I dont know which must I choose to remove the apps on system/app . I hope you guys help me solve this problem. thanks before.

Use Link2sd to uninstall unwanted apps, but first you should root your phone

It is not suggested and you can disable those unwanted app in the setting -> app management, therefore they will not show in the drawer again.

@ellynepain actually you should be able to sync contacts without installing gapps at all !

[Q] Google Play disappeared

Hi,
Samsung Galaxy SII user here.
This afternoon I noticed the Google Play icon was missing from my homescreen.
I've searched for it but it isn't in my applications or in the manage applications list.
How do I get it back?
Please help!
Hello mate,
Check out this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1550167 it has a link to the play stores apk file. If the link is down just do a Google search for it.
Hopefully installing it again should sort it
Ok downloaded, thanks.
However I get this on opening
Sorry!
The application Google Play Store
(process com.android.vending) has
stoped unexectedly. Please try
again
Force close
Settings->applications->manage apps->play store-> clear data
seems to have done the trick
Edit: Actually no, this hasnt worked!
Hmm, strange.. Have u got a custom rom installed atm?

[Q] Help needed in Cyanogenmod 10.1

I have galaxy tab 2 wifi p3110. I rooted it and installed CyanogenMod ROM 10.1 on it. I am satisfied with it. However, I would like to change 2 things.
I prefer Google Play Music than that stock Apollo music app. I cant find a way to uninstall that app.
Does uninstalling it affects the CM RoM?
Also, I like the background of the app drawer to be transparent not black bcoz I dont like that Background. So, please help me out..

1) go to root/system/apps, find apollo music apk and delete it..
And it will not affect the rom..
For other system apps I suggest you to use app like root freezer, freeze the system app first to see weather it affects the functionality or not and then uninstall it(the app ahs the opt to do that)
2) every launcher has that feature :silly:
if it's helping you it must be thanked.

1) you are modifying the root folder and you must have had denied the root permission to the app...

its very easy bro!
follow these steps!
1. download root uninstaller from play store
2. open it, when it asks for root access, allow it!
3. find whichever app you want to delete!
bravooooooooooo!!! u deleted it! ))
:good::good:
Rooot uninstaller works too.
So does Titanium Backup.
As for transparent back you can get nove launcher.
go to nova settings> app drawer and then choose desired transparency.

Few question for which i need answers

Hello @all
I have a few questions, please reply
Q1. I installed various apps and then changed my ROM. After installing the new ROM i used some of the apps previously installed and backed up and discarded rest of the apps. Now when i login to play store it shows all the apps as installed which i previously installed even those apps which i dont even currently have. So how to correct the status at play store site?
I want play store to show only those apps which i have currently installed, I keep my google sync on generally.
Q2. Request users to share their experience for this. Which is the best music player app.
I use viper so sound is not a problem, I need interface, attractive, ease to use and most important this it should be Beautiful.
Q3. I am using a custom ROM, its beautiful, efficient and upto the mark, i don't want to change it but the ROM have one problem. If i install any app in SD card then after the reboot the app disappears. I searched a little and found that many have faced the problem but couldn't get a proper solution. So if Any one has any information about this please share.

First,
This should be a cache issue, which may get restored when you restoring apps.
Clear everything of play services and play store from setting/apps would be fine I guess..
Best player is poweramp, it have inbuilt equaliser which enhance audio automatically and you also get options to edit equaliser also.
Maven player is also very awesome.. Very beautiful
You can get both cracked on poweramp.
I never install any app to SD coz we have a huge more than 1 gb for apo installing.
So you can ignore that by not installing apps to sd.

1). Backup all apps again.. And reboot ur phone itno recovery and from there wipe data and cache.
2). Poweramp is the best.. Im also using it right now.
3). No need to install in the sd card.. There is lot of space in A110. And if not then i think wiping data may solve this issue too.

Bro.. i just want to answer your Q1 because other 2 questions have been answered rightly by @jaunty bro :good:
for every ROM you flash it has different name.. so google treats it as a different device.
as you know one account can be used by multiple devices so the device with the current name is added to your devices list which means the apps that you installed on your previous ROM (previous device for google) is still installed on that device (google assumes)
so with this we can guess that unless you go back to that ROM and uninstall the apps it'll mark 'em as 'installed'
you can check your devices by using google play on PC.. :good:

how remove google chrome browser

hi friends how can i totally remove this chrome from xperia E ? i have rooted phone also i try using root app delete but still showing me that it goes back to factory settings
also i dont need google + kiosk google play
Try deleting it with titanium backup.
ok ok
delete it from system/app
or try to delete those apps from system/app, back up first though :cyclops:
Simplest method if your phone is rooted : Download link2sd app from playstore.
Select chrome from the app and click ->Actions->delete. It'll show that app will be replaced by factory settings. Click ok.
Then again click Actions -> Delete. That should remove it for good.

Google play services is essential. It updates you're apps. The problem is that google play services consumes a lot of ram. Solution is - convert it to user app and then greenify!!
I'm not really sure about the gapps part, though.

I believe you could remove the themes from vendor/overlay/framework, if you are not using them. If you are using any of them , then you would be in trouble.

Bloatware

Hi guys,
Quick question... I got this phone three days ago... I rooted it mostly to delete some of the bloatware... The thing is, I tried to delete the apps on the system folders, but it won't allow it... It returns an error message saying it is not possible to delete the files...
Anyone knows why this is happening and if there's a workaround?
Thanks!!!

why uninstall system applications,it is not recommended either one developers that is risky.
try this application work good.Make sure the app you are going to uninstall is not a system app.
Code:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=zsj.android.systemappremover&hl=en
install and Open Root app delete on your android phone and,Tap on System apps and tap on Pro when prompted to choose from Junior or Pro mode.
Scroll through the list of system apps and tap on any of the apps which you want to be removed from your phone.
Next tap on Uninstall to remove the unwanted app and again tap on OK to confirm your selection.
In case the app cannot be remove properly, you will see the following error. Tap on OK and then tap on #1 to force uninstall the app.
Now the unwanted app / bloatware will be removed from your android phone.

What version are you running? How did you get root?
Hi guys...
First of all, the "What???" wasn't meant for this post, for some strange reason when I replied on another forum post it did here... I'm really sorry about that...
Anyway... The phone was bugging and the root wasn't working right, that's why I wasn't able to delete the apps... I wasn't trying to delete system apps, but things like Google+ which I don't use at all...
Anyway, I'm on a D2306 from Brazil... I flashed the 4.4.2 global to get rid of the carrier apps, but I probably did something wrong while flashing and rooting it, so it was't working... I reflashed it yesterday and did the root again and it worked flawlessly...
I deleted the integrated apps I don't use and the phone is perfect now...
Thanks for all the help...
That's first thing I also do after rooting. There is so much delivered with the phone, and not few of it completely useless to me.
I think the advice not deleting system apps, hmmm .... what is a system app? Sony Home? SystemUI ? Or Google+, Gmail, Maps, Sony Select, ... all in system and unremovable without root. I understand that we need to be protected from doing harm to the phone we bought. But still I think the phone should come with a kind of admin function or semi-root to remove what is not needed. As it is it has more the smell of forcing people to using certain things.
For other apps I have different needs than what is supplied. I am lucky I can change things. As examples, for email I can use a normal email program such as K9, for sms I can use an sms messenger that actually does give repeat notifications, such as Evolve, QuicPic to me is the superior Album at 1/10 of the size, for navigation and maps I use Mapfactor bcs it has real offline navigation, and so on and on.
