Remove F-Secure

Anyone know the command for adb to remove the F-Secure from a stock rom (rooted)
Also is the a way to copy text and paste in the command prompt?

adb shell pm disable package-name
As for copy & paste, use the mouse

Does that leave f-secure on the phone but disabled?
And also does anyone know the full file name of it as when I looked it was somthing like F-Secure_android_device and the rest is off the screen so can't see the full path name

Yes it does, but I don't know the name as I'm on CM7

Why don't you just freeze it using titanium backup, that is what I have done. ;-)

you can uninstall it with titanium as well, make sure chuck norris mode is on.

I simply removed the apk file from system/apps.
Ok you will need to have root permissions and some kind of file browser like root explorer.

It's not that simple to remove a system apps as they are installed as Read Only files, tried with titanium and it still did not uninstall, but i did manage to freeze it

There is a way to make it so it doesn't run... Do a hard reset (non root) and never open the app. That's what I have done and never get the stupid sounds from it or anything else.

[Q] Is it ok to remove system apps in custom rom?

I'm using CriskeloRomNOTE.vICS-V7 now.
this rom is really good to me but some unusable apps exist.
and also it has some duplicated apps like camera & camera ics.
I just want to remove those unusable apps.
I think it would be possible to delete apk files on CriskeloRomNOTE.vICS-V7.zip before flashing.
Then rezip the file and flash. Will it work?
I need your help T.T Thx!!

you should flash it first then remove anything you don't want in system/app with root explorer.
you can see guidance for applications that safe to remove here:

uhm.. thx for your advice, but I can't remove apps by using root explorer or root app remover.
In case of root explorer, it should be required to remove apps that getting permission to change mount r/w to r/o.
But i can't change r/w to r/o at system-app folder.
In other words, I can't remove apps by using the removing applications...
Is there any other way to do?
or please give me some methods to make those removing apps can be worked on my phone..
Thank you.

You should be able to change it in totalcmd (the setting is difficult to find, but it works).
Or, try Root App Delete from the market, maybe it'll work for you.

Install TenderloinParts.apk on OaT's 07/29 Rom

I browse to where I downloaded the file from ES Explorer and click on the app, but I get that install failed? Any help? I like to use a stylus frequently, and with this latest ROM it is missing the input very frequently. I read that this app installed a setting or a switcher app to select between touch and stylus/

Likely you got install failed because it's a system app. That's my guess. Try this instead. If you have a way of using titanium back up on a device where tenderloinparts works, use Ti to back up the app. Take the back up files from that device and move it to your Oats one. From there, drop it into your Ti backup folder. Then have Ti restore the tenderloinparts.

System APK
Well, I didn't exactly follow your advice, but once you pointed out that it was likely a System App, I installed with Root Explorer by copying to \system\app and setting rights to -rw-r-r then reboot and now it works!

Deleting system files on Xperia T.

Good day, friends.
First of all, sorry for my poor English, i`ll try to speak shortly.
I have Xperia T LT30p running on stock f/w 7.0.A.1.303, bootloader is factory locked, rooted with this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460) method.
I deleted some apps from SYSTEM/APP folder throug ROOT EXPLORER, not so much, i deleted Chrome, asian keyboards, power-saving mode and something else, APKs deleted successfully, they are no longer existing in SYSTEM/APP folder, but to my surprise the programs that i deleted are still in the system, they are still on phone, i see them in general menu, they are not deleted at all, and they are running and successfully workable! Maybe you can help me, how can i completely delete the apps that i don`t need ? Only the asian keyboards are deleted, i can`t choose it in text input.
Thank you.

Using titanium backup is the normal way I do it...all I can imagine is that you are deleting the apk but if it is already installed it may have some other files linked elsewhere...
Also, make sure you have the system/app folder as R/W not R/O.

SYSTEM/APP is on r/w, of course.
This is strange, because APKs are deleted, 100%, and only the links can`t make the program works propertly, but they are working!
But anyway, i`ll try to do like you said.

If I remember correctly, there is another folder in system somewhere ( I think on x10 it was system/user/app/customization) where the system will install user apps from, if they have not been deleted from here too they will be reinstalled! Try this: pick one of they apps you could not get rid of and use root explorer to "search" for the apk name, that will show you the locations.
I am quite sure once you have deleted the one in customization it will not come back once uninstalled.
Edit: system/etc/customisation

Can't delete Velvet.apk (Google Now) from Stock ROM

Hello. At first, this problem doesn't exist on compiled AOSP ROM, it exists only on original ROM. I'm rooted and "busyboxed". I can't delete this app nor freeze, just nothing. I remember on N5 it was fine. Any idea?

have you tried using a root file explorer, like root explorer, to go to its location and delete its apk(then reboot)?

I tried to delete in Root Explorer, in TWRP, or to turn it off in app settings (and it should work, wtf!). I always got a bootloop after reboot.

Try the advice there. If you don't get a bootloop afterward, you'll know why.
