Pseudo-Debloated applications

Magisk allows for apps to be magically removed upon runtime, they don't get actually removed from /system but they are pseudo-removed during runtime. The pseudo-debloat feature is not available when NanoDroid is installed in System Mode

Default Settings

The following applications are pseudo-debloated by default

  • Basic Dreams
  • Calendar
  • CM File Manager
  • crDroid Filemanager and Music Player

  • E-Mail + Exchange2

Alter the list of pseudo-debloated applications

This feature is only available when installing as Magisk Module!

You can pseudo-debloat applications by adding them to configuration file

.nanodroid-overlay

on your device, in one of the following directories

  • /sdcard (internal storage)
  • /external_sd (TWRP path to SD Card (if any))
  • directory containing the zip file
  • /data (fallabck)

See the default settings.

Alternatively you can also use the NanoDroid Setup Wizard package instead of manual creation of the configuration file.

The syntax is pretty simple:

  • one app per line
  • name must be an exact match

After you've made your changes, issue the following command on your device, either using adb shell or Termux as root:

nanodroid-overlay --update

This needs to be done in normal environment. If you're in TWRP you'll have to manually mount /magisk (you may use the mount-magisk script from the git repo for this purpose).

Additional options

The nanodroid-overlay script has more options available, see > nanodroid-overlay.
