Quick question for someone that knows more than me, if I delete an apk from the system folder on any given Rom will that remove the app and install it? Would it leave any remnants behind to possibly drain battery? Thanks for any info.

Technically what's left behind won't drain battery as there isn't an apk to run, but you may want to wipe data for the app you're removing since the data will remain. You can do that through settings > applications > manage applications, then the "all" tab. Find the app you're going to remove and "clear data". This will also clear the cache. Or you can use Titanium Backup to wipe the data of the app. If you're going to use Titanium, you may as well just uninstall it from there. If you have the pro key for TB you can also freeze the app.
Ok thanks a lot.

Okay I enjoy rooting my phone and changing Roms all the time but I just have a quick question. I play homerun battle 3d a lot and I'm addicted to getting far in the game however everytime I flash a new Rom my data is erased now the question is how do I go about saving the data and restoring it after a Rom flash off about my other apps just this one. I know everyone is going to say titanium backup but how do I go about saving and restoring it thanks for the help

Titanium. Use the batch backup and batch restore functions for your apps + data. When you restore, you need to reboot your phone to let the system data populate.
I don't want to backup all my apps just that one game and its data. And when I flash a Rom do I install as usual then restore or do I just go to titanium and it'll set everything up itself

Don't install it first, just use titanium to restore that app+data. You won't lose a thing. HRB3D is awesome, I completely understand your concerns.
THANKS and my final question is do I need to have titanium backup pro to back up data or is the free one good enough
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
The free one will do it. The only difference between the two versions that I have noticed is the batch restore on the paid version is set it and forget it, whereas the free version you have to hit ok for every. single. freaking. app that you want to restore.
Oh okay thanks that's no problem for ne I just need to save that game the rest I can download fresh thanks so much saved ne so much playing and replaying of the samething

I don't like titanium. MyBackup works better IMO.

I've heard a few people say that. What does MyBackup do that Titanium doesn't? Or what does it do better?
Much more user friendly IMO.
You can choose to backup your data and then deselect anything that you don't want to backup (ie. text messages, call log, bookmarks, etc.).

You can choose to backup your apps and then deselect any that you don't want to backup. It will then ask you if you want to backup apps, app data, or apps and app data.
It has a free 30 day trial.......try it out.

Well you can do that with titanium too. I will admit though, it's not a very user friendly app, at least not at first. It took me a minute to figure out how to use it. I will check out MyBackup though on your recommendation. It's always good to have multiple options. Thanks!
stupid question but i want to swith from 1 rom to another and when i did it before i lost all my apps and eveything . how do i save all this stuff and get it to come back when i reload a new rom. ?
I prefer MyBackup Pro while others like Titanium. It is generally not good practice to load anything but apps when restoring data to a different rom. If its ACS to ACS then restoring the data along with the app is fine but if you're going from ACS to say Bonsai just load the app but no data. Its not the end of the world if you do but it may lead to some instabilities. If you need the data then go ahead but try to limit it. Do not backup/restore system data however.
Post in the right section....
Moved to Q&A.
First off, this is in the wrong section. You are not developing an app that backups apps and data, next time post this in Q&A to avoid negative attention (the guys around here will be offering it up lol).
Secondly, restoring "System Data" and "App Data" are very different. App Data is very safe to restore. Just be careful when moving from Android versions. My wife lost all of her app data when she went to Gingerbread, restored all of her apps she backed up from Froyo and got a ton of FC's so she had to downgrade back over to Froyo.
The important part of using Titanium Backup is to filter out system data so you only back up apps you have installed and the data it has written (for instance the Angry Birds App and all the levels and points etc).
here is a link to a walk through that covers the ins and outs of this app

Besides Titanium, your apps should reappear for download I the market under myapps (in theory anyway) after your google account fully syncs. You can also back up your system apps with sdx app removal tool.
Do you BONSAI?

I use Titanium Backup all the time. But one thing I have not yet figured out is this.
I flash a new ROM.
Go to Play Store and download Titanium Backup & License.
I restore all my apps (including Titanium).
But none of the settings I've set up for Titanium Backup are restored?
I have to go through the menu and re-do all my preferences, etc. for TB.
What am I doing wrong?
Its the first option under the preferences menu.

confirmed this does nothing, hit the option, played around on thunderbird opening and closing, even killing, no such backup file is ever created. I wipe and load up a new titanium app, use the setting, but nothing happens.
so this def does not work, does anyone know of a way that does work, maybe this time with instructions on where to find this ghost settings file?
thanks!

Works for me. I haven't had to set preferences in TB for a while.

Yeah it's been working great for me also.
Are you using the free or paid version of TB? I have the paid version and maybe that is a requirement.
This might be a newb question, but I just wanted to make sure. I see that Titanium Backup has the ability to uninstall system apps, and there are a few in the ROM I'm using that I just don't care to use. The apps are Twitter, Google+, Play Books, Play Music, and Play Movies & TV. These don't seem integral to the system itself so would it be okay if I just uninstall them? Is there a better way besides Titanium Backup to uninstall, and does it leave traces behind? Thanks for the help!
yea it would be okay to uninstall them , it doesn't effect
Remove and fear nothing
Back them up and then delete them, if the deletion of them causes problems then restore them and delete them one by one until you find the one causing the problem and just keep it (sadly), but the applications you listed should not effect the device in any way after uninstalling.

I've always used Titanium Backup to remove bloatware from stock roms on my phones and its been great. Just try and be sure that the apps you uninstall are not sense related, google services, sms, phone, stock browser, etc. etc.
Hello Everyone
I have installed a custom ROM that is really close to stock Touchwiz.
However it includes some kind of "AT&T address book" app that pops up whenever I go to phone and press contacts, for example. This causes my phone to lag too as it opens this useless app, as I am not even with AT&T. I was wondering about how to remove it, or perhaps a contacts apk that I can replace it with that does not have this built in?
Thank you
Use root explorer and nav to system/app. Mount r/w and delete the app. Reboot.

Mind writing the name of the app? Tried doing this on a couple of roms, but could not find it...
Can't you just freeze/uninstall it with titanium backup?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk 2
I would simply uninstall it with Titanium Backup, however I think the app is somehow fused into the contacts application. In Titanium Backup I could not locate any process or application related to it. Unless I am missing something or it goes under a different name?

They say to freeze the Synchronize v1 process using Titanium Backup, but is it safe to delete it? Considering it will never be used, ever.

That's up to u. If you freeze it and have no issues I guess you could. I usually freeze most apps I dont use just in case. Unless its a well known app and I know what it is. Flashing the ROM again would install it if u ever wanted it.

Kyocera AAB (AT&T Address Book) Disable
Go to the Apps screen, run Settings, select Apps.
Swipe Left to see RUNNING apps!
Select AAB then Stop it, Swipe Left again to see ALL apps and select AAB and Disable it.
This will stop the auto sync when you open contacts on the Kyocera C6745.
