Hi-
I just upgraded to the rooted UECLK7 for p3113 via: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2099779&highlight=ueclk7
Now when I go into /system/app/ and try to delete the bloatware, it says it cannot delete. I tried it with ES File explorer.
I would never have problems with deleting this way (either with my galaxy s2 or all previous versions of my p3113).
I know I'm rooted because I restored all my apps with Titanium.
Am I missing something?
a point in the right direction would be appreciated. thank you.
There is a free version of an app called NoBloat - basically does what you are looking for - also requires root access, so give it a try, if it does not work there may be a problem with your "rooting"
Good luck,

Thank you! that worked.
Still curious as to why I can't delete it from ES File Explorer... but anyway, thank you.

actually I take that back.
The app says it's been uninstalled and deleted, but it's still there.
I went back and ran CF autoroot (chainfire for P3113) to confirm root again, but I still cannot delete system apps. this is annoying.
thank you though.

I came across a list of preloaded bloat that seems safe to uninstall. Here's a copy of it. It's for the 10 inch I believe, but a lot of the apps are the same. We have a couple they don't and vice versa. But this is a great start.

I froze unwanted programs first. I started removing them tonight using Titanium, as I have a pro license for my phone. I converted to user app first and then uninstalled from the stock apps / menu list. I verified they successfully removed by checking disk space with DiskUsage app and checking the apps file location / path with ES Explorer to verify it was in fact uninstalled and deleted.
So my suggestion is to try the way I did with Titanium. If that fails, it sounds like a read write attributes / permissions problem. Also, verify root with Root checker.

I have came across an app or two I wanted to uninstall. It was a system app, but no option to convert from system app to user app in TiBu. Tried the forced remove method, the tab rebooted with an error and didn't uninstall. Going to try an look into this more this weekend. In the meantime, Should you figure out how, please post how you did it.
Checking back in. I installed NoBloat and have not had any problems deleting system apps. Just deleted about 15 and going to find out what others I can uninstall. Also, verified deletion by checking file path in ES. Packages are gone.
OP, how is your progress? Have you been able to delete the problem app? Is it just 1 app, or multiple? Can you list them please?

I too have this problem. just picked up 2 galaxy tablet 7 from bb. had newest 4.1.1 update already. both are rooted with super and used es file (with root permis) to unistall bloat apk. tells me zineo (for example) cannot be deleted. ok. switched to tibu and it tells me file has been success unist. cool. reboot. dammit. zineo apk is still there even after tibu said it was unist. will play around with some more bload removal tools from play store.
update, installed system app remover...it failed to remove zinio...or music hub...
update. ok, what the ****?! I installed nobloatware free and go to sys app. it displays all apps. scroll down to zinio. delete without back up. it says deleting and the apk is gone...or so it seems. es file shows it's still there. go back to nobloatware and try again. select the apk and it's gone from the list, but i flip it and the app list refreshes and zinio is still there. why is root checker telling me i have root and es and tibu also indicates i have root but i can't delete the bloatware?

you can remove system apps with root browser with root browser goto system/app/and select which system app you want to delete after successfully deletion you need to reboot your mobile
or just install this app called nobloat from google play
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...atfree&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd and find which app you want to remove after successfully removed you need to restart your mobile done

If u used Titanium to delete app and if u are viewing the list of apps using titanium, they will still appear in the list but a strike through line indicating that the app has been deleted but backed up in titanium folder. However, if you want the app to be removed cleanly, use Root explorer and delete the app from the System/app folder.
Ok,thanks guys , when I've time I'll try :laugh:
Hi! Sorry for my bad english, I speak french...
Everytime I open an app, it recognizes me, but I don't want it to recognize me.
I tried:
-Re-installing the app.
-Resetting my phone.
-Changing my phone ID using Titanium Backup.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Uninstalling doesn't remove all files. Certain files are left. You can trying installing clean master from app store and then clean all junk files.
You can also try using titanium backup and wipe data for that app.
Hope I helped

I used the "factory reset" option from my bootloader, so all files should be removed, right? Then using titanium backup I changed my ID, re-install the app, but it still recognizes me...
Hello, I've made a threat not so long ago
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/rooted-delete-bloatware-t3058272
I'm still unable to delete apps, as u might know, lenovo a850 comes with many useless chineese apps. I have disabled/frozen them, now I'm missing some internal memory.
I rooted my phone with framaroot, installed supersu.
then I tried removing apps with Es file explorer, I gained superuser access to it, and to all apps below, but "operation failed" . Same thing happened to Root explorer.
Later on, I have downloaded no bloat, It says "(app) deleted" but when I exit app and come back in, the app is still there. Same thing is with Titanium backup, I can select uninstall app, it fake uninstalled it, but when I reboot my phone, app is still there, no mater what I do.
Also, I tried using recovery exploit, phone reboots, but the app(s) still remain there
If anyone had same or similar issue, I would've really appreciate any help.
I can provide more info, about build, etc.

Try root browser and locate the apps mostly it's in system/apps ....and delete the apk and restart ur phone ...
sent from my GT I9505 5.0.1
Tried it, still, apps are there
Now, I managed to find why it is unable to delete apps, because permissions.
However i can't change them either. Using total commander, es file explorer or using terminal, every time I get the same error.

First thing first,
WHY...WHY DO YOU MANUALLY DELETE IT?
No offense bud, but yeah after you did that, you missed its registry, permissions, licenses and crap.
Ever heard about Uninstaller[ROOT]?
Ever?
This app saves your LIFE,PHONE and ITS LONGEVITY. This app also indicates what app you should delete, what you shouldn't.:good:

Do you actually got root access? You should make the Uninstaller app to ALWAYS GRANT and try again. If no success screenshot me the error popup you are facing.
The thing is, there is no error showing, after "deleting" app, it disappears, but after re-running app, it appears again. The thing is I cannon't change r/w access on .apk files in system/app folder. Even using apps that can change permissions and after granting them.superuser access, I'm unable to change it. On my old phone, after rooting my phone I could easily delete .apk filrs using ES file browser.
Thanks for replying

Unknown volume huh? Can you execute it? If you can't, I guess you can clean it up by using SD Maid. If the app is even functional....
"WTF? Is this hardware level?"
I would say the abruptly choice to is to COMPLETE WIPE (ROM,kernel,bootloader) and install new ROM. That's my level of expertise, no beyond that.
I mean, something glitched your volumes that they registered empty in kernel but not in the software, or a triple-A type of administration crapware that's preloaded within the ROM which, "BY ANY MEANS...TOP SECURITY SYSTEM APP PROTECTION PREVENTS ANY SOFTWARE-LEVEL DATA TERMINATIONS! ENSURES APPS ARE IN FACTORY STATE, NO MATTER WHATEVER LEVEL OF BREACH INJECTION! DESIGNED BY CHINA COMPANIES! PROVIDED TO YOU!"....
Well that thing actually exists, FYI, and that's the working theory right now.
In addition, try logging via CatLog, cause that is very little log lines for me to decipher.

So i need to back up app which has backup function disabled, so i decompiled app, changed backup to true and compiled, app installed and i could back it up with adb but data was gone, i needed to keep /data/data/com.myapp so i did, with pm uninstall -k and it kept data but now i can't install my modified version, it gives me error "signatures do not match the previously installed version" is there any way around this?
i don't need some root solutions, my goal is to back it up from pc with adb without root
i also tried to extract data with app not installed, but didn't work, what tells phone not to back it up if app is not installed? data itself?
EDIT: oh boi, i just realised this is general thread, can't delete or move, mods please? xD

can't recall solving it. my guess is that it's not possible on newer android versions anymore
The app data will be encrypted, only way I know of is root and use titanium backup pro or similar app
