Hi i just rooted my phone with the neutron img and have access to adb because my tcl is on kefh. the regular adb commands to uninstall the browser aren’t working because there is no package called android.browser but is called something else. i tried uninstalling the browser package but it didnt work. i am sure this is because the phone is rooted can someone tell me how to remove the browser with adb i think this is a fairly simple question but haven’t found any info on the forum

thank you

The package name is `org.chromium.chrome`

And you can’t uninstall it, you can delete it from system, if I remember correctly, it’s in `system/app/chromium/chromium.apk`

`adb shell su -c mount -o remount,rw / && rm -rf /system/app/chromium`

Pretty sure thats the correct path, if it’s not run `pm path org.chromium.chrome` and delete that

But there’s no reason to rely on ADB to block browser, there are plenty of free MDMs.

If you delete it with root it’s a lot stronger then “blocking” it…

Getting this error

```auto
‘/dev/block/dm-2’ is read-only
‘rm’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file

```

Saw other post about making it read and write looks very complicated

I could use a MDM but want to remove the browser icon as well

I think a mdm would get rid of the icon as well.

I tried adb shell su /vendor/bin/write\_protect 0 reboot a few times and it didn’t work. Credits to @FliphoneBochur for those commands.
