Universal Android Debloater
Cross-platform GUI written in Rust using ADB
Universal Android Debloater is a command-line tool and GUI wrapper for managing and removing unwanted system apps and bloatware from Android devices—especially rooted ones. It reads a set of “profiles” corresponding to different manufacturers or Android versions, listing packages recommended for removal or disabling while preserving system stability. The tool communicates with the device over ADB (Android Debug Bridge), uninstalls or disables packages, and can restore disabled apps in case something breaks. Because removing critical system apps can break functionality, the tool emphasizes safety: it often suggests backups, lists dependencies, and allows dry runs before executing. For power users and tinkerers, it provides a curated, convenient way to slim down Android installations without manually running dozens of pm uninstall commands. -
