[Q] How to completely Remove a system app? - HTC Desire S

I know there are a lot of apps on market which are used to remove system apps, but i want an app which can completely remove an application with apk as well as its services, i have tried some apps but they found apk with a lot of services(that i don't know which app they belong to), as i know every system has two or more services running every time, so can anyone tell me how to remove them completely(just like a user app)

I use titanium backup

[APP] Silent App Uninstaller for ROOT Users V1.0 just released on the market

This is an ultimate tool on App management designed for ROOT users. The main function that this app delivers is to uninstall your apps and backup them.
We know that there're tons of other apps on the market could do those jobs fine, so we don't want to make another similar app, we want to make it unique and really makes your mobile life easier.
As the name of this app says, we can uninstall apps silently. Here term "silently" means to uninstall apps without clicking "confirm" again and again! All you need to do is just choose which apps you don't need on your phone and simply click "Uninstall", then leaves the job to us.
This app is designed only works on rooted phones, so you have to root your phones first. If you don't root your phone you cannot use this app.
Also please check out our more apps, including the best and leading file manager app File Expert, which is used by millions of people in the world.
Silent app installation feature is coming soon!

Thanks for the info. I'll test the app.
Thanks for the app! Works great on EVO 4G.
Seemed to work great on my EVO. All I ask is a way to see the size of installed apps and to be able to sort apps by things like size, date, name, etc...
Does it also remove system applications?

After install, I went to see if it does indeed uninstall system apps as advertised. It listed no system apps, in fact it didn't even list all 3rd party apps.. I closed the app and went to uninstall but not only is this uninstaller app not listed to uninstall through app manager in another 3rd party uninstaller, it has no drawer launcher icon to reopen the app. Now I have to terminal in to get rid of it. Aside that, the app itself is a very basic uninstaller app that is far better provided in already established apps. Just my experience though.
Post Edit: After rebooting, the app appeared in the app drawer and I was able to uninstall it. Can't uninstall system or bloatware apps? What gives?
Install Manager Pro is a far more comprehensive app management software.

+1 all of these things would be a good addition
Does it remove the Application Data and then the Application? I want to make sure the apps' data is not left behind and also removed!
Usually my procedure is to STOP the app if its runneing, then deleting data, then deleting the app. I always want to make sure, nothing is left behind. Some uninstallers just remove the main app but leave data files behind... just trash!

If you make it to remove system apps, it will be the perfect product. You are already using the root features, why not make it complete? I will donate, once you implement this feature.

Removing Unwanted Apps.

I have bought some apps from the Android Market which I no longer want to use. Is there any way to remove them from my "Not Installed" list on Android Market?
This is not a Galaxy Note related problem but a general Android related one. So in the general Android forum you will get much easier and faster an answer.

'No, there isn't' would've been a much shorter reply
This is the one Android annoyance nobody seems to care about doing anything to fix.
There must be some leftover bits and pieces somewhere to remove from apps that get into Not Installed. On my phone the only apps that have gone there are four out of the many pre-installed apps I had no use for.
I've never had any other apps, sideloaded or market downloads, go to not installed after uninstalling with the built in app management.
Using other tools like SDX Stock App Remover can cause that to happen. For some of those, using SDX to put the apk back then using root explorer to remove it fixed the not installed entry.
Searching for a way to remove all trace of Sprint's NASCAR and football apps, TeleNav and Samsung MediaHub.
Titanium Backup shows there's some database files for two of them but does not show the full path to their location.
When someone with a lot of Android knowledge gets annoyed by that, then we'll see a fix. until then it looks like we're stuck with junk we do not want on our phones.
The history is held on Google's server. If you do a wipe-data+cache on the market app, that's all you can do on the phone end, beyond that it's just pulling data from Google.
Have a look at all the junk on your market account on the website.

So this was a describing this app. I want that first, we can download apps and we can use it for permanent. Secondly, I can use another apps in class. Thirdly, we unlock apps that was blocked. Finally, this was a very hard for me. This three apps has administrator rights. If we want to release it, this tab is restarting. This app is asssociated with chungdahm learning. I want you to we can use another apps for permanent, next, use another apps in class, thirdly, I want to unlock apps that blocked. Finally, to release administrator rights. I will link it for Dropbox. It has cdi launcher 2.4.20, cdi guardian 2.2.9
Sorry but I'll upload cdi utility later. So I want you to modify these three apps.

Contrary to the popular belief, XDA is not a site that will help you to "hack" into anything. If certain apps are blocked at your college, it will be for a reason.
I am sorry, you will have to look else where.

Do not download apps from untrusted market places

Hello guys,
This is a news of 1 month ago, but I want to share what we developers have discovered debugging our apps.
There is a new trojan in town, something that is injected in the APKs and starts to download other apps and track you down. It's easy to be found but for developers it's impossible to remove it because it comes from an altered version of the original APK.
It's important to understand that with some work is possible to alter an app and to publish it on third party stores.
I highly suggest to download apps only on google play or amazon. If you really need to download an app, be really careful and scan the apk. If you get a crash check the logcat and if you find something like this "com.walkfreestub" clean your phone immediately.
These are some experiences by the devs:

bad Manners?

Is it bad manners to ask which of the system apps in a custom ROM can be safely uninstalled? I don't want to insult anyone that put in hours and hours of work to make our lives better, But i don't see the need for Chrome and Internet, to list an example.
What you guys think?

no its not.. but there are some bad implication for removing some apps.. make sure you know which system app can be removed safely and what are not.
thanks Reyscott1968. I will be certain to ask, Also which is the most common way to remove apps from system. Using a root explorer. or some app.. the system app manager just has the "disable" feature.

use titanium backup or similar app.
best to make a backup of the apps first, then if you change your mind or have an issue, you can put it back.
titanium can also freeze apps, witch is basically the same as deleting but not really gone.
