This looks like a bug rather than a documentation problem. There are many Facebook apps in the list

Tried it on another phone (xiaomi poco m6 pro) and none of the bloatwares that i mentioned were listed in UAD too.

That's weird. I remember an issue where no packs would show up in the GUI. This seems related

We should pick this up if this really is a severe bug.

Is there any chance of this being fixed?

@cretoo I guess most (all?) org members don't have multi-user devices, to test updates. So we'll have to redirect users (such as you) to the unofficial "nightly" releases (actually, workflow runs)

Maybe the bug has been fixed on the main branch without anyone noticing? 👀

@Rudxain Thanks i'll take a look at it. It seems like UADNG only list system apps and not preinstalled user apps.

@Rudxain Thanks i'll take a look at it.

You're welcome! BTW, those build artifacts are generally triggered manually, so even those might be "old" compared to main.

preinstalled user apps.

Such as system apps that got updated? 👀

Such as system apps that got updated?

I don't think so, it's a brand new phone out of the box. I was able to see the mentioned apps (Netflix, facebook, etc.) listed under user apps on ADB AppControl which is another debloater, so i thought UADNG only list system apps and not user apps.

only list system apps and not user apps.

Similar (legacy) report: 0x192/universal-android-debloater#795

It seems like an ADB bug. Or maybe the OEM has hidden those packs from ADB for some reason? It seems plausible, considering Samsung Galaxy "Deep Sleeping" apps are considered "Disabled" by the Android system

So I guess we can close this issue then considering both things are out of our control.

@cretoo please run this cmd:

adb shell pm list packages -3

Note

for privacy, don't post the output

Does it print the missing packs?

If not, try this:

adb shell pm list packages -a

Warning

DO NOT POST THE FULL OUTPUT!

If any of those work, then we can fix it on our side, but it has to be a new toggle setting filter. The -a flag is very verbose, so it'll be annoying for some users.

I suspect the OEM has misleadingly marked as "third-party" some "system" packs, that's why pm list packages -s is so empty

Rudxain commented Sep 16, 2024

huh, I thought -a was the default. This proves me wrong:

pm list packages -a | wc -l # 399
pm list packages | wc -l # 237

-a is undocumented

Uad only lists system packages. Some phones have some apps as system vs third party. These apps are usually easily deletable from the device UI, however.

I have a Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G and the POCO X6 5G both are the same phones. I see all of them

Not sure what we should do with this issue now to be honest. As Frigyes said: you can easily uninstall/remove pre-installed user-apps easily.

@Rudxain

Rudxain commented Jan 7, 2025

IMO, we should simply show all packs (as an opt-in), not just -s. But this is not a priority, unless there's a device model where at least 1 pack in -3 cannot be disabled/uninstalled

@AnonymousWP

Closing this issue because of Frigyes' and my conclusion. We can always re-open it later, but it's by design (you can just uninstall user-installed apps by yourself).

I agree, but

uninstall user-installed apps

not all -3 are manually-installed by the user 😕. Yes, they can be disabled by ADB and Settings-app, but what about the other features UAD-NG provides? (description, removal-type, backups, etc...)
