+# Debloat Samsung Phones with Android Debug Bridge (ADB)
+
+This repository contains a list of [Android Debug Bridge (ADB)](https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb) commands to aggressively bloatware from Samsung Android devices that don't normally display an option to remove them.
+
+
+Running all commands listed in [commands.txt](./commands.txt) will disable almost all Samsung apps.
+This includes the Galaxy App Store, Samsung Themes, Samsung Dex, Samsung Bixby, Facebook, and more.
+Use at your own risk and read over all commands to make sure you don't take out something you need.
+While these commands cannot harm your device, there may be situations where your phone gets into a crash-loop and the easiest fix is to boot the device into "Recovery Mode" and perform a factory reset.
+
+> ⚠️ Research each package before running the command to disable it. Some apps have hidden dependencies.
+
+## Instructions
+Search for a Minimal ADB installer : https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-2-9-18.2317790/
+Further reading on ADB can be found here: https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb#Enabling.
+
+1. Install Minimal ADB
+2. On your phone, enable Android's "Developer Options"
+3. In "Developer Options", turn on "USB Debugging"
+4. Connect your Samsung Android phone to your computer with USB debugging enabled. Verify that adb sees your device and the daemon is running with the following command
+    - `adb devices`
+    - You should see the device name listed as a "device".
+      - ![Alt text](image.png)
+    - At this point your device should prompt you to accept USB debugging from your computer. Tap "Allow".
+    
+5. Enter your device's shell with the following command
+    - `adb shell`
+6. Once in the device's shell, copy and paste all desired commands from [commands.txt](./commands.txt) to remove the package.
+
+## Other
+Once in your device's shell, you can use the following command to list installed packages by name.
+ - `pm list package | grep '<package name>'`
+
+For example, to list all installed packages with Facebook in their name, you'd type,
+ - `pm list package | grep 'facebook'`
+
+## Reinstall deleted apps
+Use :
+ - `pm install-existing --user 0 <package name>`
+  
+For example to reinstall Sound Quality and Effects, 
+ - `pm install-existing --user 0 com.sec.android.app.soundalive`
+
