What it does

Joyose is a hidden Xiaomi service tied to performance tuning. Community testers describe it as fetching per-app profiles from Xiaomi and adjusting CPU, GPU and frame-rate behavior for games and other demanding apps, partly to manage heat. Some report it held games at 60 frames per second when a higher refresh rate was chosen. It runs in the background and checks in with Xiaomi's servers.

If you disable it

Xiaomi's per-game tuning stops, so games may run hotter or cooler and at different frame rates than before. Test your usual games after disabling it, and enable it again if the phone overheats.

How to disable it

On most phones Settings greys out Disable for this package, so ADB is the way to turn it off. The commands below work without root and can be undone.

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.xiaomi.joyose

adb shell pm enable com.xiaomi.joyose

The stronger option removes it for your user only; the original copy stays on the phone and a factory reset brings it back. Prefer disabling: it is easier to undo.

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.joyose

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.xiaomi.joyose

New to ADB? Set it up in about ten minutes.

Data and battery

Community testers report it downloads tuning profiles and reports which apps are running so the right profile applies; Xiaomi has not documented it publicly.

Often listed among background services that wake the phone; disabling it can change battery use while gaming in either direction.
