Remove useless apps from realme UI with ease


Introduction

Realme UI is honestly one of the smoothest custom Android skins out there in the wild.
But Bloatware applications that ship out of box spoil the experience.
You may never use apps like "Hot apps", "realme pay", "heytap cloud", "phone manager", etc.
And guess what, your phone could properly function without their existence and they could easily be removed in one click too !
So let the magic begin!
No complicated steps, no risk, no root required, entirely safe

Features

  • One Click Debloat or Revert
  • No previous technical knowledge required
  • Supports Windows,MacOS,Linux and BSD
  • adb binaries included* so saves time

*except for BSD users. I'm sorry about that

Requirements

  • A Realme device with USB debugging on*
  • A computer running Windows/Linux/Mac**
  • A Working Brain

*see how to turn on USB Debugging

**If you don't have access to a computer, you can also use an Android device with magisk adb binaries installed and an OTG Cable (But in that case, the other device should have root access via magisk)

How to Use

You DONT NEED to root your device to use this script and debloat it

Prerequisites

1. Debloating the device

  • On windows, head over to the unzipped folder and simply double click on the DebloatRealme.bat file

  • On Linux and MacOS, right click on the unzipped folder, open it in terminal and run ./debloat.sh

  • On BSD, first compile adb from here rest use the same method as MacOS/Linux but replace the adb binary/path in command accordingly for BSD

There would be promopt showing up on phone, tap "ok" on that

2. Revert everything

You wont be facing any problems after debloating your device in ideal cases. The below steps exists for worst-case scenarios and for documentation purposes.

  • On windows, head over to the unzipped folder and simply double click on the Undo_all_actions.bat file

  • On Linux and MacOS, right click on the unzipped folder, open it in terminal and run ./undo_all_actions.sh

  • On BSD, first compile adb from here rest use the same method as MacOS/Linux but replace the adb binary/path in command accordingly for BSD

There would be promopt showing up on phone, tap "ok" on that

That's it ! Enjoy !

footnotes

  • To manually reinstall an uninstalled package for user 0, use the command
    "adb shell pm install-existing <package name>"
    OR
    "adb shell cmd package install-existing <package name>"

  • To manually enable a disabled package
    "adb shell pm enable <package name>"

  • There WON'T be any issues updating your phone after debloating as far as i noticed on my personal as well testers' devices

  • After every software update, run debloater again since some bloatware apps are reinstalled
