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.android.providers.userdictionary
com.facebook.appmanager
com.kobobooks.android
com.amazon.kindle

com.sony.tvsideview.videoph
com.sonymobile.assist
com.sonyericsson.xhs
com.google.android.apps.docs
com.google.android.videos
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.

or "adb shell pm enable --user 11 com.samsung.android.bio.face.service" or some other but every time I will get
Code:
C:\Users\Ali Allameh\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools>adb shell pm default-state --user 11 com.samsung.android.themestore
Package com.samsung.android.themestore new state: disabled
I don't know why the New State won't Change.
I'm willing to do ANYTHING just to avoid any data erase and backup my files and photos and videos on my device. even if i have to trip my knox for rooting or installing custom kernel/Recovery.
Please Help me I just need to access my files and stuff on my phone (i have also files on Secure folder too).
p.s: I have read about flashing Home_csc using Odin and I have the latest firmware files too but not sure what is my current csc to avoid Data Erase.
I am not expert or anything. But if you find no answer and No one is able to help you and the only option you have is to lose all data to make the phone work(by reflashing the stock rom), then i would say just download a latest firmware for your model for a country where you bought the phone. and flash it with "HOME CSC" file. And with that i wish you good luck.
i know this post might make you annoy like i shouldn't have posted. and i searched and found nothing if flashing different CSC , format the phone or not as HOME CSC does not format the phone.
if you have time, can you look at this post? someone pointed it to someone who wanted to change csc without wiping data and without rooting device.

You should have backed everything up first, you have disabled things required for your phone to work properly. you should have used something like greenify. For instance, how much battery do you think disabling the cool jazz font was going to save you? Not saying that is the cause of your problem, it just shows you are disabling things without knowing what they do because you think you don't need/want them. A majority of what you have disabled don't even run unless they are specifically called for by the user or a system process, and when they are done android puts them to sleep.
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.

I wrote email to Nova and I got instant reply:
"Hello,
Thank you for contacting Nova Launcher support. Below is a lot of information that we encourage you to read completely as it will answer your questions or other questions you might have related to the full system gestures in Android 10, Android 11 and going forward.
PLEASE READ THIS EMAIL IN FULL!
Home/Default Launcher Constantly Being Reset
If you are experiencing issues with Nova not staying as the default launcher on Android 10 or Android 11, these first steps are for you specifically.
If you are having issues with Nova staying as your default launcher, try this: Reboot your device. Or you can try Phone Settings -> Apps -> Default Apps -> Home App -> Nova Launcher. You might need to do this several times and reboot several times for this to fix the issue.
This is a very well known issue on Samsung and other devices, but specifically with new updates directly from Samsung starting as early as December 1st, 2020.
If this doesn't fix your issue, then you need to contact Samsung directly as the issue is on their end, with their update and has nothing to do with Nova or any other launcher, as this issue will happen in all 3rd party launchers.
The issue above isn't just for Samsung users, though the issue happens on every Samsung device that's gotten an update since December 1st, 2020.
Everything mentioned below is still present with the release of Android 11 on September 8th, 2020. Google has made it very clear that they have no plans to completely fix gesture-related issues any time in the near or even distant future.
Please take note that Google admits to this being broken on their end of things and that a fix will be coming in a future update to Android (stated March 2019).
However, it's now well over a year later and there are still many issues with full system gestures and 3rd party launchers on both Android 10 and Android 11. These issues will remain for the foreseeable future as Google have now made it clear that they have no plans to completely fix their full system gestures.
Notable issues with gestures on third party launchers include, but not limited to:
Close all/Clear app button not appearing(scroll all the way to verify it's not there)
Not being able to tap icons for a short time after returning to the home screen
Animations not being as fluid as expected
Screen blinks
Home screen icons blink
Home screen refreshes
Please understand, there is absolutely NOTHING WE CAN DO TO FIX OR CHANGE THIS IN ANY WAY! Contact Google or your device OEM directly with these issues as we have absolutely no control over it whatsoever.
Samsung Users
Samsung has allowed full system gestures to be used within 3rd party launchers with their One UI 2.5 update. This means you can now enable and use gestures, but there are still several issues regarding animations and the like.
As stated, there is nothing that Nova (or indeed any other 3rd party launcher) can do about this and it is ultimately up to Google and OEMs to fix navigation gestures.
Google's statement and Nova's statement
Google: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2019/07/android-q-beta-5-update.html
Nova: https://help.teslacoilapps.com/faq/gesture-navigation
Enabling Gestures
As of the December 2019 Security Patch from Google, you can now enable full system gestures within 3rd party launchers on Pixel devices. However, the caveat of this is that you are likely to experience the issues mentioned above. To reiterate, this is still all up to Google to fix at some point in the future and to get things working 100% the way everyone expects them to be.
If and when you experience issues with gestures on 3rd party launchers, we highly recommend you contact Google and not Nova Support because, as we have said, there is absolutely nothing we can do to fix Google's problems.
Devices From Other Manufacturers
As some members in this Discord have noticed, some devices from certain manufacturers provide a reasonably usable experience with gestures. In particular, OnePlus devices on Oxygen OS 10 and above behave reasonably well with gestures.
This is because OnePlus (and other manufacturers) are using their own implementation of gestures rather than Google's which means that you might not get all of the issues referenced above. However, just like before, we (Nova) have no control over these and any issues you do experience should be brought up with the manufacturer and not us.
Action Launcher's False Claims
Action Launcher made an announcement back in late December 2019 which is completely misleading. When stating that they support system gestures, They are referring to the back swipe edit zones and other features within the app not interfering with Android's own system gestures.
As stated before, full system gestures are completely controlled by Android and are not something a launcher can just suddenly add support for or change in any way. When using gestures with Action Launcher, you'll quickly notice that the experience has just as many issues as it does with Nova or any other 3rd party launcher, reiterating the point that it is not something that any third party launcher can change or improve."
If I understood this correctly its MIUI problem...
1. Stereo upper speaker stoped working today.
Had this issue on Chinese rom and it happened again on Global. Is anyone experiencing this? It start working again after restart and calls...
2. Anyone know how to change haptic for the fingerprint unlock? It is disaster. If it can be switched off just for fingerprint unlock that would be the best! Or some tweak to vibrate differently?
[Update! 2. Solved] Haptic for fingerprint unlock on 12.5 rom is completely different in a better way. And so are the fingerprint animations
Hello, I don't know if this will be the best thread to ask my question, but I think so.
I just bought a XIAOMI MI11 (I had always had Samsung) and I am very happy except for the dialer: I don't like the Google dialer or the contacts at all.
I know I have several ways to fix it:
1. Rotating the mobile and installing the apps manually.
2. Installing the ROM xiaomi.eu
But both methods imply loss of warranty, and I am not attracted to the idea of losing the warranty of a high-end terminal with only a few weeks.
Is there any way to do it WITHOUT LOSING THE WARRANTY?
I can think of two ways, but I don't know if they are possible:
1. Would it be possible to install a Stock ROM that has these apps? Maybe the Indian version?
2. Could I root the phone, install the apps and then unroot it? I know you have to unlock the bootloader, could I lock it again?
Doing this leave a mark? Samsung, for example, activates a bit that showed a yellow warning triangle every time the mobile software had been modified, and it was never removed again. Here is the same thing happening or is it reversible?
Thanks for the help, if it is not possible, I will try to get used to the idea, but it is sad to have a high-end phone and not being comfortable with some apps ...
Bootloader Unlocking does not Void Warranty of Xiaomi and Redmi Devices - Gizmochina
Xiaomi smartphones are popular in the developer community, thanks to the company’s policy regarding warranty against unlocking of bootloader. But the brand has now updated its policy. Thankfully, bootloader unlocks still does not void warranty of Xiaomi and Redmi devices but with some caveats...

Doing this leave a mark? Samsung, for example, activates a bit that showed a yellow warning triangle every time the mobile software had been modified, and it was never removed again. Here is the same thing happening or is it reversible?
Thanks for the help, if it is not possible, I will try to get used to the idea, but it is sad to have a high-end phone and not being comfortable with some apps ...

Bootloader Unlocking does not Void Warranty of Xiaomi and Redmi Devices - Gizmochina
Xiaomi smartphones are popular in the developer community, thanks to the company’s policy regarding warranty against unlocking of bootloader. But the brand has now updated its policy. Thankfully, bootloader unlocks still does not void warranty of Xiaomi and Redmi devices but with some caveats...

You don't loose your warranty so don't worry.
For now you can not download dialer apk and install it manually on global rom, believe me I have tried it , like you I am hating google dialer and contacts. But the rom is stable and that works for me. We just need to wait for some developer to make MIUI dialer work on global rom.
{CORRECTION} - You can install EU rom which has MIUI dialer and when you flash it just click on the option "clean all and lock" and the phone will have locked bootloader with new software. - {you don't install EU rom with xiaomi fastboot tool , you just click on the bat file and I don't think there is a option to lock}

There is no yellow markings or anything like that. So no worries.
Also you don't need to root your phone so you can install apps. And you can uninstall system apps with adb commands without rooting your device. Its very simple. Just google it.

Thank you very much, Asnamus, for amswering so quickly. I have a couple of doubts:
1. You said that I cannot install the apk manually (I have also tried it and X- closes) but that if we wait, a modified one will come out. However, I have searched and there is nothing similar for users of other terminals (mi9, mi10 ...). Do you think someone will adapt the app?
2. If I install XIAOMI.EU you say that I can check the option "clean all and lock", what program is it in, with XiaoMiTool? Would that close the bootloader and unroot them? But the manufacturer would still know that it is not an original rom and it would affect the warranty, right? And is it updated via OTA?
3. Finally, you said that I can install and uninstall apps without being root with ADB commands, but I have read that if you uninstall the apps, you should brick the phone, is there a risk with the dialer app or with messages? Have you tried doing it? I found this guide (sorry, it's in Spanish) https://c.mi.com/oc/thread-3292740-1-0.html?mobile=no but it shows a list of safe apps to uninstall and the dialer doesn't appear among them. And it does not it seem to let me install from there.
Cheers and thank you again.
1. I sure hope so! If not maybe I will switch to EU rom just because of MIUI dialer.
2. Yes Xiaomi flash tool https://www.xiaomiflash.com
You return device to store where you bought it not to the manufacturer. Research more about that , "returning bricked phone with unlocked bootloader ." For example. I have never returned so I don't know what will happen.
3. Yes I did uninstall lot of system apps also some that are not on the list. But I didn't wrote down which apps did I uninstall. You can go in to apps and select show all apps and scroll and click on app and you will have (i) in the top right corner, click on that and it will show you which app is it and than just google it is it safe. All this process require some problem solving and some skills, if you are not sure and never done it (installing rom and other) maybe its better you don't do it. I went through a lot of errors and stayed all night and half next day but on the end I successfully installed this global 12.0.3.0 rom.
Bricked devices is not dead and broken, everything is fixable. And you can do it by yourself you just need to have some skills and don't be afraid good luck

You use the Xiaomi.eu now. Have the MIUI Dialer a Spam call identifier?

I found a nice and easy way to get rid of bloatware, WITHOUT root, and using Rakesh's bloatware list.
How To Remove Bloatware From Any Xiaomi Devices (Without Root): Easiest Way!
Have you just gotten a new phone and is it already filled up with a bunch of spooky apps preinstalled? Have you tried long pressing and dragging them up your screen to uninstall? Alas! There isn’t …
technolobe.com
Xiaomi Bloatware List | Remove Bloatware on MIUI 14/13/12
Find the list of safe-to-remove Xiaomi and MIUI bloatware. Learn how to uninstall system apps on MIUI 14, 13 & 12 via Xiaomi ADB/fastboot tools.
technastic.com
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...
