im sure you "could" uninstall it, but i would be afraid of some crashing in the g+ app because they are linked together.
try freezing it first to see what happens, then if you have a problem it is easy to put back.

No, first opening the terminal, enter only su
Then terminal emulator is granted root access, thEn type the rest of the command.
**your device needs to bee ROOTED in first place**

then i go to apps
clicked on photos and photos worked....

Okay, install Rom Toolbox Pro, then open the app, grant root access, open app manager in it, locate Google+, click on it, swipe to left and select advance freeze, and freeze the activities with the Google+ photos icon in it. Done!!

Baked-in spotify must go...

Hi guys.
I just got the Nougat update, on Bell Canada. Everything is great except it rolled out a built-in Spotify. This eradicated my existing old-version Spotify app. Worse, I can't remove it, only disable. Old versions won't install over it either.
I don't have root and probably won't for a while.
Any way to remove the offending app? Workaround?
Thanks!

No way, without ROOT.

Try with adb.
With this commads :
adb shell
cd system/app
ls
ls will list all apps in system partrition and delete app you want by typing: rm nameofapp.apk

You have to give root privileges for adb, so no hope..

Don't root dude, I can give you my version, it's clone manifest it works perfectly, just install it and it's all as before..

It was maked by App Cloner : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.applisto.appcloner
I think it is not safe for daily use with your bank apps.

Nope, it was made and cloned in lucky patcher, the most safest way possible, unless you do the app on your own. Just install it, log in and listen to music, and also you can disable the other app.
The next thing I'm willing to try is to set time of this app to stay at one point, this way, those 7 days of free trial can last for eternity, but don't think I'll make it any time soon.

Hi, thanks for your apk file that actually works on the z5 on nougat by being installed next to the original application that can be disabled. Can you tell us how you created this clone without having a package conflict? I imagine you took the version available on AlphaGamers but how to do after? Thank you in advance !

This is mail I sent to some French guy(sorry for late reply guys).
So here's how you do it:

@AMJ19
You can't share patched or cracked Spotify apk. It was forbidden and it is against the XDA rules.

Already did it..warez am I right?

Hello guys, with the cloned version of the app (assuming the one included in nougat is disabled) is the link from soundhound (when you detect a song and have an option to open it in spotify) working properly or instead is taking you to Spotify's website (meaning it's not detecting the cloned version) ?

Just clone your old version Spotify APK with App Cloner then install it. The apk signature of the clone will be changed so you are able to install it

Thanks this worked perfectly. Disabled factory installed spotify and cloned the modded version and installed. Worked great.

I feel like I'm coming too late but here goes:-
Step 1 :
Code:
adb device
Step 2:
Code:
adb shell
Step 3: pm list packages | grep <OEM/Carrier/App Name> command (without quotes) to find package names
e.g
Code:
pm list packages | grep [COLOR="Red"]google[/COLOR]
Step 4: Once you find the desired bloat app to remove type:- pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of package>
e.g
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 [COLOR="Red"]com.quora.android[/COLOR]
If it helped don't forget to smash that like button and subscribe for more vi... Wait, wrong outro!

^i assume you need root access to do that?

app cloner will create a new apk? i need to side load it via adb to set the install vendor for android auto. does the change of the apk signature via app cloner affect android auto recognising the cloned app as well?

Ai button remapping?

Is it possible to change what the Ai button does? saw it mentioned in someones video before

As of right now no.

Currently only root users can do it by replacing keylayout
https://github.com/TadiT7/xiaomi_pe.../system/system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl#L32

I've been looking for an answer to this.. I downloaded a couple of button remappers but there is no option to change this as far as I know... Someone please prove me wrong. This thing would be awesome with Ok Google launching instead of that Xiaoai...

(Solved) I was able to remap the AI button by doing the following steps.
Prerequisite: Mi Mix 3 must be rooted!
1. Replace "AI" with "GOOGLE_ASSISTANT" in gpio-keys.kl#L32 (this is merely a place holder for the key, it may work by just removing "AI") using root-browser to navigate to the /system/usr/keylayout/ directory.
2. Uninstall MI AI through ADB shell "pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.voiceassist".
3. Use BUTTON REMAPPER
Enable Service
Press "+" to assign new key
Press the AI button
Check longpress "0.25 sec"
Action-Other...
Choose "Voice Search" (or any other app you want to the AI button to open)
4. Ensure the apps "Google" "Assistant" and "Button Mapper" can auto-start, modify system settings, and ignore battery optimizations.
5. Enjoy (at your own risk, it works for me)

replace it with what?

Maybe CAMERA or something, then you should be able to remap even other functions with this app.

Currently I'm on GSI and can't test right now, though.

No worries, i figured it out. I edited my original question with the solution (see above).

Disabling the Mi AI gives options in English including the Google assistant. I assume this is what the global rom will have. However none of the options work right now.

I really don't wanna root my phone for this.. Guess we'll have to wait until the Global rom can be flashed to our Chinese devices.. Good find guys!

Nope that didn't work. ?. I will figure it out.

I couldn't get it to work with that app so I used Tasker and AutoInput. It registers as key code 0 but works fine.
I use it to change from Normal to silent to do not disturb, very handy.

Just try disabling usage access first. You need root to adb remove it entirely. I don't think there's a need for that, however.

Thanks. I disabled myself from using it.

I do not have the option to disable nor can I force stop.

Hi, same issue here. even deleted digital wellbeing, no extra apps or anything. I am getting 2 hours screen on time. Also phone heats up when using camera. even did factory reset. Overnight it drains 20% on idle. I don't know what to do. Google support asked me to send in the device for check / replacement. Should I do that? Or is there a solution?

That works. I'm not a big fan of tracking my usage so I'll go with it for now. I didn't see any battery drain from having it but now it's gone. And if I wanted to reinstall it then just Play Store version I presume?
edit: So to remove it use the above command and then reboot. To reinstall as a system app, PS and then update the app if asked, then reboot and it's back in settings. I'm going to uninstall it again and run for a while to see if anything changes.

Yeah sure. Later give feedback here buddy. Im thinking of it is only placebo.

I've my feedback. I removed it and yeah it's a placebo.

It is said that it does. I would never use something like that so I'm not sure if enabling usage access will affect battery life. I can't imagine it would be more than a few percentage each day if you want to use it.

After I try any method of removing bloatware using adb debug without root on Android 12 and 13, finally I've got method that worked both Android 12 or 13.
if regular adb disable/uninstall commands do not work, then
For Android 13 try
Code:
adb shell service call package 131 s16 com.abc.xyz i32 0 i32 0
for Android 12 try
Code:
adb shell service call package 134 s16 com.abc.xyz i32 0 i32 0
