Help debloating - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

I want to remove Mi Feedback on the stock ROM as I don't feel comfortable with the data collection. Can I use this method https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
without breaking OTA updates?

Did you read it? It says:
Therefore, even if you “uninstall” a system application using this method, you can still receive official OTA updates from your carrier or OEM.

Thanks for your help, I tested if OTAs work and they install just fine, may I ask what does PAI do for you to want to uninstall it? According to what I've read all it does is install the mi apps from the playstore and define the home screen layout.

if you want to remove the apps,you can use the bat script,no root needed,put in the adb folder and give the necessary permission,run the bat script..mi launcher is disable by default

Permission Manager - Non-Rooted

Hello
Found an interesting tool on Google play today that can remove unwanted permissions that a non rooted user has to accept in order to install any app. its uninstalling the app when we edit permissions and then install it again. Not sure how this is working. Can any expert review and suggest if it is safe to use this application.

Its working fine on my Note 2 (GT-N7100) on 4.1.2 ... but after i modify the permissions i don't see the application in my Google play "installed" section but can see in "all" section. so i am assuming it will not offer any updates incase the developer releases any update?
is there a way to deny specific permissions to a application and still able to update applications incase developer pushes any update ?

Ideas For install Google Play on the new update

hii all
this theard for search Ideas to install Google Play on the new update
i Successfully root my x2 and try this ideas to install google play store but all fail :
1-install all google apps as a user apk
2-install craked google play and Patch to Android
3-install all google apps from cwm
4- the soultion is
Google Apps on firmware 2.1.0.11.
We will need:
Nokia x 2 v 2.1.0.11
Custom recovery
Root access
Root Explorer
Nokia x 2 tools v1.1
Course of action.
1. take a smart with a working firmware. To your I'm all set with "zero".
2. Put the caps custom recovery. Make a backup. In any case, it is useful. Through recovery can and Ruth get.
3. download the smart, go to Settings = > Protection = > unknown sources. Turn on them. Just in case I have disabled the checking of applications at the time all this pain.
4. turn on developer mode, it scrolls the five-fold on firmware version and USB debugging in settings.
5. where do you put the Root Explorer.
6. open it, go to system\app and cut from there 2 file
package verifier.apk
package verifier odex.
Plugins go to hell. In principle, can remove them, there are backup.
7. Reboot and connect to Nokia x 2 tools, put out plejmarket.
I was out of there just because this program was next. Prog restart smart.
8. PROFIT!
And as always-I am not responsible for your actions and your bricks received during and after the preceding course of action.
The CAP is not added because while I can say for sure that this way works, but its impact is unknown.
And there should be a way to raskirpičivaniâ smart teoretieski that sewn up with old firmware from gugloservisami to a new one. But is there any access to ADB-here's the salt. If there is only the need to carry 2 file.
The instructions above again-this is the way to the shoulder. You may need to edit something in the apk file. Perhaps it's the service control application sources. In Google there is, as I understand, the Nokia zapilila its.
Also, I have not worked and Hangouts-but then with some fear has become a work ... Read my post on the subject hèngauta

i tried jellybean 4.3 google services. i got bootloop :/ ,, dont know what they have done with new update
Also asking, we need to get rid of something (highly possibilities related to Nokia's new added google services) to avoid boot loop. It's annoying that I can't access Google Play...
I think that possible solution is to remove Microsoft's google integration and install Google apps. Now, I don't have access to the device. In my opinion, the reason of bootloop is conflict between this.

This guy up here is sayin some stuff which has a lot sense! I believe someone should try this n tell what will he get!
Perhaps deleting SyncService.apk under /system/app that seems the one Nokia added from the late update. I don't have a laptop to flash google service at the moment. Maybe someone can try.
update: failed ;(

How can I remove carrier installed apps on S8 - Rogers Canada

Hello
I want to uninstall and remove and spotify app which came pre-installed with the phone. I am using S8 on Rogers network in Canada. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Have you tried disabling the apps you don't need? If you haven't, then long press on the shortcut and pick "app info". There you will find disable button(if not grayed out). That is the easiest way off turning off the app which won't show in your apps anymore, but it won't uninstall it.

Thanks for the tip.
However, I have my own apk and wouldn't install saying the system already have file with same name. I can disable but it will not solve my problem. Any work around or ways to remove the preinstalled spotify files?

I have not tried it personally, but check this tread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294 There could also be other methods/apps that would help.
Try clearing app data than uninstall updates, this can be found in settings/apps.

Thanks for the idea.
Unfortunately, there is no app data visible/available for spotify so, cannot delete anything. Also how can you uninstall updates?

Go to apps then click Spotify then click storage then clear data and cache.
If you want to remove the pre installed version you need to be rooted to remove system apps.
The all you have will be the same as the one pre installed. You can always download an updated version.

Still, it doesn't work. I have my own spotify apk which conflicts with the pre-installed one because of same name.

Not if its a hacked version of Spotify.
I see no reason why someone would disable the included Spotify app to load "their own version"
The included app can be updated right from the google play store, so there is no reason someone should be uninstalling it to install a .apk version.
I am on a Rogers S8, so I know this is true.

Change your csc to xac https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71525525&postcount=1413 this will wipe your phone but get rid of all rogers bloat.

Thanks for the link to the forum post.
But the problem is - after doing this, the phone restarts and erase everything again and installs all the carrier apps. Is there anyway this can be stopped?
Thanks a lot.
Pull your sim card out and change it to xac.

Will it be different or remain the same when I put the sim back in? My experience is the sim erases everything and install all the carrier apps again.

Check out this XDA article. It details instructions to remove apps/packages without root, using ADB. Be super careful doing this or using a package disabler app Like BK Package Disabler or Adhell (which is free)...if you disable the wrong system package you may end up disabling important functions/features.
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
What you can do is only disable it. That's what I'm doing with texture also and zone. Don't flash XAC if you are still a Rogers user you will loose wificall and Volte.
Only time you can remove it completely is to root. (Not available)
Or flash the XAC but modify the feature file in XAC to add the lines to enable wifi call and Volte. And again not possible cause there is no root yet.
So it takes you back to the 1rst and only option and don't try any even when they claim it uninstall without root(it does not work with Samsung phones )
Just disable it "I think you know how hold the app icon and you see a popup to disable"
If you rebooted the phone , app will not show to show it back enable it again .
When any app is disabled you can't download the app it will tell you it's available unless if it's a higher version.
So if for some reason you want to have a clone " exemple disable original Spotify to download a cracked ) use apk unpacker and change the signature name on the cracked apk.

Is the ability to use ANY search engine to find the answer to such a simple question so hard that you had to create new thread?

Use adb
Use Package Disabler Pro for LG (on Play store)
Not 'deleting' exactly but this is good because you can restore them easily whenever you want to, which is a lifesaver. No PC required!
