Bloatware Uninstaller

This repository contains Python scripts that automate the uninstallation of bloatware apps on various Android devices using the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) command-line tool.

Supported Brands

• Realme
• Samsung
• Oppo
• Xiaomi
• Vivo
• Tecno

More brands will be added in the future. Stay tuned!

For each supported brand, you will find the following files inside <brand-name> folder:

• <brand>-uninstall.py: The Python script that uninstalls bloatware apps for the specific brand.
• <brand>-bloatware-list.md: The list of package names of bloatware apps for the specific brand.

Prerequisites

Before using the scripts, ensure that you have the following:

• ADB (Android Debug Bridge) installed on your computer.
• USB debugging enabled on your Android device.
• A USB cable to connect your device to the computer.
• Python installed on your computer.

Usage

1. Connect your Android device to your computer using a USB cable.

2. Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where the specific brand's uninstall script is located.

3. Modify the package_names list in the script to include the package names of the bloatware apps you want to uninstall. You can find the package names in the respective <brand>-bloatware-list.md file.

4. Run the script by executing the following command: python <brand>-uninstall.py

The script will iterate through the list of package names and attempt to uninstall each app using the ADB command.

5. Monitor the terminal for the uninstallation progress. The script will print the status of each uninstallation attempt.
