I’m not using Calendar. I’d like to remove it but it’s impossible. Deactivating it is not possible either and if I forbid it to access my data I’m getting an “Etar requires… blah blah blah” error.
Why on earth isn’t it possible to remove an app in an OS like e/os??? I thought we were free to choose! Is it just talk?
Please allow removing all apps! All of them!
Thank you.

The reason is that such apps have been installed within the build as a System app. Within Android, loosely speaking, System apps belong to root rather than the user.
/e/OS takes as a high priority to make the phone accessible as an “all purpose” device to new users.
Because new users cannot install apps? They need apps already installed for them? No, they don’t.
So install the Calendar App you do like, then don’t us the stock Calendar.
you’ll have double alerts if you install 2 calendar apps - permissions: make calendar notifications user-mutable (!232) · Merge requests · e / os / android_vendor_eos · GitLab
You can uninstall every app on your device for the current user (→you!).
You will find the information here in the forum (use “search”!), how to use “adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 foundation.e.calendar” to remove the calendar (or other apps). On my device none of the system apps is installed, because I’m using the Proton Universe and the Brave Browser.
But beware that you know, what you’re doing!
Thank you!
I’ve done the search you mentioned and found this: https://community.e.foundation/t/duplicate-calendar-app-notifications-because-of-default-calendar/41978/4
It looks like a console command but it doesn’t say how to use it. How do I bring up the console on my phone?
Have a look at this thread:

Thank you! I’ll try it and come back here.
