Wiki for android packages

Another post made me wonder if there is some kind of wiki or website for android packages with descriptions that can/should be removed via adb. Back when I had a bloated phone, about 3 years back, I remember how much of a pain in the ass this was and had to go through XDA developers and reddit posts just to get the info on which to not remove. Has this process changed since?

    I haven’t tried it but I think so. As long as it runs Android and you can connect via ADB, it should work. It might be a pain to connect via ABD either wireless or using a USB hub. You’ll also want to he extra cautious that you’re not disabling things that break the basic functions. For example, you can probably disable Google TV on your phone but maybe not on Android TV because it might break the UI.
