There are too many apps. :sweat:
You need to remove these apps by yourself.
This is a demo for removing the Launcher3 application

diff --git a/kvim/product/product.mk b/kvim/product/product.mk

Hallo @Terry,

Form the folder “/kvim/product/product.mk”, I could not find the whole list of the Apps. In which folder that I can find it? Should I change the CMake file in order to build the image?. Thanks for your help.

That’s too more, you need to search it on SDK source code, The easy way to do it is deleting the Android.mk file in application path.

Thanks a lot, I will try it later. I still have another question >> How to add the android app (apk file) which I had already created to the pre-built or pre_installed app?

You only need to copy your apk into the path device/khadas/kvim1/preinstall

You need to modify your application, and you can search BOOT_COMPLETED by google

Hallo Terry,

This one is done in my app. After first running, the app is automatically start after the boot completed. The thing is I have to at least tap/run the app after the first booting. Maybe there is a way that the app is atuomatically run after first booting so I do not need to tap the app. I had already tried to change the product.mk by replacing the Launcher3 with my app but it did not work. It is important for us, regarding the production aspect. It will save a lot of time.

Is your application as a Launcher application? You need to change your application property on AndroidManifest.xml file.

<category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />

I think you can search it by google.
