Maybe better to continue our discussion here, @VistHJ and @kyoforkshomebrews. Context: https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater/issues/518#issuecomment-1410291963

[v1s7]

I've got some information:

• com.huawei.android.internal.app

Component of Huawei sharing. I read someone saying "Do not remove or you won't be able to send files to apps".\nCan someone test it ? \n Myth busted, here's proof: https://youtu.be/RDEnyPl78XI

• com.huawei.android.hwaps

This is a part of the PowerGenie, the task killer app. If you want to remove it, uninstall com.huawei.powergenie along the way

[kyoforkshomebrews]

Is it still possible to use the share menu though? Because i think that's what com.huawei.android.internal.app does? The video only shows the file selector.

Done, please check.

On my phone many of the packages under com.huawei.*** have been renamed com.hihonor.*** . Apart from that they are the same package. Including both would simply require duplicating the existing entries, the following python script worked for me:

import json, sys

def make_honor(app):
    # dont want to change the previos one:
    app = app.copy()
    app['id'] = app['id'].replace("com.huawei.","com.hihonor.")
    if app['dependencies'] is not None:
        app['dependencies'] = [name.replace("com.huawei.","com.hihonor.") for name in app['dependencies']]
    if app['neededBy'] is not None:
        app['neededBy'] = [name.replace("com.huawei.","com.hihonor.") for name in app['neededBy']]
    return app

with open(sys.argv[1]) as fp:
    apps = json.load(fp)
    
apps = [*apps,
        *(make_honor(app) for app in apps if app['id'].startswith('com.huawei.'))]

with open(sys.argv[2],"w") as fp:
    json.dump(apps,fp,indent=4)

I'm happy to make a pull request as soon as this one has been merged.

I want to also add following info:

com.huawei.hwdockbar

List: Oem Removal: Advanced

Huawei Multi-Window dock. Probably fine to remove if you're not using Huawei Multi-Window features.

com.huawei.filemanager

List: Oem Removal: Advanced

Huawei file manager. Probably fine to remove as long as you have another file manager.

com.huawei.hms5gkit.agentservice

List: Oem Removal: Advanced

Something to do with 5G? For some reason this is also installed on a non-5G device. Can be uninstalled from phone settings so should be safe if you don't have 5G.

The package com.huawei.android.dsdscardmanager also exists as com.huawei.dsdscardmanager

[kyoforkshomebrews]

com.huawei.permissioncontroller

List: Oem Removal: Recommended

https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-remove-huawei-bloatware-without-root-access-using-adb-usb-debugging.4014937/page-19#post-86890689 According to this source the following have been added in EMUI 12 and can be removed. I also tried disabling them on my phone and it seems that it's fine:

com.huawei.android.airsharing
com.huawei.contentsensor
com.huawei.devicemanager
com.huawei.hms5gkit.agentservice
com.huawei.hwdiagnosis
com.huawei.ohos.hiwindow
com.huawei.onehopsvcclient
com.huawei.onehopsvchost
com.huawei.profile
com.huawei.trustedthingsauth

com.huawei.meetime

List: Oem Removal: Recommended

Meetime video calling app. Can be removed via settings.

com.huawei.mediacontroller

List: Oem Removal: Advanced

Can be disabled via Settings. Will disable the media controls in quick settings. Won't remove them however.

[AnonymousWP]

The package com.huawei.android.dsdscardmanager also exists as com.huawei.dsdscardmanager

So, same package, different package name and same purpose (including list, description and removal)?

Would you be able to find out the description, removal and list that's required for this project? I have added the ones you listed.

com.huawei.meetime List: Oem Removal: Recommended

Meetime video calling app. Can be removed via settings.

This one was already added.

I suppose so. Is there any way to try the updated uad-list out? I want to check what's still missing.

No, unless you compile it with the new list. You can view my updated list here: https://github.com/AnonymousWP/universal-android-debloater/blob/520-Honor-unlisted-packages/resources/assets/uad_lists.json

[kyoforkshomebrews]

How do I do that? I compiled it after replacing /resources/assets/uad_lists.json but it seems that didn't work.

Hmm, not sure. Have you followed https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater/wiki#build ?

Yes, I tried running my compiled version without internet access but it still doesn't change the data shown.

I don't really know then. Haven't tried it myself. Did you find a solution by now?

[kyoforkshomebrews]

Yes. I had to also delete ~/.cache/uad/uad_lists.json

Anyways I think this can be merged. @AnonymousWP

This repo is dead, so that's why we revived it, see https://github.com/Universal-Debloater-Alliance/universal-android-debloater. I think the commits in this PR should be in that repo, I just compared.
