Mi Box 3 Oreo - Is it possible to disable 'Xiaomi Recommends' like you could in 6.1?

by xevilrobotx

In 6.1 you just disabled the xiaomi leanback customizer, but this doesn't seem to be a system app in Oreo. Anybody know what app to disable now, or is it no longer possible?

Thanks!

EDIT: I'm talking about the list at the bottom of the 'Apps' page when you open that in Oreo (by scrolling to the left and clicking on the circle with the 9 dots), like this page (Except mine has a 'Xiaomi Recommends' section underneath the games section:

EDIT 2:

Took a photo of it (don't know how to do a screenshot on it), it actually resides between apps and games:

I had it disabled before the upgrade, and, thankfully, it's nowhere to be found now.

I looked, but couldn't find the system app that puts it up there. I think they unfortunately baked it into the OS. If I'm wrong and you find a way to remove it, please let me know.

Yes! If you are on the lastest Oreo build 2396 currently then you simply need to use adb. You can use adb through wifi on the Mibox3 out of the box. Then you need to use adb shell command pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.leanbacklauncher.recommendations and then pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.android.tvsetup.partnercustomizer

That will effectively get rid of the Mibox recommendations bar completely unless you factory reset which then you just need to do the above steps again.

I only see recommends in the hold of the center button it's not on my main screen

Hope this is still applicable
