Need a follow up on this, since I’ve always assumed that package is essential.

Is this on a Pixel?
What happens to the space where the search bar is on the launcher?
Does it break anything else?

Nah, I have a non-unlockable Xperia, otherwise I’d just flash custom firmware
I don’t remember the search bar, it disappears i guess. The circle button that used to summon assistant now does nothing
Deleting this package is safe. Just don’t delete system-related packages. Once I was cleaning up someone’s Xiaomi and tried to delete its antivirus with adb. It was stuck in boot loop after that so i had to do hard reset (deleting all data)
