"tel-app -r" uninstalls apps now

[eltroniq]

Restructured source code of tel-app to add an option for uninstalling apps (using androids built-in package installer) while avoiding redundancy. Help message was updated. Tested functionality and everything should work as expected.

Great idea + thanks for contributing. Unfortunately the am command appears not to do anything on my current (old) device (android 9, lineage os) could this be the installer package activity?

works on my device... ;)

I'm also on Android 9, SyberiaOS. Looks like they removed the "-n" from "am" command (works for me tho).

@SealedJoy Can you please try following and give me feedback, if it works:

am start -d <package_name> com.android.packageinstaller/.UninstallerActivity

I also found another way, maybe this is a better approach:

am start -a android.intent.action.DELETE -d package:<package_name>

Your script changes work for me on android 11, the first command you posted also works, the second doesnt.

@SealedJoy what about you?

[SealedJoy]

first didn't work for me, (now on android 12) but the second new method worked perfectly! can i suggest you submit the changes to the t-e-l/bin repo as this is one tel-update fetches from. or if you prefer, shoot a pm and i can sort it out

[eltroniq]

sorry, i'm a bit confused.

this is what i understand:

am start -d <package_name> com.android.packageinstaller/.UninstallerActivity
works for you @v1nc on android 11, but not for you @SealedJoy on android 12.

am start -a android.intent.action.DELETE -d package:<package_name>
works for @SealedJoy, but not for @v1nc.

do i get this right?
maybe we need to choose the executed command regarding the android version, is there a variable set in zsh by TEL containing this?

btw, found the proper command for getting the android version:

echo $(printf "%.1s" "$(getprop ro.build.version.release)")

now I still need to know for which android version exactly which command is working
