AS we know miui is highly customizable and user friendly rom, with powerful optimization ;but downside is it is also comes as a heavily bloated oem,
if you're like me and so much hate these damned sideloaded shady apps
we can easily disable them using this method. damn the defaults.
note: please be careful while disabling system apps while this may interfere with proper functioning of the device
although changes done using this method are not permanent and can be easily reverted back by resetting the device.
* Original credits to Doug Lynch . all credits belong to the corresponding dev and xda.
i just modified it a bit to suit it for MIUI without triggering the functionality of the device.
* This method can be used on any device irrespective of the oem; that's the beauty of android, you just have to be careful not to trigger any system process or app
which is critical in booting up and functioning of the device.
* tested on : Redmi note 5 pro (MIUI 9.5.2) (whyred) , Xiaomi MIA1 (tissot) , MOTO G 2nd gen
Requirements:
1. get your device drivers here https://developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb.html#Drivers
2. adb and fastboot drivers here https://drive.google.com/open?id=1e8ANzZ-mQJP0ESJHYx4ZAbDQDEYTtCdW
(i recommend to install it system wide)
3. respective device with USB debugging enabled on it. for newbies
(go to Settings and tap on About Phone. Find the Build Number and tap on it 7 times
to enable Developer Options.Now enter Developer Options and find USB Debugging. Enable it.)
4. Launch a Command Prompt window by holding Shift and Right-clicking then selecting the “open command prompt here” option.
and enter the following command adb devices
5. If this is your first time running ADB, you will see a prompt on your phone asking you
to authorize a connection with the computer. Grant it.
6. Now if you re-run the adb devices command, the terminal will print the serial number of your device.
If so, then you’re ready to move on.
7. now enter the following command adb shell
8. here's the list of commands through which the respective apps can be disabled.

~ Google Duo (whatsapp has the same video calling functionality)

~ Google play music (paid subscription ; Poweramp and phonograph are better at it)
~ XIaomi payment (WHATT!!)
