Since you are uninstalling default stock apps, anyway your warranty is going to void. Then why not install custom rom which doesn't have any of these bloatwares.
You could find one in development section.
ANDRO-ID v3.3 RC2 is the stable custom rom release till now.
If you want to remove only few specific apps and retain others which are absent in current Andro-id release then wait for few days, I will post a "how-to-build custom rom from stock " soon. Then you can remove any apps that you want add any apps / ui launcher as default system launcher.

Oh..? That's odd.... try installing another app that needs root permissions to make sure you have root. If you don't, I used superoneclick to root. Also try other apps to uninstall bloatware

Use titanium backup to selectively restore apps data that you want. but it would be better to have complete wipe before installing custom rom.

no no no a little bit wrong here ... chage it to r/w i.e read and write so you can edit the files mere being on r/o means u r in read only mode and here u cant delete

We can also do an adb and remove the apps from /system/data by using the command prompt in the system or Terminal in the phone?
I haven't tried it in my device yet. But I think this shud work.

[Q] how to remove Sconcau team app

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

Unable to install Titanium Backup

Hello friends!
I am presently running rooted Simplicity 2.2.1 on XXJVU with Semaphore 2.5.0bm kernel. After installing this ROM, I installed Titanium Backup Pro and then recovered all my backed up apps,data and settings. Everything was working fine until yesterday when I found that Titanium Backup Pro was gone. So after searching for it and finally unable to trace it, I tried installing it again, both from the apk file that I had in my SD card and from the market, but it failed everytime giving an error message saying "Out of Space: Titanium Backup could not be installed. Free up some space and try again"
This is strange because I have a hell lot of space available and still it is showing this error. I tried installing other softwares and there wasnt any problem with that. This message is flashed only when I try installing TB.
Can you guys please help me to come out of this situation because TB is a must have software for me?
Thank you.

Try looking at last few comment on below thread, they might help you.

Thanks. Had same problem and deleting file /data/app/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup-1.odex:good:

For those of you who have used Lucky Patcher for Titanium Backup, removing the .odex will not solve the issue.
The solution is to remove the patch with Lucky Patcher:
In Lucky Patcher click on Titanium Backup > Open Menu of Patches > Remove ODEX with Changes!
If you have uninstalled the app before removing the patch, you will not be able to update it.
In this case just install the same version as before (this will work), then remove the patch and upgrade the app.
hope this helps

You are right, I removed the odex file but it still doesnt allow me to install the updated version as I had patched the previous version with lucky patcher. I followed all that you said but I am still not able to install an updated version. After uninstalling the older version, when I try to install the new version, it gives "Application not installed"... Now what?

go4saket said:

Did you reboot phone, after deletes?
if you have root explorer you can try going to /data/dalvik-cache and delete [email protected]@[email protected]
and
[email protected]@[email protected] after that reboot phone

Thanks...Done...

After trying just about everything, THIS WORKED. So I did hit the Thanks Button.

which rom you are using

so I uninstalled it before trying the luckypatcher method. and I deleted some titanium folder that was empty. I rebooted and still not luck. I just kept trying to install and eventually it did it, after about 10 times.
I've been in this scenario heaps, different apps. almost like custom roms don't uninstall apps properly. I'm on omega note 2.

Even I also faced da same problem.. u have to wipe data/format n dalvic cache n restart da rom

[Q] Stop OTA message nag

Im on the latest BadBoys 4.4.4 rom. I would like to remove the OTA nag. I've done it before but never on a new HTC. Usually you freeze or delete an app using titanium and delete the current ota from some system folder. I just cant find which program or folder to freeze/delete from.
Anybody know where/what I need to mod to get rid of this??
Thanks

just put a freeze on the "Updater" system app will take care of it.

I will try that. Thanks

No, I cound not find an "Updater" app in titanium or in System/app . However I did find a solution HERE .
When you look for the apps (I used ES file explorer) replace the "VZW" with "SPCS".
This worked like a charm for me :good:

Can't install sony apps on Cm12.1 (aicp)

Hi everyone,
I would like to install sony apps on my Xperia SP running aicp (no tangerine kernel). Problem is, apks won't install (app cannot be installed).
As far as I learned, it is because you have to disable signature verification, which I tried thanks to the thread on sont cross device development and with lucky patcher.
The two mehthods above had failed. When I restarted my device with the modified services.jar or the patches, it rebooted, started, then kernel adiutor says "applying settings on boot". When it finishes, device restarts again and keeps restarting until i delete lucky patcher or reinstall the original services.
now my question is, do you guys know a fix for this? Is it kernel's fault? Should i download tangerine? Is it because of kernel adiuitor? Are there other ways to install on cm?
Please respond, and thank you for reading!
Kind regards,
Deleunes254

did you try to push the app into system with the right permissions ?
or search for something called universal apk for music or album or movies on google

im using each and every sony app working fine (latest)
on aicp r4 ..

Got the music app working now....just pushed the apk in system>app with correct permissions and boom....started working

Hey! Can any one test this zip. Just flash this in recovery. I haven't tested cause my phone is in service centre (slipped from my hand).
After flashing see if music is compatible in play store or can be installed manually.
Please backup ur rom before flashing.
Please report if it works.

You don't need to reflash the ROM to remove system apps. Either go into the /system/app folder with a file explorer with root permissions & delete the apk or folder containing the apk or use something like Sys app remover to get rid of it. Just tried installing Music via adb and although I was successful, the bloody app refused to start. You know the standard Android "unfortunately, app has stopped working blah blah" nonsense. Used ES File Explorer to remove it.
Also dirty flashing probably won't help since it leaves what you installed as it is and you installed these apps. So either do a clean installation or remove them like I mentioned.

You mean just copy paste the apk in system/app folder with ES and change permission to rw-r-r? Did that and also tried it with adb but no luck. Same old "unfortunately, music has stopped" crap. Might have to try the other way now - flash the ported apps and update them via playstore.
Is it working for you properly? From where and which version of Music did you install?
