I'll tell you in this article, how to completely remove system applications from Android without Root, fast, easy and safe. Brief and simple instructions with pictures will apply to absolutely all smartphones from the recently very popular Xiaomi company.

Of course, we will not get rid of all system undeletable in the usual way applications, but only from those that you do not use, selectively. This is useful for releasing random access memory, disappearing unnecessary shortcuts from the smartphone screen and increasing free space in the device.

By the way, at the same time we will noticeably reduce the number of pop-up ads in the Miui shell.


Removing system applications from Android without Root

Reader interest in this topic is especially high on my website - in the last two days alone, more than 20,000 people read the first article...

For some, following the instructions from the previous article, it was not possible to freeze all Google junk, and for others, simply reliably stopping these unnecessary services from Google was not enough. There were also those who, not understanding the question at all, rushed in the comments to teach me something, to prove something, to spew out their rotten essence in curses and obscenities...

But this is all... doctors will definitely help them and teach them life, and I accidentally found on one very popular forum on the topic of smartphones a 100% working method for completely getting rid of built-in “unremovable” system applications in any smartphone model from Xiaomi.

Just a few days ago, on the occasion of my anniversary, I bought a new wonderful super smart from this manufacturer with global firmware - Mi Max 3.

While the monthly counter for bootloader unlocking is ticking, I can’t install Root rights on my smart shovel phone, so I personally tested the method described below on it.

Xiaomi ADB Fastboot Tools program

On the Internet they write that this free program designed to remove built-in applications on a locked bootloader and without root rights (applicable to unlocked devices as well). So - we are coming to you, along with the Xiaomi utility ADB Fastboot Tools!

First we need a smartphone...

Enable USB Debugging

To do this, in the “About phone” settings item, tap on the MIUI version 7 times in a row...

Then go to advanced settings...

...and “For Developers”...

Here you just need to move one slider...

This is how easy it is to enable USB debugging.

How does Xiaomi ADB Fastboot Tools work?

Now be more careful and careful - strictly follow the sequence of actions. Connect yours Xiaomi smartphone to the computer with a standard cord and launch the program...

SWITCH your smart phone to file transfer mode! Click the “Debloater” button in the program window...



Since you are connecting in USB debugging mode for the first time, you will see a similar window on your phone...

Click on “OK” and in the new window that appears, select the system applications that you want to get rid of...

Just be more careful, understanding exactly what you are deleting. All you have to do is click on the “Uninstall” button...

...look at the process for a few seconds complete removal built-in system applications in the left section of the program and wait for “Done!” to appear. ...

All! Click “Reboot into System” and enjoy the boiling water - you were able to completely remove system applications from Android without Root just like that...

The list of garbage removed may vary depending on installed firmware and version of the utility. That is why I always recommend using it yourself current version Xiaomi ADB Fastboot Tools programs.

There's just icing left on the cake...

Reducing the amount of advertising in MIUI

Just be sure to remove "Analytics"...

...and "Msa" ...

All applications listed in the program window can be safely deleted - no glitches or errors will appear. For example, if you use the Opera browser to surf the Internet, then you can safely remove the built-in one. The same story with the video player and mail.

Games in social network VK is a great opportunity to pass the time and enjoy interacting with other users. But some apps are annoying because of ads, scams, or alerts. How to get rid of the VKontakte problem, read further in the article.

Step-by-step actions to resolve the issue

Removal is simple process, which is completed in a few clicks. To do this you will need to implement the following actions:

  1. Go to your personal page on VK, then find the “Games” item in the menu section on the left. We make the transition and monitor installed applications.
  2. We find the square with the start of the game, when you hover over it, a small cross appears for deletion. Click on it and confirm the process.
  3. Refresh the page and check. The application will disappear and will not bother you.

Problems with uninstallation sometimes occur if the game is installed on mobile device through Google Play. When logging into such applications for the first time, you are asked to log in through a social network. When you log in, the action is remembered and leads to the latter being permanently added to the corresponding section on the social network. To avoid this bug, we recommend deleting the game on your phone and repeating the steps described above.

Hide launch broadcast in status


When you install and launch a new application, it is added to the status bar. This is somewhat annoying, especially for adults who while away their evenings playing games. In order not to advertise such activity, we implement the following actions:

  1. Let's launch the application and open the main profile page in a new window.
  2. IN status line, where the broadcast is located, click on it and uncheck the box on the left. Save and refresh the page.
  3. Check the success of the outcome of events by restarting the application.

It should be noted that until now VKontakte developers have not provided the ability to completely disable broadcasting through the settings. This would greatly simplify the procedure and solve the problem for many users.

Removing unwanted items from the menu on the left


Some games offer certain rewards to be placed in the sidebar on the left. With a large number of programs, the line becomes clogged and orientation becomes inconvenient. To remove excess, you will need to do the following:

  1. Go to the social network settings. The action is implemented by clicking on the small icon at the top right and selecting the appropriate section.
  2. In “General” we find “Customize the display of menu items” and click on it.
  3. We remove annoying applications, save and check the result. Please note that here is an opportunity to completely remove the “Games” section, which will be useful in the fight against gaming addiction in children.

For this method I recommend using the browser and the Tamper Data 11.0.1 add-on
1. We go to edit our group information and at the very bottom we see:
"Applications: You can add applications to a group on this page."
http://s56.radikal.ru/i151/1102/f4/bb8468c86b47.png

3. Go to the application search page and click on “Add to group”, you will be redirected to the error page “The user has chosen to hide this page”, but we do not pay attention to this and go to the “Tamper Data” window.
Next in the “Tamper Data” window we find the following line:
"http://vkontakte.ru/apps.php?act =join"

4. Click on it and in the lower left window we find the line:
"POSTDATA gid=12345&id=123456&hash=8cc46ef47676c6b901&type=4 "

Click on this line right click mouse and copy the text. Paste the text into Notepad and delete the extra ones, this is what should remain:
"gid=12345&id=123456&hash=8cc46ef47676c6b901"

That is, we removed "POSTDATA=" and "&type=4".

We are left with:
"gid=group id&id=application id&hash=application hash"

For example:
"gid=12345&id=12345&hash=8cc46ef47676c6b901"

As the owner of your own community on the VKontakte social network, you may have already encountered the question of the forced exclusion of a participant. In this article, we will discuss current methods that allow you to exclude users from the community.

First of all, please note that deleting people from a VKontakte group is available only to the creator or administrators of the group. At the same time, do not forget about the existing possibility of voluntary withdrawal from the list in question.

After removing a participant, you will still have the opportunity to invite him back in accordance with the recommendations from special articles on our website.

In addition to all of the above, you should keep in mind that once a member is removed from the VK community, all of their privileges will be revoked. However, if for some reason you, as the creator, want to exclude yourself, then upon return, all original rights will be returned to you.

All proposed methods are suitable for "Group" And "Public page".

Method 1: Full version of the site

Since the vast majority of VKontakte public page owners prefer to use the full version of the site to manage the community, we will initially touch on this option. The browser version of VK is also recommended for any other manipulations over the group.

There must be one or more participants in the community, with the exception of you, as the creator.

Users with sufficiently high powers can remove people from the public:

  • administrator;
  • moderator.

Please also note that no user can exclude a person with rights from the group "Owner".

  1. Through the main menu of VKontakte, open the section "Groups" and from there, go to the page of the group in which you want to remove members.
  2. While on home page public, find the button with the image of three horizontal dots on the right side of the signature "You're in a group" or "You are subscribed".
  3. In the menu that opens, select "Community Management".
  4. Using the navigation menu, go to the tab "Participants".
  5. If your group has enough a large number of subscribers, use the special line "Search by participants".
  6. In the block "Participants" Find the user you want to exclude.
  7. On the right side of the person's name, click on the link "Remove from community".
  8. Within some time from the moment of exclusion, you will be able to return the participant by clicking on the link "Restore".
  9. To complete the exclusion process, refresh the page or go to any other section of the site.

After the update, it will not be possible to restore the participant!

This concludes with the main points regarding the process of excluding people from the VKontakte public. However, it is important to note that excluding privileged users requires additional steps.

Method 2: VK mobile application

As you know, the VKontakte mobile application is not particularly different from full version site, but due to the different layout of the sections, you may still encounter complications, which can be avoided by strictly following the instructions.

  1. Open home page a public in which there are users to be deleted, for example, through a section "Groups".
  2. Once on home page community, go to section "Community Management" using the gear button in the upper right corner.
  3. Among the presented list of sections, find the item "Participants" and open it.
  4. Find the person being excluded.
  5. Don't forget to use the internal search system to speed up the search for the right user.

  6. Having found the person you need, look next to his name for an icon with three vertical dots and click on it.
  7. Select an item "Remove from community".
  8. Don't forget to confirm your actions through a special window.
  9. In this case, you will not be able to restore the participant, since the page update in mobile application occurs automatically, immediately after the specified confirmation.

  10. After completing the recommendations, the user will leave the list of participants.

When manually removing users from a group, be careful, since re-inviting a former member is not always possible.

Method 3: Bulk purge of members

As a complement to the first two methods, which concern exclusively basic capabilities site VKontakte, a method of mass exclusion of people from the community should be considered. Please note that this method does not directly affect any version of the site, but still requires authorization through a secure zone.

Now you can close the window from the VK website.

Further actions are aimed directly at the process of removing participants from the public.

Each community has a daily limit on the number of deleted users equal to 500 people.

This is where we can finish with all the existing and, more importantly, currently relevant methods for removing participants from a VKontakte group. All the best!
