First of all, LP is a topic that can't really be discussed here, since it's against the warez part of the forum rules.
If you want to uninstall a system app and you do have root, you can do it via a root explorer (with MiXplorer for example). Just go to the root folder "/" then find the system folder. And you app will be in a folder inside the app or priv-app folder. "/system/app/your app" or "/system/priv-app/your app"
Delete the entire folder of your app once you found it, then reboot, and that should do it.
Remember that uninstalling system apps may brick your device (if you uninstall the wrong ones), but you want to uninstall the stock videoplayer so I don't think it is a problem.

I installed BBC iPlayer(dont ask me why ) from the market - and now it just wont go away. Uninstalling leads to "Uninstall failed"(Avinstallationen misslyckades). Tried forced stop, cleaning data, empty cache...
Any idea how to force removal of this program?
Very glad for help!
/Scrammy
If you are rooted, go to the data/app folder and delete the file called bbc.iplayer.android-1.apk. Then reboot.
isnt there

Weird. Mine is installed in data/app. Maybe that's why you can't uninstall it, if it thinks it is a system file. Are you rooted, if so, you could try Titanium backup to remove. failing that... go for it, it shouldn't harm your system to manually delete that app. Just make sure it has the same name as the one I posted above.
UK phones come with it pre-installed so it might be in the system/app folder (need root explorer).
There's your answer then. Thanks for the info artesea.
Solved!

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.

Take root explorer and go to system/apps and delete 3dcamera apk and all fine. Gallery dissapears after that to.
this method dont hide that app, its DELETING this app.

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.

Case closed
are there any way to freeze any system application without uninstall?
Does any one use root uninstall?
is it possible to rename file in system/app/ .apk to .backup
Thanks in advance to everyone..
1) Titanium Backup usually used to freeze apps effectively.
2) Root Explorer can be use to rename apk file and preventing it from running. I normally rename apk to rem. No reboot is required as it work immediately after rename done. If you ever need the app run again, just rename it back to apk and it run again.
Thanks so mutch....i think this question will be useful for everyone...
so...only one doubt....is it necessary to remve the relative file in data/data and in data/dalvik-cache??
Not need to remove anything if you're only want to freeze it or disable it like what I mentioned above.
thanks....i will try immediatly
I think,,, rooted device can use R.E renname the *.apk files (/system/app, /data/app)

Hey guys if I'm posting this in the wrong section delete it
I've been trying to find an app for rooted devices to allow you to permantly remove system apps but haven't managed to come across 1 yet :/ does anybody know if there's an app that does this? What do you use?
I've seen the story's about the root managers etc but alot of people say the come back after a reboot?
Thanks dudes

All you really need to do is delete the corresponding *.apk file in /system/app. I'm not 100% sure what the current android install process is, there might be some sort of registry system or framework installation that takes place elsewhere among the system; but deleting the .apk file has always worked fine for me.
-----
To do this you first have to have root access, which I assume you have. You then need to remount /system as r+w (read and write access, by default the /system mount is read only). You can do this with many an app from the Android Marketplace, just search for "remount".
This will then allow you to use your favorite root-enabled file browser, be it a terminal on your phone or something entirely different, to browse to /system/app and remove said *.apk file.
Let me know how you get on.
you must be rooted...and you can download any file explore to delete them
Edit: tolate he has better explanation

Titanium Backup is the best choice. Make a backup of it first, then delete it. That way it'll save you a headache when you delete phone.apk by mistake.
Titanium backup is bull**** when removing system apps... It just freezes.... Try root uninstaller (free from market).. It takes seconds to uninstall system apps...

bull****? have you tried the uninstall option and actually looked through /system/app? I'm pretty sure the .apk you just uninstalled has disappeared.
but anyway, there are a number of ways to do this as the others above have helpfully explained

I'm rooted with latest Magisk but it's not possible to delete system apps by using root explorer, even when mounted R/W.
Is there a trick or do i have to use TWRP?

Only trick I know is to download Titanium Backup for Android and give it Magisk root approval.
Use it to delete apps.
Take note: I have destroyed several 100% stock Oreo setups by removing system apps. Have not narrowed it
down to which apps caused that. But be ready for it to never reboot followed by flashing the entire system again.
Hm, I don't understand why it's not possible to delete system apps or folders (in fact apk kan be deletetd, but folder not),
You can delete them in TWRP, but be careful on which apps you delete because as already mentioned in this thread, you can be stuck with an unbootable system.
I'm planning on creating a custom flashable zip for myself that removes certain apps, changes the font, and boot animation in one go; just to streamline the process after I factory reset & update every month.
I can delete the APK by using ROOT EXPLORER, but I'm not able to delete the folder of the app.
Strange, on all other devices that was never a problem
Just freeze what you dont want. What did you want to get rid of anyways?
