GitHub - 0x192/universal-android-debloater: Cross-platform GUI written in Rust using ADB to debloat non-rooted android devices. Improve your privacy, the security and battery life of your device.
github.comI just discovered this amazing app! It lets you remove (or just disable) preinstalled apps like Facebook, Netflix, etc. and system apps like samsung knox apps, diagnostic, bixby, and even One UI (but you must have installed other launcher). You can’t brick your device, worst case it falls into a boot loop and after 5 reboots it will factory reset.
Debloating your device will make it faster, more private and more secure (less atack surface).

Can this clean up my Kindle fire tablet from 2017?
For Kindles, the Fire Toolbox will get you sorted if you’re below FireOS 7.3.2.2. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/windows-linux-tool-fire-toolbox-v32-2.3889604/
Fire Toolbox is the only one that I’m familiar with. It’s less cleanup and more hiding a bunch of stuff. Adding a bootloader and disabling some of the Amazon tracking.
I don’t think there’s any programs that allow you to straight up nuke the Amazon firmware and side?load your own android or tablet OS.
I see I’m using Amazon toolbox and yeah it just layers a nice launcher and hides Amazon crap. Doesn’t really sets a clean android install. I would love a nuke option for these tablets.
If it runs Android and if you can enable usb debugging in developer settings than yes, otherwise no.
