EWS disable what you can using built-in toggles. Removing system apps corrupt integrity of the OS and disrupt functionality of other apps. And as someone pointed out by trying to remove/removing essential components you will be no longer running Graphene and can no longer expect the same level functionality and most importantly support.

    EWS I removed some system files/apps

    How exactly did you remove them?

            Hi de0u!
            You seem to know some things about this so i ask you is it posible to get get this to work buy disabeling integrity protection even tho i anderstand its a good thing could it solve this isue for now?

            Best Regards

                EWS I am not an expert, but I think your next move would be trying to restore an intact OS image. The safest path would be creating a Matrix account and getting real-time advice on the GrapheneOS channels. An alternative would be these directions: https://grapheneos.org/usage#updates-sideloading

                I hope you can restore your device to operation, and hopefully without losing your data.

                    EWS USB debugging is not enough to uninstall system applications. At best, you can DISABLE them.

                    The system partition is immutable on a running system.

                        That make sense. How would you say is the correct way to remove them and is it possible to do this and still be abel to reboot the phone without resetting it

                            EWS The correct way to remove or replace your system apps is to compile the OS yourself without them or with replacements.

                            Some of the apps can't be removed without causing breakage, and if you touch them or compile an OS for yourself with any changes, you shouldn't expect troubleshooting help from GrapheneOS community because GrapheneOS warns users to not touch system apps, and if you compile an OS for yourself with any changes, then it's not GrapheneOS anymore; it's a fork of GrapheneOS.

                                I dont expect anything Lucas, It was i question if some one dont want to answer it its fine. If it is a fork is ok for me

                                    EWS There is no other way to remove system apps except by building the OS from source without them.
                                    (You could use a user debug build too.)

                                        EWS don't remove system apps just disable them. Use 3rd party replacements for your system apps to your liking. What is the problem?

                                            @EWS why do you want to uninstall those apps in the first place, though?

                                                If they can't be disabled without breaking things, then they also can't be left out during a build without breaking things.

                                                    Actually the phone works perfect without the system apps the problem is the integrity check when rebooting the device. Everything is fine as long as the device is not rebooted. note that i only use 2-3 apps.

                                                        Why would i want the posibility of the screen to be recorded or to recive messages from the president, yest to examples

                                                            You're like a driver, who has no knowledge or understanding of how the internals of a car work, removing car components because you "don't want to use them" - what's this wire? I don't need it - yank! Good luck

                                                                    Modern cars, like modern software, are full of interdependency. When a car starts up with something removed, there may errors and warnings, and sometimes will refuse to start. Components that you would think should not prevent operation, may still include critical system dependencies. You can't just go pulling out components.
                                                                    System components may not be needed for their stated purpose, but there are likely to include subcomponents that others depend on.
