Hi, Daneshm90, nice to see you here. I guess he has root, since both apps require root to run.
It's strange, because I use rootexplorer and I am able to delete the unwanted apps. however, I noted that if you boot into recovery, there are some messages saying installing default apk files (?) before the recovery screen came up.
Not sure if the recovery is restoring these apps.

Hmm my bad, didnt read his OP correctly. So he says he has rooted.
Perhaps he didn't press the r/w button in root explorer.
Op, check ur pm, ive sent u my app "Systemapp Remover", try it see if it works. If it does then buy it ;P

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.

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.

On the stock AT&T firmware for the AHD (4.1), you only need to root the phone and remove the vendor apps and the AT&T Addressbook and Yellow Pages apks from the phone and Contacts will load up without any carrier reference. It's actually pretty cool to see how easy it is to remove carrier customizations from this build and look somewhat vanilla.

It should work...make sure you clear cache before you install. And you cant just install it, you have to copy with a root explorer and set permissions correct...

I try with root browser but appears uninstall unsuccessful. What I did wrong?
Need change permissions?
Need another program?
I don't find vendor apps.
My phone is only root.

If you are running the stock ROM with root access, you need to download and install Root Explorer. It isn't a free app but I'm all for supporting development. (Note: I am in no way affiliated with any paid apps on the Play Store)
Open Root Explorer and navigate to System\Vendor. There is a directory \apps that you can just delete, which will elminate most of the pre-installed applications. Root Explorer will ask for root permission, which will open up your SU app. Grant permissions, then Root Explorer will warn you that you are still in R/O mode and confirm that you want R/W access to delete or move the files. Grant access again and the operation will be complete. You aren't done though, as the rest of the apps are loaded in System\apps, so go up a folder back to \System then open up \apps. You want the AT&T phonebook sync, Ready2Go and Yellow Page apps for starters to be deleted. Caution, you will see a lot of force closures but this is to be expected. You'll have leftover entries listed on downloads in App Manager, which you can delete manually one at a time.
If you don't want QuickOffice, you can remove the apk for it and any other preinstalled application that came with the phone. Keep in mind that you will need to be conservative in what you remove because one wrong move/delete could cause you to lose functionality. You should notice a much cleaner app drawer for starters, plus the Contacts app looks like Jelly Bean / ICS without the Yellow Pages icon.
At this point you should have a fairly clean 4.1.1 stock install on the Atrix. What I would like to do at some point is make a 4.1.1 based ROM using the AT&T update, just removing Blur and making everything vanilla. After that make a vanilla 4.0 ROM that is compatible with the Lapdock. I may have moved onto the Nexus 4 but something has to be said for this phone's build quality.

Thank You.:good:

[Q] Questions after rooting.

After reading the manual provided in this thread, I decided to root my Galaxy Ace.
Rooting went well and installing CWM5 too. After installing CMW, I made a backup.
Now I want to uninstall some system apps that I don't use, such as Samsung apps.
I keep finding the same answers:
Go to System\apps folder, find the app you want to delete and delete it. But won't that just remove the installation file and leave the program installed?
Second question:
If I decide to flash a new ROM (say CM9), where does my old ROM go and how do I keep programs that I have now (Think free office) in my new ROM?
By the way, this is what you're working with:
Me: much experience with Windows, none with Android.
Samsung Galaxy Ace, Dutch T-Mobile branded Phone.
Thanks for taking the time to read and answer me.
Rob.

Hi,
Okay, after you rooted, you cannot just delete an item right away, i think you need to set permission first before you can delete a system file.
so make sure you set permission first so you can do changes in your system file.

when you flashed a different rom, your old rom will be fully deleted, however make sure you follow the correct procedure in CWM, and also for your apps that you don't want to be deleted everytime you flash a new rom, kindly make a backup.. Titanium Backup app is free in google store and very usefull.. and regarding deleting or editing a system file, you need to set permission to do that, you can try to use Es file manager for that.
hope i helped.

Is not necessary to change permissions in /system/app folder, the only you need is to mount /system partition as R/W to delete or modify whatever you want, use root explorer (e.g.) to do it, because /system apps have the 644 permissions (THE ROOT USER IS ALLOWED TO EDIT THIS FILES)
And yes titanum back up is a great tool, but all GB apps won't work properly in CM roms so sometimes to restore apps using TB is really painful, you can find at Google Playstore similar apps as ThinkFree even the same app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tf.thinkdroid.amlite so be careful with TB

1. If you remove .apk file you'll remove the app, but not data files
2. I've already explained it

Thanks for your quick replies. I see I still have a lot of learning to do.
@Viper: Can you post a link to your reference on how to remove the datafiles?
I think I'll wait with flashing a ROM, until I completely know what I'm doing.

There is no reference, just instal TB and do it deleting data (TB can also clean your cache and dalvik-cache partition even backup your apks and data) or use a filebrowser as root explorer go to /system/app, mount it as R/W and delete what you want, be careful with apps as SystemUI, Statusbar, Phone, Contacts, etc
well you could have a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542749

Thanks for your quick and clear help Viper.
I've seen references tot Titanium Backup. As I understand it, you can compare it to the 'uninstall software' in the Windows settings on a normal computer.
I use 'Total commander' as file explorer, I don't know if this does the same as 'Root explorer', but it does have root rights.
What's the difference between CWM and Titanium Backup. I read that I should make a backup using CWM. But after some research, I now see that I have to use TB aswell to make a backup. All in all a bit confusing.

CWM can backup your whole rom with all you user data(includes all your apps!), etc.
TB can only backup apps
Now you could think: When CWM backups the rom and my data + apps why I need TB?
The answer is that you can only restore the full rom in CWM. You can restore single apps.
In TB you can restore single apps.
You can use any file explorer with root permissions to delete system apps. Idk, but I like Root Explorer, because of its easy usage

well thats my peraonal problem. It encourages me. N I believe it!!

Since u r totally new I would like u to use a slightly different and easier to understand approach.
Its similar to what others hav said but i feel a lot easier for newbies.
Steps.
1. Install ES File Explorer.
2. Go to system/apps.
3. From options click on TOOLS
4. Then click Root Explorer or Root manager Option.
5. You see the option to uninstall system app. Click on it. Long press the app u wana delete. And uninstall.
To reatore apps from previous ROM.
1. Create a backup of that ROM using CWM.
2. Download Nandroid Manager on your new ROM.
3. Click on the Backup File displayed.
4. Restore the apps you want.
I hope this was usefull.

After all of your suggestions, I did some research about deleting system apps and freeing up memory. On a Dutch forum, someone said that if you delete system apps, it doesn't give you space for new apps, because this memory space is reserved.
Can anyone tell me if that is correct, or does the answer form Omega_Warrior really free up memory?
Now I've come across a new item: Bootanimations.
I have found a lot of bootanimations on XDA. Problem is, my Phone has .qmg files, instead of .zip files. Some forums suggest that you can rename the Original files to 'bootsamsung.qmg'.bak' and replace them with the .zip files. Other forums insist that you need the .qmg format, in order to make the bootanimation work.
Which of the comments is true?

Yes if u delete a system App u do free up some space but that space cannot be used by u unless u install an app as a system app... But it still frees up space, reduces background process and in some cases affects performance in positive way.

Well you can transform useful apps as Operamini or Quickpic as system app using Titanium backup e.g. so you can use this free space as you elwant...
About Bootanimations you need to flash a CUSTOM KERNEL (CF-ROOT, BATTERY EXTENDER,...) to enable this feature and the correct path, if you don't flash it you can't use this path and bootanimation.zips

New ROM
OFF TOPIC
Instead of starting a new topic, I decided to post my question in this topic. Just incase someone else is following the same path as I am.
Back on topic:
I found this ROM review and I'm thinking about installing it to my Galaxy Ace.
Here is the link to the review: http://www.technobuzzing.com/sgs-ii-v11-2-samsung-galaxy-ace-custom-rom/
These are the steps I intend to follow:
Create a backup of all my personal files.
Use Titanium backup and CWM to backup the Phone itself.
Next steps:
Boot into CWM
Choose 'wipe data/factory reset'.
Choose 'Wipe cache'.
Choose 'Advanced' and 'wipe dalvik cache'.
'Install zip from SD-card'.
If I left any safety precautions out, or missed a step, please tell me.
Anyone who has this ROM installed, feel free to share your comments on this ROM.
@Omega Warrior: The QMG files for the bootanimations are aparently a Samsung thing.
Thanks for any reactions.

About QMG files, yes only stock or mainly stock roms have QMG files as bootanimation. Custom roms always or almost always have bootanimations in .zip files, this is allowed due to the custom kernels that support this kind of tweaks, so custom rom = custom bootanimation.zip (mainly)

So you're saying "go ahead and good luck"?
Because if it goes wrong... my backup Phone is a Nokia 3510. The type that asks "share by sms or smoke signal?".:fingers-crossed:

well I'm not forcing you xDDD, but there isn't other way to do it so if you have the GT-S5830 model, there shouldn't be problem
And yes CWM backup works fine and is the best thing you can do before flashing nothing just in case something goes wrong
So good luck and preparing the fire for smoke signals!! (joke ) XDDD

Can't uninstall system apps with Titanium Backup after upgrading to 6.0.1

Just upgraded my phone to 6.0.1 and I went to uninstall a couple of system apps I never use (Google + and Google Fit). Normally, I just uninstall them with Titanium Backup and then reboot the phone and they're gone for good, at least until I flash the next stock rom update.
This time however, while Titanium Backup says the apps are uninstalled, after I reboot the phone they're still there, and in fact are once again showing as active in Titanium Backup. I've tried doing this a number of times, all with the same result.
I don't know if this is something model specific, specific to 6.0.1, or if it's just something with my phone. Never had this trouble before, which leads me to think that Google changed something in 6.0.1, and I will need to wait for Titanium Backup to update their app.
Anyone else experiencing these issues, or have any advice on how I can get rid of these unwanted apps?

just use any root file explorer, go to /system/app/ or /system/priv-app/, delete whichever app you dont need, reboot, and problem solved?

Tried that (using both ES File Explorer and X-plore). In both cases I get a message saying the file/folder can't be deleted.
The only other thing I can think of is that I'm now using a systemless root. Not sure if that would make a difference or not, but I believe that's different from when I was on 6.0.

do you have busybox installed? do you want to try a custom kernel? oh, big question, are you sure that you have root???

Titanium Backup wouldn't work for me either with systemless root on 6.0.1. But I was able to delete some system apps using Root Explorer so I could install xposed.

Have Busybox installed (was part of the image I flashed), but I'd rather not get into flashing a custom kernel or using a custom ROM. Really just prefer the stock ROM, and to be truthful the only real reason I root my devices is so t hat I can have an ad-blocker, and to remove unwanted apps that can't normally be uninstalled.

Looked into that, and if I was looking at the right app, it's a $3.99 cost to get it. I don't mind paying for apps, but not sure I want to go this route just yet if I'm only going to use it for this one instance. Will definitely keep it in mind though if no other options become available.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one having trouble though - makes it more likely the developers will work on getting a fix for the issue.

When in doubt on this kinda stuff try setting kernel to permissive with the SELinux changer app. Also you can try deleting them from recovery if you've got TWRP.

Heh, what you're proposing goes a bit over my head, so I"ll have to do a bit of investigating if it comes down to it. It's not crucial that I get rid of these two apps, just something I've been doing since I never have any intention of using them. If the problem never gets sorted out by the developers however, and the aggravation gets to be too much, I'll take a serious look at the two options you've proposed.

Huh no kidding? I've never had to use it since I started using the v4a permissive mediaserver zip. Yea I guess if that's the case you'll have to do it in recovery or wait for apps to be updated

None of these options worked for me. What did work, was using SDMaid to uninstall the apps. I got rid of Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides. It made enough space to install busybox, xposed, and adaway's hostfile.

On a stock rom you can't remount system as rw, so you can't delete stuff. So uninstall will miss its last step, deleting the apk, so reboot installs it again.
But you can boot into TWRP, mount system and have your way with it.

With a permissive kernel this is not needed, correct istperson?

Yes, I have a very permissive kernel, and both in terminal and root explorer.
