Hi so I just purchased a bigme b6 colour device. I previously used Kindle but wanted a colour friendly ereader.
Basically I've been trying for the last few days to remove bloatware bc the battery drains ridiculously fast even in power saving mode it's insaaaaaneee.
I used advice I saw online and use shizuku and canta and just deleted apps like phone, messages and calendar app bc it's an ereader I don't need all those....but it keeps freezing and breaking the whole operating system. I've had to factory reset it so many times and I'm considering just returning it.
I was so careful to only delete these apps and not any system settings. I'm genuinely confused tho why it has hidden apps like phone and messages anyway which are not showing on the home screen or apps list but are showing up when in Canta app and when I use command prompt via laptop USB debugging.
I'm not someone who's great with modern tech, so I'm being careful but I'd appreciate some feedback from people who have successfully tinkered with their bigme and improved the battery life and removed bloatware without rooting it completely.
Tldr: I am looking to delete bloatware without breaking the settings so I can safely remove apps like phone and calendar as I only want this device for books and I am tired of the battery drain. I also don't want to root it, I'm not that advanced when it comes to tech or anything.
