De-Bloater is a powerful open-source Android application designed to help users remove unwanted system applications without altering the system partition. Leveraging the capabilities of Magisk and KernelSU, De-Bloater offers a systemless approach to debloating, ensuring that the integrity of the system remains intact.
With De-Bloater, users can effortlessly remove system apps located in directories such as /system, /vendor, and /product. The application operates by creating a Magisk or KernelSU module that masks the selected applications, making them inactive without permanently deleting them. This method ensures that users can restore any removed applications if needed.
To utilize De-Bloater, a device must have root access with a fully functional Magisk or KernelSU environment. It’s important to note that De-Bloater is incompatible with other rooting solutions and will not function in Magisk’s core-only mode.
Key Features:
- Systemless Debloating: Safely remove unwanted system apps without modifying the system partition.
- Easy Restoration: Restore previously removed apps through the application’s interface or by resetting the module.
- Broad Compatibility: Supports removal of apps from multiple system directories.
- User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive design ensures ease of use for both novice and experienced users.
In the event of accidental removal of critical system apps leading to boot loops, users can resolve the issue by deleting the /data/adb/modules/De-bloater directory via recovery mode.
De-Bloater is continuously updated, with the latest version being v0.27, which includes enhanced KernelSU support, a more materialized user interface, and updates to the latest Gradle and dependencies.
The application is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0, ensuring that it remains free and open-source.
