/e/OS Devices UnOfficial Builds

Well, it’s very easy to make unneeded pre-installed apps “unusable” by disabling or uninstalling them for current use.

Let’s take a quick look at the apps pre-installed by /e/:

Find application packages with specific keyword filters. In my case foundation

adb shell pm list packages foundation

package:foundation.e.drive
package:foundation.e.notes
package:foundation.e.tasks
package:foundation.e.browser
package:foundation.e.calendar
package:foundation.e.blisslauncher
package:foundation.e.message
package:foundation.e.apps
package:foundation.e.mail
package:foundation.e.blissiconpack
package:foundation.e.pwaplayer
package:foundation.e.advancedprivacy
package:foundation.e.camera
package:foundation.e.accountmanager
package:foundation.e.splitinstall.service
package:foundation.e.webcalendarmanager
package:foundation.e.pdfviewer

Now I can deactivate one or the other app, for example:

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 foundation.e.browser
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 foundation.e.apps

OR

uninstall:

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 foundation.e.browser
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 foundation.e.apps

From now on, the two app icons are not visible in the /e/ homescreen - and can no longer be operated.
