thanks!

Just go to settings/applications and select the ap you don't want. Delete it and viola...your debloated.

That's not true. You can debloat the stock ROM by using titanium backup or deleting the apks from your system/app folder with a root explorer.

You can also delete in terminal emulator.

I have a HTC EVO and I have root access on it now. There is a update available which is the gingerbread update. Can I use that gingerbreak apk file to regain root if I take that gingerbread update?? Thanks..
RE: root
You can root GB with revolutionary.io. I did two EVO 4Gs earlier today without problem. I'd recommend flashing a stock-ish Gingerbread ROM that's already rooted, though, like SprintLovers.
Here's the easiest way: Install ROM Manager from the app market and buy the premium upgrade. Using premium, you can download and install custom ROMs pretty damn easily. I also recommend using ROM Manager to back up the current ROM (to make it super easy to restore if you have a problem), then using Titanium Backup (free in the market) to backup all your apps. Then install the new ROM and wipe everything (check the two bottom choices in ROM Manager when you choose the ROM to install). After your new ROM is installed, re-install Titanium from the market and restore all your apps and their settings.

IF you are refering from one of "Haus" Roms, you can't go wrong that is one of "Regonized Dev's" On XDA. But if you type what your looking for in the search bar, you will have your answer to any device, rom, files, XDA recommends us to a "Full Search" before starting a Thread.
Good luck and I know as I did when first started its exciting!
Your answer on Odexed & De-Odexed find it here from a great source for answers,

followed the tutorial for the unrevoked rooting method..(mad props to all involved)
okay so my question is, im on the stock rom(2.3.4) rooted with HBOOT.92 and obviously have root acces, i want to get rid of a bunch of bloatware, vcast,app sharing ect ect.
in the past i had a htc eris and used root explorer and deleted all the bloat from the system/app folder and seemed to work flawless. i tried that but they are still there, then used titanium pro to uninstall them but no go, then i created a filter name "bloat" and melted it. well now the app are uninstalled but still are in my apps screen. i then tried to use root explorer again and they are not to be found in the system/app folder, i have a backup so io am not worried.
any suggestions on how to get rid of these bloatware, or could you recommend a rom low on memory usage that is close to stock rom, or maybe some nice visualized roms that are not to big on the memory.
This might sound obvious but did you reboot after deleting the apps?

Get S-Off then try removing the apps again.
Hope this helps...
You dont need s-off to remove apps just root. Deleting the apks with root explorer should work.

Or Titanium Backup, make sure busybox is installed, there's a busybox installer app free in the Market.

I had this happen when 2.3 first came out, and I went to delete the apps and they'd just reappear on reboot. Installing busybox fixed my issue then.
Good luck!
well i think i may have figured it out, used this app System App remover, couldn't uninstall anything but disabled all the stuff i wanted to, then used root explorer to delete apk's in system/app.
installed busy box but didn't notice anything different.
Just flash a new rom. If you want something like stock or better I suggest any rom by Heyitslou, skyraider, or newtoroot sense 3.0 or lower.

you don't need to do any of that.
Using root explorer:
Delete the .apk files from BOTH system/app AND data/app.
Reboot into recovery.
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
Reboot
Be patient as your phone rebuilds the cache and dalvik cache. Once you get to the unlock screen, wait another minute or two.
enjoy.

Is it possible to remove the bloatware apps on a HOX without having to flash a new Rom? I can deal with rooting my phone but the rom business is confusing and id rather keep Sense but get rid of the pointless apps if thats possible
Thanks, apologies if this has been covered before.
Here's what we're going to do.
Root your device.
Get "Root Explorer" or any other file explorer with root capabilities.
Mount R/O.
Go to "system ->app" and remove what you like.
Keep in mind that there are some system apps that shouldn't be removed though!

Is it easy to upgrade rom, say when KLP is released?
You must make a nandroid backup directly after flashing the custom recovery. You need it to get back to full stock to be able to have official updates.
If you want to delete system apps i would like to recommend titanium backup.....you can uninstall and re-install system apps.
Removing Bloatware
Try an app called "Root App Delete". I tested it by removing one piece of bloatware and seems to work very well (you must be rooted).
Being over cautious I have disabled (rather than deleted) all other bloatware for 2 weeks now just to be sure all is ok to delete.
yes it is possible

There are many apps listed
you can try sd maid, rom toolbox, root uninstall,
See you have many options now
Thanks for your replies, can you not get OTA updates when you're rooted even if you stick with stock Rom then?
Yes you can but you have to leave the rom itself 100% stock (no removing of system apps) and you have to reflash the stock recovery after applying the root because you root the rom via a custom recovery.....i dont know exactly if a tool can root the rom without a custom recovery.....

Unfortunately there is no such thing as a "stock" debloated rom right now for the S4, all of them have some customization.
If you are looking for a really excellent rom to flash "Wicked v3" check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265998
It is not stock but it has all the carrier and samsung bloatware removed and has many outstanding features.
Good luck!
So what firmware will I have if I will buy s4 directly from samsung store etc. That's something what I am looking for my s4.

get titanium backup to remove any carrier bloatware apps, if you already have root then get a SU manager app and download goomanager and get TWRP recovery on your phone, after that you can download a stock.qmg to have the international i9500 boot up screen without the tmobile in it. that's as stock as I think you can get.

Titanium Backup no longer deletes all the bloatware system apps, it used be able to do remove
a lot of it before the S4 hit the scene. All Titanium can do now is simply "freeze" the system apps.
There are only perhaps 2-3 system apps at most which it can delete now, hopefully Titanium will
get updated so it will have the ability again to really do a good job getting rid of the bloatware.

Oh, I don't really use that to delete bloatware, I usually use root explorer and just delete the apps I just wanted to give him a easy workaround, you can also get an app called no more bloat o something like that, I works wonders.

Yes, root explorer can delete any files.
That's about the only way we can remove/delete bloatware now.
Even the "System App Remover" and the "Root Uninstaller" app
from the play store no longer removes/uninstall bloatware.
Those apps also need to be upgraded so they can delete bloatware in the S4.
OP just make sure that instead of deleting the apps with root explorer you 'move' them to a folder in your sd card, that way if you mess anything up you can always move the apps back where they belong. Best of luck.

I'm on locked but trying to debloat stock myself. I have safestrap installed primarily just to backup (I have a full stock backup). Freezing apps with TiBackup can be trial and error. I was hoping to figure out what all can be frozen and ultimately deleted to gain space. Is it possible to safestrap this ROM, set it up to where you want it, back it up, delete ROM slot and finally restore this backup to primary slot to gain maximum space? Maybe not possible, or am I making it too difficult? Would be nice if there was just a .bat script to debloat,etc. to the stock ROM.

there used to be an app on the market that debloats the ROM for you, but it was compatible with 4.1.1 only (Razr M toolbox, I think)

I do not know how one would choose but by duplicating a "list" from a bug free deodexed rom. There are 5 around: 2 from 4pda , this one, clean rom & one cooking @ rzr.
I have been trying to get the SD swap to work via initd. Seems initd is not functional. Comes with empty file "placeholder".
Question-has anyone used the initd on this rom?
Thanks
Been using for quite a few days now, and seems like it stops the shakes that were very annoying! Just cleared cache and dalvik and flashed! On TWRP 2.6

Not quite sure what initd is, but I did notice when I flashed this I now have superuser, and super su (which is what I had before) which one should I keep? They keep conflicting each other.
