How To Guide How to debloat Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G ♻️

[el.tsupaka]

In this guide we will see step by step how to debloat the RN 11 Pro 5G​

First of all we have to enable: Developer Options
Settings->About tablet->Software information->(tap 7 times)Build number

After that we will enable: OEM Unlocking & USB Debbuging
Settings->Developer Options->OEM Unlocking(ON) & USB Debbuging(ON)

On the next step we need to download & install : ADB & Fastboot tools
Once you install the tools, connect your {Phone} - {PC}
Select: USB Debbuging & Open your: Terminal


We are almost there

Now i will make a short explanation in order to understand what are we doing exactly & how we will do it.

What is ADB?
ADB provides us with commands that can be used to debug Android devices,
installing or uninstalling apps and getting information about a connected device.

adb shell

This command activates the remote shell command console on the connected Android smartphone or tablet.

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0

Using this, you can easily uninstall the unwanted system apps. To be able to execute it, you must issue 'adb shell' command first.
You can then use 'pm uninstall -k --user 0' followed by the Android app package name as shown below.

pm uninstall -k --user 0 name.of.the.app.apk

This command can help you if you want to remove all the bloatware from your phone.
Please note that most system apps don't have the 'Uninstall' option on the device but this command works magically.

Now all you need to do is find the app that you want to remove
Tap & Hold -> App info
Click -> Top left (info icon)
& Get the APK Name:

For example, we want to remove Mi Radio.

{Phone} - {PC} We check for any Usb Debug auth messages
We open the Terminal/CMD & we type:
adb devices (to check that we have a connection)
adb shell (to form a connection with the phone)
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.fm
the radio has been removed.

Thanks for your time ❤​

I'm on Veux MIUI Global 13.0.2 A12 Stable (SKCMIXM)

I have debloated these application:
Google apps:
- Youtube (youtube Vance is used instead),
- Youtube Music
- Google pay,
- Duo,
- Google TV&Movies
- Google One
- Talkback

Mi apps:
- MSA (Mi system Advertiser) - reduce advertising ads
- MiServices (Services & Feedback)
- BugReport
- MiPay
- MiSimActivateService
- MiFileManager (MiXplorer replacement)
- joyose
- Micredits
- Feedback&service
- Analytical
- Downloads
- Yellowpage
- Mipayment
- mirecycle
- ...
- Facebook services:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.appmanager
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.services
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.system

Notice that, the above method is only to uninstall the app from the system BUT the app *.apk is still there in the /system partition (fully debloat must have ROOTED access), You still can recovery re-install app ( in case of accident uninstalled ) by

pm list packages -f -u | grep <package name>

You will get the result in this format:

package:<full path to the apk>=<package name>

Example:

package:/system/product/app/Youtube/Youtube.apk=com.google.android.youtube

Then,

pm install -r --user 0 /system/product/app/Youtube/Youtube.apk

In MIUI13, Xiaomi has divide system partition into
- /system/app and /priv-app
- /system-ext/app and /priv-app
- /system/product/app and /priv-app (all google apps are located here)

SO, in the Settings -Apps -Manage apps; there will be triple/ pentadruple of several apps that we do not know what are for & safety for debloat !? such as kai.apk, cit.apk, Filled.apk, Rounded.apk, Sam.apk,...[/code]

• My friend first of all im sorry for your problem, i havent encounter something like this before so i do not have a straight answer!
  But lets discuss what you can do:
  

  • Make sure that you enable the Media transfer protocol, the option to transfer file between [ PC - Android ]
  • Try to re-install the android drivers
  • Try to plug your phone in a different PC

  • Try to restore your phone in a clean state
  • If none of the above works then you can try to re-install the official ROM in your device

I've tried both methods and none of then works for me, because my laptop can't find the device. Am I doing something wrong? Is root necessary? or have I unlock bootloeader previously?

You have to install all abd drivers, it seems that it's missing driver for pc recognize your device.
And you have to activate USB debugging in developer mode.
No root, no unlocked boot required

Well said bro, but i think that the problem isnt in PC side the adb drivers are there since he was able to debloat the device and after removing a package the phone's operating system is unable to triger the events when you plug it in, so what i recommend is a clean install of the stock rom.

anyone else succeeded in this? I wish to remove youtube and other crapware. If i do, am i allowed to make VANCED the default for opening youtube links?

Is it possible to flash Xiaomi official roms too?

 

[apollo_81]

Works with Redmi Note 11 Pro+ . MEDIATEK processor? A thousand thanks

 

[CoopZor]

Thanx guys, does this still works?

In my experience, stock rom is faster and smoother then a custom rom.

I just bought this phone, I'm on android 12 (stock)
Does this still works?

If during the update the apps that you had removed got enabled again then yes.
