# Simple Android Debloater

This software is in beta 🚧

Simple Android Debloater is a free and open source project to disable unwanted system apps that carriers / OEMs force install in our mobile phones.

This is an attempt like [Universal Android Debloater](https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater/) built with [Tauri](https://tauri.app/) and [Sveltekit](https://kit.svelte.dev/). 

Unlike UAD, this tool is aimed to be beginner friendly so as to not uninstall apps unexpectedly which can brick the device.

**Note**: *Disabling system apps can also soft brick the device*

## Features

### Standard features

- Disabling and Enabling a package

- Auto detect devices and heartbeats

- Customizable prompt settings

- Search and Filter Packages

### Features over UAD

- Labels and Discussions powered by Github Discussions

    - Can be crowdsourced and moderated

    - Refreshed automatically once a day and can be triggered manually

    - ![Discussion Screenshot](./static/screenshots/discussion.png)

- Bulk Enable and Disable

    - ![Bulk Disable Screenshot](./static/screenshots/bulk_disable_packages.png)

- Export and Import Settings, Results and Other data

    - ![Export Screenshot](./static/screenshots/export_packages.png)

    - ![Import Screenshot](./static/screenshots/import_packages.png)

## Download

 Goto the latest [Releases Page](https://github.com/thulasi-ram/simple_android_debloater/releases) click on assets and download the installers applicable for your OS. 

 Supported Platforms: 

- Windows: Installer (setup.exe, .msi), 

- Mac: Installer (.dmg), App (.app) 

- Linux: Installer (.deb), Image (.AppImage)

Screenshots are available in [static](./static/screenshots) directory.

## Usage

### Prerequisites

- In the phone

    - Make sure Usb Debugging is turned on

    - This requires one to enable developer options

- In the PC

    - Make sure to download [ADB Tools](https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools#downloads) for your PC.

    - ADB need not be in Path. Setting path is tedious in windows. 

    - Use settings -> custom_adb_path pointing to the downloaded folder

    - - ![Settings Screenshot](./static/screenshots/settings.png)

### Usage

![Usage Screenshot](./static/screenshots/sad_v0.3.0-beta_usage.gif)

- Click on Devices found in the left sidebar

- Use the search bar for searching

- Filtering for system, thirdparty, disabled, enabled app states

- Packages that are disabled by DPM (Device Policy Manager) are hidden

## Development

Frontend Server Only:

`npm run dev`

Run rust and node at once:

`npm run tauri dev -- --verbose`
