GetApps - app store like Google Play from Xiaomi. Settings -> Home Screen crashes Settings app. Result: if you are logged in with Mi account, device becomes locked, to unlock you should bring it to Xiaomi Services Center. Result: phone reboots only in recovery mode Result: endless boot loop, some time after it will ask to erase the phone and start over. Here is a list of Xiaomi and Google apps that I find unnecessary: You may just use your Google account to sign into it and then sign-out when you don’t need it anymore: On Xiaomi phone to enable this setting you need to sign in into Mi Account.
⚙️ Settings - About phone(or My Device).If you are using chocolatey package manager, you can get both like that:Ĭhoco install -y adb universal-adb-drivers
If you are on Windows, you also need USB drivers for your device. You can download the recent one for your OS here. To manage phone from command-line via USB you need adb - Android Debug Bridge, part of Android platform-tools. NOTE: I do not guarantee that this instructions won’t break your phone, blow it to flaming pieces or cause a sentient machines rebellion against humanity.
Thanks to this very useful but severely under-voted stackoverflow answer. Works for MIUI 11 and 12 (based on Android 9 and 10), should work for other phones for recent Android versions.
Here is how to remove or disable unnecessary software without rooting phone. You can not uninstall this pre-installed apps like usual ones, and you can not even disable them from settings like in earlier Android versions. It eats battery and memory, sometimes shows annoying advertisement, and may have security issues. UPDATE Added some apps, thanks to Updated list of apps, thanks to new comments by phones have impressive parameters for given price, but they come with a lot of unnecessary software. TLDR: If you just want the list of bloatware app package names for Xiaomi MIUI - scroll to the end of the artice.
