Universal Android Debloater Next Generation (UAD-NG) has made it easier for Samsung phone users to remove bloatware without rooting their devices. This tool utilizes Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to uninstall unwanted preinstalled apps, offering a straightforward solution to improve phone performance.
App Removal and Performance
Samsung phones often come with numerous preinstalled applications such as Bixby, Samsung Health, and Samsung Pay that can consume system resources. By using UAD-NG, users can now remove or disable these apps. This results in significant gains in battery life and system speed by freeing up RAM that these apps would otherwise occupy.
UAD-NG does this by preventing the selected packages from loading, although a factory reset will restore the apps. This approach allows the phone's read-only system partition to remain intact, ensuring user safety.
Usage and Features
To operate UAD-NG, users must first enable USB debugging in their device settings after accessing Developer Options. Once connected to a PC, the ADB command confirms the connection, allowing the debloater to interact with the phone.
- The tool provides a user-friendly graphical interface that recognizes the device and lists the apps by safety levels: Recommended, Advanced, Expert, Unsafe.
- It includes options to either clear and disable or directly uninstall packages, advising users with safety recommendations for each app.
- UAD-NG is free, open-source, and safeguards against uninstalling essential system applications by default.
Broader Implications
For Samsung users frustrated by unwanted bloatware, UAD-NG offers an accessible, reversible solution to reclaim phone resources. This tool aligns with user needs to extend battery life and optimize device performance, without engaging in risky rooting procedures.
