Operating System: Windows 10 Home x64

UAD version: 0.2.1

Logfile (if needed):uad.log

UAD crashes on startup after trying to connect it to an lge LG-M250 (LG K10 2017).
First, it detects the device correctly, then it freezes and lastly, crashes and closes.
adb detects the device correctly, adb is on PATH and needed USB drivers for the device are installed.

I could improve performance by using a child process to launch the adb shell and perform all the commands from there.

At the moment, the adb process is killed after an ADB action

In GitLab by @W1nst0n on Aug 25, 2021, 23:07

Several available options:

• Embed adb inside the program (and write to a temp file to run it)
• adb binary packaged (but outside of the uad-gui binary)
• No adb but add a download button to fetching the lastest adb from developer.android.com so that uad-gui can use it (stored in temp dir?)
• No adb. The user have to install it on its own.

Using the 2 first options implies that we need to update uad-gui whenever adb is updated by Google. The thing is I don't know if we can trust Windows users to have up-to-date ADB...

Note: If adb is shipped with uad-gui, it will only be for Windows build as it is really simple to install and keep updated adb in Linux/MacOS.

I exported a selection, and closed UadGui. I re-opened it while my phone was plugged in, and nothing was selected. I confirmed that uad_selection.txt had all the expected packages listed in it, in the same directory as the exe.
The path has no spaces in it. (C:\Users\User\Downloads\Programs)

Windows 10, version 0.2. Side note, it might be useful to include app version info in the "about" page.
Edit: Confirmed to also not be working on linux. Same error.

Split the current Debloat/Restore selection button into 2 buttons: remove selection and restore selection.

Use case

A user choose some packages to remove from their phone. They decide to save their selection (in uad_exported_selection.txt) [#8] so they can quickly remove them again after a phone update that would have reinstalled some of those apps. After that update, they launch UAD which will automatically select the packages found in uad_exported_selection.txt. All the selected apps are not necessarily enabled apps (the phone update didn't reinstall all the debloated apps). The user only wants to uninstall the one that has been reinstalled.

Every user actions should be logged in a file.

Signing the binary will prevent Windows to display the warning message from Microsoft SmartScreen saying this software is unknown and may not be safe.

A code signing certificate is not free. It's really expensive (like several hundreds euros a year). Certum is the cheapest Certification Authority (CA) I found for an open-source project. It's 25€/year (30€/year with taxes because I'm French) but it won't even remove the SmartScreen warning.

I'd need to pay 250$ minimum per year to remove the warning. It is way too much and I don't want to collect donation for this. This is really a racket.

More info on the reputation system of Microsoft SmartScreen

The thing is there is now a completely new FOSS Signing Service called sigstore which looks amazing but it won't solve the SmartScreen warning issue.

My steps:

1. Open UAD 0.3.0 (Windows)
2. Open settings and change Lupin theme to dark/light
3. Click the refresh package button
4. The app theme will change to Lupin

Closing the app and opening it again after changing theme will also change to Lupin

For future reference I hope - add multiple device support. I always have an emulator running in the background and tried to use this on my phone. Unfortunately this just results in a "adb.exe: more than one device/emulator" which can simply be fixed by listing devices with adb devices then running each command per device with "adb -s " so "adb shell pm list packages" becomes "adb -s emulator-5554 pm list packages"

Thanks!

This tool debloats Windows but it has a GUI which just works and does not flicker and works on all systems including the Compaq 610.

I have a basic pipeline which kinda works in the pipeline-test branch.

• Reduce pipeline duration? (it's 10min right now)
• Add Test
• Automatic release

If you uninstall/restore an app with the package's state filter on, the package list isn't updated.

In GitLab by @W1nst0n on Aug 22, 2021, 02:38

Default state should be All (all lists) and Installed (only installed packages).

Show if the phone is detected or not and display the adb server status + phone's name

This not yet natively supported by Iced but there is a ugly workaround I could use until the feature gets implemented.

EDIT: A "click to copy" feature is probably a better workaround here.

After run this app, .. set to disable selected apps and close and run debloat app lost last settings... now is unstall apps and no disabled in the settings
