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.

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....

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'd like to know this too before i go ahead and start removing stuff
I rooted my phone using SuperoneClick for mac/linux, and it was very simple. It said my phone was rebooting and that my phone was rooted.
Now what do I do? What can I do with rooting? I don't see any difference on the mainscreen. What I did was went to look at my applications and realized I have "SuperUser" now.
When I click that, I have LOG, Apps, and settings, the only thing listed is settings. How can I remove certain bloatware that I don't need?
Get titanium backup so you can uninstall bloatware- if you pay $6 you can freeze the bloatware instead of removing it completely.
A program like Root Explorer can help you get rid of the bloatware as well. Just navigate to System/APP and delete what you don't want. Just be carefull not to delete the wrong software, I think there is a list in one of the threads here of what is safe to get rid of.
Yeah, just get an App manager that uses root access (I use Anttek App Manager). You can either freeze such apps or delete them entirely. You can also change CPU speed, and eventually upgrade to CM7 when it's released, and quite a few other things!
Before doing anything though, I'd recommend backup up your phone with Rom Manager.
Okay, so your steps should be this....
First download ROM manager to back up my system?
Then I download app manager so I can freeze/delete? Freezing might be safer for a newb like me.
that is what I did
I backed up the phone using ROM manager, but where can I find where that backup is to make sure I did it successfuly?
If you are thinking about getting into some serious tinkering, custom ROMs, Kernels, etc. You will probably want to use the NVFlash method to load in clockwork recovery. This method and a good backup of your system should help bail you out of the most circumstances.
Yes, but I'm not sure where to find the backup? I want to make sure the backup was successful. Please someone help
Backups will be found in the clockworkmod/backups folder. Check there to make sure u are doing it right and have a backup.
What can you do with root? As a beginner I would recommend you go slow:
1- Install interesting apps that require root: http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/07/13/8-great-apps-every-rooted-android-user-should-know-about/
2- Learn how to make and restore nandroid backups w/ Clockworkmod Recovery.
3- Freeze bloatware with Titanium Backup Pro.
4- Eventually get to flashing custom ROMs once we get some !
Backup should be on your external sd card in a folder called clockworkmod/backup

I backed it up, went to clockworkmod and my backup, but it doesn't say anything when I click it, neither does it show up in the manage and restore backup
bump, anyone?
try again?

why would you do this to your phone and have no idea what it does or how to take advantage of it?
that's like hotflashing a bios just because it sounds cool.
I'm new to it and want to freeze bloatware? And plus, I can google on how to do stuff and "take advantage" of it =) Thanks
And I just made a back-up and that one is not showing up, gave it a name and everything, would the best thing to do is to uninstall rom manager and install it?

that sound like an easy way to get in over your head
rofl, i still can't get even make a backup, i tried making the back-up twice, and it's showing me the first one, but when I go to manage/restore, it doesn't come up
Do u have an sdcard mounted? If not u need one.

WOW!!! titanium backup worked, man! thanks, really.
Titanium back up is the Easiest Solution
But if you want to remove the apps Like a Pro
download any root explore from PLAY STORE
ex. ES File Explorer,Root Explorer
and go to
/system/app/
there are all the Stock Apps On Your Phone
and you can delete any thing
But Besure to only delete those AT&T Blot apps other wise You will Mess Up your Phone..
Ps:To Gain access to Root Folder You have To Mount the system path first.
in ES File Explore You can Do This By
Go To Settings and Tick these
1.Root Explorer
2.Mount File System
please search before opening a new thread. This has been covered many times already.

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 don't know... There's probably one on here somewhere but just I'd just Google it.

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.
Hi, i already have some search on the web for a thing but doesnt find it!
So, what im loking for is an app like the nLite or vLite for Windows but to do the same but for ANdroid, a thing with can i remove some app from the flashable rom and custumize it easy!

WinRar. Ask the dev if you may edit the rom. You can easily add, remove or switch the integrated APKs, sounds and so on.

i know i can delete the apk's from the ROM directly, but i can say if the installer detect they are missed up and abort the instalation or brick the phone! Im a noob in that point, my idea was edit a ROM to everytime i need to flash it doesnt have to do all the same things like delete apks via root explorer and etc!

Deleting any files from a ROM is not recommended but if you know what you are doing, it's fine.
Also you could also flash a Clean Rom without all the useless APK's and when flashing gapps the smallest one with only the core and playstore.

To delete APKs use "Titanium Backup" --> batch uninstall, means you can uninstall all unwanted apps with 1 klick.

LOL, yes i CAN read and i DO so. We talked about you can delete any unwanted apks from the zip as long as they are not relevant for the system. Works on roms and on gapps packages.
And I wrote that for me its easier to perform a batch uninstall with Titanium backup (takes about 1 minute) after flashing the rom as deleting the apks manually by editing the rom.zip as I flash my phone nearly every day.
