De-Googled stock rom.

Hello Everyone.
I was wondering of there was a good magisk module or flashable zip or list of google based applications I can freeze / remove on this phone.
I have manually done it as best I can in the past before using / Lineage OS / Havoc Rom / AOSIP ROM Etc but there are too many bugs and I want to maintain as much stock functionality like Cameras / GPS etc (My two main issues).
Is there a Stock ROM without any google apps / services or good way to disable or remove them?
Any good guides to remove them / freeze them if not.
Thank you!

If you want to use aosp would not flashing fapped cause the issues you're referring?
Personally I'd recommend staying on oos and using xxnolimits and edit the profile, let's you do a very thorough debloat and you can pick what you want to remain.

Read this thread if you can find some good info,

ASAIK micro-G is required to run android without google services, custom roms are mostly compatible with micro-G but not sure about OOS, but can be tried, hope this helps, cheers.

Thanks, I have tried xxnolimits in the past. Good magisk rom. Yea, AOSP just has too many issues for now but maybe later.

Thanks, the list at the end of Tomatot Debloater is useful. I am already using MicroG and Signiture Spoofing. Appreciate the help, trying to strip out google as much as possible.

Question about ROM

How is your experience with these all operating systems for POCO X3 NFC
compared to MIUI. What's the difference?
Which do you like?
Is it easy to install?

Detailed Guide for Flashing ROMs in POCO X3 / NFC (Karna & Surya)
I thought current custom recoveries don't check for rollback protection (yet)? It's probably safe to be flashing stock firmwares via custom recovery if you are sure you know what you're doing. But this guide seem to appeal to new comers. Should...

ShareMe and Mi Share

I'm currently in the process of debloating my POCO F3 but I'd like to know if the apps ShareMe and Mi Share are basically the same. What are they for? Are they safe to be disabled?

ShareMe app is used to transfer files. Disabling it will not hurt anything.

Thanks. Yea, I've looked at that thread. But what's the real difference bettween the ShareMe (also known as Mi Drop) and Mi Share?

poco x3 nfc question from the official rom

very good, I wanted to ask about the official rom of the poco x3 nfc, does anyone know if there is the official rom of miui 13 but that it does not have all the gapps as they come by default? For example, I only want the minimum ones that do not have so many installations, only Google Play and the necessary ones, I think they are called nano gapps, my question is if there is an official rom with the minimum necessary gapps? not with so many apps that the rom installs.

It doesn't work that way.
If Xiaomi wants to sell phones with the PlayStore on it, it has also to include other Google apps and the Google search.
If you want the bare minimum from Google, you have to install a custom ROM.
Maybe it's possible to disable/uninstall unnecessary Google apps. Search around the forum for de-bloating. There's probably something in the guides section

Question root A53 US?

I'm getting A53 with Model SM-A536U from Xfinity mobile. Is there any guide on how to unlock and root this phone? I'd like to have some automation running on this phone. Thanks

Nope, apparently its not possible to root US based phones. I have the same model from the same carrier and its not possible.

Unfortunately Samsung phones in the US/Canada won't show the oem unlock option in settings to unlock the bootloader anymore, so root is not an option.
But the good news is that you don't need root to use most automation apps.

Thanks for the information guys.
That's sad. Are we able to move some of useless bloatware?
