Our old device smooth with debloating. Cleaning things up - better to put it here. Shame and blame on me. Had it in the weekly section...

So the slow under-ram-ed mobile is running really fine with the new swap-idea (Memory Extension)!

Some mentioned Gallery in the recent weeklies. It's laggy and battery draining on my device so one of the first things I backup and delete by script along many other apps. it's replaced with the orange one from simplemobiletoolsDOTcom which does an excellent job.
The miui scanner app never worked on mine and several other annoying things, like using nextcloud, so I don't need the miui "notes" app on my phone. Prefer K9Mail etc. etc.

I have to stress out it's NOT to blame the wonderful work of the Devs here, alright?!

As my phone is kept unrooted I have to do changes in TWRP.
Gonna share my easy script here as an

IDEA! DO NOT USE IT AS IS!

E.g. take care with Mms app as you gonna need it, when you wanna replace it with "signal" to receive a confirmation SMS :-/ - once I had to facepalm myself, haha.
In the system folder in "afterinst" on the sdcard1 are beside busybox fresh /system/etc/hosts several ringtones and so on.
After usual dirty flashing
I just execute it in the TWRP Terminal with "sh /sdcard1/scriptnamewhatever.sh" and it never let me down, yet.

Once again, take it as inspiration, nothing else please! I'm not responsible, when your device reaches critical mass and causes a thermonuclear disaster!
