Summary

This is a detached fork of the UAD project, which aims to improve privacy and battery performance by removing unnecessary and obscure system apps. This can also contribute to improving security by reducing the attack surface.

Packages are as well documented as possible to provide a better understanding of what you can delete or not. The worst issue that could happen is removing an essential system package needed during boot causing then an unfortunate bootloop. After about 5 failed system boots, the phone will automatically reboot in recovery mode, and you'll have to perform a FACTORY RESET. Make a backup first!

In any case, you CANNOT hard-brick your device with this software! That's the main point, right?

Features

  • Uninstall/Disable and Restore/Enable system packages
  • Multi-user support (e.g. apps in work profiles)
  • Export/Import your selection in uad_exported_selection.txt
  • Multi-device support: you can connect multiple phones at the same time
  • All your actions are logged locally, so you never forget what you've done

NB: System apps cannot truly be uninstalled without root (see the FAQ)
