Hi to all!
I have unrooted my kf (beacause i had to restore it), but now i have the market of google and Go launcher hd and i can't uninstall them..
How can i do?
Thank you for your answer =)
You are unrooted... That's why you can't uninstall them. My guess is because they now reside inside /system/app/
But I could be wrong.

I rooted again but i can't remove the go launcher yet!
You may have to manually remove them from system, but first try going into settings then apps and seeing if it is in the list there

If you installed an app into the system folder you do need root to remove it.
Now that you are rooted see if you can find the launcher apk file in the system/apps folder using a file explorer such as es file explorer. If you delete that apk and restart the kindle the app will be uninstalled after boot.
Obviously be careful and make sure you are only deleting apps you have added yourself, and not ones that maybe important system apps

1) There isn't any market on my apps, i'll post you a screenshot
2) I can't remove the modified bootloader!
Hello there,
I have a sim-free htc one with with the original HTC rom. I rooted the phone (CWM and superSU) and confirmed successful root access with root checker.
I installed titanium backup because I wanted to get rid of the following applications.
7Digital
Facebook
Tweeter
Stocks
Deals
Kids mode
I successfully uninstall these apps with titanium backup. However if I power off or reboot the phone these applications re-install themselves.
Why is that happening?
Thanks,
Andrew

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?

Hello,
Thanks for the reply. No I haven't try renaming them or deleting them.
How do I do that? I am using root browser app.
In which folder are these applications installed?
Thanks

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.

I would use root tool box and check permissions as to RW-R-R and see if that helps...Just a thought..
tried that already.
no go.
Have you tried putting it in system/apps then change permissions to rw r r and then just reboot the phone?

Of course.
This has never happened before on any of my Samsung phones.
So thing to install it. Copy it into the system/app folder and set the correct permission. If you deleted the odex for of them then you'll need to get those too. Or use another launcher. Touchwiz launcher sucks anyways.

Nothing worked.
So I ended up doing a factory reset. and everything is working fine.
The funny thing is after the factory reset, none of the Samsung and AT&T bloat was on there., including My magazine and magazine.
Only Samsung apps were the health and S note / drawing.
That happen to me also when I did a factory reset one time, weird stuff.

So I downloaded the .apk and got the same did not install as the previous user and I'm fairly new to rooting, so would like to resolve this somehow without having to go back to stock and potentially re-root...thanks for your patience. I am using a SM-900V. Is the system when i just paste it into the base of my phone when connected to my computer? Also, how do I change permissions? I downloaded Root Toolbox free and don't see how to do it in there.

The system folder is accessed from root explorer or whatever you use. Can't access the folder on the computer. I have root explorer (paid) so I don't know about fixing permissions on your app.

You could use ES file explorer to install the apk also. I made a video on how to do this but it won't let me upload the file on here, its too large.
Here's some new downloads also.

Ok, so I bought Root Explorer and was able to transfer the MagazineHome.apk and the Lounge.apk into system/app and then I changed the permissions to rw-r-r, and then I rebooted. When swiping up from home screen I get no application installed and I also still get TW has stopped when I hit the home button while on the home screen. Another note is that when I rebooted, just about right away I got unfortunately my magazine has stopped. Any help from this point?

Go into system apps and delete the two, reboot, install them again and reboot. You could also try going into recovery if you have twrp installed or CWM and try fixing permissions after you re-install the apks again.

Well that's just odd. I just installed them on my phone and they did say not installed but after a reboot the app was there. Do you have unknown sources checked on in settings? Maybe try using es file explorer, its free.
I tried to remove gmail and chrome beta through titanium backup and my phone didn't reboot I had to flash clean ROM again.
I'm using the Microsoft outlook app and I like Firefox over chrome.
Is there a reason it won't reboot?
Should work fine without those apps.
Wonder why mine hung at the google screen when I deleted them

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------
are you still on stock? if so, your apps are probably odexed, and you would want to delete both parts of the app.
This is why I like to flash my own gapps. This way you can flash a minimal gapps. Banks basically has the play store and little else.

I was doing it through titanium back up. I did it through root explorer And it booted up just fine. What's funny is the others deleted fine through titanium back up but the google camera app made the phone not reboot.

i use banks gapps as well, and even tested them before he released them, but.. he still adds in more than i would like. and i still end up deleting system apks after a rom flash

I don't know what it is, but I dont trust using titanium for system mod stuff. I always prefer the manual root explorer method.

I agree. The only system things I restore with tibu are wallpaper, call log, and text messages.
i stopped using titanium backup when android 4.0 came out. and i stopped using titanium for backing up apps about a year before that. if its modding anything in the /system/ or in /sys/, then its done manually.

Well how do you back up your apps and bring all of the back exactly how they were on the other device. I got emulators and roms and stuff and it's easier to bring them back up using titanium back up. Is there a other app to use

I use tibu for apps, just not system apps and data except those I listed previously. I never have a problem this way. Restoring system apps/data with tibu has always caused me problems.

generally, i dirty flash everything(no data loss that way). i do make a nandroid backup in my recovery, just in case the dirty flash goes bad. but they never go bad. if you do have issues after a dirty flash, its usually app related, and clearing that apps data usually fixes things. but the times i do wipe, google is pretty good about restoring what i need
Has anyone been able to restore their apps via titanium? I backed up all my apps from 5.1.1 and when I try to restore on 6.0 titanium crashes. Any suggestions are welcome, thanks.
It worked for me. but I wait until all applications install from Google backup, then let TB restore the data.
TB is acting up. I suspect that something has changed in the way 6 treats /storage/emulated/legacy where TB searches for the license and its backups.
Change your backup folder location to /mnt/sdcard/titaniumbackup

Should work.
#TitaniumBackup 7.2.3 released: initial Android 6.0 support, XML Wi-Fi EAP (id+pwd), fixed Greenify FC. ChangeLog: http://bit.ly/1Me81dY
Yeah TB is being a bit funky at the moment on Marshmallow. Make sure you have full root access (I tested by trying to install busy box) before troubleshooting TB. Tread carefully and I would second making fresh installs of program files and only restoring program data when necessary.

Yep, just notified from the Play store. TB Working well so far...
I did a full TB backup with 5.1.1 on v7.2.2 and have installed and rooted 6.0.0 on nexus 5. Restoring does not work on either v7.2.2 or v7.2.3. I have even tried changing backup location to mnt/sdcard etc.
Restore of SMS worked, but apps just get stuck at 0%.
I have a feeling I might have to restore my TWRP backup of 5.1.1 and try another method. Unless anyone has any bright ideas?
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers
You have to manually enter folder location as it won't find it on its own.

I tried this and did not fix; still hangs on restore of apps.
On the otherhand restore of data works in apps that were installed by the play store.
In the SuperSu 2.50 forum one post mentioned having an issue with busybox (affecting TB) due to lack of space in the /system partition. He deleted some files and said it helped. I don't know if I'm ready to start deleting things until I'm sure that is the problem.

Restore of app+data hangs indefinitely for me. Restore of data alone does not work: TB segfaults.
Same problem here. Backup works but tibu seems to be unable to write. I can't use tibu to move Google system apps to user either, so the advice in the SuperSU 2.5 forum doesn't help me, saw that earlier. With only 16mb free in system I tried to install busy box, and the install end reporting it was successful, but on the about tab it is still reporting bb not installed. So it's possible SuperSU not really doing its job.

Here's another solution for people who are stuck trying to restore apps. Choose the option to "Create update.zip from app+data backups". Then restore that through TWRP. I just did that and it works fine.
It's quicker and easier to switch kernels if that is causing the problem though. I'm sure this will all be fixed soon enough.
Thanks everyone for the help. I think I'll try the create update zip that cmo220 suggested. seems the easiest. If that doesn't work I'll try another suggestion. I'll let yall know how it goes.

you have to make a back up first, then you can make the update.zip. if you dont, its empty, and wont work. its in the same options where you make the backup, just lower

this is a very odd problem. im on 2.49 and have no issues
also, i had an "out of space error" originally, but it turned out to be because i didnt clean wipe before upgrading to M and system RW wasnt enabled.
Update.zip worked for me. You must boot after ROM after install, set it up, then go back and install the update.zip in twrp. And simms22 is right about the zip creation. Thanks all.
