Use this app: System App Remover
(Your phone needs to be rooted for this)

If you don't want root, disable the app. It will be removed from the app drawer

Hello I am using Xperia Arc with 2.3.4 rooted
I want to hide my camera application
before 2.3.4 update I used to hide camera app using smart bar(in application manager there is app called camera). It worked successfully
But after 2.3.4 upgrade there is additional app named Camera 3D along with default Camera . The problem is that Camera 3D is not visible in application manager of smart bar. So I cannot use above method to hide it. Is there any simple way to hide Camera 3d ?
I think following method might work. Please correct me if I am wrong as I am nob to this stuff !!
1)in the file manager I found there are 3 camera related apks in /system/app folder viz semcCamera3D.apk,semcCameraUI. apk,CameraExtentionPermission.apk
2)I think if I delete semcCamera3D.apk ,camera 3D will disappear permanently . I am correct ? Is it safe to remove semcCamera3D.apk?
3)adao file manager says I do not have permissions to delete files in /system/app . Even when my arc is rooted. Is there any free gui app like Root explore to delete such system apps?
Sounds like you're not rooted to me.. But why would you want to hide/ remove it anyway?!?? If you do then try using Titanium Backup to freeze it.

IF you are ROOT user,then thear up right corner is button "mount r/w, mount r/o"
Push "mount r/w" and you are abel to delete all what you want. But alway make before BACKUP to file what you want to delete.

They show up in the app drawer, any way to remove them?
Try with Titanium backup you can uninstall system apps with it.
Well, I went through /system/app and deleted a load of APKs (so now just have 1 page of apps in the app drawer, and then another 2 which I want to get rid of)
I can't find the APKs for these though
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050283
Thats a link to a rom cleaning script which lists many apps and the name of the .apk for that app,you may find what you need to know there.Just watch what you are deleting as could cause system problems

If the script doesn't work, you can use the package manager commands through terminal (or adb shell) to determine apk location.
Use root un installer pro

Use Titanium Backup to delete system apps or remove them prior to flashing.
to remove apps before flashing open the archive and go to sdext - app_s delete the apk. I think it's the easiest way.

try to re-add the widget..
make sure that the scripts are mounted
---> check the settings
try to remount the ext. partition,then restart phone..
(Preface for noobs : /system and /data are two different partitions. Freeying up /system won't get you more intrenal memory, but /data does. Old apks rest in /system and updated versions placed in /data. You can replace the old apks using newer versions)
I heared Titanium Backup PRO does something like, but you can do this with any File Explorer with ROOT access. Its works 100% for Android Gingerbread 2.3.x , try on other versions.
### Do it on your own risk, I am not responsible for anything ###
1. Update the desired app to the latest version from Google Play Store
2. Open File Manager, Enable ROOT_ACCESS, remount /System as writable
3. Goto /system/app and backup the desired apk to sdcard
4. Goto /data/app and copy updated apk
5. Paste into /System/app
6. Note down the filename of old apk and delete the old apk
7. Rename the new apk into the old filename
8. You may encounter a FORCE CLOSE if the app was running in background
9. The updated apk in /data/app will be removed automatically
10.Restart your device, Done!
I replaced Playstore, Maps, Google Search ect..
Example: For PlayStore, updated apk will be com.android.vending-1.apk, and old apk is vending.apk
Hit thanks it it works, Thanks
Update title with "not noobproof", this is complicated and dangerous for people who don't know what they're doing.

if you use Link2SD there is option 'integrate update into system' at every updated app

Very useful and free app

you can also move apps to system partition to save space on data partition
just select 'convert into system app' in link2sd and then reboot
