    Hey, it’s not that easy to brick phones with Qualcomm processors because there are many resurrection methods, so congratulations. I hope you recovered aftr losing your phone because it didn’t 😭

    Hmm, I don’t have a phone with Leica lenses, so I don’t really know, but if you’re interested, I believe someone has already discussed it on the xiaomi.eu forum.

    Yes, that’s one of the drawbacks. However, you can find the app package name quite easily by long-pressing the icon of the desired app on your phone, then tapping on App Info, and finally on the ℹ️ icon for additional information.

    I saw that there is a way to remove system apps as you envisioned using the Canta app in combination with Shizuku app. But I’ve never personally tried this method.

      so congratulations.

      Yeah that one was on me being stupid. And it didn’t prevent me from buying an LG 4 afterwards.

      Yes, but it doesn’t say the file name, which is what the ADB uninstall tools use.

      I ended up returning it, it showed one advertisement too many (premium wallpapers!), and security center can’t be uninstalled. I don’t want to use custom ROM anymore, If I plan to have a phone for 3-4 years, I’ll have to go through the hassle again to upgrade.

      Too bad really, because the hardware was amazing, and it worked well apart from the bad MEUI decisions and shenanigans.
