Its unbelievable how much bloatware apps are installed by defualt on Oppo phones. But there is a way to remove them using some simple command-line tools.
Follow this guide to install ADB:
To install ADB go here:
In Windows 10 using powershell, launch ADB as follows
cmd /c adb shell
Most of the bloatware is installed under the package "com.coloros"
pm list packages | grep coloros
Here are the commands I used for removing the bloatware apps:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.gamespace
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.weather.service
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.weather2
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.gallergy3d
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.musiclink
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.phonemanager
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.calculator
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.screenrecorder
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.alarmclock
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.compass2
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.oppomultiapp
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.soundrecorder
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.oppopods
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.onekeylockscreen
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.video
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.coloros.
That cleaned up quite a bit and removed icons from the screen.
Unfortunately, there were some apps I couldn't remove such as the Oppo Contacts, and Clone Phone.
I'd be interested to hear if anybody figured out how to remove them, or other bloatware found on their phone.
Restore uninstalled apps
The apps are not really deleted, they're just hidden. To view a list of all packages including the uninstalled apps usepm list packages -u | grep coloros
To restore an app in adb shell
cmd package install-existing com.coloros.usbselection
Good luck
