How to remove Bloatware from Vivo X90 Pro

Bloatware, or also referred to as pre-installed apps, can take up valuable storage space on your devices. Vivo is a brand that is particularly infamous for having a lot of bloatware. The bloatware in Vivo X90 Pro can slow down the device’s performance and give you storage issues. This is why you might want to remove bloatware from your device. If yes, then you are certainly in the right place. In this guide, you will get to know how to remove bloatware from Vivo X90 Pro.

How to remove bloatware from Vivo X90 Pro

Step 1: Install Android SDK

To start off, install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC or computer. It’s the official ADB and Fastboot binary provided by Google. You should download it and extract it to a convenient location on your PC. Doing this will give you the necessary platform-tools folder.

Step 2: Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking

Then, you will need to enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking on your smartphone. The former makes your smartphone recognizable by the PC in ADB mode. Meanwhile, it’ll allow you to easily boot your smartphone to Fastboot Mode.

OEM Unlocking will be needed to carry out the bootloader unlocking process. You’ll need to go to Settings -> About Phone -> Tap on Build number 7 times -> Return to Settings -> System -> Developer Options -> Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking.

Step 3: Establish ADB Shell Connection

• To start off, connect your smartphone to the PC using a USB cable
• Go to the platform-tools folder, type CMD in the address bar, and then hit Enter to launch the Command Prompt
• Press the following command in the CMD window for verifying the ADB connection

adb devices

• If you’re getting the Device ID, then it means the connection stands successful
• Type the below command for opening the Shell environment

adb shell

• It’ll list your device codename, which means that the shell connection has been established successfully

Step 4: Debloat or remove the bloatware

• First, you need to execute the below command for getting the list of all apps installed and the package names

pm list packages

• Type the generic command to uninstall any bloatware from the device –

pm uninstall –k --user 0 Package Name

• For instance, if you want to remove BGMI Mobile with package name “com.tencent.bgmi”, its removal command will be –

pm uninstall –k --user 0 com.tencent.bgmi

• With that, you won’t be able to uninstall the entire bloatware using the aforementioned commands
• Vivo system apps will need you to execute the below command –

adb shell service call package 131 s16 PackageName i32 0 i32 0

• In the above command, the value “131” is essentially the transaction number that developers found from the IPackageManager.java after they decompiled framework.jar
• The first i32 0 stands for uninstall while i32 1 stands for reinstall and the final i32 0 will be for user 0, which remains constant throughout

Uninstall all Pre-Installed Apps on Vivo X90 Pro (ADB Commands)

Carefully review the list of pre-installed apps on your Vivo X90 Pro. If you decide that you want to remove an app, use the corresponding command. If you make a mistake, you can easily reinstall the app following the instructions in the next section.
