The app is corrupt and I cant open or uninstall it.
I tried to use adb to uninstall it, but it just said "failure"
I used the perma-temp-root and Root Uninstaller, but it still wouldn't let me uninstall the app.
Using ES File Manager, I manually found all *vvm* in the /system/app and /data/app and /data/data folders and either deleted or renamed the files and folder.
Finally after that I was able to install TMO VVM from the market and get it working again.
What a PITA!
Please note:
The reason for that is the MT4GS has the Visual Voice mail built in.
To access it go to:
Phone > Voicemail
When you download the app from the store, it will work temporally after which it will automatically get corrupted /deleted.
I installed the one from the market by accident a as well. You need to temp root and use titanium backup to uninstall it. Then use the one built into the phone

is there any app tht can be use to uninstall system apps? appart from systemapp remover? thks

Root Explorer or Titanium Backup, but you must be rooted.
Keep in mind if you're on a stock ROM you most likely will NOT be able to install OTA updates in the future if you remove apps like this. They will fail to upgrade themselves, since the original copy no longer exists.
well im using cyanogen 6.1.1
then U can delete the app with Root Explorer or Titanium Backup..
Suggestion: do a system backup before!
Sadly the only way to do this is if you root your phone, but if you do decide to root your phone to do this you may as well install a custom rom; as if you try to update a stock rom that doesn't have all its stock apps it will more then likely either not work or brick your phone altogether.
But the good news is that if you decide to do custom roms you are def in the right place.
oh wait how do i uninstall the system app? do i just delete the .apk file in the \system\apps directory?
ok here's some problem. root explorer let me delete the apps in the \system\app directory but whenever i reboot my system n i went in there, all the stuffs i deleted r there again. happend everytime i reboot my phone

same thing happens to me when i use titanium backup to delete system apps.
try use the adb
you must delete the apk, and then use packet manager to uninstall
if you use cm take a look here
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Barebones
you will need to use ADB while you're phone is in recovery mode.
if the phone is on and booted and you're just rooted (not S-OFF) then you wont have access to delete from /system....
Instead of deleting it, I disable them just in case I need them back for some OTA update or something:
First find the package name, then go into adb. Using A&T maps as the example: ( com.telenav.app.android.cingular.attmaps )
$ su
# pm disable com.telenav.app.android.cingular.attmaps
Then if it ever needs to be re-enabled:
$ su
# pm enable com.telenav.app.android.cingular.attmaps
Disabled apps won't show up in the All Apps list, just as if they had been deleted.
Hello,
I flashed to leedroid 1.3 and i use Titanium backup to remove it like they wrote on the Forum, but it doesn't remove them.
It gets rebooted and then hangs with black screen and android warning picture.
I need to remove the battery to restart the phone.
Any other ideas to remove twitter/facebook/Peep and other social media apps.
THNX for your knowledge input.
you can also manualy remove the apps by deleting them (or renaming their extention e.g. .apk -> apkx) with a root explorer, for example 'root explorer' or 'ES File Explorer' in the /system/app folder.
I can remove it, but it returns after reboot + on "pm uninstall com.twitter.android" I get "Failed"
You need to root your phone first. Visit the forum section dedicated to your phone, read a bit, read a bit more, root it, then wipe that bloatware off.
@Captkiwi just download z4root it works with 99% of phones-use it and buy rootexplorer, open it, go to system/app, click mount r/w and delete bloatware Good luck
Making phone to be S-OFF is crucial. This thread helped me S-OFFing it properly (made bootable USB with unetbootin), and now this procedure works... Previously it didn't while the phone was still S-ON.
Hope this helps people, been struggling with my phone for a month now... Finally it seems I control my hardware
Make sure USB Debugging is on
Install z4root by downloading the apk and allowing non-market apps. Find it on sd card and install with longpress or something.
After you root, install titanium backup free version.
You can use this to backup and then uninstall all the bloat you want.

Ok - looks like there are 2 main options
1) Install Titanium backup and delete bloatware from there (Rooted Phone)
..........This option doesn't appear to work all the time - is it because the bloatware doesn't show up or because its listed with and unusual name like---- SNS 1.0 -- that twitter hides behind?
2) Use "a" file explorer on a rooted phone and go to---- system/app ---and find the apps and delete them ....nope still cant find the bloatware....
.........try another folder ..... /data/app/ ....still nothing
Anyone got any more ideas?
I'm working on an ideos X5
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.
I have a Motorola Photon, and I had tried to get the old Market backet back with a process I found in the forum. It didn't work, and somewhere along the line I lost the Market all together. I tried wiping the phone back to factory and the Market app did not come back. I tried to just install a version from 4Shared, but still doesn't work with any version I install. It says that "com.android.vending has quit unexpectedly" and then it FC's. It only seems to do this when I go to download an app. I can browse and search fine with no problems, just no downloading!! I admit I'm a noob, and probably messed with something I shouldn't, but I figured this would be a nondestructive thing to learn on. Man was I wrong!! This sucks...please help me!!
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Yes...I was rooted but no custom rom. I don't know how to do that yet. This is going to sound stupid, but what exactly is a custom rom? After I wiped to factory condition I tried to install a vending.apk from 4shared and that still gives me same error. I will uninstall again and try a market.apk now. Is that the same as vending.apk?
A factory reset will only delete user data, it won't put back something that has been removed. You need to get the vending apk for the version you want and instead of installing it normally put it in /system/app. You can do so using Root Explorer or another root level file explorer. If you don't have one installed, I can post the apk of a free one for you. Mount system as r/w and copy/paste the apk into /system/app, then set permissions to rw-r--r--, then reboot. You should have your market back up & running.

That's what I originally tried to do and didn't work, but I will try it again...If you could post an apk of the market you know is good that would be great. Can u post an apk of a root explorer also? I havent checked 4shared yet. Is there another free download service other than 4shared? Thanks for your help!!
Just download Market and install it. If it FC then check the permissions.

(It's the new market btw. I know you don't want it, but you don't really have a choice at the moment)
Ok so this is weird!! I left the Market that wasn't working installed by mistake. I installed the OTA update that Motorola did, and then re-rooted my phone again. Now the Market is working for the most part!!! Only thing is...it FC's every time iot installs an app. It downloads and installs, but right after it installs it FC's!! It doesn't always close all the way...sometimes just goes to Market home screen. All the functionality seems to be working though, so I can deal with that.
Does anybody know why after the OTA update I can only get EDGE instead of 3G on a Rogers SIM card?
Did you clear Google Services Framework data and Market data?
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?

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
media hub
game hub
chat on
amazon kindle
next issue
