De-Bloater: A Systemless App De-bloating Solution
Introduction
De-Bloater is an application that leverages the power of Magisk to remove unwanted system apps in a systemless manner. If you’re tired of pre-installed bloatware cluttering your device, this module provides an efficient way to reclaim space and streamline your Android experience.
Features
- Easily Remove System Apps: De-Bloater allows you to remove system apps from the following directories:
/system
/vendor
/product
Requirements
Before using De-Bloater, ensure you meet the following requirements:
- Root Access: Your device must be rooted.
- Magisk Environment: De-Bloater requires a fully functional Magisk environment, including modules. It won’t work with other rooting solutions or in Magisk core-only mode.
How to Use
- Download the Module: Grab the De-Bloater module from the official GitHub repository.
- Install via Magisk: Install the module through the Magisk app (not TWRP).
- Open the App: Launch De-Bloater.
- Remove Unwanted Apps: Click the “Remove” button next to each app you want to get rid of. These apps will be removed systemless-ly after a reboot.
- Restore Apps: To restore an app, either use the “Reset Module” option in the top menu or selectively restore from the second page.
Remember that changes take effect after a restart.
Troubleshooting
- Bootloop Recovery: If you accidentally remove essential apps and your phone enters a bootloop, delete
/data/adb/modules/De-bloater
via recovery.
