How to uninstall Facebook (even if your phone won't let you)

Usually, when Facebook is pre-installed on a phone, the OEM makes it that you cannot uninstall it conventionally or without root. I've written a cmd script (Linux version coming soon, and I don't have a Mac) that uninstalls the following apps from your phone:

  • Facebook
  • Facebook App Manager
  • Facebook App Installer
  • Messenger

Note that how this script uninstalls is that it uninstalls from the user 0 (which is you), it does not uninstall the app completely. System apps can't be uninstalled completely without root. If you do a factory reset, all of these apps will reinstall themselves.

Make sure USB debugging is enabled on your phone. Here is a zip file containing the adb files and the script: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmWVPYZ6L-72iWV3RAktcdSXB9xS

Extract everything and run deletus.bat.

He bought two matching batteries from different sellers. The problem is, even though they were unopened/sealed packages of original batteries, they were not holding much charge. (I suppose they waited on a shelf for some time.) This made me question myself. In the past, I have used nokia smartphones, and they were easy to replace with fresh batteries, since almost all nokias used the same battery type. Now with android, its all over the place. Is it even worth it to go for a removable battery device when you cant find a replacement a couple of years after you purchase it? What do you think/prefer? PS. I realize this is not exactly fault of android OS, but ...
