"Uninstall-able but not recommended. Foreground battery might get worse, could be because of com.miui.powerkeeper , it might remove some app info settings which could increase battery usage."

com.miui.securitycenter

Bootloop app, need to try uninstalling with MIUI/system optimization off. This could be the main culprit behind my battery drain, this might be the so called "Greenify" of the system apps by Xiaomi into MIUI/HyperOS.

com.miui.powerkeeper

Newly Uninstalled RAM using apps

Reinstalled to improve foreground battery

"com.xiaomi.xsmf might be used for internet connections with Xiaomi to provide internet-based features on OEM user apps. It might have wakelock after every few moments, but not drain the battery"

com.xiaomi.xmsf
com.miui.core

"com.miui.core might cause the video mode of the Dolby Atmos to stop working correctly, and it might also remove which might be the only way to access the sidebar by searching in the settings until reinstalled."

You might need to reinstall com.xiaomi.finddevice to revoke authorisation for apps. Network access for the settings app might also be necessary.

Reinstalled Part 2

"I used the Canta app which might provide discussed public user reviews of known apps, downloaded and represented in the app from a centralised GitHub issue page in a single user interface."

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

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.

For Audiophiles, I have information that searching for Side Toolbox in Settings and enabling the settings Video Toolbox allows to open a secret menu in the manually selected video apps, e.g., YouTube is selected by default, just open to see the sidebar. Under the Dolby Atmos section in the sidebar, there's the option for Expanded Stereo (Earphones only), setting it to 4, increases the default effect to feel much more behind, I tested, it works to change the default effect of the Dolby Atmos in all apps, regardless of whether they are selected as video apps, it seems to be just a setting hidden by Xiaomi at factory.

There seems to be no option to turn off Fast Charging on my device. Instead, the Rapid Fast Charging could be calmed down from , e.g., 50W Max to 30W Max and 20W Max Average. The trick could be by turning on Boost Charging Speed through the hidden settings. The activity class of the Security app package com.miui.securitycenter is com.miui.powercenter.fastCharge.FastChargeActivity.

There's only the Performance Mode of com.miui.securityadd sidebar while playing a game on this device. But the hidden settings of the activity class com.qualcomm.qti.performancemode.PerformanceModeActivity of the package named com.qualcomm.qti.performancemode could most likely apply the same Performance Mode at the system/kernel level for all apps. Below the switch in the applying screen shows the info that "It will provide better performance in most scenarios but there will be a bit higher power consumptions as well". After enabling Performance Mode through this way, I noticed that Performance Mode runs in the RAM ensuring the setting keeps enabled.

Hello, I have a question. I removed several bloatware apps such as Mi Account, but the entry is still present in the settings. When I click on it nothing happens, but ideally it shouldn’t be there at all… Is there a way to remove bloatware and also their entries in the settings?

com.xiaomi.aiasst.vision can someone unlock to translate other than chinese

On my "Xiaomi 17 Pro", uninstalling "com.miui.personalassistant" caused the widget picker not to work any longer. (Long-press on home screen still brings up the icon; however, clicking it doesn't do anything anymore.)
"com.miui.personalassistant" actually seems to be the "App Vault" / "-1 Screen", which I don't need, but apparently it's connected to the widget picker. Or is there another way to add widgets on HyperOS 3?
Thanks a lot!

It's usually uninstalled per user basis since android has introduced guest users etc in A9 so dw it's just like a hollow it doesn't take up much storage or run in bg - Unless you chose to uninstall for all users :)
