The Android Bloatware Remover Script is a Bash script designed to simplify the process of removing bloatware from Android devices using the Android Debug Bridge (ADB). Bloatware, pre-installed applications that come with the device, can be intrusive and unwanted. This script provides a menu-driven interface to list devices, installed apps, and uninstall specific bloatware based on the device's manufacturer.
- Menu-driven interface for ease of use.
- Options to list connected devices and installed apps.
- Uninstall bloatware associated with major manufacturers (Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Motorola, Samsung, Xiaomi).
Before using the script, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
- Android Debug Bridge (ADB) installed on your computer.
- An Android device connected to the computer with USB debugging enabled.
-
