The Xiaomi Redmi 10A is an Android 11 (MIUI 12) powered device running on the MediaTek MT6762 (MT6765) chipset. The bootloader can be easily unlocked using Mi Unlock Tool<\/a> or MTKClient<\/a>. I bought the 2GB RAM + 32GB Internal Storage variant for practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4GB RAM Good, 2GB RAM Bad<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The device started lagging really quickly, which is unsurprising for a 2GB RAM device in 2026. I had two choices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Flash an AOSP GSI ( e.g system-squeak-arm32_binder64-ab-gogapps.img ) with limited Gapps support<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Debloat<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    One challenge with GSIs is the ever-shifting goalpost with Bank apps, WhatsApp, Play Integrity, etc. There are workarounds, but I opted to debloat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I created a debloat.bat<\/a> file with the following contents:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
