I’ve rooted my android phone many years ago. Back then that was a different phone than I have now, and I was still using Windows.
I’m now trying to find a way to root my current phone (Motorola g62 5G), and have no idea how to do it through Linux. However, I seem to only be able to find instructions that are specific to windows.
How would I go about doing this on Linux (specifically Ubuntu)?
EDIT:
Thanks to a number of answers on here I’ve managed to find my way and rooted my phone. Thanks again, guys!
You can disable apps using adb.
I personally use AppManager (FOSS). In the settings, change the working mode to Wireless ADB. The app should give you the instructions but you can also ask here. Then from the app list you should be able to disable any app you want. The app even tells you which apps are bloatware.
But if you want, you can use adb on Linux too. Download adb and then from terminal run the commands as explained here: https://www.xda-developers.com/disable-system-app-bloatware-android/
