If I only wanted to degoogle and disable other manufacturer’s bloatware from my Android device, is using adb to “uninstall” the system apps from user 0 pretty much as effective as rooting and using something like debloat terminal while rooted or are there bypasses that make rooting the better option? I’m not concerned about reclaiming the space used by these disabled system apps in this case.
Adb is just as effective as root for just disabling the apps for one user. As you said this won’t free the space fully. Keep in mind you might softbrick your phone by uninstalling something unsafe.
@GravityAce You can also use the #UniversalAndroidDebloater. This makes it easier to get rid of the bloatware: github.com/0x192/universal-and…
Just beware to not delete every single thing on your phone. Learn from my mistake that I accidently uninstall google play services. 90% of my apps didnt work
@JerukPurut404 Yes, if you want to use Google apps, you should leave it on. With the #UniversalAndroidDebloater, there are different levels of how much you want to delete/deactivate. With the first two, it only affects apps that you can easily reinstall if necessary.
