Anyone know of a way to erase them from the phone? It's annoying they baked them into the phone and you can't use greenify or Moboclean on them. They are usually on my top list for the battery graph stats. I am not rooted so I'm sure my chances are slim. Any help would be grateful.

Nope.
You can block them.

Yes, without root, you can only disable them either via that script or manually in Settings > Applications > App name

How Do you remove all those unwanted apps?
Titanium takes forever just to uninstall one app for me.
How do you do it using ADB or Terminal?
Titanium takes about 3 seconds for me if that, don't know how to do it with adb though.
I did this a while back, Maybe useful for you:

Lol I tried that, but it kept saying permission denied or something like that.
2.1 seems a bit buggy at the moment so may just have been that.
I've been freezing the apps I'm thinking of getting rid of to ensure removing them won't cause problems. If I don't run into any issues over a few days, I'll wipe em.
Might be a nice idea to get a list of what apps can and can't be deleted in 2.1 though.
Just delete the apks and factory reset

I deleted some wallpaper application and while I, unfortunately, cannot recall its name it basically disabled the feature to have any wallpaper at all and just resets everything by default to the stock blue one. Could anyone upload the file? That would be greatly appreciated.

i had this problem. but i found the solution to be:
after rooting, uncheck debugging, reload titanium (use builtin app function), enable debugging again.
Contacts.apk
Someone has that one ?
I have an app on my phone that I would like to prevent from being uninstalled in the event of being lost or stolen. How would I do this. I have been searching the web and most people say its not possible but how is that bloatware is seemingly impossible to get rid of? Would it be possible with a rooted phone?

The best way would to put the app in /system/app but you'll have to be rooted for that

Yes I am rooted. How would I make it so the app installs with all the current settings?
For example if I have an app that shows me the current location of my phone via email I would need the email settings to be loaded each time.

After you move it to /system/app and set permissions just log in like normal and all of your settings should still be there... just keep in mind a factory reset or a need rom will delete it. So after each time you flash a new rom you'll need to move the app back to /system/app

Bear in mind that the first thing anyone will do if they steal your phone is wipe all data, so this won't achieve much unfortunately.

You can use a program like Titanium Backup or Root Explorer but your phone needs to be rooted first.

Just root the phone and use Root Uninstaller pro or delete manually the apps you want using an explorer.

without root all you will be able to do is disable most of them. there are some apps that you will not be able to disable, the only way to disable or remove ALL system apps is to root and use an appropriate app as stated above.
Can you root the phone without first unlocking the bootloader and voiding the warranty? I'm thinking no but l'm new to this phone so I don't know.

No you cannot root without unlocking bootloader. Its like a choice, you want to stick to warranty or enjoy power features like removing bloatware!

Whichever apps that exist in your system partition!
The simplest way to check that is to open the app launcher tap and hold on the app, when icon becomes ready to dropped on homescreen
You can check the top of the screen if you see uninstall option, then that app can be uninstalled. If you see only app info then app cant be uninstalled
But if you open the app info you can disable the app. Disabled apps wont show in app launcher!

If I disable any app, it holds the ROM space, and many other apps are not possible to make disable.
I know that I will be able to uninstall any app after rooting. But I don't want to root my phone.
Is there any alternate option?

disabling will pretty much be your only option if you dont want to root. yes it does keep space on the phone. if you want to remove the apps completely to gain that space they only way would be to root

A few minute ago, I have found a way to uninstall those apps. I can uninstall most of them, but not the all.
Process:
Step 1: Select a specific app that you want to uninstall.
Step 2: Search whether the app update is available.
Step 3: If update is available, then update the app.
Step 4: Uninstall the updated app using any type of uninstaller.
I have been able to uninstall one app. But I have forgot to notice some important things.
The app is no more in my phone, but I am not sure about the ROM space.
If anyone have a unrooted moto G, I expect you to do the test, and share the result.

Which app did you unistall?
when you uninstall an APP being unrooted, it is impossible for the app to actually leave /system (ROM).
So may be the icon is deleted from the launcher, the app cannot go away! It will be listed in all apps section!
And if you are unrooted, why does the ROM space matter to you? Its not like you can add something in that space you just recovered?

How can I root my HTC one m8 but still have it be the same as when I bought it. For example, I still want to receive updates and I want everything to work the same but I'll be rooted . Basically I just want to remove the bloatware and install cool roms. I don't want anything else to change. Is this possible?
I like everything about this phone so I dont want to change anything
You can't really root and still accept otas. Verizon is without a doubt after the root methods so an OTA will probably break root. You also won't be accepting OTAs when you're on a custom ROM. You can either just root with weak sauce or s off and unlock with fire water.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
you can most def root (very easy Process) and remove the bloatware and keep everything else stock. while you cant update ota, just keep checking on here, somebody will post an updated bloatfree rom that runs as close to stock as possible. The best of both worlds my friend.

You can do what I did...First I downloaded WeakSauce.apk directly to my phone, then downloaded SuperSU from the play store. Then I downloaded Titanium Backup and used it deleted the bloatware off of my phone..very easy.

If you are rooted but haven't changed the contents of \system in any way (i.e. NOT gotten rid of any apps), AND aren't running a custom recovery, the OTA's should take. The OTA's appear to look at the system directory to see if there are any modifications and fail the OTA flash if there are. So, if you are essentially stock everything except for root access, you should be okay.
That having been said, I didn't see anyone post about a successful OTA update after rooting; and most folks once they're rooted just can't help get a custom recovery (how else can you Nandroid?) or make the slightest tweak(s) to the system.
As someone said above, usually when there's an OTA, the devs have put it out as a flashable mod within 24 hours; and as someone ELSE said above, best NOT to take the OTA's because they are notorious for breaking root.
Yeah, OTA's are a nice touch, and that's how I run my Nexus 7, but on my phone they're a pain in the neck --- I want things my way, and I'm not willing to give that up.

Your current setup does not permit writing to the \system partition. That's fine. (And that's especially good if you really are determined to take OTA updates and keep it pure stock but rooted.) To "get rid" of the bloatware, or any other system app you don't want to see you can do two things: (1) hide the app in the app drawer (that's done from the menu in the app drawer). And (2) Using app manager from settings, navigate to "all" apps, work your way down the list of apps and each one you want to disable: (a) turn off notifications; and then (b) press "disable." I think one or two just can't be disabled, e.g. Visual Voice Mail, but for the most part, you'll be able to make the bloat seem to "disappear" and you won't have affected your system partition, plus, they'll still be gone when you reboot.

AppLock is not at all 100% secure. Yes! you can bypass the no. 1 privacy locking software by just using the simple tricks given below. These tricks will work even if the Advanced Protection is enabled.

If Advanced Protection is enabled you can use Forgot Password or you can delete data files of AppLock Under /data/data to gain access of locked application. You can also use 3rd party applications like titanium backup to clear data, uninstall or freeze the app even when Advanced protection is turned on in the rooted devices.

Yes i know if your settings is locked and there is no way to access your settings, then you can try the forgot password method.. Or for the rooted device you can try using the roit explorer method..
