Google packages, among others.

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5g (Verizon)

com.test.LTEfunctionality

List: OEM Removal: Recommended name:\LTE Functionality Test>

LTE is 4g network. Seems to run when mobile data is on, and uses up a lot of data, at least according to a reddit user with a Samsung Galaxy Note 9. This also tests for VoLTE.

com.google.android.as.oss

Removal: Recommended name:\Private Compute Services
List: Google

Don't know what it is, but this (https://xdaforums.com/t/what-packages-are-safe-to-remove-from-stock-rom.4677814/) says it's Private Compute Services, which is apparently used for Live Caption, Now Playing, and Smart Reply (https://whackdigital.com/private-compute-services-on-android/). It's not used to build their AI's, but for machine-learning tasks (https://techboltify.com/private-compute-services-on-android/). I personally don't use those, so I deleted it; still works fine.

com.google.android.ondevicepersonalization.services

name:\On Device Personalization
list: Google

I still don't know what this is, even after reading this (https://source.android.com/docs/core/ota/modular-system/ondevicepersonalization). Apparently "attempts to create a developer experience that removes bottlenecks that arose from data collection, consent, control and compliance."

com.google.android.sdksandbox

list:Google name:\SDK Sandbox\

This provides API's to load SDKs (https://developer.android.com/design-for-safety/privacy-sandbox/reference/sdksandbox/SdkSandboxManager); an SDK-- software development kit, is "a set of tools that helps you build software for a specific platform, operating system, or service" (https://github.com/resources/articles/what-is-an-sdk).

com.google.android.safetycenter.resources

list: Google

I don't know if this is the same as safety core, but has been coming up for this also. Someone said it used up a lot of their storage though, but idk. (https://support.google.com/android/thread/183671235/google-safety-center-resources-taking-too-much-space-how-to-delete-it?hl=en)

com.google.android.overlay.gmsconfig.geotz

list: Google name:\Ground Overlay\

All I can find about this is that "A ground overlay is an image that is fixed to a map" I have no idea what this does though. Might not have a use if there is no GMS.

com.google.android.overlay.gmsconfig.asi

list: Google

I don't know what this is, but it seems to have been abused (https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2024/06/explained-android-overlays-and-how-they-are-used-to-trick-people https://www.nowsecure.com/blog/2017/05/25/android-overlay-malware-system-alert-window-permission/). It seems to cause a lot of errors when deleted though, at least according to this (https://github.com/MuntashirAkon/android-debloat-list/issues/58).

com.google.android.overlay.modules.captiveportallogin.forframework

list:Google name\Captive Portal Login\

Captive Portal Login "automatically shows the screen where you have to introduce the proper credentials when accessing some public network that requires credentials for access" (https://whatisthisapp.com/android/captiveportallogin/)

com.google.android.adservices.api

list: Google

Safe to delete. It's apparently privacy sandbox beta components (https://adl.muntashir.dev/bloatware/com.google.android.adservices.api.html)

com.sec.android.dexsystemui

list:OEM name:\Samsung DeX System UI\

Safe to remove; might break DeX though. (https://adl.muntashir.dev/bloatware/com.sec.android.dexsystemui.html).

com.sec.facatfunction

list:OEM name:\FacAtFunction\

Safe to remove, used to for face unlock, and other facial related features. (https://adl.muntashir.dev/bloatware/com.sec.facatfunction.html) https://reddit.com/r/samsunggalaxy/comments/156yc76/what_is_the_facatfunction_app_for/)

com.sec.android.iaft

list: OEM name:\IAFT\

Apparently controls the CPU and performance of games by disabling some features and processes (reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/11t5jja/anyone_know_what_this_app_is_for/k8knn5j/)

com.sec.android.CcInfo

list: OEM Removal: Recommended

Samsung Logs/Analytics (https://adl.muntashir.dev/bloatware/com.sec.android.CcInfo.html);

com.sec.android.app.ve.vebgm

list: OEM name:\Samsung Editing Assets
Removal: Recommended

Lets you choose background music from the video editor app, useless if you don't edit or record videos and pictures on you're phone, plus there is much better editors out there. (https://adl.muntashir.dev/bloatware/com.sec.android.app.ve.vebgm.html)

This is for Verizon activation and removal.

Also this package com.samsung.android.providers.contacts broke messaging and calling for me, so that needs to be added to it's description, this (https://adl.muntashir.dev/bloatware/com.samsung.android.providers.contacts.html) also says that it breaks it if it is deleted
