Your lists is what makes this tool actually powerfull and user-friendly, without your list-contributions this tool can't work standalone. To contribute a list you just need to:
- Create a new repository with a folder called
deviceswhere you: -
- Create your debloating-list(s) in the form of
{type_identifier}.txt
- Create your debloating-list(s) in the form of
-
-
- (use:
hexapterygon --getidto get the{type_identifier})
- (use:
-
- Make a pull-request or open an issue and:
-
- ask to add your repo (see
device_repo_lists)
- ask to add your repo (see
And you are done
Propose whatever you want, just don't mess up with my weird indentation :P
The only documentation that you need is the code itself. JK, it is under construction 🛠️🏗️
My research can be found under my personal debloating list here
How do I install Android SDK Platform Tools?
You either manually download the tools from the link above and install them or use your package manager to install them like for example: sudo pacman -S android-tools (following this video for windows)
How do I make sure Android SDK Platform Tools and
adbare installed?
Just run hexapterygon or the command adb shell while the phone is connected (with USB debugging already enabled), a pop-up message on you phone should show-up, to allow the computer to connect to it
Where are
Device admin appsand what do I disable?
Somewhere under settings, depends on the device.
Why do I get a
github.GithubException.RateLimitExceededExceptionand what can I do?
Most probably because you exceeded the github's limit for requests without a token. To solve this, you can either restart your rooter or provide a classic github-token (without any special permissions checked)
How do i get the {type_identifier}?
Just run the command hexapterygon --getid (while your authorized device is connected)

This is part 1/3 of a software series project called "beyond self destruction" which rises from within one's self. For those wondering: "Debloating Android Devices" = "Uninstalling\Deleting preinstalled unwanted data-collecting\spyware apps and etc." = "better performance" = "Unleashing the power of self destruction"
Just some reminders (related to phone companies):
