Bloatware App Removal Tools

Description

This tool allows you to quickly and conveniently remove or disable unnecessary system apps, utilities, Google apps, and third-party apps on devices running MIUI or HyperOS. The scripts are written in Bash (Linux) and PowerShell (Windows), making them versatile for different systems. Everything is alphabetically sorted, with clear menus and app statuses.

Key Features:

• Remove MIUI/HyperOS system apps (e.g., GetApps, Mi Browser).
• Disable critical utilities (e.g., Quick Apps, Touch Assistant).
• Manage Google apps (YouTube, Gmail, etc.).
• Remove third-party apps (Netflix, Facebook, etc.).
• Check app statuses via ADB.

How to Use

Prerequisites

1. ADB (Android Debug Bridge): Download platform-tools from the official Android site.
2. USB Debugging: Enable "USB Debugging" in Developer Options on your device.
3. Connection: Connect your device to your computer via USB.

Instruction for Linux

Create a work folder

• Unzip the archive from platform-tools or install ADB (android-tools package).

• Download the script from Release and move it to the folder with platform-tools, or use git:

  git clone https://github.com/quinsaiz/bloatware-remove.git
  cd bloatware-remove

Run the script:

• Give permission to execute the file:

  chmod +x script.sh

• Run the script:

  ./script.sh

Instruction for Windows

Create a work folder:

• Unzip the archive from platform-tools or install ADB.

• Download the script.ps1 from Release and move it to the platform-tools folder.

Run the script:

• Open PowerShell.

• Go to the folder with the script:

  cd path/to/bloatware-remove

• Set execution policy to be able to run scripts only in the current PowerShell session:

  Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force

• Run the script:

  .\script.ps1

Select an option: Use numbers to navigate through the menu (for example, 1 for MIUI/HyperOS apps).

Important Notes

Backup: It’s recommended to back up your device before removing system apps.

Safety: Disabling critical utilities may affect system stability.
