so if someone out there can guide be please.
thanks in advance. and if you could advice a ROM for me( a link would be nice )
please do. THANKS YOU. :good:
you can use titanium backup from the android market to remove all them annoying apps from your phone.
First thing you want to do is install Titanium Backup, as suggested by wingie. After that, run a batch job to backup every single app you have on your phone... I mean, tablet.
After you got a full backup of everything carefully go through the list of apps removing what you want, but be careful. Not every app listed is safe to remove. Some are essential for the stock ROM to work. However, I have found this magical list here:

(original thread)
It's for the SGSII but I've used once for my SGS and it's a very good starting point for any Samsung Android device. Check your apps name and then check the list to see if it's safe to remove. Go carefully through that and you're done
Hope I've helped

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.
How To: Backup Your Apps, Data & Settings BEFORE You Root/Change ROMs on Your Device!
I recently rooted my Evo 4G and since I had been using it for a while didn't want to lose all of my settings and data and didn't want to sit for hours installing apps and trying to set them each up the way I had them beforehand. None of the root guides that I've found seem to cover this critical first step before they get into the process of rooting the device. So a lot of people root and flash a new ROM and then realize all of their stuff is gone. So, here's how to back everything up before you root or change ROMs:
1) Locate/Download/Install Z4Root to your device. (It appears as though it was removed from the market due to people using it to get temp root in order to use hot spot tethers. The apk can be found in a thread on this forum here)
2) Install Titanium Backup from the market (I recommend the full version because it makes the restore process a one touch option whereas the free one requires you to click 'Install' and then 'confirm' for each individual app which can be a royal PITA if you have lots of apps)
3) Install 'Root Check' from the market
4) Launch Z4 and use to gain temporary root access of your device. Use Root Check to make sure you indeed do have root access.
5) Launch Titanium Backup and grant superuser permissions where necessary
6) Click the center option at the top of the screen after Titanium checks all possible scenarios. Scroll through the options and find the option (usually has the highest number on the right... or real close to it) that backs up all your apps + system data and settings. Allow it to complete this process which can take a bit.
7) Once this is complete back out of Titanium Backup and reboot your device. This will remove the temporary root access from the device. When the device has settled run Root Check one last time to make sure don't have root access.
8) Proceed with your favorite root/ROM process & enjoy not having to waste hours setting up your phone again the way you had it. When you recover make sure you chose the option to recover all missing apps and all data/settings because if you choose to recover ALL apps you can run into issues with the apps it tries to override.
Now, sometimes there are minor issues from ROM to ROM or device to device when you backup from one platform and then recover on another but for the most part it will save you a LOT of time. You can also try a reboot or two after you recover which can help with some settings that don't show up immediately after a recover. I did this before rooting my Evo 4G and it worked flawlessly.
Thanks and hopefully that helps.
Cool. I never thought about backing up while in temp root. Good find.

Should be fine as it's still just app data. I haven't personally tested it to confirm though so proceed at your own risk.
Hi to all,
I read many forums about and I didn't found solution.
I have rooted Samsung Galaxy S2. I have problem with removing some of pre-installed apps, they don't remove from my phone. After uninstalling with Titanium Backup Free in backup/restore list they disappear, but icon on desktop and apps remains. After reboot they come back in backup/remove list of Titanium Backup like nothing happened. I already uninstalled a lot of pre-installed apps but two of them don't want.
Also I tried with Root App Remover but it said syntax error unexpected: "(".
Any suggestion?
Best regards!
you have to root your device with the Customs ROM, search in forum.
Thank you for quick replay.
Is that the last option, flashing the ROM?
Right now I have XWKDD_insecure kernel, Android 2.3.3, Baseband XWKE4.
Could help XWKE7_original kernel?
Go to Market and download Root App Remover.
change rom
Root explorer, use it to delete from system/app or data/app.
Thank you guys, I done it. Without changing the ROM.
Best regards to all!
Also titanium back up is an easy way to delete any app on the phone quick and easy
woops didn't read post all the way please delete my last post and this one!
I cant post a link, but (sdx stock app remover)works great to back up and uninstall apps. Its not in the market but you can get the apk for it threw a google search.

Root uninstaller from market
I have a sgh-t869 rooted with super user and I am trying to get rid of all the factory tmobil crap apps they put on it is there a safe way to no what are operating systems and what are apps I can trash. Another question is what is the best rom to use for best preformance.
Thanks for any info
you can use Root Toolbox on market if you know the name of the apk this will create a backup to reinstall it later
***EDIT***
sometime you need to do it 2 time to be sure the app is uninstalled!
To get rid of all that stuff: just make a backup of your bloatware loaded stock rom cia cwm. Afterwards, download Paranoid Android from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32915499
Follow instructions and be happy! =p
Iam running this for a couple of weeks now, its almost perfect!
Have fun!
Hi everyone,
I have a Master Smartphone550 with android 4.4.2. On this device the on board memory is easily filled, so, was trying a way to move almost everything in the sd. I tried with adb(but without sdk tool, only adb)(pm set-install-location 2) but it won't let me move the apps even if the change i've done seems to be ok. So I tried to root the phone and, according to a 3rd I found on xda, I tried with iroot...of course it failed but, more then that, my phone was full of s**t installed with that software.... I proceded then with a factory reset, but it didn't remove that s**t...so the only thing i've been able to do is deactivate kingroot and a sort of crap software called settings that opens like 6-7 processes that open ads every 5 sec...the phone is now apparently clean (but apps are still there) but the end of the story is that my situation is worse than the beginning...
Now, honestly I don't know how to proceed. Of course I don't have a backup of the rom before installing kingroot.
The question is, especially now with those bad softwares on the phone, is there a chance to root it? How can I do that?
According to antutu it seems to have a MTK 6582 as processor.
If you need any information I'll do all I can to give it to you.
P.S. I'm sorry for the long post and thanks if you arrived here.
P.S.S. I'm really sorry if there are errors in the 3d but English isn't my first language, I hope it is clear and understandable.
Thanks to everyone.
As I understand, only KingRoot was able to root your phone, and now you whant it to be replaced by non-adware-root-supersu
If so, follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/a310/general/how-to-remove-replace-kingroot-kinguser-t3308989
If the script doesn't remove all of KingRoot, simply search for files named *king* and decide, if they belog to KingRoot, and delete if they do.
If it doesn't work, try replacing every "rm" command in the script with "rm-Rf" and maybe add a "sync"-command here and there…

Thanks for the reply, but the problem is that the phone is NOT rooted(kingroot failed on everything except installing his s**t in my phone) and the only way I have to delete everything is root the phone...the point is how can I do that this point?
EDITK, I've done it. The phone is rooted... king root is installed and using titanium backup I managed to delete the ads app. I've frozen app here and there and phone seems to be ok. Any advice of things I can delete? Do you think it is really necessary to change kingroot for SU? Can it stay...let's say...clean?

I'd replace it, because TitaniumBackup sais that su-version could cause mistakes - and replacing isn't that hard. But if you don't run into trouble, root-access still works and you really got rid of the bold adds from KingRoot – you might as well keep it as it is ^^
