Hello all :=)
Thought i would give a small quick guide for you hehe.
Ofc root your phone before this :=)
Step1.
Install Titanium Backup from market.
Step2. Start it.
step 3 Firstly, after you run Titanium Backup you need to tap on "Problems?" and accept to download BusyBox.
Step 4. Keep your finger pressed on the app you want removed.
step5. On the bottom of the options that comes up you find force remove app.
That simple it is
Im aware of some people have posted this in threads and such, but i thought i would make a simple straight forward guide for them that did not know about titanium backup
Warning
This will stop the OTA updates for your phones.
You will need to download the ZIP for the update when it's released here to update.
Or the RUU
The guide is incomplete. Firstly, after you run Titanium Backup you need to tap on "Problems?" and accept to download BusyBox.

TY

You need to have the newest TitBackup 3.5.7.3 to do that. Then remember not to use Uninstall option but you need to keep your finger for a little longer to see full list of options and then select force to remove using Paul's recovery.
Thread stuck.
Works great!
Got it working now Is it true that if there's a new ota we need to flash this rom from scratch to be allowed to get the update?
/CK
Thanks fir this update.
So you guys removed which apps?
Other threads have reported that you may not be able to download future Android updates (OTA) if you remove apps. Is this confirmed?
Maybe issue a warning in first post to avoid problems later?

Relax, no need to bite my head off....
I was only asking, because this thread which has been made sticky does not mention this issue at all.
Others may use this guide and not be aware of this fact.

I see no point in having apps that I don't use. I prefer to have this space for things that I use. It's simple. No one is forcing you to remove anything.

Apps you install cannot use the space freed up with removing stock apps so it's useless. I rather freeze them with Titanium Backup and they're removed from the launcher and don't use system resources.

You are right, I forgot that they are on different partitions. But anyway - I prefer to remove them. You prefer to freeze them - fine. It's everybody's choice.

I use Root Uninstaller. You can also uninstall system apps (be really careful) through Titanium Backup and a number of other file managers with root access.
Thx ! =) tried and successed
I know your question has been answered, but, you can also freeze stock apps with TitaniumBackup in case you're hesitant in completely removing them.

Yes that's a good option, that or renaming the old one.
I read that some people were installing Swype from a titanium backup after rooting. Is there anyway to install Swype without root? Is there any word if Swype is going to support the One S in the future?
Thanks

You need a copy of the installer and the app from another device and side load it.
You run the installer and then it says it fails. You then install the app itself. Go back to run the installer and this time it goes and lets you choose it and select it.
No root.
If you can't get a hold of the app or installer, I might be able to upload it.
If you could upload them that would be awesome. Or if you want to just email them to me let me know.
Thanks for the quick reply!

Yep thanks, it's on the second page of that.
Perfect, just wrote this reply with Swype! Thanks for your help!
I want to use the stock rooted version located in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984436&page=18
I have a couple questions:
I want to use the "wipe" version, to try and get rid of some battery issues. I do not want to wipe the sd card. I use it strictly for storage of music & pic.....no apps. Can I remove the sd card and do the stock rooted, and then just put the sd card back in?
Secondly, will stock rooted allow me the ability to get rid of bloatware? Media hub, allshare, etc? My device is discharging at about 5% per hour which I find high. I've disabled a host of things to try and get this down, plus I'd just like to have more control on what's on my phone.
Brand new to rooting android ( used to root my blackberry and Motorazor back in the day) and I didn't see any specific answers to these questions.
Thanks in advance!
Yes to both questions. You may want to find a list of bloatware apps that are safe to remove/freeze before deleting apps.

Once you root, use Titanium Backup to uninstall bloatware, but only those on the safe list.

I highly recommended that you use Titanium to freeze the unwanted apps, but NOT uninstall them. You may need them back later for new software update. Freezing is very safe as you always can unfreeze them. Once you froze the app, it only take up a tiny little space on your storage but the benefit goes a long way.
Hey guys, I sharing debloating script for those interested in a higly DEBLOATED LP installation, very slimmed down, battery friendly, faster, with less RAM comsuption etc
It will remove everything that is not important so before proceding be sure to backup full system
RESULT
As said at the top, you'll get a very slimmed down LP FW, battery friendly, very fast, with less RAM comsuption etc
Of course, everything is working great here, I mean all the features I need/use!
you are going to delete more than 160 packages in total with all relevant libs/stuff plus all applications automatically installed by Sony
HOW TO RESTORE SOMETHING
PS. of course I also removed from my FW all the stuff that can be easily downloaded from the Play Store (Gmail, etc)
below you will find the restoring instructions you need to follow to restore any package you may want back
According to what you want to restore, you have to follow two different procedures:
- all the APKs that are inside /system/__Backup/various/etc_custom_apps and /system/__Backup/various/etc_prod_apps are regular APKs that are going to be installed in /data, so you can just run them and then select "install" like a normal APK, easy. You will then see them in Settings > applications > downloaded
- instead, all the things in /system/__Backup/system_app and /system/
__Backup/system_priv-app folders can't be normally installed, but must be restored in the correct /system folders with correct permissions. To do this, see the step-by-step instructions below (in the following example, I am going to restore Chrome app in /system/app and Velvet (Google Search) in /system/priv-app, but of course you can restore how many things as you want at the same time)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- with a root file manager like ES, go to /system/__Backup/system_app and MOVE the whole "Chrome" folder to /system/app
- with a root file manager like ES, go to /system/__Backup/system_priv-app and MOVE the whole "Velvet" folder to /system/priv-app
- reboot
- done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
PS. don't copy but MOVE things back, or permissions will get messed up and you are likely to end up in a bootloop!
Requirements:
- working recovery
- be on LP already, 5.0.2 or 5.1.1, doesn't matter
DISCLAIMER
If you apply my script again please take care I did a pretty massive debloat as I don't use a lot of stuff (social apps, small apps, many of the sony "addons"/special settings etc!!) and this is a working config for me, but for others some functionalities will be probably missing, so mind what you do before apply them! (but again you can restore anything anytime, if interested just go for it)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation:
1. full nandroid backup to eventually go back to previous any time
2. wipe data, cache and dalvik ***
3. flash debloating script
4. that's all! reboot/enjoy and hit thanks

So as far as any external application goes, it would think this looks like a non custom rom.
There is a popular apk at the moment that denies working because you have a custom rom or if your rooted

Pokémon Go knows if your phone is rooted or a custom rom and won't load.
Do I need to root my phone?
Is all that happens is that things are deleted and not a customisation?

I don't think this will happen.. Because it is not a custom rom and also this is not root.. This only need recovery to install and root to reinstall the apps..
Where do I find a working recovery that doesn't need root?

PS : my phone is rooted, and I use TitaniumBackup
I wish to get solution to backup problem,
all those settings preferences need to be backuped up but no solution yet found.

Hi folks.
I did only backup the parameters as suggested by the app, but what a pitty....
The main file only weight 468 Bytes (attachement)
This method is clearly unrelialable. As it doesn't backup my whole parameters.
TitaniumBackup appears to be my last shot, but I still have to determine what to backup...

You won't be disappointed. I freeze apps with icebox. Swift backs up more than just apps.
Of course, it's individual choice but I rely on OP Switch as my backup solution. I was a big fan for TB during my rooted days. With excellent Oxygen OS and OP Switch, I have no desire to root the phone anymore.
I haven't used Swift Backup app, but it might be worth the try. It's available on play store.

There aren't many apps on Oxygen OS that I consider bloatware. I use most of them. If I don't use a particular app, I simply disable it. If it still bothers me there are many guides online to debloat using adb commands.
I use paid version of AdGuard and have no issues with blocking ads. One license fee covers all 3 phones in my family.
