[Q] Remove Factory Apps

I would like to remove some of the factory installed apps on my Galaxy Tab7.
It has gingerbread 2.3.3 installed and has been rooted. I also have the free version of Titanium Backup installed.
I found one thread talking about this issue, but no explaination on how to remove the apps.
Thanks.

Systemappremover can do this for you.

Just click on the app you want to remove and there is a pop-up with options : freeze, uninstall...ect. Be careful in doing so, the system may be unstable if you remove certain apps. Or you can just freeze them, less risky.
Hope it helps.
Edit : sorry I misread your post, I don't know if you can do it with the free version, I doubt it.

You should be able to freeze these apps in Titanium Backup. My recommendation would be to freeze the erroneous apps in favor of removing them, or at the very least back them up first and copy to a safe place.

your correct

I need to use paid version.
Thanks.

While I do personally advocate purchasing the app, as for me it has been one of the most important pieces, it seems odd to me that you can't freeze/uninstall in free mode.
If you have the SDK you can use a command prompt in ADB to remove/rename them. But, that takes a little bit of knowledge of both the commands and the file structure.
Therefore, my suggestion is to shell out the $5 for pro.

yea...quit being so cheap!

download root uninstaller free from market, it puts the apps in quarantine and if u remove an app that makes fc's u just put them back in the program, free fast and safe

I bought Titanium Backup.
I freeze the apps I don't want to use and all is well.
Thanks.

Way to force market to update system apps?

Hi there,
yesterday I had to manually update Adobe Flash for using it along Opera Browser since for stine reason it wasn't working with the stock Flash player included in the system.
Surprisingly Market was showing it as an update when I searched for it, but it wasn't notifying me for the update for some reason, and the same happens for SuperUser, when I search for it its shown like an update, but it isn't notified as one.
Its there any way to force Market to update the apps contained in /system?

1. Go to Market
2. Go to My Apps
3. Tick: allow autoamtic updates on the apk's you want.

That's the problem, apps like Adobe Flash or SuperUser aren't listed in the "My Apps" section of Market and until I do manually search for those apps I don't know if there are updates or not.

Have you tried titanium backup? I think market doctor from main menu may help.

Its possible, then apply advice from above post.
If still will not work, then you have to go to each app individually.
For example, whn you will manually go to superuser on market, you shall still see options 9if no update is available): Open, uninstalll, and below: allow automated updates.

If these apps are not listed in "My Apps" you have to install them one time manually from the android market than they will be there in "My Apps" and you will get the update notifications..
If you install apps from other sources and not via market, they wont get listed in "My Apps" and you wont get update-notifications..

LOL I'm the opposite of OP right now. All my apps that are waiting to be upgraded would be infected with Airpush spam if I decided to upgrade them in the market...

[Q] Lost my Note FM Radio App

Dear All
I used Titanium Backup Pro to freeze both FM Radio app( the stock app) and the installed Accue weather app to stop them from keep them running in the background and eating memory , and I thought that when I need to run them I just hit the app to run, (this is what I thought and do not know if this is correct or no!!)
So I found that both apps are disappeared from my note, so I went to Titanium to defrost them. but after a success defrost I did not find them, so I made a restart and did find them, so I tried to make a restore but I did not find the FM Radio in the apps list since I did not made a backup for it, so how I can get it back
and also I made a restore for accue weather app but I did not find it after the restore
What is wrong

U on stock rom ? If you want i can put up the TiB files for you and you can put them in your sd card and restore using TiB. Also remember to push the app as a system app otherwise they wont work.
Cheers! Enjoy your Note.
Hit thanks if it helped!

It may be due to incompatibility of TB versions. If that is the case, do a power defrost of ALL frozen apps -> Go to batch, power defrost, reboot your device. After that you can manually freeze your unwanted apps one by one.

Idid the power defrost, and I found them back, thanks
Now , was what I did right but the results were wrong because of incompatibility of TB versions, how usually the freeze feature works?

Nothing wrong on your part. It is TB's issue between updates and that is how to tackle the problem. From now on you can normally freeze/defrost your apps.

thanks for your replay, I mean is it normal that when you freeze an app it will be disappears from the apps drawer? i tried now another app for a test and found that after freeze it disappeared, so how I can stop any app from working in the background but I can run it when I want only?

Yes, it is normal. As far as I know you can't stop any app from working in the background, unless you can find that option within the app itself.

so freeze is like delete the app without uninstall it, and when you want it back you just defrost it

Exactly. It will stop the app running in the background or even foreground. Always remember to check what you are freezing. If you freeze any system app which is required by system or some other app then the system or that app will start giving you force closes.

Uninstalled an app, now get 'insufficient storage available' when i try to re-install

I installed FPSE, and then uninstalled it after having problems, but now I cannot install either the version I downloaded, or the version from the store. Both tell me I have insufficient storage space available, even though I have well over a gig free.
Also I am able to install other things.
Any ideas?
I am using Gingerbread 2.3.6, rooted..
Just redid the procedure with Odin to root, just in case that might clear something, but no...

Use some Root Browser to check your system folder to see if you have available storage space. Sometime the old files are not deleted and they fill up the storage space. If this is the case you need to format the system folder before you can install anything.

I had the same problem too,after I uninstalled N.O.V.A. 3 and can't install it back.But other apps has no problem of installing.

SD maid from Playstore might help here^_^.
Contrary to the name, it clears cache and left over data and logs from the phone internal and external memory.

If you have another Android device, you can force the app back on your phone.
1) Install app on other device
2) Make Titanium Backup of app on other device and send it to your phone
3) Open Titanium Backup on phone and go into preferences; change restore location to external storage
4) Restore app backup from other device
5) After restoring app, go into Settings -> Applications and move the app from SD to phone
6) Now app is installed on phone just as if you installed it normally and you can change your Titanium Backup restore location back to default

Try to clear cache and data from the store.

Easy, uninstall the app first, then go /data, search the app name, like "titanium" or the package name, sth like com.xxxxxx.xxx, should have that name.odex or any other, delete it, but make sure its correct name of coz, after u deleted the file in /data, u can install it again
But yea, like the above user say, it usually appear in crack app, if so, do the purchase mate

You must have some leftover file for previous installation, serch and delete of that will allow to install again.

I had this problem the other day trying to install apps with titanium backup and the play store, both were getting this error. I fixed it the same way by going into the data/app folder and deleteing the .odex files in there. I had two in my folder, one was 'com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup-1.odex' and i cant remember what the other one was. I think when an app is uninstalled or modified, it sometimes leaves a .odex residue file which causes the error.

Here is a simple SOLUTION :-
Install lucky patcher now press the menu key
Choose troubleshooting now click on removes fixes and backup now u can install the application

Solved: Insufficient Storage on app restore!

This applies to At&t i537, but might work for others as well
I was about to pull my hair out because I couldn't restore a few apps from backup or re-download from the market without the "insufficient storage" error. Theres no way im actually out of memory, so i knew something else was going on. I searched XDA & Google without finding much.
I discovered it has to do with some problems with the uninstall of the app. Basically, if android doesn't clear ALL of the data on uninstall, there's no way to reinstall it. In other words, your phone thinks its already there.
My fix-
*Must be rooted*
-I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU MESS UP- THIS IS ONLY ADVICE!!
The app & its data must be deleted from 3 places.
Using Root Explorer, go to the data folder.
Inside you must delete the app from folders:
1. App
2. App-lib
3. Data
Now install the app from backup or market.
To keep this from happening, I delete all app data in App Manager before uninstall.
