bug(scope): uad-ng-generated list of my apps is missing some of them

asakura42 commented 2 months ago

Describe the bug

Thanks to uad-ng I disabled many apps, but apps like com.miui.notes and com.miui.compass do not show up in the list and are not removed automatically despite being present in the json file (I checked this json file in ~/.cache/uad/uad_lists.json).

I checked some outputs for grepd com.miui.notes and compared with for example com.xiaomi.xmsf.

$ adb shell pm list packages -f | grep -i com.miui.notes
package:/data/app/~~SOME_STRING==/com.miui.notes-SOME_STRING==/base.apk=com.miui.notes

$ adb shell pm list packages -f | grep -i com.xiaomi.xmsf
package:/data/app/~~SOME_STRING==/com.xiaomi.xmsf-SOME_STRING==/base.apk=com.xiaomi.xmsf

These lines look similar.

Json structure is similar too :

  "com.xiaomi.xmsf": {
    "list": "Oem",
    "description": "Xiaomi Service Framework\nContains a set of API's for Xiaomi apps. Expect widespread breakage of Xiaomi apps/functionality if disabled.\nDisabling will mess with Alarm clock functionality(according to issue#136) and break Mi Cloud and Mi account (and all features that depend on them).\nI don't know about now, but in 2016 this app constantly tried to establish tcp connections in the background.",
    "dependencies": [],
    "neededBy": [],
    "labels": [],
    "removal": "Expert"
  },

and

  "com.miui.notes": {
    "list": "Oem",
    "description": "Mi Notes\n",
    "dependencies": [],
    "neededBy": [],
    "labels": [],
    "removal": "Recommended"
  },

Also I checked how many packages weren't disabled (and showed in uad-ng because I disabled all 'Recommended'), there are 17:

com.xiaomi.scanner
com.miui.weather2
com.mi.global.pocobbs
ru.yandex.yandexmaps
com.miui.android.fashiongallery
ru.yandex.searchplugin
com.miui.screenrecorder
com.android.soundrecorder
com.xiaomi.midrop
com.duokan.phone.remotecontroller
com.miui.compass
com.miui.calculator
com.miui.notes
cn.wps.xiaomi.abroad.lite
com.yandex.browser
com.miui.huanji
com.mi.global.pocostore

This list was created with small script:

while IFS= read -r line ; do
jq -r 'to_entries | map(select(.value.removal == "Recommended") | .key) | .[]' ~/.cache/uad/uad_lists.json | grep "^$line$"
done <<< $(adb shell pm list packages -e | awk -F':' '{print $2}')

Expected behavior

Possibility to select and delete/disable some OEM apps like com.miui.notes.

You have a solution?

Manual uninstallation of these apps after uad-ng /shrug

Operating System

Linux

Window Manager

xorg

Desktop Environment

No DE. WM is dwm.

Did you already solve this issue by yourself perhaps? It could be that on some devices it's a system app and on other's it's not.

@AnonymousWP I just disabled these apps manually.

Anyway, "system" Google packages (Services, Chrome etc) uad-ng detects and disables like a charm. But these packages - not.

Do you believe this is a bug or due to what I suggested above? In case of we latter: we can close it.
