Im rooted, with root explorer, but i totally forgot where all the crap apps are located so i can get them deleted.
Also, is there a list of apps that others have deleted? Otherwise i will probably make one for the forum.

I rooted via unrevoked. I'd like to remove almost all of the native apps that can with my EVO. Footprints, peeps, etc...
I plan on rooting via Toast and Flashing DC3.0 next week but want to remove native apps to see if it helps with conserving the battery and increasing speed.
Are there any native apps I shouldn't remove? Ive read conflicking reports about removing GTalk.
Thanks in advanced.
It will say it deletes them, but it doesn't actually. They'll be there on reboot. If you do full root aka nand unlock, it may be able to delete them, but I haven't tried it out myself.
Best of luck with the root. It's a good decision in my opinion.
You're going to need to use toast's root+nand unlock. I can uninstall system apps with titanium backup just fine.
so if i just uninstall an app with titanium and refresh the apps go away...but do they really? i rebooted and didnt see them anymore but read that they are still there. well i would like to get rid of about half the apps that are on the kings r3 blakk rom and i think titanium is the only way to do it. should i delete in astro?
Once you uninstall them in Titanium Backup, they are gone for good. You'll notice TB shows the internal memory you freed up by deleting them.

i would only freeze them with titanium, the free memory isnt really that much and your phone completely ignores them after you freeze them, so they never run in your system, and you can always put them back to work for what ever reason if you ever need too
I'm trying to find the directory for the non system apps and its driving me crazy, its easy to find the system apps though lol.
/data/app

wow... thank you feel a little stupid after realizing how stupid the solution to my question was, but yes, thank you.

Dude - are you sure you should be removing apps if you don't know what to be removing them with. No disrespect, just saying.
Anyway, if you want to remove apps, I assume you aren't talking about just any old app ??? Because of course, you can just uninstall apps within Settings, Applications, Manage Applications on vanilla Android.
If you want to remove system apps and stuff that can't be removed in Settings, Apps, ..., then you need something like Titanium Backup (I'm sure thats what most would recommend). Again, if you didn't know this already, I would recommend reading up on it. It needs you to be rooted, which isn't a problem if you read the threads on here. It also needs some know-how about what is safe to remove (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089470).
If you just need to get rid of bloatware, you could flash a cleaner firmware that doesn't have lots of useless apps (I'm thinking of all the apps included in the France Orange firmware).
I hope this helps.
I usually just use Titanium and just delete the whole thing if I'm sure I don't want to use the app at all. I was wondering what was the general consensus for getting rid of unwanted SYSTEM APPS on a root phone?
anyone have anything?
I just freeze all of the system apps I don't want. At least with freezing, if what you did ****ed something up, all you have to do is unfreeze the app. If it's already been uninstalled and deleted, you're screwed, and you will probably end up needing to flash a new ROM.
Hello, I hope everyone is doing great.
I'm currently running latest stock android 10 on my G960F D/S.
I am trying to uninstall bloat apps like Excel/OneDrive/Maps, usually I use SD Maid or FX explorer with root of course, and I navigate to system/priv-app or system/app and delete the undesired apk. However, every single time I delete Excel for example, the app would reappear after rebooting.
What is the definitive way to get rid of this bloatware permanently?
Thank You for reading.
It never happen to me before, but maybe you can try using ADB. Like this
I believe it won't fully remove the apps, but it's almost like uninstalling the apps.
Maybe somebody correct me if I'm wrong

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Looks like after multiple reboots the apps got uninstalled, weird bug I'm not sure.
Thanks for offering help though.
[SOLVED]
Probably was missing busy box. Or didn't have the system rw
