"After obtaining S-OFF and permanent root, I was still having trouble getting Titanium Backup to work.
Here's what I had to do to fix it:
I had used this to obtain temp root in the past: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1151735
Those steps had me create this directory: /data/bin/
Within that directory, I had sqlite, su, etc. so I simply deleted all the files in that folder, rebooted, and Titanium Backup now works!
I hope it helps everyone else."
This is straight from the Evo 3d Development Thread. Thanks go to Wiljitsu. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192452 I am posting it here in hopes of helping others.
You will have to use Root Explorer or the equivalent to delete these files. Or you could use the free way, execute "adb shell rm -r /data/bin/*"
Yup fixed it!!!
adb shell rm -r /data/bin/*
thanks a million!

I haven't tried that. But the problem was not with Titanium Backup itself, it was with the location of the Su binary. Titanium is still going to look for the binary wherever it can find it. If the original is still present in /data/local/ or whatever else, then it will use that one. Once you delete it, it will then look for it elsewhere( in the xbin)

Did you temp-root your phone before? If you haven't, then you don't have the files that are causing the issue. This fix is for people who have.
I had temp rooted before finally s-off this morning.
So I had the TB Pro problem, by following the OP instructions I have access again to my backup program.
THANKS!!!!!
YEEEEESSSSSSSS that worked. Finally TB works as well. I thought I was going crazy !!! haha thank you.
Glad to hear you guys reporting back with great news! I know how frustrating it is to not have titanium.

This is exactly what I did. It's actually very common. It does it every time I flash an miui update on my glacier and it happened here with my sensation. Only it happened just the very forst time I installed it and not since I did the first reinstall. Cheers mates S-OFF stylee
I just had the same issue, but I got it to work by:
1) Opening Titanium Backup
2) Pressing Menu
3) Pressing More
4) Pressing Reload Application

Glad that ended up working for you.seems like a lot of people worked it out with different methods. This one was for those who temp rooted and had the su binary already on their phone. Thus causing problems once they tried superuser the second time.

Even though I keep killing with Task Manager the Amazon MP3 Store application, it keeps coming back, how I can stop it from auto running all the time or even better to fully remove it from the phone ?, thanks
I fully removed it from the adb shell using rm -f. I think it's stored somewhere in /data/app. Anywais, just look for the apk and remove it.

If you are using enom's ROM , the option for removing amazon MP3 , and other built-in apps .. is under spareparts :
Application Options

checkmark and done !
You also can remove it with "Root Explorer" from the market too...
Or SUFBS I hardly ever bother with commands anymore
You can also remov it with Android mate. (marked)

Yep.
If you want to completely remove it, rm the apk, the related /data/data/.. folder, the related dalvik-cache object and remove it from packages.xml.
But for a quick removal just del the apk (and .odex if exists).
Or you could just get root manager from the market (paid app) which allows you to uninstall system apps
Can someone please explain to me why programs like the Amazon MP3 store come back after reboot each time I've deleted it. I've deleted it via Root Manager, android mate, titanium backup and all the other methods listed in this forum. Each seem to be rid of the files with out issue.

Sounds like you're not mounting the file system for writing before trying to write (delete) to the file system.
Very interesting thought. I figured since I'm not familiar with these root file system programs yet I could easily have it set to read only instead of write but after some digging I do have the software set to allow write permissions. I found some posts regarding this deleted program respawning issue. the general consensus is its the systems NAND protection. Im going to work on disabling that and trying again. thanks for the great suggestion though.
tipe this on your termina without the quotes if you dont have a terminal get one at the market.
"su"
"mount -o rw,remount /system"
"rm -r /system/app/com.amazon.mp3.apk"
"pm uninstall com.amazon.mp3"
In root explorer I went in to /system/apps and deleted .com.amazon.mp3.apk. Is that fine or is there anything else I need to delete to uninstall it?
i am still alittle confused of what i found on the internet and maybe someone can help me understand it. titanium backup backsup apps and data but it only runs when rooted. If i root my phone all the apps get deleted. How am i supose to back it up if all my apps are gone??
You do it after you have all your apps redownloaded. MyBackUp pro could of backed up your apps before you rooted the device.
But the only way you can get them back is to nano back to your original, then you titanium backup and then flash the new rom.
Rooting your phone won't delete anything. Just don't flash another rom untill you install Titanium and backup all your apps.

Use MybackUp free.. It will take a little bit of time restoring your apps, but it will work.
Once you have a custom rom on your phone. Prefer 2.0d or dc 2.07.2, both close to a normal full rom. Then you can use titanium backup

You need superuser.apk and busybox. Titanium will get busybox for you if you press problems.

You have to have busybox on your phone. Do what i said and us mybackup the free one. Same thing but doesnt require root. Once you get a custom rom, then you can use titanium backup to back your stuff up. The roms will have all the needed apps to run titanium
and how would i get super.apk and would i just put it into the root of my sd card??

hello everyone!
is it possible to remove the gmail app from the android 2.1 (nexus one)?
Obviously root is required for this
Install adb (it's in the Android SDK, search forum or Google for guides). In your console execute these commands
Remount file system with write permissions
Code:
adb remount
Remove Gmail app
Code:
adb rm /system/app/Gmail.apk
Code:
adb rm /system/app/Gmail.odex
Remove storage / sync
Code:
adb rm /system/app/GmailProvider.apk
Code:
adb rm /system/app/GmailProvider.odex
If the odex files aren't there skip those.
+
adb rm /data/data/com.google.android.providers.gmail
adb rm /cache/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected]
adb rm /cache/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected]
If you want to completely remove it.

And many apps you can remove, just not the essential one.
I remove cardock, facebook, dev tools, geniewidget, talk, gvoice, stk, email and perhaps one or two others before I ever install a rom... don't use em, don't want em.
And yes, removing unused apps in Android will actually make your phone faster in some activities.
an easy way to remove such apps is using Titanium Backup.
in titanium you can click on any app, and opt to uninstall it.
after that you reboot, and go into "settings/applications/manage applications and you will see the apps that you removed still in the list with 0kb, you can click them and do "uninstall" - done
a solution for those that don't want to type too much adb commands
and yes... make a nandroid before -

Ok I bought a Sim Free Desire HD so its completely stock, straight from HTC.
However its got some stuff I would quite like to remove such as Amazon MP3, Peep, News, Stocks, Transfer Data and Teeter, however these are locked down.
I have tried to remove them using adb however it says I do not have permission as the system is read only.
My device is rooted using VISIONary.
Here's the commands i've been running.
@adb shell rm /system/app/amazonmp3

first make a back up in recovery.
There are several ways to do this.
Terminal emulator app,
ADB,
or an app like Root Explorer or Titanium Back up
For the terminal app and ADB just
su
--opens up super user access
cd system/app
--changes your path to where the apps are stored
ls
--lists all the apps in the directory
once you find the app you want to blow away, do
rm VZW_Golf.apk
--removes it completly, and only way to retrieve is to find a replacement apk or restore entire back up through recovory.
You could also do a
mv VZW_Golf.apk VZW_Golf.apk.bak
--Just renames the app, it will be unusable, but can easily be restored by renaming to original apk.
Another option, rather than deleting, if you're concerned about needing to put them back some day is to just use Titanium Pro's "Freeze" feature. There are other apps that you can purchase on the Market that let you "freeze" an app as well.
Freezing an app totally disables it and prevents it from loading at startup, autoloading on its own, and even removes it from the app drawer.
This is the path I'm taking for the time being, but I'm not currently worried about the bloatware sucking up precious storage space. If storage for apps becomes an issue, the rm command is only a terminal session away!

My only thought is towards you aren't rooted.
If you are, then I'm not sure since I have never used the Root Explorer app.
thanks for the replies. I used Rom Manager to make a backup.
I'll download the titanium program and freeze the programs. Sounds the easiest option.

Try the "mount /system" app first. After selecting rw with that app, root explorer should be mounted as rw as well.

Reboot the phone a couple of times...re-download SuperUser.apk from the market if necessary, make sure that in SuperUser Root Explorer is listed as having been allowed root permissions.
If you've never seen the pop-up SuperUser request for Root Explorer you won't be able to mount r/w.
Titanium backup same story as root explorer. It also helps in Titanium to click the Problems? button and let it install its own version of busybox - or you can download busybox from the Market as well (I haven't tested it on the TB, though).
I ended up making a backup in cwm recovery then installing root explorer and going through system/app and just deleting the apks lol. have over 470mbs free now! left the odex files for now but removed the apps. If you delete them make sure you have a backup first.
The only app given me an issue is VVW, deleted the apk, renamed odex to .old and still vvm shows in the launcher. not sure what other apk is linked to vvm. any ideas?
so can you not uninstall them with titanium backup then? That would be the easiest way. I was hoping you could as I will be rooting mine here in a few.

You can uninstall them in titanium backup. Or after you root there is a Rom now you can flash in CWR that already has the bloat removed.
