Android Device Optimizer

An Agent Skill that analyzes and optimizes Android devices connected via ADB. It detects bloatware, background services, memory hogs, and duplicate apps, then interactively disables or uninstalls them in user-approved batches.

What it does

Identifies your device (brand, model, chipset, RAM, battery, Android skin)
Detects the ROM/skin (MIUI, OneUI, ColorOS, OxygenOS) and adjusts safety thresholds
Pulls installed packages, running services, and memory usage
Cross-references against a known bloatware database (Motorola, Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Google, carrier bloat)
Classifies packages into safety tiers (SAFE / CAUTION / DANGEROUS)
Creates a restore point before making changes
Organizes findings into batches and prompts you before each one
Removes DANGEROUS packages one at a time with reboot verification
Shows before/after metrics (RAM freed, services reduced)
Includes recovery procedures for boot loops

Install

npx skills add icaroharry/android-device-optimizer

Requirements

ADB installed and in PATH
An Android device with USB debugging enabled

The skill includes setup instructions for enabling Developer Mode and installing ADB if needed.

Supported OEMs

The bloatware database includes entries for:

Motorola — telemetry, desktop mode, game mode, AI services
Samsung — Bixby, AR Zone, game tools, diagnostics
Xiaomi / Redmi / POCO — analytics, MSA, Joyose, cloud services, game center
OnePlus — bug reports, OShare, HeyTap bloat
Google — pre-installed apps with unnecessary background services
Carrier bloat — DTI, Taboola, Aura, regional carrier apps

How it works

The agent follows a 6-phase workflow:

Discover — detect devices, collect specs, identify Android skin
Analyze — pull packages, services, memory usage
Backup — save restore point of all installed packages
Classify — assign safety tiers, organize into batches
Execute — prompt the user per batch; DANGEROUS packages removed one at a time with reboot verification
Verify — show before/after comparison

All changes are reversible:

Packages are removed with pm uninstall -k --user 0 (keeps data, reinstallable)
Can be restored with cmd package install-existing <package>
If a boot loop occurs, the parallel restore technique can recover the device

Safety tiers

Tier	Risk	Strategy
SAFE	No boot risk	Remove in batches
CAUTION	May affect OEM features	Remove in small groups (max 5)
DANGEROUS	Can cause boot loops	Remove one at a time, reboot after each
