Universal Android Debloater Next Generation is a cross-platform desktop application for removing pre-installed system applications from Android devices. It communicates with devices through the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) protocol, supporting both wired USB connections and wireless network pairing for debloating without a physical cable. The tool manages multiple connected Android devices simultaneously and provides package state backup and restore capabilities, allowing users to save and reapply the enabled or disabled state of system packages after factory resets or OS upgrades.
The application distinguishes itself through community-driven package metadata stored in JSON files, which include safety ratings and category labels for each system app. It downloads and caches package removal recommendations from a remote GitHub repository, ensuring up-to-date debloating lists without manual updates. Users can target bloatware by cellular carrier, device vendor, or manufacturer, and filter packages by safety level, user profile, current state, or source list. All package state changes are recorded to a local audit log for tracking and accountability, and the tool supports exporting and importing package selections for reuse across devices.
The application is built in Rust and compiles on Linux, Windows, and macOS, with configurable build profiles for optimized binary performance or size. It stores user preferences and device-specific settings in TOML configuration files, enabling persistent customization of themes and behavior without recompilation.
