hi guys just a quick question i have titanium pro and im going to remove a few apks from the system now my question is i know if i remove them and install a update to the rom it installes everything back on but if i freeze the apks instead when i flash a update to the rom will they remain frozen or will i have to freeze them again :silly:
also is freezing them just as affective as uninstalling them (freeing memory ect)
thank you
You shouldn't really uninstall any apps. The system Partition has over 700 megabytes of free space, and if you free that space you to won't be able to use it for anything (like saving pictures).
If you freeze the apps you'll get the same advantage as removing them: the won't be available on the launcher and won't autostart. And if anything bad happens you can just unfreeze the apps instead of having to install the entire rom again.
So, the answer is: just freeze the apps.

thanks for the fast reply
ya im not uninstalling/freezing apps for more space just annoying when have say 5 to 6 system apps which i dont use or want :crying:
so its best to freeze and still have all the benifits of uninstalling (like the services stop ect)
thanks:good:
also do you know that if i flash new version of rom that it unfreezes apps or do they stay frozen
If you flash new ROM with Kies/Odin it will be replaced by newr one and so you have to freeze it again.
In case of OTA (Though doubtful you may get on rooted devce), it will remain as it is OR may be replace if OTA will have update for that application.

thanks well im on omega rom so just update through cwm as usual shouldnt unfreeze apps? i know they reinstall everytime :silly:
Freezing is not only about free space.
It also means that some bloat which can cause load and slow down the phone is removed.
I think a combo of filters and label might help.

So being the impatient soul I am, right after I got permanent root, I decided to jump into Titanium Backup and deleted some of the bloatware. I was so impatient, that I totally forgot to backup the system apps I deleted to a backup folder on my SDcard, so now those apks are gone. My question is now, if an OTA becomes available, am I going to have problems again, just like with Paul's Goggles app?
If so, what do you suggest I do? I am guessing now that now root has been achieved, we can install those apps to the system just fine again. Can someone upload these apks for these system apps, so I just feel on the safe side and I have backups? I would greatly appreciate it...

Of course, if you don't see this as being a problem for the future, please tell me. It would make me feel a lot more secure about things. Thanks!
it shouldnt be a problem, you can re download those in the market
Goddamn it. Now I went to uninstall Email.apk to replace it with an old one that doesn't require remote security, but it keeps giving me an "Application not installed" error, even with the backup of the original.
How do I get it to install?!

You don't install system apps, you just move then into /system/app/
its likely if an OTA becomes available a dev will mod it to be flashable to rooted and modified /system/ devices
i would love to know how to get rid of the annoying [email protected]!*& adds

Okay, I feel much better now. Time to play around with this thing! So excited!
Yea if an ota comes out, it will be modded to update the system and skip files not found, if there is a patch.
So your good. I'm just waiting for custom recovery with nandbackup before I start messing n the system. I just hate setting up the phone all over after
And if all else fails you can fastboot flash system.img from the orig pc10img. Wiping all your data and formating ur system. Then updating to ota.

Curious to know this as well.

Just use Titanium Backup to uninstall any apps you want. Long click on the app, and an uninstall option will be there.

Hi,
I have the Vision Sense 1.82.405.1 Untouched ROM on my Desire Z, and I've noticed excessive data usage with the News app according to PhoneUsage app, despite turning off sync, so I wish to uninstall it. However, it's a HTC app. I have Titanium Backup but I can't figure out how to uninstall the app. Is it possible, and if so how?
In titanium back up bring up the menu select filter, select system apps then hit apply. You will then have a list of just system apps. Find the one you are looking for then when you click on them you will get a pop up menu. I would advise freezing the apps instead of uninstalling them. This way if you ever wanted to get an app back you haven't got reflash the rom. Also wouldn't hurt to do a nandroid first I uninstalled some system apps the other day which resulted fc's that I couldn't get rid of.

Recommendations above (to try freezing the app, and do a nandroid) are good ones, before uninstalling system apps. The News app is built into Android, and uninstalling such apps can possibly lead to issues.

I always uninstalled it and never had an issue.
Thanks. By nandroid do you mean using clockworkmod ROM manager to make a backup under Backup and Restore->Backup Current ROM? I've read nandroid guides that say I have to reboot into recovery. Do I have to do this or will "Backup Current ROM" in the app do the same thing?
Also, with News installed, do you guys experience excessive data usage, regardless of sync settings? This is the HTC News app I believe, not the stock Google one(if there's such a thing)
Hi,
Are there any issues with uninstalling/removing the Stocks and Peep system apps? I only have the free version of Titanium Backup and it doesn't allow me to freeze the apps.
Thanks.

I'm not totaly sure but I think you will be ok, just do a nandroid first so if something goes wrong you can role back

So I got the S3 last week, finally found the root thread yesterday and rooted it last night but had already done the OTA update. I am happy with the stock ROM for the most part, just want to get the bloat out of it. I plan on putting CWM on it tonight then backing the stock ROM up.
once I have the stock ROM backed up is it possible to use Ti Backup to uninstall the bloatware without causing any issues with in the stock ROM? If I do remove the bloatware will it cause issues with putting a custom ROM on in the future? What all bloatware can be removed without and bad things happening to the stock ROM.
Sorry for the questions, picture me as that 40 year old guy who knows enough to understand and also mess things up so I try to understand and do calculated moves before I actually do them.
Thanks in advance...Todd

you can use tibu to uninstall bloat. if you are unsure, freeze the app (in tibu) for a few days and see if you get fc's. if you don't, then you can uninstall, but it never hurts to have a backup. removing bloat will not affect custom roms
You can also just disable the applications in the built in application manager. You do have to remove any application updates first.

I used to be able do that, but now I don't have a button to disable or enable an app...any ideas what could cause this? (I used tibu to freeze bunch of bloatware, must have frozen something that caused that?)
I have the VM HTC Desire 816. I recently learned how to root and successfully did it. I used Titanium Backup to start uninstalling the apps that were forced to me. However as I start un-installing apps, the phone would automatically restart and auto-install the apps I removed. So why? I had a feeling apps like Mobile ID or My Account checked my phone's apps and would do the whole auto thing to get my phone back to 'normal' but even removing those apps is a fruitless attempt.
Edit: I would like thread removed. I just flashed another ROM and would not care to hear the solution to my initial problem.
Ok but I'd like to know how to debloat my stock Rom. If anybody has clues to this.
Reason is that I updated my rom to lollipop, and my memory is full. I have something like 40 apps installed and no room left to update the last apps.
Can someone help ?
I'd like to know how to do this as well. With some of the new stuff they added like kid mode, I don't know if it's just as easy as uninstalling the apps like usual.

Up !
Any info about this, or a list of safely removable apps ?
Threw this together. A simple aroma-based debater for the OP5. If anyone wants something more added, just let me know...

A debloater for OnePlus 5 (really any OxygenOS, but I only have OP5 now). Allows for removal of a lot of pre-installed apps. All apps are user selected. Can trim down and remove unused apps.
Hi,
I tried it with new OOS 4.57 and did not delete any Gapp
For system apps related to Oneplus like logskit and so on, it was ok and working like a charm.

Interesting comment as my long time debloat app System app remover (ROOT) wasn't able to remove Gapps apps (Google Music, Google Movie/TV) either. I'm trying to make /system room for installing V4ARISE but after this latest OTA there is not enough /system space left.
In fact that's why I'm looking at this debloat method. I wonder if the issue you observed is why the app I'd previously used no longer works. Unless I find something better I'll likely try Titanium Backup's uninstall method but I was looking for a way to batch clean up which I suspect would need to get done after every OTA.
EDIT: Using Titanium Backup to backup then uninstall worked. I removed Duo (~20Mg) to recovery the space I needed.

I am using also Titanium Backup for Gapps but freezing them rather than un-install.
Today, I tried deeper aroma script and I can uninstall every bloatware less Gapps (Chrome, Gmail,...)
