Hey guys.
Picked up a XP from Verizon yesterday, rooted it, and I'm getting things set up for myself now. My question is this: what's the best app for removing system/stock apps that can also easily restore them if desired? I used SDX Stock App Remover on my Epic 4g, but I know better than to dive in with a new device without investigating first.
I know TB can remove stock apps, but in my past experience, it can't always restore them, which I'd like the option to do in case I want to play Bruce Lee's Flying Circus again for some crazy reason.
Thanks in advance guys
If you backup the system app, TB can restore it too. Works perfectly if you're using the same rom that you backed them up from
You! Your the best system app remover. just use a root enabled file manager. After you delete an app from /system/ remeber to wipe the dalvik cache, this will remove unwanted .dex files.

How did you backup your ROM? If you used recovery then you're up a creek without a paddle.
Titanium backup and start over. Best advice
Sent from the future of a long time ago.
I did back up in recovery. I ended up using my backup. Titanium wouldn't work. Then reopened the file with my back up root. Thanks for all the help guys. Just a newb learning the ropes.

The only app I back up is angry birds n that's just data backup. What apps do u really need to back up vs just reinstalling? I don't really see the point in backing up anything other than a game save

Your stock rom probably isn't rooted.
Restore the nandroid backup, then flash Superuser through recovery. You can find the file here: http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
You may need to install Busybox for Titanium Backup to work, but I think the developer removed the need for it. You can use a Busybox Installer from the market to install it if you need it.
Don't restore system apps or data when you restore on CM7.

If you plan to stay on same ROM. If not you don't need to a it will cause conflict
Got a Headache? It's all in your Head.
I used Titanium Backup before I switched to CM7 (note, CM7 had no market for me at first, I had to install it manually from here[url].)
Currently restoring all apps and system data. I backed up everything. Hope it works
I've used several different roms since I got my defy last February and I'm so glad I have Titanium Backup. I would recommend it to anyone that is looking for a backup solution on their android phone.
Thanks for the replys im going to put cm rom on but my question was in titanium app do I need to back up all the system Apps and my game Apps before I put c.m rom on. I would of thought that I wouldn't need all the motorola system when im putting cm on.

Hi,
I have loaded OsiMood onto my phone...
Now, when I try and go to Titanium Backup to restore thigns such as
Buddies Now
Calculator
Clock
Digital Clock
Home screen tips
And click restore it takes forever. Is this the ROM preventing me?

Just curious, did you allow root when you first launched Titanium Backup? You might try removing it and installing again.

Force Close titanium Backup (tap and hold home touch key, task manager, active tab, Exit TB), then restart back up. This may NOT work, for TB only preserves "Data" of those system apps (not apk).
Word of caution: You are restoring "system apps" which is quite delicate...I suggest not restoring any system apps, i know it would be a pain for others, like me, who uses some bloat apps...but just to be safe. Talking from experience and from strong warnings upon flashing different ROMs.

YES, didn't even notice that. I usually say never restore System apps or system data with Tibu. It's great for 3rd party apps and data, but more often times it will end up giving you many FC's and leaving you with a generally unstable phone.
hello i have been using this rom,
freeze a app you would like then wait about 10 sec push the home key then restart the phone even tho TB doesnt stop deleting the app it has actually done it i think its a bug in this rom, when the phone powers on you will notice the app is gone, same steps for restoring if the app is big id wait longer before restarting.

requires some work...you can unpack those system apps from the stock rom and push it to /system/app....
not guaranteed to work, you might end up reflashing....do it on your risk....
Is osimood applied over the rogers rom or replace?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927R using XDA App
It should replace the existing ROM, sort of. When going from a stock ROM to custom I always do a wipe data/factory reset in CWM. Then when you flash the new ROM, it's basically replacing the stock ROM. I said sort of, because sometime if you don't wipe the data, when you flash the new ROM some of your old data may still be lingering around. Most of the time you will know this because it force closes (FC's) like crazy, kind of like restoring system data with Titanium Backup (tibu).
Once you are on a custom ROM, you can usually flash any new versions without wiping data, and in return all your settings/apps/data is still there after the flash. I usually do this unless the Dev says to do a wipe in the instructions.
Lots of questions..
Do I restore cwm or tibu? Are they the same?
When I wipe can I also do it from settings?

CWM or Clockwork Mod is a recovery platform that is loaded before the Android OS comes up if you press the correct keys. It's used to flash custom ROMS, do a full system backup, wiping and recovery, and some other fun things.
Tibu is designed to backup and restore almost anything in the Android OS itself, ie, apps, settings, and also other fun things like freezing, uninstalling, etc. I say "designed to" because I've never seen Tibu successfully restore system data or apps. The only things I use Tibu for are backing up and restoring of User apps and data, this is helpful when flashing. From a clean install I can usually be back to normal in about 10 minutes using Tibu and then manually entering my google account info, wireless info, ringtones, etc.
You have the ability to wipe from the settings menu, but when flashing new roms it's better to do it from CWM as this wipes your data and cache. Some Devs recommend to wipe the Dalvik Cache also, which can only be done in CWM.
Hope that helps.
I uninstall it and now when i want to reinstall it it told me i'm out of space but i have 5gb left and i can install all other apps from play store i am rooted and i have clear cache using clear master i clear all of it and try agin but it steel told me i'm out of space is there any chance to get it back?
(Sorry for bad eanglish)

Thx for helping i have try all backup apps from store and i find ultimate backup that allow me to backup system UI and touchWiz home the best help you can get it is from yourself
Multiple posts don't help at all...
Backing up system data can be dangerous when you'll restore.
There are many apps that backup user data as Helium, App Backup & Restore, MyBackup... You can also use a PC software.
You are the first one who respond the
Now it doesn't matter because I have flashed a custom rom and it's work great
And sorry for multi posting but no one was there to respond
I'm not sure this is the right thread... but....
Right now I am using a note 2.... Over time it's gotten choppy, slow, non responsive and force closing apps. I rooted it to try to get rid of what people call Bloat Ware but I don't know how. Can anyone help me figure out how to delete some Bloat ware?

I would say you have two options.
Root device, install custom Rom.
Or
Root device install titanium backup, or similar software and uninstall or freeze apps which might be bloat.
Sometimes a factory reset does the trick, but you need to back up your data.

I already have superuser. And I think titanium. All I do is go in titanium and stop what seems like bloat?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Yup, but it may be more than that. I suggest backup data, apps that you want to keep, freeze unnecessary apps, then do factory reset. If you have cwm or twrp just do a backup in case

Good advice given above: nandroid backup, use TiBU to freeze apps and use your phone for a few days, then delete frozen apps.
Why freeze then try for a few days? Because sometimes apps are intertwined with the system, and deleting them can bring down your system.
This thread may be a bit out of date and for a different carrier, but it will give you an idea of where to start with freezing applications via Titanium Backup or something similar: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2025134
I definitely recommend backing up your important data before going on a freezing frenzy. There is a lot which can be frozen, though.
If you are rooted, make sure you have a custom recovery like cwm or twrp. Clear cache and dalvik cache in recovery and reboot. That may help with the laginess of your phone.
