    I believe they meant the latter

    try to disable "youtube" or "googly play music" or "google assistant" or those pesky xiaomi/realme/samsung bloatware. the custom roms do not support disabling most "system apps" which are possible in stock android as is on my phone

      You can uninstall then via "adb shell", just not from the UI. But no matter what, some get reinstalled when you get a system update. I've made it a habit to do the following when updating: 1. Download the update but don't run it immediately. 2. Disable internet connections (WiFi and SIM). 3. Apply the update. 4. Enable NoRootFirewall after restart. 5. Connect a USB and run adb shell. 6. Execute uninstall commands for all the apps I previously uninstalled (I kept a list). 7. Enable internet. 8. Keep an eye on NoRootFirewall for new weird apps and add them to the kill list. I hate owning a "smart" phone but I need it... so all I can do is suffer.

        i have previously used adb shell to remove apps from realme phones but a lot refused to get disabled. the stock in moto g30 OTOH lets me disable play store not to talk about other apps.
