[SOLVED] Remove bloatware (no root) pinyin (Failure [not installed for 0)

I am still with locked bootloader and unrooted for now. Anytime in the future I will probably switch to a custom ROM, but for now I want to 'experience the miui'. I am however removing some bloatware. I was able to do it via the pm uninstall command via adb shell. I removed all (system)apps I wanted to remove but for some reason I could not remove:
com.google.inputmethod.pinyin
It gives me this result:
whyred:/ $ pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.inputmethod.pinyin
Failure [not installed for 0]
I disabled MIUI optimization in Develop options and rebooted, but this did not help..
Does anyone know why I cannot uninstall this keyboard?
EDIT: Never mind, it was not a system app I guess. Just uninstalled it via the phone.. LOL :silly:

I'm in a same positionnement as you, I'd be interested if you knowing information to debloat the phones.
thx

Debloating Samsung Secure Folder

Is it possible to uninstall system apps via adb from Samsung secure folder?? I tried pm uninstall -k --user 150 com.android.chrome
It does not works. 150 is secure folder user.

Unistall or block Chrome... tastes like spyware.
Karma Firewall can be used to block internet access as well.
Secure Folder is tied to Knox, be careful with it.

I disabled internet access of %90 apps in secure folder. Disabled if not greyed out. But is there a way to uninstall apps in secure folder via adb?

Freeze and hide aps. Not sure, but they may require root. It can also be done using Magisk.

It is not for system apps. It is for apps which have uninstall button.

Factory reset.
I avoid using the Knox based features because they are a pain.

you should seek support from the rom developer, it sounds like some important libs have been removed, you could try a
Code:
.\adb shell pm list packages
to see what your missing from this list
or even se if a vpn routed through china allows connection to the server

Thanks for your response.
1st I have no access to contact with rom developer due to some reasons like developer is available on wechat official account that I couldn't able to create it with QR code.
2nd where if there are some missed packages then how i can retrieve them again?
3rd how to check china allows connection to server by vpn?
Edit- I have checked by installing vpn third party app & now it able to translates but it uses china baidu translator and i want to remove chinese translator from my device that blocks in my country so that i can translate without vpn.

if the developer has only disabled the specified app, or uninstalled keeping the data, that you may be missing, you can
run this
.\adb shell cmd package install-existing <package_name>
with package_name being the package you want to reinstall
ie
.\adb shell cmd package install-existing com.samsung.android.bixby.wakeup
and to try the vpn, just start a vpn and set the destination to route through as china

From this list i found com.sec.android.app.translator (App name S Translator) that is missing but in actual this package is outdated or Samsung change its package name to com.samsung.android.service.airviewdictionary ( App name SmartEye) in new models. But that already present in my device. So still confused which package should be...

And 2nd thing after using vpn its using another translation service by china. I wonder it would be removed 1st from the device by editing build.prop files, I'm not expert but if it needs to block those lines that connecting with chinese server.

Vivo X Fold vs Xiaomi Mix Fold 2
Hey guys, It appears that Vivo and SamEsung have a new threat on the horizon... The Xiomi Mix Fold 2! Thinner, ligher, having better spec than the X fold, almost same size screens as the X Fold... And let's face it, Xiaomi has a better software...

Got it like a week ago (UK)! Very impressed!

I have had mine for a week, agree best foldable to date.. Has anyone rooted yet ? other than mild annoyance with delayed notifications despite the regular setting changes in place in my home security and outlook all is perfect. Notifications only come in once I unlock the phone... No issues with google messages or whatsapp

These may fix delayed notifications:
Disable "Sleep mode" in battery settings
Disable "Suspend execution for cached apps" in developer options
Disable powerkeeper (Most people including me can disable it safely, but somehow few people got bootloop so take backup)

I want to use the original MIUI Chinese version as it is, so I created a Magisk module to add the languages! The translation is extracted from MIUI Global ROM for Xiaomi 11T Pro. This module also enables Google Location History & Nearby Share...

Is there a global rom for this phone? Do you need to root to install that? On my phone it does not say Global by MIUI version or anywhere, Im on stable Miui Fold 13.1.16. Any advantages to the Global rom? Thanks

There's no Global rom, and likely won't. There haven't been any announcements or rumours about brining this phone to the Global market. I'm hoping it does. Maybe if enough people import the Chinese model, they will bring the Mix Fold 3 to the Global market.
You can keep an eye on Xiaomi.eu to see if they develop a global rom for it, but as of right now they said they have no plans on developing one. If they do end up developing one, you will need root access to install.

Are you in the US? What carrier are you running? People I know are running T-Mobile on 5g without editing settings but my 5g does not stick and nothing I do in settings doesn't help (it isn't location either, 5g is right where I live)

Anyone in the US who has this phone, did you mess with any settings to get 5g? I know there's some people on TMobile that are getting 5g out the box with no settings update but with my T-Mobile sim, it resorts to LTE/LTE+ even though I have 5g preferred and all 5g switches on.

You don't need to uninstall the powerkeeper; turning off sleep mode in the battery saver scenarios should help.

if anyone can help me I'd really appreciate it. I've wasted so many hours now already since this happened. Damn near ready to cry our of frustration after importing this device to the USA and only having it for two days.
My device is not unlocked which from what I read means I'm screwed.
I can get into fastboot but that is it. My device is recognized by miflash but I think I can't flash anything because my bootloader is locked.
I keep searching, reading and trying things but my knowledge is not great. I can't get out of this bootloop or flash anything with miflash
oh man this is so bad, and I got rid of my fold also and don't have another phone.

Have you tried booting into recovery and doing a factory reset? You would lose your data but I'd imagine it would reset any package changes you made allowing the phone to boot again (I haven't actually tested this nor do I even know if there is a recovery as I haven't tried to boot into it)
