use link2sd or titanium backup to uninstall system apps.
or use a root explorer go to system>app>smart connect.apk delete and reboot

Do not use the latter option. It will cause problems.
Instead use an app called "/system/app mover". Select the app and move it, reboot your phone and then go to apps. Select Smart Connect and uninstall it.

Download the app "/system/app mover" from the play store and convert it to a user app and uninstall it like that.

I used to go through a root browser and delete them. It ended up giving force closes and freezes as it couldn't locate the app for the data it has.

I use root explorer app system>bin then I select a system app then options delete.. or just select any app from the list on link2sd/titanium backup and select uninstall.. simple as it is.. I don't understand why you face problem in UNinstalling. it's just a cakewalk

ROM toolbox is a good free app to do all of what's said in this thread

download Titanium Backup from playstore:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
alows you to backup applications, remove applications, freeze applications (donation version is required to freeze i think)

you can do this with
Link2SD app. It's free & also you can freeze apps
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD

Use any ROOT File explorer
If you want to just uninstall apps, and not care to backup/freeze them, then you can also use any file explorer with Root Capabilities, like Root Explorer, Root Browser , ES File Explorer (my favorite, lovely GUI ) , since you also get the added bonus of any other file explorer (browsing files, copying, pasting etc. )
After you install, Grant superuser permissions and then go to /system/app.
Then you'll have to mount the directory as R/W. [For ES File Explorer, bring up the side menu (swipe left-to-right, click Root Explorer, click Mount R/W, and select /system from the list.
Now, locate the apk of the corresponding app you want to uninstall, and just delete it!
[Yeah, I know this method is a bit complex than others, but an effective alternative]:good:

Download SystemCleanup from the play store. It tells you what system apps are safe to remove so you don't delete something you shouldn't.

[Q] Help with Kingo Root

I tried to root my device "Infinix Hot" Which apparently has the same build as HTC devices using KingoRoot
5 min after i plugged my device to my pc and had usb debugging on and kingoroot installing drivers it displayed a message "Root success"
But i noticed that my device didn't reboot during the process , which goes against what i have read..........
So i rebooted it manually , and now i have an app called "KingoUser" that i can only disable but not uninstall even if i factory reset( I tried ) ....... But with no root access
I tried many root checking apps and they all displayed that i didn't have root access but i have SU installed
Can someone explain what is going on please?

And can someone please tell me if i can remove this "KingoUser"
Which doesn't appear to have any uses
When i open it all what's there is just a white page with only links to Kingo Websites

Try downloading ES file browser and enable root feature, see if you have root...
You never even get a toast notification from kinguser asking if you want to grant permissions??

I did try several apps from the playstore that require root access like titanium backup ...
And they just keep trying to ask for root access for sometime then display a message "Failed" without any reaction from the "KingoUser" App
Anyway ~ i tried another root program called Vroot ( Or iRoot ) and this time root actually worked and installed superuser that ask for root permission for each program ( Allow of deny dialogue ) And titanium backup has root access now
But the app called "KingoUser" Cant be uninstalled even after doing several factory reset ( Without loosing root status )
I currently have it disabled but i want to permanently remove it cuz it's useless
One more think , i disabled the "superuser" app that automatically installed after the root process and installed the newer version from the play store that works perfectly and it updated my su binary it seems
So is it safe for me to completely remove the outdated superuser app the came with iRoot ? ( Cuz it wont update by itself and i cant find and option to update ) ? And how do i remove it ( Same problem with "KingoUser" )

yeh it's safe to remove, go with any root file explorer to system/app and delete it!

You may also try first freezing that app and then uninstalling it

You have to disable dm-verity, look for thread on xda there is already boot image patched with disabled dm verity.

Use system app remover
Disconnect internet
First uninstall update user app
Then uninstall system app

i have the same problem. No way to delete the app but just disable it. I have root and tried app remover, root explorer and app deleter ... same results.
Gave a try also at your method disabling internet but no success.
Is there a way to delete the native app ... i cannot install other apks because there a conflict

No problem
What we did:
Busybox installed : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer
Termux installed : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux
ES File Explorer installed : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
Open ES File Explorer, open Root Explorer on left side menu.
Open Termux, write "su", give root permission.
Write this "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable"
Write this "busybox mount -o remount,rw /system"
Open ES File Explorer, delete this folder "system/app/com.spotify.."
Reboot and done :fingers-crossed:

While the Termux told me it didn't find busybox and that didn't really seem to do much, I still did everything like this and it worked

like i wrote deleting apk would not work, total commander
in the end only luckypatcher could delete them but i also had to reboot, on my old z3c everything was instant .. titanium also cant restore to system .. whatever that means i dont know , i guess its the systemless rooting i cant get selinux permissive either ...
(ohh and shazam doesnt work when chrome is uninstalled , there was an error in logcat concerning androidwebview, on the samung roms at least it uses the chrome engine to render webview, so without chrome the system webview probably is missing some stuff)
