App Eater (Uninstaller) lets you remove unwanted apps right from your home screen, in addition to being a fully functional standalone uninstaller.
Using the widgets, you can uninstall the following without even entering the app:
Last installed app
Last updated app
Most recently used app
Each widget shows the icon of the app you will be uninstalling as well, to make it even more intuitive. Take a look at the screenshots to see what I mean.
Additionally, App Eater is an extremely capable standalone uninstaller, with features including:
Easy access to last installed, last updated, and most recently used apps
List mode to show all apps (including non-application packages like widgets)
Batch uninstall
Silent batch uninstall (rooted devices only- this is an Android limitation)
Uninstall history
Option to show system apps
System app uninstall (rooted devices only- this is an Android limitation)
Disable apps (rooted devices only- this is an Android limitation)
Clear app data and cache (rooted devices only- this is an Android limitation)
Ability to lock apps to prevent their removal from within App Eater or the widgets
Sort by name, install date, update date, size, system/user installed, recently used, disabled/enabled status, and locked status
Reverse sort order
Search all apps for a specific string
Long press to open app, open app info, open Play Store listing, or share app
System storage info displayed
Show app version option
"Apps Eaten" counter to track number of uninstalls with app
More features coming soon!
I want App Eater to replace whatever uninstaller you are using now. Its widget functionality doesn't exist in any other app, and I intend for the standalone uninstaller to be the absolute best in the Play Store. More features are coming soon, but please let me know if you want anything in particular. Thanks, and enjoy!
Screenshots:

I've uploaded the APK for those who prefer to install manually. Thanks, and enjoy!

I have added a first-time start-up tutorial for those who didn't quite understand certain features like app locking. Enjoy!

Does this app can uninstall the app/s completely include cache, data & so on?

Thank you. Will try it out.

Features l like to see!!
Look great app features l like to see!!:good:
- Apps freezer
- Uninstall system applications
- Backup date/system apps+data apk to sdcard
- Restore backed up applications
- Sync to/from Dropbox

An article I read said this can remove bloat ware system apps, insinuating without root. Is this right ? Thought that would be impossible

This I also want to know. Does it clean cache and data? Havent seen any uninstallers that claim to do this yet.

Really good looking, it would be great with a more HOLO themed icon, just as simple as it can be

Lol, only app freeze made sense out of all that...this thing eat apps...dont think its out to puke them right back out to be lock away in a fridge for later use
Keep your app simple dev...If i want all kind of fancy things I will go to titanium...stay unique, dont' try to be something else ....wont work out cause titanium already does those things best lol

awesome app :victory:
please include cache eater also with a widget
and if u inclde also locking system in cache, that would be damn amazing. :good:
I would buy it if u put donate version then

The way it works (as do most uninstallers) is that the app tells the system it wants to uninstall an app. Then the system then takes over (displays the "OK/Cancel" dialog and actually uninstalls it.
If I have an app that has data or cache, and I uninstall it and reinstall it, then all the data and cache seems to be gone. I have only tested this on a handful of apps, so there might be some that are not cleared. If you have any examples, I will be glad to take a look.
I am planning on adding rooted uninstall features (which removes the app manually), and I will look into having this as an option. Thanks for your interest!

I will look into freezing apps. I've never used it, but it seems like a good feature to have.
You can only uninstall system apps if you are rooted. I am currently working on this functionality.
I'm not sure that I want to add backup/cloud functionality, as it seems somewhat tangential to uninstalling apps. There are some power-user apps that can already do that, as others have mentioned. If demand is high, I'll look into it.
I am also planning on adding a feature that will keep a list of your uninstalled apps, and direct you back to the Play Store to reinstall them if you change your mind.
Thanks for the feedback!

I have an app that need special attention, it is picarts photo studio. I have uninstalled it (with built-in uninstaller), but it still leave garbage file in /sdcard.
I want uninstaller app like revo uninstaller on windows pc that can search garbage/leftover files and destroy them. I think no android apps like that for now. CMIIW

I tried it out and I see what you mean now. Unfortunately, this is just bad design on the part of the makers of PicsArt. There is a way for apps to use a private file directory that will be deleted automatically when the app is uninstalled, but instead PicsArt opted to use the general sdcard storage, which is not tied to any app. For example, if an app writes to a folder called "Pictures," it's probably not a good idea to delete it when the app is uninstalled, since other apps might use the same folder. Trying to solve this problem would likely open up a whole mess of potential issues that I think the general user shouldn't have to deal with, so I don't think App Eater is the right place for it.
I found an app called SD Maid which can find folders that aren't needed anymore, but it was not able to automatically detect this one in particular. Maybe you'll find it useful, though.
The internal "data" and "cache" for the app does get cleared using App Eater, though. You can see this by checking Settings>Apps>PicsArt after reinstalling and before opening the app.

Oh ok, so its from the developers, and picarts has designed to doesnt delete internal data even it has been uninstalled.
I have used it, but sometime detects false positive. Probably still use old database.
Ok, keep update this app.

OK, I understand now. Reading your post again, I wonder if you meant the actual app icon, and not the widget design. I will look into allowing for alternative app icons (I don't know if this is technically possible from within the app), but I am hesitant to change the icon design outright, since as the app grows in popularity it's important to maintain familiarity.
I will definitely look into alternative widget designs, though, if that's what you meant.
Thanks!

This is strange. The app doesn't touch any settings pertaining to the actual market app. It's completely self contained and accesses data only on the Hawkee severs.

confused on how to use this app?
I need some help understanding what this is, what it does, and how to use it.
Is it a second marketplace that is intended to replace the google marketplace?
If yes then I take it to mean that this app's intended use to to search, download, install, and maintain the apps on your phone?
Is this app intended to be used in conjunction with the google marketplace?
If yes then in what ways: searching, sorting, etc?
Is information shared between this app and the google marketplace? For exmaple if you can download apps from this app then do the downloaded apps also show up as being downloaded in the google marketplace?
The above are some of the questions I was thinking but if when replying you can think of other useful advice and info you want to share in how to use the app that would be appreciated.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes this can replace the market in terms of finding new apps. The point of this is to find good, new apps and closely monitor the market. It provides more advanced filters to find specifically what you want. It doesn't scan your apps and offer suggestions. That isn't the goal of this app.

Sorry, I missed the update to your post. The app actually sends you to the market when you choose an app, so yes the downloads count. This app only replaces the searching and browsing process. No data is shared between the two apps.

I just fixed a bug with the price drops not being detected properly. This was a server side fix so no need to update the app.

I was wondering if I could get some feedback on the name of this app. It's a different concept so I had a hard time coming up with a descriptive name. Some other ideas I had were Hawkee App Subscribe, Hawkee Market Subscribe, Hawkee App Monitor, or Hawkee Market Monitor.

Once i installed this app i cannot access the "downloads" section in my regular market. it either says theres no connection, or it force closes. Ive tried uninstalling Hawkee, wiping market data, uninstalling/reinstalling regular market, rebooting.....nothing is fixing this problem, which is obviously a major one

This seems to be unrelated. Did you recently upgrade your market app? This app doesn't have any connection with the market app. It only sends you there when you pick an app.
Sent from my Incredible
Nope my last market update was last week. i was browsing my downloads earlier today to check for application updates which i normally do.
i understand that you want to preserve the reputation of your app, and i can respect that. however it seems like a distinct possibility that this app caused this problem. earlier in this thread another poster claimed that this app had an effect on his market, as well.
this is not a personal attack, and there obviously is a chance that both of these incidences are coincidence. but it doesnt sound like it. you may want to look into it, since this app is now public on the forum, youd definitely rather have 2 complaints than several. just a little advice, it doesnt hurt to check, rather than simply sweeping it under the rug.
all i know and can say, aside from i love the idea of your app, ever since installing my market has been malfunctioning, even after a system install/uninstall.
TopShelf, Thanks for the response. I'm sorry to sound like I was so easily dismissing your problem, but I'm on my laptop now and can look into this more thoroughly. I researched the issue you described and came up with this thread:
http://www.google.fm/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=5f475fcdfcc22233&hl=en
The conclusion seems to be that it's a problem on Google's end. People were pointing out a few apps that, when uninstalled, fixed the problem temporarily. But it seems there is no permanent fix yet. Some people suggested installing AppBrain in order to update your apps, but that's certainly not a long term solution.

[APP] Silent App Uninstaller for ROOT Users V1.0 just released on the market

This is an ultimate tool on App management designed for ROOT users. The main function that this app delivers is to uninstall your apps and backup them.
We know that there're tons of other apps on the market could do those jobs fine, so we don't want to make another similar app, we want to make it unique and really makes your mobile life easier.
As the name of this app says, we can uninstall apps silently. Here term "silently" means to uninstall apps without clicking "confirm" again and again! All you need to do is just choose which apps you don't need on your phone and simply click "Uninstall", then leaves the job to us.
This app is designed only works on rooted phones, so you have to root your phones first. If you don't root your phone you cannot use this app.
Also please check out our more apps, including the best and leading file manager app File Expert, which is used by millions of people in the world.
Silent app installation feature is coming soon!

Thanks for the info. I'll test the app.
Thanks for the app! Works great on EVO 4G.
Seemed to work great on my EVO. All I ask is a way to see the size of installed apps and to be able to sort apps by things like size, date, name, etc...
Does it also remove system applications?

After install, I went to see if it does indeed uninstall system apps as advertised. It listed no system apps, in fact it didn't even list all 3rd party apps.. I closed the app and went to uninstall but not only is this uninstaller app not listed to uninstall through app manager in another 3rd party uninstaller, it has no drawer launcher icon to reopen the app. Now I have to terminal in to get rid of it. Aside that, the app itself is a very basic uninstaller app that is far better provided in already established apps. Just my experience though.
Post Edit: After rebooting, the app appeared in the app drawer and I was able to uninstall it. Can't uninstall system or bloatware apps? What gives?
Install Manager Pro is a far more comprehensive app management software.

+1 all of these things would be a good addition
Does it remove the Application Data and then the Application? I want to make sure the apps' data is not left behind and also removed!
Usually my procedure is to STOP the app if its runneing, then deleting data, then deleting the app. I always want to make sure, nothing is left behind. Some uninstallers just remove the main app but leave data files behind... just trash!

List of useful "root apps"??

Hi all, I'm looking to root my note 10.1 and perhaps install a new rom . However, I can't seem to find a list of apps that are for root only.
I am aware of a couple of essentials like the add one and triangle away one but what do you boys and girls consider to be the essential apps or fun apps to have for your rooted device?
I have tried searching for root apps in Google and I just get how to root in return so that hasn't been any help at all. So I thought I would ask you all.
So what are the essential root apps that work with the note 10.1?
Many thanks in advance?

I understand (importance differs now).
I guess I would love to know which root apps people are using as im a bit of a noob to the root thing. I have done it in the past (long time ago) on sgs1 but only to flash a new rom. On this occasion i only want to root and keep stock for now. knowing what apps were being used by 'experts' (anyone rooted -lol) would help me install the right things. IM beginning to get a picture now of what could be possible. I couldn't find any 'list' so your input and the input of others has helped me gather a list of about 6 root apps to install. So any other info would be gratefully accepted
here are all mine...

Must Have Root App
To me, Multiwindow Manager Pro is a MUST. It make all apps multi window enabled (or just the ones you choose).
I second the Multi Window Manager and Titanium. I also use the XPosed Framework with the XPosed App Settings module allowing display customization of individual apps including DPI and removal of title bar - very handy particularly when reducing how much screen space an app takes up in multi window.

I don't have a Note 10.1 (my uncle does) but for me it all depends on what you want them to do on your particular device, and your needs. For instance, my galaxy player didn't manage memory well so I needed an app to do that.
Also if you want to see most of the root apps in the play store, just type in "root". You still have to do a bit of digging to see which ones suit you but at least it gives you a better start. Anyways my list is as follows:
SuperSU/Super User- This is a mandatory install because you need to give root apps super user permission to work with your system. It doesn't matter which one you pick, because they both work really well.
SuperSU- https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImV1LmNoYWluZmlyZS5zdXBlcnN1Il0.
SuperUser - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ub3NodWZvdS5hbmRyb2lkLnN1Il0.
/system/app mover - It can set/remove apps as a system app, meaning you can remove all the bloatware off a device or set apps of your choosing that can't be uninstalled from the launcher. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.systemappmover&hl=en
AdFree- Gets rid of Ads (no longer in the playstore)
Auto Memory Manager- As the name states it automatically frees up your ram in order to keep your device running smoothly. You can set thresholds, tell which apps to ignore, and etc to customize when you want it to start managing your ram. You don't have to have root, but it works much better with it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDEsImNvbS5saW0uYW5kcm9pZC5hdXRvbWVtbWFuIl0.
Clean Master- This app is almost a jack of all trades. Not only does it also manager your ram. It cleans out junk files that are unneeded, deletes private data (i.e web browers data), and can move to SD, Uninstaller, or Backup your apps. It is very easy to use. I think of it as the CCleaner for Android.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5jbGVhbm1hc3Rlci5tZ3VhcmQiXQ.
CPU Master Free- This is a cpu controller that can set your max, min, scaling, have profiles (if using pro), can control your i/o scheduler, and voltage. This pretty much means your can increase the performance of a device, or increase battery life. It's really nice for a free app. However, almost any cpu controller app does just fine. I heard SetCPU and Tegrak were the best.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hbnR1dHUuQ3B1TWFzdGVyRnJlZSJd
DSPManager 1.0 (not in the playstore anymore either) - This app really helps out with the quality of music, and you can set profiles for headset, BT, and speaker
Root Uninstaller- This is one of the best and most essential root apps imo. This backs up apps as an actual apk file automatically. It also treats updates for apps as a separate file too. On top of that it can restore apps, reset apps to their original state, freeze apps, and etc.

Titanium BackUp Free- If something doesn't work in root uninstaller I use this. It does everything that root uninstall does, and a bit more. The only thing is it doesn't back up apps as apk files. I still consider it to be a 5 star root app. Just make sure you have Busy Box installed.

Have fun searching and looking for the apps that best suit you.
that list was from my phone on the tablet you don't need gtalk enabler unless you have a tablet with phone service and your carrier like at&t here doesn't allow video calls in Google talk aka hangouts over cell service... it gets around that...

Well... I started by rooting my s3. Haven't rooted the note just yet. Wanted to play around with some of the things there first. It was rally easy to do. So far downloaded:
Tasker - amazing app!
Add away - woks on most things but couldn't handle chomp sms
LMT - nice launcher!
CPU - works well but not sure if i have the setting correct on that
secure settings - this works well with tasker
Helper - works with tasker.
Mobile Odin - just in case
Greenify - excellent battery saver - that's for sure!
still to play with titanium back up. and a few others... any other tips... gratefully accepted Still trying to get used to a number of things listed above and figure out how to make them work for me but at least im gaining experience.
So... now I need to root my note 10.1 and see what works on that.
I have a slightly different question, although I think it fits in this thread.
I've rooted my N8010. Installed SuperSU, BusyBox, DropBear Server II.
Where can I find typical command line tools like scp, sftp and rsync? Many apps mention these tools, but none of them seem to install these tools in /system/[x]bin for global access.

More about Freeze feature of UU Uninstaller:
UU allows you to “Freeze” apps which restricts the ability for that app to open. This can be used multiple ways
•Stop it from running
•Stop other people from snooping in those apps
•Stops you (maybe your little sibling or 1 year old kid has your phone) from accidentally clicking the app
and more.

You have done great with this app and are doing great already by me - the link is clickable to app's Googlyville ... seems ok to me. Besides he who wants can also DL the apk via evozi.
Fantastic uninstaller app. I have tried many but this is the best - simple, straight to business; a recycle bin, like Dumpster for apps? Genius! And free? That's generous!
No trying here, this is a keeper, it's staying put. Thank you! Great job.

For apps that get installed on SDcard their data folders are normally created on device unless one has implemented a move them to SDcard. So maybe moving the app back to device from SDcard, then uninstalling should achieve the same results?
To make this app even more awesome can you consider these features:-
-an apk manager that will 1-backup apks, & an option to choose a back up location, & 2-directly share apk file via BT, etc.
-a move to SD card-that will either accommodate moving data and/or a choice to include data being moved.
-Move to phone of course
Looking forward to the update.
Looks userfriendly and works good
The new update - startup control - is great!

Hey, thanks for your good tips.
As I know, the location of data folder depends on the download manager you are using or how you set up the storage path.
A single app like App Memory SD Card Transfer may be needed to implement what you said above.
A lot of improvements are scheduled. We’ll include the Transfer function in the future.
FYI, We’ll have a big update for Version1.4!

[GUIDE] VIVO NEX S/A Apps Safe To Uninstall/Disable Without Root

The subject of app/bloatware removal/disabling has been mentioned in a few threads throughout the NEX forum,but,not much to mention as far as advancing the discussion,so,I thought I'd start a thread to centralize the topic.
As w/any mods go,this is one that's fairly harmless,worse case scenario,a factory reset will get you back on track,but,ultimately everyone is responsible for their own phone & what happens to it.
With that out of the way..............
1) Any app that can be easily uninstalled by the "uninstall" button is 100% safe,no harm whatsoever. If you want,d/l an apk extractor tool app to make a copy & store wherever,should you change your mind.
2) Now,most are interested in getting rid of as many of the VIVO system apps as possible w/o crippling wanted functionality. This will be an evolving list,& gradually adding to it,with input from anyone interested,I'll update the list right here.
3) OK,the How-To is right here: https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
4) Now here's what I have so far (see below,I'll edit/add as needed)
Any input regarding adding to the list is encouraged,please only suggest bloatware that you have actually uninstalled yourself & please include any effects on functionality that may have resulted,especially if it affected other apps & their functionality. (question marks below [??/etc...] are in place of Chinese letters/characters)
5) Once again,tried & tested input is highly encouraged & welcome. The list will grow & evolve/be edited on a continuous basis until we all get it figured out. :good:
******** A factory reset will restore all uninstalled apps
******** OTA's shouldn't be affected or affect the status of apps,whether they're installed or uninstalled (unless,of course,you've deleted something pertaining to updates,which won't be listed below)

Really great job and nice effort that all of Vivo Nex user should participate and share the knowledge and experience of uninstalling Chinese bloatware and optimize and maximize total experience when using their smartphone.
One thing is sure will never get bored as Funtouch OS has unlimited potential of uninstalling bloatware all over the UI

Updated OP with Dates of Removal, to facilitate troubleshooting in the event something of consequence gets broken.
I'm using the latest Windows 10 build where command prompt is replaced with Powershell. Have tried various options on the internet to revert back to command prompt (including going to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar and disable the option to use Powershell), but still stuck with Powershell. Any other workarounds ?

Thanks for the reply. I made sure that I only uninstalled items that were indicated safe in your post and some from the post by WhySoSeriousJoKer. I certainly have not uninstalled 'com.vivo.upslide' which was flagged as disabling navigation gestures.
All the other gestures work fine, it's only the swipe up from the middle to bring up the open apps !

Yeah, I wouldn't have uninstalled that one either.
For troubleshooting purposes, can you try out using the navigation buttons, see if you can access recents/multitasking?
Also, which software version were/are you on when you lost the multitasking function?
It probably doesn't matter, but, any information for troubleshooting purposes is always a good thing...

You show com.vivo.browser as one of the apps that can be removed. When I send Location Sharing from Google Maps to a contact via messenger, the link opens up using the vivo Browser app. Can this be defaulted to another app before that browser is removed?

Here's the choices of sharing that pop-up,with the apps removed (on 7/7/18) :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I tap "Select People",my Google contacts appear & I get a link to direct share & it selects my default texting app (Textra,FWIW).
EDIT: @Saloei
As for if the default can be selected before the VIVO Browser is removed,I don't know,TBH,this is the 1st time I've ever used Location Sharing,LOL.
Can you send yourself a Location Sharing link selecting MESSENGER and then add your phone number as the receiver to see if it'll work with no VIVO BROWSER app installed?

If you're speaking about Facebook Messenger, I don't use Facebook, but I was able to share the link with Textra, my default messaging app. I shared it to myself on the same phone, using both SIM Cards & using the same SIM Card as sender & receiver.
Also sent my location to another phone I have via Textra with no problem whatsoever.
Perhaps someone here who has already deleted the VIVO Browser & uses Facebook can verify it'll work.
My guess is that it will, but, I can understand if you're hesitant, most don't want to have to start over via factory reset if, in the unlikelyhood, it doesn't work.....
