com.motorola.paks protected by ADB -- Moto G ...etc. phone

[equwal]

Describe the bug If you have the adb program installed then you can't uninstall the OEM bloatware pack. And that is the point of this program, especially with a naughtly OEM like motorolla.

Phone -- Moto G Power (2022) Tonga XT2165-5 US/RETUS ; Android 11.

Expected behavior Uninstall the bloat.

You have a solution? Use the F-Droid De-Bloater APK, or the sDebloater magisk module with entry PAKS. Block it at runtime.
