Hey all!
I have been playing around with Universal Android Debloater a bit after getting my new S24+ but was wondering to see if there is a noticeable change when getting rid of things like Bixby, AR apps, and mobile carrier bloat (I hate you, Verizon).
Has anyone noticed an increase to battery life or snappiness or is it simply placebo? I never use the apps such as Samsung Smart Call because I use Google’s alternative so having it there would cause SOME sort of power/battery usage, no? I am only touching the “recommended” apps but scared to remove too many things to not completely wreak my install. I don’t wanna select something to have it crash and make things completely unusable.

I take out Google Play Movies/YouTube/YouTube Music etc on every phone I buy these days especially since YT is a website and should not, be a system app and replaced by Newpipe.
Other than that I also like to delete my DCIM folder every now and then since it gets backed up to “my cloud” and seems to keep things, cleaner?
Shout out to SD Maid if you’re keen on cleaning things up?
Buy a phone that didn’t have to much bloat to start with.
One Plus was fairly clean, until watsit left to set up Nothing. Pixel is clean ish but you need a new launcher (hat tip Niagara) and wander through the menus disabling as much as you can of the unneeded Google stuff (actually I disable stuff when it updates through Google Play, I find that easier).
For Christ sake don’t buy a Samsung. I thought that everyone knew that about Samsung. Smh.
Samsung phones come with an absolute shit tonne of bloat
