Hi all. I've bought my first Huawei device this morning it being the P10, and was just wondering about changing the DPI in developer options. What numbers are good to use?
I use 400 DPI as i prefer it more.
I use 445 but on the plus.
btw has anyone figured out how to make this setting stay after a re-boot?
Maybe there is an xml or a line that works in one of the build.prop files (system or vendor)
Would be nice to have our own independent of the 3 default options as per DB menu.
When i change dpi in dev options of p10 to 420 then phone app and camera app got error display.
Please help me fix?
After Oreo update, it seems there's annoying bug/feature that automatically dims my screen when using camera, Facebook, chrome, pubg mobile etc.
I tried one temporary solution for that bug which actually works on my Huawei P10.
Let me know it this solution will work on your devices.
1. Turn-off Power Saving Mode
2. Go to Go to System>Developer Options>Increase Readability Under Sunlight> Toggle Off
3. Then restart and check your apps if it still auto dimming
And if you want permanently freeze or delete power genius...that solved my problem.
But I think because I delete it now in my power usage, software ia not showing...just hardware.
I dont know if its because I delete that or was a bug that I didn't notice))
where is developer options?

thank you very much. it works :good:
Possible solution !!

No more auto Dimmer !!

Thanks for all support
hello. I do not know why but it does not help me. only locking and then re-unlocking the screen restores the normal backlight and does not dim afterwards.sorry no good English.use Google translator. Olo
it doesnt help for me. any ide of this???
Works on my P10. Thanks!
Doesn't work on my Huawei Nova 3i
It seems that Velis Auto Brightness app from Google Play Store does the trick (Honor 10 Stock Pie).
Settings:
Automatic brightness: ON
track light in graph: ON
SETTINGS: (advanced):
Automatic brightness: ON
Disable system handler: ON
Start when screen turns ON: ON
Interactive notification: ON
All other settings off/default.
When you turn off the screen and turn it on, go for the first time in notification area and set your desired value in Velis.
Turn off automatic handling of this app in battery section (app start).
If you disabled animations in developer options, enable them again (0,5x for exanple) and see the magic.
NO more dimming at all.
Hi - I see this thread was originally written 2yrs ago, but I currently have this 'screen dimming in app' problem with my P10 Plus. It started in the last couple of months and may be related to a software update - I'm currently on EMUI 9.1.0.
The Developer option on this thread unfortunately didn't resolve the problem for me (perhaps that's not longer relevant now).
Can anyone offer any other advice?l to resolve this?
Thanks.
Device Settings Menu Guide, Tips & Discussions
Part 2 - Sounds and vibration, Notifications, Wallpaper and themes
If you're new to this series or want to see the index, please read the Introductory Post first.
Sound and vibration
Vibrate while ringing: I have enabled it as in environments where ringtone is not loud enough, vibrations in my pocket helps me.
Ringtone: Set Ringtone for each of your SIMs. Tap Add to add music from your storage. Select 'Highlights only' to play only a specified part of the track and not necessarily from the beginning. This way you can make ringtones from the music track itself but anyways here are the best ringtones sites. The existing catalog in the device has few nature-inspired tones - I've set it to 'Friday'.
Vibration Pattern: Specifies vibration pattern for your Calls. Choose it to something by which you can easily differentiate your calls from a standard notification from the initial vibration itself. I've set it to 'Off-beat'.
Notification sounds: You can set customized notification for each app in app's settings itself so set this one as a default notification - something short that won't annoy you. My choice is 'Twinkle'.
Volume: Play with them to find what suits you. In my case, System (touch sounds, back button sounds, etc.) is zero while notifications on the lowest side. You can still control them by pressing volume rocker and then expanding the pop-up.
Vibration Intensity: If you get annoyed, like I do, by vibrations for every notification, set it to zero or alternatively set it to a lower level while tweaking individual app notification settings to allow/disallow vibrations. 'Touch interaction' is for on-screen touches while 'Hard press home button' is for the hard home button in Note9.
Use Volume keys for media: I never wanted to control ringtone with volume rockers. Must be enabled!
System sounds and vibration: Touch sounds; Screen lock sounds; Charging sounds; Vibration feedback; Dialling keypad tones; Keyboard sounds; Keyboard vibration; Touch vibration: I've set it off; on; on; on; off; off; off (I use SwiftKey); on.
Advanced sound settings > Sound quality and effects, Separate app sound:
Dolby Atmos: Read about it here. I've set it to Auto. You can easily toggle modes from the notification bar itself (move it to first page).
Equaliser: Play with it to decide what's best for you. Here is an Equaliser guide for you so that you can play with the Advanced mode as well.
UHQ upscaler: Bit-upscaling works best for me. Read a pro analysis on UHQ upscaling modes here.
Tube Amp Pro; Concert hall: They are disabled when using Dolby Atmos. I prefer Dolby Atmos over either of them.
Adapt Sound: Do try it! Add trying a new profile for each of your earphones or audio device and personalise sound. You can try existing profiles and toggling Clear or Soft sound preference.
Seperate app sound: Useful in cases where you don't want an app's sound to play on your default audio device. I have set 'App' to Chome/Facebook and Audio device to 'Phone' so that they don't accidently play on the connected device in case Bluetooth is left on.
Notifications
App icon badges: Useful though I use similar feature 'Notification badges' in Nova Launcher.
Do not disturb: You can schedule it though I recommend Tasker or IFTTT for scheduling stuff. Do explore Allow exception > Custom to enable 'Repeat callers', allowing calls/messages from specific group, allowing event/task/reminders. Customize DND so that your 3rd-party (scheduling) apps when enabling it enables your customized settings. Review 'App rules' when set by them. Allow or disallow LED or visual notifications when DND is enabled.
Status bar: Since I usually get a lot of notifications, I've disabled 'Show recent notifications only'. It's not a bad idea to get the actual percentage of battery level so enable 'Show battery percentage'.
LED indicator: Enable and then try apps like LightFlow (Pro) to define pro LED settings.
App Notifications: You can customize each App's notification here itself or can do this simply in that App's settings. I prefer customizing App settings when they arrive in the notification bar by holding the notification and tapping settings. This way, in some time, you'll make your app notifications fully customized for all of those that bother you. With Pie, you have now greater control of each app's notification. You can even customize notification subcategories of a particular app. Do check 'silent and minimized' mode that doesn't create a mess in your notification panel as well as minimizes the content by default with no sound. Do you need a separate guide to master this? Do tell. You can also refer to a good article here.
Advanced:
Allow or disallow lock screen notifications, DND exception and Importance. As above, I prefer doing this via app settings when needed.
Menu: 'Show system apps' for customizing notifications of the bloatware. 'Reset preference' in case you believe you have messed up with all your notifications or you need a fresh start.
Wallpaper and themes
It will route you to Samsung Themes. I use seperate icon and theme packs for Nova Launcher. I do use AOD packs from the Themes. Do explore this section on XDA itself. I'm going to develop some themes (preferably AOD skins) soon and will let you know. Learn how to develop yours here.
-- Reserved for FAQs --
Is it just me, or am I completely missing the point of this? You've gone to all the trouble of explaining in great detail, a series of self explanatory settings.
It reads more as a long list just of what you have all your settings on haha.

Assuming that you have read the Introductory Post, I'm really sorry if it didn't work for you. I had tried to make sure that I don't iterate self-explanatory things that's why I haven't copy-pasted the descriptions that comes with the device. While exploring all the settings, I had to google many of them - maybe not a pro user like you. That's the reason I decided to compile this.
No worries if this series fails for everyone (though I believe there would be a group of users that I'd be able to help in anyway - maybe non-XDA users). Even if it's a no-go, moderators are free to close this thread. I always wanted to document the settings and this will at least help me in the future.
Peace.

Keep up the good work, please, finish the entire series. :good:
This is a great idea, if one feels they don't need it, they can simply move on to the rest of the device forum.
If nothing else it's a more detailed/user-friendly version of the OEM User guide.

Really gives me motivation, sir. I had already compiled the full series before moving to XDA. Three of total five parts are already posted. I was bit demotivated that's why was hesitating to immediately post the remaining two. They'll be posted within an hour now.
Thanks.

This is something I think should be a part of every device forum,especially the more popular devices.
Perhaps approach the powers that be @ XDA with the idea,to have this sort of breakdown of the phone,in its own sub-section of a device forum,to go along with the 5-6 existing sub-sections.
Such a section would address a lot of questions people have regarding their devices.
Maybe XDA will offer you (& others) a position on their staff to take this up................... :good:

Thanks for identifying the long-term goal of mine. I always wanted a single discussion space for similar kind of queries. While exploring every other unfamiliar setting on the device, when I googled them, I saw a lot of similar threads even in same website like XDA. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll surely try.
I'm now done with all the five parts (here is the index). I surely need more criticism to improve but I'm sure this is the way to go. I have been a pro mobile user since 2012 and I can bet on that most of the users have never explored even the basic settings in their devices. Even if I help a dozen of them, this is my success.
Thanks for supporting. Let's see how this works.
Why are you posting this ?
There's a very good "USER MANUAL" on the "Samsung"-site available:
User Manual Samsung Galaxy Note9

I'm really sorry for disappointing you. It would be nicer if you could tell me how to improve the content. Coming to your 'Why' part, I think I have already explained it in the Introductory Post as well as included the message in top of every part.
I had already gone through the User Manual before I decided to compile this. User Manual has over 300 pages and it's too descriptive. It's feasible for a step-by-step process of a specific feature with even describing every button click and combination. I've summarized every single one of them in 5 parts. No one is going to read the manual in one go but I was able to fresh start my device in few minutes by going through my documentation. This may be a bad idea but as @KOLIOSIS says, I also think that this should be a basic part of each device's forum.
If manual could answer everything, why are there multiple QAs on XDA with similar queries like these:
samsung pay fingerprint section greyed out
wifi power saving mode
phone visibility
bluetooth low energy
seperate app sound
These are only few ones which I have just find out by going through first 2 parts and picking up any settings randomly. And I have filtered out results from XDA only. You'll see hundred of similar posts over many forums. This is a new idea and I will be happy to admit even if it fails. I get no worries for trying something new.
Hi !
Have you some features that you wish to be included on Emui 8.0 but you have to find an app to make it happened ?
There is my list :
Caffeine > Caffeinate
More Quick Tiles options > Shortcutter Quick Settings
AdBlock > Blokada and Yandex
Merged Storage (or move apps to SD) > not found yet :crying:
Change DPI of the UI > not found yet :crying:
A good Dark/Black Theme that don't mess with the UI > Change DPI of the UI > not found yet :crying:
Don't hesitate to share !
Change DPI
You can change DPI by activating developer mode.
Thanks but it cause me glitches with several settings, did you found a stteing witch make it more compact and without bug?

Multiple user accounts, it's such a shame Huawei crippled that option when it's supported by the underlying operating system. No workaround that I know of...
Wish there was an auto setting for the backlight...
First world problem I know but it's not ideal to have to adjust brightness yourself
There is merged storage. Its just not clear how to do it. Go into settings, then storage. Underneath the SD Card option there is an option called storage settings, default location. Change it to SD card, the tablet will reset and you will now have joint storage. Works fine for me. Having the 16gb version with only 7gbs available was a real shocker for me. I wouldn't have purchased it, if i had known this. I mean, seriously, why do they need over 8 gigs for the OS+install files?
Anyway, I slapped in a 32gb card, did the above and all my apps install on the SD card now.

I suppose you are not speaking seriously. Have you checked your internal storage before and after installing some apps?
There's no way you can merge the memory. Wish it was that easy.

Tried few values between around 700, but UI gliched a bit, camera UI was broken and few buttons were on top of each other.
If anyone have a valid value we would appreciate it.
Thanks for answer.
This low DPI for 1920x1200 screen are not serious from Huawei...
I set 720 dp. Settings menu are glitched.

Hello,
Values 679 to 754 glitches settings menu.
I set Smallest Width at 678 dp.
I used face unlock on my 2014 Nexus 9. It's a shame they have REMOVED this feature from original android. I was thinking of getting a MediaPad M5 Pro AND a Mate 20 Pro. I'm glad I have bought this cheaper tablet before. I'll never buy anything else from huaweii again.

Pitch black theme for emui 8 in playstore, not noticeable bugs (if u dot touch rare sides in android settings menu, etc)
I'm about to buy this tab but can anyone tell me if this tab is upgradeable to pie version? I heard from rumors we gonna get pie.
No Screensaver on my Device
I bought the Huawei MediaPad T5 10 3GB/32GB and I am not able to find a Setting to activate a Screensaver.
Is my Tablet broken ?
Hey all, just got the 4gb t5. My first one had a backlight issue but new one seems pretty good!
My main issue was the size of the items on screen and the launcher. Lawnchair and lawnfeed solved the launcher easy enough but thought I'd share how I got to the item scaling menu.
I used the app quickshortcutmaker:
- Add widget to desktop, choose quickshortcutmaker
- Change search mode to normal
- Search for 'vision' and only one option should pop up, select that
- You can choose to make this a shortcut, or you can just hit test and it will open up the vision settings window.
- Choose view mode and said the item size down a notch!
This changes the display to be a little smaller without any glitches.
Hope this helps someone out!

It's called "smallest width" in developer options, but doesn't stick after a reboot. If you use the method I put above you should get the smallest ui and without bugs, and it seems to hold when I turn the tablet off then on
Increase value in system - > dev options - > smallest width

XIAOMIEU/miGlobe/ROS cleanup actions
BOOT SCRIPT
What it does:
* choose 7 categories of app removal
* disable 36 apps as per post 6 (preferred method, ppl can reenable)
* uninstall super sticky apps (i'd still prefer disabling by renaming, but didn't work)
* remove usage access for google (this is the only part not working - because of custom ROM, they say)
* recover hostname modified by xiaomi (privacy) (hardcoded, but could read it from settings in future)
* remove weird XiaomiEU app icons
* disable wifi diagnostics
* disable dumping of network
Download: file attached
Installation:
- run in su terminal or add to any startup script
ADAWAY LIST
What it does:
* adds as many Xiaomi servers to adblocker as possible
Download: file attached
Installation:
- open Adaway menu on the left and choose 'Your lists'
- click menu button on the top right and choose 'Import all lists'
- choose your file, and apply
What actions are needed after MIUI ROM is installed and what is already improved:
[automated] to disable:
Code:
Browser, Cloud Print, CloudServiceSysbase, com.mui.translation.xmcloud, com.xiaomi.micloudsdk.SdkApplication, Digital Wellbeing, Email, Google, Feedback, File Manager, Google Backup Transport, Google Calendar Sync, Google Contacts Sync, Google One Init Setup, Google Partner Set Up, Joyose, Mi Account, Mi Cloud, Mi Cloud backup, Mi Credit, Mi Video, Mi Wallpaper Carousel, MiCloudSync, Music, NextPay, Xiaomi service framework
[automated] to delete (can't disable):
Code:
FindDevice, Miuidaemon, MiuiHome, Xiaomi service framework
Disabling MiuiHome helps a lot as this launcher causes gfx problems (empty black screen) even when it's not selected as home provider.
Another tasks post flash weekly update:
- [automated] root magisk 19 (with one click in L.R.Team TWRP)
- [enhanced] reenable hosts in Adaway including attached custom Xiaomi blacklist
- [automated] remove /system/media/theme/miui_mod_icons
- [not working yet] redisable app permissions, 'Usage Access' and 'Modify system settings' (the later ensures first two are not enabled later - the aggressive Xiaomi/Google apps ignore user choices and help each other to restore permissions user doesn't like)
- redisable Device Admin, Trust admin (find my device, smart lock)
- [automated] LOG_PATH_FLAG=0 in cnss_diag.conf and /data/vendor/wlan_logs/ transformed to file - this is usually kept after ROM upgrade, this is where WiFi spying and tcpdumpin' takes place
- [automated] xiaomi pushes "Mi9" hostname, that's not privacy sensitive, need to setprop net.hostname [YOURNAME] on each boot (e.g. 3C script)
original bash
Oh i hate MIUI so much, but have to live with it until alt ROMs will come, fully supporting fingerprint, bluetooth, camera.
This MIUI (EU) is so aggressive overwriting all apps and dialogs in the system, and it's overall ugly and unnecessarily complex (except pro-looking charging animation, 24h wallpaper, and AOD). It blocks starting apps by default, it blocks app notifications by default. Battery ops are a joke, and all memory cleaner triggers kill virtually everything running. Zero respect for high prio notif apps running. It's so modified that tons of xposed modules won't have impact. It even annoys with data connection dialogs, download operations.. they stick their nose everywhere. I don't trust this company at all, so i've taken stronger measures and zero byte to Xiaomi policy.
In first round of making this phone less retail and more pro is
- revoke all authorizations (get the hell out Xiaomi)
- stop feeding device ids (oh they even have choice for it, but i need more complex and trustful blocking via Xposed) to xiaomi apps
- delete xiaomi account, now that won't stop findDevice and other cloud nonsense from running (contradiction to Xiaomi statement findDevice not supported on unlocked bootloaders)
- disable xiaomi packages via titanium/3c:
Code:
BugReport.apk
CloudBackup.apk
CloudService.apk
CloudServiceSysbase.apk
GoogleBackupTransport.apk
Joyose.apk
MiGalleryLockscreen.apk
MiVideo.apk (useless app without DLNA)
Music.apk (useless app without DLNA)
NextPay.apk
ThemeManager.apk
but hey, it's not always possible, some apps can't be disabled, this aggression can be stopped by not deleting but renaming the files in /system/[priv-]app e.g.:
Code:
FindDevice.apk.disabled
MiuiDaemon.apk.disabled (can be disabled but will still show up, what)
MiuiHome.apk.disabled
- firewall block any remaining xiaomi apps to stop Baba/Baidu etc connections
Rinse and repeat til you see no data transferred in the network monitor.
Some UI fixes already done:
- AOD doesn't show any notifs -> use "MIUI AOD Notification icon" xposed module, however, it will show too much (not configurable)
- Notch is ugly like hell, can't smart-crop it like OnePlus(R) -> use Notch Remover app (i'd like some system solution rather, due to performance reasons)
- AI button can be fully configured, forget MIUI choices and install xposed Edge
- Device health, the new feature, is hidden, just trigger it via activities, then create the app icon via its UI for convenience
- several vanilla dialogs are accessible via Settings search or activities like appops, notifications
- navigation [bar] enhanced by xposed Edge
I applaud:
- existing offline cron-able backup (although it won't save 90% of system settings which is so needed on this ROM)
- complex data usage configuration
- not hiding call recording, no need for xposed tweaks
- good battery info (wide icon, great animations and LED confirmation), oh yeah, Qi people do need this for practical reasons
- all recent micro tweaks like click on clock on quick settings opens clock
-notif. light, samsung style - great , double tap wake, raise2wake (producing too many smp2p-sleepstate wakelocks) - also great
I (or hopefully a ROM author) would like to fix this:
- remove their Security (which i think includes all memory and battery handling), PermissionManager nonsense
- remove status bar alarm icon, just go already! (fix via xposed and 3c didn't work! it's on the left)
- reduce status bar height to align with notch (xposed plugin didn't work)
- show batt% when notifs are expanded (batt% is literally nowhere to be shown, not in Battery details either, unless you turn on % status bar icon which is annoying, want to see % only when expand quick settings just like on other phones - that is user friendly)
- this UI overwrite app icons, omg..why.. of course i don't use their lausy home app (which doesn't even bring Pie swipe-to-apps action), but twisted icons will show up in all system dialogs
- Pie navigation [bar] is only good in vanilla pie, Samsung OnePlus and Xiaomi managed to destroy it by customizations, would love AOSP style in full screen mode (navbar-less), Xiaomi additionally created "original" swipe-from-right Back action, which interferes with GBoard swipes
- how to enable either Oreo or original Pie recents? used to tweak it via xposed Edge on note9,6t
- the MAC is not randomized, are you kidding me + device name you set won't matter when you make connections, they push Mi9-Mobile name, i don't like both for privacy reasons
- weather widget (where is it), linking weather cities to clock cities
- AOD only on notification with a preview (OnePlus style)
- voice navigation in Camera, this will require a different app
- remove all stupid confirmations with timeouts with several seconds
- "this UI overwrite app icons" -> fixed by using Global dev version
i tried the Global Dev ROM http://en.miui.com/download-361.html and i was shocked that it's the same firmware except those ****ty icons! not much missing, very very little things only.. few more processes (like facebook snitchware), the firewall blocked them proactively.. no byte sent. will be cleansed quickly. i saw Night mode and 48mpix mode in camera briefly but it depends on kernel somehow. weird. so weird brand.

Getting massive smp2p-sleepstate wakelocks - even with double tap and raise to wake disabled. Any idea what else could be causing this?

AOD, double tap to wake, pocket lock, handwave gesture, out-of-pocket gesture..some of those.. i just tested disabling this wakelock and it didn't help battery life. but i have a parasitic magisk/xposed drain now so maybe i don't spot the difference right now.
Achieved good battery life in the end. No bad wakelocks at all. I have a temporary AOD set, d.tap to wake, so this is not causing it. Now i will turn on Pocket lock back. I guess just like it was written in the other thread, the wakelocks are caused by the doze gestures ("Phh" menu in Settings).
Vaste majority of glitches above are fixed in the AOSP ROM. Definitely far better than any Xiaomi ROM tested. Next time i wouldn't waste any time with Xiaomi software IF the classic root unfriendly functionality works (fp, bt-car, cam..). That will be precondition for a buy in future, and 2 week unlock period will be considered hard too. If OnePlus will put QC/QI to model 8, that'll be the next phone.
Root-friendly brands:
1/ OnePlus (all easy, ROM is ok to keep, all functions kept) - WINNER
2/ LG (pretty easy, lil bit functionality can be lost, but they keep back fingerprint & community don't care about their new models -> dead brand)
3/ Xiaomi sort of (difficult unlock, terrible software, very difficult flashing, all functions kept)
4/ Samsung sort of (problems with some functionality, more and more obstacles for developers, Knox, bad battery....tired of it)
Gutripping list - what to do after installation/upgrade of MIUI

Why don't you just buy another phone? It's easier...
What's worse for one.... Isn't for another.
I have got pretty good SOT 6 hours on wifi around 5 on mobile network.
I like Miui...and all the Chinese oehhhh they are spying tin foil head stuff come on...
XiaomiEU app icons can be removed here: non-destructively rename /system/media/theme/miui_mod_icons (thanksgod)
Magisk compatible: 19.0+ (not booting with any earlier version)
QuickStep compatible: no
Still can't find link to Running services, they really care to hide it. This activity Settings\com.android.settings.RunningServices gets overwritten by app info which counts size on disk but at least give backdoor to original app properties.

my SOT is easily above 10hours sadly i can't find a modern phone, with rootability, wireless charging, fingerprint not in the back. forget SD card, notches and tons of other requirements.. so this is a list:

discount unrootable huawei, nokia and i'm literally stuck with just S10 and Mi9. it's so bad situation. S10 struggles with root yet as Samsung created yet another tricks. Soon rooting will be a hate speech and we'll be arrested
Thank you for looking into all this and writing it up here.
I was tempted to give MIUI a go temporarily since everything else is early stages right now, but I think I'll wait for the GSIs instead. And hey, "just buy another phone or willingly give up your privacy to megacorps and the government" is pretty great if you'd like to live in a dystopia at some point

@doggydog2 grow up.... Playing a game who has the largest....?? I was just saying with it the phone and software isn't that bad.
Buy a Pixel or OP
@xephyris
Ghehehe man man man..... Like you have privacy in 2019...wake up...
So giving all your **** to Google is no problem for you...?
Are you using miui.eu from (xiaomi.eu) or global rom EU version?
The op sounds like he came here to promote Oneplus for some reason.
(duplicit)
@xephyris thanks, GSI is strong already except the fingerprint not excellent. i'm watching git changes, literally reading the code, and can't wait for more fixes.. for an AOSP - not bad status already with fp,bluetooth,camera,aptx working. Let's talk about other device AOSPs with features missing.. GSI is generic but when devs actually own the device, the progress is far batter (FlokoRom being the best, now new TWRPs progressing).
@*justintime* don't understand what you blab about, i was just saying what is the situation. as you're long member, you should have remembered the golden times where all this stuff was easy and you could choose any mobile. and no "nonsense to fix in next generation" existed like notches or back fingerprints. also i'm giving little to Google, have zero ads, cleaned fingerprints of my internet activity, device data is cloaked etc to the extent i actually don't need to clean up Xiaomi processes. i do have privacy in 2019.. that's something i'm not even describing here as it's generic, here i fight the specific xiaomi bloat. when i sniff my network connections or trace personal data usage, i am satisfied. it's very clean.
@rasmali ..and not promoting, as i spend too much time to fix this Xiaomi, it's pretty hard from unlock process, TWRP problems, Gapps problems, battery issues, camera issues to the MIUI. Also tested all ROMs, kernels, recoveries so i'm sharing/getting the knowledge to make sure we all later profit. maybe i'll script the cleanup process from post #6. true the OnePlus is cool, i did just single flashing/restoring process there for me and one for another person, and it's perfectly working from A to Z.. it's shocking easy compared to Mi9. just lacking QC+Qi:/
Keep posting updates, as you im trying to find a solution for the Running services.

Which problem you have disabling it through adb?

i've heard it could cause a bootloop...have you done it through adb and can you direct me towards how you did it?

Introducing Xposed plugin "MIUI Anesthetist".
It will help disable the above ultra-sticky services which cannot be disabled (and we're not talking about normal system dialogs, we're disabing with root tools already).
However the author doesn't realise the spy company Xiaomi made 2 of them even more ultra-sticky: Miuidaemon, Xiaomi service framework.
The Xiaomi invented the way to load those even when disabled. As you can see in "Running services"* the processes are active.
*I'm kidding - you won't see it there as Xiaomi disabled this transparency tool, you need another root tool to check running processes.
So you still need to rename them in /system/[priv-]app folder.
Plus the FindDevice "disabled" with help of this plugin will make many error popups by another part of the system which tries to trigger it at all cost.
so it looked good first, as disabling would ultimately bring the convenience of setting and forgetting even during ROM updates.
That's not the case, so there's still maintenance needed as in the post 6.
