App Freezer is a non-root system debloat tool for AxManager. It scans and reversibly disables pre-installed manufacturer bloatware and ad-reporting tracking components via ADB shell, freeing up device resources while strictly protecting critical system functions.
Technical Details
This plugin executes the standard pm disable-user command through AxManager's shell (uid 2000) environment to safely suspend target applications without requiring root access. It features an integrated protection list that actively prevents the freezing of essential system components like SystemUI, Settings, and Phone. All actions are fully reversible and logged, allowing for immediate restoration without deleting any local files.
