The rom still works fluidly!
Please take a look here howto-thread, if you are unfamiliar with debloating.
[EDIT]
Before deactivating the google keyboard (Gboard), I installed this open source one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rkr.simplekeyboard.inputmethod&hl=en
Some more alternatives to the deactivated apps:
Filemanager = Amaze
Browser = Firefox Focus
Gallery = Camera Roll (If you fiddle around with backgrounds, dont disable com.miui.gallery and com.android.thememanager)
Media = VLC
I dont need all the other apps, e.g. mail, calendar, on this tab.
There is no such thing as an official EU ROM - Mi Pad 4 has not been officially released outside of China and therefore no global/eu ROM has been made by Xiaomi.
xiaomi.eu is not owned or operated by Xiaomi (which they only mention in the site footer...) and ROMs on that page are basically modified Chinese-market ROMs.
The Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools works well for me. The interface is easy to use and I can debloat everything under a minute. It doesn't remove gapps though, so it's more suitable for Chinese ROM.

Ok, so this is a braindump of my process of unlocking my new Meizu Pro 5 Chinese, preventing me to forget everything I did until tomorrow, but I'll also try to highlight some gotchas and hopefully give some insights into how things work (the why, not the how).
Sorry for the mangled urls, it's one of my first posts here and I can't post links yet.
But first, some general considerations:
Meizu uses it's own fork of AOSP (Android Open Source Project) called Flyme: h**p://www.flymeos.com/
there are two types of firmwares for Meizu Pro 5, A and G - which is the suffix letter after the version, for example 6.1.0.0G or 5.1.3.0A
the A firmwares are for the Chinese models, and can be found at h**ps://reameizu.com/?s=PRO+5%E7%94%A8Flyme
the G firmwares are for the global models (hence the G), and can be found at h**p://www.flymeos.com/firmwarelist?modelId=10&type=1
the interesting note to make here is that the G firmware is smaller than the A one, because it contains less bloatware
there's no easy conclusive way to see which version you have, the rule of thumb is that if you have a few apps with a Chinese name, and especially if you have the Meizu App Store (h**p://bbsimg.res.flymeos.com/forum/201607/07/174749bi2d0i9bi0q5iia0.png) app, you have the Chinese model
another way is to look at Settings -> Account section, if you only have an "Other account" (and no "Flyme account") section, you have a global model; it's also possible to install the MzAccount apk, which will bring back that section and allow you to login into your Flyme account and root a phone with the G firmware (read below about "official" rooting)
the only conclusive way is to look at the ro.meizu.hardware.version prop from a shell
Code:
[email protected]:/ $ getprop | grep hardware.version
[ro.meizu.hardware.version]: [M576_intl_official]
M576_mobile_public is for Chinese, M576_intl_official is for global
(all shown commands are ran on a global model, unless specified otherwise)
this prop is stored in the /dev/block/platform/15570000.ufs/by-name/procinfo partition (which is a symlink to /dev/block/sda2), and you can dump it with dd from a root shell (note the #)
Code:
[email protected]:/ # dd if=/dev/block/sda2 bs=1 count=58
#! Meizu M86 product info
machine_type=M576_intl_official
58+0 records in
58+0 records out
58 bytes transferred in 0.006 secs (9666 bytes/sec)
there's a file inside the firmware update.zip, namely META-INF/firmware_type, which specifies the model the firmware is for; the updater compares the model from this file with the model from the procinfo partition, if they match it goes ahead with the update, if they're different, it shows the dreaded "Firmware corrupt" error (h**p://bbsimg.res.flymeos.com/forum/201710/03/194357r3mx162uxz7mquir.jpg), which is kind of misleading, if you ask me
To be continued...
Guide
Debloat XZ1 with ADB
WARNING: WORK IN PROGRESS
Preamble
First of all it should be mentioned that in the worst case your device has to be reset to factory settings. All the bloatware you will "remove" in the following hours and days will still remain on the device. So it's not about freeing up storage, but about hiding unwanted functionality, potentially increasing battery life, and freeing up some memory. However, to completely remove pre-installed software from your device, you must have root privileges. I personally advise against "rooting" a new device that will still receive security updates for some time. In most cases the process of acquiring root privileges, or at least the subsequent operations on the device, will lead to a loss of warranty. But that is only my opinion. I am not aware of any case in which the use of ADB with user rights led to a loss of warranty.
Requirements
ADB (Android Debug Bridge)
Arch-based $ sudo pacman -Syu android-tools
Debian-based $ sudo apt-get install adb
Fedora-based $ sudo yum install android-tools
Windows/mac https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
Sony Xperia XZ1 (should also work for other Xperia devices with Oreo)
Stock firmware
No root privileges required
"USB debugging" enabled in developer options⁰
Time
Background & Commands
Introduction
The android debug bridge provides the right tool to remove the bloatware: The included package manager (pm) will become your best friend for now. I strongly recommend reading the official documentation if you have any questions after reading this section.
Notes on style
Every line of code with a leading $ is followed by a command. So lines without that are command output. If there is code written in italics you should expect other output or modify the command according to your needs. The # is used for line comments.
Getting started
First of all you start an ADB shell. Since this shell is quite limited, all following commands can alternatively be executed directly by prefixing adb shell. This could be useful later e.g. for scripting.
Code:
$ adb shell
Gathering information
After the shell has started, you probably want to collect information about the installed bloatware. The first place you can do that is the package list. Note that the commands implicitly add --user 0 which is your main user or "admin". Also the pm list command will be replaced by cmd package in the future but is more handy right now.
Code:
$ pm list packages -s -d |sort [color="green"]# Sorted list of all disabled system packages[/color]
$ pm list packages -s -e |sort [color="green"]# Sorted list of all enabled system packages[/color]
$ pm list packages -s -u |sort [color="green"]# Sorted list of all system packages including uninstalled ones[/color]
To show only uninstalled packages you can use the following command outside the ADB shell.
Code:
grep -vf <(adb shell pm list packages -s |sort) <(adb shell pm list packages -s -u |sort)
If you don't know the exact package name, you can specify a filter behind pm list packages or work with dumpsys and grep. There are, however, nicer methods respectively apps that take away the manual name resolution.
Code:
$ pm list packages [i]sony[/i] [color="green"]# Shows only packages that have "sony" in their name[/color]
$ dumpsys |grep -i [i]gmail[/i] -C5 [color="red"]# This is totally slow and doesn't always work out[/color]
To really get a lot of information, like dependencies, about a certain package, the following command is suitable.
Code:
$ dumpsys package [i]com.package.name[/i] [color="green"]# Much to read[/color]
$ pm list packages -f -i -u [i]com.package.name[/i] [color="green"]# Show associated .apk file and installer[/color]
Providing a test environment
Since you don't have root rights¹, you can't disable/uninstall system packages system-wide. The only thing that can happen is that you remove a package for your main user, that makes your main account or other packages unusable, or that cannot be reinstalled. Then the only option is a factory reset, right? Narp. You won't believe it, but it's enough to create a new user as a test environment. A user can be removed easily and is isolated from the other users. So your new user – we lovingly call it "test" – sacrifices itself to save you the factory reset. Therefore you can also test without hesitation on a productive system. Of course this only works if you specify the corresponding user-id in the following commands.; nevertheless, I recommend a backup.
Code:
$ pm create-user [i]test[/i]
Success: created user id [i]10[/i]
$ pm list users [color="green"]# Just to verify that worked[/color]
Users:
UserInfo{0:[i]Hallmund Gautisson[/i]:13} running
UserInfo{[i]10[/i]:[i]test[/i]:0}
No risk… and fun
Now we come to the fun part, debloat the $#*! out of your phone. At this point you often have to decide: disable or uninstall. In general disabling a package leads to success in most cases. An uninstall is only recommended if the disable does not lead to the desired result and if at best the package can be reinstalled. The test environment is perfect to check this and to uncover possible side effects of removing a package.
Code:
$ pm disable-user --user [i]10 com.package.name[/i] [color="green"]# This should also be safe if it's done with your main user (0)[/color]
Package [i]com.package.name[/i] new state: disabled-user
$ pm uninstall -k --user [i]10 com.package.name[/i] [color="red"]# This could force you to perform a factory reset when applied to your main user (0)[/color]
Success
The -k option is used to keep the data and cache directories, as you are not allowed to remove them anyway.
Damn regrets
If a package has more destructive power than previously thought, or proves to be quite useful in retrospect, or if you have simply made a mistake with the name, it would be nice if you could simply undo what you did full of youthful recklessness. For deactivated packages this works very reliably. With uninstalled packages this is quite random. Sometimes packages that even exist in the Play Store cannot be reinstalled anymore² and the apparently deepest ingrained system app can be reinstalled without even a single error. To reinstall a system package you have to get the path to the associated .apk file using -f option in package list.
Code:
$ pm enable --user [i]10 com.package.name[/i] [color="green"]# To undo the disable command, works reliable[/color]
$ pm list packages -f -u [i]com.package.name[/i]
package:[i]/path/to/package.apk[/i]=[i]com.package.name[/i]
$ pm install -r --user [i]10 /path/to/package.apk [color="red"]# To undo the uninstall command, works flaky[/color][/i]
Success [color="red"]# Or Failure³[/color]
The -r option is used reinstall an existing package and keeping its data. You don't have any rights in the installation target directory anyway.
(Bloat)-Packages
Notes on style
All packages I have tested myself have green coloured names. Packages that appear in other debloat lists are coloured blue. Packages with a red name mean: better don't touch them. Abbreviations are R for packages that can be reinstalled, P for packages that are also available in the play store, U for packages that you can also disable in the app settings, and M for packages that are removed from my phone. At this point you are welcome to contribute, especially the effects of removing are often not clear and package descriptions are missing.

⁰) Go to "Settings" → "System" → "About phone" → Tap "Build number" seven times → Back → "Developer options" → Enable "USB debugging"
¹) As long as you do not run ADB with root, it should not be possible to modify packages system-wide.
²) You can install them from the store but not with the original APK; congratulations, you now have double the package data.
³) Mostly you will get either INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES or INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK.
Thank you for this elaborate guide, appreciate it!
thanks a lot.

With one of the Qualcomm services I managed to destroy com.sonymobile.superstamina… on my main user . The shared library "/system/lib64/libpbpp.so" could no longer be opened, which causes a boot loop. I will try to find the exact cause of the error and then provide information here.
This is getting weird. I've uninstalled updates on stamina mode package… wait, what? Is that possible? This is a system package which isn't even in the Play Store! So, the following happened.
Code:
$ pm list packages -f com.sonymobile.superstamina
package:/vendor/app/SuperStamina/SuperStamina.apk=com.sonymobile.superstamina
$ pm install -r /vendor/app/SuperStamina/SuperStamina.apk;pm disable-user com.sonymobile.superstamina
Success
Package com.sonymobile.superstamina new state: disabled-user
$ pm list packages -f com.sonymobile.superstamina
package:/data/app/com.sonymobile.superstamina-MPre2pDlmc8uvCjeiByuGQ==/base.apk=com.sonymobile.superstamina
The package path has changed during reinstall, which was not the case with other packages. There are also some mentionable changes in the dumpsys before and after the "update".
Code:
172,173c411,412
< applicationInfo=ApplicationInfo{418d64d com.sonymobile.superstamina}

There was also added a complete new hidden system package. Better don't touch this package.
This is just a placeholder.
if somebody knows , which package is responsible for DND in priority mode i cannot change preferences.......something is disabled and i cannot guess what ?!?

Hi,
I have an LG K8 smartphone with Android 6.0. It's in developer mode and I have successfully connected ADB on my Linux workstation. For the record, F-Droid and Aurora Store are already installed. I'm planning to use mainly open source applications. I'd like to get rid of all the Google-related stuff.
./adb shell pm list packages | grep google | awk -F: '{ print $2 }'
This spews out a long list of all Google-related packages. There are also a few more like the Google Play Store (com.android.vending) or Chrome (com.android.chrome).
I'd like to know which Google-related packages I can safely remove without wrecking parts of my system. And which packages are more or less essential to other stuff.
Thanks & cheers from the sunny South of France.
MIUI comes with a lot of unecessary apps, some are just there for ads, and some are android system apps that you can't uninstall or disable
There will be some slightly different apps between variants I'm on MIUI GLOBAL 12.0.2
I used Xiaomi ADB Fastboot Tools by Szaki, has a nice interface and is super simple to use, here's how:
Method#1 Xiaomi ADB Fastboot Tools
Install java 11: https://adoptopenjdk.net/
Download latest XiaomiADBFastbootTools.jar
phone:
Enable Developer Options: Settings->About Phone->Click MIUI version untill it notifies you enabled dev options
Enable usb debugging: Settings->Aditional Settings->Developer Options
Connect phone to PC and select PTP mode, not FTP
Now you can select all the apps you wan't to remove. Use The LIST to know all the apps you can remove that won't cause bootloop. Here's a screenshot of the apps I left on my device, you can safely remove all the others
or you can try similar tools:
Cyber.Cat said:
You just need to add method # 3 - ADB AppControl
With this handy program, you forget about the command line and can disable applications through a useful graphical interface. I recommend everyone to try this tool if you want more control over your devices.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
[TOOL] ADB AppControl 1.8.0 🚀 Ultimate App Manager & Debloat Tool + Tweaks
ADB AppControl 🚀 Root is not required. Works with any Android device. Can do almost everything you dreamed about with applications. ADB AppControl - the desktop program, that will allow you to easily manage applications on your android device...
forum.xda-developers.com
Method#2 ADB command line
To be able to execute ADB commands, you must download and set up the latest SDK Platform Tools on your computer.
Extract the downloaded ‘platform-tools-latest-windows.zip‘ and open the folder.
Launch the Command Prompt via the Windows context menu by pressing the Shift key + Right-click button on the mouse.
Now type the following command in the cmd window and Allow USB debugging to authorize ADB when prompted.
adb devices
allow usb debugging on xiaomi - If you see the ‘list of attached devices’ message, it means your Xiaomi or Redmi phone is successfully connected.
Now, execute the command
Code:
adb shell
When you get your phone’s codename on the cmd screen, run the command mentioned. Don’t forget to replace <package name> with the package name of the system app you want to uninstall just check The List
PHP:
pm uninstall --user 0 <package name>
You should be able to remove all google apps to, every other app from the need testing list is also from a safe to remove thread, but needs confirmation on poco x3

I haven't tried that, you'll have to try yourself. This tool allows you to re-install apps you removed.
Make sure you have everything ready to flash stock ROM in case you enter bootloop
what are the apps that are safe to uninstall?

End of first post it's all the apps I didn't remove.
When I get home I'll compile an almost full list of apps safe to remove, and what purpose they serve
+ MSA
+ All google app
+ Facebook connect
+ Netflix connect

Yes you can
bump
This took more time than I tought manually verified all the apps in the list myself, so those are safe to remove, unless some escaped my eyes. It's from a safelist anyway.
You should be able to remove all google apps to, every other app from the needs testing list is also from a safe to remove thread, but needs confirmation on poco x3
Don't uninstall random stuff from the complete system packages unless you know what you're doing
Happy uninstalls evevryone :fingers-crossed:

And yes if you only uninstall what I did you can sitll get OTA updates

It isn't but it should be allowed to be uninstalled. I use waze not maps per example. You can install them via PlayStore just fine after so it isn't system app
To each their own

Sry I missed your post. I'm not sure if it did. Doesn't make enough difference to matter.
Although theoretically should improve battery life
Hi,
Thanks a lot for the guide, but I don't understand:
On the screenshot in the methode #1, we can see Google Calculator or Google Keep for exemple, and I don't believe they are installed originally, I'm wrong?

They aren't installed originally, I installed them via PlayStore. The ADB Tools application detects it anyway just like other google apps
For me Facebook is bloatware apps... I don't need it to push notifications all the time as I can browse using browser only...
@bacitoto
Nice to see a fellow Portuguese contributing to the POCO X3 scene.
My dev days ended a couple of years ago, but I'm still very much into the scene.
Drop me a DM if you want and we can exchange notes or something.
I got the X3 as well.
Best regards,
Bruno.
Hi all,
Background (ignore this if you like): I have an air con unit that uses an Android Tablet on my wall, it has recently started crashing with the error "gapps has stopped responding". I called the company and they basically told me I need to pay $500+ for a new tablet. I thought this is outrageous, when old air cons didn't use to use an android tablet as their control hub, they would last the life of the home!! So I'm determined to try updating gapps and fixing this tablet myself, rather than give them money.
Actual question: I'm not linux savvy at all and so I would love if someone can help me determine a way to install TWRP on this device. As I believe that is the first step in order for me to start tinkering. I'll be able to create a proper full backup to avoid bricking this thing.
details of the tablet: It has a USB port and I can connect to it fine via ADB from my PC (Windows 11), I can do shell commands etc. I tried running some queries to see which manufacturer makes this unit so i could install TWRP however everything simply appears as the company name. Example:
[ro.build.version.release]: [4.4.2]
[ro.board.platform]: []
[ro.build.version.sdk]: [19]
[ro.fota.platform]: [MTK_KK]
[ro.hardware]: [mt8127]
[ro.mediatek.platform]: [MT8127]
[ro.mediatek.version.sdk]: [2]
[ro.mtk.hardware]: [mt8127]
[ro.product.brand]: [COMPANY NAME]
[ro.product.manufacturer]: [COMPANY NAME]
[ro.product.model]: [COMPANY NAME]
[ro.product.name]: [em_t8270_nand]
Thank you.
Maybe you just don't need Google Apps and can disable it in Apps settings ;-)
The problem is that twrp needs to be made, or maybe you can try hovatek auto twrp recovery porter for mtk?
