Hello everyone
I just rooted my Xperia X8, and was wondering how to remove the stock ringtones that were already pre-loaded on the phone when I bought it.
Also, which ones of these are best to remove such apps. and ringtones, and such?
1. Titanium backup
2. ultimate backup
3. system app.remover
thanks a million :good:
Ken
Go to system/media
There you will find all the ringtones..
delete the ones which you want..
Thanks to you both
I download Titanium backup from the Market, and removed those apps that I never use on the phone, such as Timescape..
:good:
for removing ringtone go to /system/media. for deodexed app i recommend using root uninstaller while for odexed app just use titanium backup.

Thanks for the reply
Today, I downloaded Root Explorer from the web - I couldn't access the market, as I accidently deleted my Google Gmail account associated with the Market, and couldn't get in..
Anyhow; I went to system>media, and removed some Ringtones and some notification sounds that I didn't like...I switched off my phone for the
changes to take affect, and it worked perfectly.. when I went back into Root Explorer and tried to delete some more ringtones, it gave me this message:
Warning
InsertCoin.ogg cannot be deleted because the file system is read-only.
"'Insert coin" is the name of the ringtone that I want to delete..
If a file is read-only, you can press the "Mount RW" button, and it can then be removed )
On another note..
1.) I was wondering if the Sony Ericsson wallpaper can be deleted? I couldn't find the wallpapers in the system area using the Root Explorer.
2.) And also, will my phone be ok if I removed 'Sync'? Or is that conntected someway to the Gmail apps, and all that important stuff?
On Titanium Backup, I can only find "Synchronisation 1.0.0"
and on Root Explorer, there's only "Sync.apk" and "SyncWizard.apk"- anyone know what these are used for?

Hi Everyone,
Looking for help for an issue, I installed the new android market and was messing around with Titanium Backup (forgot to backup the app, dumb me!) anyway I tried to uninstall the new market to go back to the old one but when I did this the market app is gone from the manage apps area. My phone is a N1, running 2.3.4 and rooted, this what I have tried:
- Install the old market manually from a downloaded vending.apk, not working crashes to .com.android.vending every time
- After this I went to look in the /system/app folder for vending.apk and the app is not there, neither I am unable to copy the app using Droid Explorer or Root explorer, it says it is coping the app but is not there
- Re-install gingerbread update again to see if it gets the app back, did not work, still not in system/app folder
Does anyone know why I am unable to copy the vending.apk to the system/app folder? the phone is rooted but still can-t
Thanks!
If you're having problems with root permissions, try using ROM Manager to fix permissions. Another possibility could be busybox, so I recommend installing the version with Titanium backup (under the Problems? section of the menu).
Updating the market can be tricky, but I always find wiping data from Google Services Framework and (use app manager) Market (easier to use Titanium), and rebooting helps. Make sure you reboot before trying to use the Market...
I didn-t know about the Fix Permissions feature of ROM manager, I tried it and it work, I can now place the file on the system/app folder.
Thanks a lot!
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 found nice memo, dialler, calendar at Android Market.
Under system/app, there is memo, dialler, calendar but cannot remove it. How can I remove and replace with my selection? Tq
no need to remove them just install new one normally and if you want to remove you need to have root
If u'RE already rooted..then install root explorer..navigate to system apps...delete apk...copy the napkins u want..fix permissions and u're done

Tq very much for all suggestion. I've root my Mini, using emanoN v5. I install my selected apps as usual but it not replace with existing apk such as dialler. Which mean, original dialler still at same places. No change with my selection apk
i use titanium backup to remove all unwanted system apps seems to work well

open es file explorer go to aetting check all the root options
go the root of your device by keeping your finger pressed on star button
then go to system, then go to app, copy the apk file in that folder you want to install

I had try exactly as your advice to install dialler but it install as a second dialler. Is there anything i would missed up something? I tried rename same as original dialler but when install, on portion where we can cancel or install, it still show its original name. I realized all .apk in system/apps have it twin file (.odex) which I believe to differentiate the system apk and normal apk. Does need do something on this?
Use systemapp remover to remove any app from the ROM. Of course, always be careful when removing system apps.

Of course not. Android apps are self contained. And why do you need to move stuffs to /system? The cappy have a 1gb data partition, and most data are stored on the SD card, not on the NAND flash like with iPhones(this is not entirely accurate, but close enough)
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.
