I uninstalled the app Dialer in preference for my custom one but when I look in the Home-> Applications the icon still shows up. I am trying to pear down the Naked 2.3.4 ROM to even something smaller. I am trying to eliminate all things except our apps and a custom phone dialer. I am using a Motorola Droid X2 with the Naked 2.3.4 rom.
Try touching the app and see what it does. Had one like that once and after I touched the icon, the device asked me if I wanted to remove it.
The last time something like this happened to me, I used Titanium Backup to get rid of it. Have you tried that?

Alternatively you could try using Astro or ES File explorer

how do i unsitall preloaded system app
root the phone. install titanium backup and you can uninstall system apps. MAKE SURE YOU DO RESEARCH PRIOR TO UNINSTALLING ANY SYSTEM APPS.
Is there a list of safe system apps to remove for this Galaxy S 4G?
There is, but you have to search for it. I'm on my phone and the search function sucks.
u must root the phone to gain access to root files and delete bloatware apps or pre installed apps but b4 u delete them be sure to back them up with a something like titanium backup so if u need warantee work u can re-install them
You can also use FBis251 [CWM] SGS4G KJ6 Debloater, instead of uninstalling one app at a time. You could uninstall all the ones you want removed in one shoot.Works Great. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385187

This only work if your running a KJ6 rom , not Froyo.
is Titanium backup still the best?
i uninstalled a stock app and it wont reinstall
also drop box always fails 50 times
And the Dev never writes back on the PRo version
Is there a better alternative to back up a phone and then remotely save the information via WIFI to a PC or something
Cheers
I personally think it is the best backup app, and now you can also extract apps (and data) from clockwork mod backups. It is also free

You should just freeze the stock apps instead of uninstalling
I recently rooted my Skyrocket (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526) but am unable to delete apps. I have full superuser access and have even installed a custom ROM already, but the only option when I go to "manage apps" is to delete the updated version. I've even tried deleting the apps using Launcher Pro's method (long holding on the trash icon) and it just says "Uninstall unsuccessful."
So, what gives? Why am I rooted and don't have full access over my apps??
Thanks.
EDIT: Also, just to add, I have apps that came with the stock phone (like AP Mobile, AccuWeather, etc.) that I can see in the manage applications list under ALL but they aren't in my app drawer. So I get the worst of both worlds: some apps I can't access and can't uninstall!
Root doesn't change the fact that the apps are protected system apps. The default uninstaller will still stop you from fully removing them.
You can easily download a free app from the market, such as Root Uninstaller, to remove protected system apps. Just be careful, as you can so remove vital system apps crucial to the operation of android with root Uninstaller. Only remove apps you are sure won't hurt the system.

Many of the roms don't have the bloat. Look them over and see if any fit your needs. You'll need rom manager (marketplace). Before flashing any of the roms for this phone, read the threads associated with each one, so you'll have an idea about any issues. Make sure you also understand the consequences of flashing a rom.
You dont need rom manager. I dont use it. But some people prefer it.

Keep in mind. You can flash the stock recovery tar and still take an ota update. But if you delete bloat you can not. Youll have to flash back to stock. Unless you have a nandroid backup with bloat intact.

For those who are new to this, like me, it is the easiest way, after looking over some of the guides.
And if you choose to use rom manager. You have to select the tmobile galaxy s2. Skyrocket is not listed. But it is almost an identical phone.
Just download titanium backup, it can uninstall protected apps.

Thanks for the help everyone. I just moved from the Atrix which didn't have protected systems apps after bypassing the bootloader.
I ended up installing "Sky Ice Cream Sandwich" which I thought didn't have bloatware but it still shows up... And I did use ROM Manager but that was just because I wanted to get into CWM easier.
Anyway, I found a list of apps I can uninstall here so I'll just be using Titanium Backup since I've already purchased it.
Thanks again.
I use Titanium Backup, it works flawless and is really easy.
can't delete system apps
Hello. Pls help me to solve my problem. I've already rooted my HTC desire 620 but I still can't delete my system apps(no root permissions). Also doesn't works another apps with(root needs)
Thanks
Good evening.
Yesterday I installed the MaximusHD rom (previously the phone was stock).
I did a backup with HTC before flashing the rom, but when I tried to restore the backup, HTC Sync didn't work.
Now I have my videos, photos and music crypted in .xml files in C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\HTC MediaHub\Backup\BR_HT23RW405191 and I can't recover them!
Does somebody have any suggestion please? :crying:

HTC Backup does not support photos, videos, music or documents. It backs up settings and apps.
---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------
If you used HTC Sync Manager, which is supposed to backup the files you mentioned, you could return to stock. Restore and then move the files to your PC. Then when you reinstall maximus you could move them that way.

Just thought of something, is USB Debugging enabled on your phone now? That could be the problem.
So in settings>About>Software information>More: keep tapping the build number will activate the dev options

Here's one for you boys,
Successfully rooted .77, LB on D6653 (thanks to zombiej79). Everything's running smoothly except for Screenshots. I get the "Content may be protected or the memory may be full" every time. Now some may think this isn't a big issue but i screenshot almost 20 times a day. its a major buzzkill.
Before you ask it's not while running an app its even on my homescreen/lockscreen. I've tried the following with no success:
- Downloading third party screenshot app with SU access
- Manually deleting the Pictures folder and sceenshots folder then recreating
- Wiping Change/Dalvik Cache
- Re-setting permissions in Recovery
If anyone has any idea's besides re-flashing it'd be greatly appreciated. If flashing is the only way can someone direct me to a guide on how to do it without re-rooting and downloading all my apps etc.
Just a thought have you flashed latest relese recovery? Maybe a r/w problem get root browser and try and set system to r/w see if it works

Yeah! 2.8.1 nut's dual recovery? I've tried the whole r/w and no success.
The weird thing is I can't seem to delete the Pictures folder. It just comes back instantly every time after a refresh and I can't make another one (it doesn't tell me i can't it just disappear/reappears after i create/delete it), which makes me assume its the permissions, but all other r/w features work perfectly.
Do you save them to internal or sd?

Try this too sre if it can capture the screen
Okay the SD card fix did nothing, it's telling me everything already has the permissions. As for the screenshot app it worked, because it didn't save in the default location (/sdcard/pictures/screenshots) it saved in it's own app folder. Which brings me back to the fact I have no permissions in my internal storage. is their a way to change the Sony default screenshot save location?
It honestly has me stumped. Everytime i try to manually delete the folder @ sdcard/Pictures/Screenshots it will instantly re-create both folders it's self with a time stamp of 30/4/1970 and be non-writable.
Try settin your date and time manualy reboot and see what happens. Been trying to find something to help but not really sure. The folder have these permissions?
Only other thing I can think is reflash the. 77 zip dont wipe see if that corrects it. Wont lose any data that way

Solved.
So, I've narrowed it down to all Stock Xperia folders i can't change permissions or don't have permissions. Weird. but I've worked around it. I couldn't change/delete/rename or modify the folders without them suddenly re-appearing. But the system let me cut/move them (strange i know). so I've completely moved all folders to a trash folder and re-created new ones. and Bam. it works.
Here's a screenshot of my fully rooted working phone. Wish i could pay ya back for your efforts mate thanks!
Awesome man glad you got it worked out. No worries just happy to help thats how a Z3 should look
