You need to root your phone or install a custom ROM.

I tryied many custom roms but i like stock better. I can add as many mods I like to make it looks/act as I like. So there is not other way?

Rerun remove bloatware script from cwm after reset. By this way you do not need to select each app individually. Check xda.

If it doesn't work try using titanium backup: do a backup of the app then uninstall it. It a more long in terms of time but it works!

As stated by others, there are ways of doing it using TB or similar, but you will need root. If you do a 'Factory Reset' however, it does what it says - resets to factory defaults.

Ah ok, and whats the command for it? Sorry, for all these questions but tbh I was never deep in the software scene or else.
Do you still have root? You can just use root explorer to copy it over to system/app/blabla.apk
But for adb you have to mount the system, then push the files. This is enough info for google keywords
However, from my experience the x10 doesn't like reinstalling system apps. Best chance is to back up everything with titanium backup and reflash.

Reflashing is not necessary... Do you have windows or mac? I'll make you a script so that it will load it on it's own.

[Q] Re-Odexing a rom?

Is it possible to re-odex a deodex rom? It could be great if someone could introduce me a program that could re-odex a rom.
You can do it with the latest version of Titanium Backup.
Just a tip, do a backup of everything (also the rom) prior to do that, sometimes this could be dangerous and you have to flash the rom again. And be careful with the space you have on your ROM.
I am using it (titanium backup) and the first time i ****ed up and i had to reflash everything again. But now, I am very happy. This is the best feature in titanium for me and all is working perfect.
If you need help, ask me!

You need a pro version. If you see the new features, one is this:
-Integrate Dalvik cache system elements into ROM, which can free up internal memory as well
That actually odex your system elements.

yes it is. But 2 advices: first backup everything (just in case); second, check the space in the rom.

Then select the account you want. In the next screen select "Remove Account"...
Or something similar should be there in your version of android. You'll find this in Settings in the place where you have the Auto Sync option...

Yes that's one possible way but you loose your applications & data if you do that.
You can flash your stock ROM again if you want. Which country are you from & what is your current firmware version ?

Anyways you can flash the stock ROM released for India for your device without a factory reset.

Missing People App

Hi all I tried searching and googling and couldn't find the answer or someone else having my problem. When I try to add a new contact I get the error "Re-enable the people application to use this feature" simple enough right? The only issue is I do not have a People app in my app settings or app drawer. Any ideas? Can anyone post the apk if possible? Really clueless as to how this happened. Phone info: rooted 4.4.2 w/ busy box and xposed framework w/ gravity box.

Hi,
You have deleted or disabled the contact app...?
In Settings/Apps/All see if you have Contacts or go to the disabled tab and see if the Contacts app is there, if yes re-enabled it...
If deleted, take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50542791, I posted some flashable zip file for the Contacts app.

[MOD] Advanced Power Menu & Remove Kid Mode

As always flash at own risk
Remove Kid Mode and add Advanced Power Menu. Tested only on SKYFALL Deodex ROM. Should work on stock Deodexed ROMs.
Download MAIN LINK or MIRROR
Wipe cache
Flash like you would normally
Works on both TWRP and CWM Enjoy!

I can verify this works with TWRP. Hallelujah I have my advanced power menu back AND a new ROM!
does this work on the stock rom?
Umm.....
Not to be a smart aleck...
Bud did you read the OP? If says it was tested ONLY with SkyFall DEODEX ROM, which is pretty much a stock ROM.
Isn't kid mode already removed on Skyfall by default? It appears to be gone on v.1.3 that I 'm running.
You can delete kid mode from apps...the power menu would be nice. ?

I am on stock rom, S-off and root.
I just did a Nandroid backup from CWM, flashed this in recovery, rebooted and didn't do anything. Tried a reboot...
On reboot I got nothing when I held down the power button. Did a hard reboot, checked again, normal menu popped up, no change :/
So for now restored my Nandroid, and will see if anyone has suggestions.

Whether he read the OP or not isn't a relative point for what he wrote. He wrote it didn't work on the odexed version of SkyFall - the OP wrote that he only tested it on the deodexed version, not that it only worked on the deodexed; big difference. I actually found his post to be useful because it let me know that I can't flash it since I'm running Skyfall 1.3 odex.
tl;dr
