How Do you remove all those unwanted apps?
Titanium takes forever just to uninstall one app for me.
How do you do it using ADB or Terminal?
Titanium takes about 3 seconds for me if that, don't know how to do it with adb though.
I did this a while back, Maybe useful for you:

Lol I tried that, but it kept saying permission denied or something like that.
2.1 seems a bit buggy at the moment so may just have been that.
I've been freezing the apps I'm thinking of getting rid of to ensure removing them won't cause problems. If I don't run into any issues over a few days, I'll wipe em.
Might be a nice idea to get a list of what apps can and can't be deleted in 2.1 though.
Just delete the apks and factory reset

I deleted some wallpaper application and while I, unfortunately, cannot recall its name it basically disabled the feature to have any wallpaper at all and just resets everything by default to the stock blue one. Could anyone upload the file? That would be greatly appreciated.

i had this problem. but i found the solution to be:
after rooting, uncheck debugging, reload titanium (use builtin app function), enable debugging again.
Contacts.apk
Someone has that one ?

I deleted ATT Navigator etc. I don't really remember, but I did make a backup.
I forgot the program that lets you access root from computer, and I don't know where the backup files are (SGS Tools default).
How would you get the backup to load up? Please help me
In sgs tools there is an option to restore backups

I can access apps that are already running on "Ongoing" by clicking on them, but I cannot access application page.
Everything is running, but I just can't open them, because I cannot access application page to run SGS Tools.
Can you use the search key to search for SGS tools? It should come up under applications if it is installed.

Hi Guys,
Every ROM I flash I try to Freeze/Uninstall and remove from Boot Many, the YouTube App.
I don;t use it ever, but even if it says freezed successfully it still comes back after reboot.
What's so special about it and will it creat a problem if I delete it and main question is how?
Thank you

In my other android device experience, Nook Color / Simple Touch, YouTube is instrumental in the Google Apps authentication process. For instance to get market working on nooted versions of those devices you had to sign into YouTube first.
Why are you trying to get rid of it?

Never used it, if I need to I can view it in the brother. Just another app that loads up on boot and sits there using the battery

Fair enough. Why don't you give it a try? Make a nandroid backup and then delete the file via ADB in recovery mode (or move it to /data/local/tmp for easy restore). Clear Cache / Dalvik reboot and see if anything isn't working properly.
I would say you can delete via ADB in ICS but many people, myself included, are having issues mounting /system in ICS. It could be possible that this failure for /system to consistently mount could be why TiBu isn't freezing it properly.
Use root uninstaller, its how I have removed all system apps since my gb 2.3.1 days on my x10. A very effective method
Thank you for responces.
The proper way I found would be to transfer it to a User App and uninstall.

I use 7zip. open the archive and delete it, or add whatever .apk you desire. I always do this before I even flash a rom. Winrar should work fine, though.

To remove the notification go to settings/application manager/all/scroll down to software update and disable it.

If you have ES File explorer and have all the root permissions checked for the app,I think you could do a search for it if you know what it was called?Or maybe an advanced search in ESF by date?

How do you know it even downloaded? If it downloaded I think it would apply the update immediately.Check in your about settings maybe it is already running the update.OTA updates won't delete your settings or apps or anything like that.

no, it never installed only downloaded because it prompt me to install the update then gave me a option to remind later and then stayed in my notification bar.
Hopefully someone will be able to figure it out. Afraid I'm out of suggestions.

Try the DiskUsage app - it may show you where your 400Mb update is hiding.

I used titanium backup. I can't remeber the specific name but it was def along the lines of software package update or upgrade. This was back when I had that 75 mb update that kept annoying me to install every 3 hours.

that didn't work, but i did use a program called file explorer fx and went into this folder here:
root/cache/fota
the file is called "update.zip" long pressed on the file and selected details, it was 400mb, deleted it after that.

Just installed Butterz Sense on my HTC Evo V 4G (Awesome ROM), but I elected to try out Facebook Home... Someone help me remove it now? It's not in my list of apps to remove, never ran in to this before... Do I really need to re-install the ROM without selecting FaceBook Home?
Any help appreciated!
Does titanium backup find your app? If not, go to /system/app and if it's there, delete it. Be sure not to delete something else.

Ah, I didn't think about using TB! Thanks a bunch, that gave me the option of removing it :good:
I deleted the stock File-explorer via ADB because I didn't like the way it looked, nor how it displayed hidden folders. Everything looked cluttered, and a bit suffocating. So, I found a File-explorer that I liked, I believe off of F-Droid, uninstalled the stock, and started to use that instead. However, many apps require the stock File-explorer to do certain things, like set download directories. Like I said, I no longer have the stock File-explorer, and I'd really hate to have to go back to it. So, is there any way, using ADB, or maybe even Root, to set the File-Explorer I downloaded as default? A response will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading.
Why do you need to be so extreme?
Don't like it, then don't use it.
You didn't really have to remove it.

I dislike having Apps on my Phone that I don't use. It's not extreme. It doesn't take much effort to use ADB to remove Google, along with other apps, that are simply Bloatware. If I won't use it, I'll remove it.

I appreciate the help, but this, unfortunately, does not resolve my issue. What I mean is that I would like to change the default File Manager App to the one I have downloaded, rather than the Stock File Manager App, which I no longer have on my Phone, as I have removed it via ADB commands. Any ideas/possible solutions? Thanks.

So, going to system settings>apps and then pressing the 3 dot/3 line menu button then selecting the option to "reset app preferences" and then going and trying to open a file doesn't give you prompt to choose which you app to use and give the choice between "just once" or "always"?
What I posted should have nothing to do with whether you have the stock file manager installed or not.

I'll try it, but I doubt that it'll work. Uninstalling the Stock should have essentially done the same thing, without resetting all the preferences. Still, I'll give it a go, just in case it works.
Did it work ,how did you solve the issue ?
