Hello wonderful people. I am in quite the pickle and I hope that you can offer some help.
I have been uninstalling bloatware on my brand new phone that arrived today, using the command 'adb uninstall --user 0 <package name>'. Here is a list of the packages I uninstalled:
Code:
com.amazon.mShop.android.shopping
com.s.antivirus
com.facebook.services
com.android.chrome
com.spotify.music
com.facebook.katana
com.sonymobile.xperialounge.services

com.facebook.appmanager
com.kobobooks.android

Now the settings app crashes when it is opened. The phone is encrypted by default. I cannot do a factory reset in the settings app, and fastboot won't touch the encrypted partitions. There is no recovery partition.
I reinstalled the last few packages using APKs from the web. I used the command 'adb install -r <package name>'. ADB said this was successful, but the apps cannot be launched and their icons do not show up on the phone. Settings still crashes.
Please help me out. Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Have you tried performing a factory reset by logging into your google account on the web and using Android Device Manager's erase data function?

Good suggestion. Unfortunately, Find My Device is turned off. I cannot turn it on because that would require the settings app. Any other ideas?

1] Are you sure it's off? Mine was on by default, I think. At least, it's on and I don't remember enabling it.
2] Do a clean re-flash using either Xperia Companion or XperiFirm+newflasher (with all .ta files).
A clean reflash with wipe should do it.
With XC, you should even be able to do a backup before you flash.

Thank you. Step 2 solved the problem! I used the 'Software repair' option in Xperia Companion. It wiped the user data and did a factory reset.
I feel like com.sonymobile.support is the source of your issues.
The support thing is the last item of the settings app.
It being gone must have made settings unhappy.
Plus, why would you want to get rid of the support app? Isn't it in charge of OTA updates?
I just came across this thread after Googling a similar issue. On my Note 8 I removed the Facebook packages and now have bootloops and am struggling to get back into the phone.
Hello.
I uninstalled Find Device (pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.finddevice) to avoid its periodic enabling reminders.
However now sometimes "find device has been destroyed" appears as a toast. Also the Security Status in the Settings now crashes.
After finding this message (despite it is other phone model) I'm frightened about a future reboot of my phone. Can my phone really enter in a boot loop the next time I reboot? I have the miui optimization disabled, though.
I have tried to install it back, downloading the 9.0 apk, but it says INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS. Using the "-r" switch also doesn't works ("com.xiaomi.finddevice is a persistent app. Persistent apps are not updateable"). I assume that this is due to haven't erased the app data (uninstalled with -k) but "pm clean" doesn't seems to clean it. I also have tried the -p option for partial installation, but returns a null exception.
Ah, my device is not rooted. MIUI Global 10.2 stable.
I managed to restore the application with the following adb command:
Code:
pm install-existing com.xiaomi.finddevice
It also works with applications uninstalled without "-k 0".
By the way, I used to use "pm disable", but now it seems it is called "pm disable-user".
So, next time I'll preferably use it instead of uninstalling, if works as expected.
Note that it doesn't allows to disable finddevice:
Code:
$ pm disable-user com.xiaomi.finddevice
Package com.xiaomi.finddevice new state: default
The package still continues in default state, unlike when it actually works:
Code:
$ pm disable-user com.miui.player
Package com.miui.player new state: disabled-user

is there a any way to uninstall this application without trouble (without bootloop)?
i have the same question is there a any way to uninstall this application without trouble (without bootloop)?
If it doesn't boot, it's awesome tho.
Without modifying the vendor ROM image there is no way to get rid of it.
Hello Friends,
When I was on MIUI 11, I had removed Mi apps like Mi pay, Mi video, Poco launcher, Mi browser and Mi music by adb. Now I have updated to latest MIUI 12 but I am not able to remove Mi calendar, Mi browser via adb. I get an error message, "failure [-1000]". Why is it happening and how I can remove the bloatware?
Hi Friends,
I am using MIUI 12.0.2.0 China stable ROM on my K20 Pro & I removed all the bloatwares apps included in this rom. For removings apps I use XiaomiADBFastbootTools.jar .I suggest you download this tool & install JDK (java development kit) for the removal process. I am very haappy with this tool. I also use it on XIAOMI.EU rom.
I hope your problem will be solved with this great tool.
On global rom the tool cannot remove these apps, no idea why not.

You try this tool on global ROM?
i try that tool on global miui 12 and it cant remove that apps.
But on latest beta orange fox recovery exist option to remove system apps. didnt try as i change miui 12 global to Xiaomi.eu weekly and tool can remove that apps.
so global stable cant remove and xiaomi.eu weekly can remove
I tried with both Szaki's tool and OrangeFox Recovery tool, none of them work.
I confirm that following apps can't be removed on Global (12.0.1) MIUI 12
Code:
com.mi.android.globalminusscreen
com.mi.globalbrowser
com.xiaomi.calendar
com.miui.player
com.miui.videoplayer
com.miui.weather2
Following error occurs when I try to uninstall any of these apps:
Code:
pm uninstall --user 0 com.mi.android.globalminusscreen
Failure [-1000]
I removed it

MIUI custom ROMs are not in question.
You allways can remove these sh*t apps on a custom ROM or, if can't be removed by "pm uninstall" command, you can remove by recovery.
The question is to remove these apps from unrooted and unlocked MIUI 12 global

I understand, but the answer is that we cant from miui 12 global. My phone is unlocked and i had magisk. and miui global stable, removing that apps is not possible with that debloater tool or commands. Didnt try other metods. but with debloater tools as sakis, it doesnt work.

The smallest ADB package for PC that is enough for ADB is Minimal ADB and Fastboot (find a thread on XDA)
According to your error, it was the following ADB command that failed:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <pkg-name>
Try instead the other ADB command:
adb shell pm disable-user <pkg-name>
Where <pkg-name> stands for:
com.mi.android.globalminusscreen com.mi.globalbrowser
...
or package name for any other system app you want to disable - use AppInspector from Playstore to read package names corresponding to the apps
I'm not using any windows command but the adb shell command to access the device then exec pm uninstall command.
I also confirm that I've tried also pm disable and pm disable-user and both fails to remove/disable the related apps

By AppInspector, find the system or data folder and apk name where the corresponding app is installed
By using TWRP (root not required) or e.g. MiXPlorer (root required), go to that folder and rename <app-name>.apk to <app-name>.bak and reboot
If you disabled a critical app causing e.g. a boot failure, use TWRP and rename bak file back to the original apk extension
To use twrp root isn't required but bootloader unlocked.
My bootloader is locked

Thanks a ton!! The MIUI browser (com.mi.globalbrowser) had been bothering me for quite some time, and because of you I was able to get rid of it! Thanks!
I can also confirm that using the disable function works on both the browser and calender apps, you can't uninstall but it will accept disable - problem solved

Btw, there is not much difference in disabling and 'uninstalling' - i.e., don't think that
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <pkg-name>
would really remove the package from your system
It only uninstalls for the current user 0 - but the app is still available on the system for user 999
And the opposite command:
adb shell cmd package install-existing <pkg-name>
would reinstall it (for user 0), hence package was not really deleted from the system (to save some MBs or so)
---
The only differences between disabling and uninstalling (both make it for user 0) are
- Disabled apps are still visible in Settings, Apps and some of them can be re-enabled by click from there.
Playstore will show you an update of disabled app and if you want to prevent its automatic update (and re-enabling) you have to disable its auto-update in Playstore.
Similarly for System apps updater from Xiaomi (disable auto-updating and when it offers to update an app you have disabled, click to ignore the update)
- 'Uninstalled' ones are not visible in Settings, Apps. If you want to 're-install' them you have to remember what you have 'uninstalled'' and their package names.
Playstore and System apps updater will not bother you about their updates
Thanks, but this is just with the ADBFastbootTools.jar and the uninstall option failed for the new Mi Browser and Calender, but the disable option worked. Both are annoying bloatware that can't be fully removed without root, so this is the next best option.

Tired of all the pre-installed applications that come with your new phone. Most of them tend to be useless and some tend to be on annoying side with push notifications and battery drains.
One way to get rid of all these intruders is to root your device and delete them using some application or manual purge. Not everyone is comfortable with rooting and it's risks. Also, rooting is not an option on many phones coz of limited support from the developer community. Does that mean one has to learn to live with the bloat?
Thankfully, No. You can get rid of them with the use of ADB (Android Debugging Bridge). The method is safer than manual purge and would not break any system variables, allowing to keep accepting OTAs w/o any issues.
Let's Debloat your Phone.
Note: This method works on every OEM rom as well as custom rom without root access.
Requirements:
Android Platform Tools
Prerequisites:
Disable "App Vault", "Swipe up for google", "Wallpaper Carousel", "Find Device", "Mi Sync"(Don't confuse Mi Sync and Google Sync though)
Follow the steps carefully :
Initial Setup
1. Go to About Phone in Settings.
2. Tap on MIUI version/Build version until it shows You're now a developer. It might ask for password in some cases.
3. Go to Settings>Additional Settings>Developer Options or Settings>System>Developer Options.
4. Enable USB Debugging, Install via USB, USB Debugging(Security Settings). Accept all the prompts thrown.
Note: Most ROMs will only have USB Debugging toggle.
Note: On MIUI, the above step requires an MI Account.
Main Process
Connect your device to the PC now. Recommend using a good quality USB cable for this.
1. Extract the platform tools zip. Navigate to the folder.
2. Shift+Right click and select open command window here.
3. Type adb devices
4. Grant authorization on your phone.
5. Type adb devices again and ensure that it shows your device as connected and authorized.
Note: If your device doesn't show up, you might need to install latest USB drivers for your phone. It usually happens automatically if you have an updated OS. If that's not the case, use this and install the USB drivers.
6. Type adb shell.
7. Type
Code:
pm list packages | grep 'mi'
Here mi is a keyword. You can replace it with whatever you want. This command would return all packages which have the phrase mi in their name.
Type
Code:
pm list packages
for complete list of installed packages.
8. Type
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package-name>
Replace the <package-name> with the package you want to remove. The names can be obtained from the list command in the previous step.
Tip: Package name can be found in app list. Just tap on the small 'i' icon on the top right corner of each app page on MIUI. On custom roms, it's usually given at the bottom.
Tip : If you can't see all apps. Tap on the three dots in the top corner on "Manage Apps" page and tap "Show All Apps". SImilarly on custom roms, it can be achieved by selecting "Show System Apps".
I'm not going to cover all the OEMs or Custom Roms. The process is similar across all OEMs and Custom Roms. Packages that are safe to remove on MIUI are given below:

Conclusion
This is not a complete list. You can remove anything that you find annoying using these commands. Just replace the package name with the package you wish to remove.
However, removing some apps could cause issues. Stay away from MI Account, Security and Google Services related apps. If you accidentally remove something and end up experiencing crashes, please follow the following steps.
Type
Code:
adb shell
.
Type
Code:
cmd package install-existing <name-of-package>
Replace <name-of-package> with the name of the package to be restored.
Note : The method doesn't delete the application. It only changes the permissions of each package and hides it in the system. A Factory Reset, OTA update or a Reinstall would restore the application. Also, if you create a new user, he would have access to the removed applications.

It's personal choice. The tool does the same thing. This is for people who want to do it manually without a tool.
Also that tool is specific to the xiaomi devices to an extent. You can use this on any android smartphone. This doesn't have java dependencies as well.

You can't remove an app completely from the system without root access. If you have a second user, you have to remove it for other users as well.
And I haven't mentioned find find device anywhere.
Great, debloated here. Missed play music only.

Well if you're have root, and can mount system as rw. You could use some root explorer and remove the apk's and there folder. But doing this prevents the ability for OTA update because now the system is changed.
The space saved by doing this is so tiny, you will never notice it.

Very nice thread.
FYI, I have been doing this on stock ROMs for long time. It's nice to see a listed description.
FYI, with this adb method , your debloated apps will remain gone after an OTA update. At least for me they do.

Well if you are concerned about the app data being left. Just run the command as in the . OP bit leave the "-k" off. This part of the command is (keep) , it keeps the user data on device. If you run the command without the -k, then it does not keep data.

Try running adb root and use the uninstall command on the package without the flags. Since you're rooted, it might just remove app + data.

What problems are related to miui gallery removal? Please tell me I don't want to search over whole xda. It is probably bootloop too but I am not sure (hint from some github page).
---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 AM ----------
If I get it it to bootloop by debloating, Can I fix it by adb? I know that I can reinstall app back by adb. I don't have root and twrp so far. Does it respond to adb during this bootloop?

If you get bootloop from adb app uninstall, you will not get to use adb. Factory reset from recovery will undo the changes.
As for the gallery apk. I had removed it and was no longer able to save any photos, from any camera. I was not able to delete files from device either. The gallery app is somehow forced into needed for /sdcard file permissions. You can set it to "adb hide". If you don't want to see it
I found a nice and easy way to get rid of bloatware, WITHOUT root, and using Rakesh's bloatware list.

But when I try it, I get stuck after installing Java SE Development Kit–and Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools, when the software will not recognize my phone. (USB debugging was done)
This is new phone. What else do I need to have, before this will work? Some accounts? A simcard??
Thank You
I guess adb drivers are missing. To installing that. And why don't you use simple adb after installing drivers.
Adb shell
Pm uninstall --user 0 <package name>
Pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name>
Would recommend first one, second retains cache and some data.
Yes it's a less intuitive way, but I prefer this doing everything myself, at least trying to rely on less and less dependencies.
But using adb doesn't free up space, it's more like it just disables app, the only difference is that in both the cases APK is still in system, just don't show up in settings like as it will remain shown when disabled.

Thank you for that list.
My problem is different..... I already have a list and I will of course compare it with yours. What I do not have is ACCESS.
The "usual" system, which I found here:
Does not recognize my phone. Probably, because I use no google or any other accounts. So I need to know what is needed to to access the bloatware, no matter what list I use...
