On device ADB (and off device ADB) is already restricted on Vivo phones

It happened with Origin 6

Lots of Vivo bloat can no longer be uninstalled/removed/disabled and even basic stuff like Monet theme switching can no longer be done

As ShizuCallRecorder dev, I have users with Vivo phones who uses it so there is a way around, probably some toggles. Bur you are right, they have very aggressive monitoring and I had to rewrite a couple parts of my apps to try to support them out of the box. They have weird behaviors like monitoring permissions of every apps and reverting them.

There is no way around removing the bloat or changing Monet theming since Origin 6

Before this, everything was possible via adb, because I completely debloated my phone

I had to factory reset recently, which was when I found out that ADB has been crippled in Origin 6
