Hi, Thanks for the easy instruction. How is the device working after reinstalling all the mentioned apps?
Stable? better performance? better battery? any error or problem? please let us know the difference?


Never mind, I used Saki_EU's Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools and uninstalled many apps already. No problem, more free RAM now!

E:\desktop\platform-tools-latest-windows>adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.videos # Play Movies
* daemon not running. starting it now at tcp:5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: no devices/emulators found

this goes to all

[Deleted member 8320586]

Do I have to run the commands one by one or together is fine?

you can copy and paste it fromwherever your adb command line is located if your terminal (from the pc) allows pasting.

seems like you dont have your phone device correctly setup. make sure u have BOTH usb debugging enabled AND your computer authenticated to allow your PC to make USB debugging tasks....you can find it on your phone from developer options. youtube or google how to run and install adb

Hi, followed the instructions.
Phone immediately got stuck in boot loop to redmi recovery 3.0 screen. Rebooting repeats process.
There is a "Connect with MiAssistant option", but this application does not recognize the phone. In the forum for the app some people say that the english version will not connect with newer versions of android (as in the redmi note 7)

So I kind of just lost my phone now, rather than improved it.. Not sure what to do now, I did not want to get into unlocking the bootloader and flashing roms as I'm not comfortable with that and really don't trust it to actually work.

Any advice would appreciated, thanks.

i doubt it was any of those packages that have you stuck in a boot loop as they are non system apk's. however if you want to restore your phone back to OEM, just grab the OFFICIAL MI TOOLS from XIAOMI and flash the latest firmware. https://xiaomifirmware.com/roms/miui-roms-for-xiaomi-redmi-note-7-lavender/

Is there any way to remove the four features at the top of your recent apps shade? Cleaner, security scan, deep clean, manage apps.

You can go into Settings, Home screen and recents then untick show suggestions

Each time I run your command, adb says “adb error device null not found”. BTW, I had flashed TWRP and vbmeta image via adb/fastboot without any problem.
