RedMi Note 11. Just received it for Christmas and boy was I crying the first time I booted it. 1 Gb of bloatware must most importantly: impossible to uninstall chrome.
That is ok if any other browser can co-exist beside it… Boy was I wrong again. Some links from apps don’t even care about my default browser, they just open chrome cause hell yeah.
This is sickening me, Google is beginning to really disgust me. Someday I’ll root this mf to get rid of ALL the bloatware
You can uninstall even system apps via ADB
Only disable iirc - but it has the same effect 😊
You can uninstall the app for the user, which achieves 99% of the same effect.
For my case though, on an older Samsung phone running Android 11, I was able to just use the uninstall command (not just for the user) for most bloat apps. Only a couple or so apps refused to be uninstalled entirely. It may not still be valid but it is possible.
What does that acronym mean?Android Debug Bridge.
It’s used automatically when programming android apps on your PC (it’ll send the development app to the phone and tell the phone to run it), but you can also use it to run commands on the phone that it normally wouldn’t allow, and can sometimes unbrick a dead phone.
It can’t fix everything, but it gives you a lot more control over the phone than you’d get otherwise.
