HOW TO DEBLOAT THE Mi8 WITHOUT ROOT

Summary:
I don’t like the Ads and the bloat that Xiaomi have been including in our Stock Global ROMs. I am sharing the method and services/apps i personally remove when i run the latest Global ROM. These apps are uninstalled through ADB shell and doesn’t require root, doesn’t modify your system, and can be brought back with a factory reset.
I don’t use social media, so i uninstalled the FB crap too (always runs even without the main app). If some of these aren’t found on your system, don’t worry it just errors on them (not found). I use a lot of 3rd party apps in place of Xiaomi stock apps (messages, gallery, clock, etc). I left the Xiaomi cloud and account apps/framework. If this bothers you, then add them or skip others you want to leave.

I have thoroughly tested the removal of all the apps listed in this tutorial (there is more that can be removed, but i use the themes app, account, cloud, etc.). Removing these apps will greatly improve the battery life and snappiness of the phone (less resources running, less memory used, less battery consumption, no ads!).

My Replacement App Setup:
-Nova Launcher Prime
-Google Chrome
-Google Messages
-Google Photos
-PowerAmp Hi-Def Music Player (Enables [email protected])
-Timely Clock App
-Weather Live Pro
-VLC Media Player

Important Notes & Warnings:
* You can still use OTA updates or regular ROM flashing without the apps & services returning!
* This does not modify the system partitions in any way, only the data partition files are disabled!
* If you remove the ‘Xiaomi Home’ launcher app -make sure you have an alternative launcher installed first!
* If you remove the ‘Xiaomi Gallery’ app, you can only set lockscreen wallpaper through the theme application!

Very Very Important:
* ONCE YOU UNINSTALL THESE, THE ONLY WAY TO GET THEM BACK IS TO FACTORY RESET YOUR PHONE! *

Instructions:
1.) Make sure USB Debugging is enabled in the Developers menu on your phone
2.) Connect your phone to your computer
3.) Bring up your computer’s command terminal and type ‘adb shell’
4.) If you successfully have an adb shell connection, you should have a terminal type mode with a dollar sign prompt
— — -(If you can’t connect, then go read how to get an adb connection and setup using Google!)
5.) Enter each command you want below. You can copy the whole list, then paste it in your adb shell all at once if you want

[GUIDE] Debloat MIUI No-root

This is a universal guide to remove all the bloatware on any device. I am just posting instructions here on what I did to our specific device.

First is to unlock developer options. For this, head into settings and about phone.

Then tap the MIUI version for 7 times to enable developer options

Then come back to settings and head over to additional settings to open developer options


There enable USB debugging.

Now head back into settings into installed apps to get information of package name of the app that you want to remove.

Let me take the example of Google chrome here

To remove this app, you need to execute the command

I’m assuming that you already know how to use adb commands. It’s very easy. Just google how to use ADB. You need to install drivers for redmi 7a in case of windows (you will get it as part of mi unlock software) and then you need to download minimal adb-fastboot. In linux, its very easy. Just do sudo apt install android-tools-adb. No need to install drivers separately.

I have removed the following apps to debloat

Mi Browser
adb shell pm uninstall -k —user 0 com.android.browser
Facebook apps
adb shell pm uninstall -k —user 0 com.facebook.appmanager
adb shell pm uninstall -k —user 0 com.facebook.services

There is a gui for that: github.com/Saki-EU/XiaomiADBFastbootTools/
It allows to uninstall and then to reinstall packages, and it suggests a lot of them. I have removed 65 packages with this tool and some more by hand (com.amazon.mShop.android.shopping, com.alibaba.aliexpresshd, com.facebook.katana and cn.wps.moffice_eng).

If you encounter problems, the uninstalled packages can be reinstalled with the command

Debloating MIUI without Root Access (Manual Method)

Breadcrumb

Tired of all the pre-installed applications that come with your new phone. Most of them tend to be useless and some tend to be on annoying side with push notifications and battery drains.

One way to get rid of all these intruders is to root your device and delete them using some application or manual purge. Not everyone is comfortable with rooting and it’s risks. Also, rooting is not an option on many phones coz of limited support from the developer community. Does that mean one has to learn to live with the bloat?

Thankfully, No. You can get rid of them with the use of ADB (Android Debugging Bridge). The method is safer than manual purge and would not break any system variables, allowing to keep accepting OTAs w/o any issues.

Let’s Debloat your Phone.

Note: This method works on every OEM rom as well as custom rom without root access.

Disable «App Vault», «Swipe up for google», «Wallpaper Carousel», «Find Device», «Mi Sync»(Don’t confuse Mi Sync and Google Sync though)

Follow the steps carefully :

Initial Setup
1. Go to About Phone in Settings.

2. Tap on MIUI version/Build version until it shows You’re now a developer. It might ask for password in some cases.

3. Go to Settings>Additional Settings>Developer Options or Settings>System>Developer Options.

4. Enable USB Debugging, Install via USB, USB Debugging(Security Settings). Accept all the prompts thrown.

Note: Most ROMs will only have USB Debugging toggle.

Note: On MIUI, the above step requires an MI Account.

Main Process
Connect your device to the PC now. Recommend using a good quality USB cable for this.

1. Extract the platform tools zip. Navigate to the folder.
2. Shift+Right click and select open command window here.
3. Type adb devices
4. Grant authorization on your phone.
5. Type adb devices again and ensure that it shows your device as connected and authorized.

Note: If your device doesn’t show up, you might need to install latest USB drivers for your phone. It usually happens automatically if you have an updated OS. If that’s not the case, use this and install the USB drivers.

6. Type adb shell.
7. Type

Here mi is a keyword. You can replace it with whatever you want. This command would return all packages which have the phrase mi in their name.

for complete list of installed packages.

with the package you want to remove. The names can be obtained from the list command in the previous step.

Tip: Package name can be found in app list. Just tap on the small ‘i’ icon on the top right corner of each app page on MIUI. On custom roms, it’s usually given at the bottom.

Tip : If you can’t see all apps. Tap on the three dots in the top corner on «Manage Apps» page and tap «Show All Apps». SImilarly on custom roms, it can be achieved by selecting «Show System Apps».

I’m not going to cover all the OEMs or Custom Roms. The process is similar across all OEMs and Custom Roms. Packages that are safe to remove on MIUI are given below:

(Skip to the next step if you’re not on MIUI)

What problems are related to miui gallery removal? Please tell me I don’t want to search over whole xda. It is probably bootloop too but I am not sure (hint from some github page).

———- Post added at 11:27 AM ———- Previous post was at 11:24 AM ———-

If I get it it to bootloop by debloating, Can I fix it by adb? I know that I can reinstall app back by adb. I don’t have root and twrp so far. Does it respond to adb during this bootloop?

This is root shell.

You can use uninstall commands here to remove apps completely.

Sorry for necroposting, but I need some help.

I have a new(ish) gingko and at first it worked alright; only after following this tutorial and rebooting, I’m now getting horrible lagging in the lock screen — when I manage to unlock my RN8, it kind works OK, but while it is locked I have to frantically tap the screen to be able to input my pattern (hadn’t set up any fingerprints).

In case anyone cares here’s the list of apps I disabled through adb:

I thought I was taking the conservative approach (the device is still in the waiting period to get unlocked) by disabling things I don’t need while I keep using the phone, but I guess I was wrong. Plus my lock screen looks kinda weird, with some asian looking text.

In case it matters, I’m still on MIUI Global v11.0.12.0(PCOMIXM). There’s an update to v12.0.4.0(QCOMIXM) ready, but I’m not really keen to upgrade. Any help appreciated.
