Can I Delete the Weather widget

Don’t know how to remove widget, but app can be removed using an adb shell:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 foundation.e.weather

Hi Veehem,
I can’t find any place to download Trebuchet. Please advise.

How should I “use an adb shell”?

Did you delete the Weather app?
And nothing bad happened? :slight_smile:

Thank you very much :slightly_smiling_face::grinning::slightly_smiling_face:

Open a cmd window on Windows, or terminal on Linux.
shell

Nothing bad happened… except the black hole in the garden :wink:

Do I need to sign in as root first?

No you don’t have to do that, do as you can see in the picture.

Mhh. Not working for me.

Any idea why? Thanks!

I suspect there’s a minus sign missing from the command: - -user

$ pm uninstall -k --user 0 foundation.e.weather

Try it again.


Thank you, @andrelam

My attempt was successful.

The number of apps was reduced by one.

But icon “Weather” is still displayed inside “Apps”
Additional text:

Weather
0 B
Not installed for users

Is that right?

A single “minus” ("-") sign in front of k, but double in front of user ?

Yes, see also screenshot in answer #10 by @andrelam

Welcome, yes i noticed that too, don’t know if that’s normal. This is the only way i know of at the moment. In the future they will be uninstallable, be patient :grinning:

Thank you for “Welcome”. Well, I’m in good spirits about /e/ in 2020. A default option to uninstall /e/ apps is the only way to go instead of just disabling or deleting them. Right now /e/ is just an interesting game for me. And I’m practicing patience ;o)

I’ve learned a little something new. The adb command => pm list packages|grep -i weather

shows me these 4 packages:

package: org.lineageos.openweathermapprovider
package: foundation.e.weather
package: org.cyanogenmod.weatherservice
package: org.cyanogenmod.weather.provider

Well, it was uninstalled a few days ago => foundation.e.weather

Now I uninstalled the other 3 apps as well and reboot. Yeah /e/ boots as usual.

And see there: The above mentioned icon “Weather” and the additional text (Weather 0 B Not installed for users) is no longer available.

I can’t (yet) estimate the effects of uninstalling on the system. Let’s see what it looks like after the next /e/ update.

Hi @archie did you install the new system update? Any problem due to having previously wiped out the stupid weather app? Thx.

Hello @dotcoma. No, so far I can’t see any problems. /e/ OS Update - OTA - accepts the non-existence of the weather app and takes this into account, which means the W-app will not be installed again.

How to open a cmd windows on the smartphone, please?

You can’t. CMD command prompt is a Windows® specific thing. With an Android Terminal Emulator App, you can emulate e.g. a VT-100 terminal to access the command line on the smartphone.
