Since there's no root or custom rom available I wanted to know exactly what can be disabled or turned off as they call it now to stop as much bloat from running as possible.
There's a bunch of things I've never heard of in the apps list and I'm not sure if they're essential or not. It would be great if we can compile a list here to help ourselves minimize the bloat while we wait for a root/flashing ability.
Thanks!
Here is a general Note 3 list: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2470862
AT&T-specific apps can all be frozen with Titanium Backup.
Hey, so package disabler pro + works on the Note 9, I've tried it and disabled a few obvious apps that I don't want or need. Problem is there is sooo much junk, i just don't know what's safe to disable and what isn't in most cases......now there are XML files for disabling all the crap in bulk, only they're all for other devices, does anyone know of one that's been made for the note 9, or have the ability to make one?
I think it would be a big help to many, not just me, it's also one more reason not to need root, especially when rooting our devices is a *****, also, package disabler works on the Snapdragon versions too.
I'll play around a bit and disabled as much as possible, then post the XML if I can, if a few of us did the same, then someone could amalgamate them all into one quick and easy debloat script.
Obviously there will be apps some people want but others don't, the point will be to have an XML that will disable everything that is safe to disable, then after, you can go through and just re enable any apps you do use
Just an idea, if anyone wants to help then feel free.
Okay I've attached my list, I can in no way guarantee this won't make your phone explode haha, what I can say is that my phone seems fine with all these disabled (N960F/DS) It could potentially stop something working the way it should, but it certainly won't do anything that can't be undone with a few simple taps.
Hopefully someone gets some use from it, and even better if anyone can add to it.
This was a good thread why did you all remove it???

Here is an excellent list of apks to disable.

Does anyone have a list of Note 9 Android apps that can be safely removed with adb? I've not done this before but am considering it as an alternative to rooting my N9600. And if someone knows of a primer on using adb to do this I'd appreciate it. I may end up rooting anyway but thought this should at least be tried first.
Adding this link... which describes the how. (Don't know how I missed it before):

I'll include a pic of the moment I deleted four facebook-related apps from my Note 9 using adb this morning. But I would very much like suggestions on what other system files could be removed in a debloating process here. I'm thinking about Bixby, for instance, but am unsure as to what will potentially be "broken" by me doing that. Other more obscure suggestions for app deletions also appreciated.
I don't think there's an actual list. There are many Note9 models, some have carrier stuff, others have other stuff. If it doesn't bother you I'd say leave it alone. I removed all preinstalled apps like MS Office ones and Facebook but that was about it. Never had problems with performance or battery life if that's your reason to remove everything there is & not just what bothers you
I got my Redmi Note 10 Pro a couple of weeks ago and I'm really liking it except for some issues. MIUI feels really bloated and sluggish even after using the adb tools to remove most of the pre-installed garbage. Battery life has been really disappointing even after going to 60hz and using low brightness. You also can't use a third party launcher with the full screen gestures and i hate the default launcher. I've been thinking about installing Pixel Experience as I've seen other people having better battery life and performance than on MIUI. It's also stock android so that's a cherry on top, but i don't know what sort of issues it might come with. First of all I don't know if all of my apps will work. I'm also scared that I might brick my phone and I'm not gonna be able to go back to MIUI if there are any issues. Also I might not get regular or quality updates and I don't trust the small team that works on the pixel experience rom more than Xiaomi. Can someone tell me if any of these issues exist and if it's worth it to use a custom rom? Thanks.
it is, I've been using debloated miui11 and 12 on tulip for over 2 years, it is much, much better than original miui. My wife has been using custom aicp on rn4x, and again, experience was much better, than on stock.
Apps will work in 99% cases, if not, there are tutorials how to install them. Stuff that you have to look over the most are banking apps, nfc apps and rn10p miui stock cam (which is actually better, than gcam mods now).
RN10p does not have anti rollback protection, it is generally easier to flash than smartphones based on mediatek cpus, so you must done some physical damage to actually broke this phone.
About OTA's - there are options to install ota updates on custom recovieries like skyhawk recovery project or others to twrp (this recovery does not have that option, as far as I know). If that fails, you can always install new version on top of the old.
Ok thanks a lot! Are there any suggestions you can give me on what rom i should use on the rn10p and can you give me any tips about installing and using custom roms? I'm new to this.
I've just started and installed pixel experience (normal, without plus, not sure, what is the difference between it, since even the size is the same). Firstly, you have to unlock your bootloader in order to proceed. Then make sure you've installed usb drivers for this phone (without it, you cannot unlock bootloader, for example, because miunlock does not see your phone).
About a rom - the cleaner the android, the better (mostly). If you aren't super tied to some special miui-only options (most noticeable being xiaomi account and preinstalled mi forum), then you are free to go. Phone is capable of running even fully packed android 11, so picking the lightest rom without gapps to save space doesn't have much sense these days (it had like 7 years ago, when internal storage was always a shortage). Most cool stuff are call recorder (blocked in official miui and in most european countries), small tweaks with gestures and buttons (most roms have it), tweaks like "long press menu button to torch" etc. You'll have to look for yourself later then, but for now just follow guide to install and read topics before instalation - in most cases if something goes wrong, you should be able to pick that from somebody's story. Also remember about backups of internal storage, music, photos, app installers etc, because all of it is gone with almost every operation.
Generally from MIUI there's one thing that You must take with you - camera app. So far stock is best. There are tutorials in pixel experience thread on how to install it. Also, I highly recommend root - you can make it only after unlocking bootloader, but being able to access deeper areas of system, uninstall unwanted stuff, get rid of ads etc is worth the try, especially if nowadays magisk instalation is really simple. For more advanced users, you could try to install edxposed manager to customize phone even more.

Thanks a ton for your help! I'll install pixel experience and try it out tomorrow. I'll root it and install the stock camera. Wish me luck.

I'm guessing, this is a joke, right? right?

Why would it be a joke? Not everyone is master of rom swapping and adb commands freshly out of the box. It is already much higher level than at least some people, who called their phones by Wrong models or keep asking for help, because they screwed their phones badly. Normal questions, if you ask me.

Exactly, Thanks!
My buddy got a new note 9 and needs help getting it back to as basic, stripped down as possible.
He's used to AOSP ROM's on other phones where there are no bells & whistles.
Just Internet and camera and like five other apps.
So, debloating, removing all the crap from status bar and pull-down menu.
I see there are no reliable AOSP ROM's available, so we need to do all this with the stock ROM.
I can root it and get rid of system apps, but I'm not sure what all can safely be removed.
And it's not my phone, so I can't use it and fix it as I go.
I need to do the work and then hand over the phone to him.
Also, does xposed GravityBox work well on the latest stock Android 10 firmware for this phone?
I figure that might get him a few mods he needs for an AOSP feel.
