[Tested] De-bloat Poco F1

[Lyppded]

Really a bluetooth issue? Can anybody else conform this? If you guys are pro, knows what you are doing then use this method else use Debloat tool also works for non-root user, this tool will remove apps which are safe to be uninstall. Follow here under link if you are interested in Debloat tool

Yes. Bluetooth system app has been removed. It so happened to be at the very bottom of the list, I stopped paying attention halfway through and didn't notice the removal of bluetooth itself. Not sure if he intended to remove bluetooth functionality though, doesn't seem like bloat to me.

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.bluetooth
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.bluetoothmidiservice
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.bluetooth

Anyway, anyone can post the bluetooth system app please? I want to reinstall it back.

It's a shame because this isn't really a debloat. It removes all sorts of things that aren't bloatware. I'd quite like a debloat option that just removes the ads and a few actual bloatware apps, not removing everything from Xiaomi accounts management to system reset

This debloat causes the poco f1 to lock the user upon restart since it takes out important xiaomi apps needed for user identification, would recommend following the other thread related to debloating the poco f1

I can confirm, followed exactly as described, after 10 minutes this device is locked appeared asking me for my mi.com password. Upon entering the password i get couldn't sign in rpc error. Do not follow this guide. Shame on you op for posting something you not even tested. Only solution is to flash bootloader rom through mi flash and lose all data. Not even flashing (save user data option ticked works). Seriously, DO NOT FOLLOW THIS GUIDE.

My sincere apologies. I did not face the issue because I did not sign-in to MIUI account when it prompts after a fresh setup. I clicked on "SKIP" and only signed into Google account.
Hence removing "MIUI account" and "Find devices" did not cause issue on my phone. And, as I wrote, this is tested, but I should have written that I did not use MIUI account for sign-in.

Once again, I apologize the problem I could have caused. I have updated the thread and removed "MIUI account" so that other users do not have the inconvenience.

Most of the things, I believe 99% of the things that are being removed are consistent with other de-bloats that you can personally validate on other threads such as Redmi Note 5 Pro/Redmi Y2 etc.
There are lot of google alternatives of what we have removed. Most of the XIAOMI apps have call-home feature, which is the reason to remove it.

Thanks for the feedback.

2 things I did not remove are, MIUI account and Find device. Rest all the apps have alternatives such as google messages, firefox etc. etc.

google can help you find your device: https://myaccount.google.com/find-your-phone
but i think removing "com.xiaomi.finddevice" may be causing issues nevertheless... but i am not 100% on this

Yesterday I removed some packages and now when I try to install any apk file manually then the package installer opens but finally displays "app not installed". I'm not sure which is the package responsible for this. Any help is appreciated.

 

[22sumit]

Thanks for this. These tested results speeded up the process obviously. You can add whetstone(Xiaomi RAM management - not needed because android can take care), MSA(Xiaomi Ads), MIUI daemon(I donno the exact purpose but didn't cause any bootloop), MIUI security components (Guard provider), WM service, TelemetryJservice(Qualcomm Telemetry), Google Feedback.

Brother, After uninstalling MIUI security components (Guard provider), I'm unable to install any app manually.

Yeah, I mentioned that in MIUI 10 debloat thread.

Try installing google package installer

Any idea why you did that or where you read you can remove this component?

Try installing google package installer
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/package-installer/package-installer-8-1-0-4879956-release/

when you fetch a list of packages, it shows that google package installer is already there.

i cant boot into twrp (just boot not installed twrp) like this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/how-to/xiaomi-poco-f1-root-unlock-bootloader-t3852520

anyone know which bloatware should not be deleted?

 

[LQDForce]

here's my initial config for 9.3.1 beta & 10.2.2 stable .
i only tested this list for bootloops and reboots, core system stability, dependencies of system apps and drain/deepsleep. did not test any further than that. YMMV
9.3.1_import-debloat.txt

Did you type the path of TWRP correctly? A simple trick is to rename the TWRP image file as TWRP and place it in the same folder as your Platform Tools (adb). That way the command 'fastboot boot TWRP.img' (without quotes) will work nicely.
