 0 | grep 'package:com.samsung.SMT.lang_' | sed 's/^package://'); do
pm uninstall --user 0 $pkg
done

Go to Non-ADB Settings and ADB Settings section for some recommended settings.

Go to my Android-Non-Root for more Android guides and combinedfox for more browser guides.

settings put secure tap_duration_threshold 0.0
settings put secure touch_blocking_period 0.0

Disable screen share protections for apps and notification:

chmod +x adb-settings-rish.sh
./adb-settings-rish.sh

To apply all of them assuming that ADB is connected with adb shell available. Execute adb-settings-adb.sh in this repo:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Willie169/Samsung-Android-Debloat-List/refs/heads/main/adb-settings-adb.sh
chmod +x adb-settings-adb.sh
./adb-settings-adb.sh
