uninstall programs that does not show on add remove? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

i recently upgraded to a new rom, it came with lots of software which is really cool, but it is eating up my ram, anyone know how to manually uninstall those software?. they don't show in the add/remove too.

those programs are all a part of the ROM image and so you cannot uninstall them in that sense. If you're not happy with the ROM, try to flash a lite or clean ROM so you can then install just the apps you want. Alternatively, you can make your own ROM using the Kitchen:

After rom upgrade my Android has phantom apps

My MT3g thinks I have a couple dozen apps already installed that aren't already installed. When I go to the market to install one, it says "INSTALLED" if I click on it, I see the OPEN and UNINSTALL buttons grayed out. How can I get my android to stop being obstinate and let me either install or use the apps it thinks are installed?
Did you wipe before you flashed your rom?
I thought so! but apparently I didn't...
I thought Cyanogen had a script to fix this issue though but I can't find it. FixPermissions.sh or something.
Try and format your partition ext/2. I had to do that when switching roms to because apps weren't launching.
Anyone figure this out I'm having the same issue with my G1 with Cyan v4.1.9999????
Same issue after wipe/factory flash and rom upgrade

might be worth following eventually. I've tried using other file and package managers to try and remove the apps, but they aren't showing up anywhere but in the market as phantom apps with greyed out open/update and uninstall buttons.
If you can download the original installer from somewhere (google search), just install that, uninstall it, then install it from the market and that should fix the problem. That's what I did.

This method works... if you can find the apks. I thought backup for root users saved all apks. But apparently it doesn't for protected apps >.> and I can't find a few of them anywhere on the internet (or the download links don't work for me e.g. rapidshare)
So I'd be really grateful if anyone could upload these apks for me.

problem with Remove Programs in my X1

I met a strange problem. Whatever I installed on my X1, it didn't show in the list of Remove Programs. I have to use SKtools to uninstall software.
Does anyone know how to solve it?
Mod. edit: not t&a related, moved to general
strange, far as I remember all my installed apps where always properly listed in remove soft
can you tell what rom you are on and name some of the apps you use? might help getting feedback
I used stock rom -GR version.
Problem was happened after I install TF3DHB2 and panel for it (download from thread [Panels]Sense/TouchFlo3D, Titanium, SPB Mobile Shell, Androkkid, iFonz 2, Infinity ). Since TF3DHB2 doesn't work well, I uninstall it and install TF3DHB3. Then it is missing from list of Remove Programs. Software installed after can not be shown on the list except Spb mobile shell. I tried mortscript and it is missing too.

[Q] how can I see and browse the system folder

Hi, I just rooted my SG i9000 with odin.
So now I like to do stuff in my system folder (removing and replacing swype)
However, I can't seem to get in there.
This fix, by chainfire, should also have installed busybox, but I can't find this anywhere....it did install 'superuser'....with which I can't seem to do a lot.
So the question is, how can I see and edit stuff in the system folder?
Do I need to install some kinnd of app for this?
Yup u need an app. Download root explorer. Thats all u need.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I wouldn't recommend messing around in /sys if you don't know what you're doing.. If you want to just uninstall some stuff like bloatware that came with phone, try downloading titanium backup, you can uninstall system apps from there.
Also do verify before uninstalling that they're not critical

How to remove the residual waste?

How to uninstall the app mobile phone can clean up the remnants of the file.
Hard to help
if you have a custom ROM then after installing the ROM but before first boot run "Rom Cleaner"
This will remove all the bloatware you don't need - you will need to configure it first of course but it is quite simple to do
Just search for Rom Cleaner it comes with full instructions and is very good imho

[Q] About Customizing Stock ROM

Hello. I am using Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000, N7000ZSLR1, Android 4.1.2 Hong Kong version. There are something I am not quite satisfied with the ROM, I have rooted my device with Chinese one key root app so I wonder if there are some ways to customize the ROM.
1. The first thing is Notification screen. In this Android 4.1.2, when you pull it down, the shortcuts at the top will first display the tiles in picture 1, then it will automatically swipe to picture 2:
Picture 1:
Picture 2:
Is there any method that can modify / remove tiles at the top? Or at least make it like picture 2 in default when I pull down, no swiping.
2. In this ROM, the Task Manager no longer display in app drawer like Android 2.3.6, instead I need to long press Home button to go to "Recent App" screen and tap the pie chart icon at the lower left corner to open Task Manager. I'm curious, the system app is in \system\app, and it IS an .apk. So I wonder if I can at least make a shortcut from it and add to "Home Screen", I always need to use it and I don't want to download third party app for this shortcut.
Recent Apps screen:
View in ES File Explorer:
3. The default Launcher in the stock ROM is TouchWizHome, and by default there are no indication when you tap an icon to open the app. So I wonder if I can add some "effect" to notify me when I open an app, like dim the icon or glow at the edge of icon.
4. If you are a Titanium Backup user, please tell me that should I wipe system apps' data first before uninstall it. Because it always gives me a feeling of "unclean" if I don't wipe the data before uninstall it. I always uninstall system app to keep my phone slimmer and faster.
Thank you in advance.
first, to change anything with the user interface aka UI your rom must be deodexed, so you need to create a deodexed rom from this rom or look for it in a chinease android forum (defnitely you will find it).
once your rom is deodexed, you can flash one of AryaMod or Sweet rom mods to change the interface, i think most of them will work because of the same framework but make a full backup because they might not work.
if you only need to change the order of quick toggles in the notification panel i think you can do it from settings >> display
or you can make your own mods following one of the awesome guides in this forum but that will take you time and you may face bootloops

How about question 2 and 4?
2/ i think there is a resizable widget of the task manager, all you have to do is place it in your home screen and when you click on it it will open the task manager. i have no idea about how to make the task manager appear in the app drawer but sure there is a way to do it.
4/ yes i always use titanium backup to backup and restore my non-cloud-based apps but not from and to different android version. never restore for example apps that were backed up on jellybean to kitkat or any other android version cuz this will cause force-close and other problems. whenever you are going to install new rom just wipe /preload and /system (/data partition will be wiped automatically when you make wipe data - factory reset) this way you will leave no trace of old system apps data, config, cache or anything.
don't uninstall system apps just freeze them using titanium backup or directly from app settings if you are on ics or above. if you removed an important system app like google contact sync that you may think not important you may get force-close, unmounted storage, ui crash all the time and similar problems.
Hope i helped you

2/ ...Yes you think, but there is not, if it has then I'll place it at home screen from the start... I just want to know how to make that system app have a shortcut icon...
4/ But won't uninstall create more space for my system? I mean frezzing them will still occupy some space right?

It is just a safety procedure. Freeze the app and use your phone for a few days. If nothing funny happens go ahead and uninstall it to reclaim the space.
If you are absolutely sure the particular app you want to uninstall will not be needed anymore just uninstall it without going thru the freeze time.
