Hi, I just root yesterday with the great help of @KevMetal , thank's again for the help, but now I want to delete some apps, so with TB paid, I just try to delete mi and google apps but it can't, certainly because they are not in system/app but in product.. So I tried with mixplorer and in /product or in /system, I can't delete them..So i try to modify to 644 /system folder, but it refuse...I don't want to mess something because the miss of recovery....
and , how upgrade or update the phone, while rooted?? I suppose OTA won't work anymore..
So I have to remove root and dl new rom and flash with 3 dots menu in settings/about??
do it wipe phone or delete internal data???
and to finish with BL unlocked is there still xiaomi optimize in dev settings...because I install aurora store and it say to disable it but can't find it anymore....

I am on xiaomi.eu beta too. When rom was flashed, I could not start to system, therefore I had to wipe data in recovery. After that it booted. Now I am afraid that same thing happens when I update now with newer fastboot rom.

Thanks for this post, I made a thread from it to make it more visible

I know there are threads on using ADB to hide/disable unwanted programs or app, but if i'm correct I uninstalled apps rather than hiding them using this command: pm uninstall -k --user 0. followed by whatever app it was. In the apps list in the system menu it shows several apps as uninstalled. Looking at my apps list, I replaced LG contacts with google contacts.....in the list it shows LG contacts as not installed, same with Facebook installer/manager/LG Keyboard/LG mobile switch. All of these apps, I used the above command to get rid of them or replace them. To set this up I went and downloaded team androids windows platform tools and googles usb drivers. I then enabled debugging, authorized my computer, opened up power shell with admin rights and proceeded to remove apps. Oh, I also used package name viewer from the play store to get the name of the app. So is it possible I DID uninstall these apps rather than hiding them?
They will show back up with a factory reset. So technically no.

A factory reset resets the phone to its factory default state... So technically these apps are uninstalled.

Uninstalled for the specific user.. Basically disabled. If truly uninstalled a factory reset would not bring them back. They are still taking up space in /system/apps, /system/priv-app

And as someone mentioned in another thread (maybe you?), it's only affecting the apps in the system partition, not the user partition.
So, without root removing these apps via ADB isn't really saving any space that can be re-used.

If you had a model where apps are added after the setup, like the H933, where carrier bloat is pushed as soon as you sign in to the Play Store on the device. With the T-Mobile variant though, the carrier bloat is contained within the system image. You can remove the apps from being installed but they will reinstall with the next update. You will need something to tell you the app names to remove them with ADB. If you have the drivers installed and the correct files. All you have to do is open command prompt in the folder where the ADB files are stored, type "adb shell" and use the "pm uninstall -k --user 0 (app file name)" to remove it from being currently installed. The following two commands I used to remove the Facebook garbage and some other bloat from both of my devices.
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.system
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.appmanager
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.ime

How to enable it back tho?

For that you dont need to try out "adb " commands.
Just download Gboard from playstore. After that Go into
Settings > Language and Input > "Enable" Gboard.
Choose Input method> Gboard - multilingual Typing
Go to "More" under settings> applications > Default app settings > Input method > Gboard
If you like to use "CTRL" "ALT" "Shift" etc type of keyboard, then you can download "Hackers Keyboard" or any other keyboard of your choosing.
I have disabled few apps by this process.
I had disabled vivo store app through this process but now I want to re enable it but I am not able to get it back kindly provide me the latest APK of vivo store or any other process to get it back?

why uninstalling bloatware hasn't boosted my phone's performance?
thought that uninstalling bloat ware might boost my phone's performance so i ended up uninstalling every app that i dont use ( including creepy wisdom engine and touchpal, replaced with gboard) there's even no RAM consumption in the background . but phone still sucks .......

Hoe to root vivo v9
Thanks, Links for ADB download?
Hi,
Thanks richard yusan for a detailed guide. Am totally new to the Vivo forum. Could you please indicate where to download a good copy of adb drivers for the Vivo from.
Although doing my research I came across this post in another forum https://www.cyanogenmods.org/how-to-install-twrp-and-root-the-vivo-z1-pro/ but didn't want to try it on without knowledge of the systems first.
Additionally, I realised much of the terms used in the Funtouch OS are different, and one wrong choice in the middle of the path somewhere has the potential to leave you stuck (If it doesn't brick the phone).
For example, instead of what the forum lists as
Settings>>System>>About Phone>>Tap on Build Number 7 times. Now you need to go back to Settings>>Advanced Settings>>Developer Options>>enable USB Debugging.
What I could get was the following
Settings>>More Settings>>About Phone>>Tap on Software Version 7 times. Now you need to go back to Settings>>More Settings>>Developer Options>>enable USB Debugging AND ALSO Developer Options
Maybe this is all very intuitive, but like I said, for a Noobie like me, even this is a steep climb in knowledge

On iQOO phones there's another important app you need to disable to get notifications:
- com.vivo.appfilter
it's a complement of iManager (aka com.iqoo.secure)

That maybe because of missing device drivers.
I have installed the firmware 9.1 twice per dload, I have done 4 complete formats, install once the firmware by erecovery and two more formats later, everything from scratch, and even then I am having random reboots, suddenly the mobile freezes and I come back to request the unlock code, someone to know what is the problem?
That's what you get when you can't wait...
I guess you Wipe it completely.
Did you turn off developer options you enabled, USB debugging and stuff like these?
Dont restore all apps in playstore. Emui 9.1 is the android 10 update? If this is the case not all apps are compatible or up to date jet.
With version did you dload? You need the right fileS with your region, cust the number in "(....)". Don't use apps that tweak multitasking or things like that. Phone should be perfectly optimized from the day you got it.
I get crashes from time to time but no random reboots or hangups. Start from scratch readd your contacts and then restore the apps you need and look if they are up to date android 9/10 rdy.
Add a logcat so we could iron out what's causing you the problems.
Have a nice day hope I could help you in someway.
Emui 9.1 is Android 9, like emui 9.0, the installation I made it from 0, nothing of restored apps, it was installation by erecovery, that is the version that the same Huawei servers send for my device, the problem is real, that in other forums of the series Mate are also reporting
I have the same problem with that version and I got via Ota.
I restored it using the factory reset and it's the same thing
I regret updating my phone.
Mine is fast fluid and battery life lasts a long time , I installed from hicare , formatted my phone afterwards because of the file system change and set my phone up as new again

I suspect that the problem lies if certain apps are disabled, apparently it's because I disable notepad, but I'm not sure yet

Try disabling the application NOTEPAD.
The crashes and reboots have stopped. It has been stable at least 8 hours since I disabled it.
I think if it worked for me it should work for anyone
Try it

it happens to me when it's disabled
I just did the following process:
-Low level format
-Format by erecovery
-Format cache by erecovery
-Download and restoration of firmware by erecovery
-Format by erecovery
-install only elementary apps, do not disable anything, do not restore any app
After all the previous process, after a few minutes I was crashed again and asked for the password

After update to 9.1, format userdata and relock the BL, boot normally, setting up the phone and unlock the BL again, rooting and removing the bloatware.
Battery is good , performance very fast and nothing problem.
Just to share with you guys, might help someone, I've succefully removed with no issue everything except the listed belows apps, using Xiaomi ADB Fastboot Tools:

What Jctatis says, alternatively you can delete the apps by ADB.
In additional settings open developer options and turn on USB debugging.
Then on your computer type adb devices to see if your computer can connect and adb shell to type commands in your device. Then type the commands Jctatis listed.
Will this affect the software updates later? Just like rooting can cause a phone to stop receiving OTA updates.

Nah.
I'd keep the stock video player if you want to play HDR videos. It's the only app that I found that can play them properly, it can even play UHD bluray rips. VLC doesn't work as well. It's not a bad app.
Also removing yellowpages disables access to your contacts from the phone app. You probably want that. If not you probably want to replace the phone app as well. You can use google phone, it can be found on xda as apk, not play store.
IMO, just remove the obvious apps and don't touch services and other less obvious things that might be tied to something system related. All of it is reversible so just experiment.

I can access contacts from the phone app anyway. Thank you about the video player tip, didnt know that!
I can confirm that removing yellow pages doesn't break contacts access from phone app
I debloated quite a few apps without any problems.
The only thing that's missing the "Skip Swipe Screen" option and the ability to change lockscreen wallpaper.
Do you guys know which system app needed for these two operations?
Thanks in advance!

you can change your lockscreen with the Themes app. Otherwise I believe you need the Mi Wallpaper not uninstalled.
Adding to the already great list!
definitely more bloatware:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.services
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.system
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.appmanager
not that bloatware but I prefer my f-droid alternatives:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.midrop
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.calculator
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.weather2
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.notes
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.ar.lens
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.calendar
I'm down to 228 packages, not great, but at least my drawer isn't cluttered .

Does anyone know which APK is the messaging app and if it's safe to remove? I can see extra SMS but it's not it. Also if you check the app's info it says "com.android.mms" but I don't see it in the list. Judging by the name it doesn't seem to be a MiUI file though.
Thanks!

I have completly uninstalled the com.android.mms a couple of days ago, and using the google messages app instead. No issues at all.
Edit:
And to answer your question com.android.mms IS the messaging app/sms app, and yes it seems to be safe to remove/replace.

How do you remove com.android.mms? I'm using Xiaomi ADB Fastboot Tools and I don't see it in the list of apps that can be removed.

Huh, which MIUI are you on? On my go MIUI global 10.3.11 it was visible and removable trough adb, no root.
Maybe you just missed it, there are like 200+ packages on a phone like this...
Try:
Code:
pm list packages | grep mms
This is my version https://github.com/ramalhovfc/miui10-debloater

I'd keep the stock video player if you want to play HDR videos. It's the only app that I found that can play them properly, it can even play UHD bluray rips. VLC doesn't work as well. It's not a bad app.
Also removing yellowpages disables access to your contacts from the phone app. You probably want that. If not you probably want to replace the phone app as well. You can use google phone, it can be found on xda as apk, not play store.
IMO, just remove the obvious apps and don't touch services and other less obvious things that might be tied to something system related. All of it is reversible so just experiment.

What if, I have accidentally debloated the stock video player, is there anyway we can re-install it?
Hy all,
As many users asked me what bloatware i removed from my phone and at @Andrei Morar special request , I decided to create a thread with all the packages and their relative details about how each package listed here works on EMUI system for helping all of you who want to safely slim down the number of not used apps which are running in background alongside with some services preinstalled on phone that are not usable, for me and maybe for some others. I leave it to you to take the final choice about what to do with a package, remove it or not, and if you have other packages that you think it’s worthy to keep or remove, please comment bellow and i’ll add or remove that package.
Remember that those applications truly aren’t being fully uninstalled from the device, they are just being uninstalled for the current user (user 0 is the default / main user of the phone). That’s why, if you omit the “–user 0” and “-k” part of the uninstall command, the command won’t work. These two flags respectively specify that the system app will only be uninstalled for the current user (and not all users, which is something that requires root access) and that the cache / data of the system application will be preserved (which can’t be removed without root access). Therefore, even if you “uninstall” a system application using this method, you can still receive official OTA updates from your carrier or OEM.
If something does go wrong, you can always perform a factory reset to bring things back to the way they were. However, there’s an even easier way to bring back an app you uninstalled as this : open cmd-here.exe from C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot and enter the following commands: adb shell cmd package install-existing <name of package you wish to reinstall>.
IF you want to remove ads and you have no root or don't wan't to block your VPN or use Blokada, you can use my trick, it works on both WI-FI and mobile networks, as good as Adaway is doing :
Just set: Settings > Wi-Fi & Internet > Private DNS > dns.adguard.com and you are good without any additional app.
Here is the quick & easy guide for all:
1. Download latest Minimal ADB and Fastboot from here - thanks go to @shimp208 for providing this great tool - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
2. Enable USB debugging from developer options:
- Step 1: go to Settings
- Step 2: find and open "System" option
- Step 3: select "About phone"
- Step 4: tap "Build number" at least seven times and you will see a prompt with “You are now a Developer “. Then go to developer options and enable USB debugging (it's a MUST DO)
3. Connect your phone to your computer and press YES if it asks you to trust the PC
4. Launch cmd-here.exe from C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot and enter the following commands followed by Enter:
- adb devices (make sure your device appears in the list)
- adb shell
- pm uninstall -k --user 0 + the app you want to remove from the list below
- for restarting the device after succesfully removed unwanted package, type reboot and hit Enter, then your device will restart and remove the package from user.
For example:
This command will delete Huawei Mobile Services (including Huawei ID) app:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.hwid

I will do this after receiving the stable build of Emui 10. Hopefully this happens in 2019
One quick question: after removing any of the preinstalled apps do they automatically get reinstalled after the first security update? What about major updates like Emui 11?

How much of an impact on your phone's battery life and performance does removing all the apps in your removal list has? I'm interested to know that if I remove all the preinstalled apps I will get a noticeable improvement in battery life.

I don't know for sure, because i've done this removal every single phone i had right of the box, just after set up . But you will have for sure better battery life because some of those apps can't be set on battery settings (ex. Chrome can't be stopped been used on background and some other apps) to stop using battery in backgroung or start once you restart your device. BUT be aware what you remove, make sure to check if you use any of them before removal.
For YouTube i recommend Youtube vanced (no ads and black interface) and for Messenger and Facebook (both without ads or any other unusefull stuffs) i recommend those apps from here

No, they are separatley signed apk's and in my case (i'm sure yours and others) don't receive PlayStore notifications to update or any other. PlayStore confirms they are installed and give you option to Uninstall just like in my bellow SS. They don't appear on your installed app list from PlayStore

Yes, i'm on EMUI 10, BUT i have Huawei launcher installed and using. So it seems that uninstalling Huawei launcher also disable recent apps on Huawei. I will post this info in OP. Try reinstalling it through ADB, on EMUI 9.1 worked reinstalling some apps or search it on Huawei apps app if you didn't removed it using ADB.

Can I ask why you use uninstall instead of pm disable?
Is the uninstall more effective?

uninstall also frees up the space used by apps and also it makes sure it won't get auto re-enabled by system. And one more thing, If i just disable them i observed that they are still consuming RAM (according to Developer Options >> Memory).
