Can i delete all the facebook bloatware and app of the system files and download a fresh facebook from the market so it install as a new app and installs on the app memory instead of the system files?
will this work or cause errors?
You can do this but as a result you obviously wont have facebook integrated into the system.
thanks, i will do this i dont, want it integrated in the system

Hi,
I've just rooted my wife's Desire, and I'd like to uninstall some system apps using Titanium Backup to free up some internal space for app installation. What can I uninstall that I'm not using and won't affect the phone?
Things I don't use in the list that I'd like to uninstall if possible:
Stocks
CN Thai Keyboard
Flickr
Plurk
Friend Stream
News
News and Weather
Peep
Teeter
Twitter
Also, I tried uninstalling flickr/stocks/twitter/peep/plurk/news/teeter after backing them up, but it didn't free up any space on the phone at all...I'm still getting low memory warnings. What's up with that?
Thanks.

Uninstalling system apps will not increase the disk space available for you to install apps. This is because the phone has two major partitions, the data partition at 148mb, and the system partition at 250mb. User installed apps can only be installed on the data partition while system apps are installed on the system partition. So when you uninstall a system app, you are actually only freeing up space in the system partition instead of the data partition and you cannot use the system partition to install apps. Thus, you do not get any additional space and will still have the low memory warning.

Hi,
how can i prevent, that Google Play Downloads all my 200 Apps in my clean new Rom installation...
i have all the time speed issues,
and now i wanna tray, only install needed apps...
but every time i install clean rom,
add my google account, and go into Playstore, the Download starts...
You should have put this under Q&A
after setup google account, I turn off wifi, data to prevent auto download applications form play store and using titanium backup to restore my applications
but this is no Solution...
i also use Titanium Backup,
if i restore 15 apps...
and than i visit the first time Google Play Store,
the other 185 apps starts to downoad...
is there a setting, in Titanium Backup, to prevent Playstore to start the downloads...
Maybe change any ID, that google Play store means, i have an new Mobile
Just deselect the "Restore" option in the "Backup and Restore" page of the Welcome Wizard.
I think that deselecting the Restore won't get you anywhere...
What I've found is that the phone automatically downloads different apps for the sense ROMs and different for non-sense. Since sense has different storage locations than other ROMs I'm sure that data telling the playstore what to download is on the phone and I it should be on the SD card since it's still there after a full wipe. Now all we have to do is find the directory where that data is stored and delete it before we flash a new ROM.
A ROM dev would surely know where this directory is, but I'll try to find it...
If someone knows, do tell us
Play Store downloads the same apps for any ROM, sense or not. There's no difference. And the downloaded apps are stored in the same directory in all Android ROMs which is /data/app. Just not selecting the 'restore from this Google account' option during initial should be enough. Even if Play Store setup starts downloading apps, force stop it and then put back all your apps using Titanium Backup or something like that.

Also there is a option in Titanium backup to detach user & system apps from the Market. I think that after you force stop the market you should do this and solve your problem
Usually when that happens to me, I go to the My Apps page in the market and just press the Stop All button.

The stop button doesn't like to show while downloading 100+ apps
It looks like all the contacts app depend on some system contact app that I seem to have uninstalled. When I try to add contact in viber or some third party contact app I get errors like: Cannot get data from Contacts database, contact LGE for fixed firmware. Is there any way I can fix this without reinstalling the stock rom ?
Of course they do....all contacts apps read out Android contacts as well as all calendar apps read out the Android calendar.
Why did you delete it?
Anyway, no idea, what to do....maybe reflash a ROM....?
I fixed it quite easily without re-flashing. If anyone else is having the same problem just download the Stock rom ZIP, get the APK files you need( Contacts.apk and ContactsProviced.apk and .odex files ) and copy them to your /system/priv-app. You will need root of course. I tried also to install them as DATA apps but that didn't work and caused crashes, you need to reinstal them as System apps.
Just as a heads up, you should only need the ContactsProvider apk and odex, this is the apk that takes care all of your contacts, (meaning you could in theory delete just the contacts APK and odex, which should allow your replacement contacts apps to function)
So, there were some updates to system apps on my G4 (H815T-HKG), and I decided to integrate them into the system ROM.
One of them was Android System Webview, which a bunch of other programs depend on. But then I later discovered that the version I had integrated was causing a bunch of apps to crash (including text apps).
So then I uninstalled it and installed a version that works from here. However, it only works as a user app.
If I try to move the folder from /data/app/ to /system/app/ and change the permissions to 755 and reboot, it doesn't appear in the list of installed programs, and programs that rely on it crash.
I tried converting it to a system app with Titanium Backup too, but it just seems to get stuck and I have to manually stop Titanium Backup, then reinstall Android System Webview again.
Well, I decided to mount the rooted system image on a linux machine and copy the original WebViewGoogle folder from it to the /system/app folder on my G4, and it works - although it's not an up-to-date version (43.0.2357.121), it at least means there's A version which will be there if I need to delete the user data.
Found a question that's interesting for me as well, but no answer...
Is there any way to remove those apps being stock without root? (If not, how to remove them with root?)
Also unneeded apps:
*Google
[Slides]
[Sheets]
[Docs]
[Exchange Services]
[Play Movies]
[Play Music]
[Hangouts]
[Keep]
*Social
[Facebook]
[Messenger]
[Instagram]
[News Republic]
*HTC
[Connect]
[Help]
[...]
P.S. I can understand the preinstallation of GApps, but why the heck would i like to have Facebook, Messenger and Instagram preinstalled on my system, that cannot even be uninstalled?

you have to have root. to remove them you install a file explorer with root access, like Root Explorer is my favorite.
You browse to the system folder of the phone and youll see an apps folder and a priv-app folder. the stuff your looking for will be in there and you delete the entire folder of the apps you don't want. reboot when finished and they should be uninstalled.
it will be best to start with backing up your untouched system incase removing some app gives you problems, which it can when messing with system apps.
there is also play store apps the will uninstall for you, other apps can also "freeze" bloat without actually removing so you can see side effects of removing them
You can remove them all easily without root but you'll need a custom recovery like TWRP.
I do this before first boot to clean up apps and add HTC file explorer etc.
You can flash TWRP, remove apps then restore the factory recovery.

I just disabled them on mine, not like you would free up considerable space and if they are disabled, you don't get the updates eating in to your storage as the original just sits in the system partition.

Any way to remove Facebook completely without any problems after? Was thinking to maybe just buy the Chinese Version from China since China does not allow Facebook in the first place.
