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.

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.

Kifno did you try reflashing your rom again you shouldn't loose any settings or apps.Also you could try uninstalling superuser and reinstalling it,or don't know which recovery you are using but you could try fix permissions.

Hey i just rooted my Optimus 2x and removed two system apps with Titanium Backup Pro..
before that i made a backup of the apps with Titanium backup, but there is just one problem, it only made a backup of DATA not the APP....
so now i have removed the CAR HOME APP and F-Secure APP and don't have backup...
my question is....
Do I have a problem, if i need to make a hard reset with VOL + HOME, POWER. when im missing those system APPs ??
No problem
@dk_iceman
What did you do to remove f-secure? Could you please provide a very short summary of what you did? I'm curious if it's really enough to remove the apk? And what do you mean by data? After a restart of the phone, did the app really disappear?
thanks!

you can just use ADB to push the apk's back on your system if you want.
Odd. For some reason i cant mount system as rw with adb "remount failed: Operation not permitted"
But you can just put the apk's on your sd card in stead and then copy them to system/app using root explorer
Duplication

Open the SuperUser app and "forget" the entry "unknown" then:
Code:

And you'll get prompted on the phone screen to allow root access.

Yeah... my bad... just realised that 2 mins ago... was about to post.
So if you take a backup with titanium backup, it will not backup the app. And if you delete apps, with titanium backup are they removed completely from the ROM/ROOT, and a factory reset will not bring them back?
Man just deleted F-secure, SNS, App advisor and the live wallpapers, with titanium backup, and these will not come back if I make hard reset, does anyone have the SNS 1.0 and the Christmas/Firework live wallpapers?

Download my rom dump, extract files and just copy files back with root explorer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987989
You should user soft "SystemApp Remover" to remove app you want. This is very cool app . There are many bloatware you can remove.
Another way to disable apps is to use Titanium backups "freeze" or the "disable" with adb. Both prevents the app from running BUT leaves it intact and give you a possibility to restore all apps with a hard reset.
Here is a guide from Paul at Modaco:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8633061&postcount=1
Basically its use adb to run a PM command:
pm disable com.Apps.apps (change the file name to the apk you want to disable.
Note: titanium "freeze" do same thing
I've made backups with Titanium Backup and synced them with my dropbox account. But when i look at what he saved i can see the apk files. So i'm not really sure but it looks to me like he also saved the app itself and not only the data.
update:, hmmmm i just looked at the content of my backup dir in dropbox and it seems like he didnt send the system apps. So if you want to restore them you have to use the system dump. Or back them up yourself.

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to tweak this Stock rom because i don't wanna install mostly broken custom roms where i can't use apps i want (installed from market).
I was just wondering that which system apps can be uninstall from LG Optimus 2X for not being worried about any errors or so?
I have uninstalled now sns, wallpapers, most of widgets i don't need but can i remove remotecall app? Do i need it for makeing calls, sending sms or connecting to mobile network, wifi or Bluetooth?
Or is google quick search necessary for some apps?
and what about Smartshare, talk, voicesearch or voicerecorder?
Please answer to this if you have time and knowledge of these apps!
Thank you in advance!
Just out of curiosity, why dont you guys just install a clean Vanila ROM?
Wouldn't that be easier as it will not contain any of LG's software/modifications etc?
Not trying to be a smart alec here, just wondering that's all.
I got my 2X today and I want to install a clean Vanila ROM and have posted a thread asking for help as to how to go about doing it.
I'm currently using Launcher Pro which works a treat and the ROM itself seems very fast but I just hate the tweaks to the Messaging apps and also all the bloatware.
Or do you guys just find LG's software useful?
Cheers
How to fix it?
I was trying to install Root Explorer for open read only in system folder but after installed then open, some word appear like this The application Root Explorer (process com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Update your RE to 2.17 and your su-app and su-binary to the newest versions.
It wil,l work, and if it´s not responding or you get FCs, enable the feature to kill apps by holding the back-button in the app-settings and kill the app by pressing and holding the back buttonm and the next time, it will open without any problems!
If not, just try it again, and again, and if it still doesn´t work after five attempts, uninstall it and install it again.
You could also try to delete the app´s log in the su-app.

I've seen people mention this before and for some reason I seem to think it has something to do with the read/write ability of partitions? I'm probably completely wrong lol but anyways, have you tried deleting them or renaming them with a .bak at the end, using something like Root Explorer?

Hi,
If I'm not wrong you need a custom kernel with write protection disabled, you'll find them in the devellopment sections... It depends on the Android version you have actually, for 4.1.2 there is a totally stock kernel with write protection disabled, if you are on 4.2.2, try Bulletproof kernel close (or the closest) to stock.
Or take a look here: [KERNEL MODULE]Disable system write protection on stock kernel.

If that's true then your better off using the stock Kernel from ARHD because that's 4.2.2 and you can 100% delete and rename system apk's ... Personally I'm not a huge fan of custom Kernels.

Download an app like Root Explorer and navigate to "system/app" ... All the system apps are listed here. You can rename them so that they won't run after a reboot but there still there incase you want to revert back, or you can delete them. In Root Explorer you just have to long press on the apk and a list of options will pop up, 2 of which are rename and delete.

If that's true then your better off using the stock Kernel from ARHD because that's 4.2.2 and you can 100% delete and rename system apk's ... Personally I'm not a huge fan of custom Kernels.

Hello guys,
Thanks for the help, I will try first to rename the apps and if that does not work I will try to disable system write protection on stock kernel.
I will post the results.
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi,
If I'm not wrong you need a custom kernel with write protection disabled, you'll find them in the devellopment sections... It depends on the Android version you have actually, for 4.1.2 there is a totally stock kernel with write protection disabled, if you are on 4.2.2, try Bulletproof kernel close (or the closest) to stock.
Or take a look here: [KERNEL MODULE]Disable system write protection on stock kernel.

viking37 thank you very much for pointing me to the right direction. I used this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.timos.htconerw and worked like a charm.
