Hi to all,
I read many forums about and I didn't found solution.
I have rooted Samsung Galaxy S2. I have problem with removing some of pre-installed apps, they don't remove from my phone. After uninstalling with Titanium Backup Free in backup/restore list they disappear, but icon on desktop and apps remains. After reboot they come back in backup/remove list of Titanium Backup like nothing happened. I already uninstalled a lot of pre-installed apps but two of them don't want.
Also I tried with Root App Remover but it said syntax error unexpected: "(".
Any suggestion?
Best regards!
you have to root your device with the Customs ROM, search in forum.
Thank you for quick replay.
Is that the last option, flashing the ROM?
Right now I have XWKDD_insecure kernel, Android 2.3.3, Baseband XWKE4.
Could help XWKE7_original kernel?
Go to Market and download Root App Remover.
change rom
Root explorer, use it to delete from system/app or data/app.
Thank you guys, I done it. Without changing the ROM.
Best regards to all!
Also titanium back up is an easy way to delete any app on the phone quick and easy
woops didn't read post all the way please delete my last post and this one!
I cant post a link, but (sdx stock app remover)works great to back up and uninstall apps. Its not in the market but you can get the apk for it threw a google search.

Hi, this is kind of a difficult question for me to explain, but I will try.
I have Titanium Backup installed and it was working fine for a while.
One day the icon went corrupt and the app would not open.
Naturally I went to uninstall and reinstall the apk.
When I uninstalled, the app icon and links disappeared and the app ceased to function, but the app did not uninstall.
When I try to reinstall, it asks to replace the old with the new one.
The install finishes with "Application Not Installed"
I can not access Titanium Backup at all.
I have tried using ADB to uninstall and I have uninstalled from the manage applications. I also tried deleting the .apk from /data/app/.
Titanium backup will no longer show up in my Manage Application menu.
I made a flashable .zip from another phone and installed it that way, TiBu still did not show up in the app list, but all the files are in the phones filesystem.
Hopefully someone can help me fix this without reinstalling the ROM.
The problem phone: HTC Hero CDMA CM7 Nightlies.
Thank you!
I hate to bump my own post, but my thread seems to have gotten lost among newer ones and I do not know where else to ask for help fixing it.
Hey. I did a search and didn't find an answer to this question. I just got my Inspire last week and am still working up the courage to root it since it is my only phone, and I don't want to brick it.
So in the meantime, how do I uninstall apps that I don't want/ need that are on the phone? Things like blockbuster and friendstream, and stocks? The phone wont let you uninstall them in application manager, and I tried creating a folder to move them out of the /system/app folder so they wouldn't run on restart, but it won't let you move them either. And, of course, since it isn't rooted yet, Titanium backup won't work either.
Is there a way to get rid of these apps that I don't want that are stock on the phone?
Thanks!

Thats why we root, my friend. Grab the hack kit and jump in. There are stock Roms that are rooted and already have the bloat removed. And then you can try some other Roms... lots of good stuff out there.

Running the GB Stock ROM with BW removed. Works great!!!
I recently rooted my Skyrocket (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526) but am unable to delete apps. I have full superuser access and have even installed a custom ROM already, but the only option when I go to "manage apps" is to delete the updated version. I've even tried deleting the apps using Launcher Pro's method (long holding on the trash icon) and it just says "Uninstall unsuccessful."
So, what gives? Why am I rooted and don't have full access over my apps??
Thanks.
EDIT: Also, just to add, I have apps that came with the stock phone (like AP Mobile, AccuWeather, etc.) that I can see in the manage applications list under ALL but they aren't in my app drawer. So I get the worst of both worlds: some apps I can't access and can't uninstall!
Root doesn't change the fact that the apps are protected system apps. The default uninstaller will still stop you from fully removing them.
You can easily download a free app from the market, such as Root Uninstaller, to remove protected system apps. Just be careful, as you can so remove vital system apps crucial to the operation of android with root Uninstaller. Only remove apps you are sure won't hurt the system.

Many of the roms don't have the bloat. Look them over and see if any fit your needs. You'll need rom manager (marketplace). Before flashing any of the roms for this phone, read the threads associated with each one, so you'll have an idea about any issues. Make sure you also understand the consequences of flashing a rom.
You dont need rom manager. I dont use it. But some people prefer it.

Keep in mind. You can flash the stock recovery tar and still take an ota update. But if you delete bloat you can not. Youll have to flash back to stock. Unless you have a nandroid backup with bloat intact.

For those who are new to this, like me, it is the easiest way, after looking over some of the guides.
And if you choose to use rom manager. You have to select the tmobile galaxy s2. Skyrocket is not listed. But it is almost an identical phone.
Just download titanium backup, it can uninstall protected apps.

Thanks for the help everyone. I just moved from the Atrix which didn't have protected systems apps after bypassing the bootloader.
I ended up installing "Sky Ice Cream Sandwich" which I thought didn't have bloatware but it still shows up... And I did use ROM Manager but that was just because I wanted to get into CWM easier.
Anyway, I found a list of apps I can uninstall here so I'll just be using Titanium Backup since I've already purchased it.
Thanks again.
I use Titanium Backup, it works flawless and is really easy.
can't delete system apps
Hello. Pls help me to solve my problem. I've already rooted my HTC desire 620 but I still can't delete my system apps(no root permissions). Also doesn't works another apps with(root needs)
Thanks
so i have successfully rooted my p6200 tab
and installed Superuser and busybox and updated my binary SU
one last thing i wanna do is remove the bloaters.
removing the bloaters is the reason why i want to root my phone.
so if someone out there can guide be please.
thanks in advance. and if you could advice a ROM for me( a link would be nice )
please do. THANKS YOU. :good:
you can use titanium backup from the android market to remove all them annoying apps from your phone.
First thing you want to do is install Titanium Backup, as suggested by wingie. After that, run a batch job to backup every single app you have on your phone... I mean, tablet.
After you got a full backup of everything carefully go through the list of apps removing what you want, but be careful. Not every app listed is safe to remove. Some are essential for the stock ROM to work. However, I have found this magical list here:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?hl=en_US&hl=en_US&key=0AnO2-4y6yE1gdDJRekl4QmkyNmIzUmRvX2h3UDVkQXc&output=html
(original thread)
It's for the SGSII but I've used once for my SGS and it's a very good starting point for any Samsung Android device. Check your apps name and then check the list to see if it's safe to remove. Go carefully through that and you're done
Hope I've helped
Hi-
I just upgraded to the rooted UECLK7 for p3113 via: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2099779&highlight=ueclk7
Now when I go into /system/app/ and try to delete the bloatware, it says it cannot delete. I tried it with ES File explorer.
I would never have problems with deleting this way (either with my galaxy s2 or all previous versions of my p3113).
I know I'm rooted because I restored all my apps with Titanium.
Am I missing something?
a point in the right direction would be appreciated. thank you.
There is a free version of an app called NoBloat - basically does what you are looking for - also requires root access, so give it a try, if it does not work there may be a problem with your "rooting"
Good luck,

Thank you! that worked.
Still curious as to why I can't delete it from ES File Explorer... but anyway, thank you.

actually I take that back.
The app says it's been uninstalled and deleted, but it's still there.
I went back and ran CF autoroot (chainfire for P3113) to confirm root again, but I still cannot delete system apps. this is annoying.
thank you though.

I came across a list of preloaded bloat that seems safe to uninstall. Here's a copy of it. It's for the 10 inch I believe, but a lot of the apps are the same. We have a couple they don't and vice versa. But this is a great start.

I froze unwanted programs first. I started removing them tonight using Titanium, as I have a pro license for my phone. I converted to user app first and then uninstalled from the stock apps / menu list. I verified they successfully removed by checking disk space with DiskUsage app and checking the apps file location / path with ES Explorer to verify it was in fact uninstalled and deleted.
So my suggestion is to try the way I did with Titanium. If that fails, it sounds like a read write attributes / permissions problem. Also, verify root with Root checker.

I have came across an app or two I wanted to uninstall. It was a system app, but no option to convert from system app to user app in TiBu. Tried the forced remove method, the tab rebooted with an error and didn't uninstall. Going to try an look into this more this weekend. In the meantime, Should you figure out how, please post how you did it.
Checking back in. I installed NoBloat and have not had any problems deleting system apps. Just deleted about 15 and going to find out what others I can uninstall. Also, verified deletion by checking file path in ES. Packages are gone.
OP, how is your progress? Have you been able to delete the problem app? Is it just 1 app, or multiple? Can you list them please?

I too have this problem. just picked up 2 galaxy tablet 7 from bb. had newest 4.1.1 update already. both are rooted with super and used es file (with root permis) to unistall bloat apk. tells me zineo (for example) cannot be deleted. ok. switched to tibu and it tells me file has been success unist. cool. reboot. dammit. zineo apk is still there even after tibu said it was unist. will play around with some more bload removal tools from play store.
update, installed system app remover...it failed to remove zinio...or music hub...
update. ok, what the ****?! I installed nobloatware free and go to sys app. it displays all apps. scroll down to zinio. delete without back up. it says deleting and the apk is gone...or so it seems. es file shows it's still there. go back to nobloatware and try again. select the apk and it's gone from the list, but i flip it and the app list refreshes and zinio is still there. why is root checker telling me i have root and es and tibu also indicates i have root but i can't delete the bloatware?

hi. does anyone know if google apps (google books, etc.) are safe to remove? I soft bricked my lg motion removing some. just wondering if I could do it on this tablet. thanks.
I used system app remover to get rid of a few things: chaton, game hub, and next issue, just for starters. Game hub seems to have completely removed, but the icons for chaton and next issue are still in my app tray. Any ideas on how to remove the dead-link icons?
Here's a list of apps I removed without issue:
music hub

game hub
