This repository provides a cross-platform desktop application (GUI and CLI) for debloating Android devices by uninstalling or disabling unwanted system packages. It is built in Rust using the Iced GUI framework for the interface and a shared core library (`uad-core`) that abstracts ADB communication, package list management, backup/restore, and self-update logic. The tool leverages a community-maintained package classification database (embedded JSON) that categorizes packages by vendor (AOSP, Google, OEM, etc.) and removal safety (Recommended, Advanced, Expert, Unsafe). The architecture is modular: `uad-core` handles all ADB operations and data logic, `uad-cli` provides a command-line interface with subcommands for device management, package list filtering, and actions, and `uad-gui` offers a modern graphical interface with search, filter, bulk selection, and settings for cross-user and fallback modes. The codebase is well-organized with clear separation of concerns, custom theming, and a generic modal overlay widget. It demonstrates solid engineering practices for a desktop tool, though some components (like the embedded large JSON and complex fallback logic) introduce maintenance complexity.
The LLM identified 4 files worth highlighting for reuse:
Implements a type-state builder pattern for constructing ADB commands (ACommand, ShellCommand, PmCommand). Each builder method returns a new type that enforces correct command syntax at compile time. This pattern is safely reusable for wrapping any CLI tool with a complex command interface, and it eliminates runtime errors from malformed command strings.
Provides a complete custom theme system for the Iced GUI framework. The Theme enum (Auto, Lupin, Dark, Light) defines palette colors and implements Iced's Catalog trait for styling buttons, containers, scrollables, and other widgets. It uses an OS color scheme detection with caching (LazyLock). This component can be extracted and used as a foundation for any Iced application requiring a customizable or dark/light theme.
A generic modal overlay widget for Iced that centers content and blurs the background. It supports an on_blur callback and is parameterized by message type. This widget is isolated and can be reused in any Iced application to display dialogs or confirmation prompts with minimal adaptation.
Handles backup and restore of per-user package states as JSON files. It serializes the current device state (list of packages with their actions) and can reconstruct ADB commands from backup data. The logic is idempotent and could be reused for any application needing to snapshot and restore the state of a set of items managed through an external tool.
