Samsung Bloatware

March 18th, 2021

Finally found some time to remove some of the Samsung's bloatware. It was easier than expected. The trigger was annoying stupid reminders: Samsung Cloud to be closed. Install One Drive now! No! F*ya!

Helpful for finding package names is your favorite search engine and:

pm list packages | grep ...

So my list is here:

adb shell
# Samsung Cloud
hero2lte:/ $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.scloud

# Skype
hero2lte:/ $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.skype.raider

# Upday - didn't know it comes from Axel Springer, lol!
hero2lte:/ $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 de.axelspringer.yana.zeropage

# Facebook, Facebook App Manager and Services
# If you use Oculus, you will need it
hero2lte:/ $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.katana
hero2lte:/ $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.services
hero2lte:/ $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.appmanager
hero2lte:/ $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.system

# Yahoo
hero2lte:/ $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.widgetapp.yahooedge.finance
hero2lte:/ $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.widgetapp.yahooedge.sport

# GMail
