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

Can you please tell how to debloated the system with commands I also like to do so but lack the knowledge
Since there's no thread related to safe-to-remove system bloatware/googleware, I decided to make one.
I'm counting on your help to expand this list.
Tested
Chrome
Alternatives: Firefox, Brave, Waterfox.
Or you could simply uninstall it as a system APP and reinstall it as a user APP. There's definitely no need for Chrome to be a system APP.
Contacts
Alternatives: Simple Contacts Pro, fully open-source (paid or free if you download it through F-Droid, but won't get advanced customizations), Contacts+.
I also advise you to remove Google Contacts as a system APP and reinstall it as an user APP if you wish to keep it, there's no reason for Google Contacts to be a system APP.
Gmail
This one actually depends on your email provider, since I don't use gmail at all, I completely uninstalled this.
Also I suggest looking at ProtonMail, it's an email provider mostly focused on user data protection (through strict Swiss data protection laws) and privacy.
Then again, if you wish to keep this APP, I suggest uninstalling it and reinstall it as an user APP.
Digital Wellbeing
If you use this functionality on settings you may want to keep it, I uninstalled it.
Also I noticed that ever since I uninstalled this APP, there's an error on logcat showing that something failed to connect to this APP. However it's just a log, despite that everything seems to be working great.
Google Files/Files Go
If you managed to upgrade from Android 8 to Android 9, you most likely kept the standard system APP "Files", however if you flashed Android 9 from scratch, the standard system APP "Files" becomes hidden, which you may unhide it using this app. (I didn't test it). You can also use FileManager by Xiaomi.
Or if you're like me and prefer open-source APPs, I installed Simple File Manager Pro, it supports root (paid or free if you download it through F-Droid, but won't get advanced customizations) or this free and simple file manager.
If you wish to keep Files Go (Google Files) you can also uninstall is as a system APP and reinstall it as an user APP.
Calendar
At this point there's not much calendar APPs out there with cloud sync support, so I managed to stick to Google Calendar, although I uninstalled it as a system APP and reinstalled it as an user APP. I know I said this countless times but I'm extremely against contributing to Google's currently huge power on user personal data, so I try to be as google-less as possible.
Lens
Don't know what this actually does, but Android 8 didn't have it and I looked it up somewhere and some people said that it was safe to remove, and so far so good.
You can read more about it here.
Google
Safe to remove, however your search box widget becomes pretty useless. I actually don't mind at all, it even switches to dark theme mode.
Action Services
From what I've read, this APP is responsible for the APP suggestions on your All-APPs menu, so you'll get some errors when uninstall this. To avoid the errors you have to deactivate APP suggestions first:
Long Press Home-Screen > Home Settings > Suggestions > Apps (Disable this)
And now you're free to uninstall this.
Photos
Definitely not keeping this one, with cloud storage and such.
Replaced with, once again, Simple Gallery Pro (paid or free if you download it through F-Droid, but won't get advanced customizations). You can also use LeafPic which is also open-source and looks great but I didn't actually test it.
Google Maps
I use this, however I uninstalled as a system APP and reinstalled as an user APP.
I'm currently slowly trying to migrate to Waze even though it was bought by Google.
YouTube
I occasionally use it, so I made it an user APP.
Probably safe-to-remove but not tested
Device Health Services
Does anyone know what this APP is responsible for?
Gboard
I don't use it but I didn't uninstall it because it may be required for first-time password input when turning on the device.
When I switch to another keyboard besides Google or SwiftKey (currently using), there's a popup saying "Note: After a reboot, this app can't start until you unlock your phone.", that's why I didn't uninstall it.
Messages
Unfortunately I don't know any good enough Messaging APP to replace Google Messages.
I know there used to be Silence, it even supported P2P encryption but I think it was discontinued. There's also Textra although not open-source.
Feedback
When trying to uninstall this system APP it's shown that it is a Key module, although I really doubt it really is.

@lbsilva Device Health Services is battery optimisation.
One of the very few useful threads for this device. Bravo! Ideally, once there is a consensus on which packages can be removed without crippling the phone some knowledgeable person should make a script to do the job, either something to flash or a bash + adb to do it from desktop.
I found this .bat file, I think it's reusable with those above but only in Windows.
Wouldnt recommend removing anything to do with qualcomm or networking, be warned.
OP, when you say "remove", do you mean "disable so it can't run", or "completely wipe it off the phone"?
I've got a Blu Life One X3, rooted with TWRP and Magisk. What I describe below is my second attempt to debloat the phone. The first attempt, I just uninstalled unwanted apps from the current user via ADB.
Example:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 -k com.android.egg
I entered into TWRP Recovery Mode and deleted the /system/app and /system/priv-app directories for the apps I didn't want. Upon booting, the phone went through the boot animation and music jingle, then stopped. I left it overnight, since it was late and I wanted to see if it'd work its way to a full boot. It didn't, so I recovered with the out-of-box Nandroid backup I'd taken.
What's strange is that the phone worked fine when the very same apps were just disabled (during my first attempt), but locked up when those apps were deleted from the phone.
Is there something else I need to edit?
How to uninstall without using command line? Is there any some GUI application to uninstall this??
*By the way how to download youtube vanced, i search it in magisk download , there's nothing

If you are rooted, download titanium backup from playstore and have fun.
For yt Vanced, try clearing the repo cache from magisk's settings and search again. Or search the module here on XDA and add it manually.
Edit: looks like Google screwd things up and made chrome almost a dependency or it's an issue just on my device. On Oreo, Gmail stops working after chrome removal. Looks like Gmail is now dependent of chrome webview, it's crashing when using Android system webview.
Edit 2: nevermind, after updating Android system webview, Gmail app has started working again.
great thread, thanks
I found some apps/services that you've successfully disabled. Just wanna ask if, is this universal? I mean I have realme phone and planning to disable all the same apps/services which you were tried already.
So, this is a pseudo-custom rom you are after, why not use the real thing? I'm assuming this is Android 9 since 10 is a total f**k. Why not use the real thing, a custom rom? I recommend AOSiP Pizza since it's the one I've been using for a long time and it proved solid. The only thing I replaced was gallery with Simple gallery and I use MicroG for what it's worth. This removing stuff from gappsed AOSP is totally ridiculous and counter productive, you do that with Miui and such if you really care about a particular UI but not with plain Android, that's nonsense.
Found this useful tool on git last year.
It allows a lot of nice little things among which uninstall/reinstall/disable/enable system apps and services on demand without root and without passes through adb/fastboot command lines.
And it was tested with Q too.
Also feedback app was safely uninstalled.
Feel free to try it.
This is the link: https://github.com/Szaki/XiaomiADBFastbootTools
Read carefully readme.md and faq before use it.
How can I restore some critical packages under TWRP (MIUI11)? I'm testing limits of what can I delete without bricking it and reinstalling ROM every time after that is very tiresome (boot into recovery, wipe cache and data, reinstall MIUI, boot into system, remove tested apps, then restore settings and try again).
There has to be a proper way to restore some app like, for example, com.xiaomi.finddevice

Magisk + terminal debloater.
If you break it, use TWRP to fix.
Look under /data/adb/modules/terminal_debloater.

Yeah, I have debloater but I'm talking about doing it under TWRP when system isnt even loaded, debloater is a module that works in OS. In TWRP recovery your terminal is barebone core loaded by recovery itself, there is absolutely no relation to the system and apps installed, no ADB environment, no app [meta]data.

I meant to use debloater to hide the app and you can then fix it from TWRP if it doesn't work. You could always setup the files it uses from TWRP but I guess that'd be harder to do.
I don't know how adb uninstall hides but you should be able to reverse that from TWRP too (likely removing some files).
If you mount /system just move things and move them back if it fails.

How would I fix it?
Does the "debloater" make extra unnecessary copies of APK when those already exist on system partition?

No, it hides them systemlessly, using files in /data/adb/modules/terminal_debloater/system.
---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------
Based on this: https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
I tried this:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.carrierdefaultapp
and to restore:
cmd package install-existing com.android.carrierdefaultapp
What I found was that with the app installed, I had some empty directories under /data/misc/profiles/ref/com.android.carrierdefaultapp and /data/misc/profiles/cur/0/com.android.carrierdefaultapp. When I removed the app, those directories were not present.
It's just a guess... but you could possibly save the contents of /data/misc/profiles (eg. tar cf /sdcard/profiles.tar /data/misc/profiles), pm uninstall your app and if it fails to boot, untar that from TWRP? Maybe test that theory with an app you know won't hurt before you do it for real
Note that neither terminal debloater (which uses mount tricks to hide system apps) or pmuninstall will actually remove files from /system. If you actually remove files from /system then the only way to get them back is to put them back.
mine is arriving any day. surprised there is no forum setup yet

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

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.

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)
