Aloha guys,
I just got my new MIUI 8 based phone and I want to prevent unwanted apps from doing unwanted things on my phone.
In this thread I collect all apps that may be seen as "unwanted" by users.
If you have disabled any app in MIUI 8, please feel free to share your experience with us
If you run in any trouble switching off an app (listed here or not), please be so kind to give us a hint
Freezing or deleting apps can damage your device. Please make a backup before you manipulate your system
If not mentioned, all apps are disabled in MIUI V8.0.3.0 global
Nuff said - lets have a look on the list

Bloatware List MIUI 8
--- reserved ---
I use the Xiaomi.eu version of MIUI 8 and it has literally no bloat. You can check from that ROM which apps are not required
Thank you for your post. For some users Xiaomi apps like the email-app, the dialer or the weather-app may be "unwanted apps."
Since these apps are system, they have wide ranging permissions and the possibility to spread data to whoever.
You said "You can check from that ROM which apps are not required" - did you uncheck any apps when you prepared the ROM for your device?

I have safely deleted 50+ system apps on Miui haha, only one app controlled the menu button, don't know which one though.
Good luck!
Nice! Looks like some stuff to tidy up. Thanks for the links.
I will test them, after my phone is accessible again

Yay! Fixed it. I am testing disabling the apps. Every success, I will add to the list above.
When replacing the stock MIUI dialer (contacts and dialer, com.android.contacts)
with google dialer (com.google.android.dialer) - I face the following problem: the call history is empty.
The issue is addressed in this MIUI-forum-thread, but the guys there have a little different way to "help" people out...
To solve this issue I tested several dialers (dialer or dialers?). I mostly downloaded them from APKMirror. Here are the dialers I tested, and that do NOT work:
- google dialer 2.05.01
- google dialer 2.05.07
- google dialer 2.05.11
- google dialer 2.05.12
- google dialer 3.01.15
- google dialer 4.0.1272
- google dialer 4.1.1347
- google dialer 5.1.1312
- google dialer 6.0.1360
- drupe
Most of them were not able to install and those, that were did not NOT show a call list.
The only dialer that worked was:
- Marshmallow Dialer 6 V1.0
But this dialer is not from Google, it has ads and seems quite suspicious for me (because they hide behind a 1:1 copy of the Google Dialer, there is no impressum / about info and I heard of antivir software that report this APK to be suspicious)
hey guys, i uninstalled yesterday some system apps with adb uninstall.
after som testing with some other roms i decided go back to miui 8 and stay there completed unlocked und unrooted
now i wanted again to uinstall some gapps and mi stuff and i always get an error
Failure DELETE FAILEDINTERNAL ERROR
doesnt matter if i try with uninstal /dir/dir/apk.apk or with rm and adb shell i always get the same error.
and srsly i dont know what i did that i could uninstall system apps because now its not working anymore.
After flashing an other ROM, you have to root it again.

I didnt flash root before, because im using banking apps that detect every root. The banking arent running if they check root.
Thats why im wondering, never installed root and i was able to adb uninstall, after flashing china and global rom back i get faileiru if i start uninstalling system apps.
I am not sure, but I heard, that the chinese DEV ROM is always rooted.
"Global ROM" must be rooted manually, maybe that´s the difference.
By the way: You can prevent banking apps from checking your root status, by installing Xposed framework + the module Xprivacy. Then deny access to Shell | SU for the specific banking app. Works fine, but if you are not familar with Xprivacy, it is a bit complex to get into it.
Edit: Nah.. does not work for all banking apps. DKB PushTAN does not work for example.
The 3S Prime is my first Xiaomi phone and I'm so confused as to how disabling non-essential Google apps can cause a phone to bootloop...
If you remove the MIUI launcher, you can't set wallpapers from the Settings anymore.

You mean lock screen wallpapers? Because if you remove the MIUI launcher you have to install an alternative launcher , that has its own wallpaper anyway.
When you uninstall DocumentsUI.apk in android MM 6.0+ you cant excess external sd to copy or move any file vice versa...

I deinstalled several google services (all mentioned in first post). Doing so did not cause any bootloops on my device. Did you disable more than the mentioned ones?

No, sorry for the confusion. The list worked fine, I've since moved to zwliew's CM 13. I was just making a general statement how absurd it is that disabling non-essential system apps can cause bootloops.
Is it possible to install the Mi camera app as a standalone app on any other device or in a different ROM on this device? If so would I be able to get all the features of the camera app?

Installation
Download ROM and place on your SD card
Boot into xRecovery
Flash the attached file with xRecovery by using "Install custom zip"
IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY ON .435 FIRMWARE: Flash this with Flash Tool.
Reboot and be patient. First boot can take several minutes at the boot animation. This is normal.
On first boot you'll get a "Complete action using..." screen with LauncherPro and the Setup Wizard. You can choose either.
OPTIONAL: Uninstall the Setup Wizard by holding it over the trash can until "Drop to uninstall" appears.
Check out this link after installation for tips on LauncherPro: http://androinica.com/2010/08/23/11-ways-to-get-the-most-out-of-launcherpro/
I recommend at least changing the opening Speeds to 10 (Prefrences > Advanced Settings > Opening speed). That makes the phone feel a lot more responsive.

Q&A
Q: Does this ROM come with app2sd?
A: No. An app2sd version will come, but your SD card will have to be partitioned first. See this thread for more information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=800555
Q: Is this for X10a or X10i?
A: It will work for either, but your "About phone" page will show X10i (See screen shot above).
Q: What is "zipaligning"?
A: Zipaligning is a way of optimizing an APK's RAM use.
Q: What will happen if I update a zipaligned APK?
A: The update will download and overwrite the zipaligned version.
Q: Does everything work?
A: Yes. That was my intent with this ROM: Provide high performance without loss of functionality. Everything that works in the stock SE ROM (Bluetooth, WiFi, Camera, etc) works in this ROM.
Q: Can you replace LauncherPro with LauncherPro Plus?
A: I can't, but you can. Just enter your product key in preferences. You can also install a different launcher like ADW, but you'll have to use TitaniumBackup or a root uninstaller to remove LauncherPro.
I hope everyone finds this ROM useful. Requests and suggestions are welcomed. If you use this for a theme or as a base for a custom ROM, please let me know. I'd like to see where this winds up. Thanks.
is this rom come with app2sd? and how much is the partition size?
suggestion if i may:
transparent notification bar.
better looking of fonts. (Nosferatu or Sony Sketch)
bootanimation.
including SetCpu and Thumbkeyboard.
hopes it helps. just a thought.
cheers,
xcxa23
well. thanks for the quick respond. good luck
This does not come with app2sd. You have to partition your SD card yourself. See this thread for more information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=800555

Zipaligning is a way to optimize an APKs RAM use. If you update an app, you'll lose this optimization, but I will keep current copies of all APKs in this ROM available. I will also optimize any other APKs requested.

It should support all languages that the stock SE ROM does, but I have only tested English. When you run the setup wizard after first boot, you can select whatever you want.
Great idea to make a basic speed ROM like that!
I'll wait for the lite ROM without apps and download your apk package separately
Hey,
I love the ROM as its extremely fast and I can't wait for the you to get themeing. However I can't sync my contacts. Even if I try to force it from the phonebook it quickly crashes and then restarts.
Aside from that everything seems to be working great.
If you have any solutions for the sync please let me know as I'm on the road (I know I'm an idiot for flashing when I had to leave) and don't have any contacts or phone numbers memorized
Edit: Also there isn't an account sync option in 'Settings'.

Just spam the sync button in the contacts menu and it should start syncing. At least for me it did.
i have the same problem with the contacts, i can`t sync with anything, and i can`t restore contacts from an existing backup, please do something
L.E. here are the screenshots of the errors that i get

ALL THE GOOGLE APPS IN ONE PACK
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS -- PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE TRYING
What is gExperience?
Its a pack that has ALL the Google Apps in one single place for which you can select individually what you want to install! This pack not only has the standard Google Apps but also what is available at the Play Store, including restricted apps not available in every country. It also has inverted versions for available apps. It also tries to install all possible apps to /data partition so you don't end up with no space in /system. Finally, you can choose to uninstall undeed files for your language (like Offline Google Now, Pico TTS). All of this fully customizable thanks to Aroma Installer.
What is included exactly?
You can check a list here. Please note that as of now there are some apps not available for install (even though they show up in the installer).
These unavailable apps are:
All Google TV apps (if someone knows where to get them, please PM me)
Google Catalogs (if someone knows where to get it, please PM me)
Google Apps Device Policy
Google Apps Lookup
Google Chrome to Phone (1 request so far)
Google Analytics
Google Authenticator
Google Finance
All Google IME
Google IO 2012
Orkut
Schemer
If I receive 5 or more request for any of these apps I will try to include them
How do I install this?
Just like any script in CWM Recovery. Just select the zip and let Aroma guide you through the rest.
Can I install on my NOT Defy device?
Is my understanding that this script should work with no problems with Bravo and Milestone 2 devices. It should work with other devices as there's no device dependent scripting. Please note that this pack DOES NOT includes FaceLock as it is not supported for my device.
Currently known supported devices:
Defy
Is there anything else I should know?
YES, please be aware that whatever you choose NOT to install will be DELETED from your device (if you have that app installed obviously). This only applies for apps installed with gExperience.
Can I install on top of my full size gapps?
You can, but it can lead to unexpected results. One thing you have to understand is that the app name can have any name (it will not affect the name of the app when you install it). For example, I can name the YouTube apk as "XDAYT.APK". It will install normally and with no problems but there's no way for the script to know the name of the file of every app installed so this script will only install and uninstall apps installed by itself. You're probably better off installing this on a fresh ROM with no gapps installed.
Can I translate it to my language?
Sure you can! Please point your browser here: http://www.getlocalization.com/gEx/
Languages supported:
English (by me) | UP TO DATE
Spanish (by me with some help from edqu) | UP TO DATE
Polish (thanks to trurl3) | 0.2 beta
Portuguese (Brazil) (thanks to GustavoMartins1 / claudiobastos) | UP TO DATE
Hungarian (thanks to hunya) | UP TO DATE
Chinese (Taiwan) (thanks to wjh) | 0.2 beta
Can I send you my calibration_matrix data?
You don't need to do it anymore! Amarullz updated the Aroma Installer and now calibration is not required anymore!:victory:
I want to report a bug! What shall I do?
Try to give me as much information as possible (like gExperience version, device, apps selected, etc). Also you could save the log right after the script finishes. You will see a "Save Log" button on the bottom left hand side.
This is too much for me! Is there a lighter version?
Yes, please see this thread.

I would like to think so, yes. It should work with every device available but right now is a work in progress. I've posted in the Defy subforum as I have a Defy and I can support it. You can try and let me know how it goes! (Please do a backup first).

Just updated the OP with this info:
Can I send you my calibration_matrix data?
Yes please. I will add it to the installer so you don't have to calibrate Aroma installer every time! Just download calibration.zip and then install it via CWM like any other script (Press Power button on first dialog to select no). After finishing the new data will be written to calibration.zip. Send it to me and let me know which device are you using! YOUR SYSTEM WILL NOT BE MODIFIED. IT WILL ONLY GET YOUR CALIBRATION DATA AND FINISH

Where is it located? Can't find it in sdcard nor system.

New version 0.2 beta is up! Now you don't need calibration anymore! Also added a few more translations (thanks to all that contributed) and fixed a few bugs! Check OP for download link.
Hi and GG it looks so cool, but why not include ALL gaaps and during installation tick what you want/don't want ?
thanks

XPrivacy
After weeks of research, development and testing I proudly present the ultimate, yet easy to use, privacy manager: XPrivacy.
XPrivacy can prevent applications from leaking privacy sensitive data. XPrivacy can restrict the categories of data an application can access. This is done by feeding an application with no or fake data. There are several data categories which can be restricted, for example contacts or location. For example, if you restrict access to contacts for an application, this will result in sending an empty contact list to the application. Similarly, restricting an application's access to your location will result in a set location being sent to the application.
You can use the successor XPrivacyLua on Android 6.0 Marshmallow and later.
Features
Simple to use
No need to patch anything (no source, no smali or anything else)
For any (stock) variant of Android version 4.0.3 - 6.0.1 (ICS, JellyBean, Lollipop, Marshmallow)
Newly installed applications are restricted by default
Displays data actually used by an application
Option to restrict on demand
Free and open source
Free from advertisements

You can also use the XPrivacy Installer as an aid to install XPrivacy.
This forum is for questions only. See here for bug reports and feature requests.
Please post messages related to privacy only.
XPrivacy is not intended to make other application do things they are not supposed to do.
There is only support for the latest official XPrivacy version.
XPrivacy was a lot of work, so please support this project
If you want to donate, see here for all options.
Use at your own risk !
The latest version from a while ago still works properly up to Android 6 Marshmallow, if Xposed works properly on your device
(you can ignore any internal error report of XPrivacy, since these are known to be harmless)

Please report about your experiences.
Contributions are more than welcome to make it a better mod.
Thanks a lot. I always missed PDroid as i am on stock Samsung ROM.
BTW, the patches also work on Stock Rom ? ie : even if i don't use CM10, i need to install the CM10_4.1 patch isn't it ?
Tanks again
Looks awesome.

Im using this since version 0.3 and think it is really a great Mod!
Thank you very much for your hard work!
I'd really like to contribute, but since I'm pretty limited in terms of coding the only thing I can offer is to translate Xprivacy to German if you like.
I already got some experience in app translating (though it has been some time since then), so just PM me, if you want me to translate it

So If I'm on a sense based 4.2.2 rom I also need to install the CM 4.2 fix? (just installed the latest version of Xprivacy .11)
the app has improved greatly, its very usable now.
some suggestions/details:
app/usability:
1. the app is usable when it is not enabled, there should be a check on app launch if it is enabled in xposed.
2. some sort of loading indicator instead of just directly jumping into the batch edit category after a wait.
3. search for apps.
4. app filtering
2,3,4 are already implemented in xposed app settings, perhaps you could look at that code.
ui stuff:
1. all the activities except the main one should have menu items and the navigation action http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/actionbar.html#Home
2. the blocked apps/ apps with the particular permission should be sorted above the rest.
i'd say blocked apps->apps with permission but not blocked-> rest of them
3. scroll bar in batch edit
4. action bar spinners or a viewpager like the xposed app separating the batch edit and the list of all apps. (AB spinners would save space though)
these are suggestions, i love the app as it is,

First the most obvious: did you reboot? did you enable XPrivacy in the Xposed installer?
Which ROM do you use?
Do you see orange triangles if you start XPrivacy and browse apps?

Yes, I rebooted twice. I'm on TrickDroid 4.2.2 (sense based) on the HTC One. I do see the orange triangle on some apps when I open up Xprivacy but not on all (going into the different categories)
a have a request. The application is really great, but I would much rather like to get notification(and then I can open XPrivacy by just clicking on it) when new application is installed instead of just popping up. I hope you understand me

If you see orange triangles XPrivacy is in any case working.
Maybe your settings layout is different, so that XPrivacy cannot hook into it.
This is not a big problem, because you can access all settings from the app too.
You can do me a pleasure by sending a logcat, starting from the moment your device boots, so I may be able to figure out why this (not) happens.

Could you please create issues for these, so I can easily track things?
Loading apps in an async task + spinner has already been realized (will be in version 0.12).
App Data Manage Tool is a tool for Windows 10 Mobile devices to create backups from current state of apps and games, and restore them at a later time, or to another phone, or to your phone after a factory reset.
Although Microsoft introduced some APIs to backup apps into OneDrive, many apps still don't use it (Hill Climb Racing, WhatsApp, are you listening? )
This tool helps you to create local backup archives from any of your apps and games; then you can copy them to your PC and then to any phone so you can restore that archive.
Additionally, you can reset the state of apps, which is almost the same as reinstalling them, but is faster and also it can be done on some system apps (which you can't reinstall them)
Your phone must be interop unlocked. Here's a quick how to (for Lumias except x50 series):
Download Interop Tools by Gustave M. (ARM version) and its Dependencies from here and copy them to your phone.
Set your phone to Developer Mode (from Settings, Update & security, For Developers)
Tap on each of Dependencies from File Explorer, then tap on Interop Tools appx.
Open Interop Tools from app list, go to "Interop Unlock", tap on "Restore NDTKSvc" and then reboot your phone.
Open Interop Tools again and go to "Interop Unlock", now tap on "Interop/Cap unlock".
(For x50 series and non-Lumia phones, the steps might be different. search for it)
After you Interop Unlocked your phone, installing App Data Manage Tool is easy.
Just get it from the download link below, extract the ZIP and copy its contents to your phone, and tap on the appx from File Explorer to install. (you might need to install Dependencies first)
Download App Data Manage Tool Beta
See and contribute to the source code on GitHub
The interface is easy to use, look yourself

Can't backup old apps (xap) games like :ac pirates, bridge contructor etc
Thanks for this, unfortunately I think I can't test this on my Lumia 650, because of limitations ?, but if I find a way I'll let you know.
Greetz,
What about restoring backup after when new verion of an APP has been updated during the cold start up?
How about reinstall all old apps after hardreset?

Hmm, seems like can find 8.1 XAPs (Silverlight apps), but not 8 XAPs. I'll take a look to see if I can figure out a way to back up those apps too.

I tried but failed to register packages from installed files. For now you can install apps from Store after hard reset, and then restore their data using this app.
I mean, launch ms-windows-store://navigatetopage/?Id=Apps, where apps are those with backupped data.
thank for this i will to try it

Is that app (xodo doc) installed on SD card? or internal storage? What's your phone model?
just tried it with one app, works fine. gonna add this to my tools. thx
any chance that the app list gets saved? and maybe lets say it searches only every few days again completely (and ofc with a manual button)?
Please

its a 925, so no sd card and tried 'reset app' even on note+ but that also started crashing i.e not opening at all but when i restored the backup (did it earlier) note+ was working as expected.Guess something is wrong with 'reset app' mechanism
this based off appdata manager from wolf for wp8.1? or better support /capabilites. anyway to use the back ups from that app on this one?
congratulation !
one word:
congratulation !
waiting this exploit to my 950 (interop unlockable ?)

I can not Root my NOKIA 2 (Nougat/Oreo) ... :crying:
So, I use some trick...
It,s a few helpful for Nougat Rom & very few to Oreo Beta...
Oreo Beta Update have many Bugs...
In Nougat Rom : I have disable some System App and remove Useless Apps... I have try to remove system apps with ADB command but not success... So, just disable those apps and clear data... Next: I use Greenify to hibernate background apps and use some buildin settings on NOKIA 2
Disable these System Apps,
1. Google App (Google Search, it always run in Background)
2. Keyboard ( Keep Only one, which you use... I Use Ridmik Keyboard, so when i make ridmik my default keyboard then i can disable other keyboard)
3. Chrome (Chrome work always, but it's maybe not background free... So, we can use Google web view instead of Chrome... Just disable chrome and then you can update Webview... Now you need a browser, so install Chrome Dev... Its fast I think)
4. TalkBack ( Maybe its not needed to us)
5. Cloud Print (I have disable it, but your wish)
6. For Oreo: You can not disable all keyboard on Oreo, but can force stop those with Greenify... And try to force stop feedback app... If you have some problem like 'Emergency service not available' you need to clear data of phone service app
★Turn on Developer option & set background process limit almost 4

Greenify, :fingers-crossed:
Always the Best App... Use it... Give ADB Commant for Aggressive Doze, Wake-up Tracking & Cut-off... (In Oreo you Can force stop apps to be Background free by Greenify with ADB Command)... Give permission for Grenifying system apps... Its need Donation pack
