Clone https://github.com/Rovoxia/AI-Phone-Debloater.git, navigate into the repository, and help me safely debloat my connected Android device via ADB. First, run 'python scripts/debloat-engine.py scan' and display a clear breakdown of my device details and detected bloatware packages. Next, explicitly ask me which debloat tier I want to apply (defaulting to Tier 1 — Safe if I press Enter or don't specify) and whether I want to run a Dry-Run simulation first to preview the package list. Once I confirm my choices, take an automatic pre-debloat snapshot/backup, and execute the debloat while strictly preserving all personal data and user files.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rootless Android debloating, safety boundaries, data protection, and AI agent execution.

Does AI-Phone-Debloater require root access or an unlocked bootloader?

No. AI-Phone-Debloater is 100% rootless and does not require an unlocked bootloader. It operates exclusively via standard Android Debug Bridge (ADB) commands targeting user profile 0 (`pm disable-user --user 0` and `pm uninstall -k --user 0`). Your Knox counter remains 0x0, warranty is intact, and Google Play Integrity API / SafetyNet continues to pass for banking apps.

Will debloating delete my WhatsApp messages, photos, contacts, or personal files?

No. Zero personal data loss is guaranteed. The engine operates using the `-k` flag (`pm uninstall -k --user 0`), which explicitly instructs the Android Package Manager to keep all application data directories (`/data/user/0/<package>`) intact. Furthermore, your personal media, photos, downloads, and contacts are stored in shared storage partitions (`/data/media`), which are never touched.

How do I restore an app or rollback if something breaks?

Every debloat operation automatically creates a timestamped JSON backup snapshot in `backups/`. To restore all apps to their exact prior state in under 2 seconds, run `python scripts/debloat-engine.py restore <snapshot.json>`. To restore a single app by name without a snapshot, run `python scripts/debloat-engine.py restore --pkg <package_name>`. The app is immediately re-enabled via `cmd package install-existing` with all user accounts and settings intact.

What happens after an Android OTA system update?

When an OEM pushes an over-the-air (OTA) system update (e.g., from Android 14 to Android 15), the OEM installer may re-enable some disabled default packages during framework re-registration. Your personal data is completely safe. If any bloatware returns after an update, simply plug your phone in and re-run the 1-click prompt or `python scripts/debloat-engine.py debloat --tier 1` to clean it again in seconds.

How does AI-Phone-Debloater work with Claude Code, Gemini, and ChatGPT?

The repository contains curated AI agent prompts in `prompts/`. When you paste the 1-click prompt into Claude Code CLI, ChatGPT, or Gemini, the AI agent inspects your device via ADB, classifies detected packages using the 320+ OEM rule database, simulates a dry-run, takes a pre-debloat snapshot, and debloats safe packages while strictly obeying the 61-package critical blacklist sentinel.

Does debloating void my phone's warranty or trip Knox / SafetyNet?

No. Because the bootloader remains locked and no root binaries (like Magisk or KernelSU) are installed, Samsung Knox warranty bit stays permanently at 0x0 (void: 0). Google Play Integrity API passes all device attestation checks, and banking apps, Google Wallet, and Netflix HD DRM (Widevine L1) continue working normally.

What Android versions and smartphone brands are supported?

AI-Phone-Debloater supports any Android device running Android 8.0 (Oreo) through Android 15+. It includes 320+ verified OEM rules specifically tailored for Samsung (One UI 7/6/5), Xiaomi/Redmi/POCO (HyperOS & MIUI), Google Pixel, OnePlus (OxygenOS), BBK (Oppo ColorOS, Vivo OriginOS, Realme UI), Motorola (Hello UI & My UX), and Transsion (Tecno HiOS, Infinix XOS).
