Before we start the guide, let’s first accept the fact that OxygenOS, Custom Android Skin used on OnePlus Devices, is one of the cleaner Custom Skins in the market. OxygenOS pretty much gives the feel of Vanilla Android. That said, Oxygen OS is still a custom OEM skin. Therefore, it still has some bloatware on it. In this Android Tutorial, we are going to tell you How to Remove Bloatware on OnePlus Devices.
There are many ways through which you can remove bloatware on an Android Device. If you don’t want to root your device and want to manually remove the bloatware, it’s quite possible. But such procedures are lengthy and you have to go about removing each and every app yourself. If you do prefer a script which removes all the bloatware at once, you’ll need a rooted OnePlus device with a custom recovery.
Tomatot Debloater is a script which debloat OnePlus Devices running OxygenOS 9.0. The developer has actually developer three scripts by the name of Invisible, Light, and Extreme. The first script is called Invisible and it will only remove the apps related to telemetry or that don’t have any function. The second script Light removes even more apps which developer thinks are not necessary. The third script is named Extreme as it removes the Invisible and Light Apps along with Google Apps and other features which are not unnecessary in the view of Developer. You can always reinstall Google Apps from Play Store though. Below are the links to all three scripts.
