So I am running a custom ICS rom on my epic touch but it comes preloaded with Nova Launcher which I don't like, I keep getting update notifications for this and its annoying since I'm using Apex Launcher. How do I uninstall this permanently?

If it doesn't show up in your application listing then you will have to use a program like titanium backup (free from the play store) to uninstall it.
Just back it up first in titanium backup first just in case.

I have Titanium Pro, how would I uninstall it though?
If it's like TB (basic) just find the launcher on the list, short tap and tap "Uninstall".
(Long tap will give separate options that you don't need for uninstall.)
*Edit*
I apologize if this sounds like I'm patronizing - I made this mistake when I first used TB.
Since then I have found that I'm not the only one that tried the long tap first.

Another way to get rid of all junk (at least for me and other many people) apps is using Calkulin's Bare Rom converter in here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535776
Download it and run it from CWM recovery. Nova launcher is one of the apps included in his tool.
This worked!!!

Or another option is to navigate to the system/app folder and just delete the offending apk file.

I was wondering if I could move all of my apps into a zip folder and install them I have a feeling my have tried this in the past and it failed. Is this even possible? If so is there something special I have to do? I really hate having to manually install apps, through titanium backup when ever I wipe my phone.

if you use the Titanium Backup Donate verision. It installs them for you at once. You dont have to manually install each app.
+1 on titanium backup. The donate version is worth the money.

+1 more on titanium paid version. Also, if you really want a flashable zip of your apps titanium has an option to create one!

Well after struggling trying to understand flashing roms and what not I found the easy way..rom manager app from the market place...they do have a free version witch you do have to install regardless if your buying the premium..witch I did buy it to for support..after I perm rooted my phone I downloaded rom manager..clicked on the very first on to flash clockworkmod recovery..went down to back up current rom I named..went back into rom manager clicked download rom clicked the first one than bacon bits..to get bacon bit and overclock my phone to 1497mhz..its gonna ask you if you want to back up current rom I did not checked the box cuz I had already done it, than it gives you another box to clear the cache..witch I did check the box..let it do its thing took another 5 min..after it rebooted I was all done..but I did have to download all my apps again..unless if your google backup just downloads them for you..and now I just finished flashing the htc sense on my g2..everything work really nice..and the cool part is that all you have to do is go into your rom manager app..click on manage and restore back ups and you could just switch on whatever rom you want..if I want to be running froyo ot htc sense..one click away..really nice

That's awesome but u are preaching to the choir. Well some of us. I'm thinking about buying the paid version. I think it lets u download rom updates. U should check out titianium backup. One click restores apps and app data. I have the paid version one click restore.

Lol..na wasnt preaching...but thanx I'm gonna download titanium back up..its just I'm a new to flashing roms and stuff and this is easy for me

IT should be stated that Apps ONLY should be installed from one rom to a DIFFERENT rom.
DATA is highly NOT recommended to be copied over.
Data transfer is the reason most roms dont run properly after being installed.
Using appbrain is the way to go, IMHO
buy the full verson it is worth every penny ive had since my g1 but it keep unrooting my g1 for some reason so used amon ra recovery but if you r on a g2 now the full version is a must have!
I'm trying to find the apk for the XDA Premium app so I can add some things to my CM10 theme, but the app is not installed in data/app. I have searched my sdcard and cannot find the apk anywhere. Any one know where it is installed to?
Using Titanium backup, when I long press on the XDA app, I see the option "Move to Internal." Every other app has "Move to SD Card." What is up with this?
/data/app
com.quoord.tapatalkxda.activity-1.apk
edit: paid installs to /data/app-asec but is not an apk.

Is this behavior new to Jelly Bean? I can backup with Ti Backup and get the apk from there I guess...

I'm not sure, the app-asec folder is for encrypted apps, so I think it's the app that determines whether it goes there, or just data/app.
I do recall seeing a thread in GN themes and apps about how to theme the paid version FWIW.

yes it is. paid apps go there now.
Must be new behavior. because it has always installed to /data/app for me. I think its a feature google implemented i noticed that in the options it gives you when uploading apps to the play store is "make app more secure" -"Make apps harder to steal" or something similar... so the developers must have checked that feature. Which sucks cause now i cant theme it

Click the green check mark
When its done, reboot.
Your done and it always works.

I always hate when Google restores contacts. The pictures look like crap. If you use large pics for contacts and want to keep them looking great on the screen. Set all contacts as you like. Do a nandroid. This way you will always have it. When I fash a ROM, before I reboot, I mount the system, go to advance/file manager. Navigate to system/app, delete the Google contact sync apk. You can also freeze the google sync in tbu, if you dont want to delete it. This will stop Google from screwing with the pics. Then just reboot. I do this and don't really care that gmail doesn't have my contacts. There are other ways to do that. As long as you know what your doing in that file manager, you can delete all kinds of not needed crap. I myself delete all the ringtones before rebooting after flashing.
You most mount the system to get into the system stuff.
I also restore my contacts this way.
Follow the same steps as above except
Check the "contact storage" box
Click "data only"
Clicking app and data may cause a contact fc if going from different ROMs
Click the green check
Reboot when its done
If you choose to not delete the Google sync. Freeze it in tbu. Delete all contacts and do steps above in tbu.
Again make sure you have a good nandroid first.

Hey I know this is probably a repeat thread but im having trouble finding an answer. This would help me tremendously.
I install a ROM, it already has TB installed. Its not Pro. I purchased pro and want to install.
When try to install I get an error saying signature already exists. I dont see a way to uninstall because it was
Built into the Rom. Please let me know how to remove. Also is the removable process the same on each android version (ics, jb etc.)
Thanks for your help!
Use a root explorer mount the system as write and delete the app. Look in /system/app/

I posted a titanium removal zip. I know there are quite a few of people who don't use it.
Plus I can't put pro version in a ROM, because you have to pay for it.

And for some reason it doesn't work but, it should.
use ES file explorer or root explorer (make sure system is read and write R/W)
go to system/app and delete com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup-1.apk
and reboot.

you have to reboot for the changes to take place. I had this same issue before, if you use titanium backup to freeze itself and destroy market link (destroy the market link first) then uninstall with root explorer you shouldn't have anymore issues. All you'll need to do is download from market after a reboot and it should recognize the pro key
