I can't uninstall com.miui.android.fashiongallery, it returns Failure [-1000]
I am on MIUI 12 and earlier I was able to uninstall it from the app manager in my Xiaomi note 9 pro max
Can someone please tell me how to fix this🙏🙏🙏

There are two commands I have added in the gist. 1. adb shell pm uninstall <package_name> 2. adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 <package_name>. Try both.

@Biswa96
Tried both earlier, they aren't working... :(
I have also tried adb shell pm uninstall -k com.miui.android.fashiongallery

just disable it with adb shell pm disable-user com.miui.android.fashiongallery

Do not uninstall com.xiaomi.account if you've already logged in MI account.
You will get "This device is locked" message and won't be able to unlock it!

Hi !! I believe I might have messed up the same. Am stuck on being unable to unlock bootloader at all. Message shows "account locked please try another". Any solution to the same?

I had a similar issue with wallpaper, calender and weather. I flashed my Poco F1 back to 11.09 stable ROM. Uninstalled those apps and then updated to miui 12 with 702 mb data. The wallpaper carrousel showed up but was able to uninstall it easily then as I believe the installation files were uninstalled.

Or as suggested you can try uninstalling / disabling it through ADB / jar file tool

try use -t:

Is there any linux equivalent of these available?

ADB is available in any GNU/Linux distribution. You just need to change the script here.

Do note that removing any of

com.miui.securitycenter
com.miui.securityadd
com.xiaomi.finddevice

will result in a soft brick requiring a full format, at least on current MIUI EEA 10 on Redmi 9T.

Redmi 6a also

is it safe to remove message app

Hi Kiran726, I can say yes, it is safe to remove message app. In fact I have removed the stock messaging and phone app from my phone and using Truecaller as a combined app for both. I have even removed the rest of all the apps except for security centre, phone settings (which you will need for call forwarding etc) Xiaomi framework, of tc to name a few basic but essential phone functioning modules

Привет!у ми 9 т мои звонке WhatsApp автоматически включается селфи камера.подскажите что сделать чтобы она не активировалась в кармане Hi! Mi 9 t my WhatsApp calls automatically turn on the selfie camera. Tell me what to do so that it does not activate in my pocket

finddevice has been keeping one core on my phone constantly awake wasting battery like no tomorrow. When I disabled it on MIUI 12, it gave me the constant ticker of "Find Device has been destroyed", so I re-enabled it. It has been fine for a month or so, but past couple of days the "Find Device" battery issue has become too much to ignore. I have disabled it and there is no warning ticker anymore, but most search results say if I attempt a reboot it will go in bootloop and a factory reset.

I am not sure I should keep it disabled, but I don't want the massive battery drain either. I am charging my 5000 mA battery device 3 times a day and its getting ridiculous. Has anyone faced this before? There are some search results for this battery drain but no concrete solution. Any help appreciated.

Why would device go in bootloop? Find device is offered from google as well, no?
BTW - how did you disabled it?

If one removes syncadapters for calendar and contacts - the meetings and contacts won't sync with G cloud, right?
Why remove it at all?

Why would device go in bootloop? Find device is offered from google as well, no?

The package name is com.xiaomi.finddevice. I think this is the other end of Find Device functionality where device reports its location, and the 'Find device' from google is the UI showing the location when needed.

Even in this thread there are posts saying it (com.xiaomi.finddevice) will cause bootloop if disabled.

BTW - how did you disabled it?

I disabled it via adb (pm uninstall). After constant ticker message, I re-enabled it, but apparently that wasn't enough. It went well for few weeks, but since past week it kept device awake all time. Then two days ago device started rebooting after every 5 minutes or so. Not sure if its related to that, but I'm taking much more conservative approach in disabling packages now.

On a Redmi Note 10 Pro I've uninstalled nearly everything related to Xiaomi and Miui, except these:

1. Warnings that removing them might soft brick
   com.miui.securitycenter
   com.miui.securityadd
   com.xiaomi.finddevice
   com.miui.securitycore

2. No idea what these do and couldn't find any info on google
   com.miui.core
   com.miui.rom
   com.miui.system
   com.lbe.security.miui

3. Functionality I wannt to keep
   com.xiaomi.xmsf
   com.xiaomi.bsp.gps.nps
   com.miui.screenshot
   com.miui.aod
   com.miui.cit
   com.xiaomi.cameratools
   com.miui.extraphoto

Note com.miui.aod is supposed to be related the always on display. However, while I can still change the settings for AOD, the actually functionality has gone. EDIT: actually after a restart it seems to be fine.

Using it for a couple of days now. Everything seems to be working ok with some minor exceptions:

1. wallpapers have stopped working (I don't mind about this)
2. the status bar now goes beyond the curved screen edges so the clock is partly cut off
3. The "recent apps" AKA "recents screen" functionality is now gone - in other words, when (long) pressing the menu button, nothing happens
4. A lot of the removed functionality is still in the settings, but changing the settings does nothing (e.g. wallpaper, themes)

I used .\adb.exe shell pm uninstall --user 0 to remove all the apps. I think it failed for a couple but I ignored those.

BTW to list all packages use:

1. adb shell pm list packages for currently installed
2. adb shell pm list packages -d include disabled
3. adb shell pm list packages -u include uninstalled

Some other useful commands from here:

# Disable app
pm disable-user app.package.name
# Re-enable it
pm enable app.package.name

# Uninstall app
# Sometimes uninstall command may not work without -k option on un-rooted devices
# -k: Keep the data and cache directories around after package removal. 
pm uninstall --user 0 app.package.name
# Install uninstalled system app
pm install --user 0 $(pm dump app.package.name | awk '/path/{ print $2 }')
# Another way to install uninstalled system app
pm install-existing app.package.name

Warning: don't remove com.miui.home without installing another launcher first as your phone won't have a launcher!
I use Niagara launcher so removing this didn't cause any issues.

Doing a bit more research into why the recents screen is not working - it seems like removing the launcher com.miui.home may have removed it.
However, it seems like MIUI doesn't allow third party launchers to control the recents screen so removing the MIUI launcher removes this functionality.

Hi. Using the listed packages above as a guide, I removed all these packages given below; and now I can no longer change ringtones on my Poco X3 Pro. Which one(s) do I reinstall to be able to do so?

@AA-Saf

Have you rebooted ur phone? Is same issue happening after reboot?

I would give packages with name global in them a try to install. All other looks ok to kick out.

@Cloud-Mak

Yep, did that the first thing.

I re-enabled "com.mi.android.globallauncher" as without it the recent apps drawer wasn't working.

Tried re-enabling other global packages, and it's still not working. 😔
