com.miui.packageinstaller is not safe to freeze. It causes bootloop. I spent so much time detecting that :(

com.miui.packageinstaller is clearly in the Do Not Remove section, and could have been avoided if you had taken the time to translate the headlines. If a webpage you're viewing happens to be in a foreign language, simply enter the URL into Google Translate.

Nice! Thanks for the translations 👍

This topic is captioned as "MIUI 13 bloatware apps for safe delete list" in english. That's what I expected from the list NOT the opposite 😆. Thanks for the translations though.

com.miuix.editor 文本框长按常用语按钮 卸载后圆角变小常用语按钮消失，暂未发现其他影响

adb shell pm disable-user com.miui.aod

I recommend to enable this, otherwise it would cause the off-screen fingerprint unlocking to fail (would have to press the power button to light up the screen before fingerprint unlocking)
这个建议enable，否则会导致熄屏指纹解锁失败（导致要先按电源键点亮屏幕才能指纹解锁）

Disabling com.miui.miwallpaper in MIUI 13 makes the phone reboot when the screen recorder (com.miui.screenrecorder) starts recording.

My Redmi 9 Global(lancelot) device stuck in boot loop... i uninstalled only safe to uninstall apps.

In the new miui 14, at least for me, probably removing "com.android.htmlviewer" the phone resets, so I advise you to be careful

Only from safe unistall list right ? that's why i copy the bloatware name and searching it before to unistalled it.
for example joyose are limited the heat for gaming (fps to by the way)

After removing com.xiaomi.bluetooth the Bluetooth devices list is empty

Well what do you think genius.. you removed the bluetooth app!

I have removed the following 36 apps from my phone. I have no bootloops whatsoever, no problems with battery drain and basically all Chinese apps are gone.

These apps were all on my brand new Chinese Xiaomi 13 Ultra

I have also disabled the following apps which could not be removed:

# Xiaomi 2304FPN6DC Disabled applications

com.duokan.reader

I realise there are still tons of apps I can remove or disable but at this stage I really don't mind having some apps in the background running. It's mostly the junk apps or apps entirely in Chinese which I have no interest in having on my phone (except the Xiaomi app store which is necessary for updating system apps). I also want the ability to be able to cast my phone to my TV etc. as well so some apps I absolutely won't remove.

I'm using a PiHole and there's still quite a bit of telemetry being sent back from my phone even with all these uninstalled or disabled. I'm guessing that's baked into the system and there's little if anything I can do about it except to keep blocking it.

I'm not sure if all of these are from my Xiaomi phone but I haven't seen them until I got it:

cgicol.amap.com
tracking.miui.com
www.baidu.com
sdkconfig.ad.intl.xiaomi.com
www.a.shifen.com

EDIT: connect.rom.miui.com This one I allowed otherwise I get constant "You are offline" popups on my phone.

There was a LOT more domains before I removed a lot of apps.

I removed following from the Redmi Note 12 Turbo China ROM and device works perfectly. Except one issue which I'm unable to figure out so far. Sometime Edge Browser and sometime Stock Messaging app freezes upon opening with a message "Edge isn't responding" or "Messaging isn't responding" even if I close and reopen. Tested on Both Wi-Fi and mobile data. MIUI 14.0.25.0 Stock ROM.

I uninstall this one "com.miui.securityadd"
and the phone gone down
what should I do now ?

Previously I uninstalled several save to uninstall bloatwares and now I can't manage second space on my Xiaomi 12 Lite. How can I enable it back? A pop out message constantly pops out stating that I need to unpin the app, but even when I did so, still the second space can be managed.
Which pre-installed app or program that caused this problem? Can anyone help me?

A few accounts claim that com.miui.daemon and com.xiaomi.joyose are actually useful apps that help you with your phone's operation.

Removing com.xiaomi.micloud.sdk kills the default sound recording app.

Okay, thanks for the info 👍

"MIUI 13/14 bloatware apps, updated at 20240816"
isn't there a mistake in the date?

xiaomi bullet screen notification is safe remove, i confirm it :D

wallpaper backup too safe remove

I removed the following APKs on a Redmi Note 10S w/o causing any issues with operation, boot, security updates, etc., including a few apps described as not safe to uninstall above. However I can confirm, that the removal of com.xiaomi.finddevice causes problems, such as regular error messages. Also, despite the removal of below apps, significant network traffic to Xiaomi servers in China remains.

worked like a charm. only issue i ran into was that it did uninstall my keyboard with @Maetih apps. needed to download an apk and then reinstall the gboard app. not sure where that came from.

but y it still talks home, but at least most garbage is gone

Sorry to hear about your keyboard problems. I probably had already replaced the original keyboard with a privacy friendly alternative like AnySoftKeyboard or OpenBoard prior to removing the bloatware, as some preinstalled keyboards are sending every keystroke home. In order to keep the original keyboard do not remove the app "com.google.android.inputmethod.latin". The goal of the above list was to reduce also tracking by Google. If you want to keep all Google apps, services, do not remove anything, which starts with "com.google...." and "com.android...".
If one app too many was removed, the ADB command "adb shell pm install-existing <PACKAGE_NAME>" will bring it back in most cases.
The app "com.android.updater" provides system and security updates and is therefore essential. "com.xiaomi.discover" obviously upates preinstalled Xiaomi apps, including the bloatware. It is probably still better to keep it, as long as some Xiaomi apps remain.
"com.xiaomi.xmsf" and "com.xiaomi.xmsfkeeper" form the Xiaomi Service Framework. I did not remove them, though they are recommended by other users for removal. I do not know, what difference they make.
Also with "com.miui.global.packageinstaller" I followed a conservative approach and kept it, though some sources report, that the Google tool "com.google.android.packageinstaller" is sufficient to do the job.
