Hi! I've uninstalled some applications but I can remove them completely.
When I go to "Settings" "Applications" "Manage" I keep getting this apps:
com.allrecipes.spinner.free
com.keramidas.tinaniumbackup
com.popcap.pvz_row
They all have 0.00kb of space. When I try to remove, it allows me. But when I've restart the phone, the same applications are there again.
Can anybody help me by telling me what can I do to remove them?
Thanks!
You got root ?
If you do
Download root explorer
And then go to system-->app
Dont forget to mount to R/W
(There is a botton at the top)
Then press long press on the app you want to uninstall,delete it.
Reboot the phone
And there you go .. you deleted the app you wanted

Hi! I've got root. But i'va looked at that folder and didn't find the files corresponding to the app I want to remove. They're still at the aplication manager :\
I've first removed some of the applications using titanium backup, but now, i've searched with root manager, and can't find any files with that name, buy they are @ the application manager.

I used Option 30 in FirstAide : "Install Lock Screen and Disable The Original Lock Screen" which installed No Lock and Magic Locker
How do I uninstall them and reactivate the original lock screen? They don't respond to the usual long press option and don't appear in Android Assistant's uninstall tool or in Uninstaller.
The device is being sent back so I need to sort this out.
Option 22 Unroot the Kindle did not remove Magic Locker/Unlocker.
A factory reset left the 'No Lock' icon on the carousel but removed the Magic Locker icon.
I rooted it again, but a long press still would not remove either No Lock.
I used Option 30 to install the magic locker again in the hope that after installation, it might be removed in the conventional way - it didn't. Another Option 22 to unroot did not remove either of them.
I need to get these apps removed so I can send it back so can anyone help please. I'm willing to manually search for and delete the app files if need be, but I don't know where they are or what they're called.
If you have root now, install a root browser of some sort like Root Browser Lite. then look in the system/app folder for the no lock app and delete it if it is there. It may have a slightly different name but look for the icon.
There is also a Q&A section for questions like these.
Ok, root you kindle fire hd again. Check to see if you have superuser intsalled, and the SU file in the xbin folder in system folder.After its rooted, use your file explorer to get into system/app. Delete the magiclocker, and No Lock. Magiclocker will look like"com.(something i forgot) " and no lock too. Before deleting those, open no lock to make sure locking IS enabled. Then go to data/app and delete them from that folder too. After deleting both of those, you can reboot your kindle, and the regular lockscreen will show up. And try this way of unrooting: Go into system/app, delete all things you added in there, like (google play, vending.apk, googleservicesframework.etc, launchers) and go into data/app and do the same. Then reboot again. There should be no googgle play or launchers. Check again to see if there is nothing you added in there again.Then you should go into system/xbin and find the SU file. Delete that, AND DO NOT REBOOT YET. Go into apps, edlete things you downloaded from Gplay for absolute cleansiness, and after that uninstall the app superuser. Then reboot, and then click restore to factory defaults to bring it back to stock.
Thanks for your help (I couldn't find any Q&A on this but I am in a it of a panic as its being picked up tomorrow and I go to work shortly)
I have managed to get rid of googleservicesframework and vending but cannot find GPlay or similar. Google Play isn't listed in the apps.... has it gone or is it hiding somewhere?
Also, how do I "uninstall the app superuser"? SuperSU is listed in the apps but a long press doesn't uninstall it. Will deleting the apk file uninstall it. (Don't want to delete it without being sure because I may need it if the app isn't unistalled)
If an app is the system/app folder, then if you delete it and restart the kindle it will be removed. So I think superSU might be in there
But obviously removing superSU is the last app you should be removing, because then your root wont be working properly and you wont be able to get back into the system folder

yes, I recognised that, which is why I was worried I was looking in the wrong place.
anyway, it looks ok, no sign of the 'wrong' apps being there as far as I can tell anyway. Got to go to work now so it'll have to do.
thanks, and kudos to all
I recently updated my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 to Android 4.1.1 (Official) and encountered a problem with my lock screen and power button not working, so after I did my research, I found that I needed to add 'ON' to the 'keystr' file in the IMEI folder or some other folder which obviously needed root explorer. I installed it and Found it giving me a blank black screen. I tried re-installing android 4.1.1 again but still it is of no use.
I attached a screenshot of the screen when I open the app. I don't seem to understand the problem, with the root/flash or the app.
Hope someone replies fast!
To go to that folder you will need root access..
Application doesn't open. Check the screenshot.

Hello. You might want to try using ES File explorer instead. It comes with Root explorer and much user friendly. To give root explorer access all you need to do is:
1. Open ES file explorer. press menu button. find "Tools" menu and press to expand.
2. Scroll down to find "Root Explorer" and press to activate, then it will prompt you to give access. grant it and voila.

Hey! Thanks for replying soon. I followed what you said and still it gives me the same blank black screen even after giving it root access. Do you think there ia a problem in the way I flashed/rooted my phone?
Is this only happening with root files or other files too? Can you view the contents of internal storage using any of the file managers?

Hey. This problem occurs only with root explorer. I am able to view the contents of internal storage with some other app called 'root browser'

Strange.. After giving it root access a screen was supposed to appears with the following menus:
Root Explorer
One key install
One key uninstall
Backup app and data
Uninstall system app
startup manager
Mount R/W
Stop Permission.
What were you trying to do exactly?

As I said, I was searching for a file called 'keystr' because my lock and home button wa not working. And the menu did appear. I un-installed the file and re installed It. Still it doesn't work.

first check if you have root access using root checker.. then enable USB debugging and connect to pc and use shell and su command (should ask for superuser on phpne) and then
echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
sync
It's working in my phone.
hi just a question , i want to get rid of all "phone apps" for example, the Phone, phone book, messaging, samsung apps etc
i want to do this as im getting a new phone soon and want to use this as a "handheld gaming Device"
im guessing you just do it with root and a app? or are they "protected"?
Thanks Craig.

You need root, then you have only to install Root Explorer app from PlayStore. Go to system/app (or where the apps are), change folder permissions from R/W to R/O, just push on app and remove it. Be scrupulous because some apps are needed by your rom and so I suggest to you to have a backup before you try.

Guys, previously i have no problem delete any stock apps using root explorer/fx explorer.
But since i updated to lollipop and install back root explorer, it seems like something has changed.
Previously i just need to go system > app > then it will appear full list of item installed on my phone.
Now when i entering it showing list of folder only, in the folder it just an apk only...
Please help...Thank you
Yeah, its normal, nothing to be stressed about.
You can just delete those folders.
Btw the stock apps are not only in system/apps
But also priv-apps
Hope this helps
Thanks for the suggestion.
But im wondering delete the folder doesnt mean it uninstall the apps right ?
Also, previously unsintall any apk doesnt required reboot, but now it need to reboot only it take affect.
I installed an app called "System Monitor" while following a guide to rooting my HTC Desire 626 it appears to be malicious as I cannot un-install, disable or stop it using regular tools.
(I followed this guide: http://www.skyneel.com/2015/08/how-to-root-htc-desire-626s-without-pc.html
and installed this software Root_tool_V4.80.apk from this site: http://d-h.st/w6Os)
Attempting to un-install it with Malware Antibytes fails as the app seems to be intercepting all attempts to remove it . Whatever app or method I try to remove it with is shut down as soon as I tap un-install.
I think the original .apk has been replaced with something borderline suspicious. There is a page for the app that is now running on reverse.it:
https://www.reverse.it/sample/cab7c...510dfb21f1718a6fdce982a6bddd0?environmentId=8
Can anyone help??
any luck with this..facing same problem
I got rid of it on my Android device with Es File Explorer. Open ES, use the menu to find the installed Apps and select the offending System Monitor app. You will see it shows com.ezzebd.systemmonitor as the package name. Close the pop up details and tap and hold on the System Monitor app, you can select the properties button at the bottom of ES. This takes you to the uninstall/force stop screen. Choose Force Stop, say ok when prompted, and then Uninstall. It may throw you back to your home screen between the force stop and uninstall, I can't remember, but persevere if it does.
Hope that helps.
Thank you thank you! Using the ES File Explorer worked!
