[Q] Deletting Cookies, History, Temp. Int. Files?

On my last Windows Based phone, I would go to File Explore>My Device>Windows>Profiles>guest>....here I could see Folders for Cookies, History, and Temporary Internet Files...where I would delete these temporary files after surfing the web to clear memory.
On my Tilt2 I realized I have to individually select each file to delete it...that I couldn't drag the highlighted file or have an option to select all...
Is there a way to delete these temporary files without going through and individually selecting each file and deleting them individually? Is there a way to select all or more than one to delete at a time? Or is there a better way to do this all together?
Thanks

[Q] Debloating

Hi all,
Is there a list of LG apks/odex files that we can delete without causing problems on LU6200. I really can't use most of them and it makes my drawer messy especially with korean captions which I can't read.
Thanks.
Yeah. Same for the AT&T P930.

I managed to get rid of unnecessary apps by obtaining root. Then I enabled root explorer on ES file explorer. I then renamed those apks whose icons match those applications that i want to get rid of. At first I just try to rename them then if nothing bad happens after I reboot, I delete them. I use ES file explorer as it shows the icons of the apps so it is easy to associate the apks with the application. I still have 3 or 4 apps that I want to get rid of but I can't find the corresponding apks.

preinstalled bookmarks

Searched this forum and couldn't find an answer. On the galaxy S3 you could go to app manager, delete data, and remove the preinstalled bookmarks, doesn't seem to work on the note 3. None of the bookmark manager apps work either. Is this a root only option now? Anyone successfully removed them without root? I have no problem rooting mine, but my wife doesn't want to on hers, but the bookmarks drive her nuts.
Thanks in advance

Hopefully someone can answer but I have run into issues with using the old method of removing the bookmarks by editing the browser.db with SQLite located in /data/data/com.android.browser/databases/. The db name and location has changed though in 4.3 tmo note 3. Now the new database "SBrowser.db" is located at /data/data/com.sec.android.app.sbrowser/databases.
The old method does not work anymore at least for me. You can delete the bookmarks from the database but they still remain in tthe stock browser.
I encountered a similar issue with regard to the presidential alerts. Where editing the mms prefs xml was successful but upon reboot the setting went back to the old value.
Seems there is some file integrity checking going on somewhere. Just a newb so dont know fo sho.

Want to keep this thread alive. I've got root and still can't find an easy way to wipe out these bookmarks.
Not sure if it will work without a data wipe, but you can set those bookmarks as editable in I think the customer.xml in /system/csc/
If you delete PartnerBookmarksprovider.apk it deletes the annoying stock bookmarks.

Editing the XML file worked! You have to find the tags in the xml file <bookmark> delete the <bookmark></bookmark> and everything in between them. There is tag for each bookmark. Then copy the file back to your /system/csc directory. After editing you have to go into the app settings in Application Manager and wipe the Data & Cashe for the Internet Browser. You will loss all bookmarks, cookies, saved passwords, etc. but once done you'll have non of the preloaded bookmarks,only what you add. Long live opensource:good::highfive:

Thanks, this method works perfectly... But...
If you dont want to delete your browsers cache and data,
you can just change the string on every link from :
<Editable>no</Editable> to <Editable>yes</Editable>
Then, restart your phone and you can delete or edit the factory links.
This worked for me
I am rooted and neither technique work for me. I am having permission problems and can't take control of the file.
How did you get the correct permissions?

Deleting pre-installed bookarks on GS3 4.3
If you want to delete those pre-installed bookmarks from your Galaxy S3 4.3 that seem glued to Android, get yourself a root browser, aswell as having actual root access, doesn't matter which one aslong as it has 'mount read-write' support. eg, FX file explorer, or even ES file explorer. I'm sure there are others. Anyways...Go to System/root>csc>Customer.xml....Open the xml file, and look for the first line of BookmarkName>, and look for anything that says <Editable>no</Editable> and change tham all to <Editable>yes</Editable> Close, and save changes.
After that, open up Settings>Application manager>All, then open up 'Internet', and clear cache, and data(Important), close, and restart your phone(Important).
Now you will be able to remove those bookmarks. Follow this to the letter, and it will definatey work.
*Deleting the strings between </bookmarks> and <bookmarks> will not work, they will be re-created upon startup. It used to work before 4.3 update, but not now. The only changes that persist in the file change of customer.xml IS changing from 'no' to 'yes'.
Prior to CF-Auto-Root, the TWEAKED mod, and the XPosed framework with a couple-three of their thingies installed, I don't recall ever trying the long press. Being unable to delete those WRETCHED PRE-INSTALLED BOOKMARKS via checkbox method in the app was the only thing, THE ONLY THING holding me back from using it fully.
Well, wham. I've long-pressed them since then and just chose delete.

Deleting Apps

Hi,
I used Xplore to delete manually:
/system/app/Blurb.apk
/system/app/PageBuddyNotiSvc2.apk
/system/app/PageBuddyNotiSvc2.odex
/system/app/SamsungHubUpdater.apk
/system/app/SamsungHub_phone_qHD.apk
/system/app/PreloadInstaller.apk
/system/app/PreloadInstaller.odex
Is there more files to these apps (like .so files or whatever) that I missed? Where can I find them?
If I use Titanium, will it remove apps more completly?
It seems after rooting (with arco) and deleting those files it isn't as snappy as before...
Nobody?
