I have removed the following 36 apps from my phone. I have no bootloops whatsoever, no problems with battery drain and basically all Chinese apps are gone.

These apps were all on my brand new Chinese Xiaomi 13 Ultra

I have also disabled the following apps which could not be removed:

# Preset created in ADB AppControl 1.8.0.2
# Total applications: 2
# 2023-06-03_13:03:30
# Xiaomi 2304FPN6DC Disabled applications

com.android.email
com.duokan.reader

I realise there are still tons of apps I can remove or disable but at this stage I really don't mind having some apps in the background running. It's mostly the junk apps or apps entirely in Chinese which I have no interest in having on my phone (except the Xiaomi app store which is necessary for updating system apps). I also want the ability to be able to cast my phone to my TV etc. as well so some apps I absolutely won't remove.

I'm using a PiHole and there's still quite a bit of telemetry being sent back from my phone even with all these uninstalled or disabled. I'm guessing that's baked into the system and there's little if anything I can do about it except to keep blocking it.

I'm not sure if all of these are from my Xiaomi phone but I haven't seen them until I got it:

cgicol.amap.com
tracking.miui.com
www.baidu.com
sdkconfig.ad.intl.xiaomi.com
www.a.shifen.com

EDIT: connect.rom.miui.com This one I allowed otherwise I get constant "You are offline" popups on my phone.

There was a LOT more domains before I removed a lot of apps.

I removed following from the Redmi Note 12 Turbo China ROM and device works perfectly. Except one issue which I'm unable to figure out so far. Sometime Edge Browser and sometime Stock Messaging app freezes upon opening with a message "Edge isn't responding" or "Messaging isn't responding" even if I close and reopen. Tested on Both Wi-Fi and mobile data. MIUI 14.0.25.0 Stock ROM.

I uninstall this one "com.miui.securityadd"
and the phone gone down
what should I do now ?

Previously I uninstalled several save to uninstall bloatwares and now I can't manage second space on my Xiaomi 12 Lite. How can I enable it back? A pop out message constantly pops out stating that I need to unpin the app, but even when I did so, still the second space can be managed.
Which pre-installed app or program that caused this problem? Can anyone help me?

A few accounts claim that com.miui.daemon and com.xiaomi.joyose are actually useful apps that help you with your phone's operation.

Removing com.xiaomi.micloud.sdk kills the default sound recording app.

Okay, thanks for the info 👍

xiaomi bullet screen notification is safe remove, i confirm it :D

wallpaper backup too safe remove

I removed the following APKs on a Redmi Note 10S w/o causing any issues with operation, boot, security updates, etc., including a few apps described as not safe to uninstall above. However I can confirm, that the removal of com.xiaomi.finddevice causes problems, such as regular error messages. Also, despite the removal of below apps, significant network traffic to Xiaomi servers in China remains.

worked like a charm. only issue i ran into was that it did uninstall my keyboard with @Maetih apps. needed to download an apk and then reinstall the gboard app. not sure where that came from.

but y it still talks home, but at least most garbage is gone

Sorry to hear about your keyboard problems. I probably had already replaced the original keyboard with a privacy friendly alternative like AnySoftKeyboard or OpenBoard prior to removing the bloatware, as some preinstalled keyboards are sending every keystroke home. In order to keep the original keyboard do not remove the app "com.google.android.inputmethod.latin". The goal of the above list was to reduce also tracking by Google. If you want to keep all Google apps, services, do not remove anything, which starts with "com.google...." and "com.android...".
If one app too many was removed, the ADB command "adb shell pm install-existing <PACKAGE_NAME>" will bring it back in most cases.
The app "com.android.updater" provides system and security updates and is therefore essential. "com.xiaomi.discover" obviously upates preinstalled Xiaomi apps, including the bloatware. It is probably still better to keep it, as long as some Xiaomi apps remain.
"com.xiaomi.xmsf" and "com.xiaomi.xmsfkeeper" form the Xiaomi Service Framework. I did not remove them, though they are recommended by other users for removal. I do not know, what difference they make.
Also with "com.miui.global.packageinstaller" I followed a conservative approach and kept it, though some sources report, that the Google tool "com.google.android.packageinstaller" is sufficient to do the job.

com.miui.daemon

This app is duplicated under the two titles. Maybe need to remove from one.

@volodymyroliinyk I don't think it's duplicated. .daemon can't be disabled but can be uninstalled (and it's safe to do so). Maybe we should come up with a better title.

Currently don't have the device but managed to grab a list from a demo. Could anyone please help identify these apps?

This list is obtained from official HyperOS 2.0 (or A15).

/system_ext/app/MiuiAudioMonitor/MiuiAudioMonitor.apk=com.miui.audiomonitor

Why in the comment section everybody has included links ?? Does it allow posting links for APK webpages ?

@inervawunsch I don't understand what you wrote. Did you mean all those com.? They are the IDs of the apps.
