Hi guys,
Quick question... I got this phone three days ago... I rooted it mostly to delete some of the bloatware... The thing is, I tried to delete the apps on the system folders, but it won't allow it... It returns an error message saying it is not possible to delete the files...
Anyone knows why this is happening and if there's a workaround?
Thanks!!!

First check you have full root or not.

why uninstall system applications,it is not recommended either one developers that is risky.
try this application work good.Make sure the app you are going to uninstall is not a system app.
Code:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=zsj.android.systemappremover&hl=en
install and Open Root app delete on your android phone and,Tap on System apps and tap on Pro when prompted to choose from Junior or Pro mode.
Scroll through the list of system apps and tap on any of the apps which you want to be removed from your phone.
Next tap on Uninstall to remove the unwanted app and again tap on OK to confirm your selection.
In case the app cannot be remove properly, you will see the following error. Tap on OK and then tap on #1 to force uninstall the app.
Now the unwanted app / bloatware will be removed from your android phone.

What version are you running? How did you get root?
Hi guys...
First of all, the "What???" wasn't meant for this post, for some strange reason when I replied on another forum post it did here... I'm really sorry about that...
Anyway... The phone was bugging and the root wasn't working right, that's why I wasn't able to delete the apps... I wasn't trying to delete system apps, but things like Google+ which I don't use at all...
Anyway, I'm on a D2306 from Brazil... I flashed the 4.4.2 global to get rid of the carrier apps, but I probably did something wrong while flashing and rooting it, so it was't working... I reflashed it yesterday and did the root again and it worked flawlessly...
I deleted the integrated apps I don't use and the phone is perfect now...
Thanks for all the help...
That's first thing I also do after rooting. There is so much delivered with the phone, and not few of it completely useless to me.
I think the advice not deleting system apps, hmmm .... what is a system app? Sony Home? SystemUI ? Or Google+, Gmail, Maps, Sony Select, ... all in system and unremovable without root. I understand that we need to be protected from doing harm to the phone we bought. But still I think the phone should come with a kind of admin function or semi-root to remove what is not needed. As it is it has more the smell of forcing people to using certain things.
For other apps I have different needs than what is supplied. I am lucky I can change things. As examples, for email I can use a normal email program such as K9, for sms I can use an sms messenger that actually does give repeat notifications, such as Evolve, QuicPic to me is the superior Album at 1/10 of the size, for navigation and maps I use Mapfactor bcs it has real offline navigation, and so on and on.

So I installed a CM9 ROM and it has Titanium backup pre-installed as a system app, how do I TOTALLY remove it? I tried deleting it from /system/app. Where are the rest of it's files?
question...why are you trying to delete it?
And after deleting it from system/apps what other files are you taking about?

I just want to uninstall it. No specific reason.
What files? That's exactly what I'm asking

interesting. titanium is pretty much the only app with enough power to uninstall completely most other apps. its like what would you use to clean the inside of a bottle of bleach? different bleach? lol
also not sure what you mean by 'rest of its files'? delete it from system/app/ and then reboot.
Have you tried Links2SD, it also has super powers similar to Titanium Backup, and will allow you change it from a system app to an user app, and then to uninstall it.

I have removed Google+ and Books with no problems.. most likely deletion of something in the 'other unnecessary stuff' is the problem.

The OP asked about doing this on Fallout - which comes pre-rooted.
One or more of the apps you're removing must be necessary after all, I think. But then, I don't know exactly which system apps you're removing.

It won't help you. If you're going to freeze exactly the same programs as you tried to delete - you'll get the same results, something won't work. The reason, as stated, is that you just don't know that something is useful and remove it.
Yeah to delete Google+ or Twitter. I can only delete the updates.
So yeah the title says it all. It reached 341MB. This isn't normal anyone know how to resolve this ? Last time was 100mb but now its 341mb ? But its not always so high im just asking for some tips sometimes its just 34 mb normal. Im just curious why it reached 341mb. Thanks in advance

Hello!
I think with root You will able to clean the bloatware from You device! Type in google search: ,.ME173X root" There must be tutorials how to root Your device! Or sometimes it's recommended to clean the memory if You have a task manager on You device! If there isn't. In settings You can find the running processes and You will be able to ,,kill" the processes what uses a lot of RAM.
I hope I could help You!

A tip: I always used Titanium Backup pro/free to remove the factory bloatware and that was always successful! But be careful do not remove the system apps because Your device easily can be unstable! For example: It won't boot as You said.
And the most important thing! Always create a backup before remove apps, if You don't You won't be able to restore the removed app.
~ Greetings ~

Thanks for the tip. Yeah i really wanna root but im kinda worried it may happen again . Dont know if it was because of the deleting system apps. My brother said he deleted the default launcher. When i was using the tablet it always said "Unfortunately the Launcher has stopped." So Im not sure if its becuase of this or it was becuase i rooted it.

Willingly! If You root Your device there is a small chance to brick it, but if You know how to restore the original stock ROM there's no need to panic! That was a big mistake to delete the home laucnher. I don't blame You. Your Brother did it. As You said ,,Unfortunately the Launcher has stopped" error message appeared because You device wanted to start the launcher again ,but the launcher has been removed from Your device. If You doing the removing carefully Youre device must working perfectly!

Hello Everyone,
I have rooted my phone and am using GPS joystick Fake GPS location app from the play store. I am using a private mode within this app which helps me to create a copy of the app with a different name so that POGO does not detect it.
Everything works fine till here. I am using Lucky patcher to change the installed cloned app as a system app and it asks for a restart, after restart the cloned app goes missing.
I have no idea what is gng wrong and would need some light and help on this.

You can't use Titainium backup that does it but other then that I don't know. I don't mess with things like that.
Also just be careful. They are banning people caught cheating. To the point of banning the device itself.

Use titanium backup. Saw the auto correct was a mistake. That is really the only way but even then it has been detected by the game.

It does but it requires root. You could try just moving it with a file explorer but no promises it will work. Normally system apps only work when flashed. Also they tend to code things to look in the data partition. So moving it to system can cause issues.
You can try a few but no promises.

That's most likely due to the signature. All apps in system need to have the same signature. Without it the apk won't run at all.
I can't help any more then that. People here don't use multiple versions of the same app.
