De Bloater
De-Bloater uses Magisk, KernelSU, or APatch to remove unwanted system apps without modifying the system partition.
About De Bloater
De-Bloater removes unwanted system apps systemlessly using Magisk, KernelSU, or APatch. It creates a module named De-bloater that replaces selected APKs from locations such as /system, /vendor, and /product.
It requires root access and a fully functional Magisk, KernelSU, or APatch environment with modules, and does not work with other rooting solutions or Magisk core-only mode. Removals and restores require a reboot, and removed apps can be restored selectively or by resetting the module.
