What is this thing, an app or codes? https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/15yotxd/what_is_google_partner_setup/ https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-z-fold-z-flip/quot-google-partner-setup-quot-app/td-p/8026228 https://techwiti.com/google-partner-setup/ https://support.google.com/android/thread/205176241/what-is-the-app-google-partner-set-up-for-and-is-it-something-standard-for-my-galaxy-a-13-5g?hl=en
Even better:
adb shellpm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.partnersetupBoom, completely uninstalled.
While you’re at it, you can go ahead and uninstall all the other bloat shit you don’t want; Facebook services, Microsoft shit and other google stuff you don’t want.
Does this work with every brand?
Xiaomi is pestering me with a myriad of unwanted and unnecessary apps.
if you’re in the adb shell you can do
pm list packagesto get a list of every installed app. Because you have to input the complete name of the package to uninstall it. There you will get all of them.If you open the Google Play Store website and search for an app you will also find the full package name in the URL
When I had the stock ROM in my xiaomi, https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater, did the job. No need for Android SDK, just ADB and this.
This is what I used on the Xiaomi phone I’m using now. I disabled a load of the Xiaomi junk and had no problems.
Just don’t disable the default dialler, as other diallers seem to rely on it to draw on top of other apps, meaning that I couldn’t answer the phone with it disabled.
It sometimes provides a description of the package as well.
I am not 100% if this works with every brand.
You can test this, what i posted here cannot destroy your system. If something fails, it just doesn’t uninstall the app. Other than that there are no destructive commands i posted here.
You can install Canta from F-Droid that allows you to easily uninstall apps with just one device, and gives you a short description of what it does. https://f-droid.org/packages/org.samo_lego.canta/
Minimal ADB and Fastboot on Windows, on *nix just search for ‘adb’ in your package manager. No need for the whole SDK.
Even better with wireless debugging and some app manager or shizuku
yup, i have a bash alias that connects wireless first and then goes adb shell
Why? 🥺 you can just do wireless adb to the same device, and open the shell in termux 🫣
because i have to establish a connection to the IP of my phone first before being able to do adb shell
and i want that to be one single command. I made the adbwifi alias that connects to the ip and immediately does adb shell afterwards.
But you still need a PC? 🥺
oh you meant i should just adb from my phone onto my phone right?
Yeah no thanks, i like to use a real keyboard, big screen and the ability to copy paste super easily^^
That’s nothing i’d like to do on my phone.
Install UAD (Universal android debloater) on your PC. Has recommended and advanced lists to remove bloatware across various brands.
UAD doesn’t work with wayland atm afaik.
That’s why i went with the manual route.
Even with XWayland?
😅 In software, I am not an early adopter for such reasons. Being in consumer tech development, I prefer to be one step behind.
Everything i really need works flawless under wayland and i don’t need UAD.
So no loss for me. And i am sure i could make it work by playing around with ENV vars and exporting the right one. But i don’t want to waste my time on that because i will not use UAD anyway soooo
Thanks dear, let me try to remove whatever this thing.
Even better👍🏼
