How to remove bloatware from android without root using adb only

  1. Make sure that USB debugging is enabled.
  2. Deactivate all bloatware apps.
  3. List the names of all deactivated packages:
$ adb shell pm list packages -d

I redirected this into a file and filtered google packages and removed the prefixc:

$ adb shell pm list packages -d | grep -v 'com.google' | sed -e 's/^package://' > /tmp/deactivated-packages
  1. Uninstall the packages
# either one-by-one
$ adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package-name>
# or use the list
$ for p in $(cat /tmp/deactivated-packages); do adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 "$p"; done

Voila!
