Removes / Disables not uninstallable packages on Android though ADB(Android Debug Bridge). Works with any version of Android upto 12.
These apps are usually can't be removed by Android Package manager. Most of these apps are pre installed on Android regardless of the user wants them or not.
The script needs a Text file named google.list, which will contain the name of the packages to be removed.
- Note : One line should contain only one apk package names without any space in between.
- In the
google.list
file, insert all the package names that are to be removed (there are two more filepackage.list
andpackage2.list
containing some more packages) - ADB MUST be installed and USB debugging must be turned ON in the Android device
- Connect the Android device with your computer through USB cable
- Run the script
- And done!!
- ADB
-
The package name needed here is not same as the package name shown in the app drawer. To get the exact APK name,
Go to Settings -> Apps -> Manage Apps -> Select the app -> Tap on the App info icon The field 'APK Name' will have the exact apk package name of the app
-
Do check all the names of all the applications that are going to get remove to prevent any data loss.
-
The Google Play Store and Google Play Service have left out and this script will NOT remove them by default.
Its a simple script which is easy to use and for beginner to understand the code.
