(Galnet) MIUI at one point used to be the ROM to install back in the day.

Now, typing from this Mi 11 meme it’s a whole different kettle of fish. Security app is what I would call snake oil leaning for towards spyware, then all the other uninstallable apps from MIUI are tracking apps / dupes.

To be honest though being able to uninstall YouTube should be a given but Google won’t allow that either, even though it’s a “website”.

Yes, so much yes!
I never dabbled in ROM installation, but I really felt the bad things going on with the MIUI once I tried it, it’s such a shame because the hardware is so good for the price and it’s funny that it wouldn’t have cost them more to put a stock Android, that would have most likely worked better, but then they wouldn’t have got their hands on that sweet sweet data…

@ladfrombrad @QuazarOmega Root + trackercontrol + adaway does wonders

I got rid of the ads already systemwide with NextDNS, though I never had them in system apps (maybe a regional thing?). About root, I prefer to stay away from it for the security implications, but if I had a simple button to install DivestOS on this phone I would click it immediately

PoCo F3 here too, yup, always have been. The worst is modem crashing when changing bands/tower.

Never had that thankfully, sounds extremely bad! But it’s got its fair share of other annoying bugs
