Turns out all the "unremovable" Samsung apps from the android Galaxy A14 can be uninstalled after all. It's convoluted, but worth it: far snappier – far more responsive, less memory usage.

  1. Enable developer options.
  2. Under developer options, enable USB debugging.
  3. connect to a laptop via USB.
  4. Install "adb" (Android Debug Bridge) in the laptop, a command like tool. In Ubuntu 22.04, do "sudo apt install adb". There are packages online for other operating systems.
  5. Discover which apps to remove. Not trivial, but there are various lists of Samsung "bloatware" online.
  6. Then, use adb to discover which packages to remove. For example:

$ adb shell pm list packages | grep facebook

.. and then remove them:

$ adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.facebook.services
$ adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.facebook.system
$ adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.facebook.appmanager

Likewise for Microsoft cruft.

  1. If no apps match the search, then use the "App List" (installable via F-Droid store) to list all user apps or system apps (from a toggle on the top-right menu), which lists all apps by name and with the package name under it.

An app that I removed that indeed drops some possibly valuable services but which greatly improve UI responsiveness:

$ adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.sec.android.daemonapp

The above removes the built-in weather app and various widgets. But suddenly the phone doesn't stall randomly and the UI is snappier than ever.

  1. If you regret uninstalling a package, it can be reinstalled with adb.

BTW don't forget to re-enable using only 1 background thread every time the OneUI is updated. Samsung overwrites that setting.

Since I bought an Android phone, I bought myself an Android watch. A TicWatch Enduro.

I got it on Saturday lunchtime, and it's now Tuesday morning with 16% battery life (with the ability to go all the way down to 5%).

As someone who used an Apple Watch for about 2/3 years, I'm absolutely blown away at this thing!

Hi - I made a game. The biotech experience is full of time crunch, risk management, choosing your exit strategy, and having a twinge of luck. And of course, it is fun 🙂

I've tried to capture all of that in my upcoming video game, Research Rush. Right now, you can play it on Android as part of an Open Beta that went live TODAY:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TerraPrime.ResearchRush

Please, play the first few levels and let me know what you think and how it could be better!

New Device. The "copy all my apps and data files over" is getting much better than it used to be, by why in the name of dog, can they not copy over notification preferences, or add a global default option to be "silent notifications"?

I have to go and manually re-mute almost all the apps.

There are a very few apps I want dinging my phone, ever. Go ahead and give me the dot, and even the one line silent notification at the top, but annoy me once with a ding I didn't need, and muted.

If you're into tower defense games, Anuto TD on Android via F-Droid is a solid FOSS one. Has this charming hand-drawn look to it as well and a number of maps to play with.

Also, and this may just be me, but I really enjoy that it's played in portrait/vertical view instead of landscape/horizontal. Dunno why but I find handling phones in landscape awkward feeling, personally.

Played some more Anuto TD and almost forgot that you can upgrade your structures.

Some require a ridiculous amount to do so, but are well worth it. The glue spewer in particular becomes incredible with upgrades.

@gmr_leon@mstdn.social avatar

For those interested, as mentioned in the first post, you can download Anuto TD for free via F-Droid. Here's a link, which if you've F-Droid or Droidify installed should prompt you to open via them, I think.
