Hello everyone,
Hope you all good,
First of all, I want to clarify that this is a list with everything that people can remove, it is up to you to choose what to remove from the watch 4, you don't need to remove all apps...
Debloat Galaxy Watch 41. Enable developers mode (skip if it's on):
On the galaxy watch 4,
go to settings -> information about the clock -> software -> click on software version until you see the written developer mode activated...
2. Enabling ADB:
On the galaxy watch 4,
go to developer options and enable adb debugging and debugging via wifi, go back and connect your computer and watch 4 to the same connection...
Now on watch 4 go to wifi settings click on the connection to which it is connected scroll to the bottom and look at the ip address, write it down...
3. Running ADB:
On the computer open adb minimal and write: adb connect (your ip address) and then write: adb shell done this you can choose which apps to keep and which to remove...
This is simply a list of all the things you can remove

Normally it is uninstalled directly via the application menu of samsung wearable
Just got my watch today. Charging it now.
I have debloated all my wear os watches in the past, going to do the same to this one.
Are you all seeing good bit of battery life increase, fluidity or anything major disabling these apps?
I went in and re-installed the system apps that I had uninstalled, and instead just disabled them. I want to try and slim down this watch and make it as non samsung-y as I can.
I would love to remove this crapware. The problem is that while I've enabled ADB Debugging, I cannot toggle "Debug over WiFI" even though I'm connected to the same network. Any thoughts, folks?

Thanks for responding. I don't actually get an error. It's almost like it's grayed out. I touch it like any other toggle that works, but nada happens.

I think it's a PEBUAW issue. Problem exists between user and watch. It's automatically turned on when I turn on Debugging.

Is the watch connected currently to the same network? It a different subnet or anything like that?
I have seen this in the past before.
If you remove com.samsung.android.bixby.agent are you still able to use your voice to reply to messages or just use voice dictation in general?

Haha. I understand that issue. I've seen certain networks cause issues with the device being able to be connected via adb.

Do you have the code to enter to delete cute character watchface? I tried a few different combinations based on guessing with no luck. That one is terrible lol.

Prerequisites
- ADB
- Your phone
How To
- Connect phone to computer
- Download Package List
- Open Package List and find an app ID you want to uninstall
- Type these commands
Code:
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package id>
So to uninstall the Samsung Keyboard, the command would be this:
Code:
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user -0 com.sec.android.inputmethod
If you have any questions, please comment and I will try to help you when I get time. Please enjoy! :good:
Thank you
Awesome tutorial man, thanks! Can't wait to give it a swing when I drop by my terminal.
Another tutorial available here with pictures: https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
So this works with things like Excel and Powerpoint that Samsung stick on there themselves? Now that would be useful.

Thanks for the link! I just wanted to alert this community in case they didn't know, since Samsung really loads their phone with junk.
Worked like a charm
Bye bye package disabler ??
You don't even really need ADB. You can just use adhell or Package Disabler.

This method uninstalls it entirely instead of disabling the APKs
Edit: was corrected. It technically disables the package if it's a system app. As far as the system is concerned you're uninstalling the apk from "your user", although it will persist in /system as well as it's data.
Great!!!
Is there an authoritative list of what stuff is safe to get rid of? Gotta get more careful with uninstalls
So if I installed the next update for my S8, I assume it would redownload the app that I uninstalled?

im thinking of removing youtube and install the one with ads....has anyone tried this yet and experience a new firmware upgrade?
Does removing the app also free up storage? I am still able to see storage size for removed apps under app settings. Can someone clarify?

This thread is only intended for pro users. If you have not de-bloated, or unsure on the procedure or side-effects, please stop right now. I am no way responsible for any loss of data that might occur due to the below procedure.
I have personally tested de-bloat of below APPS (bloat). Before you proceed, please install launcher such as Nova or such since I am removing Poco launcher that is installed by default.
1. You will need to install Minimal ADB fastboot 1.4.3 (available on XDA)
2. Shift + Right-click on the folder and open powershell windows/open command prompt
3. In your phone, go to about phone and click 10 times on MIUI version (For POCO)
4. You will be granted developer permission
5. Go to settings -> additional settings -> developer options and enable "USB Debugging"
6. Connect phone to Laptop
7. In powershell or CMD prompt that is open, type "adb device"
8. In your phone, you will have a popup window and click "OK"

Very strange, I got the phone on the first day of sale at launch in India as did u i believe.
It seems the roms are different.
My security patch is June whereas urs is july.
My version is 9.6.11 and urs is 9.6.14 something
Even kernel seems to be different.

It could be that packaging dates are different. You can go and manually check for update, and I believe you should get the latest update.

I am not using my POCO right now, especially with a locked bootloader. I tried un-locking bootloader, and it said 720 hour wait (30 days). I have applied for beta testing on MIUI forum, and hopefully they send me a confirmation for unlock within a week.
Do you think any of these services would effect bootloader unlocking process like Mi account getting detached from phone?
Thanks so much, miui has so many bloated Just waiting for a new rom!
Would be better to mention that you're deleting the SMS app and the ability to do a Factory Reset as well ...

Which app handles the Factory reset ?
Thanks for this. These tested results speeded up the process obviously. You can add whetstone(Xiaomi RAM management - not needed because android can take care), MSA(Xiaomi Ads), MIUI daemon(I donno the exact purpose but didn't cause any bootloop), MIUI security components (Guard provider), WM service, TelemetryJservice(Qualcomm Telemetry), Google Feedback.
2 things I did not remove are, MIUI account and Find device. Rest all the apps have alternatives such as google messages, firefox etc. etc.
If i want to undo / unremove these bloatware, what is the instruction? Can update miui can re appear these bloatware? Thanks
executing these commands ...mi account removed...now cant bind mi account with my device ...so how to unlock bootloader....can we rollback these changes
If i want only disable / enable these bloatware, how is the instruction? Very thanks..

Really a bluetooth issue? Can anybody else conform this? If you guys are pro, knows what you are doing then use this method else use Debloat tool also works for non-root user, this tool will remove apps which are safe to be uninstall. Follow here under link if you are interested in Debloat tool http://en.miui.com/thread-3620390-1-1.html
HELLO EVERYONE!!! THIS GUIDE IS AVAILABLE ALL OVER XDA BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD POST IT HERE.
Basically, If you are like me, you like a nice clean debloated stock ROM, but I was too late to the party, and missed the date for bootloader unlocking (and root!)
But....all is not lost, we cannot use Titanium Backup Etc to freeze or remove system apps, because we have no root access.....
But there is a way to remove system apps without root, the commands given later will remove whatever program you want gone.
This procedure is at your own risk, make backups, it should work on most androids (Tested on Honor 10, Honor 9 Lite, Xperia XA1 and a Moto G6 Play) - Please dont moan at me if your phone explodes, makes weird noises, or kills you during the night - All the commands below will get rid of a LOT of stuff! Mine and 10 others who used this have suffered no problems at all.
What you Need :
1 x Honor 10
1 x USB Lead
ADB and Drivers installed properly on your PC
(Easiest thing to do is download and install Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 )
**Before you start, the apps option in your phone setting allows you to uninstall many programs, so uninstall away, some items just say 'disable' or nothing at all - these are the programs we are interested in **
follow the instructions on that thread how to install program properly.
Now on your phone, Enable USB Debugging (search XDA how to do this if you dont know)
open the command window (also known as CMD)
type in ADB DEVICES - if all your drivers etc all installed properly, then the message should read XXXXXXXXX (where the XXXXXXXXXXXs is your phone ID, and it will say device, if it says unauthorized, you may see a pop up on your phone screen, click allow, and run ADB devices, it should no longer say unauthorized
if you have nothing there, please install all drivers for your phone, search the forums on how to install drivers
now, type in ADB SHELL
my phone now says : HWCOL:/ $ and now allows me to enter the items that i need to debloat, you can get a list of app names by typing the command pm list packages
this will now list packages on your phone i.e
package:com.huawei.hifolder and the rest of your installed stuff
now you can enter these commands one by one, or CUT the commands and PASTE in your CMD window, after every command, it will say 'Success' but occasionally you will get error 'Failure [not installed for 0]' - this is because the app is not installed on your phone, dont worry about this.....
These commands will delete several Huawei items (some you might need, but in the interest of debloating, im including it), it will also debloat the extra included system apps (theres some facebook bloat, some other little programs, and a lot of google bloat - this will debloat a lot of it, and keep your phone lean and clean!)
Again, before doing this, read up about the programs installed on your phone, you may want a system app kept.....just choose which command you dont want to do.....) SO LETS GET TO IT

My phone is rooted and i tried to uninstall some system apps using TB.
Some apps could be removed but for some i got "apk not found".
I wasn't able to uninstall that translator app, so i would like to know if pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.microsoft.translator is working.
Yes it will work

Use the app on the play store app inspector to get package names
Used the whole list, I can't use my SIM card anymore. You add too many "useful" apps in your list I'll customized it
Thanks for the base
I deleted the systemmanager what will remove the "battery" section in settings.
Didn't recognize any other impact just fyi

There is one : it destroy recent apps task killer. And I don't know why but it delays some system message.
Only happen to me after deleting system manager
Do you know if it works to remove demos apps (like the apps installed on a phone when it's for presentation in stores) and if yes which command ?
Edit: Realised that i can't even use USB debugging...
would I still be able to receive ota updates?
also, for a conservative approach, which programs would you recommend keeping ( from the list )?
Can we still use it now?
I'm running latest 8.1 because i got no 9.0 yet...

Before uninstall them, try to disable them instead to see if it causes issues, then you can disable them afterwards if everything is OK.

Nope, that why ADB is great, because you can disable them with almost the same command provided by @pvillasuso by using "pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.wakeup", etc, instead. ^^
If you want to avoid the hassle of ADB, you can buy CCSWE or Package Disabler Pro (but on their website because it often got down on the PlayStore and have to repurchase).
Every new phones come with its own list of useless bloated apps. You may root the phone and then, delete those apps but if you can't root or don't want to, you can also use ADB to remove them. They will still be in system folder but they won't run anymore. Here's a guide on how to use ADB Shell: How to Uninstall Carrier/OEM Bloatware Without Root Access (xda-developers.com) and here's my list of apps you can uninstall from the Velvet without any ill effects.

Thanks for posting this! The list of apps changes a little with each LG iteration, and it's great to have a safe debloat list specific to the velvet.
Ok, so I kinda screwed up and did this before I set up everything. Now I can't change my phone's accent colour. Any ideas which package I need to re-add to fix that?
Edit: I discovered this after hard resetting my phone, but apparently one of these is now connected to the touch digitizer after last night's update.

Due to time constraints, I haven't fully narrowed it down. But I believe it's a combination of LG's theming system and LG World. But I could be wrong.
Edit: I guess I'm wrong. I just removed
Code:
com.facebook.system
com.facebook.services
com.facebook.appmanager
com.lge.gametuner
com.lge.gamepad
com.lge.gamelauncher
and the issue still exists. Now I'm stumped and have to hard reset again.

Hard reset? I can't get mine to reboot into recovery. Vol down and Power?
I figured it out. Thanks
Something on that first list breaks Android 11. If you restart it hangs after the LG boot screen and nothing happens. You can restart and nothing else and have to reboot into recovery and factory reset to get it sorted.

I appears to be com.lge.gametuner causing the boot issue. I disabled it instead using the command "adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.lge.gametuner". No issues so far, and it has remained disabled after several resets. Will keep an eye on it after the next update.
Just an fyi, a friend of mine (not me(totally me)) uninstalled a bunch of Verizon OEM apps that he thought were bloatware, and now when he tries to use the mobile hotspot it says, "An error has occurred when activating this functionality. Please try again later."
So, yeah, I'll post the solution when I find it in case anyone else is as dumb as my, "friend."
THX for the list! You are life saver. I only play one game (Island wars) and it was running so poorly I started thinking about selling my phone but now it run smoothly. It's mind boggling how much background garbage can slow down Android this day.
I'm extremely interested in this post due to having one of these phones, as I'm sure not any kind of a android expert I'm not exactly sure as to how to perform this debloating procedure on my phone, but I would assume it would involve connecting my phone to my windows computer.
