Hello All,
I have unlocked my bootloader and rooted my HTC One with Supersu.
I have used a few different programs like Root Uninstaller or Titanium Backup to try and remove the bloatware apps from my phone. It says the app is uninstalled. Then if I restart the phone they re-appear. I have been digging around the forums and suspect this may be due to the S-On function.
Could someone help explain this to me and how I remove these correctly.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Reece
I'd recommend freezing the apps with Titanium, rather than uninstalling. It should fix your issue with apps reappearing.

Thanks if you know I would also like to know how to remove these and why these would be re-appearing. Just for my understanding.
because you said maybe it was related to s-on here is a video how you become easely s-off.

theres a system partition within the phone that isnt really allowed to be touched. for some reason certain apps hang around in that area. some custom roms like viperONE have the option to turn these system partitions the R/W which is read write. this will allow you to remove the apps permanently.

i already use one click root to root my captivate, but could any tell me how to uninstall att apps? or install apps that are not from market?
cuz i am not able to do so.
when i went to application management, there is no uninstall button under att apps.
and when i went to install apps that are not on market place, it is still said "for securtiy your phone is set to block installation of applications not sourced in adnroid market."
You will have to root your phone and use titanium backup to remove the AT&T apps. To allow side loading apps, aka those not in the market, you will have to modify the settings.db on your phone. There are posts that cover both of these items throughout the forum, just do some searching and you should be able to find them.
Titanium backup to uninstall apps. Can be found on market. Make sure you know what you are doing before you get rid of something. Do not delete gtalk, talk, por just about anything google

Nope, root only gives you access to SuperUser, which application like Titanium Backup use the superuser privileges to modify locked in items like AT&T bloatware.
Hi, does anyone know how to permanently delete pre-installed AT&T softwares from Vivid?
I am able to root it temporarily by following the instruction here and delete the pre-installed softwares through RootExplorer and SysAppRemover. However, once it is rebooted and lost temp root, the softwares are back automatically.
You just answered your own question. Without perm root we are not able to do much of anything yet
Edit: not trying to be rude, just frustrated with our situation

While you cannot permanently delete the pre-installed AT&T APPs and widgets, you can permanently disable or freeze them using the temporary root.
The APPs and widgets remain disabled even through the full reboot, including a battery pull.
See my post here for the detailed instructions with which to disable common bloatware.
Thanks, I will be able to edit the bat file and keep the app I want.

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.
I have my desire systemless rooted w/ twrp installed. I have tried several different ways of removing system apps but Everytime I restart EVERY Single app is back like they are an aggressive cancer that will not subdue to chemo. Is Anyone else experiencing this and if not please advise me on your method of removal. Thanks.
Also, Tidbit more info, when I attempt to flash ANY thing in TWRP, the phone stops the flash and IMMEDIATELY restarts into ROM.

Have you tried re flashing twrp ? You can use flashify or rashr from play store to flash the .IMG file
As far as system apps and bloat, I've also had issues removing them. When I use ROM toolbox pro's app manager, a lot of times the app will still be on the list of apps installed even after I've clicked uninstall. But usually the apps are gone once I reboot
I use /system/ app mover *root* from the play store. I covert the system apps to user apps and then uninstall them.
It also shows that in the latest update it might recognize sytemless root.

Why do you convert to user apps first? Could that be the reason why they aren't being removed? Due to some type of broken operation of an app that was meant to be system only?

I do that because I keep some of the apps and also because I haven't had any problems uninstalling apps that way. converting them to user apps also gives me the option to move them to the SD card.
I remember when I used "system app remover(root),"it would still show the app in the app drawer(even after reboot) and when I pressed on them they would say "unfortunately ...has stopped"
I used titanium backup to get rid of all the apps i didnt want,afterwords i went into TWRP and wiped the dalvik cache/ART cache and it rebuild upon first reboot,and all the apps i uninstalled were gone.try this method and let us know.
Hi,
If I may please humbly request a bit of help from anyone who might have an answer, I would greatly appreciate it!!!
I am Rooted and running Marshmallow 6.0.1 and my problem is that when I use the "System App Remover" that I have used to Uninstall Bloatware from all of my devices, the app(s) I try to Uninstall will either:
Fail to Uninstall
Or...
Will Uninstall, but then immediately Reinstall themselves!
I'm just talking about normal Bloatware, like Facebook, Amazon, Flipboard, etc.. Nothing extraordinary.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I can do to get the Bloatware off of my phone, please???
Thank You!

After uninstalling apps they go temporory to recycle bin you must go to recycle bin in system app remover options and delete again all apps there then reboot.

That is trues, but only if you have "AutoBackup" on in the Settings. I have it Disabled.
Also, just as a kindly FYI:
I set it up the same way as I always do and I've never had this problem (good catch on mentioning the setting though, thanks!).
I failed to mention (Sorry! My bad!) that when the apps reinstall, it's not after a reboot, or even after a little while. It's immediate! I mean, you haven't even counted to 3 yet and the message saying that it/they have reinstalled shows and the apps are there again.
Thank you for such a quick response! If you think of anything else, please let me know and thank you again!

Another things to look out for is the "Preloadinstaller.apk" file. Mine is located in "/system/app/Preloadinstaller/Preloadinstaller.apk." I suspect yours will be in the same place. Mine has been modified so that it doesn't reinstall bloatware once it has been removed. Some people simply delete that file. I haven't tried deleting it myself though because every time I delete something from the /system directory my systemui starts to crash. Instead, I just freeze bloatware. They are still in my rom but they don't load into ram, they don't update, and they don't try to reinstall. Good luck
