[LG Watch Sport] afblangley:
My GV number is the only number that I know, carrier assigned numbers are meaningless. So I understand where you're coming from. I'm not a tech head so I can't explain it any better than to say the GV app is basically a script. When you select a contact's number, the GV app steps in and dials the assigned alias number for that contact. Ditto with messaging, if the GV app isn't configured properly (to use your native messaging app), your carrier number will be revealed.

On devices that don't have a GV app, it must be done manually. Unless there's a GV app for Android Wear or the AW version of Hangouts can make calls, the process will be the same. I've never laid hands on the LG watch, so I can't speak specifically about it. Since very few folks have the Sport, it might be helpful to post on the LG U2 forum, should be a couple of GV users there.

The manual process sounds more tedious than it actually is. Realize that it only applies to communications that: 1) you initiate and 2) from the watch and 3) in standalone mode. All incoming calls and texts can be received and replied to without the alias number. When the watch is connected via BT, its basically a remote control, outgoing calls go through the phone, so the GV app is used. Texting is a bit more complicated. There is no Hangouts app for Tizen, so you can reply but not initiate. Texts can be placed with the Tizen messaging app, but again, if the alias number isn't used, the watch number will be revealed.

When its filtered down, out of the few hundred contacts you may have listed in your Google account, there are probably only a couple of dozen numbers that you need to capture. The first time you dial a new number on a phone associated with your GV account, the GV app creates an alias number, even if you don't create a new contact. This will need to be manually captured for the watch if future use is desired.

I am happy with the S3 but would switch to AW, if/when it has better integration with GV and better standalone capability than the S3. I don't believe it does at this time. Please let me know if you discover otherwise.
[LG Watch Sport] drjim:
Getting a handle on this

Thanks for the clarification. I'm no techie either! Can you explain what you mean by alias #? And how do you manually capture it?

Much appreciated.
[LG Watch Sport] afblangley:
Though not specific to smartwatches, here's a thread on XDA that discusses this topic in detail. Some folks call it a shadow number.

Does anybody know if the AT T model is locked? (sorry for bad english)
[LG Watch Sport] afblangley:
Locked or unlocked is irrelevant because it has an embedded SIM. No one has reported being able to get another provider to program it, even if on the same network. For example, no has been able to put the AT&T version on Cricket. Or use the T-Mobile version on MetroPCS.
[LG Watch Sport] DM725:
Doesn't the AT&T and Google Play Versions just have a Nano Sim card slot?
[LG Watch Sport] kbboykin:
It does not have an embedded SIM. It has a nano sim and the one of Google Store is unlocked. There are many posts on the internet about using other carriers (TMO, Project Fi) with it. Google is your friend.

Followed this guide here

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

I read the instructions over before doing anything, it said it would touch the system but I didnt know it would lead to a brick. Luckily I did make a backup before proceeding in case something like this does happen but now my phone has this blue screen and says I need to take it to an AT&T store to have it recovered. I would just like to restore my phone and get magisk installed.

Something I dont quite fully understand, is Magisk itself a root solution or something complimentary to a rooting procedure?

Thank you for your time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] themomentandroid:
hi i just read magickroot and some steap are not understand, first if you are root, lets see if a person seek to root then first need to be if you are not root. so magickroot is root, but after that it has super su, lets see if someone super su why he need magickroot and why peoples need to choose magisk from supersu, in manual of magisk dont write if trigger knox. we are on samsung s7 thread so when someone write about samsung s7 developers or programs to write if it trigger or dont trigger knox. so samsung has knox only on samsung then when someone try make program rom and etc. then write if trigger knox.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] RemixDeluxe:
I apologize but I didnt understand a word of what you said.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] themomentandroid:

Unfortunately I got an error (missing files) under TWRP 3.0.2
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zappo:
I'm using TWRP 3.0.2 as well...

Did the install reach the menu at all?

Can you look at the log file to investigate? (TWRP --> Advanced --> Copy Log --> Open log file from your SDCard)
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] luxim:
Here it is. My recovery is the ZCX one and I wasn't able to enter the menu. I'm running the latest xiaomi.eu developer.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zappo:
Thanks for your bug-report and logfile!

It says it couldn't find the script, and after investigating I found the download link to GitHub creates a folder too many inside the zip.

I was hoping to have the available download automatically give the latest version...

I guess I'll have to create a release after every update, and update the link accordingly...

I adjusted the download link in the original post.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] wurstel:
this is great! i made my own debloater script, but your is so much more elegant! i hope things dont change much when we update to 8.2....
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zappo:
I have just released version 0.4, which allows us to create a default UnBloat list.

This can be used to UnBloat again after flashing a new ROM.

(I'm hoping to use this in combination with OTA updates. I'll write a howto if I manage to get this all to work)
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] samurri:
Thanks, i try it...

EDIT: i have removed many apps on my rn3se (kate), wipe davilcache but i've a bootloop :?

Good restore option
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] wurstel:
Hey [MENTION=378915]Zappo[/MENTION], did you already get the update to 8.2? Will you be updating the script for the new miui?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zappo:
I'm running the MIUI Global ROM 8.0.3.0....

As far as I know, no updates yet...

If anyone knows of new or other Bloatware, I'll update the script accordingly.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zappo:
If you have found the app causing your bootloop, please let me know. I'll add it to the risky apps list.

I use the "restore one by one" option, and try to find the problem-app that way...
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] samurri:
Hi.

Big thanks for your hard work. At this moment i have personalized your list but i think that velvet.apk is a possible problem

This "# The file number doesn't have to be in order, but should be unique." is no true otherwise the script does not work well (es.: items 0-1-3-4)
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zappo:
You are both correct and wrong; they don't have to be in order, but do have to be ascending without interruptions (can't have missing numbers)

Ex: items 0-1-3-5-4-2 is OK.

I didn't think it would be a problem, as items don't have to be removed...

I will review your list, and add a comment to velvet.apk when I have the time. (however it didn't cause any problem on my Mi5s)
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] samurri:
Ok, thanks.

Do you know where can i find mi apps description?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zappo:
I've been Googling for those quite a bit...

It's hard to find good descriptions for those.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] samurri:
No sorry, velvet is ok but it's need a litlle of attention.

EDIT: install /system/custom1/custom1.apk is impossible
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] wurstel:
hey [MENTION=378915]Zappo[/MENTION] is this debloat script working for china stable?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zappo:
Yes, it should work for all MIUI 7&8 devices.

If software in the script is not found on your device, it will be automatically skipped.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zappo:
I agree this kind of got lost in the code...

New software is only installed when removing bloatware the first time (or when no backups are found).

It should be automatically installed when choosing "Remove/Restore bloatware" from the first menu.

However when a backup is present on the device (folder "UnBloatMi" by default), this is skipped...

I did this, presuming new software is installed after the first run, and if a backup is already created it doesn't have to be installed again.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] wurstel:
Hey [MENTION=378915]Zappo[/MENTION] , found this project for redmi note 2, and it's so heavily debloated, i haven't seen anything like it.

Anyway here's the link https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-2/development/best-sot-t3434915

[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zappo:
I would need the exact locations and filenames of the apps listed on that page (under "Deleted apps")

It will take some time to add all that stuff, because it's quite a list and I'll need to find the time to do it.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] wurstel:
I extracted the system_new.dat file from the rom, i can send you a txt of the contents if that's any help. (I can't do it now, gotta get home to the pc first)

I think u can add the bloatware list MI remote control, MI browser and all of Google Apps. For me Google Apps is just junk
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] onlyLyon:
I used this script and got a never ending forced close on the gallery app.

I had a twrp full backup, so I returned to it. Only problem - the unbloatMI folder can be renamed, but cannot be deleted now! It keeps reappearing.

What can be done about this?

EDIT: I tried the file manager in TWRP (advanced menu) and thought that by pressing the folder name will lead to an option to delete it (same as deleting a file under TWRPFM) but no such option exists. I then saw that entering the folder in TWRP FM followed by clicking the checkmark on the bottom right opens a menu with an option to delete the folder. Problem solved!
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zappo:
That's because the file permissions are of root user.

You could run the script again, and try to solve your gallery problem, or just to delete the UnBloatMi backup.

You should also be able to edit or remove if your device is rooted.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] DotcomL:
"You can confirm each app, or choose to only confirm the more risky apps."

Which ones are marked as risky in the script?

Also, what is the difference of an app (e.g. Google Drive) being on system vs installed otherwise?

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zappo:
The risky apps have a comment starting with "WARNING", "INFO" or "NOTE".

I'm not sure if there are any benefits to installing in system...

I have never noticed any difference...
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] DotcomL:
Thanks for the info and this awesome script. No need for all this Mi stuff in my opinion. Going to use it as soon as my Mi5s arrives.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] maszeta:
Thanks for the script. However, after using it I had problems using user installed certificates (.pfx and .p12 files) and credential storage. I mainly use it to authenticate me on some websites without using a password (electronic ID certificate. DNI-e)

After restoring "Keychain" it worked again. So, I don't recommend to remove Keychain if you use certificates and trusted credentials.

I made it work on other phones (non-MI) as well after minor modifications. Works like a charm. There are a few additional unnecessary apps in MIUI 9 which aren't listed in 0.4 version. Those need to be added

Can you share the modification , i want to use the script on Vodafone smart 7 ultra .
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] mirfatif:
I don't have Vodafone so I can't tell which apps are bloatware. If you tell, I can modify script for you. It's simple, just editing a text file
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] dire12wolf:
Thank you for your answer ,now i see what is to be done.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] djixon:
valid to miui 9?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] mirfatif:
Yes. In fact to any phone. Just add the path to apps not already listed and review all before removing. I have modified the script to fit my needs :)

Many thanks to [MENTION=378915]Zappo[/MENTION]. Learned a lot from your script
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] unicastbg:
Great script! I was looking for a way to automate bloatware cleanup after every update and there it is! Thank you for that!

The description is a great way of knowing what you're removing, I hope it will be updated regularly.

I only have a small issue with the script - it's too sensitive on the Vol-+ buttons. I had a few cases where pressing the Vol- I got through 2 apps instead of just one. If I press the button very fast, all works ok. Not sure if this can be modified as it might be the way the recovery handles button presses.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zappo:
I'm afraid it's how button presses are handled.

It might be possible to add a delay after each button press, but I currently have no time to try and add this...
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] mirfatif:
I can add delay but I think that won't be of any use. Once key pressed, script will continue, whether delayed or not.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zappo:
I think it should work when the delay is inside the "choose()" function. (Before the $cmd1 and $cmd2 lines)

That's where keypresses are detected and commands are executed.

MIUI 9 Vendor Apps

On RN4 (mido) MIUI 9, there a 401 apk files lying in vendor directory. List is attached. These seem to be region related and network related stuff. Deleting these may cause problem? Or are there chances of being a bloatware among these?

Anyone?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] unicastbg:
Here's my list of deleted apps - just remove the file extension. I was unable to upload the file without extension.

Hope we can keep this up to date.

I'm afraid to delete a few apks as my phone might boot loop. But with combined efforts we should be able to find the ones safe to remove.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] hpto:
Very nice job!

Pls, include Google Duo from latest MIUI 9 Global Stable in removal list. Tks a lot!

EDIT:

Would be nice if you include miBrowser for removal.

I really don't want to see this project die, so I'll soon share my version of the file for MIUI 8, 9 and 10. Of course all credits remain to Zappo.

I also found other similar projects for debloating the rom but they seem too violent to me - some of the removed apps should cause force closures.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] unicastbg:
Here's the edited file. It doesn't delete everything on MIUI 10, but removes much more than the original.

What I did was to add newer locations of the apks and made sure you have a choice to remove them or not.

Using this file has caused 0 FCs for me for a few months.

I'll soon play with the new apks in MIUI 10 and remove the safe ones.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Themes, Apps, and Mods] unicastbg:
Hello everyone. Here's my next edited version of the file. Now it removes some new apks coming with MIUI 10 like facebook-installer.apk, facebook-appmanager, IdMipay, InMiPay, MiRecycle, MiCloudSync and a few more. Of course you have a choice whether to remove them or not.

I've kept the filename the same, the only difference you see is when you start the script:

Hi guys, here's another update that reflects on the not that recent, but still latest MIUI 10 8.11.15 version. I found the Facebook App Manager has come back in a different folder.

There's also a choice to remove or not the MIUI Quick Apps. I don't use them, if you do, you can just skip that one.

And finally there's one app which's name is in Chinese, the location is in /data/app/com.xiaomi.jr.security-1. Strangely I have two Mi 5s phones, one has it, the other doesn't. So either I've missed it in the past or I've somehow installed it.

Removing it has so far no effect on normal functions.

If you want to have a specific app included in the list, please let me know. Also if you've found other bloatware, do share and I'll include it in the list. But first I'll check if it will give bootloop :)

Probably the last update. MIUI 10 Dev Global is stopped from Xiaomi.

I switched to Xiaomi.eu builds. These were good until an update about 2 weeks ago. Now the camera takes about 4 seconds to show anything. Going into camera settings also takes a few seconds delay.

Got pissed off and switched to Lineage OS. But before that I checked some apps in Xiaomi.eu and added them to the list.

These are Gboard - Google's keyboard, Files - MIUI's file explorer, Mi Video - video player and Mi Wallpaper Carousel.
