De-bloat your Android

DE-BLOAT YOUR ANDROID [ROOT]

In this post, I want to share ways to optimize your smartphone, which will greatly help improve your device's battery, save RAM, and so on.

REQUIREMENTS AND PREPARATION

To do this, you need to flash and then install Magisk, or you can install a KernelKSU and then the KernelKSU apk, to root your phone. Then, install the --De-bloater -- and grant permissions to [De-bloater].

DISABLING PROCESS

• Now, open the [De-bloater] application.

• Search every .apk and disable it.

• IMPORTANT! Only disable the .apk with the [SAFE] tag.

HOW TO RESET

To reset everything, you need to click the 6 dots in the top right corner, then select "Reset Module" and restart.

Keep in mind: If you removed SystemUI.apk, even if you reset the modules or delete the de-bloater, it won't work correctly and your device might become unusable.

IMPORTANT NOTES AND DISCLAIMER

This was tested on Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 4GB/128GB with DotOS A11 ROM and CrDroid A13 9.30 ROM.

Remember to check on Google what each .apk does before disabling it.

I'm not sure if this will work on other devices, so I'm not responsible for any issues you may encounter.
