Hi everyone,

I just tried to uninstall the bloatware. Looking to the list i choosed the apps to remove. After uninstalling WLAN is not working anymore. Networks could still be found, but i can't connect. I have reinstalled all the apps i just removed, but WLAN still doesn't work.

What to do now?? Can I flash stock rom?

Thx.

Try "XiaomiADBFastbootTools.jar". There is also poosibility to reinstal unintaled apps.

can you also look at my problems?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] J-Mizzle:
Can you debloat without having root? Has anybody tried removing all Google apps, including the Play store? Normally I unlock my bootloaders and run AOSP builds without gapps and use F-Droid but you have to use Windows to unlock the POCO X3 NFC and I do not have a Windows installation. Tried a VM and passing the USB connection thru but my system is to poorly spec'd to run it.

EDIT: another question, is it possible to use adb to install F-Droid privileged extension as a system app without root?

Looking forward to answers on these questions.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] lebigmac:
Lol I've simply used my new script to make my Android 10+ system read-write-able and then I completely deleted these annoying bloatware apps from my internal hard drive. At first I thought this solved the problem but it will cause bootloop. To fix the bootloop simply restore original FindDevice app in /system/priv-app

What do we learn from this? Always make a backup before you permanently delete a system app! You never know which one is going to cause a bootloop!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] :
i've removed all thats safe to , including com.miui.gallery .. but its still on the phone and not appearing in XiaomiADBFastbootTools removal list either .

anyone else had the same result ?

maybe try HirensbootCD PE (its a fan project for a the old hirens, basically a Windows 10 live CD/USB) all you need is a flash disk, I know the nightmares of passing USB through a VM
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] J-Mizzle:
Never heard of it. I'll check it out. I just order double the ram and an ssd to throw into this system so I may have better luck with a VM on my next try.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] ven1x:
It's a different dev (a "fanproject" to quote them). Still having a Current Windows 10 live environment for Windows is handy in cases like this.

And SSD makes a bigger difference than Ram, you can easily get away with 4gb ram especially dual channel. 8gb is plenty with an SSD
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] :
you probably removed something important . id try a full reset and see what happens
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] alexon.cunha:
Go backa few pages, there is a procedure to install back all the apps:

pm install-existing "package name"

Do this to all the apps in the bloatware list and reboot. After that, if you still get this error msg, then restore to factory, unfortunatelly.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] lebigmac:
Did anyone figure out yet how to permanently disable FindDevice app or MiService or SecurityCenter?

Even with fully read-write-able system it's nearly impossible to deactivate this stubborn bloatware.

I did a little bit of research and inside classes.dex of /system/framework/services.jar

I found this:

com/android/server/am/FindDeviceAliveChecker

It looks like this function constantly checks if FindDevice is still running and if not it will cause bootloop...

@brigudav instead of torturing my script and deleting the comments section and hacking my update-binary and replacing my program title with your own made-up meaningless bogus program title (!!!) how about using your hacking skills for something useful for once and actually help figure out how to deactivate this stubborn bloatware? Thanks.

Don't make my mistakes

My phone was blocked after I setting up my MI Account at the first launch and remove bloatware after : when I restarted the phone a message displayed that my phone was blocked and need connect to MI Account to unlocked. BUT it couldn't connect to MI server because I had uninstalled some MI applications

Also now I can't unlock bootloader because It need a MI Account but I can't configure it, and I can't reinstall necessary MI Applications

Before, I had a Nokia 7 plus with Android One, this version of Android is really better, no unecessary app (but the USB C connector of the Nokia 7 Plus is a ****)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Yeah that happens when you remove one certain piece of Xiaomi software , can't remember which one though . I think you'll have to send it to a service centre to get it reset unfortunately
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] pnin:
Try to factory reset the device. Unless you set your system partition Read/Write, nothing is ever fully removed, just disabled.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] kd276:
Is this method valid also for Poco X3 Pro? Seems they share the same apps.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] pnin:
You can always test it, no ill will come of it that a factory reset won't fix -- but better seek advice among owners of similar devices (https://xdaforums.com/f/12163/).

This scary me, my phone will arrive in 3-4 days, i bought it directly from MI store of my country, is not a good idea to broke it, i need to be 100% sure before remove some apps. :D

Thank you, so these are 100% safe to remove? You remove them completely via ADB command or in your opinione is better to unistall via manufacfturer interface from the settings menù?

I ask because i'm super scary to install a custom rom, the procedure to unlock the bootloader is easy but the rest is a true nightmare and very complicated and since i'm not experienced i will without any doubts mess up and broke my phone. :D
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] pnin:
If you get "Developer options" and "USB debug" (plus appropriate permissions), you're able to debloat through ADB without further ado.

As the system partition remains read-only, no app is permanently erased, only disabled for the active main user ('user 0').

Here's my own reference list, ordered on app ID+Label(ish...): (NOT every one safe! List also at https://rentry.co/px3bloat)

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] kd276:
Thank you for the list, so all these apps are ok to be 100% disabled right? You already tested it.

Monday my device arrive but before i unlock the bootloader i need to wait a whole week, so in the meantime i need to save my internet gigs since i do have a limit of 5 gig/month. Such bloatware is known to connect to internet automatically and share data in background.

In your opinion should i use the inbuild miui app menù do disable them or is better to use adb commands? Or both method are the same?

In a week i will anyway erase the stock os and install a custom rom.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] sebflex:
I just used ADB Control for that, so just set debugging and thats it.

Why would you even use the MI account at all? :o
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] pnin:
NO, like I said above "NOT every one safe!", so proceed with caution. :eek:

This isn't because most changes can't be easily reversed by a factory reset but lest you find yourself in a situation were you need a key to open the locker that holds that key, so to speak -- as @seb49 above and plenty of others have reported in this forum.

Because you can't unlock the device without one in the first place? :unsure:

I used ADB App Control to run this command on firmware V4

pm uninstall --user 0 com.mi.android.globallauncher

I then attempted to use

pm install --user 0 com.mi.android.globallauncher

to reinstall Poco Launcher.

Unfortunately this did not work.

Does anyone happen to know the package name on the newest firmware? (Poco X3 Suyra V12.0.8.0.RJGEUXM)

Or can I just goto the Play Store and grab the Poco Launcher from there? It wouldn't be a system app, so Idk if that would fix the recent apps issue? I notice the package name is the same as listed above.

SOLUTION: For those that also run into the same issue. I found the launcher listed in ADB App Control under the "deleted" section of the applications window. From there I was able to restore the Poco Launcher and the recent apps are back :)

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] QuietZebra:
Hey folks, I live in Canada, but I wanted a Dual-Sim variant of this model so bad. (5G Snapdragon variant). Samsung Canada and BH-Photo are giving a lot of discrepancy information regarding the SM-G780U overall specs.

I don't know if anyone can confirm to me whether SM-G780U or SM-G780F has dual sim? Or if your phone has Dual Sim and is a 5G Snapdragon variant, what model is it?

The Tech Chap from Youtube mentioned in a hands-on video that his 5G SD variant is a dual sim (at 3:10 of the clip), but he never says the model variant :(. No other reviewer mention dual-sim so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] jtOttawa:
I'm in Canada too, and waiting on the dual-SIM variant myself. Dual-SIM models will indicate dual-SIM, and no North American models (e.g., SM-G780U) will be dual-SIM, if past practice is any indication. There is usually a dual-SIM variant of the Global (F) model - but if it's not indicated as dual-SIM, it isn't. I'm actually hopeful that the HK model will be dual-SIM and 256 GB storage, like the HK Note20 Ultra - but time will tell.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] QuietZebra:
Today I discovered that at Amazon Germany and Amazon France, the variant SM-G780F being offered by Amazon seems to have Dual Sim. Samsung UK also offer SM-G780F which is a dual-sim variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] jtOttawa:
Looks like it might not have 256 GB of storage, but it might have 8 GB of RAM (other listings of the S20 FE have been wrong about this as we know, so this will have to be verified). Still, at least it is Snapdragon, 5G and dual-SIM: https://www.wondamobile.com/samsung...0-lte-mobile-phone-sim-free-and-unlocked.html

If 5G is not that important to you, and you don't mind getting the Exynos version, they are available on EBay: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Samsung-Gal...48958b212ec9c7a63aa2|ampid:PL_CLK|clp:2334524
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] QuietZebra:
Unfortunately, the whole point of me getting a Samsung S20 FE was to get Snapdragon with Dual Sim. For the entire S20 and Note 20 Samsung line, only HK edition has SD and Dual Sim. I'm still waiting for confirmation but it seems SM-G781B is also a dual Sim variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] jtOttawa:
Why unfortunately? It sounds like the HK version is the way to go - in fact, I had ordered a HK Note20 Ultra but cancelled it as I couldn't justify the price (and that price continues to drop).

Yes, it has a hybrid SIM tray that takes two nano SIMs or one nano SIM and a micro SD card. 5G works on either card.

First i think the problem was the cord I was using, the flash would just hang, it would send to the phone but not write to the partition. The only way to stop it was to restart the bootloader but I dont know if I corupted something. Now when I try to flash anything patched image or vanilla it wont work the patched version gives me the error above, and the vanilla install from the manufacturer just hangs when it tries to check the version.

Hi,

I own this phone fo 2 weeks now. Based on my previous experience with smartphones and pda phones, there is one strange thing I do not understand.

Over the signal strength bars in the upper right corned of the screen, the symbol of an aerial is shown on my other devices if the gprs/edge is not active (e.g. mail reception/sending). On this device the "E" symbol is shown there continuously (in addition to the big "E" in the middle of the upper bar, which shows the edge availability according to the manual), and this means that the edge connection is active (see manual). However, it is not active, because on the Comms manager screen the data connection icon (No.6) is inactive. If I receive e-mails and use the edge function, this icon is active, ans it is possible to turn off the data connection. If I turn off the data connection after receiving my mails, the aerial appears in the corner for a short time (some minutes), but then changes back automatically to "E".

Does this mean that somehow there is an automatic data connection somehow? I can receive phone calls without any problems, and I use the official ROM.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

bf95

It simply means that you have EDGE access over GPRS access.

Hi All,

I am planning on providing Samsung Galaxy stock debloated ROMs for M series FLOSS or GFS version.

Please contact me here for testing purposes and if anyone is interested.

Few added stuffs maybe given as well, depending on the kind of framework changes, as I will avoid any changes, as the FW breaks a lot.

I do not have any phone, hence all testing will be on the testers, so be sure to keep backups in case you agree to test.

Moreover, OTA is not possible and most probably it will be a decrypted OS. You will need good bandwidth and patience to do it.

Everything that you people do on TG can be done here, needs patience, which is all one should always have.

Share this with others, who wants to join. I will try any other series too, but only android 9 and 10 at the moment. Android 11 is not in my list.

M21_Testing_20200929.tar

Have built, and uploading. It is a heavy file, around 4.2 GB (hopefully only one time). Flash with ODIN (in AP). Uncheck auto reboot.

Reboot to stock recovery, format data, mount /system, format data once again, and reboot to DOWNLOAD mode.

Then try each of the following boot methods:

01. Reboot normally (you can keep auto-reboot" checked for this trial) - If fails, try 02..

02. After flashing, reboot to recovery, format data, dalvik/cache, reboot - If fails, try 03..

03. Extract the 3 files, and zip to a .zip extension via 7zip and not WinRAR. Add the META-INF (full folder) folder from the attached zip, to the ROM zip and flash via TWRP (the one available).

-- Unzip the META-INF zip, and unzip the tar file ROM. Copy them all to say desktop and add all 3 files and the META-INF folder to .zip via 7Zip. Resultant file should be a zip file consisting of META-INF folder, boot, system and recovery image (.img) files.

-- The tar file consists of boot.img, recovery.img, system.img. - If fails, try 04..

04. If for any reason you are not able to boot, just replace the boot and recovery with the original/stock boot.img and recovery.img, do not change the system.img I gave. Add all to a tar file (via 7Zip) and flash via ODIN. Please note, do not use any other file. Chances are you will boot.

Please note, booting may take a minimum of 10-15 minutes, so please be patient. Once SAMSUNG logo comes it should ideally boot. I am yet to get a way to make DM-Verity work with ODIN. I will post link of ROM soon.

Ohh, and in between each try, or failures, you may have to format data (may). At times I have seen for any reason if it fails, clearing or formatting data is needed which is odd on M series, but not always. Probably, trial error mode, but I do recall.

Also, in the 4th option, if you boot with stock boot and recovery, you will not be rooted. I will try and add root to the system, but cannot guarantee as of yet.

Have built few testing TWRP's. Try them out and let me know what works, what not please.

1. TWRP+Mod - This is a modified version of what I wanted to build out of TWRP. This consists of that old TWRP, but modified to suit the latest builds. - Link

2. TWRP+Stock - This has stock features enabled. Should be good to go anyways. - Link

3. TWRP+vdbhb59 - This I have modified in many many ways, so should be good to go as well. - Link

4. TWRP_20201001_Test - Image/Tar - This I have made from scratch. If you say this one works, then I will load this as Unofficial (until TWRP accepts it) as Android 10 working.

In each let me know, what is working, and what is not.

You should be able to flash DM-Verity through these, post you install the OS I gave. File attached (do not rename the file).
