The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ are truly fantastic flagship phones – unfortunately they do come with a bit of bloatware, either from your carrier or Samsung itself. Usually we would recommend a combination of root and a /system app remover to debloat Samsung devices, however there is an alternative method for non-rooted users.
In this Appuals guide, we will show you how to safely debloat your Samsung Galaxy S9 / S9+ device through ADB commands, no root necessary. We will also list the most common bloatware apps installed on Samsung devices which you can (usually) safely disable – if disabling an app will effect your device, we will make note of it, so pay attention carefully throughout this guide.
Requirements:
ADB & Fastboot (See Appuals guide How to Install ADB on Windows)
When using ADB commands to debloat a Samsung device, there are two separate commands you can use. Its up to you which one to utilize:
pm uninstall -k --user 0: Will force you to perform a factory reset if you want to undo
pm disable-user --user 0: Safer way, can be undone without factory reset
1. First you need to enable Developer Mode on your Samsung device. Go to Settings > About Phone > tap Build Number 7 times to enable Developer Mode.
2. Now go to Settings > Developer Options > enable USB Debugging.
3. Now connect your Samsung S9 / S9+ to your PC via USB.
4. Launch an ADB terminal on your computer (hold Shift + Right click inside your main ADB pathway, and choose ‘Open a Command Window Here’).
5.Now in the ADB terminal, type: adb devices
6. This should initiate a pairing dialogue on your Samsung’s screen – confirm it. ADB should display your device’s serial number.
7. If ADB does not recognize your Samsung device, you may need to troubleshoot your Samsung USB drivers, or your USB cable.
8. If your device was successfully recognized, you may type into the ADB terminal: adb shell
9. Now to get a full list of all packages installed on your Samsung S9 / S9+, including bloatware, type into the ADB terminal: pm list packages | sort
That will show you every single package installed on your Samsung device, which you can scan through and pick and choose which to disable.
However, we will also show you all of the most common apps and bloatware installed on Samsung devices as /system apps – thus, all you need to do is scan through our entire list, and you can copypaste the codes into your ADB terminal (thus, we’ve pretty much done the bulk of the work for you).
Please note we are using pm disable instead of pm uninstall, so you will not need to factory reset your device if you want one of the packages re-enabled. You can simply reverse it with pm enable.
