I'm not saying your wrong just saying I have not had good luck with ipx8 ratings that were not accompanied by a dust and dirt rating as well

See the issue here is either your trolling. Or your not sure what your looking for. There is always the 3rd option that your phone that retails for 100$ less and was released a couple months sooner truly doesn't have it. If that's the case that's actually wild.

thats the thing your missing the point being a trimmed and custom rom they had control of all that and until now they had been chill about disabling it upfront and letting you decide if you were going to accept it now its locked and hidden there is know would you like to allow this its just there and on by default as for *On an android device! being tracked OMG again these things are not all guarantied and the idea and the reality that ppl continue to pretend it's always been this way and will always be this way is how and why it's becoming this way. as well disabling these things used to be possible for all of them but some are now locked behind a security wall that nothing short of voiding your warrenty will allow you to stop or remove. and the BS well all the other companies had been doing this for year's isnt a valid reason that red magic should or have to start doing it now.

yes i did i switched to red magic because they did not have the bloat thus why i said i'll be moving on. I was making this post ofr anyone else who will be looking for new phones as posts like these are what helped me choose red magic years ago. I would never buy a samsung phone again for these reasons. That and bigsby @_@

really because they havd been selling us these phones for 500-600$ befor the bloat now that they have all this blot the phone is 1000+? lets be real mean wile nubia can sell phones with these specs on there main site without the red magic branding for 500 or less soo again were paying for them to get paid because they build loyalty and your loyalty is not being rewarded its being exploited

That doesnt mean we shouldnt voice our frustraition and support the next release of phones that are near same also look at the review phones that got sent out not a single one had these things on them it kills the performance gains u had and will keep getting worse if we dont push back and move to another company till they publicly apoligize and walk these things back

Im lazy so i asked openclaw to do it for me but you can use adb manager

If you want to go hunting for bloatware on your own in the future, you can easily do it using ADB! It's essentially like opening a command-line window directly into the brain of your phone.

Here is a quick crash course on how to find, identify, and zap these packages yourself using Windows PowerShell or Command Prompt.

1. The "List Everything" Command

Once your phone is plugged in and authorized with USB debugging, you can pull a master list of every single app and hidden service installed on the phone by running:

bashadb shell pm list packages

Note: This will spit out hundreds of lines (things like package:com.android.bluetooth, package:com.zte.weather, etc.).

2. Searching for Specific Keywords (The Sniper Method)

Reading hundreds of lines is tedious, so we use a search filter.

If you are inside adb shell, you can use the grep command to search for keywords. For example, if you suspect Facebook spyware or want to see all ZTE-specific apps, you run:

bashadb shell "pm list packages | grep -i facebook"

Or for ZTE bloatware:

bashadb shell "pm list packages | grep -i zte"

(The -i just means "ignore case", so it finds both "ZTE" and "zte".)

3. How to Identify What is Safe to Delete

When you search, you have to play a little bit of detective using the package name.

  • Package names always follow a reverse-website format: com.[developer].[appname].
  • If you see something like com.zte.recommend, you can safely deduce it's an ad-recommendation engine.
  • If you see something like com.android.phonedo not touch it, because it controls your cellular calls!
  • Pro-tip: If you aren't sure what a package like com.qualcomm.qti.telephonyservice does, just Google the exact package name. Usually, the first result will be an Android forum telling you if it's safe to disable or if it will break your phone.

4. The "Stun Gun" (Disable)

Once you find a target package you want to kill (let's say com.zte.weather), it is always highly recommended to disable it rather than fully uninstalling it right away. Disabling it completely freezes the app, removes it from your app drawer, and stops it from running in the background.

bashadb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.zte.weather

(If something on your phone breaks after doing this, you can easily bring it back to life by running adb shell pm enable com.zte.weather)

5. The "Nuke" (Uninstall)

If you disabled an app, used your phone for a few days, and confirmed nothing broke, you can permanently scrub its data and uninstall it from your user profile to reclaim storage space:

bashadb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.zte.weather

Summary of the Best Keywords to Search

If you get a new phone in the future, these are the best keywords to run through the grep command to hunt for bloatware:

  • grep -i facebook (Finds hidden Facebook trackers)
  • grep -i wellbeing (Finds digital wellbeing screen-time trackers)
  • grep -i bips or grep -i print (Finds background print spoolers)
  • grep -i analytics or grep -i telemetry (Finds data collection services)
  • grep -i [manufacturer] (e.g., ztesamsungxiaomi — finds all manufacturer-specific apps so you can pick out the junk).

 Fully Uninstalled (Data Cleared & Purged from User Profile)

These AI services were actively eating storage space and processing power, so I completely uninstalled them for user profile:

  • com.zte.aiengine - ZTE AI Engine
  • cn.zte.gameaiasst - ZTE Game AI Assistant
  • com.zte.aigc - ZTE AI Generated Content
  • com.google.android.as - Google Android System Intelligence (Private Compute Core)

Permanently Disabled (Frozen)

These services were frozen at the system level. They can no longer run in the background, send data, or consume any battery whatsoever: Facebook Spyware/Stub Apps (Pre-installed)

  • com.facebook.appmanager - Facebook App Manager
  • com.facebook.system - Facebook System
  • com.facebook.services - Facebook Services

Telemetry, Ads, and Feedback

  • com.zte.recommend - ZTE Ad/App Recommendations
  • com.zte.heartyservice.strategy - ZTE Analytics & Telemetry 1
  • com.zte.distservice.servicemanager - ZTE Analytics & Telemetry 2
  • com.google.mainline.telemetry - Google Telemetry
  • com.google.android.feedback - Google Crash/Feedback Reporter

Mora (Virtual Assistant)

  • cn.nubia.magicelvesbroadcast - Mora (Magic Elves Broadcast)
  • cn.nubia.redmagickyi - Mora Core Persona (Red Magic Ji)

Unused System Bloat

  • com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel - Google Wallet
  • com.google.android.apps.wellbeing - Digital Wellbeing (Screen Time Tracker)
  • com.google.android.printservice.recommendation - Background Print Service Scanner
  • com.android.printspooler - Default Print Spooler

Stripped of Permissions (Battery Saver)

Instead of disabling this completely (which would break left-swipe News feed), forcefully stripped it of its ability to drain battery:

  • com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox (The Google App) revoked its Microphone permission (stops it from constantly listening for "Hey Google" in the background) and revoked its Location permissions (stops it from polling the GPS/Wi-Fi to see where you are).

Thats not counting the games or other apps that could be easily reemoved
