Delete system apps on lollipop - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have the titanium beta which I believe has lollipop support but it does not delete system apps. Tried a few of the apps available on the playstore that are supposed to delete them too but with no luck. Anyone have suggestions to delete them on lollipop?

i used this - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en
my device required reboot afterwards.

[Q] Remove GoMarket

Hey guys,
i'm using 2.51 rom UK, but since the black status bar update (i think) i have installed an app called "GoMarket"
I tried to delete it, but it didn't work.
Wouldn't be a problem.
BUT, i realized that this app also catches the market links.
If i can't remove it, at least i want to rid of it catching my market links.
any advices? tips?
read somewhere, just removeing the apk from systen folder possibly messes everything up? don't need something yet. any confirms?
thanks a lot
assuming you've rooted your device, i think you can use titanium backup pro or adb to remove it.

you could try uninstall for root ive used it to uninstall system apps before also some app require device administration permissions and you have to unselect them first to uninstall them the settings can be found in Settings>Location & security settings>Select device administrators
You just need to download titanium backup which is free version and locate that gomarket app in TB and click delete. Or use root explorer to go into system/app and locate that file n simply delete it.
thanks for the many resonses

dont find this option on my phone (as above, 2.51 stock 2.1)
to systems/apps delete it with command or root explorer,
question is, does this mess up may system? read about phones which don't start after deleting goMarket directly ;=)
would have been my first try
edit: thx
Do a nandroid backup if you're worried.
Titanium Backup doesn't work? Make sure you have an updated busybox (there's on on the Market).

[Q] Delete Preinstalled Apps - After Root!

I rooted because I was fed up with the preinstalled Orange bloatware apps as I need the space! I used unrevoked and I have full root access i.e. I have the superuser app and I have been able to access the system partition and even managed to delete apk files from the system apps directory.
However, despite trying all the suggestions i found on these forums and elsewhere; Root Explorer, System App Remover and Titanium backup, no matter how many times I remove the apps in question, within a short time, the phone reboots and the apps are back again!
Please note that I am only trying to remove the stupid games etc which Orange stuff the ROM with not anything significant.
I really dont fancy flashing a new ROM as I cant be bothered setting up my phone again from scratch, so any advice somebody can give would be REALLY apreciated!!
You need to S-Off your phone, not just root if you want to remove your applications, while the phone is booted.
Search a guide here in the Android Developement section.
Alternatively use ADB to remove the files - your phone must be in recovery mode.
Thanks so much!!
Or better yet, just install one of the custom roms with a2sd. If you don't want a modified one, just use rooted froyo with a2sd, this is a good one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789058

If you are S-ON you can delete them with ADB when you are in recovery mode.
You can also delete them through root explorer from the market. It's not free but it takes two minutes to use and you can see what your deleting if you are unsure
I have the same issue here.
Will try the ADB method when get a chance, but Root Explorer won't delete them - you can delete unwanted games etc, but they are still on the apps list the the files will come back after the reboot - tried this already.

You are S-OFF, so no wonders why you don't have any problems
titanium backup
why not just use titanium backup. its free and a very easy way to uninstall apps.
Again, you need to be s-off to uninstall system apk, which unfortunately all the bloatware is.
Clarification, you need to be s-off to use titanium or root explorer to remove system apk.

@vis-tec: It's Orange UK, rooted, but S-ON. ADB method works perfect tough. Tested last night. Also integrated some system apps updates in the ROM via ADB.
titanium backup hasn't work for me either.
only ADB
remember that deleting bloatware does not give you any extra amount of space.
these apps are in \system which is not where apps you download install.
only way of extending you app-space is A2SD+ or DATA2XXX but they tend to slow down the phone
best solution >> S-OFF and ROM designed to run on a custom HBOOT.
u get lots of space, and a super fast rom since dalvik cache stays on NAND

it does.
i've had google maps, youtube updates etc in the /data/app and after deleting bloatware and the old versions of gmaps etc. there was enough space in /system/app to move the updates there.
so now on the /data/app is 8-10MB more for my other apps.
also if i'm right the /system partition is used as cache for apps, so there is more space for this.
and it looks way better when you open 'all apps' drawer - the list is much shorter now and there is only the stuff you need

[URGENT] HELP! Error -24 on titanium backup

This is a common error that occurs with the Play Store sometimes after flashing ROMs without wiping data, or with an incomplete un-installation (apk corruption, etc.)
Simple to fix:
(I'm assuming you're rooted, chances are you are if you get this error)
- YOU'LL LOSE YOUR DATA FOR THAT APP (You would have done anyway, if it was uninstalled properly) -
1.) Using a root file manager, go to /data/data
2.) Find the package name of the app you're wanting to install
(Don't know the package name? Find the app you're wanting to install on the Play Store online and it's in the URL)
3.) Delete that folder. All of it.
4.) Try to install your app again, it should work now
5.) If you like, hit the thanks button
Already done that mate.. but still get the error with titanoum, data/data is empty now

cant uninstall system apps

Guys, I'm rooted with magisk and I want to remove system apps like youtube. I used system app remover for it and it always fails, any idea how to do it?
Try root uninstaller. Always worked with me.
I've always used root uninstaller on all my devices until this one. It says something along the lines of "sorry, root privilege found but cannot mount system r/w " so it will only allow me to disable apps. Root essentials on the other hand won't disable apps but will allow me to uninstall system apps except for Google, which I had to manually delete the folder and apk for.

You can use Titanium Backup to do so, uninstall and reboot to confirm, Just make sure the app is not disabled before you uninstall it.

Thanks it really works.

I had the same problem, too. I tried several apps but the uninstalled ones magical appear again after reboot.
The only thing that worked for me was to install the magisk module " terminal debloater " here on XDA.
Now they are gone.

[GUIDE][ROOT]Delayed notifications after Titanium backup data restore

Not sure how well known this is, but after Titanium backup data restore, many applications (Whatsapp, Hangouts, ..) experience delayed/missing notifications, especially when restoring complete app data on a new device. Quick fix is to locate and delete this file
Code:
/data/data/app_name_folder/shared_prefs/com.google.android.gms.appid.xml
Force close the app, open it again and notifications will start working fine. This action forces re-connection with Google GMS server responsible for push notifications.
this works for me, i tried it on my redmi note 8, miui 11 global rom

If i restore Titanium backup on the same device then will I face this issue?

If it's after a factory reset, then yes. Otherwise you should be able to restore all app data without any side effects.
This works for me, thank you so much.

You need root access and newer Android versions (11+) have different path:
Code:
/data_mirror/data_ce/null/0/app_name_folder/shared_prefs
ok, i have root access out of the dev settings and i have android 12. do i need an file explorer app or is it some adb connection?
Root is granted by installation of Magisk, to browse system files you'll need a compatible file explorer - I'm using Total commander from Play store.
