Packages which are safe to remove and a few problems.

[Dakura]

Tried deleting "com.miui.home", doesn't break anything but you can't customize the recents screen after you do that.

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.micloud.sdk

Uninstalling this breaks miui gallery in miui 12
It won't open

 

[sreejithag96]

Hello. I've removed some apps from the safe list only, but I got Gallery app crashing now. Do you guys have some thoughts about how to solve this issue without having to reinstall the entire ROM?

Reinstall micloud sdk it's a dependency for gallery app and recorder app too
package name: com.xiaomi.micloud.sdk
reinstall using this way

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.xiaomi.micloud.sdk

note: very late reply may help someone

How to reinstall

My device is the Mi 9 Lite, purchased from eBay Germany and I have Global Miui 11.

Going to make this a list of packages which can be removed and/or what they do as much as I can.
If you try any of this keep in mind this is a WIP and I say be cautios. The worst that can happen upon removing EVERY single mi-related package is,
your phone hangs up, you have to boot into recovery and factory reset. Meaning you should back up your data beforehand but that's literally all.
I did that several times in a row but I was able to narrow down apps you don't particularly need unless you use them.

You have to connect via adb shell and I'm not going into that because there is plenty of guides out there.
There was an incredibly useful article on Fossbytes, just look it up.

These packages that can be removed safely, the phone will boot just fine and I notice not a single issue.
Keep in mind that if there's apps that you use you obviously don't wanna mess with those:

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.browser # the default Browser
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.calendar #Mi Default Calendar
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.soundrecorder #This is the Recorder app.
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.appmanager # Facebook
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.katana # Facebook
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.services # Facebook
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.system # Facebook
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mi.android.globalFileexplorer # the default Mi Explorer
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mi.android.globalminusscreen # this is the mi screen to the left e. g. App Vault in settings. Now enabling App Vault does nothing. Bless :good:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.audiomonitor # removed no issues
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.bugreport #I still get report windows when settings crashes.
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.calculator # Mi Calculator
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.cleanmaster # the cleaner that removes apks in my private folder. Rip
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.compass #Mi Compass app

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.midrop # Mi Drop

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mipay.wallet.id
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mipay.wallet.in
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.backup
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.micloudsync
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.translation.kingsoft
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.translation.xmcloud
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.translation.youdao
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.tencent.soter.soterserver
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.bluetooth
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.bluetooth.overlay
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.bttester
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.yellowpage
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.account
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.miservice # Mi Service App!!
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.mi_connect_service
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.micloud.sdk
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.mipicks
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.miplay_client
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.milink.service
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.duokan.phone.remotecontroller #Mi Remote
pm uninstall -k --user 0 cn.wps.xiaomi.abroad.lite #Mi Doc Viewer
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.android.fashiongallery #Fashion Gallery Caroussel??
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.hybrid #Mi Quick Apps
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.userguide #Mi Manual
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.glgm #Mi Game Center
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.xmsf #Mi Cloud Framework
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.micredit.in # Mi Credit

The following packages should not be removed or at least they broke something:

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.providers.calendar # not safe to remove, messes up the clock and can't use either calendar nor download from playstore anymore
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.finddevice #issue: pop-up bubble "FindDevice has been destroyed" According to Google breaks boot and have to factory reset
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.notification #warning: this will break notification settings and make them inaccessible
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.miwallpaper # Mi Wallpapers. Update: Not neccessarily broken but it removes the default app for Wallpaper selection and makes setting a new wallpaper obnoxiously complicated. First you have to use a different app like Google but then it's not guaranteed that you can change your lock screen wall.

Upon removing one of the following packages my phone stopped booting and I had to factory reset:

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.securityadd # Security Center
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.securitycenter # Security Center
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.securitycore # Security Center

And here's the packages which are still open for experimentation, the list is very small now and if somebody wants to give it a spin I would very much appreciate it:

pm uninstall -k --user 0 android.autoinstalls.config.Xiaomi.pyxis
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lbe.security.miui #Auth Manager
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mi.globallayout
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mi.webkit.core #Mi Webkit/Webview
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.analytics
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.aod #Always On-mode
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.audioeffect

Hi,

thank you very much. I accidently softbricked my phone while doing this, repaired it, but I am fed up with reinstalling.

1. What would be the best way to create a backup of this system, to be able to reinstall it?
2. What would be the best way to check if everything is still working? Is there a test tool?
3. Would it be possible to reinstall a system app, if something isn't working from TWRP or Fastboot?
4. Is this still working with MIUI12?

____________ worked fine with MIUI 12 german / european / global version (system restart went smooth ____________
(Mi Quick Apps) pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.hybrid
(Cloud Service) pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.cloudservice
(xiaomi framework) pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.xmsf
(MSA) pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.msa.global
(Analytics) pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.analytics

____________ worked fine with MIUI 12 but there can be problems in using the User Interface
(Themen) pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.thememanager

DO NOT TRY! IF YOU FIND ALTERNATIVE, PLEASE INFORM ME

____________ breaks boot !!! factory reset necessary ____________
Following Apps are trying to connect at least every 30 seconds to the outside, I would like to stop that, but If I uninstall that app, the system will break. Is there a way to deativate the internet access action of a certain app?
(Gerätesuche) pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.finddevice

____________ adb: doesn't work, Failure (-1000)
(Hintergrundbild Karussel) pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.android.fashiongallery

It seems to be possible to disable those apps with Greenify from accessing the web: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...apps-background-network-t4162963#post83504019
but it doesn't seem to work after restart.

what kind of system do you use, and what did you do?
- MIUI?
- Android?
- Root?
- did u disable / deinstall specific system apps?
