im sure you "could" uninstall it, but i would be afraid of some crashing in the g+ app because they are linked together.
try freezing it first to see what happens, then if you have a problem it is easy to put back.

No, first opening the terminal, enter only su
Then terminal emulator is granted root access, thEn type the rest of the command.
**your device needs to bee ROOTED in first place**

terminal wrote something with word : killed
then i go to apps
clicked on photos and photos worked....

Okay, install Rom Toolbox Pro, then open the app, grant root access, open app manager in it, locate Google+, click on it, swipe to left and select advance freeze, and freeze the activities with the Google+ photos icon in it. Done!!

Just run the following commands to uninstall the old system apps if you use a custom rom.
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
adb uninstall com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
adb shell rm /system/app/VoiceSearch.apk
adb uninstall com.google.android.voicesearch
Then they will install just fine from Market (from the US Market). MarketAccess set to TMO US will allow you to find them.
Both apps are unsuccessful installs from the market on FRF91Deodexed, uninstalled with titanium. Awesome apps.
or do what I did. uninstall with titanium, reboot and install from market. running cm nightly
It's telling Mr the file isn't signed correctly. In the US.
I'm guessing that even with the required apks I will not be able to use this on my 2.1 Moment? Time to return to the Vogue then!

[Tut] (Root) Update to Latest Superuser

Once you have achieved root (see other thread), to update the Superuser.apk to the latest version, run these commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
pm uninstall com.noshufou.android.su
Then search on the market for Superuser and download the one by ChainsDD. Confirmed working on latest Droid2 2.2 ota.
EDIT: To be safe, go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications and find Superuser. Then clear the data. This should prevent any of the Superuser issues discussed.
sorry..new to the whole android scene. are there any advantages to updating the superuser app the the latest version and can this command be input on the droid itself through the terminal app?

i like the interface much more and its got a new autoaccept after 10 seconds if you arent paying attention when the popup shows. it's up to you. i'm sure future root tools will just include it.
alright thanks. is it as simple as installing the new version and uninstalling the old? or does one need to enter the command prompts listed above?

that is what the commands do. unfortuantely, the old version is on the system partiton. this means that we must first mount the system and read/write and then manually delete the old version ourself. then the new version can be easily downloaded through the market. anyways, adb shell means it's done via your computer so its very easy to copy and paste like 3 commands.
Instructions work perfectly... thanks!

These instructions are not specific to the OS on your computer, they work with anything.
Perfect!
Worked great! Thank you!
Instructions worked fine (I just made them up for Linux), but the newest SuperUser is giving me weird results. Every program that requests root access will ask me numerous times, like it never remembers that I gave the app access. Like removing one app with titanium will it will ask me 4 seperate times to accept or deny permission. Other apps do this also. Anyone have a copy of the old apk I could reinstall? Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks

I had the same thing happen to me. Launch the new superuser app and go to settings. Unselect and reselect Notifications. Apparently it shows it being checked, but you have to recheck it for the actual setting to get saved.
After I did this, it only asks once for a program, and then I never see it again.

Nice, thanks!
I had that issue too. I ironically un-installed superuser and re-installed it and it worked fine too
I used Root Explorer to delete the old Superuser.apk from /system/app. Then I rebooted and installed the new version from the market. Worked great.

that works too though without having the superuser apk and rebooting, that could be a little dangerous for others hence my adb tutorial. no need for a restart either. could easily just use root explorer, delete the old, download new from market.
Worked great
I just renamed Superuser.apk to .bak then tried to install. Don't forget the last step. I had to adb (I was using terminal emulator) to do the last step then installed fine and removed Superuser.bak.
Thanks I like the New look.
yeah i can't get superuser from the market to install, keeps telling me unsuccessful

I had the same problem. I rebooted my phone and then it installed fine. Not sure if it's risky to reboot once you remove the apk or not. However, it didn't cause any problems for me.

I basically did the same thing except I renamed instead of deleting it. Well, once I installed SU from the market, I can't find the .apk file even though it's running and launching correctly. I assumed it would be called superuser.apk in the system/app folder but only my old renamed superuser.bak is there. I'm just worried if there is an update in the future, I won't be able to rename since I can't find the .apk file. Anyone know where the .apk file is for this new version of superuser?

Tried this, and it didn't work for me. With Titanium Backup in particular, it will literally ask upwards of twenty times for permission. It's insanely annoying. Any other tips?

hi everybody !
my n9005 is rooted by de la vega v5
but when i try to remove some boltware via system app remover a security pop-op appear and say you can't do it !!!!
what is that ?!
i also tried to remove by link-2-sd , but failed again !

Did you try using titanium backup?
Assuming you have ADB set up, open up the Terminal if you're in Linux or the Command Line if you're in Windows and type the following:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cd /system/app
ls
rm *name of app*

thank u
i installed terminal on my phone and your command is work!
but u know , by link2sd or "system app remover " you can find out the app by its icon .
so why i can't remove app by application !
- titanium backup , every time i try to trmove an application by titanium backup , it getting freeze! and force close ( after a while )
- link2sd : when i try to remove an app it says can't mount ...
- system app remover : when i try to remove , a security notification appear ...
so how can i remove an app easily by this applications ?

Maybe you have to try another root method??
Mine is working without any issue
Seems like those apps you want to use do not have SU permission. Did you install SU and Busybox?
It could sound silly but did you check with root checker that you really have root access?
If yes, another reason that I could think of is you might not grant the SU access when you opening up the TB
the point the makes me wondering is that " root checker" says that you have root permission !!!!!!!!!!!!
just one app worked for me !! " root app delete " 6.9.24 !
but this one not working complietely too . when i try to remove a system app it can't install that , but after that , an option appera and ask me : do you want to force uninstall , i said: yes . then uninstalled !
but i don't know why i can't remove the system app like others !
is that related to any security update ?
why my post putting double !!!!!
i moved system apps by root explorer
As I've said, try rooting your phone by another method. Mine without any problem.

You did not respond or confirm to dabgoo that you have super user and Busybox installed.
Did you install Super user PRO, you need to activate it?
I did not active it a first.
You can get a false positive from root checker. It will say you have root when super user is not installed properly. This happened to me.
Check in the Super user app if Super user is actually granting access to other apps.

Could be a long shot, look under settings /general /security /device administrators and uncheck knox if its checked.
I ran into this prob when trying to remove knox. it could apply to other apps maybe. Dunno, worth a try though.

Baked-in spotify must go...

Hi guys.
I just got the Nougat update, on Bell Canada. Everything is great except it rolled out a built-in Spotify. This eradicated my existing old-version Spotify app. Worse, I can't remove it, only disable. Old versions won't install over it either.
I don't have root and probably won't for a while.
Any way to remove the offending app? Workaround?
Thanks!

No way, without ROOT.
Try with adb.
With this commads :
adb shell
cd system/app
ls
ls will list all apps in system partrition and delete app you want by typing: rm nameofapp.apk

You have to give root privileges for adb, so no hope..

Nope, it was made and cloned in lucky patcher, the most safest way possible, unless you do the app on your own. Just install it, log in and listen to music, and also you can disable the other app.
The next thing I'm willing to try is to set time of this app to stay at one point, this way, those 7 days of free trial can last for eternity, but don't think I'll make it any time soon.

Hi, thanks for your apk file that actually works on the z5 on nougat by being installed next to the original application that can be disabled. Can you tell us how you created this clone without having a package conflict? I imagine you took the version available on AlphaGamers but how to do after? Thank you in advance !

Hello guys, with the cloned version of the app (assuming the one included in nougat is disabled) is the link from soundhound (when you detect a song and have an option to open it in spotify) working properly or instead is taking you to Spotify's website (meaning it's not detecting the cloned version) ?
Just clone your old version Spotify APK with App Cloner then install it. The apk signature of the clone will be changed so you are able to install it

Thanks this worked perfectly. Disabled factory installed spotify and cloned the modded version and installed. Worked great.
I feel like I'm coming too late but here goes:-
Step 1 :
Code:
adb device
Step 2:
Code:
adb shell
Step 3: pm list packages | grep <OEM/Carrier/App Name> command (without quotes) to find package names
e.g
Code:
pm list packages | grep [COLOR="Red"]google[/COLOR]
Step 4: Once you find the desired bloat app to remove type:- pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of package>
e.g
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 [COLOR="Red"]com.quora.android[/COLOR]
If it helped don't forget to smash that like button and subscribe for more vi... Wait, wrong outro!
^i assume you need root access to do that?

app cloner will create a new apk? i need to side load it via adb to set the install vendor for android auto. does the change of the apk signature via app cloner affect android auto recognising the cloned app as well?

First uninstall update user app
Then uninstall system app
