Trouble with removing QuickSearchBox on TCL

General
1

The method i use to remove the browser, sms, gallery…

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /
rm -rf /system/app/FileManager
rm -rf /system/app/JrdGallery

does not work when i try to remove QuickSearchBox

rm -rf /system/product/app/QuickSearchBox/QuickSearchBox.apk
i get a read only error
when i try to remove from the phone itself using root explorer it works without issue

P.S. i have no idea what the quick search does it just looks scary when youre giving someone a filtered phone and they see something that says google search

ro2rw magisk module

It already is rw what’s the point?

4

with the module?

5

I usually remove it with NeutronScott’s recovery image.
Or use FX file manager to remount it

6

That doesn’t always help. The sepolicy restricts it and the module allows it.

Works for me on TCLs

Didn’t say that it doesn’t work on TCLs.

It does if you ran
/vendor/bin/write_protect 0

Sorry i dont really get the whole back and forth! (i hope its all in jest). but my question remains is there a reason why davka this app wont remove with the standard commands. ( i already have an alternate solution but id rather not have to install another app … and then remove it before handing over a filtered phone.
(also as an aside what exactly is neutrons recovery image is it a super with some special features)
Looking forward to your ROMs

Just go adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.blabla.com

(or magisk module…)

The uninstall command doesn’t work on tcl.
run that command that he said then use a root file manger to delete it from product

18

Thats what i do. But what could be the reason that this app is different than the browser that i cant remove with adb command

19

Don’t know maybe you have to mount product because it is a different location

If you want to just disable it on the phone:
pm disable-user com.android.quicksearchbox. If you want me to guide you on how to remove it from product using Neutron Scott’s recovery, let me know

If it doesn’t take much time i would appreciate a guide using netrons recovery. but not an emergency i have it figured out another way.
is there a simple way to pull a rom off a phone once i have it set up the way i want and then just use that to set up other phones
