Replacing deleted apps in cm9

Hi all....I'm running cm9 on my W....really happy with it. I also have Gemini App Manager which allows me to freeze and uninstall (some?) Apps. If I were to uninstall something that I later found that I needed, am I right in thinking that by 'reflashing' the cm9 zip (which is still on my phone) I'd get the apps back.....in other words re installing cm9 would be like doing an emergency recovery to stock via kies....except it's recovering the cm9 instead of stock?......I think I'm already pretty sure of the answer....but I just wanted to check with the experienced before I started culling my apps.....
With regards to Gemini....will it delete the packaged user apps that came with cm9 (apps like maps/street view/latitude, default browser and video maker)? Or just the user installed apps? And are there any user apps that I REALLY shouldn't uninstall? And are there any SYSTEM apps that the W doesn't need and are safe to delete?

Got my S3, have some questions

alright, so my S3 is stock Rooted. Which means I have a stock ROM (LG8) and I rooted using ODIN. Basically i wanted to remove the Bloat crap that's on it so I don't keep having to run the task manager every hour to kill 56 applications that I didn't even run. So what I'm looking for is a stock ROM with ROOT that has absolutely zero bloatware. Does anyone know of one? I downloaded and flashed JellyBomb and my S3 hated it. FC, multiple installs of the apps, youtube crashed every 2 minutes and I didn't even load it.
My stock phone has recently started to lock up and FC on touchwiz now. So does anyone know how to remove the crap that I do not use? I use, Text, Voice, Chrome browser, Facebook, and the play store for games for my son. No dropbox or TALK or flipbook or any of that other useless ****. Hell I don't even use widgets as they just take up real estate on my homescreen. On my OG EVO, i just renamed the .APK in the app folder and restarted. That didn't work on this phone.
I also didn't realize I had to do some stuff with Google Wallet before flashing, when I loaded my Nandroid, my Google wallet had none of my info in it at all.

I would try team sonics freegs3. Its still a TW based ROM but during install you can choose what apps to install and the battery life is great. Another option is a cm ROM. Those are aosp so no bloat ware. As far as the Google wallet goes you are suppose to reset g wallet before you flash other wise it might be permanently damaged. I may be wrong on that subject though. That is just what I hear since I don't use it.
Good luck and make sure if you do flash wipe dalvik cache, regular cache, and factory reset.

Try out FreeGS3, it's one of the most stable and great battery life. It has Aroma installer that'll guide you through the ROM installation and from there you choose which bloat apps you want installed if any. The dev also move some apps from to /system/apps, or something, that makes them uninstalable from Application Manager.
Before you install FreeGS3 you need to flash TWRP, download GooManager from the market, grant it SU and tap menu then "Install OpenRecoveryScript". Let it do it's thing... you can uninstall the app afterwards.
If there are other app you don't want or need that are included you can use Titanium Backup, found in Play Store, to uninstall the apps. Do not uninstall those apps that are highlighted in red, except Kies that can go, since these are system app and can cause problems with the phone.
Also, killing apps in task manager is not necessary since ICS (and GB as well) kill those apps that are idle or not being used to save on RAM. you could be doing more harm to the battery life than well, I never kill an app or "free memory" and all good with an average of 18hrs of battery.
Read these this write up by former member Flipz, it'll give a more insight on task management in linux and android.
Why you shouldn't be using a task killer

Thanks guys!
I'm at work now and don't have the time to do this right now but I'm downloading the ROM, and already have flashed TWRP. I will mess around with it tonight and see what I can do.

Good suggestions in the previous replies.....also might keep in mind that if for some reason you can't find a custom rom you like could always just go back to stock rooted and use Titanium or Rom Toolbox to freeze or remove any bloatware you don't want that may be taking up resources. Always good to freeze something first before removing just to make sure everything works the way you want. I usually make a backup of all apps after rooting a phone just so I can restore it later if ever need to.
Also, if you look around on the forum I believe there is a way to try and restore Google Wallet that has been successful for peeps that did the same as you.

after iestspel
there are plenty of TW roms our there, also. freezing via titanium like posted above should do the trick too!

[Q] A few bloatware questions

Using an app called Root app delete, I see that apps are divied into user apps and sytem apps. All of the bloatware I would like to remove is listed in user apps.
I assume any app in user apps is safe to remove (I have disabled them for a few days to be sure) - is this a safe assumption?
Also I learned that removing bloatware equals modding the ROM and that in principle you must restore them to recieve OTAs, but would this also be true if these apps are user apps and not system apps?
Thanks

User apps are generally safe to remove. If you want to recieve OTAs, you would have to restore it to the state it was when you recieved it.

Rooted: Managing users apps from main owner's account?

I've rooted my Tab S 8.5 and have installed SU, Root Explorer and Titanium Pro. I was able to easily freeze and remove a bunch of the samsung garbage that came stock but I'm not sure where to find the apps for ALL users. Is there a way for my admin account to dive into the root for the entire OS and remove/freeze apps and processes? I'm a little rusty around here. I haven't rooted since my Droid Incredible.
Also, I installed SU on both users, so that should keep the other user from root access. I'm hoping to avoid buying another copy of Titanium for the other user. Am I able to simply copy it from my user data to the other?

Why don't you just use system app remover, it's free.

You mean the built-in android app remover? Even though it's rooted, it won't remove apps that were baked into the stock ROM. Only gives me the option to uninstall updates like it did stock.

Secure Uninstall Bloatware on Android 6 (HTC One M8)

Hello Folks!
After Rooting my HTC One M8 with Android 6 Marshmallow i want to Delete the Bloatware with Titanium Backup. The "Uninstall" Button doesnt Work, i can delete the Bloatware Apps but when i Restart the Phone the Bloatware Apps are back
But TB have a Delete Force Option (over Security Hole in the System) but can anyone tell me which Bloatware Apps can be Deleted without the Risk of a Brick or unstable System?
And are the Bloatware Apps and all there files complete Deleted after this wipe?
I want to Uninstall the following Bloatware Apps:
Stocks, Facebook, Skype, Twitter, Fun Fit, Google News & Weather, Google News, Peel Remote, News Republic, Zoe Video Editor, Kid Mode
Hope someone can Help me.
Thanks!

Use a root explorer like Solid Explorer. Just search in Play Store. Navigate to /system/app and /system/priv-app to delete your bloat-apps.
Alternative you can use your recovery to delete bloatware. Recommend is TWRP
You can safely remove all the apps you listed in your post. There is no risk.
Hope this helps you

This is due to secure kernel on the M8. You can either search for, and install insecure kernel mod, or flash a custom kernel. Or use one of the methods mentioned in the previous response (TWRP, some other root apps).
If you have any doubts/uncertainly about deleting the bloat apps; you can test by freezing the app(s) in Titanium. Then use the phone for a while with the app(s) frozen). If no ill effects are observed, it is probably safe to delete the bloat app(s).
