Hello Folks!
After Rooting my HTC One M8 with Android 6 Marshmallow i want to Delete the Bloatware with Titanium Backup. The "Uninstall" Button doesnt Work, i can delete the Bloatware Apps but when i Restart the Phone the Bloatware Apps are back
But TB have a Delete Force Option (over Security Hole in the System) but can anyone tell me which Bloatware Apps can be Deleted without the Risk of a Brick or unstable System?
And are the Bloatware Apps and all there files complete Deleted after this wipe?
I want to Uninstall the following Bloatware Apps:
Stocks, Facebook, Skype, Twitter, Fun Fit, Google News & Weather, Google News, Peel Remote, News Republic, Zoe Video Editor, Kid Mode
Hope someone can Help me.
Thanks!
Use a root explorer like Solid Explorer. Just search in Play Store. Navigate to /system/app and /system/priv-app to delete your bloat-apps.
Alternative you can use your recovery to delete bloatware. Recommend is TWRP
You can safely remove all the apps you listed in your post. There is no risk.
Hope this helps you

This is due to secure kernel on the M8. You can either search for, and install insecure kernel mod, or flash a custom kernel. Or use one of the methods mentioned in the previous response (TWRP, some other root apps).
If you have any doubts/uncertainly about deleting the bloat apps; you can test by freezing the app(s) in Titanium. Then use the phone for a while with the app(s) frozen). If no ill effects are observed, it is probably safe to delete the bloat app(s).

I am rooted on a custom ROM. There are several apps that show running when I looks up the applications settings, that I never use. Such as;
Sprint voice mail. ( I use Google voice)
AP News. I never use that widget.
Can I just use root explorer and go into system/app and delete the .apk ? Would that permanently remove those ?
Sprint Galaxy S2 w/ Calk's 1.5a + ICS 1.6
Use Titanium Backup, ROM Toolbox, or a similar app to uninstall/freeze the apps you don't want/need. These apps require root, and allow you to uninstall system apps, or freeze them so that they never run in the background.
I personally do not vouch for the accuracy of the list but you might find this thread of interest:

Hello everyone:
What to do with bloatware?
I uninstalled some of the obvious bloatware after rooting.
I do not use Facebook, Google + etc. but I am not sure if it is a good idea to uninstall them?
Ideas on what is needed for absolute functioning of the unit and what can be deleted or uninstalled are very welcome.
Thank you,

Your phone will continue to function as normal after uninstalling those apps if that's what you are asking
Don't uninstall anything related to Sense or Android system. 3rd party system apps that you don't use are generally safe to uninstall. Don't uninstall Sense widgets.
Before you uninstall stuff, do a nandroid backup in CWM Recovery. Then backup the apps and uninstall them using Titanium Backup. If you're unsure about uninstalling an app, you can also freeze it in Titanium Backup to see if there is any adverse affect.
Dont uninstall,instead freeze unwanted apps using titanium backup.

Thanks to all of you. I guess Freezing is the way to go.
I flashed my ion with the latest at&t ICS then root it with bin4ry's method. It installed the superuser and I can uninstalled apps using the flashtool but when I try to uninstall through the phone I can't (tried it with apps then going to app I want to uninstall, instead of uninstall I only get disable). Am I missing a setting? I remembered when I flashed my phone with the international ICS I can simply uninstall all the apps I want.
Thanks in advance and thank you for all the guides and other things that makes this phone fun to use.
Actually even with international firmware there are some apps you can't uninstall through the settings -> apps menu. For those apps use something like root explorer and remove the apk manually in the system/apps folder. That removes it from your phone.

If you are trying to uninstall system or certain preloaded apps you need to use ti-backup from market. The /settings/apps program will only uninstall user apps not system apps

Uninstall Almost Any System App
Have you ever wanted to remove a system app?
To remove a system app you need to have:
1.Rooted Phone
2.Root Explorer(ex.ES File Explorer)
3.Custom Recovery(or ability to reset dalvik and cache)
4.Apps to Remove!
Let´s get started!
0.Make a backup of your phone just in case.
1. Remove the App´s data.Go to Settings/Apps/All/ and select the app.Then Clear Data and Cache.
2.Navigate with root explorer to /System/App/
3.Select the app that you want to delete and delete it!
4.Then Clear Dalvik and Cache(This will remove the app from the apps list)
5.And Voila! You removed a system app!

thanks for all the answers.
Do you guys know how to get rid of the "yp local search" from contacts? Also sometimes when I go to my contacts, it tries to retrieve an at&t address book.
Promise this is the last question. Thanks again
As Spec mentioned go to /system/app delete whatever you want by using root explorer or something similar

I have uninstalled all att apps and still have that in contacts. Now when I click it contacts force close. Might be built into att contacts apk. Maybe try the one from generic international
from my LT28at tweaked with Ice Cream all over it.
Using an app called Root app delete, I see that apps are divied into user apps and sytem apps. All of the bloatware I would like to remove is listed in user apps.
I assume any app in user apps is safe to remove (I have disabled them for a few days to be sure) - is this a safe assumption?
Also I learned that removing bloatware equals modding the ROM and that in principle you must restore them to recieve OTAs, but would this also be true if these apps are user apps and not system apps?
Thanks
User apps are generally safe to remove. If you want to recieve OTAs, you would have to restore it to the state it was when you recieved it.

i just updated my E4GT and installed Titanium Backup. The thing is that i went to convert to user app some bloatware apps but space available still the same even after reboot. My Question : is Android making ghost files to fill the space?

Since you have root, I would recommend using a root app remover that specializes in it. I'm not familiar with how TB does it, but your wording of "convert" has me confused as you should just want to remove the bloatware apps. PM me and I can give you some recommendations if you like.

When you convert an app from system to user its easier to get rid of remaining files, i used to do this with my Thunderbolt and then merging "Play Store updates" into rom and converting apps like Facebook into system apps. In Titanium you have options like "Convert to user app" and "Force remove app(by recovery exploit)" and it does uninstall bloatware and make some space in system partition, but in this case the available space is the same.
