-- new and updated version on "MIUI9 - Removing Bloatware - 98 apps removed !!!"

This script is created for and tested on Redmi 3s Prime ( Global Stable/Beta Rom) but should be fine for Redmi 3s as well.

Use it at your own risk for other Xiaomi Devices.

Prerequisites & Warnings :

********************************************************************************

1. Should have MIUI9 or MIUI8 or MIUI7 rom on Redmi 3S.

2. Should have TWRP installed. (tested on latest 3.1.1 official TWRP)

3. Should have,

a. Nova launcher or any other custom launcher installed. ( System launcher removed in script )

b. Have any keyboard from play store installed and set. ( I use Google Keyboard. Stock keyboards are removed.)​

4. Create a backup of existing rom.

5. DO NOT FLASH before doing initial setup after clean flash of any new rom. Have atleast one clean reboot before using this.

Few apps which required for one time device setup are removed in this.

6. You CANNOT FACTORY RESET after this.

If you want to do factory reset -

a. Flash full-rom package ( which is named like "miui_HM3SGlobal_7.9.15_08a8541c78_6.0.zip" this) and then do factory reset.

b. Do initial setup again and reboot.

c. install a launcher and a keyboard. Set the keyboard.

d. flash debloater file ( in attachment) again.​

How to Customize for your usage,

********************************************************************************

1. Unzip the attached ZIP file.

2. Locate updater-script file under ".\META-INF\com\google\android" directory.

3. Open with text editor.

4. Put "#" at the start of the app you want to keep.

e.g. You want the system launcher then edit line containing

"delete_recursive("/system/priv-app/MiuiHome");" and replace with

"# delete_recursive("/system/priv-app/MiuiHome");".

To make it easier, I have added comments to locate the apps easily.
​

5. Save your changes and zip the "META-INF" again.
