Hello,
I’d like to free up space on my S5 and I was wondering if and how it is possible to remove the applications that e ships with. For instance I’d like to remove MagicEarth because I use Comaps.
Thoughts anyone?
Many thanks
one way (that i use as well) is to remove them for the user with ADB commands:
to find the named:
adb shell pm list packages | grep e.foundation
and then to remove them.
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 <package_name>
it does not remove it 100% but would uninstall hence saving alot of space and clutter, works very well.
other solutions could be to remove them when building up the ROM editing the manifest file, but that’s high techy, OR to remove later with the root, which i don’t prefer either. so just uninstalling gets the job done for me.
just realized that magic earth won’t show up under:
adb shell pm list packages | grep e.foundation
because it is not an /e/ foundation app. it is: com.generalmagic.magicearth (in my case, you can go to the app info, scroll the way down and see which package is that, would be same most likely)
It is more about the behaviour to have it recovered properly for when a system update (OTA) happens not to have a screwed situation but well that goes with messing on the system with adb.
When other users read here, they will just redo the steps but not know that it means in the future .
