unistall system app

how do i unsitall preloaded system app

root the phone. install titanium backup and you can uninstall system apps. MAKE SURE YOU DO RESEARCH PRIOR TO UNINSTALLING ANY SYSTEM APPS.

Is there a list of safe system apps to remove for this Galaxy S 4G?

There is, but you have to search for it. I'm on my phone and the search function sucks.

u must root the phone to gain access to root files and delete bloatware apps or pre installed apps but b4 u delete them be sure to back them up with a something like titanium backup so if u need warantee work u can re-install them

You can also use FBis251 [CWM] SGS4G KJ6 Debloater, instead of uninstalling one app at a time. You could uninstall all the ones you want removed in one shoot.Works Great. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385187

This only work if your running a KJ6 rom , not Froyo.

[Q] Restoring After Flashing

I just flashed my first custom ROM...went from rooted GB to CM7.2.0...no problems...flashed the ROM, Gapps package, & padded modem (although I have no idea what a padded modem is). When I started to restore apps + data using Titanium Backup, the restore process locked up on Bluetooth Perm Test. Since I am inexperienced, I flashed back to GB. TB did a perfect restore, including putting my icons back where I had them. Anyone have any ideas why the restore locked up?
Thanks for any help...

Just back up user apps. Restoring system data between roms is a good way to bring in gremlins

OK...I see where "backup all user apps" is an option....but all the restore options include restoring data. I guess I could restore the user apps one at a time although that might be fairly time consuming. Any other thoughts?
Thanks for the reply.

I think under batch actions when you choose to restore all backed up stuff it gives you the option to restore app+data, just app or just data. I think that as long as you're staying in gingerbread the user app data shouldn't cause any problems.

If you've already gone back to stock wipe out all the backups and only backup user apps that way when you get back to cm7 the system stuff won't show up and mix things up

When restoring apps, only select the ones you want... those checks on the left aren't just decorations.

Titanium pro (donate) has the option to restore a batch of however you desire... well worth the money

I do have the paid version...the 5 batch restore options are:
1. Restore missing apps with data
2. Restore all apps with data
3. Restore all system data
4. Restore missing apps + all system data (I know I'm not supposed to use this one)
5. Restore newer versions of user apps
There is also the option of creating an "update.zip" from app+data backups...I'm assuming that to restore, you would flash this like a ROM.
When I tried to restore the first time...and it locked up during "Bluetooth Perm Test"...I was using the #2 option..restore all apps with data.

There's also the filter options.
I've never had any luck restoring data across platforms, so, I just stopped...

Should have done option 1, which lets you pick which apps you want to restore.

Stock Lollipop Root Titanium Backup

I'm very, very happy we now have root for the stock Lollipop ROM but Titainium Backup doesn't seem to work correctly. I'm able to do some restores but it will not perform backups or uninstall apps. Root Uninstaller Pro seems to work but it's not a feature rich as TB. Anyone know of a fix?

I'm running into the same issue. Mine's currently rebooting from wiping the cache and dalvik to see if that makes any difference.

There is no dalvik on lollipop...

Haha old habits die hard.

Interesting, what are all the files in the data/delvik-cach/profiles folder? I deleted them all and they did rebuild.

Titanium has worked fine with backups and restores for me, but I have also had some trouble with uninstalling system apps.
It seems titanium doesn't work well with apps under /system/priv-app or /system/vendor/app. I was able to uninstall apps in those folder manually without problems.
This thread is not quite updated for lollipop yet but still helpful for manually uninstalling system apps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/general/guide-how-to-remove-bloatware-att-lg-g3-t2822501

I guess technically its not a dalivik cache because it is using ART now, but there is definitely still a cache in the /data/dalvik-cache folder. Maybe someday they will rename it to art-cache...

This worked for me

I struggled to figure this out - I have stock Lollipop rooted, and TB just will not do backups on the external SD - it complained of insufficient free storage.
There is no discussion of this on the TB Wiki, but I did find there is a permissions setting that would fix this issue for KitKat. It worked for me with stock Lollipop.
The app you need is NextApp SDFix. I would have posted a link but the forum software prevents me. It is in Google Play...

[Q] Adflex android virus / trojan horse

Hello OneplusOne users,
has anybody know this Adflex virus / trojan horse?
Every few hours my display shows ads by Adflex.
For example Hola Launcher ads.
I searched Google for "Adflex Android"...
But there are only strange search results, linking to sites, where I shall download a file called "SpyHunter-Installer.exe". These websites are not serios, I think.
I have tried Avast, Ahnlab and AVG. None of these anti virus apps finds any real malware / viruses / trojan horses, except SuperSu or busybox installer...
What can I try now?
I do not want to wipe my data.
Does anybody know this ****?
Edit: AdAway is not working anymore.

Wipe your phone before anything important gets stolen from you, as sensitive information.

Have you tried malwarebytes? Might be worth a shot.

Root and install a new rom.
Make sure you use TITANIUM BACKUP to backup all of your data.

I have solved my problem.
First I checked my cm12s on second slot.
Last time I booted this is a few weeks ago and then was everything fine.
Now cm12s is affected, too.
I have wiped everything.
Clean installed Temasek's cm12.1 v12.1.
Everything was ok then, until I installed Mybackup Root from play store. After installing this, first ads were shown within seconds. Adaway stopped working again.
After I wiped cache, deleted data and uninstalled Mybackup Root, everything seems to be OK.
Now I will switch back to Titanium Backup.
How can this happen with an app, installed from official play store?

Don't restore a backup, you will just be restoring the malware too. You need to do a completely clean install.

By complete I mean do not use titanium backup.

That's true and that's exactly what I did.
Und would be really stupid to restore an old backup...
I have even wiped internal storage as well.
I meant, that I will switch back to Titanium Backup for future backups...

You go to Settings> Developer options>
Process Stats> see further application the name (vn.adflex.process ..) comes, it is to be deleted

Moving to a new ROM

I've been using RobbieL811 Uber rom for quite a while but now development seems to have come to a halt. A couple of posters say move to a new ROM so I tried Resurrection Remix. I don't have time to move my data (Inc save games that don't cloud save) individually, so I Googled the best way to do this. I got a load of 2013 posts about restoring the data partition from the nandroid backup. After installing RR and restoring the backup of the data I just get boot freeze. Is there something I'm missing?

I don't know who said to restore a data backup from a nandroid, that's wrong, it's a huge no-no. The data backup includes all data from the ROM, not just apps, so it's attempting to restore incompatible system settings and stuff like that. You can just use Titanium Backup to make backups of your apps and then restore them after you've flashed your new ROM.

Yep titanium is what u need

Thanks for your assist guys, tried what you suggested and it worked! Until I rebooted. Now it just boots for ages. And nothing else. I've unselected any system apps.

Exactly what did you do? You need to provide a detailed account of everything that lead to this point. What did you restore with Titanium?

I did two over the course of the night, the first I restored everything, including system apps like dialler, Gmail etc. But this broke it. So I wiped, installed, and restored only missing apps and data. Still broken on reboot.

You can't restore system apps/data, that's why it was borked the first time. It's also possible that you restored system/app data the second time too. Only ever restore user apps.

After using titanium to restore user apps and data, some apps just force closed on opening unless I removed the data then it worked. Decided to restore from backup and give it up until 6.0 rom appears.

Make sure you start with a clean slate. Factory reset and flash new Rom before restoring any backup. Are you good up to that point?

I don't know what you're doing wrong man, I change ROMS every now and then, and I just backup my games and apps with Titanium Backup, install new ROM, and restore my apps, always works unless you mess up real bad

titanium backup pro (worth it for flashaholics) or zipme

i have never had that issues on 5 different phones and multiple different roms... try rom toolbox or zipme

Finally gave it one last ditch attempt (well two, actually).
Tried flashing Sultan Cm12 rom, but it unroots the device so bailed on it.
Put latest Resurrection Remix on, restored user apps but was more careful about when I restored. Mostly Google apps and some xposed apps, some Robbie rom stuff that wasn't needed and voila! Posting this from a working rom! Had to reinstall xposed framework and Waze from scratch but that's fine.
Thanks for the support guys!
