Since i live in Europe i couldn't buy the Mi4i through a well known seller and got it through Aliexpress.
I havn't owned a Xiaomi phone before, but the amount of crapware preinstalled is insane. I was able to disable some of it, but not all.
The phone does some random actions every now and then too, such as when i fully shutdown chrome and start it again it will open an ad in a new tab which is very annoying. It has also downloaded some random files named 1.tmp, 2.tmp, 3.tmp, 4.tmp and 5.tmp which i havn't downloaded at all. Just connected to a new wifi and I saw that these five files started downloading from my notification tray and instantly canceled the download which worked fine. I have not installed any third party apps that are not on google play, and the only apps i have downloaded from google play are Google Music, Soundcloud, Plex, Reddit Sync and Terminal Emulator and all of those are clean.
Does anyone else have the annoying apps DU Speed Booster, DU Battery Booster, DC Share or Monoplay preinstalled on their devices? When i ran MIUI on my nexus 5 a year ago i didn't get those apps preinstalled, and they are pissing me off and i can't remove them. The youtube app is also extremely outdated and it isn't able to update through the play store.
The security app doesn't report that there are any viruses, but i'm not really counting on that.
I have had the phone for 4 days now and rooted 1hr ago, and will try to fix some of these things like removing the preinstalled crapapps, and if it messes up the phone i'll just do a factory reset.
Have anyone else had these problems? I love the hardware of the Mi4i and I'm still getting used to MIUI, but all this crapware and strange behaviour annoys me alot.
