Tested with Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra (cas) running latest MIUI 12.0.8 China Rom​

I used Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools (available from the developer here), but this can be preformed via adb also.

Turn on USB Debugging
- In cmd type adb devices, and allow adb authorization on device
- If using Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools do not use the uninstall mode, it has caused a bootloop for me, Im not sure what package yet.
- WARNING If rooted and using the adb method do not use the ADB shell in SU mode, since MIUI 11 any app removed via root will cause a bootloop.
- Reboot & Enjoy

So far i have managed to disable all packages below without issue, this list isn't extensive yet I am still testing and will edit the post in time.

Great Work on this.... besides it still resetting the assistant on the phone back to none now that Mi AI is gone... this makes the phone almost perfect without changing the rom to EU Rom... I don't typically keep my phones for a long time so I don't think I'll flash the rom this time.... great work and great alternative!

Can you disable the Mi GetApps app? I wasn't in the list for me and it periodically causes battery drain for me. I guess you won't be able to as it's the build in app store.

I'm just thinking, if you do a backup of the phone and delete all the apps you don't want and then restore it again, would it cause any problems I wonder.

Thanks for the list. I have tried it without problems. Analytics is showing disabled. However, the browser is still keep coming back after a restart. I only checked these two and not sure about the rest of the application.

Can you confirm if it is safe to remove Ai Call Assistant?

Xiaomi Mi Max 3 - Miui v12 disabled packages list (ADB).

!!!!! Backup your sensitive data before trying any of this. Sometimes phone os recovery is only possible by factory reset.

Hi, I have been disabling Miui/Android packages since v10. They keep changing their packages, so I'll post the updated v12 list here.
All these packages get disabled/"uninstalled" succesfully.
It seems like Xiaomi has now made a few "apps" more difficult to "uninstall". You get Failure [-1000] errors, so in that case disable them.
Use this list with care! You will disable a lot of stuff. First read and study before you attempt any of this!

@CynicalSkeptic pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.face broke my face unlock, which I use frequently. Any ideas how could I reinstall it?

There's an apk called MIUIBiometrics which should be the same as com.miui.face. Tried to install it via ADB, to no avail:

pyxis:/ $ pm install com.miui.face.apk
Error: Unable to open file: com.miui.face.apk
Consider using a file under /data/local/tmp/
Error: Can't open file: com.miui.face.apk

Exception occurred while executing:

Also tried normally, which couldn't complete.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks!

My first Google search revealed:
adb shell cmd package install-existing <package_name>
So maybe you could try:
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.miui.face

Google search can be your friend.

are you able to make a list for mi10t pro? only if possible for you. newbie with xiaomi device here
Sorry. I can only make an accurate list of a phone that I own.

I do have a Vivo Y91i list, but that won't help you much :)
