About
CleanYourMobile is a safety-first debloater for Android phones. It removes carrier bloat, lock screen ad carousels (Glance, magazine feeds), vendor ad services (MIUI MSA), background telemetry and duplicated manufacturer apps, from a computer over USB or Wi-Fi, or from the phone itself through Shizuku. Nothing is touched until you approve the plan.
Inspired by CleanYourTV, it brings the same transparent, reversible approach to phones:
- No root — standard Android Debug Bridge (
adb) commands only:pm uninstall -k --user 0andpm disable-user --user 0. - Nothing permanently deleted — the read-only system partition is never written. A reboot or the restore script undoes a mistake, and a factory reset brings back every system package.
- An audited offline database — 537 packages across 15 brand families, each saying what it does and what breaks if it goes.
- A four-layer guard — 207 never-touch entries (phone calls, SMS, emergency alerts, SIM, camera, keyboard, Play Services and more), a protected-name pattern, the launcher and keyboard you are using right now, and system apps only.
- A restore record first — written before the first package comes off, not after the last.
Start here
There are three ways to use this, in order of how much you have to set up.
| You have | Go to | Effort |
|---|---|---|
| Only the phone | The Android app — CleanYourMobile.apk runs on the phone through Shizuku, Android 11+ |
Lowest |
| A phone and a computer | Quick start — a coding assistant does the work in about ten minutes | Low |
| A computer, no assistant | Doing it by hand — the same scripts, run by you. The best-tested path | Medium |
| An iPhone | Nothing here applies. iOS has no debug bridge of this kind and no preinstalled bloat to remove | — |
| Want to see it first | What a scan looks like — output from a real phone | — |

The Android app
CleanYourMobile.apk runs the same database and guard on the phone itself,
with no computer involved once Shizuku is started. The source is in
android/.
 |
 |
| Dark, true OLED black | Light |
It is a reference implementation, not a product. It exists to show that the database and the guard port cleanly to Android. For everyday use on a phone, Canta is more mature, more complete and has thousands of users; the honest comparison is in the FAQ.
Installing it
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1. Shizuku | Install it from the GitHub release, not the Play Store build, which is older and has no Android 16 support. |
| 2. Start it | Pair over Wireless debugging on Android 11+, or start it from a computer over ADB. Android clears it on every reboot, so this has to be done again after each restart unless the phone is rooted. |
| 3. Install the APK | Download CleanYourMobile.apk and open it. Android will ask you to allow installs from your browser or file manager. |
| 4. Grant access | Open the app and tap Grant access; Shizuku asks you to confirm. |
The app needs Android 8.0 (API 26) or newer; starting Shizuku without a computer needs Android 11.
What it does
| Reads the same database | database/ is copied in at build time, so a fresh build always carries the current copy. The published APK carries the database as it was at its release. |
| Detects the brand | The same scoring as tools/cym.py, including the alias bonus that catches "Redmi" and "iQOO" reporting themselves as something other than their maker. The brand's notes appear at the top of the screen. |
| Shows what you lose | Every row carries its if_removed line, which is the field this whole project exists for. |
| Sorts by impact | Advertising and telemetry first, manufacturer features last. A separate axis from the safety rating: a preinstalled compass and a lock-screen ad carousel are both "Recommended", but only one is doing you harm. |
| Refuses what it must | The same checks as the scripts: the never-touch list, an Unsafe rating, the protected-name pattern, the launcher and keyboard in use, and system apps only. On a OnePlus 10 Pro it holds back 112 packages. |
| Backs up first | Before the very first change it saves every installed package, which ones were already off, and the build. A restore record is written before the first package comes off, and the undo commands can be exported as a text file. |
| Disables, never deletes | pm disable-user --user 0. Restore all switches everything back on. |
| Shows what it cannot rate | A package the database has no entry for is listed under Unrated rather than quietly left out. It is shown and never offered: an unrated package is evidence for a human, not a verdict. |
| Presets | Export preset saves what you actually switched off as a portable JSON profile; Import preset reads one from a file or the clipboard, re-checks every package against the database and the guard, and then only ticks the boxes. Nothing is applied by an import. The format is the same one tools/preset.py reads, so a profile moves between a phone and a computer either way. |
| Light or dark | Chosen under Appearance: follow the system, light, or true #000000 OLED dark, the default. Every text colour passes the 4.5:1 contrast requirement against its background. |
What is verified, and what is not
Tested on a OnePlus 10 Pro (NE2213), Android 16, OxygenOS 16.0.3:
| Verified on hardware | Not yet exercised |
|---|---|
| Scan, brand detection, the guard holding back 112 packages | Uninstall mode — the code exists but the interface only calls disable |
| All four Shizuku states, and the permission grant | Batching at scale: every test run has been a single package |
The privileged disable (enabled 0 → 3) and restore (3 → 1) |
The three-consecutive-failure abort |
| The backup snapshot and the exported undo file | The between-batch health check |
| The light and dark themes, search, filters, selection | Any phone other than the one above |
Preset export and import and the Unrated list compile, and their validation is covered by the command-line twin, but neither has been run on a phone yet.
The command-line tools are the better-tested path by a wide margin: they have been run against OnePlus and vivo phones, including a real 32-package removal, which is where most of this project's bugs were found.
