Experience with uninstallation #95

Open FrederikSchack opened 2 years ago

FrederikSchack commented 2 years ago

I just wanted to comment that I´ve uninstalled the following list of packages without any apparent issues over a couple of days. I´ve used most of the installed apps and restarted the phone without issues.

I don´t have Google Play Services installed or any app that needs Google Service Framework and don´t have any apparent issues with that. I´ve replaced all pre-installed apps with apps mostly from F-droid and a few downloaded via AuroraStore and APKMirror.

There was only two packages I needed to reinstall, that are not listed below (com.xiaomi.finddevice and com.miui.guardprovider).

Phone: Xiaomi Poco X3

I want to add that this is a new phone, it has never been logged into Google in any way and I accepted as little as I possibly could during setup. I installed NetGuard and was stunned by the amount of connection attempts (1-10 per second) from diverse apps/services primarily to Google/Xiaomi/Alibaba, in spite of me opting out of everything that I could during setup.

After uninstalling the above listed apps, I had a quite remarkable drop in connection attempts.

Now I´ve uninstalled more apps (not listed above), after finding your UAD app and the unwanted connection attempts dropped to virtually zero and my phone still seems to work as I want it to.
