ADB seems pretty cool, I didn't know that yet. Thank you for sharing
You can also use UAD-ng (it uses ADB) : https://github.com/Universal-Debloater-Alliance/universal-android-debloater-next-generation
Use at your own risks :D
This works. But do not uninstall google play services, just disable. Otherwise on newer phones it bootloops.
I just started messing around with it myself. It is possible to mess up your phone, so yet disabling services with adb first, see if you run into problems. Wait like a week. Then remind them.
The cool thing is you can remove a ton of bloat via adb without root. It's pretty amazing
you can easily brick your phone with adb. Just a heads up
I do adb+aud and shizuku+canta. The frist is good for command line or point and click uninstalls, and the other combo is good for not having to connect to a computer. I have both combos and love both.
