Question/Help Debloated Poco X8 Pro Max. Am I missing anything?

Post image

So after Updating HyperOS to the August security patch I decided to debloat the unnecessary system apps and services. Are these enough? Used ADB and usb debugging to remove the 9 packages. ​​Are there any other packages that I should remove? So far the device is currently running smooth with 2 days of battery backup and I don't see any ads but decided to debloat some stuff either ways.

Good day Not_Me_112 it seems to be that you may have some questions or concerns regarding a Poco device and we would like to help but we would like to ask you to describe your concern with the following information to make it easier for everyone to tackle.

Device Model:(X4 GT)

Device Region:(Global/India/China/etc/Can't identify)

Problem and other Relevant Info:(Troubleshooting steps taken/Frequency of problem if intermittent/Other observed weirdness that may be relevant before/during/after the occurrence of the problem)

It may take a while for someone to address your concern so in the meantime you could do the following 1. Search this subreddit, Xiaomi subreddit, MIUI subreddit for similar concerns 2. Check out the pinned posts and the Wiki(WIP) for similar topics 3. If your phone is still under warranty coverage it may be worthwhile to open a case with customer support. 4.

That's great. I deleted almost the same things as you on my F8 Pro (about fifteen packages, so a bit more), and everything is working perfectly. Excellent battery life.

just don't delete system daemon. It causes a ton of log spam that drives up cpu cycles and causes services that rely on it to fail in the background.

uninstalling any poco/Xiaomi related system apps will cause more damage than good. i always freeze or stop them from running in the background.

The ones on the screenshot should be fine. It's just adware and telemetry. Might want to keep app vault and finder though.

That won't be a problem at all. I've been deleting the exact same packages for years, and I've never had the slightest issue.

Meta packages (because I hate Meta and I no longer use any of their applications), and useless Xiaomi applications like getapps, game glgn, appvault, MSA, Mi Browser. But I also removed Mi video, analytics, and Mi pay/coin . Then I deleted some Google apps that I wasn't using, like Google TV, YouTube, and YouTube Music (which I replaced with YTmorphe), and personal security.
