This game is hard... so many un-un-installable applications, system critical apps built with bloat as a dependencies,

Make sure you don't accidentally get talked into dropping the Accessiblity though. Almost get me but I read the Carta description

"Accessibility settings (useful for apps creating virtual buttons such as a pie-menu) Weirdly, removing this package can cause a bootloop if you set a lock code on your phone. Also used for clearing system cache from apps such as SD-Maid."
