Redmi Note 15 Pro+ 5G — Complete Debloat & Ad Removal Guide

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

📌 Device Info

Field	Details
Device	Redmi Note 15 Pro+ 5G
Purchase Price	৳60,000 (3-month EMI)
OS	HyperOS (Global)
PC	Windows 10 Pro + Android Studio installed

⚠️ IMPORTANT — PayJoy Warning (EMI Device)

The app com.payjoy.access was found pre-installed. PayJoy is a device-financing lock app. Since this phone was bought on 3-month EMI, do NOT remove this app until all installments are paid — the finance company can remotely lock your device.

✅ Once EMI is fully paid, remove it safely:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.payjoy.access

🔧 ADB Methods — Choose One

Method 1 — ADB via PC (Windows)

Step 1 — Enable Developer Options

Settings → About Phone → tap "HyperOS Version" 7 times fast You’ll see: “You are now a developer!”

Step 2 — Enable USB Debugging

Settings → Additional Settings → Developer Options

Turn ON USB Debugging
Turn ON USB Debugging (Security Settings) ← Critical for HyperOS!

Step 3 — Get ADB on PC

Option A — From Android Studio (already installed):

C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools\

Shift + Right-click in that folder → Open PowerShell / CMD here

Option B — Download standalone:

https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools
Extract to C:\platform-tools\

Option C — Add to System PATH (permanent):

Win + S → “Environment Variables” → Path → Edit → New
Paste: C:\Users\Dell\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools
OK → OK → OK → reopen terminal

Step 4 — Connect & Verify

Plug phone with original data cable → tap ALLOW on phone popup
Change USB mode to File Transfer (MTP)

# PowerShell — use .\adb prefix
.\adb devices

# CMD — use adb directly
adb devices

Expected output:

List of devices attached
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX device

Output	Fix
`unauthorized`	Check phone popup, tap Allow
`offline`	Try different USB port or cable
empty list	Set USB mode to MTP; run `adb kill-server` then `adb start-server`

Method 2 — Wireless ADB via Termux (No PC Needed) ✅ Recommended

Shizuku is not available for HyperOS. Use Termux with Wireless ADB instead — full ADB control, no PC required.

Step 1 — Enable Wireless Debugging on Phone

Settings → Additional Settings → Developer Options → Wireless Debugging → Turn ON

Tap “Pair device with pairing code” — note the IP, pairing port, and pairing code.

Step 2 — Install ADB in Termux

pkg update && pkg install android-tools

Step 3 — Pair Termux with Phone

adb pair <IP>:<pairing-port>
# Example:
adb pair 192.168.1.5:41234
# Enter the pairing code when prompted: 123456

Step 4 — Connect

Back in the Wireless Debugging screen, note the main IP:Port (different from pairing port):

adb connect 192.168.1.5:5555

Step 5 — Run Commands Normally

All commands below work exactly the same — no .\ prefix needed in Termux:

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.package.name

🟢 DO NOT TOUCH — Critical System Apps

Package	Why Keep
`com.android.systemui`	Core UI — removing = black screen
`com.google.android.gms`	Google Play Services
`com.android.vending`	Play Store
`com.miui.home`	Launcher
`com.miui.securitycenter`	Core security
`com.miui.securitycore`	Core security
`com.android.phone`	Phone calls
`com.android.bluetooth`	Bluetooth
`com.android.settings`	Settings app
`com.xiaomi.account`	Mi Account (Find Device)
`com.qualcomm.*`	Chipset drivers
`com.android.providers.*`	Data providers

🔍 Find Any App’s Package Name

From Phone Settings: Settings → Apps → [find the app] → ⋮ → Additional Info

From ADB:

# List all system apps
adb shell pm list packages -s

# Filter by keyword
adb shell pm list packages -s | grep "miui" # Termux / Linux
adb shell pm list packages -s | findstr "miui" # Windows CMD

🔄 Restore a Mistakenly Removed App

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.package.name

🛡️ Block Remaining Ads — Private DNS

Even after debloating, some ads slip through system apps. Block them system-wide with no root:

Settings → More Connection Settings → Private DNS → Private DNS provider hostname

Option	Hostname	Notes
✅ AdGuard DNS	`dns.adguard.com`	No account needed, just works
NextDNS	`<your-id>.dns.nextdns.io`	Needs free account at nextdns.io — your unique ID is shown on the dashboard

⚠️ Entering just nextdns.io will break internet. You must use your personal subdomain like abc123.dns.nextdns.io from your NextDNS dashboard.

Recommendation: Use dns.adguard.com — simpler, zero setup, equally effective.

📱 Open-Source Ad-Free Alternatives (F-Droid)

Removed App	Replacement	Source
Mi Browser	Mull / Fennec F-Droid (Firefox-based)	F-Droid
Mi Video	VLC / mpv for Android	F-Droid
Mi Music	Auxio / Music Player GO	F-Droid
Mi File Manager	Material Files	F-Droid
Mi Calendar	Etar Calendar	F-Droid
GetApps	F-Droid	f-droid.org
Mi Weather	Breezy Weather	F-Droid
Mi Notes	Markor (Markdown notes)	F-Droid
Mi Gallery	Aves	F-Droid / GitHub
Mi Cleaner	❌ Not needed — Android manages RAM itself	—
Game Center	❌ Just uninstall	—

💡 After OTA Updates

Apps removed via ADB are hidden for your user account, not fully deleted. A major HyperOS OTA may restore some of them. Simply re-run the relevant commands — takes about 2 minutes.

Converting Your Web App to an Android App Using WebView

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Converting Web App to an Android App Using WebView

DEPLOY YOUR REACT APP (Vercel)

✅ Build your project (LOCAL) 📂 Open your React project folder G:\lzproject\lzapp-v2 🔹 Open Terminal in this folder

👉 In VS Code:

Terminal → New Terminal 🔹 Run this command: npm run build ✅ Expected result:

You will see a new folder:

dist/

👉 This is your production build

🌐 Deploy to Vercel 🔹 Step 1 — Open Vercel

Go to: 👉 https://vercel.com

🔹 Step 2 — Login

Use:

GitHub (recommended) OR Google 🔹 Step 3 — Import Project

Click:

Add New → Project 🔹 Step 4 — Select your repo

If your project is already on GitHub:

👉 Select:

lzapp-v2 🔹 Step 5 — Configure

Vercel auto-detects Vite 👍

Check:

Framework: Vite Build Command: npm run build Output Directory: dist

👉 Click:

Deploy ⏳ Wait 1–2 minutes ✅ STEP 6 — Get your URL

After deploy, you’ll get:

https://your-project-name.vercel.app

✅ Any update- TEST BEFORE DEPLOY

Run locally:

npm run dev

👉 Open: http://localhost:5173

THEN DEPLOY AGAIN

npm run build

Every time you change UI:

1. Edit React (App.jsx / CSS)
2. npm run build
3. Push or redeploy Vercel
4. Open Android app → updated automatically, See updated UI

🚀 1. Install Android Studio (Setup)

🔹 Download & Install

Head over to the official Android Developer website: https://developer.android.com/studio

Download and install the latest version of Android Studio. The installation process is straightforward and includes everything you need to get started.

🔹 During Setup

When prompted during installation, make sure to select:

✅ Standard installation
✅ Install Android SDK
✅ Install Emulator (optional, but useful for testing)

🔹 After Installation

Launch Android Studio and click “New Project” to begin.

📱 2. Create New Android Project

In the New Project wizard, select:

Template: Empty Views Activity
Language: Java (simpler for beginners)
Minimum SDK: API 21 (Android 5.0) - this covers about 95% of active Android devices

Fill in the project details:

Name: LzApp
Package: com.yourname.lzapp

Click Finish and let Android Studio set up your project.

🌐 3. Add Internet Permission

Your web app will need internet access, so we need to add the necessary permission.

Navigate to: app > src > main > AndroidManifest.xml

Add this line just above the <application> tag:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

🌍 4. Add WebView in Layout

Now let’s set up the user interface. Open: res > layout > activity_main.xml

Replace the entire contents with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WebView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:id="@+id/webView"
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent" />

This creates a full-screen WebView that will display your web app.

⚙️ 5. Load Your Vercel App in WebView

Open: MainActivity.java

Replace the entire file with:

package com.yourname.landzoning;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

 WebView webView;

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

 webView = new WebView(this);
 setContentView(webView);

 webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());

 webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
 webView.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);

 webView.loadUrl("https://your-vercel-app.vercel.app");
 }
}

Important: Replace https://your-vercel-app.vercel.app with your actual deployed Vercel URL.

🔙 6. Handle Back Button (IMPORTANT)

To provide a native app experience, we need to handle the back button properly. Add this method to your MainActivity.java:

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
 if (webView.canGoBack()) {
 webView.goBack();
 } else {
 super.onBackPressed();
 }
}

This allows users to navigate back through your web app’s history before exiting the app.

⚡ 7. Improve WebView (Production Ready Basics)

Let’s enhance the WebView settings for better performance and user experience. Add these lines after the existing settings in onCreate():

webView.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
webView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
webView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
webView.getSettings().setDisplayZoomControls(false);

These settings ensure your web app displays properly on different screen sizes and provides zoom controls.

🎬 8. Add Splash Screen

A splash screen provides a professional first impression. Let’s add one.

Step 1: Create splash layout

Create a new file: res > layout > splash.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
 xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:orientation="vertical"
 android:gravity="center"
 android:background="#ffffff"
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent">

 <TextView
 android:text="Land Zoning BD"
 android:textSize="24sp"
 android:textStyle="bold"
 android:textColor="#000"/>

</LinearLayout>

Step 2: Create SplashActivity

Right-click on your package → New → Activity → Empty Activity Name: SplashActivity

Replace the code with:

package com.yourname.landzoning;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

public class SplashActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 setContentView(R.layout.splash);

 new Handler().postDelayed(() -> {
 startActivity(new Intent(SplashActivity.this, MainActivity.class));
 finish();
 }, 2000); // 2 seconds
 }
}

Step 3: Make Splash First Screen

In AndroidManifest.xml, modify the activity declarations:

<activity android:name=".SplashActivity">
 <intent-filter>
 <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
 <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
 </intent-filter>
</activity>

<activity android:name=".MainActivity" />

📦 9. Build APK (Production)

🔹 Build Debug APK

From the top menu: Build → Build APK(s)

After the build completes, click Locate to find your APK at: app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk

🔐 10. Build Release APK (IMPORTANT)

For distribution, you need a signed release APK.

Go to: Build → Generate Signed Bundle / APK

Choose:

APK
Create new keystore

Fill in:

Password
Key alias
Validity: 25 years

Then:

Select release
Finish

Your signed APK will be at: app-release.apk

🚀 11. Install on Phone

You can install the APK in two ways:

USB Method: Copy the APK to your phone and install it directly.
ADB Method: Connect your phone via USB and run:
```
adb install app-release.apk
```

⚠️ Important Tips for Your GIS App

Since you’re working with Leaflet, Firebase, and Vercel:

🔹 Security & Performance

✅ Ensure HTTPS (Vercel handles this automatically)
❌ Avoid mixed content (no HTTP resources in HTTPS pages)

🔹 Map Performance Optimization

Add these settings for better map rendering:

webView.getSettings().setAllowFileAccess(true);
webView.getSettings().setAllowContentAccess(true);

🎯 Next Steps

Once you have the basic WebView wrapper working, consider these enhancements:

Offline Caching: Implement PWA features for offline functionality
Native Loading Indicators: Add progress bars and loading states
Pull-to-Refresh: Implement swipe-to-refresh functionality
Push Notifications: Integrate Firebase Cloud Messaging
Custom Toolbar: Add navigation controls that feel native
Play Store Release: Prepare your app for Google Play Store distribution

⚠️ If Build Issues Occur

Sometimes after moving, you may see errors like:

Gradle path issue
SDK not found

Fix:

🔹 1. Re-sync Gradle

File → Sync Project with Gradle Files

🔹 2. Clean & Rebuild

Build → Clean Project
Build → Rebuild Project

🔹 3. Check SDK Path

File → Project Structure → SDK Location

Make sure it points to something like:

C:\Users\Dell\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk

👉 Summary

You’re essentially creating a native Android wrapper around your web application:

React App (Vercel) → Android WebView Wrapper → APK App
