Remaining bloated app? #296

Closed tcrxt closed 8 months ago

tcrxt commented 8 months ago

The Universal Android Debloater GUI hasn't been updated in a while, but it recommends to uninstall the following applications on a fresh installation of DivestOS:

com.android.bluetoothmidiservice
com.android.calllogbackup
com.android.dreams.phototable
com.android.egg
com.android.providers.partnerbookmarks
com.android.systemui.plugin.globalactions.wallet

I get that the first one may be useful in some cases, but the others seem safe to remove from vanilla installations.

Define "bloat".

DivestOS ships fewer pre-installed apps than any other OS. Removing/disabling system apps is not supported and will break things.

Ok, thanks. "Bloat" seemed to apply typically to com.android.egg, which doesn't provide any (useful) feature and cannot be easily uninstalled otherwise.
