I have installed the "Deodexed Stock ROM (4.1.2)" from Darkman on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. Went well, thanks! But now, how can I deinstall system apps like Dropbox or others? In the normal App-Manager, I dont have the button "Deinstall", only the buttom "Deinstall Updates".
Thanks!
Titanium backup or a file explorer..I use root explorer, but there are plenty others out there.

Thanks for answering.That means just deleting the files/folder and rebooting? What is the path to the apps?
In a file explorer, it will be system/apps. Select the app and delete it. It has to be a file explorer that can get root priveleges. In titanium backup it just brings up a list of apps. You can use the free version to do what you need. I would suggest using Titanium Backup, as it is probably the easiest to use for what you want to do.
Thanks!

If we were to delete the ATT apps with TiBackup, couldn't we sideload them back on (for god knows what reason?) ?
Yup! I did it when I thought removing an AT&T app had screwed up my WiFi, but the problem was something else, so then I took it off again (once put on manually, you can take it off again using the settings screen).
Yeah, if you can find the .apk file, then you can install it. Or if you backed them up with Titanium Backup, you can reinstall them that way.

This is not correct. Titanium backup does not backup the .apk file of system apps. However, you can find the .apk elsewhere and install with no problems.
AT&T is more than happy to provide you with their "Pay Us" apps. You can get all the AT&T apps from their website.
( i feel dirty typing "media net" )

Doesnt Titanium Backup backup the apk's and put them in a .tar.gz file?
If those arent the apk's in those .tar.gz files, whats in them? and what good are they and what good is it to backup your apps with Titanium Backup?
Here is what it says had to remove it as it was fcin

have the same problem with you..
ppl here suggest use root explorer, go tos system/data/app/ and search for a file with titanium backup odex extension and delete it.,
me myself, try to do those thing above but find no titanium backup extension..
Next time use titanium backup to create an "update.zip" to flash right after you flash whatever rom you want. The update.zip is just the program to install onto your device so you don't have to hunt for the apk in the market.
I'll attach mine to see if it'll help.
According to the How To for One XL guide that was posted, after rooting I should be able to remove the ATT bloatware by simply deleting the listed apps under system/apps.
Using ES File Explorer, I'm not allowed to delete, is there a reason or am I missing a step?
Thanks!
Not sure about es file explorer, but root explorer loads system as read only by default. Check to see if there's an option to mount as read-write.

In ES File Explorer, under Settings, you need to check both "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System" near the bottom of the options.
But I never use ES for deleting bloat. I just use Titanium Backup.

or just flash the cleanRom lite from the developer thread ... ( if you are bootloader unlocked )
Thanks guys, got it to work, just had to mount the root.
I would suggest using Titanium Backup. If space used is not a problem, you can simply "freeze" them so they disappear or you can simply uninstall them.
Hi all,
In order to show the SMS's sent timestamp, I replaced the system's messaging app with handcent message. I backup all the following apps with Titanium backup, and uninstall them by Titanium uninstalling function.
Conversations.apk
Messaging.apk
MessageWidget.apk
UniversalInbox.apk
But the Titanium backup failed to restore the system messaging app after experiment. When i want to restore the apps referred ahead, the Titanium frozen.
And I extract all the apps from a ROM, and want to restore them by "Systemapp Remover". The remover show success, and i reboot the phone, but nothing changed. and i found in the systemapp remover interface, all the 4 apps' status were "disabled".
I think a backup from a running Atrix 2 will help my restore all the apps.
so does anybody can backup all the four system apps by "Systemapp remover", zip the SD:\SystemAppBack folder, and email the zipped file to me. and i will try restore them.
Thank you in advanced, i do not want to reflash my phone. Thank you in advanced.

First off, you should never uninstall or delete system apps, you should always freeze them, that way if you have a problem and need them later you can just defrost them.
Second, the core phone apps like messaging and dialer should never be frozen or removed, they are needed even by replacement apps such as Handcent.
Third, you can get those apps from any ROM that still has the stock apps such as SCv6 or better yet the Stock Monster which is in the Themes and Apps section. Just download, then unzip the ROM and go to the /system/app folder. If you get it from a de-odexed ROM just grab the apk files, if you get them from an odexed ROM (such as The Stock Monster) make sure you grab both the apk and the odex files for each app.
Lastly, please research before doing things to anything in the /system folder...messing up something there is a sure fire way to get stuck in a bootloop or softbrick.

Wait! The (now defunct) Stock Monster doesn't have those apps... Try Romulus if you are still on stock odexed, or Remus if you are deodexed - they both have most of the stock apps.
Also, you need the classes.dex file in the deodexed apks, so you couldn't just grab the apks only from the Stock Monster anyway if you are deodexed.
In fact, are you odexed or deodexed? I could throw those apps in a CWM recovery zip real quick for you...
Hi alteredlikeness,
Thank you so much.
but i used systemapp remover instead of recovering the zip file sent by you. But the same, all the 4 apps restored, but status were "disabled" even if rebooting the phone.
I'm wondering whether there was a file recorded the system files' hashing key? so i restore the file with system app remover always fails.

I have no experience with systemapp remover.. did you try to flash the zip through cwm recovery?
My thought is maybe the permissions are not correct.. you can check and change the permissions with root explorer, or use the "fix permissions" option in cwm recovery.

Browse the /system/app/ directory with Root Explorer, all the 8 files permission were correct, and i reboot the phone, but all the apps were still disabled.
Thank all, i had recover all the files from a backup files from the same version. Maybe android will check the system apps' version or MD5 hash.
Hi guys
I so not promote piracy or sharing a paid version of app in free.
This guide is for those who have actually bought tha app and now they have changed their device.
So download es file manager and swipe from left edge. There you will find many options tap on library and a dropdown menu opens up. In that menu you tap on apps and the user appa will own up
Long press on paod apps amd then click on backup.
The backup apps will be stored on the internal sd card in a folder named backup.
NOW WE HAVE THE APP BUT WHAT ABOUT THE DATA AMD SETTINGS OF THE APPS
dont worry i have a solution for that also.
Download titanium backup and busybox.
Imstall both of then amd open busybox amd click on smart install and close it
Open titanium backup and on the top tiles click on backup tile.
Apps will open. Now select thae app which you backuped using es file manager and in the menu opened.in front of you click on backup.
The apps data and settingd will.be stored in a titanium backup folder.
NOW WE HAVE APK.DATA.SETTINGS OF PAID APPS
copy the backup and titamium backup folder on the new device and imstall all es file explorer,busy box,titanium backup.
Setup.busybox as before and imstall the apks from backup folder.
After installing the apk open titanium backup amd goto backup amd click on same app amd click on restore.
After doimg this for all apps you have a full paid app from your previous device to new device.
With all data and settimgs lile before.
This is a guide for those alteady having paid apps.
Do mot use this for piracy.
Peace
i can do any thing except damaging your device. GOD DOES NOT DO THAT
Woah groundbreaking

Why use es file Explorer? Titanium backup can do all the backing up.... Paid and free apps, and data in one step. Then transfer the backup folder to a cloud server or pc..... Done.
:good:

Because that would be too easy. I've used Titanium Backup for years and it works great. No need for another app.
If he just said back it up using TiBu there would be no guide for him to make

In my case i use a custom rom made by me and in thatbrom my titanium fails to backup apps
