Probably stupid question: but what is the goal with deleting these apps?
its not actually deleting just disabled/frozen
for example we have miui music and google play music, and i just need one app so i want to disable google play music why?
because sometimes its running on background this will eat your ram and battery

Set your language to English UK
or use quickshorcut maker then search for Apps Settings and create shortcut
Change language is the trick. Worked flawless! Thank you.

Anyway to do this with some Xiaomi apps, like Music, Videos, etc? I'm thinking to root to disable them, and to install a 3rd part locator on system partition, because "Locate My Device" don't activate my SIM card.

It is not possible to click in "Tap to go to Application Settings"
Is it because of a specific permission that i diseabled?

This is the most easy way
Turn on developers mode
Turn off MIUI Optimization
And boom youre able to disable xD
I'm going to try this option; the other option in the first post requires you log in your ggogle account and I do not have one - this requirement should be added to 1st post.

[EDIT] Disable is still greyed-out... (root required?)
