The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

The sections should follow the order Apps, Added, Changed, Fixed, Packaging and Removed.

[0.6] - Unreleased

WARNING: Settings specification has changed. Previous user settings will be erased.

Added

  • [#374] Device-specific persistent configuration: Some settings are now device-specific which means you can maintain different settings across several devices.

  • [#447] Backup/Restore the state of a device: Quick and easy way to save the state of all the system apps on a device and restore it.

  • [#450] Warn the user when a work profile is detected: Displays a warning message when switching to a work profile user and displays unavailable work profile users in the settings.

Changed

  • [#374] ALL settings are now persistent.

Fixed

  • [#448] UAD crash when interacting with work profiles on recent phones.

Removed

  • The Export current selection button and the unintuitive auto import selection (see #192) have been replaced by the new backup/restore system.

[0.5.1] - 2022-07-03

Since 0.5.0, all changes related to apps are available to users without downloading a new version of UAD as the software directly download the json debloat list from Github. These changes can be tracked in commits with [Pkg] in their name. See the commits

Added

  • [#209] Persistent highlighting when you click on a package

Changed

  • neededBy and dependencies field can now list multiple packages (feature not visible in the UI yet)

Fixed

  • [#286] UAD stuck on "Downloading UAD lists. Please wait" screen

Packaging

  • [#256] Fixed typo in the release name of the noseflupdate variation
  • Bump dependencies

[0.5.0] - 2022-04-03

Apps

  • [#115] Added com.tblenovo.lenovotips to the recommended list.
  • [#120] Move Google keyboard to Advanced list (Default keyboards should not be in the Recommended list)
  • [#169 Move com.android.htmlviewer to the Expert list. Removing it bootloop the device on MIUI 12.5.4+.

Huge thanks to @KarlRamstedt for their help in this major debloat list update:

  • [#122] Added a bunch of new packages
  • [#122] A lot of description updates and fixes
  • [#122 | #138] Big revision of the recommendations according to more consistent criteria (see the wiki)

Added

  • [#68] Unselect all button: Let's you unselect all the packages you see on screen (i.e in the current filtered list).
  • [#119] Reboot button: Let's you quickly reboot the currently selected device.
  • [#110] Remote uad_lists.json download: The debloat list is now directly fetched from the main branch of this repo when you launch UAD. This means there is no longer the need to release a new version of UAD for updating the debloat lists! 🚀
  • [#121] 🔄 UAD self-update: UAD will now check at launch if there is a new version of itself and enable you to perform the update directly from the app! 🚀

Changed

  • [#165] UAD now tries every 500ms (for 1min) to initiate an ADB connection until a device is found during the FindingPhones loading state.
  • All the init process was reworked and a status message is displayed at each stage (DownloadingList, FindingPhones,LoadingPackages,UpdatingUad Ready) so you know what is happening.
  • Minor UI changes

Packaging

  • Add a no-self-update build for MacOS and Linux. Useful if UAD is distributed into repositories. The update process will then be managed by a package manager.
  • MacOS builds are now also be released as a compressed tarball (like for Linux). You won't need to manually add the executable permission anymore. (more info)
  • Bump dependencies

[0.4.1] - 2022-01-31

Fixed

  • Selection counter never decreasing.

[0.4] - 2022-01-30

Apps

  • [#92] Added 3 Fairphone packages + 7 Qualcomm packages (thanks @VeH-c)
  • [#87] Added 2 Unihertz packages (thanks @rar0ch)
  • [#52] Added uk.co.ee.myee to the debloat lists (thanks @lawson58).
  • [#58] Added android to the debloat lists with the tag Unsafe.
  • Added 2 new Xiaomi packages to the Recommended list.
  • Multiple package description improvement (thanks @jonas-ott and @felurx for the help)
  • Review of the package lists recommendations. The Recommended debloat list is now safer (less likely to remove something you'd want to keep).

Added

  • [#49] Multi-device support: You are now able to select a device among the list of all ADB connected devices/emulators.
  • [#44] Persistent settings: Settings (only theme for now) are saved to a config file. Its location follows the standards of the different OS.
  • Links to the Github page, wiki, github issues and logfiles in the About page.

Changed

  • [#65] ADB commands now run in parallel and asynchronously! This means no more UI freeze when performing long/many actions! 🚀
  • UI now updates itself in real time when performing ADB actions (thanks to async & multithreading). Before, it waited for the end of all actions.
  • Logfiles are now located in a more conventional place: cache_dir.
  • Previous logs are no longer overwritten. The logger now only appends to the current logfile of the day (UAD_%Y%m%d.log).
  • Each new day the logger will create a new file on UAD launch.
  • [#78] Disable mode is now only available on Android 6+ because the disable ADB commands do not work without root on older devices. The setting will be greyed-out for those devices.
  • Minor light theme update

Fixed

  • [#50] Resync button flipping theme back to Lupin.
  • [Regression (048e7f)] Weird disabled/greyed action button with older devices (< Android 8.0). Package could be selected but no action was performed.
  • [#78] Packages not being actually uninstalled on older devices (< Android 6.0). Without root we can only use pm block/pm unblock for Android KitKit (4.4) and pm hide/pm unhide on Android Lollipop (5.x).

Packaging

  • For Arch-based users, UAD is now available in the AUR: universal-android-debloater-bin (binary) and universal-android-debloater (from source)
  • Bump dependencies

[0.3] - 2021-10-10

Added

  • [#16] Multi-user support: You can now debloat/restore apps for any user of the phone (not only the primary user 0).
    • Multi user mode setting (default to on for Android 5+) allowing to remove packages for all users (a work profile is another user) instead of only the selected user.
    • User switcher (picklist).
  • [#11] New themes: light, dark and lupin. Lupin theme is now the new default theme. Themes can be changed from the settings.
  • [#40] Description field scrollbar: you can now scroll long descriptions.

Fixed

  • [Regression] Unsafe packages can be deleted without enabling expert mode.
  • The refresh button doesn't update settings when a (new) phone is connected.
  • [Regression] Restore buttons are disabled when connecting an Android 8.0 phone.
  • [#17] Refresh icon does not appear.

[0.2.2] - 2021-09-30

Fixed

  • Crash when connecting a LG device (#33)

[0.2.1] - 2021-09-28

Added

  • Software version in the navigation panel

Packaging

  • wgpu renderer is not the default renderer (you don't need to add --features wgpu if you want to build UAD with wgpu)

Fixed

  • [#35] Exported selection not found

[0.2] - 2021-09-26

Added

  • [#2] UAD now comes with a logger. Debug information will be written to a uad.log file (Warning level log in stdout)
  • [#15] Support for older phone (< Android 8.0):
  • Disable mode in settings: clear and disable packages instead of uninstalling them (default for old phones because you can't restore uninstalled packages)
  • [#8] Export your selection in the uad_exported_selection.txt file. Packages from this file (if found in the current directory) will be automatically selected upon the start of UAD (or after a refresh).

Changed

  • [#25] UAD will no longer crash at start if it doesn't find ADB but will display a useful error message
  • [#3] Better handling of ADB errors
  • Updated dependencies (compatibility with Iced main branch latest commit)
  • Cleanup and refactoring of the code
  • Performance improvement
  • Various UI/UX improvement
  • The Debloat/Restore selection button has been split in 2 buttons: removing and restoring

Packaging

  • Added an alternative build that uses OpenGL (instead of Vulkan) for compatibility with older computers. If you encouter some visual glitches with the default Vulkan build you should try the OpenGL build.

Fixed

  • Spelling mistake
  • Failed build with MSVC toolchain
