As of Sep 20th 2018, mine came with Amazon OS version 5.3.3.0. There is NO root for this version yet (not kingroot or any other sketchy chinese utility, I tried a bunch in a VM). There is hope, considering the stupid-low price ($35) can get it into many developer's hands.
To disable packages via ADB, some commands you find while searching don't work, as they are formatted incorrectly. The correct way to enable or uninstall packages is:
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.vendor.packagename
or
Code:
adb shell pm enable --user 0 com.vendor.packagename

This is well covered territory. A few comments:
- FireOS builds for 32-bit architecture have been resistant to root exploits for 18+ months; few (if any) true developers are working on cracking this trailing edge gizmo
- on an unrooted device 'pm uninstall' simply deactivates packages located in the system partition; target app remains installed and still consumes space
- once deactivated via the above method there is no way to reactivate the app short of a factory reset or reload of FireOS (reinstalling app won't work)
- on an unrooted device 'pm install' is only useful for packages resident in the data partition
- thanks for confirming the Play Store installation method used by hundreds (possibly thousands) of individuals and featured in several predominant publications actually works...good to know

There is an entire forum dedicated to this device populated with dozens of threads and thousands of posts. Even an index. Suggest digesting some of that material before opening a thread. New info is always welcome.
First of all i highly recommend you update your phone to latest version of Flyme as of day i write this guide newest stable version is 7.0.0.0G. It brings various bug fixes as well as security update and new functions. It fixed the weather problem too when it would not appear on secondary screen. This is my experience based on the standard model with Helio P25 chip.
JUST IN CASE BACKUP ALL OF YOUR DATA FIRST
Grab it at http://www.flymeos.com/firmwarelist?modelId=88&type=1
Installation is pretty straightforward:
-switch off your phone
-now press volume up button and power button at same time, then release power button when meizu logo appears
-phone now will enter update mode, connect it to pc and it should show up as removable drive named recovery, copy the update.zip over it
-once copied tap the start button to begin. the process itself and first boot will take a while
-when done and phone boots up just log in to your accounts and set up everything as normal or whatever
ta-dah ! you should be running latest software now.
Next problem i've encountered was big number of unwanted apps and you will need working ADB for that. I've always used custom roms which did not contain bloatware. Now im giving you one of the way of disabling them (not permanent removal).
For this to be done you need to activate developer mode and usb debugging, simply go to settings->about phone->and now tap on your build number several times
After you activate it it will be available in accessibility options under developer settings. just check the usb debugging and you're good to go
DISCLAIMER: dont ask me about adb drivers for your phone, since i had issues installing them under win 10 x64 build 1803 i thought "aw f*ck it" and just did it on linux where everything worked out of the box.
The application you will need is called Ice Box (you will find it here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.catchingnow.icebox&hl=en_US) and install it.
After you install the app its necessary that you remove ALL of your accounts including your Google account. We will need to grant the app device owner permission. Also if multi-user or guest mode has been set on your device, it need to be closed or deleted.
When you have that done just type in your command line , terminal or whatever "adb shell dpm set-device-owner com.catchingnow.icebox/.receiver.DPMReceiver "
Now reboot and add your accounts back, and disable/freeze uwanted apps.
Last - the night mode. As its no longer availble in Flyme 7 if you want to use it you need to manually bring it back by installing Flyme Lab and enabling it trough quickshortcutmanager. Install both apps, then open quickshortcutmanager and search for Flyme Lab. expand it and choose the activity named com.meizu.flymelab/com.meizu.flymelab.component.nightmode.NightModeSettingsActivity .Create shortcut and open it. You should be able to enter the night mode.
Nice guides, thanks.
It's also nice that Flyme 7 still supports rooting, therefore I'm using Titanium Backup to freeze unwanted apps. I bought it when I was using another phone so, for me, it's still worth it. Altough, for uninstalling system apps I'm using separate ADB commands for each app.

Its first time for me writing a guide so good word is always appreciated. What im trying to show here is the no root way of getting rid of apps for ppl like me who dont want to root their phone. As i bought it literally two days ago and i dont want to mess with it too much and loose warranty or/and OTA updates.
I also been considering posting a root guide once i tried it myself to confirm it working.

Well, before I discovered a rooting method for Flyme 7, I used to uninstall apps by using ADB commands. So, yes, it is possible to remove unwanted system apps without root. But now, after rooting Flyme 7, I'm only using Titanium Backup to freeze unwanted system apps, not removing them.
As far as I know, rooting Meizu phones by the official method (from Settings) does not lead to losing warranty. Only OTA updates are lost, but this is not important, at least to me, because I can always check Flyme website for new updates and, if I want to update, I just download the file and flash it through standard Flyme recovery. There is no need, for me, to maintain OTA capability. Anyhow, Flyme updates are slow to non-existent, so we can't really complain about losing an update.
Thank you all. I'm happy with this phone at all, but software has few shortcomings and design flaws, in my opinion. Especially related to the integration with "flyme login" and Touchpal. This last one is very annoying because although I try to stop it, at each software update it comes back, more annoying than ever. So, I have some questions: which is the adb command to stop and freeze bloatware without rooting? Which is the official way to root the phone? Once rooted, is it possible to revert to the unrooted state? Some apps, actually, do not work on rooted phones. Thanks

I can't freeze (or disable) apps with ADB commands, only uninstall.
You need [email protected], App Inspector or similar (to find exact name of package for an app) and these commands:
adb devices
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 name_of_package
Example, for gmail:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.gm
Regarding rooting, as far as I know, the only method that works on Pro 7 / Pro 7 Plus is also supported by Meizu (but it breaks OTA updates).
The method is described in this video (in russian) but it's quite easy.
If you want to remove root (or if root breaks functionality) you have to reflash the same ROM from Recovery (without wipe).
Any air update coming soon? Or manually installation single option?
Does anyone know how to completely remove Google services on EMUI 10? Maybe some ADB commands because I can not disable core services from GUI? I don't need their bloatware, especially after they added COVID s*it inside.
Thanks a lot and have a nice day!

Download "package name viewer 2.0" from market then open it and Search for "package name" for the app you want to delete,,
Open adb on your computer
Put those codes :
- adb devices
If you see an entry listed under the “List of devices” section, then your device is connected.
- adb shell
- pm uninstall -k --user 0 package-name
For example you want to delete google play services app,, open package name app and search for package name for that app,, will be "com.google.android.gms"
So..
- pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.gms
So do this with the rest of the apps you want to delete..
Will factory reset restore all removed packages, just in case something goes wrong?

Damn, I have to be 100% sure because the phone is not rooted so no way to make full system image. Maybe reflash with HiSuite will help, I don't know...

Hi @domy_os, did you ever manage to remove Google Play Services? And did you find out if it came back after a factory reset?

Yes, but I have restored it because some crypto apps (still) depend on Google.

That is an interesting tool. I will have to check that out. Right now, I am running LineageOS with MicroG (an open source replacement for Google Play Services) on a Samsung S10+ (SM-G975F). But because it is the international model (the only ones that support unlocking the bootloader) I do not have all LTE bands enabled and so I have poor reception in places (not terrible but I am concerned about when I go into rural areas).
So, now I am thinking about getting a Canadian model and de-bloating it instead of running an alternative ROM.

3. Yes I tried , downloaded latest apk (xiaomi miui org) and it doesn't work. Yes because must be device specific and couldn't find Mi11 dialer to download .... Which sucks ! Just love the piano dials!

I wrote email to Nova and I got instant reply:
"Hello,
Thank you for contacting Nova Launcher support. Below is a lot of information that we encourage you to read completely as it will answer your questions or other questions you might have related to the full system gestures in Android 10, Android 11 and going forward.
PLEASE READ THIS EMAIL IN FULL!
Home/Default Launcher Constantly Being Reset
If you are experiencing issues with Nova not staying as the default launcher on Android 10 or Android 11, these first steps are for you specifically.
If you are having issues with Nova staying as your default launcher, try this: Reboot your device. Or you can try Phone Settings -> Apps -> Default Apps -> Home App -> Nova Launcher. You might need to do this several times and reboot several times for this to fix the issue.
This is a very well known issue on Samsung and other devices, but specifically with new updates directly from Samsung starting as early as December 1st, 2020.
If this doesn't fix your issue, then you need to contact Samsung directly as the issue is on their end, with their update and has nothing to do with Nova or any other launcher, as this issue will happen in all 3rd party launchers.
The issue above isn't just for Samsung users, though the issue happens on every Samsung device that's gotten an update since December 1st, 2020.
Everything mentioned below is still present with the release of Android 11 on September 8th, 2020. Google has made it very clear that they have no plans to completely fix gesture-related issues any time in the near or even distant future.
Please take note that Google admits to this being broken on their end of things and that a fix will be coming in a future update to Android (stated March 2019).
However, it's now well over a year later and there are still many issues with full system gestures and 3rd party launchers on both Android 10 and Android 11. These issues will remain for the foreseeable future as Google have now made it clear that they have no plans to completely fix their full system gestures.
Notable issues with gestures on third party launchers include, but not limited to:
Close all/Clear app button not appearing(scroll all the way to verify it's not there)
Not being able to tap icons for a short time after returning to the home screen
Animations not being as fluid as expected
Screen blinks
Home screen icons blink
Home screen refreshes
Please understand, there is absolutely NOTHING WE CAN DO TO FIX OR CHANGE THIS IN ANY WAY! Contact Google or your device OEM directly with these issues as we have absolutely no control over it whatsoever.
Samsung Users
Samsung has allowed full system gestures to be used within 3rd party launchers with their One UI 2.5 update. This means you can now enable and use gestures, but there are still several issues regarding animations and the like.
As stated, there is nothing that Nova (or indeed any other 3rd party launcher) can do about this and it is ultimately up to Google and OEMs to fix navigation gestures.
Google's statement and Nova's statement
Google: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2019/07/android-q-beta-5-update.html
Nova: https://help.teslacoilapps.com/faq/gesture-navigation
Enabling Gestures
As of the December 2019 Security Patch from Google, you can now enable full system gestures within 3rd party launchers on Pixel devices. However, the caveat of this is that you are likely to experience the issues mentioned above. To reiterate, this is still all up to Google to fix at some point in the future and to get things working 100% the way everyone expects them to be.
If and when you experience issues with gestures on 3rd party launchers, we highly recommend you contact Google and not Nova Support because, as we have said, there is absolutely nothing we can do to fix Google's problems.
Devices From Other Manufacturers
As some members in this Discord have noticed, some devices from certain manufacturers provide a reasonably usable experience with gestures. In particular, OnePlus devices on Oxygen OS 10 and above behave reasonably well with gestures.
This is because OnePlus (and other manufacturers) are using their own implementation of gestures rather than Google's which means that you might not get all of the issues referenced above. However, just like before, we (Nova) have no control over these and any issues you do experience should be brought up with the manufacturer and not us.
Action Launcher's False Claims
Action Launcher made an announcement back in late December 2019 which is completely misleading. When stating that they support system gestures, They are referring to the back swipe edit zones and other features within the app not interfering with Android's own system gestures.
As stated before, full system gestures are completely controlled by Android and are not something a launcher can just suddenly add support for or change in any way. When using gestures with Action Launcher, you'll quickly notice that the experience has just as many issues as it does with Nova or any other 3rd party launcher, reiterating the point that it is not something that any third party launcher can change or improve."
If I understood this correctly its MIUI problem...
1. Stereo upper speaker stoped working today.
Had this issue on Chinese rom and it happened again on Global. Is anyone experiencing this? It start working again after restart and calls...
2. Anyone know how to change haptic for the fingerprint unlock? It is disaster. If it can be switched off just for fingerprint unlock that would be the best! Or some tweak to vibrate differently?
[Update! 2. Solved] Haptic for fingerprint unlock on 12.5 rom is completely different in a better way. And so are the fingerprint animations
Hello, I don't know if this will be the best thread to ask my question, but I think so.
I just bought a XIAOMI MI11 (I had always had Samsung) and I am very happy except for the dialer: I don't like the Google dialer or the contacts at all.
I know I have several ways to fix it:
1. Rotating the mobile and installing the apps manually.
2. Installing the ROM xiaomi.eu
But both methods imply loss of warranty, and I am not attracted to the idea of losing the warranty of a high-end terminal with only a few weeks.
Is there any way to do it WITHOUT LOSING THE WARRANTY?
I can think of two ways, but I don't know if they are possible:
1. Would it be possible to install a Stock ROM that has these apps? Maybe the Indian version?
2. Could I root the phone, install the apps and then unroot it? I know you have to unlock the bootloader, could I lock it again?
Doing this leave a mark? Samsung, for example, activates a bit that showed a yellow warning triangle every time the mobile software had been modified, and it was never removed again. Here is the same thing happening or is it reversible?
Thanks for the help, if it is not possible, I will try to get used to the idea, but it is sad to have a high-end phone and not being comfortable with some apps ...

You don't loose your warranty so don't worry.
For now you can not download dialer apk and install it manually on global rom, believe me I have tried it , like you I am hating google dialer and contacts. But the rom is stable and that works for me. We just need to wait for some developer to make MIUI dialer work on global rom.
{CORRECTION} - You can install EU rom which has MIUI dialer and when you flash it just click on the option "clean all and lock" and the phone will have locked bootloader with new software. - {you don't install EU rom with xiaomi fastboot tool , you just click on the bat file and I don't think there is a option to lock}

There is no yellow markings or anything like that. So no worries.
Also you don't need to root your phone so you can install apps. And you can uninstall system apps with adb commands without rooting your device. Its very simple. Just google it.

Thank you very much, Asnamus, for amswering so quickly. I have a couple of doubts:
1. You said that I cannot install the apk manually (I have also tried it and X- closes) but that if we wait, a modified one will come out. However, I have searched and there is nothing similar for users of other terminals (mi9, mi10 ...). Do you think someone will adapt the app?
2. If I install XIAOMI.EU you say that I can check the option "clean all and lock", what program is it in, with XiaoMiTool? Would that close the bootloader and unroot them? But the manufacturer would still know that it is not an original rom and it would affect the warranty, right? And is it updated via OTA?
3. Finally, you said that I can install and uninstall apps without being root with ADB commands, but I have read that if you uninstall the apps, you should brick the phone, is there a risk with the dialer app or with messages? Have you tried doing it? I found this guide (sorry, it's in Spanish) https://c.mi.com/oc/thread-3292740-1-0.html?mobile=no but it shows a list of safe apps to uninstall and the dialer doesn't appear among them. And it does not it seem to let me install from there.
Cheers and thank you again.
1. I sure hope so! If not maybe I will switch to EU rom just because of MIUI dialer.
2. Yes Xiaomi flash tool https://www.xiaomiflash.com
You return device to store where you bought it not to the manufacturer. Research more about that , "returning bricked phone with unlocked bootloader ." For example. I have never returned so I don't know what will happen.
3. Yes I did uninstall lot of system apps also some that are not on the list. But I didn't wrote down which apps did I uninstall. You can go in to apps and select show all apps and scroll and click on app and you will have (i) in the top right corner, click on that and it will show you which app is it and than just google it is it safe. All this process require some problem solving and some skills, if you are not sure and never done it (installing rom and other) maybe its better you don't do it. I went through a lot of errors and stayed all night and half next day but on the end I successfully installed this global 12.0.3.0 rom.
Bricked devices is not dead and broken, everything is fixable. And you can do it by yourself you just need to have some skills and don't be afraid good luck

1. You said that I cannot install the apk manually (I have also tried it and X- closes) but that if we wait, a modified one will come out. However, I have searched and there is nothing similar for users of other terminals (mi9, mi10 ...). Do you think someone will adapt the app?
2. If I install XIAOMI.EU you say that I can check the option "clean all and lock", what program is it in, with XiaoMiTool? Would that close the bootloader and unroot them? But the manufacturer would still know that it is not an original rom and it would affect the warranty, right? And is it updated via OTA?
3. Finally, you said that I can install and uninstall apps without being root with ADB commands, but I have read that if you uninstall the apps, you should brick the phone, is there a risk with the dialer app or with messages? Have you tried doing it? I found this guide (sorry, it's in Spanish) https://c.mi.com/oc/thread-3292740-1-0.html?mobile=no but it shows a list of safe apps to uninstall and the dialer doesn't appear among them. And it does not it seem to let me install from there.
Cheers and thank you again.

You use the Xiaomi.eu now. Have the MIUI Dialer a Spam call identifier?

I found a nice and easy way to get rid of bloatware, WITHOUT root, and using Rakesh's bloatware list.
How To Remove Bloatware From Any Xiaomi Devices (Without Root): Easiest Way!
Have you just gotten a new phone and is it already filled up with a bunch of spooky apps preinstalled? Have you tried long pressing and dragging them up your screen to uninstall? Alas! There isn’t …

Xiaomi Bloatware List | Remove Bloatware on MIUI 14/13/12
Find the list of safe-to-remove Xiaomi and MIUI bloatware. Learn how to uninstall system apps on MIUI 14, 13 & 12 via Xiaomi ADB/fastboot tools.
technastic.com
But when I try it, I get stuck after installing Java SE Development Kit–and Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools, when the software will not recognize my phone. (USB debugging was done)
This is new phone. What else do I need to have, before this will work? Some accounts? A simcard??
Thank You
I guess adb drivers are missing. To installing that. And why don't you use simple adb after installing drivers.
Adb shell
Pm uninstall --user 0 <package name>
Pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name>
Would recommend first one, second retains cache and some data.
Yes it's a less intuitive way, but I prefer this doing everything myself, at least trying to rely on less and less dependencies.
But using adb doesn't free up space, it's more like it just disables app, the only difference is that in both the cases APK is still in system, just don't show up in settings like as it will remain shown when disabled.

Thank you for that list.
My problem is different..... I already have a list and I will of course compare it with yours. What I do not have is ACCESS.
The "usual" system, which I found here:
Does not recognize my phone. Probably, because I use no google or any other accounts. So I need to know what is needed to to access the bloatware, no matter what list I use...
