[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] TeoXSD:
Good, you made some interesting points, but also, some bad points as well... And I'll give you this one, you are right on the part that android devices are sold with the lie that it's a reliable OS that's going to run well and dandy, but after 2 years they silently kill the device by increasing hardware improvements and decreasing overall experience... Wew, where did I see that before, isn't Google's slave companies actually buying the biggest mistake from Apple? At least Apple went back on it's feet and it's not doing it anymore.

"I'll be very happy with Pico Gapps instead of full."

Uhh, many of us are... I really hate most of the apps in the Google suite that comes preinstalled on this device... until now OEM solutions were always much better than the full suite, but guess what, that's the price for Android Stock... you know, full android experience isn't complete without those... and you should know that, it's the price that you pay for Pure. That's what Pure means, at least in official Google terms.

"I am not using some functionalities. Like Managed-Provision app its for Enterprise users not for me!"

Except it's a little weird, you were actually complimenting the device in your other thread over it being part not only from Android One, but also their Enterprise program. I guess now, that's a new price we have to pay...

"Bloatware removing or tweaking os or custom roms trying to break that chain. You know what: it helps to improve performance."

This argument has a lot of sense, but... here is were you go wrong unfortunately. Indeed, removing stuff that's targeted to a separate audience, and slimming down the OS indeed has an impact on performance, as long as you're doing it on a vendor OS. That indeed, I won't argue, because I'd be a total jackass to do so, but on custom ROMS that's a totally different story. While Android OS is open source and it's developer friendly, custom drivers/controllers/services are never open source... I develop a lot for Mediatek devices and trust me, those are a god damn pain, I can't imagine Qualcomm being any different... you know, being so desperate for feedback and all that and having even proprietary services running the device... and that's why... as much as anyone tries get the full vendor experience out of a custom ROM, you win some, you lose some, as for the vendor case (well not our case at the moment) the device always works as intended.

"What you dont understand is: Not all of them is required."

And what you don't understand is that this device is not a device made for you specifically. They included everything for everyone. That's what most people problem is, you think that when you buy something, that something is build/made specifically for you... unfortunately that's not the case, not in Android's universe. You are stuck with whatever the OEM is giving you as "system". And this is another fact that leads me to my conclusion... Android tried to copy Apple too much, and is still not waking up... Apple now even lets you uninstall preinstalled Apple apps, Google doesn't, you can barely disable them in setting, that only if the OEM vendor allows you to do so (because I found apps that aren't allowed to be disabled). Which of course sucks hard... But that's what we get, a crippled Apple copy, butchered by OEMS and we pay money not for what we need, but for what they give us.

Android LMK or by it's official name (lmkd) is developer programmable. Look it up, you get how to use it, and it's dependent on how Xiaomi or Qualcomm program it, what does have to do with the list of apps you posted? That again proves my point, bad, extremely bad programming on the side of the developer... and possibly memory leaks from system apps.

"Conclusion is this: I cant increase the hardware, but i can lower the hardware requirements. Thats another fact/base whatever you call. "

Good conclusion, but this conclusion has nothing to do with what you wrote in OP. Ok, look here, like I said, you are in fact right about what you say, but... out of those 212 apps you posted, how many are actually running in memory, on auto-mode? How many are user related? How many are just there as "file and forget"? From all these questions you need only the first one answered, because the rest don't concern performance on the device. To affect the performance, one application must first be in use of system resources to actually count as a performance decrease. In .04 build, Android System, or Android OS or however it's called has a memory leak, a memory leak that's probably triggering lmkd a lot faster than normal. The second memory leak may be in my personal case Android System View... And that explains a lot about how the developers optimized the OS... sloppy, without any care, just another update on the list, absolutely no testing... just throw the update out and see what sticks, let the people write problems for us. Also the lmkd trigger could just be badly optimized... Didn't look into it that far, I don't actually want to touch the OS on this device, I have my "device toys" and this is not one of them.

So, as your conclusion was actually good, but it didn't stick to OP. For an app to be bloatware it has to be 3rd party useless, and it must also consume system resources... What you need is slimming down the OS. In this case the problem is the Android One program first... those apps are supposed to be in the Android One whether you like it or not... I also didn't know it until I looked into it, unfortunately... Or else I would've gone for MIUI without any doubts. Also, many of those apps, actually a lot of them are actually dormant, they're simply there for maybe future implementations, the fact is that they don't run at all... This is just another bad update... a bad update that's here for almost 2 months now. All we can do is hope that they will actually get this right in the next 1 year and leave our device alone. I really, really like the hardware (sorry for your OV sensor) but the software and support is horrendous.
