Android/Building/SystemAPPs
System APPs
Android system APPs are these APPs which are installed in system partition. Since system partition is read only at runtime, thus the system APPs are not remove-able for general user.
Add/Remove system APP
In general, there are two ways to add/remove system applications.
- At build time
- At runtime
This relies on Android OTA update system which allow the system reboots into recovery mode then mount system partition as rw to apply system application changes. XO-4 does not support runtime system partition update since recovery mode haven't been implemented.
