How can I remove system applications

I tried searching, but got mixed directions and methods that ended up confusing me.
Running Baked Snack 9.7 and there are some apps that I would like to remove, mainly every trace of Sense.
Tried removing them through ES file explorer to no avail.

Try this method. I am using DC and there is an application called "DConfig" that allows me to ban sense (if I desire). If you don't want sense, I would suggest flashing a ROM that doesn't use it (like CM6). CM6 is a Froyo ROM too which is a huge plus. I would use it but I'm a bit attached to sense at the moment. Hope this helps.

Titanium Backup is the easiest way IMO. Just tap the app and click uninstall

Never knew this feature was built into titanium ..... this method is probably better as I will have a backup of what I remove assuming I remove something that I shouldn't lol. I wonder if there is a thread somewhere that gives a list of stuff that is safe to remove through titanium. Time to search

RootManager work too

[Q] How do I uninstall uninstallable apps?

For instance, I install a ROM that includes an app which I TOTALLY don't want, but will not let me uninstall through app manager, or even an app on the rooted stock version if I didn't want to use a custom ROM.... is there some sort of combination of Superuser Permissions and another app? I thought I remember reading something about a file explorer w/SU that lets you do that, but I can't find the post. =[

Use Titanium Backup, can uninstall pretty much anything

Faaaaaaantastic! TiB worked like a charm =] Cheers mate!

Also, the explorer you were referring to is called root explorer. That works great. I used it to go into /system/apps and rename all the Sprint crap to .bak at the end of the file type, and they no longer run or show in app drawer. But they're not deleted, in case you ever need them back.

Download Titanium Backup, go to setting and enable "Chuck Norris" mode, and you are good to go. Definitely check out the safe to delete thread and don't uninstall anything that has to do with Google Talk. It will screw up your market downloads.

Recommendation Of Root apps or Roms?

Hey I just wanted to know any of your opinion or any good place to get new stuff for my rooted phone, And also I've been searching everywhere and someone told me they had Icecream Sandwhich for my phone and I can't find it anywhere

Setcpu(manages cpu clock) and solid explorer(file explorer) are must have root apps.
OsiMood_v2.06.07 is my prefered rom. It comes with quickpanel settings app which lets you can change the toggles in the notification menu.

Unfortunately, the FBI seems to like Snappzmarket too. Or rather, not like.

System App Mover, AdFree, Apex Launcher, LBE Privacy Guard, Root Explorer, Titanium Backkup, that´s all for now.

I would suggest using the following apps, some depend on what rom/firmware your using.
*** apps ***
Titanium Backup
Root uninstaller
SD Maid
System Tuner
ES File Manager (or any file manager that allows you root access.)
Adb wireless
App2Rom
Avast! Mobile Security
Go Backup
Root booter (paid for app)
Sqlite installer for root
Busy box
Super SU
*** ROM Specific ***
Rom toolbox pro (has a lite version but pro paid is much better!)
ROM Manager premium
Boot logo manager
And all these apps have others below on play store, bottom of each respective app that others either have installed or users also viewed catagories..

I had battery calibration but i was told by another user that is not good to have for some reason that i forgot and he was told that by an official google developer. i guess the better option would be to let your battery completely drain and then re charge it fully and not wipe battery stats

Superuser/SuperSU - there is no root without these.
Titanium Backup - Probably the second best root app in existence. Good for so many reasons; notice how everyone mentioned it?
Root Explorer - Awesome.
Mobile ODIN - Replaces Rom Manager/GooManager. Just no reason to use them, IMO. Between CWM/TWRP and Mobile ODIN, your flashing needs are covered. Learn how to do things the manual way, then play with automated tools.
Terminal Emulator - CM10 comes with this. Great power tool.
CatLog - on-device logcat management. You can use ADB, but this is quicker.
SetCPU - if you want to OC/UV.
SD Maid - CCleaner for Android.
BusyBox - Most custom roms come with it (at least the useful binaries). Any custom ROM that doesn't come with BusyBox isn't worth your time (unless it's stock-rooted, but you use those for a different reason).
Triangle Away gets an honorable mention.

The you need to have root tethering apps

Surprised that noone mentioned Rom Toolbox yet, that app have a lot of root functions combined into one app. Also, BetterBatteryStats for monitoring wakelocks.

[Q] New to root - basic questions - need suggestions | Canadian Rogers GS3

Hello everyone,
I've been using android for about 3.5 years now and finally decided to root my phone and make it more customizable. Pretty frustrated w/ preloaded apps and the slowness of my device. I did use helium, tasker etc. and customized the theme of my phone using Nova, icon theme --- now I am ready to look beyond.
I'm trying to install CyanogenMod (can anyone suggest a good guide or should I wait for the app?) - what is superuser? - already bought Franco Kernel (good decision? or should have bought setCPU?) - what is the purpose of BusyBox? should I get ROM Toolbox Pro/ROM Manager - is it worth buying Titanium Backup Pro if you already have/use helium? Is there any other app I should consider looking? Something that is fast, clean, and customizable - trying for a futuristic look.
I have read
Code:

I want to search for stuff but don't know what to search for as I have less knowledge about it - I would appreciate if you direct me to specific threads/links. I tried broadening my search on google and it hasn't helped much. I'm more of a visual & kinesthetic learner.
Thank for you help. :good:
(I love to support developers who promotes a positive user experience so buying isnt a problem - only when an app serves my purpose)

Here are a couple links to start with. I haven't read through these links thoroughly but they will give you the general idea. You don't need to buy a bunch of root apps, just try some free ones first and see if you like them. Each rom thread should have install instructions at the original post. Make sure you have a rom file and or backup of your system on your sdcard at all times.

Most important thing before installing roms/modifying your system is to
A) make sure you have a custom recovery installed like team win recovery (twrp)
B) you have made a backup in your custom recovery of your stock rooted system
C) (optional) you have copied the twrp folder (which contains your system backup) from your sd card to your computer for safe keeping
D) do not wipe (erase) any unnecessary things when you are in custom recovery.
Be careful with titanium backup. It tends to corrupt data. If a rom isn't running smoothly and you restored a lot of items with titanium backup, it's probably titanium backup causing issues. Its really better to just reinstall apps fresh from google play when you install a new rom.

Greenify is a really good root only app and so is Trickster MOD for handling CPU levels, governers, schedulers, etc. If your only on lets say, rooted on 4.1.2 stock, the app Quick Boot is essential for rebooting into recovery and download mode without having to mash on your buttons all the time.
