Nokia-Debloater your phone from the evenwell apps (Working in all nokia mobile)

A simple noob-friendly script that strips the system of the Even well apps from your Nokia.

What is even well and why should I care?

Even well/FiH is a Chinese company. Specifically, they are a subsidiary of the massive Foxconn group that manufactures consumer electronics for sale around the world. This Evewell group was a business partner of Nokia/HMD and they were responsible for manufacturing and building the software on these phones. We all know the second generation devices from Nokia i.e Nokia 6.1, Nokia 6.1 Plus, Nokia 7 Plus, etc are android one devices which are supposed to come with clean software and no bloat. On the surface, these devices have no bloat, But when you go digging deeper into settings and the system, You will encounter them even well apps.

What do these apps do?

These apps are supposed to maintain the system stability and protect battery among various other services/features. There are also telemetry apps that send data to the Chinese. This is the reason I've decided to create this script.

Nokia has supposedly stopped using the even well services/apps, Why would you uninstall them?

Simple, Because of 1. I do not want any dead app that previously had a history of snooping in my system. 2. They are not supposed to be there in the first place.

Okay, You've convinced me. What do I need?

  1. A Nokia phone
  2. ADB/Platform-tools from Google which you can get from here - https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
  3. My batch-script
