## General
<p style="text-align: justify;"><tab1>De-Bloater is an application using the power of Magisk/Kernel SU/APatch to de-bloat unwanted applications systemless-ly. The application is available to download via <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sunilpaulmathew.debloater" target="_blank">Google Play</a> or <a href="https://f-droid.org/packages/com.sunilpaulmathew.debloater" target="_blank">F-Droid</a>.</tab1></p>
### Requirement
<p style="text-align: justify;"><tab1>De-Bloater requires <b>Root Access</b> and a fully functional <b>Magisk</b> or Kernel SU/APatch environment, including modules, for proper working. As a result, De-Bloater won't work with other rooting solutions as well as in Magisk core-only mode.</tab1></p>
### How to Use
<p style="text-align: justify;"><tab1>Open the app, click the remove button on each app you want to remove. The selected apps will be removed systemless-ly after a reboot. To restore an app, selectively restore it from the second page (Inactive Applications) of De-Bloater. Please note that a restart is necessary to get any of these changes in effect.</tab1></p>
### How it works
<p style="text-align: justify;"><tab1>The app will systemless-ly replace the selected APKs by making a Magisk/Kernel SU/APatch module. As a result, you will see a new Module (name: De-bloater).</tab1></p>
### Troubleshooting
<p style="text-align: justify;"><tab1>In case, if you accidentally remove some important apps and your phone bootloops, please delete <b>"/data/adb/modules/De-bloater"</b> via recovery.</tab1></p>
