[ADB] Mi Note 10 Debloat (no root) Global and EU

picitup · Dec 7, 2019

Hi All

This is the first version of a debloat for the Mi Note 10. I'm not an expert at this, so I've been very cautious (I hope).

Remember: You use this at your own risk. Please read through the batch file to make sure you understand each package and are sure you don't want it.

If you delete something by mistake, you may be able to re-install it from Google Play. If not, you may need to do a factory reset so BACKUP FIRST.

If you don't backup and have to factory reset, please let me know so I can laugh at you

With all the disclaimers out the way, you need to:

1) Enable Developer Options (Settings/About Phone/Keep tapping MIUI Version)
2) Turn on USB Debugging (Settings/Additional Settings/Developer Options/USB Debugging)
3) Make sure ADB is installed on your pc
4) Plug in your phone and it will say "Charging via USB" change this to File Transfer. The first time you do this, you will be asked to authorise USB debugging. Agree this otherwise the batch file won't work and you get an "Unauthorised" message when it tries to uninstall.
5) Read the entire contents of the batch file and make sure it's OK for you to delete all the listed packages
6) Run the batch file

The batch file is attached as a txt file as .bat is not allowed, so just rename it. I've tested the file on my phone and all looks fine so far.

If anyone with more experience than me wants to add to this, please let me know and I'll update the batch file for everyone else.

Cheers

Steve

edit: Changed the name of original file to Global and added an EU debloater

Another slightly nerdy method

(1) Install SDK tools by google. Google it.

(2) On finishing be SURE to check the box and install Android SDK tools, Android SDK build - tools and Android SDK platform tools. Dont forget.

(3) Install the universal ADB drivers (Google it to find...i am not allowed to post links here)

(4) Install phone drivers drivers if needed although I havnt needed them for mi note 10 phone curiously enough

(5) Install app inspector on the android phone (Google play store it)

(6) Enable USB debugging on the android phone after enabling developer options on the phone.

(7) Allow USB debugging when phone is plugged in

(8) Open CMD by typing cmd in search in your windows computer

(9) Type "cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools" (Or just copy this without the quotes)

(10) Type "adb devices"...You should see a string of random numbers and letters followed by "device." This indicates you can send commands. If you don't see this, try checking your USB cable to ensure it is fully plugged in.

(11) Type "adb shell"

(12) Type "pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.app.name.here" to uninstall the apps, also disable in apps menu later for extra safety. To find out the name of the app - return to Your phone and open App Inspector. Select an app from the list that you wish to remove. Under "Package name," you will find the package name of the app, which you will need. These all are safe to remove. If any app says Not Installed For User 0, It simply means that specific app is not installed in your phone. Simply ignore it.

XIAOMI Mi Note 10 only debloat - simply copy and paste these in the command prompt and press enter. All the below apps will get disabled. Can be enabled from app settings if needed.

Hi @michealbluth thanks for the extra instructions and alternative method.

I've edited the 1st post and renamed the original file to Global as this is the rom it applies to. I've just installed the EU rom (11.04) and had added an extra debloat with an EU suffix. I didn't compare the two, so there may be some duplication.

I've run both of these on my phone and seen no ill effects.

How much does the list differ between global rom and china rom? Can i use the list of k20 pro for example for cc9 pro china rom?

Has anyone with cc9 pro debloated their devices? Please share the debloat list for china rom. Thanks.

Do you think it's safe if i follow the redmi k20 debloat list? As they both are china version of miui11

Alright, thank you for the reply . Do you mind if i ask something else? It's not so related to debloating, if you don't mind.

I'm pretty new to xiaomi, but if i recall xiaomi has default recovery like twrp right? Does that mean if i brick my phone i can always use the stock recovery? Because i will try to debloat some apps, but I'm scared that i would brick my new phone.

I'm not so experienced in tweaking androids, i only knew twrp and custom rom recently from flashing a custom rom on my Samsung note 5.

Thank you in advance!

MoneyFist · Jan 12, 2020 at 11:23 AM

Hey guys, I'd really love to do this but does anyone know if it causes any issues with updates, banking apps and Google pay?

I remember doing this on a Galaxy S8 and I recall it complaining about modified system

I got an error saying "as launcher apps from third parties may result in problems like data leak, etc etc". I cannot set nova launcher as my default launcher..

Also, i read in other thread that i can force close "Security app". But it keeps reopening. How can i remove / disable this security app without unlocking my phone?

Bash script for de-installing apps

For those on linux, I've put the de-install commands into a bash script and make it loop over an array of apks.. So you can just list the apks you don't want, and then the script will figure out if it's installed as user or system app and delete it. No harm if the app is not installed, as it will just inform about it.

My list gets rid of practically everything in Global, including almost all goggle apps, so please adjust to your needs!

Code:

#!/bin/bash
# list any packages you want to deinstall
apk=(

Seriously why do you sill use Xiaomi.. They started with this way back in 2011?? Last seen for me 2014.
Same exact **** the same packages, nothing has changed how is it possile that they are still allowed by Google to use Android for their spying purposes and how did they become compliant again from being banned?? Money..

com.miui.compass
com.miui.calculator
com.miui.cleanmaster
com.miui.cloudservice

And so forth..

Hello friends!

I recommend trying my new program for managing applications on android - ADB AppControl.
With it you will forget about the command line. Disable and remove bloatware with an easy-to-use graphical interface. Save disabled apps to a preset and share with others users. Download and install applications. As well as many other cool features, including a convenient console.

I created a preset for ADB AppControl from the list of apps in this thread and you can apply it easily.
You can choose which applications to disable when you load it into the program. If you disable something wrong, you can easily enable it again.

Download ADB AppControl

I just did this on my xiaomi.eu ROM, and it ran into a bootloop when I restarted my phone. Had to do a factory reset to make it usable again. Would recommend to do a full backup or uninstall the packages one-by-one, restarting the phone between each install.

MaStErB_1984 · Sep 9, 2020 at 12:55 PM

me also got into bootloops using the europe miui 12...on friday I am able to unlock my mi note 10 pro...hope to get a good list which i am about to debloat...
