How To Guide Redmi Note 10 Pro debloat (my experience)

[Mike2030]

Totally agree with that and posted as such.

Buying the Note 10 Pro and debloating it was my first foray into modding devices. I've since been playing around with my wife's old Nexus 7 that has been in a drawer for years and I've rooted it and installed a custom ROM. That is just for fun and learning experience as it is just an entertainment device with nothing about me on it (throwaway email logins, no messaging, mail or anything financial on it). My phone is my primary device with all those things on it and therefore I want it to be as secure as possible.

Edit: plus everything works. There are three deal breakers for me. NFC as I need mobile ticketing to watch Manchester City, banking app and 108mp camera option (no custom ROM has this).

True.

I had a Galaxy Tab A SM-T290 tablet and Samsung turned that into a nightmare with ridiculous amounts of bloat and more and more security 'features' to stop you doing anything about it. I sold it when I got my phone and I'll never buy Samsung again. Take away the ads (easy enough) and bloat and Xiaomi is far better.

I have 2 Rn9 Pro + 2 yrs old running MIUI 12.5.7 stable, with none issues. SOT +10 hrs.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but can I remove the google dialer and sms app if I replace them with a 3rd party dialer, contacts and messaging app ? I'm on stock miui global 12.5.6.

why does my battery drain fast after uninstalling some of the bloat apps

You could've accidentally uninstalled an important app. In my case before, I uninstalled wireless alert before and it caused insane battery drain because it kept on spamming errors in the logs. Try bringing back some important installed apps that relates to SMS, messages, or NFC and check if the battery drain persists.

how to bring back or see which apps I uninstalled it.

Depends on how/what you used for the debloat. If you used the universal android debloater, even the old mi debloater, there should be a drop down menu in UAD, or a tab in the latter where you can see the list of uninstalled apps, and a separate page for disabled apps. You can just click to reinstall or re-enable them from there.

Factory reset and start again.

I recently debloated my Note 10 Pro using ADB and it was the first time I have used it. I made a note of the package name of each app I deleted and once I had blasted through the obvious ones that were unlikely to cause a problem I then did batches of around five each time. I could then see if deleting any of them created a problem and I could work through reinstalling them. For the last few like Cleaner and MIUI Daemon I did them one at a time.

Such caution is unusual for me but it paid off as I did end up reinstalling a few as they stopped things working as I wanted them to.

great advice and thanks for quick response I'm definitely gonna do that. Only one last question, will the factory reset bring back all the uninstalled packages/services???

Yes.

Did you figure out which packages were causing the battery drain ?

 

[Mike2030]

With Clean master removed, I still see it in Gallery > Albums.

With my videos there, saved on my RN9 Pro's SD in Google photos.

If I run Cleaner > scanning albums > displays optimize storage and they get deleted both from Gallery and VLC for Android (though still in Google photos > Videos). any ideas or fixes.

Have to reconnect to the laptop, copy and paste in Android > Videos folder.....

Thanks.

I removed the stock SMS app and installed QKSMS.
I could receive SMS but could not send any!

True.

1. I can't believe there is no other way to watch Manchester City.
2. Banking apps can be spoofed.
3. There is a gcam that has 108MP but why would you need this many pixels anyway?

The best way to watch Manchester City is in the stadium with a season ticket. Luckily I have one

I've replied to your message and included these lists but for anyone who is interested and can read my terrible writing here are my handwritten lists of what I removed. Note that a few are marked as reinstalled, such as System Launcher.

whats the adb code for bringing back disabled apps?
