Xiaomi phones have good hardware, but man, the bloatware is obscene. I hope yours can be hacked and I hope you do it.
I'm guessing you won't do it.
๐ cheeky sod! I have lots planned for it this weekend. Already installed fdroid, revanced, etc. Got some tutorials lined up for removing bloat bits and abs there's a traffic monitor app someone recommended.
I've got Adguard on my network so that will catch some of the Xiaomi telemetry while I get round to it later today or tomorrow. ๐
If your model is supported, I'd recommend DivestOS. Always better to never have bloatware than to remove it.
