[GUIDE] Uninstall Poco x3 NFC Bloatware [List]

[bacitoto]

MIUI comes with a lot of unecessary apps, some are just there for ads, and some are android system apps that you can't uninstall or disable
There will be some slightly different apps between variants I'm on MIUI GLOBAL 12.0.2

I used Xiaomi ADB Fastboot Tools by Szaki, has a nice interface and is super simple to use, here's how:

Method#1 Xiaomi ADB Fastboot Tools​

1. Install java 11: https://adoptopenjdk.net/
2. Download latest XiaomiADBFastbootTools.jar
   phone:
3. Enable Developer Options: Settings->About Phone->Click MIUI version untill it notifies you enabled dev options
4. Enable usb debugging: Settings->Aditional Settings->Developer Options
5. Connect phone to PC and select PTP mode, not FTP
6. Now you can select all the apps you wan't to remove. Use The LIST to know all the apps you can remove that won't cause bootloop. Here's a screenshot of the apps I left on my device, you can safely remove all the others

or you can try similar tools:

[

You just need to add method # 3 - ADB AppControl

With this handy program, you forget about the command line and can disable applications through a useful graphical interface. I recommend everyone to try this tool if you want more control over your devices.

Method#2 ADB command line​

1. To be able to execute ADB commands, you must download and set up the latest SDK Platform Tools on your computer.
2. Extract the downloaded ‘platform-tools-latest-windows.zip‘ and open the folder.
3. Launch the Command Prompt via the Windows context menu by pressing the Shift key + Right-click button on the mouse.
4. Now type the following command in the cmd window and Allow USB debugging to authorize ADB when prompted.
5. adb devices
6. allow usb debugging on xiaomi - If you see the ‘list of attached devices’ message, it means your Xiaomi or Redmi phone is successfully connected.
7. Now, execute the command

   adb shell

8. When you get your phone’s codename on the cmd screen, run the command mentioned. Don’t forget to replace <package name> with the package name of the system app you want to uninstall just check The List

   pm uninstall --user 0 <package name>

can you reinstall miui phone and messages app, and uninstall google ones?

 

[bacitoto]

Can you reinstall miui phone and messages app, and uninstall google ones?

I haven't tried that, you'll have to try yourself. This tool allows you to re-install apps you removed.

Make sure you have everything ready to flash stock ROM in case you enter bootloop

 

[boyarenola]

what are the apps that are safe to uninstall?

 

[bacitoto]

what are the apps that are safe to uninstall?

End of first post it's all the apps I didn't remove.

When I get home I'll compile an almost full list of apps safe to remove, and what purpose they serve

+ All google app

Yes you can

 

[bacitoto]

bump
This took more time than I tought manually verified all the apps in the list myself, so those are safe to remove, unless some escaped my eyes. It's from a safelist anyway.
You should be able to remove all google apps to, every other app from the needs testing list is also from a safe to remove thread, but needs confirmation on poco x3

Don't uninstall random stuff from the complete system packages unless you know what you're doing

Happy uninstalls evevryone :fingers-crossed:

 

[dxspeedy]

Sir after I debloat all that i dont need. Can i still update my POCO X3 NFC?

 

[bellabax]

Sir after I debloat all that i dont need. Can i still update my POCO X3 NFC?

I have the same doubt: are OTA update still working after dobloating?
Thanks

 

[LUNARIO]

ONLY if rooted Ota is not possible ou thing this do is using a gui to uninstall by adb

 

[bacitoto]

Sir after I debloat all that i dont need. Can i still update my POCO X3 NFC?

You can still update system apps if you don't remove com.xiaomi.discover | Xiaomi System apps updater
And yes if you only uninstall what I did you can sitll get OTA updates

 

[dxspeedy]

You can still update system apps if you don't remove com.xiaomi.discover | Xiaomi System apps updater
And yes if you only uninstall what I did you can sitll get OTA updates

After you removing those files sir. What is now the performance of your battery? And the memory?

 

[nieXas]

how on earth google maps or facebook is bloatware? why do you need a smartphone at all?

 

[bacitoto]

how on earth google maps or facebook is bloatware? why do you need a smartphone at all?

It isn't but it should be allowed to be uninstalled. I use waze not maps per example. You can install them via PlayStore just fine after so it isn't system app
To each their own

 

[dxspeedy]

You can still update system apps if you don't remove com.xiaomi.discover | Xiaomi System apps updater

Is your battery will last longer after removing system files?

 

[bacitoto]

Is your battery will last longer after removing system files?

Sry I missed your post. I'm not sure if it did. Doesn't make enough difference to matter.
Although theoretically should improve battery life

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the guide, but I don't understand:

On the screenshot in the methode #1, we can see Google Calculator or Google Keep for exemple, and I don't believe they are installed originally, I'm wrong?

They aren't installed originally, I installed them via PlayStore. The ADB Tools application detects it anyway just like other google apps

 

[nazri5363]

For me Facebook is bloatware apps... I don't need it to push notifications all the time as I can browse using browser only...

@bacitoto

Nice to see a fellow Portuguese contributing to the POCO X3 scene.

My dev days ended a couple of years ago, but I'm still very much into the scene.

Drop me a DM if you want and we can exchange notes or something.
I got the X3 as well.

Best regards,
Bruno.
