I need to remove some uninstallable apps like YouTube, MI Music, MI Share, MI Pay, etc.
Which tool or method should I use to uninstall these? I heard there is some ADB tool by connecting phone to PC using USB. But I dont know the details.
Google is your friend. Since adb commands are common to all Android phones, you can find the guides elswehere, including various threads and posts here on XDA
Search, read, learn about the pairs of commands:
adb shell pm disable-user
com.google.android.youtube
adb shell pm enable com.google.android.youtube
or:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.youtube
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.google.android.youtube
Here, com.google.android.youtube
is the package name for YT, hence given example is to disable/enable YT

Unlike the bloat known as Samsung you really don't need to disable apps forcefully to alter the performance of the device. Perhaps just disable Google Play Movies and whatnot through the factory settings. and the few other applications that are preloaded Google apps that you may not use.
I've owned a few Samsung phones in the past so I know what you mean (and currently still have a Galaxy Tab S3 using said app). On a device like the Tab S3, yes it 100% was worth disabling stuff to speed up the device. Not necessary on the OnePlus. There really isn't much "bloat."
Lastly, common misconception is I'll get more storage space by removing system applications. You're not gaining any space on your DATA partition but rather on your SYSTEM partition should you forcefully uninstall (which requires root anyways to do so).
Enjoy the device! :good:

Im not looking for perfomance. Just to freeze and hide apps from my phones ???
You can do this without root easily. Enable dev opts, then use adb..
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of package>
If you dont know the package name, you can use
Code:
pm list packages -d

I tried using App Freezer:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakasoftware.appfreezer&hl=en_US
It's supposed to work on most Android devices,not just user specific ones.
I couldn't get it to work,kept getting an "Accounts need to be removed" message when using ADB to do the initial set-up.
I even went as far as removing the OnePlus account app,even though I'd never logged-in to it & I still got the error.
I pinged the developer,they didn't have much to offer except to factory reset & try again,or use on a rooted device,which doesn't require ADB set-up.

Anything with "logkit" or similar is worthy of getting rid of,ditto for the OnePlus account app,backup/etc...
Bug Report Lite
BackupRestoreRemoteService
com.oem.logkitsdservice
com.tmobile.pr.adapt (T-Mobile version)
NVBackupUI
OnePlusAccount
OnePlus System Service
OnePlusLogKit
Push
I also user uninstalled an app that had something mentioning TenCent in the package name,I can't seem to find it now...
Naturally,if one uses any of these services,leave 'em alone.
AFAICT,I'm not experiencing any undesired effects from removing these via ADB (I'm still stock/unrooted).
If anything critical turns out to be broken by removing the above apps,I'll be more that happy to edit/update with explanatory notes.

You're on a roll this morning,ain't ya?
To counterpoint,it hurts nothing to remove certain packages.
If you're comfortable with your care-free attitude with your internet/data usage,more power to ya.
Yeah,thanks for the suggestion & after serious consideration,I respectfully decline.
While it is true that removing/disabling APKs in /system doesn't free up any space in /data (not sure how anyone would think that, but ok...) it could free up RAM that these APKs were using. Now, would that really make a difference in performance? Probably not at all. And with 6/8gb RAM, you wont likely run out and need more RAM freed up.
The OP asked how to remove/disable apps without root. Clearly he wishes to do so, regardless of any of our opinions. Let's try to remember that.

adb devices ---> Identify if device is connected.
adb shell ---> To enter commands.
pm uninstall -k --user 0 "X" ---> X is app location (i use App Aplication Info to get it)
cmd package install-existing "X" ---> If you f*cked up and have to reinstall what you deleted.
Really, I'm just trying to get my Fire 10 to be more like stock android. I was able to root it using Kingoroot but I'm unsure where to go from here as far as installing a custom rom like LineageOS, or if that's not possible, disabling as much of the Fire-related stuff and running a custom launcher. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you!

After installation of Lineage OS, is it still necessary to go through the disable OTA steps (or would all the amazon OTA stuff have been overwritten)?

Is it actually still possible to follow that procedure for installing a custom rom through TWRP since I am on the latest FW OTA update (5.3.7.0)? Is it still possible to do the downgrade step?
Once rooted and in custom rom, can a kid still use Freetime app as a standalone app?

I have not tried it, but it is available in the playstore to install as a stand alone app. I dont see any reason why it wouldn't work.

I don't think this works with 5.3.7? Or I'm missing something? It fails on the step-1.sh script due to incompatibility with the mtk-su script? Is there a work-around?

Oh, wow, thanks. How did this not come up in searching? I think I'm rooted now. Thanks again.
Hello!
I have Mi 9T 6/64 non rooted with 11.0.5 stable global rom.
With adb I uninstalled some of the programs, but I need confirmation if I may remove App Vault, because it's deeply integrated into system settings?
I have ebank app with NFC and it's working fine, I wonder if I may remove Mi Pay and Mi credit because they have some connections with NFC.

In Settings/Apps, Uninstall updates for App Vault, disable its auto-updates in Google Play and disable the app by ADB (yes, it's safe):
adb shell pm disable-user com.mi.android.globalminusscreen

You can disable them - I just did but not by adb but by renaming apps to *.apk, everthing works fine.
However, I don't know would it affect (I don't believe so) Google Pay, you must test
But before you do it, please give me a small favour:
Install an app like ApkInspector (from Google Play), and please tell me the path and the name for MiCredit app - I renamed it to *.bak and now cannot find it
The path is
data/app/MiCreditInStub/MiCređitInStub.apk

Thanks. Strange.
I had renamed
data/app/MiCreditInStub/MiCreditInStub.apk
to
data/app/MiCreditInStub/MiCreditInStub.bak
and after rebooting I was searching for
su
chdir /data/app
du -a | grep credit
du -a | grep bak
but did not found.
Now when you gave me the full path/name I see that I don't have the folder MiCreditInStub under /data/app anymore?!
Anyway, MiCredit app is for India only for instant loans in rupies of up to cca 1320 USD:
https://www.jainishshah.in/mi-credit-instant-personal-loan-app-from-xiaomi/
Apparently, the app is also available from Google Play, but only in India:
https://www.jainishshah.in/mi-credit-instant-personal-loan-app-from-xiaomi/
/system/app/InMipay/InMipay.app
is also for India only:
https://www.financialexpress.com/in...ia-through-mi-pay-app-details-inside/1939555/
Btw, I have QFJEUXM, not QFJINXM - so why Xiaomi did not remove them from the firmware?!
Both the two from above plus the third
/system/app/IdMipay/IdMipay.app
can be safely removed:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77706117&postcount=60
Instead of removing or renaming to bak (root or TWRP required), better use adb:
adb shell pm disable-user com.mipay.wallet.id
adb shell pm disable-user com.mipay.wallet.in
adb shell pm disable-user com.micredit.in

If you prefer a GUI, you may like ADB App Control by Cyber.Cat. It's free for basic version and cheap to unlock the extras. It works on everything Android that I've tried it on.
the program did it, thanks
