Hi, my wife recently jump from an iphone 7 plus to the note 10 lite. So far, so good, but I've seen there's a lot of app bundle in the phone.
Many, I know are safe to delete via ADB, but some I don't know if it would make the system unstable.
One I have doubts is the Security App. Also I would like to know of some services that help Xiaomi track us or are responsible of the adds that pop if you don't turn off the recommendations.
Thanks in advance.

I am totally new to Android and considering getting a new Motorola Atrix or Samsung S3. I am currently using a Blackberry Bold 9900 and it comes with an app called Password Vault, it saves passwords and login info for different sites. I am curious to know if there is an Android app like this, as this is an important program for me. I hope you will be patient with me.
Thanks

Between the two you listed as your choices for a Device, I would suggest the SGS 3. Yes there are several apps that do the same thing as the one you mentioned. One that comes to mind is mSecure.
Hi!
Has anyone managed to get Family Link working on a Redmi Note 3 Pro?
I've tried with stock global fasboot rom's (stable and developer) and get a error after login with child's account, that mentions minimum requirements of android version and Google Play Services.
Also tried several customs rom's (Nougat, Oreo and Pie), with the same result...
I know Family Link works on custom rom's, because I had it on my Moto G 2014 (Titan), with Lineage 14.1.
Best regards.
Anyone?
I've search troughtout the Internet, still could'nt figure it out...

Bypassing Family Link may be somewhat easy, doing it without me finding out it's a little bit trickier...
But my question isn't about the advantages or disadvantages of parental control in smartphones.
I tried also setting a family link child account in pocophone, and still get the message with the requirements, although the phone is running android O.
Maybe it's Xiaomi incompatibility?

I dont think its anything to do with hardware compatibility.
Are u sure all ur kids phone have android oreo.
Go to google product forums and search keywords family link doesnt work. May be u will find some answers.
I already tried with different roms M N O. Fresh install and latest gapps.
Always get the message - this device needs newer software - when adding child account.
Also did login with my account, updated apps in playstore, removed my account and add child account. Same result.
Searched the web, found 2 or 3 similar cases, without solution...

How google family link is unique ? Is there any alternative app ?
Family link it's very complete in features, but one of the main reasons I want to use it is because of my daughter's Google account, that already as lot's of data, photos, messages, contacts...
It is a child account, and I can't log in on any phone without family link.

I think u cant use it if ur kid is 13 and above. Also Now they have split family link into 2 apps For parents and children.
Also check if ur phone and kids phone shouldnt be rooted. May be Selinux for all phones should be enforcing and not permissive. I m Not sure if it is requirement. I m just saying.
Are u on custom rom?
Also i think strong apps likes family link should be system app and should be included in gapps package which cant be uninstalled easily. And can be removed only from recovery.
And it should not be user app. User app are easy to trick and can be easily uninstalled.
Family Link is working fine in Moto G 2014, with Lineage 14.1. Fresh install with micro gapps. On first boot, when asked for google account, I put my daughters account and it automatically installs Family Link and the process runs smoothly, as described in Google support pages.
Very different with Kenzo. It always gives the message "this device needs newer software" when adding child account. Tried with many custom roms and stock.
I can live without it, and create a new adult account for my daughter, but this problem is getting really frustrating, and it's making my ocd twitch...

You can install telegram and direct chat with devs on telegram chat. May be they might give some answers. Search and join any kenzo group or any specific rom groups.
So I finally got Family Link working with Kenzo.
I flashed miui global stable through miflash and relocked the bootloader, and it worked.
As mentioned, in Moto G 2014, with unlocked bootloader, family link works fine, so maybe it's xiaomi thing...
I prefer global dev (miui 10), but I'm tired of changing roms
please HELP me

Hello. Just today, I began to solve the same problem as you did some time ago. Could you please advise me how you managed to get to NOTE 3 Original ROM and lock BOOTLOADER? Any MiFlash I can't run properly on my PC. If you could advise me where you downloaded the functional MiFlash and the official ROM, I would be grateful for this valuable information. My daughter cannot use her account on this phone because of the Family Link malfunction on NOTE 3. I have a version of Windows 10 on my computer or I have a MacBook. Thank you for every answer.

hello,
am on miui 11.0.5.0 global and was able to remove the stock mi browser(v10.....etc).
am trying to install an older version of mi browser that had better features than newer versions , it installs but keeps closing everytime i open it!
is there any workaround to make it work?
I know I'm not answering your question.
But why exactly do you prefer to use a browser filled with ads and junk?

Poco launcher gives you a neat way of hiding those bits of xiaomi scurf that you can't uninstall - why not just do that and browse with Iron or something better?

Regardless of ads or not, why do you still insist on using a inferior browser when there are so many others out there that do a better job.

i already mentioned the cause above!......the old version am talking about has a certain feature that isnt working anymore in new versions!.
All you mention is "the feature I'm looking for" or the "cause I'm looking for"
There's no direct mention or explanation of what you're looking for. Maybe more people will help you if you choose to explain a bit more rather than shut down every comment that's trying to help you.

the reason for posting this topic is to get help regarding running an older version of miui browser that installs but closes everytime i open in oreo/pie/q ......it runs fine on other android phones on nougat!!.
specifying the feature thats working on this old browser and not working on recent versions wont help coz poeple who "try to help" would simply recommend using other newer versions or even different browsers!!
if i wanted to shut comments ....i would have simply ignored any replies without a direct solution!!.
Okay, so you know how it works in the software world. Nobody codes everything from scratch. What we do is build upon the work of others to get what we want. Your previous browser would have been built with various libraries that it hooks into to provide different functionality. Now a new one has come out which was installed on your fone and this is using later versions of the libraries and possibly some APIs may have been dropped. So you're trying to use the old browser with the new libraries and it's entirely possible that the APIs/ABIs it needs are no longer available. So you're SOL. You're going to have to run your browser in debug mode to see what's wrong. I hope it works out for you.

When you back up everything and restore it again, you will have as little space as now.
Get a file manager like this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alphainventor.filemanager
It will show you which apps or files take up the space on your phone (see screenshot attached). Delete apps and files you don't need and only then make a backup
Here's another great app that will help finding out what takes up the most space - DiskUsage

Honestly all custom ROMs will be basically the same since pretty much all of them are AOSP based. They all should have Italian language. The only difference you will experience might be in some tweaks that other ROMs don't include out of the box. LineageOS might be a good starting choice since it gets frequent updates, it's very popular and it's one of the most basic ones out there, maybe start with that one. Something like Resurrection Remix would add many more tweaks but visually they both will be similar. I chose AOSiP since it's fairly basic but had some useful tweaks LineageOS didn't include and it gets updated just as frequently.
If you don't know how AOSP compares to MIUI, maybe check some Youtube videos to see how the interface looks like. Note that camera performance/quality might be slightly worse when compared to MIUI. MIUI also might have features, AOSP does not have. It's screenshot taking capabilities are much better for example. Audio volume out of the box might also be much lower when compared to MIUI so you will probably need to fix that.
1. Hopefully you have Snapdragon chipset since development for Snapdragon is more active than for Mediatek
2. Pick a well known/popular ROM (basically sort by views and pick something that has official in it's title). I wouldn't download anything from someone's Dropbox/Google Drive
3. Choose Android 10 or 11, no need to install anything below
4. Choose ROM that has frequent updates so your security patch is up to date
Before ROM installation you need to unlock your bootloader and flash custom recovery (TWRP for example). All these processes have guides here in XDA. I don't know if 4X differs from 4 so better read about that before doing anything
Ok. Thank you very much....i'll try....
Will there be custom roms soon thanks to Is Android 12L?

I'm willing to throw some money at it if he can add the Poco F3 baseband to a pad 5 5g custom rom. Same chip set and specs basically.
I want calls and SMS to function. I want to ditch a phone and just have the Pad 5. My online banking is done via OTP (one-time pin). I can withdraw money cardless I just need my SMS to send me the pin.
Also money in and out of my account I'm sent an SMS.
I'll tip in $100 USD. Let's go.
The SMS (both sending and receiving msgs) works fine on mine (Pad 5 pro 5g). The voice call doesn't work at all. You can't even use a dialer for 'secret codes' for testing. I am currently on a GSI, but it was the same on MIUI. I am in the UK if it makes a difference.

Not at all, the miui interface and the google framework is integrated, i need a vanilla rom without such crap, then i can install manually the apk i need for my use.
I will strongly prefer to ditch MIUI if nothing else to greatly reduce the risk of irreversible hardbricks that seems to be fairly common with updates after the first year or so and very rare in case of custom ROMs if at all. Just today a new report mentioned MIUI 13 hardbricking Mi 11 Ultra, Mi 11, Mi 11 Lite 5G. MIUI is just garbage IMO anyway.

Go into developer menu and turn off Miui optimisation. Can sideload any apk once it's turned off.
I couldn't load any system apps and non store apks until I did.
MIUI is ok when you sort all the permissions out.
