[GUIDE] DISABLE Redmi NOTE 7 Bloatware (NO ROOT NEED no need for unlocked bootloader)

[Manuel Rodriguez Collado]

These are quick instructions on how to remove some of the Redmi NOTE 7 and Redmi Note 7 Pro Bloatware. Root is NOT NEEDED and a UNLOCKED bootloader is NOT NEEDED to accomplish this. If there are anymore packages that are safe to remove that need to be added to the list just post a reply on this thread and i will add it to the list

Please keep this strictly REDMI NOTE 7 and REDMI NOTE 7 Pro orientated only.



1) install fastboot and adb on your PC

fastboot download: (https://www.xda-developers.com/google-releases-separate-adb-and-fastboot-binary-downloads/)

fastboot/adb installation/usage instructios: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/



2) once you have adb running and working with your device run the following commands to remove the desired packages.

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.tachyon # Google Duo

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.music # Google Music

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.videos # Play Movies

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.compass # Mi Compass

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.notes # Mi Notes

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.screenrecorder # Mi Screen Recorder

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.duokan.phone.remotecontroller # Mi Remote controller

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.enbbs # Xiaomi MIUI Forum

That only works to stop the applications does not remove them from the system, after a restart they reappear

at the time of the writing it worked to prevent it from running for the specific user. Even after reboot it would not run. Im not sure if this still works with the latest firmware as i have not tried it. Someone else would have to chime in. I will update the orginal post from REMOVE to disable.

just tested it with the newest weekly eu rom, works just fine and apps arent there after reboot. so it uninstalls them i guess

Hi everyone.

I have only successfully launched these commands:

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.tachyon # Google Duo
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.music # Google Music
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.videos # Play Movies
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.browser # Mi Browser
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.bugreport # Feedback
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.notes # Mi Notes
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.player # Mi Music
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.mipicks # Mi Apps
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.chrome # Google Chrome
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.enbbs # Xiaomi MIUI Forum

1- Now I can no longer update the system applications from the menu
settings-> system application updates. Any solution to fix?

2- How can I remove "quick app"? because I don't use the "App Assistant" screen (on the left screen)

Thanks to anyone who answers.

 

[nemo081]

Okay, even if no one answered I wanted to let people know that the problem came back with a bit of cleaning the system and re-installed the last image without having lost any data. Hi everyone

Hi, you can add this to clean your Redmi Note 7:

adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.miui.calculator
adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.android.calendar
adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.miui.bugreport
adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.mi.android.globalFileexplorer
adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.miui.fm
adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.miui.gallery
adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.xiaomi.glgm
adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.mipay.wallet.id
adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.mipay.wallet.in
adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.xiaomi.payment
adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.xiaomi.mirecycle
adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.miui.virtualsim
adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.android.soundrecorder
adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.miui.cleanmaster
adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.miui.securitycenter
adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.miui.securityadd
adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.miui.miwallpaper
adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.miui.weather2
adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.miui.providers.weather
adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.miui.yellowpage
adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.miui.antispam
adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.xiaomi.simactivate.service
adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.miui.msa.global

So you removed all this without getting bootloop? even

adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.miui.securitycenter
adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.miui.securityadd
adb shell pm uninstall –k ––user 0 com.xiaomi.simactivate.service

also, anyone knows command for removing xiaomi services network and is it safe to do so

 

[sttipe]
