Video Description
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you've ever uninstalled bloatware apps using an ADB shell command, and you wanted to install that application again, then follow along in this video as I'll show you how to bring back those pre-installed apps which were removed using ADB.
Android smartphones come with a lot of pre-installed applications right out of the box. Some of these apps are really useful and ones that we use every single day. But other times we get apps or games which we don't want and never plan on using.
One of the first things many people do when they set up a new phone is they go in and uninstall all of the bloatware they do not want on their phone. Many of these apps can be uninstalled through traditional methods but there are some that are classified as "system apps" and those can't be uninstalled like regular applications and games.
So I have many videos on my channel here that can help people who want to minimize the apps and services they have running on their smartphones or tablets. This process doesn't require root access but does mean that you need to have ADB & Fastboot tools installed so you can execute a couple of ADB commands.
Now I've shown you how to uninstall those apps from the current user profile in previous videos, so I won't go over that today. Instead, I want to talk about what you can do if you uninstalled one of these apps or services by accident. Since we're using the command prompt to uninstall them, there are times when we can't just install them again from the Android OS.
So in today's video I'll be showing you the command you can use that will reinstall those previously removed bloatware apps using the install-existing command.
For us to complete this tutorial, you are going to need to have some things set up ahead of time. For instance, we need to have ADB & Fastboot tools installed so that we can execute that ADB Shell command. Not only that, but you need to have USB Debugging Mode enabled on your device too. And lastly, we are also going to need to know the package name of the app you want to reinstalled.
I have videos on my channel that have covered these methods and I'll be linking to them in the video description below for anyone who needs help getting up to speed here.
Once we have all of that set up, we can begin the process of getting our bloatware back.
[example on screen]
Now I do know that some people will accidentally uninstall system apps which are required in order to boot into the Android OS. In those cases, you likely won't be able to access Android like you normally would since you're likely dealing with issues like the constant force closing of apps, or even a bootloop.
In those situations, a comment here on the channel reminded me that we can boot the phone into Safe Mode first, if needed. Booting into safe mode should eliminate any force closes and bootloop issues that were caused by disabling the wrong application.
So, if for example, you disabled the Google Play Services app and can no longer boot into Android normally to issue these ADB Shell commands, then first try booting into Safe Mode and then following this tutorial here.

Is there a command to install all of the uninstalled packages at once?
sadly no, you need to do the one by one
@@ExplainingAndroidlazy guy here 😂
Didn't work as it says unknown command
what if I cannot recall the name of the package?
If you know what app is, search from any website and take a look to the package name
Hey, as always great video! So after i used ur tutorial to downgrade from one ui 3.1 to 2.0 i debloated my phone once again and i found out that the google play services were not making trouble, i could uninstall it without any issues and no bootloop. I guess it might've been another system app i accidently uninstalled...
that's good to know. we have to be careful about what we disable like that :)
disable adb??????????
you use adb in which interesting cases the video I thought the developers had solved for the commands we have: adb, adb fastboot, fastboot, SDK tool we just need to mount a locomotive. 😂
