I have a rooted OnePlus 5t, I'm trying to remove the Chrome app (same problem with Google Duo), using a system app remover, or through Total Commander delete it from its folder. As soon as I do that the app stops working, and after rebooting it always goes back to the folder: system \ product \ app \ Chrome \ Chrome.apk

If I'm typing in adb: pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.chrome and delete the Chrome.apk with Total Commander - the app is removed from my device even after reboot! but the installation apk still coming back after the reboot!!!! When I'm installing the app from the Chrome.apk the apk path know is: \data\app\com.android.chorme-zqnclvqlfjlosvpkkista==\base.apk

I googled and found no answer

  • /system is the system partition which is read-only. If you uninstall an app the apk on the system partition will always stay instead the app is just disabled. – Robert Apr 27 '21 at 12:04
  • I root my device for a reason... Is there any way to delete it permanently? I am a SU... – Joe Apr 27 '21 at 12:21
  • Even on rooted devices the system partition is read-only, however with root permissions you can remount the partition read/write. Please be aware that removing web browser/WebView providing app may end up in a non-booting device. – Robert Apr 27 '21 at 12:24

    You can simply search this site for system remount and end up e.g. here: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/109655/remount-system-rw – Robert Apr 27 '21 at 12:35
  • WOW ty! I'm trying that right know... I saw solution with adb, is there a way to do it with the TWRP? – Joe Apr 27 '21 at 12:43
  • The TWRP versions I know have a button for remounting system partition. – Robert Apr 27 '21 at 12:47
