What I'm looking for?

Looking for medium feedback.

Just one question

Many users say using Xiaomi apps will get ads. Is that true? Shouldn't have an issue with non-Xiaomi apps.

If you dare use Canta and Shizuku apps to remove/debloat Xiaomi/Google unneeded apps. Note that do NOT remove/debloat system apps otherwise your system will be affected. Follow the below in post #8 and #33.
