Arcane and Delta Chat can't be uninstalled #178

Description

@Wjanek

Once Arcane/Delta Chat app was installed the app couldn't be uninstalled by standard methods: sliding the icon into "uninstall" doesn't uninstall it, request "uninstall" in Settings doesn't uninstall it because package installer stops working. Disconecting Wifi, clearing app cash and data and re-booting the phone didn't help - I managed to remove stuborn app only by restoring smartphone's image I had luckily made before installation using TWRP.
No standard method of uninstallation (as all other custom apps can

) is unacceptable.
