Good day,
Anyone know of an app that lets you select many apps and then uninstall those selected apps in one shot? I have uninstaling 1 app at a time. I have 125 apps installed and would like to get rid of some.
You can do it with eStrongs file manager, and probably plenty other apps...

Just found this app and installed it. I want to make sure that I don't "freeze" some important files. Has anyone else installed this and played around to find what works and doesn't work?
http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/bloat-freezer-root_qfjk.html
Haven't used that. I just use Titanium Backup or actually uninstall crap I don't want. TB has a freeze function and is free. But for the ultimate stream-lined-ness? CM7. The new gapps scheme only downloads what you want, not all of the google apps.
Using System Tuner instead...
Didn't try this app as I simply uninstall unwanted system apps, then I usually freeze Google Maps which keeps restarting and consuming CPU while I don't need it most of the time!
You can check the app there:
XDA
Android Market
Dev web site
Bloat Freezer enables push spam.
I just rooted my dhd and i noticed that my market account shows how installed all my old applications. Is possible to update the status of the market with the only apps actually installed?
I have the same issue. I installed some applications back when they did all the 10p apps, and some of them weren't very good. They still appear in my market as "not installed".
Not a major problem but it's just one of those small things in life that shouldn't bother me but does lol
Those app will remain there as you now own those apps as you have paid for them, i think what the OP is meaning, there are free apps that show in the market under your settings that you no longer have installed and have not had them installed for a long time but they still show in the market
uninstall the app
Open the market
Press the menu button, settings, remove search history
This only works on non paid for apps.
Only other way is to set up a new google account
Swyped
I discovered that Titanium Backup provides an interesting function. You can disassociate all your apps from market.
Hi,
I've been using CM9beta2 on my Wonder for a while.
Now my phone it's starting to get too laggy so I'm trying to free up as much RAM as possible (having around 50MB available doesn't seem enough!).
However, many apps are always running, even though I disabled everything I could in the settings.
For example, google maps keeps regularly eating 5-10MB RAM, sometimes google Play too, etc...
Is there a way to keep apps out of RAM?
How do you do it?
The only solution I find otherwise, is to get the apk, and install apps when you need them, then uninstall them immediately...

5. Download and Install Use Auto Killer Memory Optimizer Pro 7 (Here it is), when install pick a preset 'Extreme' or 'Ultimate' depend on your games requirement. Your Ram will always free and it will kill automatically un-use apps

Thanks, but... wouldn't Auto Killer Memory use more battery (or RAM) than having the apps running?
I mean, having smth that checks every few minutes running apps and that closes them... then they reopen again, and the Auto Killer closes them again, and so on... doesn't seem the best solution!
Am I wrong?
Tx.

It really depend , but I try it and actually getting better result .
With CM9 rom there is a way to disable the apps that you don't need , just go to setting menu, chose manage apps, click the apps that you don't use , and click disable . But you have to make sure the apps that you disable WILL NOT effect other apps that in use . :silly:
Hi...there are two ways to do what you want to do....
The first is as you say to delete and re install the apps as you need them.....
The other way is to NOT delete them, but to FREEZE them. (This is the better option, and the option that I use) there are several apps that will do this, titanium backup (paid app) and Gemini app manager (free) to name two.
I use Gemini and it does EXACTLY what you are asking. You have to be rooted in order to use either of the apps I mentioned....but if you're using a custom rom, I guess you already are. Both apps are available in the Play Store, and there's an online tutorial on how to use Gemini....just Google it.......
Hit thanks if this helped
CM9....I don't have to...I just......can
I have seen a couple root apps posted that are good to have, I have a few apps that I have installed on every phone that make life a whole lot easier for root functions. I have no ties to any of these developers, and I have not created any of these apps. I just want to share some apps that I find are useful.
SD Maid, by Darken: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.sdm
This app is great, This is my favorite root app. The feature list is jam packed with things it can do to help you change your Rom to better suite what you want. It makes clearing out corpses of removed apps (system or not) clearing your cache, and it even allowes you to uninstall or freeze system apps, you can even delete an app but leave its data in case you want to reinstall it later without having to reset up everything. You can toggle auto starts, look for duplicate files, and check your system info. it is a free app, with a paid unlocker for the pro features, and it is totally worth it to unlock the pro features.
CSC Feature Expert for Samsung, by Wanam: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.cscexpert
This app is great for modifying hidden features that carries change within the stock Sammy rom such as removing that annoying wifi notification in the drop down menu (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/quick-guide-enabling-hidden-features-t3087506 for some great ideas)
SQLite Editor, by speed software: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor
This app allows you to edit the SQL for some great mods and tweaks like removing the brightness slider bar in the drop down menu (http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6/general/tweak-remove-brightness-slider-t3088329)
GSam Battery Monitor, by Gsam Labs: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm
This app has a companion app for root users that makes it a system app with all the permissions needed to keep a close eye on battery usage. Tells you how long your average usage is for each app and the longer you have it installed the better it gets at telling you what is going on.
ROM Toolbox, by JRummy:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox
This app is a combination of like 8 apps that JRummy has created rolled into one easy to use package, for about 80% less than buying them separately. Most of the features of this app are not very useful for our phones, I think it is more leaning towards CM based ROMS but it still has a few features that we can use like a great file explorer, a easy to use app manager, a build.prop editor, task manager, Terminal emulator, and a DNS shanger.
Thats my list of must have root apps, what are some root apps you guys are using? I am sure there is an app out there I have not seen that would end up on my list, so reply with your favorite apps for root! :highfive:
greenify

greenify, by Oasis Feng:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
Great for shutting down apps that like to run in the background. Great thing for the S6 is you can set the home button to greenify and lock the screen by holding the home button for 2 seconds.
titanium backup, by Titanium Track:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
I personally dont like titanium back up. and SD Maid does everything Titanium back up does and more all in one app for less money.
flashfire, by Chainfire: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.flash
This is a new app for me, I have started using it for flashing on my S6 Edge, but never used it before that. It is a great app, and a necessity for us s6 users with locked bootloaders.
better battery stats, by Sven Knipsel: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats
No free or trial version so I have never tried the app. It looks like a useful app, but no better than the Gsam, and gsam is free.
adaway, by sufficientlysecure: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934553157
Adaway is a necessity for all root users! it does what it says and makes the ads go away. I didnt include it in my origional post because I was going to stick with Play store apps but it is more than worth of the list.
To add another useful app, is another app store, fdroid. https://f-droid.org/
Fdroid offers some apps that the play store wont allow such as adawy. I have never had or heard of any malware issues using Fdroid, but I dont see alot of people talking about it around here.

I tried uninstalling certain system apps via Titanium Backup such as Play Movies & TV but to my horror, PlayStore reinstalled them immediately.
It's not a huge deal but I dislike seeing apps on my app drawer that I will never use. Alternatively, I could freeze it but I rather free up the space.
Has anyone had any luck in permanently uninstalling system apps?

You could try using your root explorer type app and delete the apk. Should be gone after a reboot.

I always use solid explorer to do that. Works every time
I have the same problem. Have you guys been able to use a file explorer to do it? Root Explorer just says that the delete fails and Solid just hangs during the delete process. Anyone figure this out?
