Apps get installed as system apps again #515

Open zstrobe opened 1 year ago

zstrobe commented 1 year ago

Used the debloater to uninstall some system apps, they get removed but when the app gets installed from Play Store, it gets installed as a system app again.

Consider disabling the app, instead of uninstalling the app. In the settings of UAD you can turn on disabling instead of uninstalling.

Thanks for your response. That didn't help because when I want to install it again as a non-system app, it's just an option to enable it (which is still a system app)

Ah, that I think is not possible. Some apps are just system apps and the default app can't be changed.
