Hi all :)

It’s been a while since I modded a phone, so I’m a bit out of touch. If I root my phone and uninstall some apps, can I remove root afterwards so that I can use things like banking apps without workarounds?

I’ve got a Xiaomi Mi 10t Lite 5g, and it keeps automatically reinstalling its own apps, which then screw up my apps because they take over functions.

If I can completely remove apps rather than just hiding them, that would be a bonus.

Thanks for your help :)

    It honestly depends on the manufacturer. Samsung’s One UI for example doesn’t re-install uninstalled system apps. I’d guess MIUI does the same. I don’t think every update would come with an updated version of every system app that would automatically get installed.

      I don’t think every update would come with an updated version of every system app that would automatically get installed.

      I think we’re on the same page, but looking at it from different angles.

      I’ve uninstalled updates and disabled the apps, but a system update restores them. I would imagine that disabling them with ADB would end up with the same result. Removing them with root should, in theory at least, remove them completely.

      If I get more than five minutes to myself this weekend, I’ll try the ADB method and see what happens 👍
