Hidden settings for miui (I know this is not miui but it works for some programs)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...han.sets&hl=tr

I disabled within it :

Android Keyboard (AOSP) -I use hacker's keyboard-
Google Play Services
Google Play Store

Some programs says that they need google play services to run, for example telegram but in the end they run with it disabled, so no need for me.

If you really want to disable stuff though, you have to use adb commands by connecting the device via usb cable to pc.

Here is some stuff I disabled and command I used -not the whole list-

Connect device via usb cable to a pc, have adb tools ready, enter command prompt.

adb devices
(to be sure device is connected and can be used via tools)

this is the output for me :
List of devices attached
CNBT80D20200600482 device

to list installed apps on the device enter this
adb shell pm list packages

and finally and example to disable any app from the list
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.providers.telephony

change com.android.providers.telephony to any other app name, but of course be careful not to disable any important system app.

You can of course enable-disable google framework from the settings and after that if you disable these I listed below it would be better.




Code:
package:com.android.providers.telephony
package:com.android.providers.calendar
package:com.android.browser

(I don't use default browser, I use kiwi browser)

package:com.android.providers.downloads.ui
package:com.android.vending

(this is the play store, and again I don't use it I use aurora store which works with google framework and all these stuff disabled)

package:com.google.android.gms
package:com.android.inputmethod.latin
package:com.google.android.feedback
package:com.android.providers.blockednumber
package:com.android.providers.contacts
package:android.rk.RockVideoPlayer

(finally this is the video player installed on the device, tried it once , it is not practical so no need to have it here)
To enable any disabled app again from the adb command ,
example:

adb shell pm enable android.rk.RockVideoPlayer

IMPORTANT !!!! BTW you can enable stuff disabled with ADB commands with Hidden Settings BUT if you want to disable them again you have disable them from the command prompt.

The thing is other than google play store not much is needed to be enabled again for me so this is mostly a one time thing with adb tools\ disable stuff and forget. And also I updated two times via System Updates while this stuff is disabled and didn't have any problems.
