This might be a newb question, but I just wanted to make sure. I see that Titanium Backup has the ability to uninstall system apps, and there are a few in the ROM I'm using that I just don't care to use. The apps are Twitter, Google+, Play Books, Play Music, and Play Movies & TV. These don't seem integral to the system itself so would it be okay if I just uninstall them? Is there a better way besides Titanium Backup to uninstall, and does it leave traces behind? Thanks for the help!
yea it would be okay to uninstall them , it doesn't effect
Remove and fear nothing
Back them up and then delete them, if the deletion of them causes problems then restore them and delete them one by one until you find the one causing the problem and just keep it (sadly), but the applications you listed should not effect the device in any way after uninstalling.

I've always used Titanium Backup to remove bloatware from stock roms on my phones and its been great. Just try and be sure that the apps you uninstall are not sense related, google services, sms, phone, stock browser, etc. etc.

guys, i cant stress this enough and i'm sure the old android heads here will agree with me. their are many many different android phones out there that have root. And although they're all different they all have a few apps in common. setcpu, rom manager, terminal, titanium back up.
I just want to touch base on Titanium backup.
It allows you to totally remove any app, including bloat ware. You can also suspend apps.
the freeze feature was handy because i enjoy sense but didn't like its apps and widgets hogging ram for no reason; considering i never used those sense apps. it netted in a nice battery and performance gain, at least.
one awesome thing about TB is the ability to back up your apps and reinstall all of them. the whole experience is as streamlined as batch market downloading and waaaaaay better than astro file managers one at a time annoying install.
Also, after a full wipe you will definitely want to run market dr so u can easily keep tabs on your updates.
in short, you wouldn't bang her/him without a condom right? well don't flash with out titanium backup!
I totally recommend the paid version!!!!!
So now we can uninstall completely without consequences web2go, Pico TTS, Quickoffice, Listen , Home screen tips, Google Skymaps, Google Translate, Goggles, Finance, wifi calling, etc ??
I was about to but i got a message that said i might have to reinstall the ROM if something craps out...

you should be able too delete what u want. I wouldn't remove wifi calling though lol

oh i see,
in regards to a backup? i think itll be best to be safe than sorry and wait till clockwork recovery is released.
is there a big difference between the free and paid version? what im asking is would i still be able to do back up and delete bloatware with the free version
The batch is MUCH better with the paid version, definitely well worth it

I agree!!!!!!!!!
Just one thing: please don't forget that system apps (ie: apps that are part of your ROM) themselves can't be restored by TitaniumBackup for now. Only their data is backed up. So if somebody is not 100% sure about removing a system app, it's wise to try freezing it first -because that's easy to undo.
So how do we do the remove of unwanted apps

Get Titanium Backup, and you can uninstall them with that.

Or if you don't care to have them back, just go through settings/application/manage and find the ones you want to delete. I and Some other people don't care to have those apps so why back them up? Sometimes its just a waste of time!
backup etc
Most i just want gone! Like nascrap, sprint tv etc.
The Titanium Backup is probably a good idea in case you delete one program and it has an effect on one you want to keep. Heard of that happening.
**Problem is u go into manage apps and Uninstall is not an highlighted option on the ones they want to shove down your throat.
Some you want to keep are freindstream, g-talk and gmail...
But yeah, the NASCAR, NFL, Amazon, Peep, et al.... gone
You can actually get rid of Friendstream too if you don't use, and also get rid of any of the social networking apps. I get rid of friendstream, , facebook, news, callender, footprints, rss reader, music, browser, app sharing, sprint hotspot, and several others, because I don't use them, or their are better replacements on the market.
Titanium Backup is probably the best, but you could also use Root Uninstaller. This gives you a lot of options, such as freezing an app and restoring apps.
I use Root Explorer, I have never used Titanium Backup but you should be able to use it.

The sixth post has a lot of items that are safe to delete.
hey guys i rooted my phone a few weeks back and now an running synergy sense 3.0.
how do i go about deleting the system apps or stock apps that phone will not simply let u uninstall is there an app to do that or do i have to go through the phone hardware itself??

be careful you can delete important stuff, use caution. back up first!!
I use Titanium Backup to remove system apps.
It has the capability to "freeze" them without actually removing them. This is helpful when you don't really want to get rid of it permanently but just want to stop it from running on its own.
It also allows you to be sure that no problems will be caused by removing the app. If something else depends on it and you start getting force closes you can thaw the app to recover it.
Once you are sure that you want to be rid of it forever you can remove it completely.
off the top your head do u know what all can be removed without messing up pone?
+1 for using Titanium Backup to remove system apps.

At one time I saw someone here trying to build a comprehensive list. Definitely can remove the 'bloat' like Amazon MP3, NASCAR, NFL, Kindle, Nova, Sprint Navigation, and the other Sprint apps.
Things that get you into trouble are things that are integrated into Android (like Google Talk) or HTC Sense.

Some App list of bloat in the v20c rom
Some Support to resolved it?
The built in app manager in settings allows you to remove or disable almost all the bloatware. No other apps, files, or scripts needed. Do not delete our disable Google play movies.

You can delete anything except Play Movies (Moves.apk, Movies.odex)
why is the reason??
Some list of all apps can i disable on this device?
If you remove play movies you will get a security error and may brick the phone. everything else should be no problem.

Listen its like any other phone.
Just suck it up and buy TiBu.
Reason? Some apps cannot be disabled via os.
I dont know what google did but its total bs with the google apps.
Yes you CAN disable any ap you want, as long as its not a system app you will be gtg.
Have disabled google movies, no issues.
Do not remove apps unless you can for sure retrieve them or will not bork your os!
Removing any app, unless done via custom rom, or you are never going to update, is a bad idea.
My advice:
Never delete Always disable or freeze.
I Have all google apps except the play store disabled. Yes including google movies.
Unfortunaty i dont know if its ics, or just an update but some of the google apps reset or unfreeze themselves.
I also froze anything that says att on it.
I send tibu an email about the google apps re enabling so i imagine at some point theyll fix it.

I second that though, but keep in mind that it was not google that put that security measure in place, it was LG upon googles request.
That happened right after they adopted the jelly bean into the os. We may have to do a little tinkering to find the software thats blocking the mods to 20c.

I would 100% agree titanium bu is one of the best all purpose apps around not just for backups. Use it to freeze or uninstall apps, push apps to be system apps, fix market connections and even sync your backups to drive, box or drop box. Well worth the $!

I tried uninstalling certain system apps via Titanium Backup such as Play Movies & TV but to my horror, PlayStore reinstalled them immediately.
It's not a huge deal but I dislike seeing apps on my app drawer that I will never use. Alternatively, I could freeze it but I rather free up the space.
Has anyone had any luck in permanently uninstalling system apps?

You could try using your root explorer type app and delete the apk. Should be gone after a reboot.

I always use solid explorer to do that. Works every time
I have the same problem. Have you guys been able to use a file explorer to do it? Root Explorer just says that the delete fails and Solid just hangs during the delete process. Anyone figure this out?
