Hi Team,
Is there anyway that we can uninstall pre bundled apps in ROM. For example i dont want Messaging app and i want to uninstall it as im more comfortable with Handcent SMS messaging application.
Thanks
Note: Sorry if its a repost
Titanium Backup will do it...you have to be rooted.
Thanks Mate
Downloaded gona try it
Uninstalled .. Didnt help or may be i dont know how to use it ....
Just open the rom zip on your PC, and browse to the system/apps and delete what you don't want, then flash it.

In TB (after giving it SU via busybox) select Backup/Restore, find/select your app, & then select Un-Install.
If I go into /system/app the apps I've "frozen" with Titanium don't seem to be renamed or altered. So how does it disable them?
Im asking because Id like to get rid of Titanium backup, I don't use any of it's features other than the freeze so would be better if I could just do that myself..
I'm not sure, I haven't ever frozen an app with titanium. What I can tell you though, is that if you go into /system/app and move apps out or in, android will automatically note these changes. This means that you can blow out anything in the app folder and it will be uninstalled from your device. Be careful though, if you remove something you really need for your phone to run, you might have problems. I'd go for a nandroid backup first for this reason.

Thanks for the info. Maybe I could put the question another way..
Can anyone recommend an app to manage/disable unwanted apps to save having to go in and find/rename apks manually?
Just an update for anyone with the same problem, found the answers on the following threads:

Requiers root and USB debugging on!
App freezing requires to use the integrated 'pm' tool which hangs when debugging is off!
In any case you can check the app System Tuner which freezes apps very easily:

I frozen com.android.music.apk (Stock music player) from my Galaxy Advance with Titanium Backup. When I wanted to Defrost Titanium Backup tell me that app has been defrosted, but the app stil frozen, navy color in Titanium Backup. I tried 10 times and don't defrost. Next, because I have backup of this app I have uninstaled with titanium, and now trying to restore it. But titanium tell me "Restoring..." and don't restore, even if I let it 30 minutes with this message "Restoring app..."
So because I have rooted my phone I have tryied to put music.apk in /system/app folder, setting the permisons, the file is there and have rw-r--r-- permisions but the app is not accesible from app drawer. What can I do to restore my Stock Music Player?
Can anyone help me ?

Are you still restoring in the same ROM that you originally froze the app? The Android version is more important, but sometimes, the ROM makes a difference too.
yes, the same ROM. Stock ROM of Galaxy Advance. Only ROOT-ed.
android ver. 2.3.6
in the same ROM happened soȘ
1.Frozen Stock Music Player
2.tried defroze whithout succes. Titanium said was defrost, but in fact remained frozen, and colored in navy in Titanium, with "Defrost" option enabled. So can't defroze
3.Uninstalled with titanium whitout defrozing
4.So because I have rooted my phone I have tryied to put music.apk in /system/app folder, setting the permisons, the file is there and have rw-r--r-- permisions but the app is not accesible from app drawer.
What can i do to have it back in app drawer ?
Well, I only froze an application once in TB, and I defrost it with no problem. But, somehow another app still recognized it...so I do not know if freezing apps are helping as much as they are hurting.
But my last tip before I give up...for now. Uninstall, and try restoring only the app and not the data and tell me what happens.
And of course, if all else fails, backup data and reflash the Rom.

tried! is telling me "Restoring..." and can stay 3 hours with this message. I need to kill titanium to close this.
another ideea ?
You can also freeze/unfreeze through link2sd, which many Android users have on their device anyway.
on my Galaxy S Advance I can't unfreeze any frozen app. No with Titanium, No with Link2SD
Look! I have frozen Yahoo News with Link2SD. Now I can't defroze it. I can try to defroze 10 times. Look at this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2th5cGvOYKw
why it's freeze but can't unfreeze ? I got no error!

congratulations for successfully rooted your phone!
get Link2SD app from playstore, install it. click here.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD
open the app, and choose any app you wanted to uninstall by holding the listed app there.
always be aware by not removing system app that can cause your phone fails in some processes.

Hi,
Link2Sd is a better one to uninstall unwanted apps.
But my suggestion is, use TITANIUM BACKUP pro, it requires ROOT. As you had rooted your phone, so you can easily use it.
It's a powerful tool, to simply uninstall in-built apps and unwanted apps, most importantly by using this app you can backup your entire phone's applications along with the data... you can restore them whenever you want.. JUST GIVE IT A TRY..
I'm also using the SAMSUNG GALAXY S DUOS GT S7562:good::good::good::good::good:::good:

the easiest way is using re-explorer and delete an .apk in /system/app/, but pay attention NOT to delete any known system key apk, you can google and know if one .apk can be removed or not
You can also freez apps.

I've Rooted Gionee M2 8GB (KitKat). I have uninstalled some system apps . They uninstalled successfully as these apps are no more in the applications. But after i do a reset these are installed again.
I know its not a problem as I never face one. But I wanna remove those apps so that they don't come again with a reset. Is there any way to do this??
Use system app remover.apk
Hi, to permanently remove the apps, you need a system app remover, I have linked good one below, however, it does require root access.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en
You have to remove it from thia directory...
Root/system/app/
By removing from here it will not come back by reseting..
Use root explorer for this action...

Titanium Backup is possibly the best app for a rooted phone. It will uninstall any app.
You can go into TWRP, mount System partition, then hit the FileManager under Advanced, and then change permissions/delete files/folders accordingly.
But be careful, there seems to be some wierd dependencies going on in there, and you end up with some random FCs here and there after removing bloat app folders and such.
My personal advice if you want to be free of headaches, just 'freeze' the apps using say 'Advanced Tools' from appstore (my recommended app freezer and general swiss-army tool).
