Unable to uninstall app after clicking uninstall.

Open kayu5h opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

I have installed the ADB Driver for my phone (realme c2).

I can see my device through the terminal too! image

UAD can also detect my phone image

but after clicking uninstall the app on my phone does not get removed.

Here is the app I am trying to uninstall. image

The log file: https://pastebin.pl/view/raw/37ba3727

Can you tell what am I missing?

The log file says ADB not found but I have clearly installed ADB drivers on my Windows PC :(

Did you put it in your PATH? Make sure you follow https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater#how-to-use-it precisely.

Then I guess it's because of: https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater/wiki/FAQ#how-is-it-possible-to-delete-a-system-package-without-root-permission. What about disabling packages? Does that work? Check settings (top-right).

Got the same problem, as per #527 and #497 and really need it to be solved, but I can give some more hints on program behaviour. I am on a Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2, Android 9 (Asus_X01BDA) Build PKQ1.WW_Phone-16.2017.2010.101-20201127. I can tell quite surely that this problem only appears after a good hard debloat, along with other weird behaviour. If I factory reset and try to uninstall the packages that were before impossible to uninstall or disable, they are easily gone as per normal behaviour. Then after a deep debloat, things start to go wrong. Surely we are uninstalling some fundamental package that wrecks functionalities, but in many hours of trial and error I never found which it was. Other strange behaviour that comes along this are: apps uninstalled got reinstalled after reboot (but does not happen anymore if same apps are uninstalled after a fresh factory reset); sometimes this is "solved" by disabling, but often it is not (probably different behaviours or bugs, but I can't tell for sure so I append them here); Apps advanced permissions are not changeable anymore after debloat ("Install from unknown sources" and "Picture-in-picture") BUT the only app I allowed before debloat (Simple File Manager Pro from F-Droid) remains allowed to install from unknown sources, and I can't disable it. It's like advanced permissions got frozen. Normal permissions switching correctly. Some options manually setup inside phone are resetted to original, and I have to manually rechange them, but not all. USB Debugging is not working properly anymore, sometimes it works, more often not, have to manually delete permissions, uncheck usb debugging, then reenable it to make it work.

I also took care of not disabling the package com.android.shell, as it is written that it also breaks UAD usage. I searched hours for a package that could be related, but I could not guess it. EDIT EDIT EDIT: I found that my device always goes OFFLINE and tht's why I need to revoke and replace key for authorizing PC to usb debug. Usually restart is needed and at restart even Dev Options are disabled and have to reeneable every time, but returns offline very quickly.

@AnonymousWP Today after months I tried to do the same process of uninstalling apps and it worked this time, but some apps were unable to be uninstalled. :( And yeah, disabling packages work but that also only with some apps! UAD shows that it has disabled those packages, but it hasn't.
