The Perfect Phone

Learn about how I setup my android phone to be production and achieve digital minimalism.

The aim of this “perfect phone is to have as much distractions as possible and have everything at ease rather than going through various manus.

Things used

Debloat

Install ADB:

debian linux

sudo apt install android-sdk-platform-tools

Windows

  • Download ADB Platform Tools
  • Extract Tools to C:\Windows (This allows you to run adb.exe and fastboot.exe from anywhere)
  • Install drivers for your phone - Install Android Device Drivers

now install the universal debloater tool from their Github & run the program: https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater/releases

Screenshot of the tool

Now make sure “Recommended” is selected from the top dropdown menu and then uninstall whatever you don’t want.

Cosmetic/my setup

Now install the launcher &/or icon pack and style your device how you want it to be.

My setup turned out to be like this:

Fix/tip

When you are using Dynamic Island, it will still show up along with your default notification style which is annoying and you have to pay to remove the default notifier.

To get around this, use ADB to disable default notification like so:

adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0

& to enable default notifier:

adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 1

that’s it <3
