1) Recommended: You can disable the app when you go to Settings->Apps and select the app. It will give you an option to disable.
2) You can remove the app if you have root. Just open a file explorer with root access, go to /system/app, backup the apk to /sdcard, and then delete it.
You could also freeze the app with Titanium Backup, then if you want to update OTA later you can just unfreeze it.

True, you could use Titanium Backup -- but it was more useful Gingerbread and prior versions of Android -- ICS has that feature built into the OS.
Similar question, if I switch to nova launcher can I just pull stock launcher permanently? I've done so in the past so its prob possible. I just don't like seeing nova appear in system panel using 50mb of ram labeled "perceptible" if both launchers are now taking extra resources.

Yes, you could. Keep in mind that you will need to put it back if you plan to update using the next OTA update URL.

Now that we have achieved root in ICS , shall we start a safelist of stock apps we can remove without ill effect?
feel free to submit your list. crossix you might already have a safe list and would love it here if you see this thread
I just rooted today but am at work so I will edit my post later with my list once I can take a closer look.

Why not just use ICS built in disable app functionality? I have disabled a number of apps and it seems great!

well i always have been more of a fan of using titanium backup to completely get rid of bloat. also i dont believe you can disable a system installed app even with root. titanium can delete anything :-D

I didn't think there was too much bloat on the A100, even with the ICS upgrade, apart from Aupeo, Acer Media and a couple other apps I barely notice them. Nigh on a stock build, thankfully
What apps did you uninstall and how did you get them uninstalled? I just uninstalled several of them with Titanium Backup, but when I rebooted they were still there. Some of them I was not able to uninstall, error message Cannot remove system app. Failed to locate the apk file.
Use Root Explorer and delete the applications contained in the location: /Flexroom.

Is it possible for me to customize my launcher however I want and place the apk into a rom or theme and once flashed and installed my launcher would already be exactly as I always had it?
I'm not trying to back it up and restore it. What I'm really trying to do is get go launcher the way I customize and set all my widgets, apps, and short cuts into a .zip and once its flashed and the app installs it autimatically comes the way I already had it with no need to restore any kind of data.

I doubt it... that requires backing up the desktop configuration. Also... go launcher is CIQ renamed YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.
No. That info is stored in the data partition, not with the app.

or you could make a backup of it in titanium and restore it every time.
EDIT: ignore this. I just read the op thoroughly

I understand what you're saying, as I do a similar thing with my roms. What I do is simply copy in the data with the launcher apk. However, widgets never restore properly. One could modify a launcher to change the defaults, but I couldn't tell you where to begin.

Ya I kind of figured it would be possible since different launchers have a different "stock" setting that they set the home screen so I wanted to see if it was possible to edit that "stock" into whatever I want. But it may be a little bit too much to do. I may think about it later, but not for now. Thanks though.

What's CIQ? Is that like an ATRAC? I think I heard about that in a museum.
Such old news. Only a few months ago but yet it seems to have faded completely.
We should go back to using those KnowCIQ banners. To prevent that kind of thing in the future. Though I don't really care.
So.... The Chinese have all my top secret data?
So, suprising no one has tried to remove it, rewrite one without it, or just blatantly expose the code. Probably could make some headlines considering how widely used GoLauncher is. I hear and see people talk about it but I've only seen references. (the again, never really researched it other than Google.... <- - - THE WORLDS LARGEST CIQ?)

Root explorer or ES file explorer and delete apps you don't want in /system/ app

Mind you, for system apps you will need root access.
Titanium backup and root paid version just freeze them.

What bloatware do you think is in your Nexus 7 anyway? Just disable them using the built-in mechanism, no need to remove anything.
Yea I've compiled aroma installers just for removing bloatware but this is usually carrier related garbage or touchwiz/motoblur/sense stuff. None of that exists here so I wouldn't even spend the time creating that. I don't think there is any bloatware here just maybe "unwanted" apps. which once rooted can be easily removed or just frozen/disabled.
where are bloatwares in a stock jellybean rom?simply deactivate what you don't want\like..no need to cancel..for example a rom like bamf has built-in the tool to deactivate system\apps.very usefull for a person in yours position..
As a matter of interest what apps/files can be frozen via titanium? Anyone got a list of which are safe to remove?

I'm interested in this too. My device isn't yet rooted. You can force stop apps from settings but I believe they start up again at reboot which is annoying. Maybe time to root my device!

NO! There is a Disable button on the same screen with the Force Close that disables apps since ICS.
My sister is running Tazz ICS, and there are some HTC apps that she doesn't use so I am disabling them in settings->apps. However, there are a few where the disable button is not able to be pressed. Is there a permission I can change so that I can disable them. One I can think of off the top of my head is HTC Location or Location Launcher.
I know titanium backup can freeze them, but I would rather use the built in ICS app disable instead of buying an app to do it.

Thanks, I just found that. Too bad the .apk files aren't all named the same as the apps. I was hoping to find a way to just disable them in the settings->apps menu, but I looked at the permissions for the ones you can't disable and they are the same as the ones you can.
Can't you do that with titanium backup ? I think I saw that a while back

Yeah, you can freeze them. Might need pro though, don't remember. If you don't want to do that, just say what apps you want removed and we can tell you what the apk name is.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk 2
You need Titanium Pro to freeze apps and I didn't want to pay for it. I found the apks and just renamed them. It just seems like having HTC be able to block their crap from being disabled defeats the purpose of the ICS option to disable unwanted apps.
Recently all my apps have disappeared from my app drawer. Updated apps will show up until reboot then gone. Cannot find a setting to refresh. Tried clearing davlik and cache....no good....tried reflash....no good. Running rooted hybrid x ver3 rom...nova launcher on note4...anyone have any ideas??...thx in advance

If you switch to the stock (TW) launcher does it still happen?
Also, in Nova, double tap a home screen to bring up the menu. Scroll to the bottom, tap advanced, tap restart Nova. If that brings them back you likely have an issue with Nova.
Yes...tried that...they just don't want to live here anymore.. I have to go to playstore for the app I want and open it from there....apps are installed but just not in the drawer...they will stay on the home screen if placed there but not in the drawer....never seen this before....no new changes to rom or downloads....weird

I (personally) would make sure my apps are backed up with TiBu and reinstall the rom.
Yeah I agree...just really didn't want to go that way but probably have a glitch....such is the life of a flashaholic...thanks for verifying what I suspected.

One more thing, if you haven't already, make an update zip in TiBu by long pressing the recent apps thing while in TiBu... Not from the menu. It makes a zip that only installs TiBu and its settings not the apps. This is better (imo) as sometimes update zip with apps can be a little squirrely.
When you get it working right let us know.
Good luck!
Cool beans....thanks...will keep you informed...
