[Q] Is it possible to remove MIUI Bloatwares?

Im thinking buying this device. I also happen to know that the Xiaomi Mi3 forum commnunity are not organized but thats just me.
In MIUI, theres all this Security app. Antivirus app and so many apps MIUI built in to the ROM. Can it be removed? Im planning to not upgrade it to CM or AOSP but keeping MIUI except that I'd replace certain stuff with CM stuff. I think its more stable that way.

If ur on the Developer firmware and have root access, try using a root explorer (I used ES File Explorer to replace the stock Calculator with CM one...)

So, I must be in Dev Firmware to remove the bloats? Can I be in Stock ROM and remove the Mi Cloud or whataver Theme manager stuff?

U can be on stock & remove the bloatware but u need to be rooted. Try root uninstaller apps from playstore to do so

Well, as he said, you have to be rooted. So why not flash the Dev ROM (with MIUI 6!!) to get root access?? If you DONT like MIUI 6 though (still in active development hence missing loads of features) you'll have to root your stock ROM. You'll find guides in MIUI English forum. Do a Google Search. :good:

How is the battery life on los 15.1??

Its good

Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 is very stable & as far as I'm concern, also bug-free.
To get better battery life, root it Magisk then install Greenify and Root Master (choose Battery mode).
Currently I'm using Pixel Launcher 3 instead of Trebuchet launcher from RR.
Status: Finish full charge on 7am, bring to work, connect to office Wi-Fi, back home at 6pm (also connect to Wifi), battery is still 48-51% remaining.

Does Resurrection need to wipe internal storage coming from Miui 9 Xiaomi.eu or I can flash it with simple system/data wipe? 120 GB of data is a bit annoying to be moved somewhere else.

Does it need storage wipe or only system/data wipe to be flashed?

Based on my experience moving from MIUI 8 Global Stable to Paranoid 7.2.1, it's not necessary to wipe the internal storage. Just make sure you have the right version of TWRP installed and flashed the most compatible fw version with the ROM you want to flash. As for RR, I use the capricornCNFirmware-7.11.16. Google it for the download link. Happy flashing...

A thing that I really want to know is: I'm moving to an AOSP ROM because Miui 9 system block some apps to properly working, so I want try on another ROM and I want root it,
1) can I go with SuperSU zip as usual or there are better alternatives?
And a very interesting thing I want know is
2) how does camera work? Is it good?
3) if I want apply camera mod to enable 1080p 60 FPS recording, does it work? Never tried?

If you currently use MIUI 9, make sure you unlock the bootloader first to be able to change the bootloader to TWRP. Only after successful install of TWRP you can begin flashing the custom ROM of your choice.
1) As for rooting, I use Magisk (install the zip via TWRP). Magisk comes with handy apps for you to download many interesting add-on module, such as Viper4 music equalizer, Google Product Sans font, Greenify, etc.
2) You can install gcam or even a ported Mi A1 camera apk. Browse through this XDA Xiaomi Mi5 forum. Plenty of information here
3) Sorry. Never tried this. Maybe anybody else can help?

Los15.1

Omni rom is the best as for battery, fluid, bug free, stable for Oreo
Paranoid Android for 7.1

Does lineage os support double tap to wake?

It have that option sometimes its not functioning

60fps can be forced in some 3rd party camera apps(Google camera mods for instance) via modifying a system file, but the effect is actually the opposite. 30fps videos get about 22fps and 60fps gets 24fps. As far as i know it's IMPOSSIBLE to really record 1080p 60fps with Mi5. Probably some hardware limitation, otherwise it would be enabled by default, there have been many official updates since release.

Oh no it is possible to record in 1080p at 60 FPS infact OnePlus 3 with same hardware of Mi 5 already support this function since 2016 (shame on Xiaomi which still doesn't give us this possibility). But fortunately we have great independent developers who try to get us all features to our phone, infact on a forum some good devs were able to bring us recording in 1080p at 60 FPS. Check the Mi 5 mod section to find it and be able to use it.

Tried it, doesn't really work, I thought I made it work too. Read what I said... As far as I've read on all forums, nobody made it work, so it must be impossible. I can really love with it though.

Custom Rom with Parallel Apps

Hi Peeps,
Can anyone suggest any custom Oreo ROM with Parallel Apps feature?
Here is what has already been tried -
Dont want MIUI
Dont want custom APK of Whatsapp. Dont trust those
I know there is ParallelApp app in playstore - Didnt full try - but want to keep it as last resort
Beta 22 - Parallel App feature out of the box is BEST. Just looking for 8.1 ROM that can support it similarly
Best options would be maybe a magisk module, xposed module or inbuilt like open beta
I really love Oreo 8.1 custom ROMS, especially, now Lineage and others have started with full throttle.

Question which one to flash Xiaomi.eu or MIUIMix by MMX

undecided , all i know about miuiMix is that it is based on Xiaomi.eu , comes rooted and removed cleaner app ? and thats it they called it miuimix?
anyone that has it installed or tried them both can you share your experience
i am abit concerned about the root on MiuiMixand the banking app but i heard from someone that you can hide it with magisk

What you said is correct.
I am using latest MiMix build for Note 10 Pro Max and it is absolutely smooth and stable. You can use banking apps without any issues by hiding magisk and banking apps.
Not sure about gaming since I don't play games.
Cheers!

can you check which system apps were removed , how many percent battery drain do you have over night , and screen on time on full charge
themes should not work on caller and messaging app correct ?

Seriously? Do I need to remember or check which systems apps were removed? I don't care.
Battery drain overnight is 1% or even 0% sometimes when wifi and mobile data is off.
Did not check screenon time.
Themes seemed to work on Caller Screen. Not sure about Messaging app, but it depends on Themes you applied.
If you want to flash, then do it and check yourself in detail. Otherwise, leave it.
Cheers!

cheers i will go with the xiaomi.eu , sounds ridiculous to steal their work with just putting root and deleting an app or two and call it a different name , thanks for the reply

It's not the same. Xiaomi.EU is just MIUI ROM with removed bloatware and latest features added from chinese version of the ROM.
OneOS and MiuiMix take this Xiaomi.EU rom and tweak it a little further by adding some of the other custom rom features and some apps that you most likely will use since you unlocked your phone (Magisk, Substatum...)
OneOS and MiuiMix are basicaly tunned up versions of XiaomiEU

Question MIUI 12.5.7 "Enhanced" edition has destroyed my battery life.

Whatever they did in this enhanced edition that just rolled out globally has absolutely wrecked my battery life. I used to be able to get 6 to 7 hours of SOT. Now I get like 4. And I'm not even using performance mode!

U are right... enchanted my ass

Enhanced it is

Very bad experience with battery life also... EEA

Same here my battery life has tanked

Did yous all did a clean start or just update? If major update its always better to start clean.....

I have no problems with battery, you can always also turn of 5G in preferred networks, and use only LTE, it stops device from constantly searching for 5G and saves battery.

Sorry for the small hijack but was this update pushed to your phone or did you have to flash it yourself? I'm intrigued to try it. Thanks.

3 days from update my phone and i didn't see any difference.
Only new logo when i restarted...

I have been having great battery with latest 12.5.9, install the latest CN security app that brings the GPU tunning for games and so far solid battery. Feel that the last two updates have improved in the sluggish UI.

Sure, yes I am rooted. I also use banking apps and Google pay and they work just fine. Using it in the USA.
For the security app I was searching for ways to activating GPU settings, found several guides and none worked, since the flag is already set to True it wasn't a flag issue.
So I download the apk installed through a third party file manager with root access (I use mixplore) it also works with the package installer but some apps wont install unless is with a third party.
I managed to update many of my stocks apps like settings, security, notes etc. Some I have replaced with CN version and they all work fine.

Btw if anyone wants some cool themes I been using https://www.miuithemez.com/?m=1 themes from that site, they all have access to be download within the theme app so there is no need to import them.
