Removing Unwanted Xiaomi Apps

This guide will show you how to remove pre-installed Xiaomi apps on your Android device using ADB commands.

Identifying Package Names

First, connect your device to your computer and enable USB debugging. Open a terminal window and execute the following commands.

$ adb shell

$ pm list packages | grep ‘xiaomi’
$ pm list packages | grep ‘miui'

These commands will list all installed packages and filter for those containing "xiaomi" or "miui" in their names.

Note down the package names of the apps you want to remove.

Uninstalling Apps

Use the following command to uninstall an app, replacing `<PackageName>` with the actual package name:

$ pm uninstall -k —user 0 <PackageName>

The `-k` flag preserves the app's data, allowing you to reinstall it later. The `--user 0` flag specifies the primary user.

Restoring Apps

$ cmd package install-existing <PackageName>

com.xiaomi.micloud.sdk # sdk for developer
