Is there a list of apps safe to remove on a rooted stock kindle?
Related
I was hoping someone could help me get things straight in my head before I proceed any further. Currently I am running stock w/root 1.47. The first thing I did was get titanium backup (donate version) and backup my apps and system data. This is where I am at a loss.
I want to be running a lean, fast phone with wifi tethering. Here are my questions:
I installed ROM manager, can this be used to test out different roms without rebooting into my recovery?
Is there a list of apps I can remove? I can use titanium backup to remove them (also, should I remove, pause, or delete?) Specifically I don't want things like sprint nascar, sprint zone, etc.
Will the roms remove my useless apps, or do I need to do it manually? Specifically I was thinking of installing baked snack.
Thanks
ROM manager has an option inside the app to boot you into recovery. No way around trying a new Rom other than going into recovery, wiping, and flashing.
Go to the android chef forum and search 'apps safe to remove' and it should turn up a thread that keeps a list of apps you can use.
Most custom roms, including baked snack, remove bloat apps (mostly Sprint apps)
Awesome, one more thing. I am trying to figure out what to backup using titanium backup. On my stock rom, lets say I have all the apps downloaded that I want to use. Do I want to exclude everything RED on titanium backup and just backup the green programs? When I flash to a new rom and go to titanium backup, if I backed up EVERYTHING and restore it, wouldn't it put the bloatware back on my phone?
I want to backup all of my apps so I can have a clean ICS installation. But I would prefer not to root the tablet. Is there any way to do a backup and restore of apps and data without root?
If I do root and use something Titanium Backup, can I select which apps I want to restore the data for or does it just restore everything?
AFAIK, you can't back up apps unless you use something like Titanium backup. And yes, you can select which apps you want to backup/restore.

On an individual app, can you choose to restore the app without restoring the data? I don't want to restore the problems that I think a particular app is causing. For other apps, I really want to restore the data and personal settings.
adb withn ICS is capable of backing up data without root. I haven't tried it yet but the newest adb binary is needed. There is also an option in Developer Optionsfor desktop password protection. I'd suggest searching google or here on xda to see how it works.
Hi,
I used to flash custom ROMs and I back up all my apps using TBU (titanium back up) before I flash.
I just noticed that my user apps is like only half of the system apps. I just want to
get rid of system apps just to free up memory. I always think that these system apps also
contains some from the other custom ROMs that I no longer use.. I just dont want to mess with it.
I just want to have system apps of the CURRENT ROM i'm using.and delete the system apps from the ROMs developed
by the community.
Anyone knows how to do it...please let me know here...
When you flash a ROM, the system partition gets wiped and overwritten. You can't have system apps left over after a new ROM flash unless you are restoring them from tibu. Never restore system apps

1st off, I'm still on the Stock Rom. Using Samsung GS3 i747. I have rooted and use CWM Recovery. I understand that once rooted, Bloatware is easy to remove. How exactly is that done?
mrRobinson has a great method. check out the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732039

Also you can download titanium backup. I'm not a fan of bloatware removal flashable utilities.
- Download titanum backup
- open and then select backup and restore.
- It will brinf up all apps and bloatware installed.
- Select an app and it will give you options to delete, backup, restore apps.
- enjoy
here is a list of apps you can remove safely but its all up to you what you want to save.

I removed some of the Bloatware in my phone using ROM Toolbox lite and then I uninstalled the app. Now I want to restore the Bloatware but when I reinstalled the app I couldn't find the apps. Is it possible to recover out any other way reinstall the Bloatware without flashing the stock ROM again.
Plz Help.
Why do u want so???
I couldn't update my phone to Nougat until I do so...
Cause the update is not installing.
Actually if someone can provide me all the bloatware APKs for Android One and I reinstall them as System Apps will it work.
Which device(Android one) u are using
