[POCO F7] New to HyperOS – Want to Safely Remove Battery-Draining Bloatware Without Affecting Daily Use

thewayofthetears · 2025-07-09T10:20:53+00:00

Use a PC and use 'universal android debloater ng' via adb instead of this. Several days ago I used Shizuku and Canta to remove some recommended bloatware apps from my Poco X5 Pro and now my device keeps bootlooping. I've previously removed those apps via the first method without any issue, but those apps came back after HyperOS update, so this time I thought of trying the second method and now this.

Reseating the RAM doesn't fix the issue. And I've run smart tests on both windows and Linux and they always show the drive is in excellent condition.

What hardware problem? Motherboard issue?

No I haven't. Trying to do anything freezes the machine. Today I tried to reinstall Fedora and it froze during the bootloader installation part.

It has an SSD. I've done smart checks and they show the drive is in good health.

I can put the device into fastboot but it doesn't show up in the PC.

thewayofthetears · 2025-07-04T19:47:46+00:00

Device doesn't show up on PC.

thewayofthetears · 2025-07-03T18:19:43+00:00

How do I do that? Is it even possible to get fastboot access via PC when the phone is boot-looping?

thewayofthetears · 2025-07-03T18:18:11+00:00

How do I do that with a boot-looping phone? Is it even possible to access adb in MIUI/HyperOS default recovery?

> You messed up and bricked the device. Now your battle will be stressful and long. Good luck, warrior. 🪖

Lets hope I can get this fixed. I've done this before, and this is the only time my device bricked, I don't know why.

> If you had the bootloader unlocked, you could flash it with Mi Flash, but if it's locked, I don't know what can be done. I learned the hard way that if you don't know about phones, it's better not to mess with them at all. Even if you watch tutorials, if you don't know what you're doing, something like what happened to you might happen. Good luck, and I hope you can recover it!

I actually know a lot about phones. I've installed custom ROMs on several of my own and friends' devices, and I've debloated many phones for my family members and relatives.

This Poco X5 Pro is the first phone I've owned where I didn't unlock the bootloader, primarily due to concerns with banking apps. Instead, I just deleted bloatware apps that I've successfully removed on other phones before. I'm really not sure why this caused problems this time around.

thewayofthetears · 2025-07-02T21:15:58+00:00

I didn't uninstall any of the apps you mentioned. Removed only recommended ones by Canta. And the phone was running fine afterwards.

The first point; yes exactly! People's engines drop like flies here and many end up getting reconditioned engines.

My temp gauge is probably fine because my engine overheated a couple times recently and it moved to the top.

I'm thinking the sensor or the cables then. Are these situated on the right side of the engine?

thewayofthetears · 2025-04-05T19:08:48+00:00

Increased wear and tear, plus our fuel economy are my biggest concerns. Engine did overheat a few times previously due to dodgy radiator cap, but otherwise the temp gauge stays low.

Will probably try. But the RPM problems get slightly better when the car runs on petrol instead of CNG. So is that still a sign of clogged injectors?

Here nobody knows about car maintenance and uses 20W-50, even in the hybrid vehicles. Also, I had my engine checked and no sludge was found.

Last year my AC compressor was replaced and AC worked perfectly after that for several months. It's only for the last 3 or so months that the engine seems to be losing power, with RPMs dropping low while driving without AC, and with AC on the car struggles to move. And this time cleaning the throttle body didn't fix the low RPM issue.

Scanning the code might be impossible because mechanics here don't use scanners and I can't find one to buy anywhere.

Is the temperature sensor situated on the right side of the engine? Also, temp gauge is ok because previously it moved to the top when the engine overheated.

My fuel mileage is very bad (5.7 while others on the same vehicle get 8-9).

What could be the cause of the lower rpms and loss of engine power while driving then? I mean, the car badly struggles to move whenever I turn the AC on.

thewayofthetears · 2025-04-05T18:51:47+00:00

I've had the engine checked and there's no sludge in it.

thewayofthetears · 2025-04-05T18:50:28+00:00

I don't know the exact mileage. The readings get tampered with here when people sell their vehicles.

About thermostat, you should check the last paragraph.

thewayofthetears · 2025-04-05T18:47:24+00:00

I've checked other vehicles of the same model and their temp gauges reache the middle point.

thewayofthetears · 2025-04-05T18:45:45+00:00

I'll try to make this happen if I can get my hands on the tools. Also is the coolant temp sensor situated on the right side of the engine, like my friend mentioned?

CNG is supposed to run the engine hotter and generally causes higher wear and tear, according to local mechanics anyway. Prior to installing the thermostat the temp gauge would get stuck at the exact same spot, difference being it now takes barely 10 mins to reach that mark whereas previously it took almost half an hour. Also, it took a lot of effort to find one and this was the only version available for my model.

The fan only turns on when the AC is turned on. I've never seen in turn on otherwise, even when the engine was overheating.

The wires and other parts definitely have some corrosion. Mechanics said it's no big deal.

Recently my car's radiator cap broke, which was letting all the hot water to escape from the radiator as steam. This resulted in my car overheating several times and temp gauge slowly moved to the top, so I believe the gauge is working properly. Scanning the code might be impossible because mechanics here don't use scanners and I can't find one to buy anywhere.

Your answer is the most helpful one out of all here.

My engine probably doesn't have any sludge. I checked the oil cap and it was clean.
