Lounge wants to update uninstalled apps

Regain your priv

I had installed Google and Recognition so I could use Android Auto.

then I deleted them to use another method.

app loung absolutely wants to update them, these two apps are not in the list of applications.

.acy! Adopt /e/OS the deGoogled mobile OS and online services

Sometimes a Google dependent app might be able to install itself as a System app (even with a confusingly different name, I once saw with a Google dependent “SIM manager”)

Settings > Apps > All apps > top right 3 dot menu > Show system.

If not found for uninstall there; two possibilities

The app Package manager Play store link, link is expected to open in App Lounge.

Or using adb from a PC, a manual here ADB Shell - Android ADB Commands Manual

Look for the apps with a variant of pm list referenced in section Package Manager, also listed there is adb uninstall

speech recogniton&synthes =com.google.android.tts
the order :adb devices sends me back a number
In the adb shell list, I have com.google.android.tts
when I do: adb uninstall com.google.android.tts
I have this message :/system/bin/sh: adb: inaccessible or not found
?

Maybe a glance at the manual?

You could try

adb shell pm list packages

List packages pm or list packages pm from the adb shell release me the same list, the problem is: /system/bin/sh: adb: inaccessible or not found.
Could it be a residue from uninstall apps?
And if so, could a file cleaner do it?
INFO: when I update one of these apps, at the end it reminds me to try again?

Android relies very heavily on Android packaging. So my suggestion had been to look for packages. Edit beware of messing with something which has not identified itself as a package … you have started from a point not using Package manager.

System packages on my Moto from

adb shell pm list packages -s

which include “Google” are

package:com.google.android.gms
package:com.google.android.gsf

We know these belong to microG.
I also have (would not be found on regular /e/OS)

package:com.google.android.apps.googlecamera.fishfood

which belongs to a Google Camera Ports Download.

Uninstalling system packages would require root and carries a risk to the system.

Hmmm … the point of Android packages is for them not to come apart (in normal use).

Your first mentioned com.google.android.tts belongs to Text to Speak. Your message does not include whether it is the package. Maybe do as I demonstrated above … have you found an app installed as system? or is it not a package at all?

Can you find the AppID of these apps, so that you are looking for them specifically?


/system/bin/sh: adb: inaccessible or not found … can mean requires root.

I followed your method: adb shell pm list packages -s
I found both packages in the list and the command: adb uninstall worked
thank you
