So far, I have removed those and globallauncher, gallery with success.

Be carefull, if you delete gallery, MMS can't be play

And for me since i have debloat my mi9, i can't choice a sound for sms notification. There is just vibration and if i go to sound parameter, i have a error message.

I find debloating Chrome makes the device a lot smoother and less battery friendly.

Could you please give some more details about how to debloat Chrome.

Many thanks

Its the same way how you debloat all other apps using ADB method (check OP). There is no extra step involved.

Note that if you delete "theme", you will can't choice alert melody anymore.
I have reinstall theme and all is ok.

Forgive me, I probably wasn't very clear. Do you mean removing Chrome altogether or removing elements of the Chrome app? If you remove Chrome, what browser are you using?

Many thanks.

Yeah I was talking about debloating Chrome app completely. There are many hood alternatives to Chrome. For example, Firefox, Brave or Kiwi browser. Unless you use Chrome sync, you can switch to any of the above browsers (and thank me later).

Anyone who removed poco launcher without any issues?

Hi all,
just 2 q's.
- does it mess with OTA updates?
- What happens when you uninstall some packages? the next update tries to re-install those packages or are they out of the system forever?

 

[katoda_ltd]

I removed most of the services mentioned in this thread and do not have any problems with OTA since then. Removed packages does not appear after OTA update. Probably only update with full ROM file or factory reset could bring them back.

Guys, I debloated my Poco. After a firmware update it's necessary to redo the procedure?

No, unless they add stuff

 

[roursamajor]

Understood and thank you. Can I find somewhere a list with safe removable apps? I found something at the start of this thread, but reading further, I found out that some deleting are controversial.

I already use it. I asked other thing, read carefully.

I did read it carefully.
I mentioned the program because there you can find the listed apps that are safe to remove which is what you were looking for and the program is updated regularly.

What apps are safe to uninstall?

All applications in the list are safe to uninstall. You might lose access to some services but the device will keep working just fine. Some apps, like Gallery, aren’t listed because uninstalling them would soft brick your device.

OK, sorry then.
I already read those threads about safe debloating PocoF1, but, as I said, I found that some apps from those lists are controversial safe to uninstall. I thought there is a good list somwhere.

did you open the link from my post and read about the program on the dev's github? every app listed in the program is safe to remove 100%

 

[roursamajor]

OK, I understood. I had these feeling that every app listed is safe to delete. Ok, safe to delete, but safe to keep the phone working properly? I mean, if I delete one specific app, it's possible to have malfunction of another apps?

 

[katoda_ltd]

Yep, it is possible. Do not remember if ADB Tool lists Xiaomi's SMS application as safe to remove (it can be reinstalled by that tool for sure)? This app is a perfect example of such situation: if you remove it, you will loose a possibility to send SMS messages directly from Xiaomi Contacts app, even if you install other SMS app and make it default.
