Debloating Android phone

[1982-1994]

Wow. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Are u able to use local android apps on it?

anything but google pay
but i am not using microg services and gbox as well
no problem with bank apps but i uninstalled it because lack of firmware update risks of getting hacked

Which huawei phone are u using?

mate XT

I think if using huawei phones most likely will need a main android/ iPhone that receives constant updates.

 

[Shion]

usually i root my phone and remove unnecessary apps

 

[erwinrommel]

Maybe also need install new app to have better scrolling.

I want the phone to work for me, not me working on the phone.

 

[Kiwi8]

After I debloated my phone by uninstalling the packages, I am unable to set custom ringtone anymore.

Which package should I restore to do so?

 

[zueinder]

anyone did debloat on samsung before? I want to do but afraid that samsung put in safety scripts to disable key features if debloating is done.

 

[dev_stg_prd]

anyone debloated your android phone?

I used Canta & Shizuku to debloat my xiaomi 13t pro, i find my phone is more responsive and battery can sustain very long time.

Removed all of Xiaomi's telemetrys, ad services, google bloatwares,

After debloating, singpass, bank apps, my corporate work apps still works.

PSA: For those doing, pls ensure you check and google before removal, safer to filter recommended in the Canta list then remove to avoid bricking phone, do not remove critical apps.

bro is this list safe?

Yes i think its pretty safe. no longer have lag on my 13t pro, however, when i started debloating i used the shizuku and Canta only, and i compare a few sources to re-affirm, however, not everything in that list u want to get rid off, eg compass, shopee etc. However to remove the ads and telemetry are absolute must.

Eg.
msa is the major sources of random ads, removing those ads and telemetry will improve your battery life.

com.miui.msa.global

in Canta u can filter for not system critical, if u are manually uninstalling, make sure u google the package to reaffirm else u can rely on the guide u just posted.

 

[Foetid]

After I debloated my phone by uninstalling the packages, I am unable to set custom ringtone anymore.

Which package should I restore to do so?

com.android.thememanager?

Btw a silly question, whats with the app that say Xiaomi comes with , shopee vs shopee I download from Google ?

 

[Foetid]

Btw a silly question, whats with the app that say Xiaomi comes with , shopee vs shopee I download from Google ?

dont think they are different, probably different version. Btw, if u use the remote or phone uninstall, u can always do the important one such as the removal of ads and telemetry, youtube, facebook, you dont have to do every single app that is suggested, actually the following is enough to speedup. Keep a record of what u uninstall, if uncertain dont do it. The 3 below will probably lead to better experience and battery already. Canta can filter for system critical or system apps etc, Eg dont uninstall Xiaomi native sms app, i think the google sms cannot replace it.

just buy pixel, no bloat, in fact very minimal skin

but they have notoriously poor battery life and mediocre SoC

Just buy Pixel phone for stock Andoid experience.

Pixel is buggy.

The reason why I buy Pixel 7 pro is the price.

Now see the price wanna vomit blood.

I'm not sure what bugs.

Once spotted, Google always releases new updates quickly. Unlike the other brands.

Buy the A series is more value for money.

 

[kopi22]

That's why I dislike using Xiaomi phones. Too much crap inside. Pixel has the best experience. Using Vivo x300 pro now. Comparing to Xiaomi hyper OS crap, Vivo is much better.
