I've used an app called App vault which hides apps (requires root and not free though).

Rename
While on the subject. I would like to rename down loaded apps. Primarily to assist sorting and also some of the names could be better.
TIA

Root and use a tool such as root explorer to delete the relevant .apk from system/app/ directory. Oh and next time, use the search!
Regards.
Root and use Titanium Backup to Freeze the app, then after a while you are sure the phone is still working properly you can uninstall the app using Titanium Backup. If strange things start happening unfreeze the app.
free solution
root and use 'Antek app manager' to freeze the app, it's free.
freeze is available in Titanium Backup pro only, (paid version).

Easiest way is to use the darkyota tool.

Hello,
After the recent update: Sense 3.0, android 2.3.5, everytime I reboot my mobile it makes alot of sound, how do I turn this off?
I can't find any option to stop the sound even though my 'soundprofile' is on vibrate..
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Normally my phone only vibrated when I rebooted, now it first vibrates, then it makes a startup-sound.
I am sure it has to do something with the new update, since it never was there..

If you want to remove it I think it's in /system/media/audio/ui
I can't check 'cause I don't have it on

Sry I should have been more clear! You need root access and probably S-OFF and then a file manager.

Nvm i figured out that i could go 'up' and explore all maps in stead of just my sdcart. Now the problem is that i dont see any audio which is named 'reboot/start up' anythig like that. Its all ui-sound (lock screen, unlock,cam, etc..)

You need to have an root explorer with permissions to delete it! What file explorer do you use?

Astro, but I'm not having root-access.. so I guess I gotta wait until I can root my mobile.
I'm on 3.13.xxx. at least the one which is not able to root, yet

I think you can root it and when you do I have made a flashable zip that deletes the sound

You can use this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper&hl=en
Assuming you're using TouchWiz, you can hide the root icon by using the Hide Applications feature built into TouchWiz
Go to your app drawer, press setting and HIDE APPLICATIONS and select the root icon
You can also use the OTA RootKeeper to reinitialize root... I use this method to hide root to run applications that won't run on rooted phones like RedBox Instant by Verizon although I have yet to use it because I haven't received my free trial!
What do you mean by root icon? Are You referring to SuperSU app?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Hiding the icon as in that method (not using rootkeeper), would just hide your superuser app from the app drawer, so yes

It's asking you to replace a system app which means that it is already installed. just check again mate..
To make sure that its installed go to Setting --> Apps --> All then search for "notes"
If you found it, try to add its widget to your homescreen. and also, make sure when you are searching for it in the "app drawer" that you are in "all" tab not in "downloads" tab because it's a system app and it is not downloaded..
If notes app didn't show up that means that there is something wrong with that notes app you have and it requires root access to remove that system app and replace it with another one but its pointless as you said that your phone is not rooted..

Not tested, but I know there is a module for xposed framework (i think it is called something like "cloak hider" or similar) it hides root for some apps. Maybe you want to take a look at this?!
