I dont understand how to set up the debloater app. Can i get someone to show me how to open it on my computer? I am really , really lost.

I saw the app advertised on youtube. I downloaded it but now that it is on my computer I don't understand any of this of how to get it to even start. There are no instructions. I am not a tech or computer guy but I thought I would ask for help. I am not tech saavy and this looks like its above me to know how to start it. I do know the usb debugging is open on my phone so i took care of that. But how do I get this going? Can we get instructions in laymans terms? I cant understand this.

Describe the bug UAD GUI is stuck at "Downloading latest UAD lists from GitHub. Please wait...".

Expected behavior I expect the GUI to continue with its normal behavior after downloading the lists.

You have a solution? No, I do not.

UAD log Sadly I don't know where it is located... EDIT: I found the log:

UAD_20220805.log

Poco x3 nfc I will tell it from the beginning. So, my already debloated phone (around 60 packages) got a system update (MIUI 12.5.4.0, security update apparently) and I installed the update. Then the phone restarted itself to finish the update, but it entered bootloop. I tried fixes and etc. but didn't work, so I had to factory reset. After setting the phone up again, I debloated (around 30 packages) and restarted the phone again to see if the bootloop was due to debloated packages, and boom, another bootloop. After another factory reset, this time I only uninstalled the apps that showed in app drawer and play store and restarted the phone(I didnt uninstall built-in system packages etc.) . This time there wasnt bootloop. So, if your phone is debloated, dont update it. And if you are going to update, make backup of your files, contacts etc.

HERE IS THE PACKAGE LIST THAT CAUSED THE BOOTLOOP AND THE ONE THAT DOESNT CAUSE BOOTLOOP IF YOU HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AFTER UPDATING

safe to uninstall.txt caused bootloop.txt

DAMN xiaomi, you caused me to lose my contacts and 2fa

Added a bunch of packages from Oneplus 3/3T and Oneplus 9. Added a bunch of descriptions for packages already in the list. Corrected some erroneous descriptions. Shortened some descriptions and corrected some grammar. Changed "Removal" and "List" for some packages.

To save you some time and give a taste of my changes, here's some highlights from the list (all of these lacked descriptions or were very wrong):

com.android.carrierdefaultapp

This package is a generic solution that allows carriers to indicate when a device has run OOB(Out Of Balance). Android devices that are OOB need carrier mitigation protocols to allow select data through(like to notify users their data/balance is out, or allow them to buy more data through the carrier app). Will probably break that functionality if disabled, but is otherwise safe to disable(should only affect users that are out of data/balance?). https://source.android.com/devices/tech/connect/oob-users

com.android.ons - Opportunistic Network Service

From what I can glean in the source code it seems like this provides a list of available networks and assigns each network a priority. I've never seen it run on its own, so this might be part of some automatic network switching setting that I have turned off. https://cs.android.com/android/platform/superproject/+/master:packages/services/AlternativeNetworkAccess/src/com/android/ons/OpportunisticNetworkService.java https://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/AvailableNetworkInfo https://cs.android.com/android/platform/superproject/+/master:frameworks/base/telephony/java/android/telephony/AvailableNetworkInfo.java

com.oneplus.orm

Seems to be Oneplus' Memory Management System according to a press-kit/-release they made for Android 11 (multiple sites wrote "ORM Memory Management System" word-for-word). Runs in the background as part of the system. Runs even if disabled? Doesn't use any RAM when disabled tho, vs ~50MB when enabled. Seems safe to disable, haven't noticed any negative effects in weeks of use, but I assume it breaks the "RAM Boost" feature (which is pointless anyway IMO). Apk file name: OPOmm, mm = Memory Management?

com.oneplus.screenrecord - Screen Recorder

The Android 11 screen recorder with some Oneplus modifications. Runs the "SystemUITileService" when you have it as one of the quicksettings tiles, but doesn't seem to run in the background outside of that. Doesn't have an app icon, but you can create a shortcut to it with the Activity Launcher app. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.szalkowski.activitylauncher/

com.qualcomm.qti.smq - QTR (Qualcomm Technology Reporting)

Runs on boot. Seems like a telemetry package, supposedly sending hardware & software type, configuration and performance data. Contains a "QtiFeedbackActivity" called "Hardware Feedback". When that hidden activity is launched through Activity Launcher you get a screen showing just a checkbox and this text: "Collecting hardware and software type, configuration, and performance data helps Qualcomm improve next generation device battery life, security, and performance. Untick to disable." Unticking isn't remembered; it's ticked again next time you enter. There's also a "Learn More" link that leads to: http://reporting.qti.qualcomm.com/learnmore_en.html which doesn't load for me.

net.oneplus.launcher - Oneplus Launcher

Runs in the background as part of the system. Aside from obviously handling the default launcher itself, it also handles the Recents UI on Android 9, the home&recents gestures in Android 11, some submenus in the Settings app and possibly more that I'm unaware of. Probably not a good idea to disable.

com.google.android.apps.work.oobconfig - Device Setup

Sets up device to be managed by EMM (Enterprise Mobility Management), which "allows organizations to securely enable employee use of mobile devices". Might also be what does the actual management on your device, if you set it up as a work device. Only seems to run on boot(not in the background after boot) if you haven't set up your device as a work device. I tried to disable it through UAD, but nothing happens? Seems immune to disabling? https://bayton.org/2020/11/google-announce-big-changes-to-zero-touch/ https://bayton.org/docs/enterprise-mobility/android/what-is-android-zero-touch-enrolment/

com.qualcomm.qti.smq nicely illustrates how useful Activity Launcher can be in combination with a Package Viewer that shows Activities.

As you saw in one of the new list entries; I've found a way to see running system processes. The Simple System Monitor app with the PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS permission (granted through ADB) is the only way I've found in Android 11. Seeing running system processes also showed some interesting things, like some processes running even while disabled(I assume Uninstall would yield the same result). For example com.qualcomm.location and Dolby & Dirac Sound System services run even if disabled, with RAM usage. I guess some system packages(com.oneplus.orm) rely on access to user-space(which disable/uninstall removes) while others(qualcomm.location/audio systems) don't and run just like normal even when disabled/uninstalled?

My changes have been over the course of a couple of weeks, but I've taken care to include any changes in recent commits, so nothing should be lost and it should merge nicely with the main branch.

First, thanks a lot for the amazing software, it works very well and I very much appreciate it!! :)

Lately I've been trying to debloat an old huawei device with android 4.2.2 on it. The UAD interface somehow seems to display the "Disable"/"Uninstall" buttons dimmer, and clicking them does nothing.

I searched but didn't find documentation on that kind of issue. What could be the reason why it's not working? Thanks a lot for the attention :)

Xiaomi POCO F4

Here is a direct link to the app which states the filename: com.miui.notes https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/xiaomi-inc/miui-notes/

Here is a screenshot of the app from my phone:

In the past I used your previous app (the written by someone else, that uses a Jar file) and it had the option to remove this app and it was safe to do so and I did and it had no problems for years. Please add it to the list so I can remove it again from my new Xiaomi phone. Thank you

I installed UAD with the necsessary programs on my laptop and plugged my phone in the USB cable (USB debugging is activated), the program tries to search for my phone, but there's always the info "no devices/emulators found".

Well, I expected it to find my device, so I can delete the software I don't need.

I tried to redo the searching process, clicking that reboot button etc. Would like to have someone explain to me what I did wrong

The idea here is that this notice should be attached to each source file in the program (though it is often put in the README instead), not modified in the LICENSE file itself (in this the GPL is unlike the MIT license and other similar licenses). It's probably a good idea to revert this change to the LICENSE file and instead put the notice somewhere else.
