Guess now I have found a reason to want a custom rom on this phone because I want the social media apps gone. I don't use Facebook nor do I plan to so I hope HTC pushes out an update to allow this app to be removed.

Facebook has been a system app as long as I can remember. Really...even my EVO 4G had Facebook installed to the system. Doesn't have to be a custom rom...just root, and an app capable of uninstalling system apps, like Titanium Backup.

What I do to fullfil your wish, and root's not needed: I simply deactivate Facebook and uninstall updates to free some space: problem solved

Yeah...there's that option. Disable it.

If not a system app, I don't see any other reason why the OP can't uninstall...
If you are using a custom rom, there is a strong chance that it is not installed onto the system partition.
Fb is def a system app but just disable it
Anyway to Disable/Uninstall the Mail and Message App without rooting?
You don't need root to disable apps anymore (you need it to uninstall system apps though)
Could always use package disabler to disable both the app and it's associated system components. It doesn't require root but it does require you to remove all your accounts and set them up again (settings > Google)

A screenshot of your App Info page for Facebook would be helpful. Same goes for the OP.

Sorry I misspoke. I was talking about system apps like the Mail or HTC MSG app that wont let me disable or uninstall.

So, the ROM works fine and everything is dandy, but the main issue that irks me is that I have to press "ok" every time after disabling data:
http://gyazo.com/24c68b47ea03f668397c798bac1df55f
Is there a way I can change that the message does not show up or do I need to go into ADB? I'm not sure how ADB works either.
TestKnow has also released a universal ADB driver. Not sure how well that works or if anyone has pointers because I had a tough time installing ADB in the first place.
Another issue is the messenger app. There's a different version of the stock messenger app that I want to install because in this version I can send messages without typing anything:
http://gyazo.com/f38f7d74870c98b40d1e39ab66d24e19
I tried to push another app before but it just permanently crashed the app and I had to reflash. Is there another way? ADB again?
Thanks.
Sadly this is present in both stock 5.0.2 and 5.1.1.

The disabling data thing? I mean, I can live with this and the other issue, but I would be happier if I could fix them. I know phones aren't perfect so I'm just trying to be realistic here. I haven't downloaded any apps yet to see if I can remedy these two things first. Thanks for replying.
If you're rooted you can use mobile toggle data from xda.
Google it.
With that you can either make a widget or Tasker profile.

I meant from the pulldown menu like in this picture: http://gyazo.com/24c68b47ea03f668397c798bac1df55f
It's not a dealbreaker for me but it would be nicer.
Would you know how to push an apk into the system drawer? I wanted to add a different version of the messenger and maybe keyboard app.

Sadly no, but will be happy to hear it, if you find a way!
You can use ROM toolbox pro to convert a user app to a system app.
Or if you already have a system app apk file then just paste or move it /System/app or priv app and set permissions using a file explorer then reboot phone.

He want it in the notification drawer.
I am happily running lolipop 5.0.2 but I have an annoying system upgrade notification icon sitting on the status that I can't make go away.
I have software updates set to 'Do not update automatically'
I've tried 3C Toolkit and unchecked the system update service in Google Play Framework as well as Do not display notifications for Google Play Services not neither works.
Any suggestions as to how I can remove the icon and notification please?

reboot after uninstall
Easiest way is to simply install Autostarts off f-droid-(free apk not on play store). It has two options. By name or by action. Using both, disable whatever you want. I uninstall myexperia using Amaze file manager and simply disable updater. Though uninstalling it too wouldn't hurt either.

If the original app was a system app and you installed the music app without root then I believe you should just be able to uninstall the update from the apps settings page and the original system app should reappear since you can not uninstall system apps.

Hi everyone.
Running stock OP6 latest update.
Installed settings app from apk mirror and now the same won't open up instead keeps stopping again and again.
Since it won't open I can't uninstall it.
Anyone has a clue what to do about it?
Thanks in advance.
Edit. Same happening with dialer and contacts app.
Both updated through apk mirror.
Although Camera, Gallery and Files app work perfectly fine.
Anyone with an answer?
How to revert back to previous app version?
Edit : Finally had to reset my device and things settled. Although all my data is gone.
I suppose just too bad for me.
But I'm facing a pesky issue.
The files app shows no data but my gallery is picking up old garbage even after wiping the device clean. (Foolish of me not backing up the data)
PS I used the hard reset if anyone's wondering using the device's stock recovery.
I'll share the screenshot of the same..
Kindly suggest what's wrong with this..
i think u can uninstall app from the app drawer. long press the settings icon , and click uninstall if the options is available. if it isn't , u can re flash the whole rom by dirty flashing it. it shouldn't wipe the data.
As Azhar_Fahry mentioned, you can uninstall an app / app update from app drawer.
1. Tap and hold to get the options
2 (if OP launcer is updated), drag the icon to top (from app drawer) and you can select app info and then uninstall updates.
Alternatively,
You can install Link2SD and uninstall app / app updates from there.

Again system apps can't be uninstalled normally.
Secondly I'm not rooted to used link2SD.
I think need to dirty flash my phone.
System apps cannot be uninstalled if not rooted, but you can uninstall updates installed from play store or any external source. (You can reset the system app(s) to Rom default)
Attaching Scrrenshots - Follow from 1-end, click OK at the end. ( I am showing example of gmail, you can use it for any other systrm app too)
Naming screenshots 1-2-3-4-5 according to steps.
Uninstall updates to the settings app maybe. But if not dirty flashing the ROM will work

Not working since again settings app kept stopping.
Dirty/Fresh Install of Rom it is then
1. Download and launch latest Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools from there
2.Enable USB debugging and connect your device to your pc.
Notes.
*You can uninstall or disable stock apps (later you can re-install them or re-enable them if you need them back)
*Be carefull and do some research before uninstall something.. worst case your device may end in bootloop
*Latest Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot need java 11 or later to work.
Apps i uninstalled and everything works good so far.

hi,
i dont know where to post but I have a problem with my Xiaomi Mi Note 10 lite.
A few months ago I deactivated a few apps. Later I wanted to reenable them and except for 3 apps all apps were activated. Now I have still 3 Apps deactivated and if I want to reactivate them via Fastboot Tools it says [ADB Error]. I attached a screenshot.
Does anybody else has this problem or knows a solution?
