I rooted my phone, updated supersu, installed busybox. Why can't I delete stock apps?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
You need a File Manager with Root Access (I.e. ES File Explorer or Root Explorer) to remove stock apps from the /system/apps
Or
You can use Titanium Backup to remove /system/apps
Ok thanks man. This isn't my first foray into rooting. I have a HTC incredible, and a Samsung captivate, both rooted and on custom roms. On those it was far simmer to rid the bloat by simply going to the app manager and uninstalling the unwanted apps.

Anyone know where they are hiding the Google Chrome browser .apk? Also what all needs rt be deleted to rid the phone of knox? Or is it tied too far into the system for that?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Chrome is in /system/app and a /data/app.
Go into App manager first then uninstall it then use the File Manager to uninstall it from /system/app
As far as Knox.... I'm not too sure.

Delete the following files to get rid of KNOX, I still think there are few embedded files/processes but this should take care of the application iteself.
/system/app/KNOXAgent.apk
/system/app/KNOXAgent.odex
/system/app/KNOXStore.apk
/system/app/KNOXStore.odex
/system/app/KNOXStub.apk
/system/app/KnoxAttestationAgent.apk
/system/app/KnoxAttestationAgent.odex
/system/containers/ --> directory
/system/etc/secure_storage/com.sec.knox.store
/system/lib/libknoxdrawglfunction.so
/system/app/KLMSAgent.apk

I already got rid of that kind of stuff but I cannot find these particular files. I'm rooted running Virtuous.

I believe they are in /system/apps
Try using root explorer or a similar app and deleting them or download titanium backup and just freeze them usually I can find any apparently to freeze or uninstall with that

After trying to download a theme. I deleted Facebook. When I went to reinstall Facebook from market I get the following error, "package file not signed correctly". So I can't upgrade Facebook from 1.5.0 to 1.5.1. Help please. I tried to clear cache. Still says the same error. Thanks.

You use root explorer to go to
System >app> find face book delete it

Or you can use, SDX Stock app removal, root explorer never seemed to delete system apps for me, even tho i had it on r/w. SDX is also nice cause it backs it up!
I hardly ever use root explorer just sometimes to save apps for backup off the market..
I completely forgot about that
I'm too used to pushing everything by root explorer

There is no need to upgrade to 1.5.1 there was very minor changes that you won't even notice. That's why I haven't themed it and kept 1.5 in my theme
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
I used root uninstaller to delete Facebook. I then downloaded it again. But it downloads 1.5 instead of the newer version. But then the newer version will not install.
Even though I may not need 1.5.1. What id there is a major update in the near future and I cannot update it.
I guess I can wait until the new bonsai comes out.
Thanks everyone.

Is it safe to remove this app from the system? I'd like to remove for the reason that im not using it. Plus it takes a lot of space.
Follow up question: How to remove it? Thanks in advance.

It was installed instantly when I updated gb to 2.3.6. And also it does not show uninstall in settings>applications>manage apps>all. So i thought it was on the system.

Re: Need help
1.) Are you on a ROM? Which ROM?
2.) What app? Is it one app or all apps causing this issue?
3.) So you have the 32gb sgs3?
4.) Have you done any mods that mess with your storage?

Re: Need help
I'm guessing you're rooted? Apps like Titanium Backup or Adaway may cause this issue. Go into any root browser app and in the root directory go into /data/app/ and delete any .odex files you may see and then reboot the phone. That should fix the issue.

There isn't any of those folders it's not working
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
There are always /data/app and /system/app folders in the root directory of your ROM so make sure to use a root browser to view them and first go into /data/app/ and look for any. odex files and delete them. That usually does fix the problem you're having.

Here's a screenshot example of what you should be looking for and deleting. My Battery Reborn apk has an odex file attached to it

There's no folder data/app there's system /app but closes when I open
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
The only way you'll only see /system/app is if you're looking in the rom.zip file. You must already be on the ROM you're having issues with and then you MUST see /data/app because that is where all your user installed apps are located. So 1)Flash the ROM you're having app issues with and 2) Install and open any root browser like the one in Rom Toolbox and you'll see /data/app.

OP, buy the app. Stop using app license generators. That will fix the problem.

What about freezing it?
You can freeze it. I assume youre using a F400S because that's a SK telecom thing. I froze it on mine and it was fine.

I had the same issue with the kindle app. Using something like root explorer go into system/vendor/app and anything tibu can't delete is probably in there.
