Typically I will remove them from my phone to a backup directory on my PC. Only one I usually keep is the MMS app

I flash roms a lot and there is something I need to find a fix for.
Once the flash is done I boot up and start initial phone setup menu. I have to sign into my google account at this stage obviously. So once that's done the first thing I want to do is restore my apps with titanium, so I go to the market for it, but the market straight away starts downloading ALL my apps at once when I only want TB to download. Only way to stop it is to go through the entire app list and cancel all the downloads, which takes a while. I cant let the downloads go ahead as it's far too many megabytes.
So I want a way to install TB without using the market. I've tried creating the update.zip in TB options and the zip does get created, but when I flash it from recovery it doesn't install.
Can I get the apk from somewhere and install it that way (I know you can push from cmd prompt although I've never tried it), and if so is there a way to do it on the phone only, as I often flash roms when I'm away from the computer.
When you enter your google credentials, it'll ask you if you want to back up your data. Uncheck it. Once your past that screen go into settings > privacy and assure automatic restore is unchecked.
The apks are in /data/app/ by the way.

I'm very familiar with these options. I always leave the option to backup to google ticked in case I ever need it (unlikely), but I always have auto' restore unticked, so I'm pretty sure that the automatic downloading of my apps is because the market app recognizes that I own them all when I sign in with my google account, and not because of auto' restore - but correct me if I'm wrong.
So how would I install TB using the apk. Does it have to be done with my computer? Is there another way. Root explorer would be great, but I'd have to install that the same way, which renders it useless in this particular case. What do all you experienced people do to get round this. Or do you just get through it the same way I do???
You can extract your TB using root explorer and save it on your sdcard. Sometimes its stored in /system/app or /data/app.
Usually roms come with a file explorer, so once you have a rom installed go to its file explorer and install your backed up TB. That's how I usually do it. Hope that helps.

markfavis,
you the man Your post helped me figure some stuff out. Your thanks meter just went up by a point.
I use ns_collab most of the time and I did not realise it came with root explorer preinstalled until you mentioned roms coming with a file manager. I did a bit of research and discovered root explorer is preinstalled with ns_collab. I never realised it was part of the rom as I already own root explorer so TB always restores my copy.
I've already made a copy of the TB apk files, so I reckon i've got this sorted for next time I flash a rom.
Just one more thing to check. The apk files I have backed up are:
com.keramidas.titaniumbackup-1.apk
and
com.keramidas.titaniumbackuppro-1.apk
Is this all I need to
I think you only need one of those files. One of em is the pro version. I only have one file and I install it like a regular apk file.

I've got the pro version - so I think this must be right. If you are on the free version and only use one file then I'm cookin
im using the pro version and i only have one apk file. pro restores faster with hypershell
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've noticed when I flash a rom and open market and go from installed to All
Every app I own or downloaded has to be redownloaded one at a time
Is there a multi select or update option to install all the apps associated with the gmail account

Not that I am aware of. You could use the Google Play website from a computer and fairly quickly go through "My Apps". Or, why not just batch install with Titanium Backup?
I use a app called app backup and restore that will save all your installed apk's to your sdcard and allows batch installing.
Both these are good solutions. Also, I think if you select to restore device during the initial set up, then reboot after getting setup it will automatically download all apps. I'm not sure how is triggered, but that usually does it for me

My phone is rooted and I have superuser access but I can't figure out how to delete the default email app. It currently continually returns error "stopped unexpectedly" and I can't delete any of the accounts since they are configured inside the email application. I just want to dump it completely and go with something else. My apologies in advance if I overlooked a thread but search didn't seem to return the process for nuking the default email app.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Try Titanium backup it has the ability to remove system apps. try to wipe data first and open it again or you may freeze it if u don't like it..
Give some info of your phone so that we can help for further problem you have.
Make a nandroid backup and then remove email.apk from /system/app using root explorer or an equivalent (you can also use Aroma file manager through the recovery).

use rootdelete app.

I am trying to stop the update before it installs. I tried the posting from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249350 and it still did not stop it. If I can't stop it, does it give me the option not to install once it downloads?
Using Titanium Backup, freeze the system app "sdm 1.0" OR if you use a file manager, just rename that system app to "sdm 1.0.bak" The OTA downloads in /Cache so make sure you delete it from there. Also, checking for a software update will cause Settings to crash and this is normal behavior.

Thank you SlimScoopsOS. Last night out of desperation I cut the red wire and it stopped the download. Just kidding. I did rename that file and it worked. So far, so good.
