Like many others, I find ADB to be an excellent utility when I intend to get rid of bloatwares / system-apps-that-I-don’t need from my Android phone.
The only caveat being that ADB is to be run only on a separate device (Windows, macOS or Linux), and my Android phone has to be connected to it in USB-debugging mode.
Not sure if this is a dumb question or not - but Is there any ADB equivalent that I can run straight in my Android phone to remove bloatware from the same Android phone ?
Thanks in advance !
You can use LADB, but it is not free unless you compile the app yourself.
You can use Bugjaeger instead, which can achieve the same thing (just a bit trickier to use). It is free on the Play Store but has ads. You can use an ad blocker in the background though, it’s not a big problem.
shizuku + rish gives you a persistent adb shell and even 3rd-party app integration
I think running Shizuku and then using Package Manager , you can achieve what you are after.
