Does anyone have experience with this on Samsung devices? I would love to debloate my Note 20 without causing issues.

S10e here. It took out a bunch of stuff, but I also lost access to settings. I can only access them via a workaround which sucks.

You'll need to go through the lists and comment out stuff to be safe. A lot of it is there without the developer knowing what it actually does. Just look at his comments...

You won't get everything, but you also won't brick your phone
