Does anybody know what the apk for photobucket is called? I cant find it under system/app
I just rooted my G2 yesterday and got rid of all the useless apps that Tmobile included in the stock ROM. If you are rooted, just use Titanium Backup to delete the apps you don't want. You will see a list of all the apps on your phone under the backup/restore section of Titanium, click on the app and touch un-install and its gone. Couldn't be easier, however you do need to be rooted.

Yep..
I don't use Titanium Backup, no reason I just seen it installed when I installed a rom, than I deleted it because I didn't think I would need it, Rom Manager allows me to do back-ups, and I use Root Uninstaller app to delete my stock apps.
I don't deny Titanium Backup is good, I just never used it. I may check it out later though. Root Uninstaller allows you to backup your apps, but you have to pay to restore them with the full version, and I bet Titanium Backup allows you to do it for free, but whatever?

Rooting is the same procedure, just make sure you have the latest version of Superuser as a flashable zip. I think there is a thread floating around somewhere to see what bloatware you can/cannot delete.
You can download 'root uninstaller' from app market and it would back up all the apps for you. If you accidentally delete any app you don't suppose to, you would have a backup. Also it highlights some system apps RED that you might don't want to delete.
Hello All I recently updates my Galaxy S2 to ICS, but the email client that comes with touch wiz is very bad. Anyone know where I can download the Stock ICS email client that will work on a non-rooted phone?
I believe you need to be rooted to uninstall the stock email cliend and install the ICS version.
I also had troubles with the stock client but after I found the ICS version everything is fine ... except that its not themed to the S2 way but is white as the gmail client. Do a search here.
Good luck

Thanks for the information, just rooted my phone with Siyahkernel, do you know where i can get the stock email client and instructions on how to install and back up the samsung one?
Put those two files in system/app with any root explorer (like Root Explorer -the free version will do). restart the phone, should it work -hit thank you -will be my first
Dont remember who to credit for the files myself, got them some time ago.

Thanks For the files, I have copied them to system /app and it asks me to overwrite it, but after reboot and when I go back to check it is still the old email app, any hints or tips would help, thanks.
K, what I can do is post backups of the mail app from my titanium backup. You have to get the app, and put the file in titanium folder, then restore the app as if you had backed it up yourself.
The galaxy is home, and i,m not now, so it,ll be a few hours. K

Thanks for the help, I was able to finally copy it to the system folder, was an option that needed to checked in the file manager. Now every time I try to open email it crashes and the phone takes a long time to boot, had to go back the Samsung app. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
ok, try this -I got a titanium backup of Email 4.0 as it's called on ICS gallaxy s2.
It's backed up just before uninstall right after a new ICS flash -should be good.
1. If you don't have it yet, get titanium backup free from market.
2. In titanium backup uninstall your email app -dont back up (or back up, and then remove from titanium backup folder).
3. Put the 4 attached files in titanium backup folder
4. In titanium, restore the email app
5. See what happenes
Visit the Wanamlite site. Wanam posted a flashable zip of the stock email client that seems to work with any stock deodexed and rooted ROM (it worked on my stock deodexed DXLP7 and DXLPQ).
Be careful, though. After doing this, I noticed that if you try installing themes like Vertumus', the theme doesn't take properly and while you won't get boot loops, you'll have multiple FC issues afterwards.
I haven't looked but I have an inkling that the framework that Vertumus modifies is the stock sammy email client and not the Google one and so when you install his theme it tries to modify the Google client (since it's replaced the stock sammy one) and that's what's causing the issues.
Well, would,n it be more sensible first to try the titanium backups or the original, freshly installed, not tampered with app?

It conflicts with the stock app without any tweaks.
deleted the stock app accidentally without backup
Hi there, I accidentally deleted the stock app before taking a backup to titanium and now Im not able to install the files available for download in this thread. I'm in a deadlock now - not able to install and lost the stock app also. please help
I always remove apps from roms i dont use with estrongs. It makes a backup of the app that you remove. I have always been able to copy the backup and paste it back to system/app if i needed it back. Well lately on jb lj7 that has not been working. Is tb a better solution or is there a step in the process i am missing?
I use TB to freeze my system apks, rather than uninstall them. If I want/need them at a later time I just unfreeze.

I've found ROM toolbox to be very useful. Even better than TB in my opinion. You have to buy the pro version to freeze apps but it will be the one app you can't live without

Is there a list of safe stock bloatware apps that can be removed from stock GB27?
I used Sdx Stock App Removal to remove the bloatware that I could match with the corresponding .apk file and those listed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35744929&postcount=2
However, there is still more bloatware that I can not find the corresponding .apk for removal. Is there a list of stock apps that are safe to be removed?
PS: The .apk files seem to be named differently in GB27 for the same bloatware app when compared to previous android versions...
Try this one version 2.4
I know there is a list somewhere of some other things you can remove too.
Titanium Pro comes in handy here too.

That one is essentially the same list. The app I have allows me to remove these stock apps easily so I don't need to use TP. Still...there are some apps left over of which I can't find the corresponding .apk files to remove. Maybe if there were a way to find out the .apk filename associated with apps installed.

Download romtoolbox. Go to app manager. Long click an app. Click show more in the next window. It will show you the apk path / data directory

I've been using SystemCleanup for a while and love it. Provides a description of a lot of the apps and whether they're safe to remove or not (one notable exception I would NOT remove is the stock galley). You can also freeze apps or convert user apps to /system and even odex them.
