Why would device go in bootloop? Find device is offered from google as well, no?

The package name is com.xiaomi.finddevice. I think this is the other end of Find Device functionality where device reports its location, and the 'Find device' from google is the UI showing the location when needed.

Even in this thread there are posts saying it (com.xiaomi.finddevice) will cause bootloop if disabled.

BTW - how did you disabled it?

I disabled it via adb (pm uninstall). After constant ticker message, I re-enabled it, but apparently that wasn't enough. It went well for few weeks, but since past week it kept device awake all time. Then two days ago device started rebooting after every 5 minutes or so. Not sure if its related to that, but I'm taking much more conservative approach in disabling packages now.

On a Redmi Note 10 Pro I've uninstalled nearly everything related to Xiaomi and Miui, except these:

1. Warnings that removing them might soft brick
   com.miui.securitycenter
   com.miui.securityadd
   com.xiaomi.finddevice
   com.miui.securitycore

2. No idea what these do and couldn't find any info on google
   com.miui.core
   com.miui.rom
   com.miui.system
   com.lbe.security.miui

3. Functionality I wannt to keep
   com.xiaomi.xmsf
   com.xiaomi.bsp.gps.nps
   com.miui.screenshot
   com.miui.aod
   com.miui.cit
   com.xiaomi.cameratools
   com.miui.extraphoto

Note com.miui.aod is supposed to be related the always on display. However, while I can still change the settings for AOD, the actually functionality has gone. EDIT: actually after a restart it seems to be fine.

Using it for a couple of days now. Everything seems to be working ok with some minor exceptions:

1. wallpapers have stopped working (I don't mind about this)
2. the status bar now goes beyond the curved screen edges so the clock is partly cut off
3. The "recent apps" AKA "recents screen" functionality is now gone - in other words, when (long) pressing the menu button, nothing happens
4. A lot of the removed functionality is still in the settings, but changing the settings does nothing (e.g. wallpaper, themes)

I used .\adb.exe shell pm uninstall --user 0 to remove all the apps. I think it failed for a couple but I ignored those.

BTW to list all packages use:

1. adb shell pm list packages for currently installed
2. adb shell pm list packages -d include disabled
3. adb shell pm list packages -u include uninstalled

Some other useful commands from here:

# Disable app
pm disable-user app.package.name
# Re-enable it
pm enable app.package.name

# Uninstall app
# Sometimes uninstall command may not work without -k option on un-rooted devices
# -k: Keep the data and cache directories around after package removal. 
pm uninstall --user 0 app.package.name
# Install uninstalled system app
pm install --user 0 $(pm dump app.package.name | awk '/path/{ print $2 }')
# Another way to install uninstalled system app
pm install-existing app.package.name

Warning: don't remove com.miui.home without installing another launcher first as your phone won't have a launcher!
I use Niagara launcher so removing this didn't cause any issues.

Doing a bit more research into why the recents screen is not working - it seems like removing the launcher com.miui.home may have removed it.
However, it seems like MIUI doesn't allow third party launchers to control the recents screen so removing the MIUI launcher removes this functionality.

Hi. Using the listed packages above as a guide, I removed all these packages given below; and now I can no longer change ringtones on my Poco X3 Pro. Which one(s) do I reinstall to be able to do so?

@AA-Saf

Have you rebooted ur phone? Is same issue happening after reboot?

I would give packages with name global in them a try to install. All other looks ok to kick out.

@Cloud-Mak

Yep, did that the first thing.

I re-enabled "com.mi.android.globallauncher" as without it the recent apps drawer wasn't working.

Tried re-enabling other global packages, and it's still not working. 😔
