Do you have root ?

Hi, Daneshm90, nice to see you here. I guess he has root, since both apps require root to run.
It's strange, because I use rootexplorer and I am able to delete the unwanted apps. however, I noted that if you boot into recovery, there are some messages saying installing default apk files (?) before the recovery screen came up.
Not sure if the recovery is restoring these apps.

Hmm my bad, didnt read his OP correctly. So he says he has rooted.
Perhaps he didn't press the r/w button in root explorer.
Op, check ur pm, ive sent u my app "Systemapp Remover", try it see if it works. If it does then buy it ;P

[Q] Root Explorer Help Needed

Long time lerker, first time poster. I have been active on AndroidCentral, but need help from the experts in XDA.
I am running Nookie Froyo off the card. Everything is running great except the google market is absolutely TERRIBLE. It is missing tons of apps. Therefore, I was going through the directions posted in the forum...i.e. change the build.prop file
I can open Root Explorer, then can open /system; but then I can NOT mount as rw. When I hit Mount as rw the button lights up but will NOT switch it to rw. Therefore, I can not rewrite the needed file. Any help? Ideas?
Any other options to get Market to show more apps?

Does Root Explorer have Superuser permissions? If so you might try wiping data with Titanium BU or uninstalling and reinstalling RE.

If I remember right, superuser is linked to busybox. Try going to Titanium BU and choose problems tab. Update busybox and see if that makes any difference. Grasping for straws here.

I assume you have tried rebooting. Other things maybe to try; run the fix permissions utility in Rom Manager (some have had new issues after this, most don't); Get the new market apk on the "themes and apps" forum if you don't have one and try to install it with root explorer from your download after a short press. Is your 2.1 stock or rooted? If rooted, pull your nookie card and try to update from 2.1. If none of those work, I would not have any other ideas. Good luck.
Had the same problem a while back. Installed busybox from the market and it seemed to fix Root Explorer. Maybe using Titanium Backup to get busybox isn't working. I'd try getting busybox straight from the market...

Since you are uninstalling default stock apps, anyway your warranty is going to void. Then why not install custom rom which doesn't have any of these bloatwares.
You could find one in development section.
ANDRO-ID v3.3 RC2 is the stable custom rom release till now.
If you want to remove only few specific apps and retain others which are absent in current Andro-id release then wait for few days, I will post a "how-to-build custom rom from stock " soon. Then you can remove any apps that you want add any apps / ui launcher as default system launcher.

Use titanium backup to selectively restore apps data that you want. but it would be better to have complete wipe before installing custom rom.

no no no a little bit wrong here ... chage it to r/w i.e read and write so you can edit the files mere being on r/o means u r in read only mode and here u cant delete
We can also do an adb and remove the apps from /system/data by using the command prompt in the system or Terminal in the phone?
I haven't tried it in my device yet. But I think this shud work.

[Q] how to remove Sconcau team app

I Flashed the JVZ+MOD.zip theme , and it didnt make any difference except for the fact that i have this stupid app now (Sconcau team), i cant delete it. I've tried in titanium where it restarts twice but on recovery it fails with E: failed to mount /dbdata then aborts the installation. and i have tired deleting the apk with super task manager but still no success.
i know its trivial , its just annoying me. i am currently using JVZ deodex/ext4 with Semaphore 2.1.1
Have you already tried to look in /system/app with root explorer or super manager?
yeah thats where the apk files are... its got [sys] next to it , so is there any other way other than titanium ?

Listen to what Coomb just told you. Have you got root explorer? If so you can delete any system apk.
Is it just the sconcau forum application you're trying to remove??
You should really be asking this question in the rom thread instead of posting here. I suggest you freeze app with titanium instead of deleting, until you know for sure what the app does. If your phone knackers when you freeze it, you know it's not safe to remove.
i get that , but isnt super manager the same as root explorer ??? thats why in the original post i said i've tried two ways ...
i'll try with root explorer,

Man you said you've tried with super task manager
for what I know that could just be a task manager, not a file manager o_o
Anyway you should try looking into /system/app as already stated, press the R/W button in the upper right corner and delete the .apk, if you know what you're doing of course. Cheers

How to uninstall FaceUnlock?

Hi guys,
I installed Android 4 via cyanogen mod and also installed face unlock. Well, it is funny and useless. Therefore, I would like to deinstall it. Is there a way to do so apart from flashing the rom again?
Thanks
......tapatalked
Install an app like Titanium or SystemApp Remover and unistall FaceLock.apk
Yes, you are right. This worked like charm!
Thanks for the quick reply...
......tapatalked
You can't really uninstall face unlock by just deleting the app, its not just an app. And this is dev section...post these things in q and a .
Okay?!
@mods: would you please move that thread to the q&a section?
......tapatalked
But in any case, could someone tell me please how to get rid of it?
......tapatalked
Go to system/app via root explorer and delete facekey.apk
U r kidding, right?!
Yes, I checked what you proposed but there is no such entry. I would assume that this is also the entry which is deleted from the apps menu....
......tapatalked
Sorry for pushing this up again. Do I need to flash from scratch again? I assume that the software fills the phone's memory without any use....

You have to use a ROOT Explorer app in order to see hidden files

If you use Titanium Backup Pro and remove that application, it will not fill your phone memory . This is my recommendation, but if you want to lose time and reinstall the ROM, this will actually fully remove it. Do it as you wish !
Ok, I checked that folder again in Root Explorer and the file is gone. Beforehand, I ensured that hidden files are displayed, too.
Thanks.

[Q] Stop OTA message nag

Im on the latest BadBoys 4.4.4 rom. I would like to remove the OTA nag. I've done it before but never on a new HTC. Usually you freeze or delete an app using titanium and delete the current ota from some system folder. I just cant find which program or folder to freeze/delete from.
Anybody know where/what I need to mod to get rid of this??
Thanks
just put a freeze on the "Updater" system app will take care of it.
I will try that. Thanks

No, I cound not find an "Updater" app in titanium or in System/app . However I did find a solution HERE .
When you look for the apps (I used ES file explorer) replace the "VZW" with "SPCS".
This worked like a charm for me :good:
