Hey @Piyush09785 did you restart the phone after uninstalling all these things?

• No bootloops or random reboots after removing the com.xiaomi.finddevice app?
• And the gallery works fine without issues after removing com.xiaomi.micloud.sdk?

A few years ago, something in the gallery stopped working properly. It turned out the cause was the removal of com.xiaomi.micloud.sdk. I've finally discovered thanks to AppManager and its Shared libs tab in settings. Even tho no cloud-related features were being used at the time. In fact, everything with cloud in the name had been removed, except this SDK. It was restored solely to fix the gallery, and possibly other apps too, though the details are a bit fuzzy now.

Hi @Piyush09785 did you uninstall com.miui.powerkeeper or only set System Optimization off from device settings?

I already said, I didn't try with System/MIUI Optimization off, and don't intend to risk the bootloop again, I have zero idea and want to keep it that way about anything beyond software rather than trying trial and error about uninstalling apps hoping that will improve my device efficiency and performance.

As I already told you, I am running an older version of Android intentionally, that's why this information is only relevant for users with the same particular situation.

I restart everytime specially after uninstalling high risk apps to risk checking the objectivity of bootloop.

Yes, I didn't get bootloop after uninstalling com.xiaomi.finddevice and restarting the device. But...

PLEASE NOTE

...that the subjectivity would definitely be different for users of different devices and different software, e.g., I can uninstall com.xiaomi.finddevice, while can't uninstall com.miui.powerkeeper, but maybe some user of even older MIUI device could uninstall com.miui.powerkeeper, while can't uninstall com.xiaomi.finddevice.

As you have seen, I have uninstalled mi cloud and mi account apps, therefore I can't check and also don't intend to give my personal information to some closed source software and neglected privacy policy.

As you have read the disclaimer, I assume you know the correct use of my information if you decided to read it. For more elaboration, I would say that the uninstallation of the com.xiaomi.micloud.sdk was a personal choice and doesn't indicate a matter of educating the public.

I don't need to repeat even after you have read the disclaimer but I am still interpreting for you. Saying that like you are assuming we are in the same situation is your personal choice even after reading the disclaimer, believing that we have the same device and same software is careless.

For more information, regarding the com.xiaomi.micloud.sdk, I noticed that updating the gallery app from version 3.5.4.16 to 3.5.7.24 probably removes the mi cloud related feature and replaces it with option of management of google photos from the gallery app. Also, enabling/disabling the hidden MIUI/System Optimization is possible by tapping four times on the Reset to default values under AUTO-FILL column and checking the hidden memory usage section is possible by opening the hidden activity com.android.settings.Settings$MemorySettingsActivity or com.android.settings.Settings$AppMemoryUsageActivity by using an app like de.szalkowski.activitylauncher 1.15.2.
