removing packages

even removing system packages is possible, e.g. if you do not like the Apps package within /e/ OS you can specify EXTENDROM_PACKAGES="noEOSappstore" in your device/<vendor>/<model>/vendorsetup.sh and it will be removed.

if you want to remove something else which is currently not supported (current list here): open vendor/extendrom/extra/Android.mk and

• copy/paste (e.g.) the noEOSappstore block
• change the LOCAL_MODULE name to whatever you like (e.g. noWHATEVER)
• LOCAL_OVERRIDES_PACKAGES must match the LOCAL_MODULE name of what you want to remove
• add the LOCAL_MODULE name you specified in you device/<vendor>/<model>/vendorsetup.sh (e.g. EXTENDROM_PACKAGES="noWHATEVER")

Keep in mind that removing system apps like that can easily lead to a non-bootable system if there are dependencies you forgot to take care of.
