Hello all. Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but how do I remove the bloatware and pre installed apps on my skyrocket? I have already rooted with ODIN and flashed the superuser.zip in CW recovery but I cant just uninstall them like normal downloaded apps. Ive heard i have to use the terminal app but I dont know terminal commands that well

ya just like said above^^^^^ u need paid* tb to freeze bloatware.
Freezing is best on stock but you can also get System app Remover (Paid) to fully uninstall. TB will do uninstalls but I prefer system app remover.

As to not hijack the Sideload thread, I have a few questions for a new thread.
I Rooted last friday for the sideload feature/screenshots because I'm a whore.
How do I remove the stupid AT&t bloatware?
how can I change what loads at startup?
and what do you do you with your root? what extra tool or function to you use now that you could not do with your stock rom
have you flashed a custom rom since rooting? most have the att bloat already removed. From what I've heard you have to be careful what you remove, say removing htc things from a sense rom could screw it up. There are several tools in the market for uninstalling apps. I was using root uninstaller but switched to another because of some negative reviews on the new version

Titanium backup. Don't let the name fool you. It does more than just backup.
Try the free version, but you really should buy it.
Cannot be overstated the value of this app.

I prefer to manage the apks myself. I bought root explorer, navigated to /system/app/ and made a folder called blacklist. After each rom I install I do this, comb through the system/app folder, and move any apk I don't want into the blacklist folder. This uninstalls the app, but allows me to have a backup incase I move an app that the system relies on.

A perfectly valid technique for more advanced users, though the OP might not quite be ready for that.

Titanium is in-valuable for many reasons. For your particular question, you would need the Pro version, go through your applications and 'Freeze' them. This keeps them from loading and removes them from you 'Apps List' but does not remove them.
Friends, yesterday i rooted my phone and downgraded it... Using this procedure

I installed this, but Rom Manager wasn't on the list of system apps
Titanium Backup Remove / Backup / Re-install
Hi there! Be aware that if you remove apps you won't be able to update via OTA unless you install them again. If you wish to stay stock, it may be better to just freeze those apps so they won't appear any longer. It's easy and you don't have to worry about the backup files
If space is an issue, install superuser and use Link2SD or any other methods to extend your internal space to the SD card.
Good luck
Okay, so I have gone through Hansoon2000 (ty btw) All in One kit for T-Mobile Amaze and did steps 1 - 5 and then flashed a recovery, but I don't know where to go now. I would like to start deleting stock apps that I don't want and are taking up space. Can someone give me a few tips on what to do next? I am assuming I need to be in SU mode or something like that.
Thanks.

If you have Superuser installed, go ahead and download Titanium Backup. Whenever you enter a root app, a SU prompt will appear asking if you want to grant Superuser Permissions.
Its not really SU mode, apps just want the ability to do Super things.
Titanium Backup will allow you to uninstall apps, but when deleting system apps you have to be careful not to do something stupid, like uninstall the settings app. Titanium backup actually does a lot more, you can backup/restore apps and their data, freeze apps (pro only), and more backing up. Its the one app you absolutely need on a rooted device.

I think you may be looking for something like this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362759 it's made by an awesome dev and is stock sans bloat and very tweakable.
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?

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.

Thanks for the backup.

Use root explorer to remove any system app
But check out beforehand that which are the essential app and which are bloatwares !
In root explorer go to system folder --app folder--here you find all such system apps

Hi guys,
So I just unlocked my phone using xperifix and I tried to delete all the bloatware using 2 apps I found in the play store but I was unable to. The phone just tells me the uninstall failed and i dont even know why
Any idea why this is happening?
thanks

Titanium Backup is possibly the best app for a rooted phone. It will uninstall any app.
You can go into TWRP, mount System partition, then hit the FileManager under Advanced, and then change permissions/delete files/folders accordingly.
But be careful, there seems to be some wierd dependencies going on in there, and you end up with some random FCs here and there after removing bloat app folders and such.
My personal advice if you want to be free of headaches, just 'freeze' the apps using say 'Advanced Tools' from appstore (my recommended app freezer and general swiss-army tool).
