Seeing as there are no custom roms yet, that wont include the bloatware, how can I unistall (almost)all the AT&T bloatware from my i927. I am rooted, i just need help to unistall the useless apps from my phone and clear up some memory.
Side note, how do I set my external_sd as my default location to install some apps instead of the "sd" on the phone?
Install TitaniumBackup from the market. In addition to backing up all your apps and data, you can use it to uninstall any app, even system apps like AT&T's stuff.
Not sure about how to change the default install location, though.

Only some apps support exteral_sd but you should look into the Apps2SD application.

for the side note you can use direct bind, this app can change folders from your external sd to you usb, i dont speak english and i cant express how this app work, but you can search in the web, or in forums of samsung galaxy s2, luck
Hopefully the question says it all really. How can I disable a system app in the EliteMod/AOKP ROM? I've tried googling this but can't find any way of disabling the system delivered Facebook app.
Under andromadus or cyanogen mod ROMs I could use the pm command in a terminal but this doesn't seem to be applicable here as it fails. Does AOKP bring its own package manager?
Thanks

There is no 'system delivered' Facebook app in EliteMod (nor in AOKP I don't think). You actually have to download and install Facebook from the Play store. Yours was probably automatically installed when you signed into google, in which case, just uninstall it.
But normally for 'system' apps you goto Manage app, tap on it, and then the 'disable' button. Just be aware that some actual system apps may break the phone if disabled.
facebook is safe to get rid of altogether, use titanium backup to delete it or root explore, or through terminal or adb. any of these methods can remove it

Assuming you know where exactly to look if the OP is talking about more than just the downloaded Facebook app you could just 'uninstall' from Manage Apps.
I wonder if the OP is talking bout an AOKP rom with EliteKernel on it? In which case it would depend on how AOKP itself was distributed, I know That EliteMod Rom (kernel and rom, and nothing else) does not come with Facebook.
All,
Thanks for your responses. I was able to delete it using titanium backup. manage apps gave me options only to uninstall updates, but not the app itself which makes me believe it was shipped with the ROM. I'm using the EliteMod ROM with kernel for ICS as per this thread...

I don't like the Facebook app as it seems a bit cumbersome, hence why I wanted to get rid of it, but hopefully its removal won't impact on other Facebook apps I have installed. We shall see... I don't recall installing it, but I'll admit that it could have been installed automagically
Thanks again.

I'm using the same (note my signature), it doesn't come with Facebook, but your google account will re-install it automatically upon signing in if you have your google account set up to do so. You should be able to uninstall the main Facebook app itself form manage apps (would appear under downloaded).
Though I get the same thing you do, and I imagine that you would have to uninstall updates before you can uninstall the main app.
however if you searched Facebook for Android in the Google Play market, you would see the Open / Uninstall options right there.
So next time (for a downloaded app, as we determined Facebook is not a system app in this case):
1) Try from Manage Apps
2) Try from Google Play
3) Try other means (titanium backup, or going in thru 'adb shell' and removing the apk from /data/app/)
Hi,
I noticed you were/are running the same ROM, but it's still odd. I did try looking at Facebook in the play store, but again there was no uninstall option. Still, the end result is that Facebook is no more. At some point I'm going to implement dataswap, after I've backed up my sd card and I'll take another look then.
I did check the EliteModICS120706.zip and it does contain a com.facebook.katana.zip under the system/app directory. Whilst I'm familiar with Linux (and of course Android is based on this), does its inclusion in the ROM zip file mean that it is automatically installed
Thanks for your help

I can confirm that both the likes of com.twitter.android.apk and say com.facebook.katana.apk are present under /system/app but course com.facebook.katana-1.apk is present under /data/app for me since I installed it.
I *think* the two that comes with Android are notification/tie-ins with the rest of the system, i.e.: what allows you to connect say Twitter/Facebook/Yahoo/Google/Etc account to the rest of the phone for means of notification and contact imports etc. I just know that I actually had to install the Facebook app before that option would even show up under System Settings -> Accounts.
By the way when you partition the SD Card for sd-ext (which is what is advised for dataswap), depending on your type of recovery, do not create a second sd-ext, and preferably skip the swap as well, so you should only have two partitions on the SD Card, a sd-ext and the FAT32 (for your normal /sdcard stuff). The dataswap mod will put a swap file within /data/local since most of your apps will be moved from /data/app and /data/app-private over to /sd-ext/app*
And furthermore, don't bother to move any of your apps "to SD card" when using sd-ext, since they are all already on the SD card (just in the faster, more efficient /sd-ext/ partition that's mapped to /data/).
the apps twitter and facebook came with the rom and are installed under system app, can not be removed with market, nor settings>manage apps. many roms nowadays come with those so you can either remove them from the rom before download or remove them after via adb, terminal, tb, rootexplorer, or whatever means.
you do not need to unistall updates before you uninstall apps, even system apps, you just need to uninstall them diffrently than just settings>manage apps>uninstall
that will only work for apps stored in /data

Try Amazon FireTV Utility App, it may work.
Or you can install DU speed booster and uninstall apps that do not show up in the apps list. There are a lot of apps that will show all apps even ones that do not show up in the apps list, but DU speed boosster is a great app with a few good features beside having an app manager.
thanks. ill give them a try.
Please suggest me anything...just to increase my phone memory space because it's not enough for me to use only 4gb memory spaces. Thank you

You may either root or disable apps.
The best ad-free junk clearing app is Files Go by Google. Tap here to go to Play Store
Then You have two options:
Root: The easiest and tried-n-tested way is through KingoRoot. Download APK on your phone or .exe on PC from https://www.kingoapp.com/.
Then you could uninstall all system bloatware.
Without Root:
Follow the Guide by xda Author Doug Lynch:
Uninstall OEM bloatware without Root Access
If you are not that brave, (and not a true xda member by heart), you may just go to Settings>Apps>All Apps, then select the System Apps and tap on Disable.
There are so many many bloatware. I just wanna uninstall or disable them. And disable button is hidden. So how do I do that???
Use adb method search on xda "uninstall system apps using adb"
