Question Removing bloatware - POCO M3 Pro / Redmi Note 10 5G

How does one do that?

How to disable any pre-installed system app bloatware on Android without root
If you hate the bloatware or pre-installed apps on your Android smartphone, here's how to disable them even if Android doesn't normally let you.
www.xda-developers.com

I tried adb on an older phone. It doesn't really remove them. it disables them and they don't appear in the app drawer anymore.
correct?

Correct. Well it at least don't drain your battery anymore. But it still takes up the storage. If you really want to squish the most storage out of the phone and store a few gigs more photos or videos, you can flash a custom ROM.

I understand. I tried it. they're no longer visible. thank you!

You can also use this handy tool to remove or disable these bloatwares

I'm not sure if it's safe to remove Play Store because many Google's APPs are interconnected with the phones' settings, but I might be wrong.

it's safe (for my use). but i have only disabled not uninstalled. play store is not play services. is only an app store. so all google apps works fine also without it. aurora store is a very good alternative. it have a filter for search only apoa without afs. very helpfull. when i must to use play store for some updates, simply i re enable it

It's pretty easy to disable / delete stuff with ADB, as others have said. But beware if you use screencasting that you need the two packages -- commonly categorized as bloatware in many tutorials -- or casting won't work.
I idiotically removed them on all my Xiaomi phones and although you can theoretically reinstall them, I basically can't screencast anymore (it starts, but then blackscreens):

If you remove any system apps, future updates will fail. You will need to replace all the apps removed with the proper permissions or you will need to flash system.img before applying the update.

I have root on my N4, when you say remove, are you referring to the "disable" option under the apps menu? Also, not all the apps on this list are in the apps section, how do you recommend removing those? Tibu?

It is safe to disable but if you remove any of these, updates will fail unless you re-flash or put the apps back with the proper permissions. I don't recommend removing any of them. Just disable what you don't want to use.

Thanks, when you say "updates", are you referring to Android updates? So to get an update, do the apps need to be enabled first (if disabled)? Also, whats the difference between disabling them and removing them? I assume disabling means they are taking up disk space on the phone but not running while removing means they are wiped from the phone?

When we say updates, we mean updates to the OS. For example, going from 4.2 to 4.3. If you disable the apps, the OS updates will apply without a problem so there is no need to re-enable them. You are correct, disabling them just prevents them from running but they are still there. Removing them is deleting the .apk file. Even re-naming the .apk file will cause OS updates to fail. Each OS update looks for all the .apk files and if it can't find any of them, the update fails.

Yes! If you know how to use adb you can use my tool to change the Launcher, install Google Services and Remove the lockscreen ads, the tool will also remove the boatware, keep in mind that all you will be left with is Camera and Settings if you use my tool to get rid of the bloatware.

Thank you very much. I will check it out.

Which Rom do you use, and why did you choose it?[/U][/B]

V119system-arm32_binder64-ab-ufOfficial-nosu
I'm using this rom because it is fast and stable. Suddenly the screen touch and power button are lag-free(compared to miui). No more mid call ear-dialing because of the proximity sensor. Xaiomi mui was terrifying me with invasive behavior and permissions so I just wanted any alternative. -Truly, I don't know very much about custom roms, but I like this one.
I have most things working on this rom, but I was not able to configure microG to work with embedded maps, and I cannot log into ebay, leboncoin, and surely others which require whatever I'm missing. I'm thinking to install a "Gapps" rom because I don't really have the skillset to tweak microG. Apparently others have been succesful with microG.
So... I would like to know from other users of this phone:
Which Rom do you use, and why did you choose it?
Thank you for your time!
I use the same rom. It's fastest than miui, but not that different regarding battery, I think, unless I'm doing something wrong.
MicroG is a must, but not prodution ready yet.
I'm using Aurora store to be able to install things from google store, and used it to install Gapps browser (to access google maps) and Evie launcher.
What I miss compared to miui:
An option to disable GPS (this could potentially save battery)
I can't login to google. Not sure it's a bad thing, tho
There's no way to automatically turn off/on on schedule (this could potentially save battery).
Still exploring options, but I'm feeling very limited.
Just my 2c

Great info!
I'm using aurora, fdroid and dev sites for apk. I'm using "mini desktop" as a launcher, because after all that rooting work, letting google search bar take over the prime real estate on my screen was just too much! Mini desktop structure keeps all apps present on home screen which forces me to organize folders and have a more structured(like a desktop) experience. you can also create a "hide" list on the desktop, or display darkened icons for hidden apps.
-I also wish there were gps switches.
Mostly I wish the V119system-arm32_binder64-ab-ufOfficial-nosu rom had more access to settings in general.
I think from reading around that legacy os has tons of settings, I may try one of those roms when they are available.
-Im going to try Gapps browser to see if I can connect the maps functionality and be half/googled before I let google take over and do a full cavity search. Thanks for that info.
If I change roms, I'll post a quick follow up in here.
same rom as OP. It is light and battery friendly for me. I get over 3 days of battery (screenshots in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-7a/review/screen-time-t3962077). MicroG works well for me. I did run into issues but I followed instructions from the MicroG github repo carefully and did plenty of cache clearing and data clearing for the microG apps and then reinstalled via Magisk's MicroG installer. Afterwards the GSF id appeared on the DeviceID app and then proceeded with registration of the device. I dont use Google apps and source Playstore apks via AuroraStore. I also use f-droid for other open source apps. Also All the apps that require google maps and play services work just fine. Particularly Uber which requires location and maps. I use it daily with no issues. Even banking apps and online shopping apps work fine for me. There are however still some apps that give issue for others, but luckily I dont use them yet. See here: https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/wiki/Problem-Apps
I will stick to using this app, but I want to try the new Android 10 GSI since we now have a arm32binder64 A/B rom for AOSP. Im just lazy to do a backup of my current setup but I successfully booted it on my Nokia 8 a few days ago.

Can i get a direct link for both of your ROMS and MicroG?
For now, Ill stay with miui 10.2.6. Why? Because it just works well and does what I want. I don't expect any more, at least for now. Even photos from gcam one app flips on my card... Test different roms, write "guides for a moron" then maybe more people will be tempted if it is easy ... For now it is still a test game for which not everyone has time
I stuck at this moment at 10.2.5.0 because it is my work-phone and I am very busy lately. I need it.
But I tried 9.0 v119 (system-arm32_binder64-ab-gapps-su.img.xz)
I couldnt get it work at that moment, because wifi was not working. I will try soon but was hoping on a android 10-rom.

It was already solved in the Custom GSI FIRMWARE Thread post number #111 by mais14. Basically you use the EU Boot.img. what Boot img are you using?
For about a week I used AOSP system-arm32_binder64-ab-gapps-su.img. It was the only custom rom that I got working with google apps. After a week I gave it up for two reasons: (1) my device failed the safetynet check and I was not able to install some apps that I wanted; (2) several apps (including e.g. open camera) did not work together with my SD card.
Now I am back on stock rom (miui 10.2.5) with bloatware removed by XiaomiADBFastbootTools (and more bloatware removed by hand using 'adb uninstall' command). It seems to work for me - my main motivation for custom rom was not to struggle with bloatware.

Did you register your device with Google? Because using a custom rom with Google apps is not enough since now u have to use your device's ID and register it with google. Maybe that is why some apps didnt work in your phone. I use MicroG and even I had to register the device before i could use the push notification services used by many apps that depend on Goole play services.
MDV106 said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, I did. Before registration I got a popup every couple of seconds, saying that I have to register. The phone was not at all usable.
I believe the safetynet problem is connected with the fact that this version of AOSP is rooted. I tried to unroot it with unSU script, but it did not quite work for me. And with safetynet failed some applications (netflix, revolut etc) are not available (these applications are not compatible with the device).
The sd-card problem must be caused by some misconfiguration of permissions. Some applications (open camera, locus maps etc) can only read, but not write the sd-card.
I spent something like three weeks trying different roms and configuring the device. I do not want to invest more time in it. On stock version it just works out of the box, even if I do not like miui.

I tried to check it today. It seems that it removes the app completely from the device. For example, I removed the amazon shop app, and I observed that some disk space on my data partition was freed, and I could not reinstall it with 'adb shell cmd package install-existing' command. Unfortunately, in many cases the 'adb uninstall' command simply did not work (it ended with a delete fail internal error - perhaps the reason is that I my device is not rooted and I do not have enough permissions to remove these apps). But in these cases the 'adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0' command still works (see the other thread on debloating for details). As I understand it, the letter command does not really remove the app (and the app still occupies the disk space), but the app no longer runs, so it consumes neither ram memory nor battery. For me it is enough.

Remove bloatware apps on realme xt [no root]

Hi guys, most of the Realme users aren't a fan of the color OS since its heavy, looks immature, and filled with bloatware. However there is a way to remove all the bloatware in Color OS. NO ROOT IS REQUIRED AND ITS NOOB FRIENDLY.
Code:
* DO NOT REMOVE ANY IMPORTANT SYSTEM APP, I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF SOMETHING UNEXPECTED HAPPENS WITH YOUR DEVICE ;_;
REQUIREMENTS:
1. A PC/laptop with drivers and minimal ADB installed.
2. Realme XT, and a type-C USB cable to connect the device to the computer/laptop.
3. Package viewer app that can be installed from Playstore. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.csdroid.pkg&hl=en_US
PROCEDURE:
Firstly, go to settings, click on 'About Phone' and continuously tap the Version until it says that 'now your'e a developer'. Then go to additional settings, developer options, enable it and turn on the "USB DEBUGGING" option under developer options.
1. Now connect your phone to PC/laptop using the data cable, and choose transfer files option from the popup on your phone.
2. Now migrate to the folder where minimal ADB is installed, and hold shift key and right click on mouse button, and click on 'Open Powershell window here'.
3. Now type 'adb devices' on the powershell window, and allow access from from device. A serial code must be shown on your screen.
4. Now type 'adb shell' and press enter. Now a new line should come starting with "RMX1921:/ $" , means we are good to go.
5. Now you have to enter commands to remove apps. The command is 'pm uninstall -k --user 0 package name' then press enter. In the place of package name, you have to type the name of the package which needs to be installed. Now open the package viewer app and look for the package name of the app which needs to be removed. You can remove the built-in bowser, calculator, compass, app market, music, roaming, video, weather, etc.
For example, if you need to remove browser, the command which you have to type is, 'pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.nearme.browser' then press enter. You'll see a message saying success. Bullseye! Happy bloatware removing!!
6. If you wanna install any app again, in adb shell, type "cmd package install-existing <package name>" and the particular app will be reinstalled.
COMMANDS USED:(Type these after typing "adb shell")
*For removing an app,
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name>
*For installing it back,
Code:
cmd package install-existing <package name>
If you have any doubts, feel free to comment. I'll be happy to help you.
Thank you. Cheers.

There won't be any issues, coz the system update won't cause any changes to the apps.

You can remove the apps which are provided by realme, like their browser, app market, compass, roaming, weather etc. Don't remove any system apps. (Google related and framework related apps).
This is a really good info. Thanks a ton for this procedure of bloatware removal. I was really searching for root to remove these bloatwares. But without root this is awesome.
Tell me one thing, by same procedure can we install any app as system app?

For installing an app as a system app, you need root access.

Can you please elaborate on this further?
These are the apps I'm planning to get rid of, but due to the lack of adequate information I'm reluctant to actually uninstall them, anticipating whether the action may cause system wide instability.
Clone Phone
Game Center (however, I could NOT find any package name for this one on App Inspaector)
File Manager (I want to replace it with Solid Explorer Pro)
Messages (I want to make Microsoft SMS Organiser as one and only messaging app; hence, this one is important)
Photos (want to replace it by Google Photos)
I tried deleting all of them once - which resulted me unable to select ringtone/notification/alarmtone of my choice - forcing me to factory reset the phone.
Yes, I know I can assign default apps through the app manager setting - but what is the point of keeping two messaging apps (or for that matter, two gallery apps)?
I need to have these information about the cross-dependencies of these apps with the system wide instability issues. Thanks in advance.
could you share the list of maximum number of bloatware, those can be removed safely without tampering os?

Can you please elaborate on this further?
These are the apps I'm planning to get rid of, but due to the lack of adequate information I'm reluctant to actually uninstall them, anticipating whether the action may cause system wide instability.
Clone Phone
Game Center (however, I could NOT find any package name for this one on App Inspaector)
File Manager (I want to replace it with Solid Explorer Pro)

Of these apps, you can remove clone phone. It won't cause any issue. You can't remove game centre (since the package name is unknown). Since file manager is linked with the ringtone selection, don't remove it too. Photos and Messages can be removed.
However i would recommend you to remove clone phone and photos app from your mentioned list of apps, since others are framework related apps.

As i said previously, you can remove the bloatware related to color OS. I can give the list of apps which i have removed, and i have no issues with the OS.
1. App market
2. Browser
3. Calculator
4. Clone phone
5. Keep notes
6. Music
7. Video Player
8. Weather and weather services
9. YouTube.
Do not remove any framework related apps like file manager. I'm not responsible if any unstablity occurs due to the removal of framework apps.

You can perform a factory reset to restore your phone to original state. All the removed bloatware apps will be reinstalled. Or else, you can just use the command to reinstall the particular app. The command is given in the first post.

Question safe to uninstall this?

Hi.
I was wondering if it's safe to uninstall this app / service shown in the screenshot below, through an ADB command. I don't use live wallpapers anyway so I wanted to get rid of it.
Yeah, that should be fine. just as a precaution, set your wallpaper to something that's on the device before freezing/removing.
As a word of warning, uninstalling system apps has the potential to break the system, so only uninstall the apps that you are sure of. Apps like Gmail, Google Play Music, Google Play Movies, etc., are safe to uninstall but never remove Google Play Store or any of the files associated with it

+1!
When I debloat my devices I always have a factory image unzipped ready on my PC. I always make a copy of each APK and screenshot where it's located before I kill it. A few devices I've owned in the past people have removed apps and then made a xda thread once done showing what they did, deleted... It sure helped speed up the process for me and I'm sure others who got the devices months after release. The developer who's develops xXx No Limit magisk rom for OnePlus devices is probably the best at the debloat I've ever seen. He has a script in his magisk xXx no Limit rom zip that you can edit before flashing in magisk and either delete the app, replace the app with another or leave it alone. He has detailed info on every app in the stock rom. Delete whatever you want just backit up first and know how to flash factory image and or manually boot recovery and restore a backup or whatever to get your device back working again if you end up in a boot loop.
