can someone tell us if removing bloat thru root explorer will delete the whole app? Iv read that it does and that it doesnt and the apps still show? clarification on this would be appreciated.. thanks much!
I delete my apps using rootexplorer. I go through system/app and delete from there. Also you can use titanium backup and freeze your apps you don't want to use.

Click the Mount R/W button on the top so you can make changes.
I uninstalled them via titanium backup and they don't appear or run.

Can someone give us a list what all bloatware you can remove without damaging the software itself?
I use an app called Root App Remover, one click and they are gone, I recommend it.
App remover works great

Basically, you can use any application that can root uninstall. There's a dozen of them on the market.

I rooted my phone last week and would like to hear from you guys which ones are handy apps to have. So far i have titanium backup, Astro and i think thats about it.
I would like to do the fota fix and read that i should use root explorer but is this the only option for a file manager that can access system folders or are there other alternatives?
With Astro I have not been able to locate /data/fota yet so i was thinking that with root explorer i could be able to find it.
Thanks for your advise

You can use ADB from your computer to push the fota files or you can use Android Terminal Emulator from the Market.
I ended up purchasing Root Explorer because I'm lazy and like the ease of using it.
I did it with eStrong's free version. Eventhough it asks what kind of recovory ur using, I just selected CWM. Just remember to turn it off when ur done otherwise it'll error out next time u open it

To do this, your phone has to be rooted and you have to install 'Root Explorer' from the Market. Then; follow this steps:
1. Open Root Explorer
2. Go to the root (a '/' is shown in the upperleft corner if you are in root menu)
3. Go to the 'system' folder
4. Inside the system-folder, open the 'app' folder
5. Find the app you want to uninstall, but don't delete it.. Instead, move it to another location so in case something goes wrong, you can move it back.
6. Reboot your phone
The only way(as far as I know) is rooting your device and uninstalling a tool which actually supports this option, normally the stock application manager will not allow this. I have seen this in the forums already so I recommend to do a little more searching.

You forgot to tell you actually need to ROOT the phone to successfully use root explorer
You have to root your phone in order to do that. Most providers put those preinstalled apps in the system directory where you need root permissions.
@incapable: read my post again... i did say that phone must be rooted

yes i saw it, sorry
found rooting my vibrant then using titanium backup did the trick...you can backup the apps then before you remove them...and what I did as I started slowly experimenting with what was safe, is the freeze option in titanium backup...so you can basically keep the apps inactive without having to risk removing them...
so you can see what if any negative affect it may have.
cheers for the replies people

You must have ROOT before removing apps by a program.
they should forbid those preinstalled apps. it always sucks..
so titanium backup allows you to back up just apps?

Correct. System apps and user apps. It also enables you to remove them. That includes any manufacturer's bloatware.

Hi, some one can help me ?? I need to remove system app from my HTC incredible, how can I do that ?? Thanks.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
Download root explorer. Navigate to system/app and all of the system apps are going to be there. I'd advise moving the app to your sd card instead of straight up deleting it incase you want it later.

Open Titanium Backup, select "Backup/Restore" (at the top), scroll down to the app you wish to remove, select it, select "Un-install".
Job done

Try this. Found a reference to it the other day on another forum because I wanted to remove Google Books from my phone. Works like a charm, easy, fast, and effective.

yes as jimbo said go to backup restore menu and select the app you wanna uninstall if you press on one app a menu will pop-up choose what you wanna do
Titanium Backup Pro (paid version) also lets you to freeze the app, in case you need it later. For system it's like unninstalling.
But using Titanium Backup, you must have root. Like the deleting with Root Explorer
I have rooted my at&t avail. <gingerbread> What is the easiest app that I can use to delete all the preloaded apps? Something easy for a non geek?
Titanium backup

You may want to use titanium backup to freeze them first then see how everything operates. Uninstalling some system apps can screw up said system. If everything works, then uninstall. It would also be a good idea to flash a custom recovery and use that to backup your system (just in case) .

I agree. Freezing the apps first will ensure you don't remove anything that is needed. If something doesn't work you just unfreeze it. When your happy everything works then you can remove the frozen apps.

In root explorer go to system folder --app folder--here you find all such system apps

Use Root Explorer to multi select all the apps you want and remove them. Not sure why you need link2sd though.
Use titanium backup pro

Then something is odd about it. As long as you have root and given root access to the explorer then ukulele should be able to delete the apks from system/app. If you can't I would find out why.

i was using es file explorer, rooted phone, set permissions to read/write. i clicked the root explorer option, and from there clicked uninstall system apps. i then multi selected, pressed uninstall. a message comes up saying "busy", underneath that it shows one by one uninstalling "app name". after that, i get a box saying task completed. i go to app drawer, all apps are still there. so i go into es file explorer, navigate to system folder, than into app folder. all system apks are there, so i multi select and press delete. at that point i get a message, cannot delete, the files are not found" (or something similar) at this popint i am exasperated, so i go into link 2sd, try from there, it works from there at that point i open this thread to see what im doing wrong.
Could you please even reply if someone tries to help you?
Yes not cannot say.. tried.. did not work...
