    oh they also keep a list of apps that are safe to remove per device manufacturer. If something goes wrong. Open a github issue to warn others about it and so they could update the list.

      Yeah, that’s one of the advantages I see over there (having a list already made for you, which is convenient).

      I mean, the biggest advantage this has over the “standard method” is convenience:

      • you don’t have to do ADB commands
      • you don’t have to keep the list next to your ADB shell
      • you don’t have to even go find a list for your phone model

      Those three alone that I’ve listed already covers most of my pain points in the “standard method,” and for me personally, it already makes for a compelling case.

      However I was wondering if it does something that isn’t possible using ADB. If there’s some feature that it is capable of, but ADB isn’t capable of, then that’d make for an even more compelling case.

        At the end of the day, it is just a GUI for wrapping ADB commands.

        It just makes the deleting and restoring the system apps much easier with just a few clicks, and having list to know which can be safely deleted.

          Alright, got it!‌ Thanks for the recommendation.

          I think what I’d do is to get this for routine cleanup (after a MIUI update, for example), and then run things with ADB for the others that this tool might have missed.
