    Does this work with every brand?

    Xiaomi is pestering me with a myriad of unwanted and unnecessary apps.

      if you’re in the adb shell you can do pm list packages to get a list of every installed app. Because you have to input the complete name of the package to uninstall it. There you will get all of them.

      If you open the Google Play Store website and search for an app you will also find the full package name in the URL

        This is what I used on the Xiaomi phone I’m using now. I disabled a load of the Xiaomi junk and had no problems.

        Just don’t disable the default dialler, as other diallers seem to rely on it to draw on top of other apps, meaning that I couldn’t answer the phone with it disabled.

      I am not 100% if this works with every brand.

      You can test this, what i posted here cannot destroy your system. If something fails, it just doesn’t uninstall the app. Other than that there are no destructive commands i posted here.
