Hi, does anyone know how to permanently delete pre-installed AT&T softwares from Vivid?
I am able to root it temporarily by following the instruction here and delete the pre-installed softwares through RootExplorer and SysAppRemover. However, once it is rebooted and lost temp root, the softwares are back automatically.
You just answered your own question. Without perm root we are not able to do much of anything yet
Edit: not trying to be rude, just frustrated with our situation

While you cannot permanently delete the pre-installed AT&T APPs and widgets, you can permanently disable or freeze them using the temporary root.
The APPs and widgets remain disabled even through the full reboot, including a battery pull.
See my post here for the detailed instructions with which to disable common bloatware.
Thanks, I will be able to edit the bat file and keep the app I want.

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.
Hello All,
I have unlocked my bootloader and rooted my HTC One with Supersu.
I have used a few different programs like Root Uninstaller or Titanium Backup to try and remove the bloatware apps from my phone. It says the app is uninstalled. Then if I restart the phone they re-appear. I have been digging around the forums and suspect this may be due to the S-On function.
Could someone help explain this to me and how I remove these correctly.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Reece
I'd recommend freezing the apps with Titanium, rather than uninstalling. It should fix your issue with apps reappearing.

Thanks if you know I would also like to know how to remove these and why these would be re-appearing. Just for my understanding.
because you said maybe it was related to s-on here is a video how you become easely s-off.

theres a system partition within the phone that isnt really allowed to be touched. for some reason certain apps hang around in that area. some custom roms like viperONE have the option to turn these system partitions the R/W which is read write. this will allow you to remove the apps permanently.
I'd like to completely remove unwanted apps such as dropbox, 7digital, and wechat from HTC One. How can I do it?
When I did it, it only uninstalled the updates but no the app.
Thank you.

If you're rooted, etc. you can uninstall them with a file explorer such as ES File Manager. You can also use ROM Cleaner here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2247656&highlight=rom+cleaner
If you're not rooted, I don't think you can remove them.

On a non-rooted phone, if you're lucky, you can only hide the apps from the appdrawer.
In order to completely remove unwanted apps, you will need rood access.
The easiest way to uninstall an app completely would be to use Titanium Backup. Simply removing the apk from /system/app will also result in a remove, however the data part might still be on the phone.
You need to gain root access to your phone first. Then use a file explorer, or Titanium Backup to remove any unwanted programs.
If this is your first time rooting a device, try THIS application. I usually don't recommend toolboxes, or programs that gain root for you, but I had incredible success with this one just testing it.
Just be warned, that no one here can give any guarantee that the process will work without any problems.
If you're flashing custom ROMs then the best way, IMO, is to delete anything you don't use, straight from the ROM ... That way when you install the ROM you will be free of the garbage without having to do anything else ... Like mentioned previously though you will require root access to delete system apps.

i (like you) hate these bloatwares, i install ARHD 12.2 (ROM) and before you install it it give you an option to remove them, even Google Now, Maps, Youtube, ,,etc
it also gives you Volume wake to power ON your device with Volume keys
a+ answer! i totally agree with this. i use titanium backup as well.

A special thanks to thecubed for providing us with root access! See his thread here:

Following is a list of system apps I have removed without affecting apparent stability or performance. Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage you inflict upon your device, proceed at your own risk. I backed up complete copies of my system app folders, and rebooted after each uninstall in case I ran into trouble. I used the uninstall function of Rom Toolbox, and have heard of similar results using Titanuim Backup (including the inability to completely remove the Facebook entries without further intervention.)
Facebook
Instagram
Pages Manager
Lookout
Messenger (Facebook)
Snap Page
com.facebook.system
com.facebook.appmanager
The "com.facebook" entries were a little trickier. When attempting removal they would just downgrade to the factory-installed version, then after a reboot they immediately update themselves silently in the background. I had to remove the folders that held the original versions the apps were reverting to, then remove them again. I have never seen what should be an optional social media app so stubbornly intalled as a system app! Here are the directories I found the originals in:
/system/app/com.facebook.appmanager
/system/priv-app/com.facebook.system
/system/priv-app/lookout
After deleting these folders using a root file explorer (ES File Explorer) I was able to run root uninstalls with Rom Toolbox. I didn't remove anything connected to LG's services, Google's services, or the stock launcher. Only the apps that should have been optional to install in the first place. I hope this helps get some other users started making use of our new root access!

Thanks for this guide
I deleted a lot more than both you guys but I'm going to leave it as it is because without TWRP it's really playing with fire.

I'm really interested in that list.... My phone didn't have, half the apps they mentioned. Sprint Ls991. A screen shot...if possible... so you don't have to type all the apps.
I didn't document which apps I deleted. If you send me a list of apps you are wondering if they are safe to remove I will let you know if I deleted it.

You can do that compeltely with root, by erasing the file from your root folder, or you can hide the app via adb and without root. In both case the app won't show up, but if you reset your phone the app will come back if you used the adb method.
Every apps can't be uninstalled/hiden without troubles. Some apps are necessary to your phone, but if you're talking about preinstalled facebook or something like that then no problem.
If you're not sure tell me what app you want to remove, I'll tell you if it's cool or not.
Here's an article on how to do it with adb:
