Debloat a Samsung S20

Wallpaper

Here is a nice gray wallpaper that is not annoying and is easy on the eye. (1440×3120)

Power Button

The Side Key may need to be configured so that it is useful once Bixby is removed.

Settings → Advanced Features → Side Key → Press and Hold → Power Off Menu

Prerequisites

ADB Commands

Warning! This is how I uninstalled most of the crapware on MY phone. It's very easy to overdo this operation leaving your phone in an undesirable or unworkable state! I did several time consuming factory resets before writing this page. Be cautious!
Many of these commands will result in failure because your device won't have the same set of crapware as mine. Just ignore the failures.
