I've got a custom rom which includes some non-stock launchers I can not uninstall the normal way, they're buggy and I rather not flash the rom again.
Is there any way to get rid of the launchers together with some other preinstalled apps via the use of ie a file manager with root access?
Or do I have to boot into recovery and muck about with aroma and other things just to get the job done?
Also, is there a way to install stock JB launcher from a Gapps package, if so, which would be the proper one to pick?
I'm running 4.1.2, downloaded gapps 20121011 which seemingly did not include it.
Thanks a bunch to anyone willing to give a headsup on this question!

Hi there, i just installed Nexusginger rom (took it from italian android forum) on my GF's P500... she hates Dolphin browser and would like to use the stock one. i tried installing it on her phone but just running the apk to install it fails and moving it to system/apps, setting permissions to allow anyone to do anything makes it appear on apps drawer but not launch.
Can anyone lend me a hand?
Thanks a lot.
A.
So basically what I have done is I simply flashed open gapps pico package around 40mb in size from TWRP on stock rom 5.1 of Moto g3.
The results are as you can guess all the google apps that came preinstalled in the device were removed now you can see only core apps needed for playstore functionality. It removed Google app and Google now launcher too so before flashing you should install any third party launcher and integrate it in system too(optional).
It improved performance and battery life a bit and let me get rid of unwanted Google apps and the needed apps I have downloaded them from playstore.
So try it take a backup before hand if you wanna revert back(why will you do that.)
Installation
The Google Applications packages should be installed via recovery. Exact steps vary, but the general process is the same as that used to install CyanogenMod, or any other flashable zip.

Nope! Stock is the best. There are few Roms, but all of them have bugs and fcs. Plus they are lot slower than Stock.
1. Root It.
2. Backup Your rom.
3.Use Nova Launcher as it is Highly customizable.
4. Install any System App Uninstaller to remove Samsung blot.
NOTE- Be careful about what u delete some apps are important for the phone to work.
5. Use Floating Stickies, Es File Explorer and uninstall default File manager, memo. Totally up to you.
6. Use QuickPic, Snap camera, ExDialer instead using the stock ones.
Ps.- Don't uninstall the Stock Camera, Gallery or Dialer, Just hide them from App Drawer using Nova Launcher.
7. Install Xposed Installer.
8. Use apps like Greenify/ Amplify to cut out battery drains.
9. GravityBox/Xblast or other xposed apps for tweaks.
10. Don't use any Cleaner.
Done. Your Stock rom should work a lot better than other available Roms.
hi :highfive:,Running CM14.1 and thanks to Alberto
i want to Uninstall Some CM apps , because i like the way new Google apps are having LONG PRESS OPTIONS
so i have installed several Googleapps ( which are having LONG PRESS OPTIONS) now when i goto my APP DRAWER i see many apps DOBULED (cm apps and Google apps - both are sitting sidebyside in my app drawer)
i dont want CMapps, soooo...
can i remove them?? if i remove them does CM14.1 start behaving wierd??
and another thing is i want Stock Google apps to take CMapps place like system apps
( i can manually goto ES explorer and change to systemapps, but i got a doubt!! )
do these new system-apps get Playstore updates?? as normal apps??
Things i want to remove:
CM - calender, contacts, phone(dialer), Filemanager, messenger, camera,caluculator,Clock,Gallery
-----------------
i want to replace all of them will Google apps and Moto apps
so can anyone suggest me things to do/ not to do???
are those apps mentioned above safe to remove/replace??
Use a Gapps package that is more complete... like Stock or Full, or maybe even Super but I'm not sure there is room in the system partition. Stock and Full will replace embedded apps with Google apps (look at the detail here). Otherwise you can use TiBu or something to write over the stock apps, but they will just get replaced again on the next nightly you flash.
The only thing you need to do is reflash the rom but now this time use Gapps aroma installer from opengapps.org in that zip you can do everything you want like selecting and removing apps. you can select which googleapp you want to use and which stock cm app you wnat to remove.
so recently I accidentally wiped everything on my phone except TWRP. Then I managed to boot up the phone with liquid remix installed with android 9.0 and now my phone is missing the Samsung apps (which I want on my phone) how can I get them back is there a flashable file or any installable pack I really want them back
so if someone can help please tell me what to do I will really appreciate it
Aosp based roms and Samsung apps usually don't mix very well.
You could backup your Samsung apps using Titanium backup, then try to install them one by one in your android 9.
You could also Google for a site that has Samsung apps apk's.
Don't expect much success ?

I have the APK s I just can't download them to my device if you know how to install them can you help me or redirect me to someone else that knows what to do
I suppose you've enabled install apps from unknown sources in settings.
Try to install as you would any apk, i.e. open in file explorer.
As mentioned before, don't expect them to install anyway (maybe 1 out of 20??); most are not compatible with aosp roms.
For your aosp custom rom - look for similar gapps or apps from the app store or XDA.
