no you can only remove system apps if you have root. but you can always just temp root and remove them
Systems applications (stock apps that came with a new phone) cannot be removed without rooting.

Carriers think they know what apps you need better than you do.

Visionary doesn't work anymore btw. Even the temp root doesn't work. Just use the xda guide to temp root your phone and use titanium backup to remove the apps.

Ya i tried visionary a few weeks after i got my phone in april to temp root and it worked. I decided to perm root in end of june and needed to downgrade but that required temp root so i tried visionary again but i got stuck in a black screen so every time i would have to push the home key.

I'm sure you guys have noticed that Hulu claims our platform isn't supported. I was wondering if anyone has tried this technique yet to get Hulu to believe the flash player is installed on a windows box? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794512
I haven't tried it yet, but I know by default I cannot uninstall the Flash 10.1 build that was included on the phone in order to install the fixed apk...
I pretty much decided that since HSPA+ doesn't cover the WHOLE of my city yet then I won't bother with data heavy sites like Hulu on my phone for now.

this phone only pulls up mobile sites by default? theres no way of changing that like on the n1?

would there be any drawbacks from doing this ?
Because of no root you have to do it quiet often

worked like a charm for me, however;

hence the need for a flash build that reports itself as a desktop. The browser will report as a desktop if you do the debug trick, but flash itself is still reporting itself as an android phone.
The link I posted at the top had an apk with a custom build of flash that reports as a desktop, but I can't get it to install on my phone.

what i tried. used temp root, then got root in adb shell. rm system flash player, then cp new flash to system/app. installed hulu.apk, still same not supported error. also did the about:debug, same prob
whats wierd is after i rm flash, it still shows under manage apps. can it be installed somewhere else as well?
also how could i rm the cache of the stock player?

instead of removing flash using adb, maybe try using Titanium? Sounded like some people on other phones had success that way. I haven't messed around with temp root yet so I can't try it myself.

sure. its a little tricky, lol. read entire first post here, temp root, its been updated: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797042
as you read you only do stage 1 once (not needed if you have done temp root already)
then before you do stage 2, open titanium, it will say it doesnt have root, thats ok, exit out of it.
complete stage 2, do NOT exit term (sometimes it works if you do, most time not)
long press home to bring up recent apps. click on titanum. most likely will say no root, thats ok.
hit menu and reload titanum, boom superuser request. grant it and your in there for this session!
good luck, have fun, hope this helps...
Thanks man I'll try when I get home.

The only thing I wanted it for right now was to use Titanium Backup to restore my apps w/data from my G1.
Oh so if I made a backup from my nexus one its saved on my sd card and I can just restore from there?!

Yeah, all of the apps and the relevant settings. TB is great that way. I often used to restore between rom flashes on my G1.
Can you root evo without losing your apps/ data? I'm going to use unrevoked on my Mac. Are there any one click root apps that u can root without computer? Thanks
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Yes. Use the unrevoked method. It keeps your data and is one click. You do need a computer though.
to back up my apps (and to keep track of what I have had installed previously) I use AppBrain...
My wife allowed the 2.3.4 update to run before letting me root for her. Now, she desperately wants root, but doesn't want to lose her application data (mostly she's concerned about Angry Birds I think).
I tried the temp root for the Rezound which uses zergrush and was able to get SU access via ADB and was able to momentarily install su, busybox and SuperUser, however, TiBu had a bunch of problems. A few times is wasn't able to get su access. Others it reported no hypershell. I did get everything going once, but the batch backup died at the first application.
Has anyone found a method that allows temp root on the dinc2 2.3.4? I'm perfectly willing to do the downgrade to get s-off/unlock the phone, but the wife wants her data.
Why don't you just back up the entire sdcard? My wife was big on plantz vs zombies and a couple of other games.. I just copied the whole Sdcard.. downgraded and rooted.. replaced everything back into the Sdcard once it was rooted and all I had to do then was redownload the application. All the save data was still there..

To my knowledge, .android-secure doesn't just copy to a fresh ROM. If I can't find a way to temp root, I may have to try that though.

Thanks, I've been through that thread several times and the old method doesn't work on 2.3.4.
Bump once more in the probably vain hope that someone has been successful.
Hiya I have just rooted by super one click way but when I go into apps to either move to sd or uninstall them it's not letting me move or uninstall them has anyone had this problem after rooting, that's why I rooted in the first place, superuser apk has installed, so that is ok it's just the sd n uninstall bit I need help with. Thanks
Oh I'm on build 42 n 2.3.4 if that helps.

You need to dark tremors apps 2 SD in forums to transfer apps over to SD, also you should root your phone with revoulution or what ever It's called not the one you rooted it with

I'm not exactly sure what the problem is and even why you're not able to uninstall, but i would suggest trying the setInstallLocation trick before you try app2sd.

This is Xperia Play forums, Revolutionary is only for HTCs
To OP:
We need more info. But I'm going to assume you want to uninstall system apps. You can't do this through the normal applications menu, you'll need an ap like Titanium Backup. For a2sd you'll need to either use the pm setInstallLocation trick or use an app like DroidSail Super a2sd from the Google Play store
I rooted my Note2 and have root access, but I think I'm missing something... I reset my phone and the system apps reset themselves. On my Glacier you had to turn security off to keep it from happening, and I was wondering what needs to be done to prevent it on this device.
All I did was root, install cwm, then install Su. Does it have to do with deodexing? I'm unfimiliar with what it means and would appreciate some guidance in the right direction.

HTC devices. Do a little more reading and you'll find the difference, I find Sammy devices are a lot easier to play with compared to HTC, having owned several of both.

There is no such thing as S-on and S-off on Samsung devices as they already ship with an unlocked bootloader. If you are doing a factory reset on any phone, all of the system apps should be wiped as well, so I don't really understand your question.

Don't worry, I understand what you're talking about.
Started happening with the Galaxy S3 on T-Mobile as well since the most recent JB update
You "freeze" an app in Titanium Backup, and it freezes just fine, but after the very next reboot that app is back in action and active in the background. Very frustrating, I know.
The two apps I noticed this with were T-Mobile's My Account app and Zynga games (really??)
Here's the solution - uninstall the offending apps. That'll teach em!
Uninstalling works just fine, but for example when I install the older version of YouTube (which I prefer over the new) and restart my phone, the version it ships with is reinstalled.
Also, when I flash a zip that installs the apk into the system app folder, it gets wiped after a reboot.

I know that there were two files you had to remove to prevent reboots from reflashing stock recovery, I would imagine this is the same thing - problem is, I don't know what files to remove (I don't have the Note 2 yet so I can't go poking around to look for them)
But I am sure you can find/remove them.
This is why I stick with CM10, I can't stand the control T-Mobile and Samsung try to maintain on our devices
I can't find the info! BTW, the search function on the mobile app is not very good. Haha

there is no s-on or s-off for samsung, thats just a htc thing. you root, install cwm w/ Su and you're done.
