Nice to see a fellow Portuguese contributing to the POCO X3 scene.

My dev days ended a couple of years ago, but I'm still very much into the scene.

Drop me a DM if you want and we can exchange notes or something.

I got the X3 as well.

Best regards,

Bruno.

If you unninstall mi video you cannot see videos from gallery is there a way to unninstall the app while being able to see the videos on your phone?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
Keep mi video.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Kikop:
And the share me app how do we unninstall it?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Kikop:
I unninstalled some apps and it didnt seem to have any impact in the available space of the phone

Is it normal?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
Yes.

Available space does not count system space.

System space is fixed, even when not used.

Uninstalling system apps does not open available space on data storage.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Kikop:
So if i unninstall some apps the 49gb/64gb will stay the same?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
If those some apps are system apps, yes.

I suggest you to disable only system apps.

So, easily.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] jurben:
Thanks.

Would be better if include command to reinstall

adb shell cmd package install-existing <package_name>
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
You can't overwrite system apps.

They will be updated but installed on data storage.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] jurben:
As we can read in Method#2 we can uninstall system apps from user 0. If the phone error after this action we can reinstall the app by

adb shell cmd package install-existing <package_name>

hey, i have a poco x3 pro but basically the same software...

if i disable the stock launcher i can't access recents menu, is there a way to fix this without root?

i don't like the stock miui recents anyways but don't knnow how to add something like quickstep(aosp) or if its possible...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] xFilthyxJesusx:
You need to keep Poco Launcher installed for recents. I ran into the same issue. Someone said this was because of how Android 11 handles the recents menu, you need stock launcher now
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] xFilthyxJesusx:
That "uninstall" is a disable. Not a true uninstall
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Arkon1337:
After months of uninstalling, I looked at the storage space.

I then wondered why Others was taking up 6.91 GB.

Then I remembered that you don't delete the apps, you just uninstall them. The APK are all still there.

Is there a way to delete the unnecessary apps completely?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] xFilthyxJesusx:
Root your phone, and delete from System partition. But you run the risk of having issues as other apps might rely on the apps you remove. Some functions are interlinked between apps. It's definitely best to leave them in the system partition unless you want to spend lots of trial and error. You might remove an Apk file and all is fine. Then later on, something seemingly unrelated does not function as expected.

Root and replace your ROM with a debloated version for best results IMO
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] jurben:
Not true uninstall. Right. The apk is still there in the system.

Is a disable. Wrong.

User 0 still can see the app in the app list if we disable the app. He/she can then enable it if he/she want to.

User 0 cannot see the app in the app list if we uninstall the app from user 0. We must use adb to reinstall the app if we want to use the app.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] CSouthwick:
Earlier someone asked, why not just install a custom ROM? I'm asking myself that question. Not sure where to ask but I need the phone to pass safetynet and so I am cautious. I realize installing a custom ROM is at my own risk, but anyone have thoughts on debloating vs ROM?

This phone would do really well on Pixel Experience

If you want to run adb, just download "adb.rar" archive from THIS thread - it works by default just on W10 (at least for me).

If you want to run it on W7 as well, yet replace the original "cmd" .exe file with the one from your system.

path: C:\Windows\System32\ -> "cmd" .exe

Anyone know how to remove apps on Dual Apps? Here what happens: I removed Chrome, but when I turn on Duall Apps, some links on dual apps when touching open dual Chrome. This dual Chrome doesn't appear anywhere, not in apps list, not in setting, so I don't know how to get rid of it too. Same thing happens to some other Google apps, they appear as dual apps.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] kRA!Z3E:
I accidentially removed these two...

when launching

pm install --user 0 com.google.android.gms

or

pm install --user 0 com.xiaomi.misettings

via adb, I get:

Error: Unable to open file: com.google.android.gms
Consider using a file under /data/local/tmp/
Error: Can't open file: com.google.android.gms

is there a simple way to get this fixed??

Are the removed apps gone already? I did a restart :/

Edit: and if they're gone already, where can I get these?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] ho4xi3:
Have you tried using the UAD? Maybe you can restore those apps with it.

It's good because it doesn't require root...

However, it is possible that you lost these apps forever since you did not back them up.

Any help appreciated :)

Update: tried to root the device, but since I removed mi-account package I'm not able to unlock the bootloader to root the phone, it seems... this screws me hard at the moment, because I don't find any solution to make fastboot working to get the files installed on my phone...

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Xfirstname:
Facebook is obviously one of the biggest piece of bloat of the modern internet, many people tend to prefer mainly using free and open source software, unfortunately it's quite hard to do that on Mobile until GNU/Linux phones become fully capable ( I mean it could be ok but nowadays even for paying you sometimes need some validation through Android/ios app )

Despite being heavily bloated Xiaomi smartphones are quite good for us because easy to debloat + unlockable bootloader and many custom roms to get rid of bloat and maybe also everything related to Google for certain people.

It's a shame that proprietary *** like netflix chrome and Facebook can't be uninstalled, I can be ok with that on a 200€ device and do stuff myself to clean my device but I'm pretty sure it's the same with Mi phones at 700+€.

Edit : BTW I juste uninstalled bloat with adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 <app_name> through terminal on Archlinux and it worked fine. To be honest I did it without checking the safe list before and it seem to be ok, I think I got lucky :D
