Hi all :)

It’s been a while since I modded a phone, so I’m a bit out of touch. If I root my phone and uninstall some apps, can I remove root afterwards so that I can use things like banking apps without workarounds?

I’ve got a Xiaomi Mi 10t Lite 5g, and it keeps automatically reinstalling its own apps, which then screw up my apps because they take over functions.

If I can completely remove apps rather than just hiding them, that would be a bonus.

Thanks for your help :)

    yes, I rooted my old phone to install custom ROM and save the recovery( my Chinese phone would remove custom recovery if I didn’t root

    iirc, the process was miui->twrp+pixel exp.+magisk+format data then I had a rooted phone but I didn’t need the root so I flashed pixel exp. and did a format data again and magisk was gone

    root should go away after clean flashing the ROM again as the update guides always say if you want to retain root, flash magisk after flashing ROM
