如何在AOSP构建中隐藏已安装的应用程序？

Question

I need to hide an installed app (eg Settings, Calendar), in AOSP build, for example, the app shouldn't be listed in launcher to user. Any ideias?

Answer 1

Here is the path for all the pre-loaded application. These apps can be removed from the PRODUCT_PACKAGES list.

/device/qcom/common/base.mk

PRODUCT_PACKAGES := \
    Calendar \
    Settings \

This will remove the apk from the system image itself. If you want to remove only from the launcher then you may need to make changes in launcher app or either Calendar and Settings apps.
