1 day ago I am trying to debloat by Samsung A71. I can successfully debloat most, but there's this weird "Emergency Alerts" app which just cannot get removed. On every reboot, DB just says that it's scheduled to be removed on next reboot.
Looking into it, this app lives in a directory called 'apex', which appears to be some odd install-on-load system. Is this truly out of reach of de-bloater, or is it just a matter of simply adding a new dir to where it expects apps to be ?
I want to remove this app because it has a load of permissions that I never granted and which can not be disabled, as the toggles are greyed out.
I know I can disable WEAs; that's not what I'm asking: I am trying to wipe the app.
Thanks for this issue. Aa per the Magisk/Kernel SU documentation, it can't (so, De-Bloater too) really debloat apps from every location. There is nothing wrong in trying, anyway. If you are interested, please try to create a dummy file (just a text file with ".apk". extension) with exactly same path under "/data/adb/modules/De-Bloater" (e.g., if you want to remove an app located at "/system/apex/app.apk", you should make the following dummy file "/data/adb/modules/De-Bloater/system/apex/app.apk".
