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

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

thank all, i got root explorer but when i try to use the "r/w" it does not react... continue to be "r/o"... seem strange...
does anyone know a version of titanium which can function and uninstall them accordingly ? thanks
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.

I tried reinstalling RE. I will try the wiping data route.....
No luck with wiping data. Any other ideas?
Are other apps, like SoftKeys, getting superuser permissions?

If you haven't already, may try going into Superuser and forget RE. Open it back up and allow.

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...
this was built in with elite 1.2 ics rom , this morning it is saying it has run out and when i try to update it via google play it errors on me

if your mobile is rooted download root explorer then go to data\app then delete it from there .... and you didnt find it there you will find it in system\app and delete it from there and make a restart and you may re-install it
Or search in play store for root uninstaller,those apps can uninstall system apps.
But rootexplorer is the best file manager.also for modifying flashable zips like roms or theme where u want to delete or add apps in the rom.just extract and zip it up when u are finished modifying the rom.
If u delete the apps directly from system/apps then use "SDmaid"(app from play store) to clean out crap, leftovers from apps u delete.
thanks for quick reply , after getting root explorer on and changing permissions for solid explorer i finally managed to delete it
but now it will not install from Play...it says "error - incompatible update ?
shall i just stick with root explorer ?

i deleted it from system app like you advised
so went to play and had install option so i clicked install then that error came up

reflashing is not the solution . try oi file manager it is awesome
will do !
thx again for your time
Yeah, stick with rootexplorer, clearly the best, oi manager is also good, but in my opinion it lacks some of the features rootexplorer got.
If u want an innovative filemanager, then try androexplorer, there is a free version without root and zipping, but u get the idea what it's about with the free one and read on how to use it. I use it for moving files around.
haha guess wot..... elite 1.3 came out yesterday so i updated & flashed and OI is now the new file manager
sorted !!
thanks for your help guys, appreciated

Likely you got install failed because it's a system app. That's my guess. Try this instead. If you have a way of using titanium back up on a device where tenderloinparts works, use Ti to back up the app. Take the back up files from that device and move it to your Oats one. From there, drop it into your Ti backup folder. Then have Ti restore the tenderloinparts.
System APK
Well, I didn't exactly follow your advice, but once you pointed out that it was likely a System App, I installed with Root Explorer by copying to \system\app and setting rights to -rw-r-r then reboot and now it works!

Good day, friends.
First of all, sorry for my poor English, i`ll try to speak shortly.
I have Xperia T LT30p running on stock f/w 7.0.A.1.303, bootloader is factory locked, rooted with this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460) method.
I deleted some apps from SYSTEM/APP folder throug ROOT EXPLORER, not so much, i deleted Chrome, asian keyboards, power-saving mode and something else, APKs deleted successfully, they are no longer existing in SYSTEM/APP folder, but to my surprise the programs that i deleted are still in the system, they are still on phone, i see them in general menu, they are not deleted at all, and they are running and successfully workable! Maybe you can help me, how can i completely delete the apps that i don`t need ? Only the asian keyboards are deleted, i can`t choose it in text input.
Thank you.
Download titanium backup from the market and use that to delete system apps on a rooted phone

Using titanium backup is the normal way I do it...all I can imagine is that you are deleting the apk but if it is already installed it may have some other files linked elsewhere...
Also, make sure you have the system/app folder as R/W not R/O.

SYSTEM/APP is on r/w, of course.
This is strange, because APKs are deleted, 100%, and only the links can`t make the program works propertly, but they are working!
But anyway, i`ll try to do like you said.

If I remember correctly, there is another folder in system somewhere ( I think on x10 it was system/user/app/customization) where the system will install user apps from, if they have not been deleted from here too they will be reinstalled! Try this: pick one of they apps you could not get rid of and use root explorer to "search" for the apk name, that will show you the locations.
I am quite sure once you have deleted the one in customization it will not come back once uninstalled.
