uninstall att application

i already use one click root to root my captivate, but could any tell me how to uninstall att apps? or install apps that are not from market?
cuz i am not able to do so.
when i went to application management, there is no uninstall button under att apps.
and when i went to install apps that are not on market place, it is still said "for securtiy your phone is set to block installation of applications not sourced in adnroid market."

You will have to root your phone and use titanium backup to remove the AT&T apps. To allow side loading apps, aka those not in the market, you will have to modify the settings.db on your phone. There are posts that cover both of these items throughout the forum, just do some searching and you should be able to find them.

Titanium backup to uninstall apps. Can be found on market. Make sure you know what you are doing before you get rid of something. Do not delete gtalk, talk, por just about anything google

Nope, root only gives you access to SuperUser, which application like Titanium Backup use the superuser privileges to modify locked in items like AT&T bloatware.

[Q] Min reqs for app install

I have recently purchased the GT-P1000 in Kuwait. It's unlocked but I don't have admin rights to it. Initially, there was no Android Market but I found the fix for that in another post.
My current dilemma now is I can't seem to get apps to install. The downloads will pause themselves and never install the application. I've had this happen to Angry Birds and Robo Defense.
As of now, I have no desire to flash this device. AFAIK, it's 3g voice/data straight out of the box and I don't want to risk losing those features.
Now, the question is, what's the bare minimum I need to do so I can install apps from Android Market and remove unwanted apps?

So I feel like an idiot now. For some reason, I can now get the apps to download and install: Angry Birds, Robo Defense, ES File Explorer, and Dropbox have installed successfully.
I still would like to remove some apps and install some that will need root access. Can someone confirm that if I root the phone that it won't affect the 3G data/voice capabilities?

ROOTING only gives you su (superuser admin) rights to your phone. It doesnt affect your phone or device functions (unless you mess around somewhere). Rooting gives you ability to access files or functions that vendor has it locked out from you. Sort of like jailbreaking the iphone.
Flashing roms is another thing. Some roms have no support to some functions But since you already own an unbranded non carrier GSM and Not CDMA tab. You shouldnt really worry.

all samsung tabs are different...so in lots oof countries they made some differnces in possibilties.
Try out by going to my weblog and after registering to download thje apks you find in the download section.
Best is to download this on another laptop..and copy the apk to the micro sd card in a folder with your name
then withe a file manager clck on the apk to see if they install
not working.....then you need to root your samsung to make it work

thanks for the info. I didn't think rooting would break anything but my paranoia got the best of me.

I rooted my phone yesterday and was able to install and run apps that need SU rights. I'm still havin trouble removing the apps that came with the Tab. Thoughts anyone?
FYI, I can uninstall apps that I've downloaded from the market.

Oho. stock apps cannot be uninstalled. Simplest way to uninstall stock apps is to use Titanium Backup Pro. Before you do that, be sure you backup the app in case you need it again later.

[Q] Deleted SecCalendarProvider.apk and now calendar doesnt work on M8

Before I state the problem, I would like to say this is self inflicted and I should have been more careful. But hindsight is 20/20.
I recently got an M8. Rooted, TWRPd it, and deleted a bunch of bloatware (or so I thought) using the TWRP File Manager. In the process, I think I deleted the Calendar Provider service apk. Now my calendar doesnt work and I randomly get this message your Exchange service has stopped unexpectedly eventhough, my exchange email is coming through.
I was a dummy and didnt do a backup thinking I am only deleting a bunch of unwanted stuff. What can I do now. I tried downloading some version of this SecCalendarProvider.apk from the internet and put it in the system/apps folder but nothing has changed. I dont think it even got started.
What can I do at this point? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

This section is for HTC One (M7)

go to the M8 forum and request an apk for that file and see if you can copy it back to your phone. you will need a file explorer with root access.
For future tinkering, use a program like Titanium Backup that allows you to "freeze" and backup apps, in addition to deleting them.
You can freeze suspect apps which will remove them from being seen in the OS, but it won't delete them. If no problems occur after a while, you can safely delete it. But if you discover a problem, you can "defrost" the file and you are good again. you can also make backups of apps before deleting them.

Thanks. I will do just that.

[Q] Rooted and can't delete stock apps

I just rooted the Exhibit 4G with root-stock leaving the stock rom in place. Root shows as successful. I have tried to delete a couple of stock apps - Tel Nav (which is no longer supported) and TMobile TV. I have tried doing this with several different root app uninstall apps including ES File Explorer and DU Speed as well as two specifically root uninstall apps. All have asked for SuperUser access. Either it comes up as Uninstall Failed or it says it will delete updates and leave the original app for use. Both apps are still on the phone - and seem to be without updates as they both start as if new.
What am I doing wrong? I want to free up internal phone memory. Please help. Any guidance appreciated.

I was able to get it to work with Titanium Backup. Now all seems fine.

Uninstalling bloat apps not working

Hey all!
I am absolutely new to the rooting world (last time I used a rooted phone was circa 2009/2010) so please bare with me, I am have a world of trouble with getting the bloatware apps uninstalled from my phone. HTC u11, I installed twrp, I installed magisk, I tried to uninstall the apps, no dice, I then grabbed one of the apps out there for removing system apps, I gave it root, it failed.
I'm hoping to get to the linux subsystem to see if I can get a jdk running on this. I'm trying to make a dev box I can use while hiking (all with a microphone and finger tracking keyboard). But the first pebble becomes a stumbling block. How to actually get root and act as an elevated user in android.
Anyways I think I'm missing something and maybe I missed a piece in the documentation since I did kinda fly through it.

There are a few ways to remove bloatware.
You can delete them in TWRP.
You can delete them with a root capable file explorer.
You can delete them with Titanium Backup.
You can delete them with an app that's been made for the purpose.
If one of the above doesn't work, try another.
You can also pseudo-debloat by using a Magisk module that simply systemlessly "removes" them. They'll still be there, taking up space, but you won't be able to access them in any way (until the module is uninstalled). I don't think this is what you want...
Doing it in TWRP should always work.
With MagiskSU, I've personally tested it with both a root file explorer (FX) and TiBu. But, YMMV...
Purpose made apps might or might not work. It depends if they're properly updated or not.
