What is the best way of removing CIQ on the TMOB Note 4? (besides installing one of the newly build custom ROMs)
CIQ Scanner says it is installed so it must be present.
I don't see anything listed in TiBu to freeze or uninstall.
I do not see it in /system/app
I do see /data/data/com.carrieriq.tmobile
I am not certain I found all of it.
Thank you in advance.

Hiya,
I've been tinkering to make my own ROM (not completed yet)
I've been struggeling with apk optimalisation.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=560271
I followed the guide and thought I test it out om my fav ROM CyanogenMOD 4.0.4
Ok so it reduced the size, resigned it without any problems.
I flash the rom and it doesn't go any further then the android loading screen. I should be seeing the setupwizard.
Are there certain apk's that you musn't optimize ??
-----------------------
Second question.
I'd like to add apps and remove apps. how do I do this ??
- Can I just put them in the /system/app directory ?
- Or in the /data/app directory ?
As you noticed I'm abit of a newbie.
thanks for any help
For adding and removing cooked in apps
-Don't remove anything from /system/app even if you don't want it, because whatever app it is probably part of the framework...
-You can add third party apps to /system/apps like twidroid, but neither the market or aTrackDog will show update.
-You can add third party apps to /data/app but you will take a look in the update script to make sure they will be flashed.
thnQ for answering.
Is there also a way I can remove apps from a ROM completely?
I tried to remove amazon mp3 cause i never use it but after I sign it again it won't go beyond the loading screen. it turns black then
I'm having problems adding apps to a them or rom for some reason it installs fine but when it is at the loading screen it stops and turn black.
I added apps to /system/apps on a theme and on a ROM without any luck.
Some help is appriciated.
if you dont have the haykuro spl....you have to make sure everything will fit on the ~44mb system partition
I have recently purchased the GT-P1000 in Kuwait. It's unlocked but I don't have admin rights to it. Initially, there was no Android Market but I found the fix for that in another post.
My current dilemma now is I can't seem to get apps to install. The downloads will pause themselves and never install the application. I've had this happen to Angry Birds and Robo Defense.
As of now, I have no desire to flash this device. AFAIK, it's 3g voice/data straight out of the box and I don't want to risk losing those features.
Now, the question is, what's the bare minimum I need to do so I can install apps from Android Market and remove unwanted apps?
So I feel like an idiot now. For some reason, I can now get the apps to download and install: Angry Birds, Robo Defense, ES File Explorer, and Dropbox have installed successfully.
I still would like to remove some apps and install some that will need root access. Can someone confirm that if I root the phone that it won't affect the 3G data/voice capabilities?
ROOTING only gives you su (superuser admin) rights to your phone. It doesnt affect your phone or device functions (unless you mess around somewhere). Rooting gives you ability to access files or functions that vendor has it locked out from you. Sort of like jailbreaking the iphone.
Flashing roms is another thing. Some roms have no support to some functions But since you already own an unbranded non carrier GSM and Not CDMA tab. You shouldnt really worry.
all samsung tabs are different...so in lots oof countries they made some differnces in possibilties.
Try out by going to my weblog and after registering to download thje apks you find in the download section.
Best is to download this on another laptop..and copy the apk to the micro sd card in a folder with your name
then withe a file manager clck on the apk to see if they install
not working.....then you need to root your samsung to make it work

thanks for the info. I didn't think rooting would break anything but my paranoia got the best of me.
I rooted my phone yesterday and was able to install and run apps that need SU rights. I'm still havin trouble removing the apps that came with the Tab. Thoughts anyone?
FYI, I can uninstall apps that I've downloaded from the market.

Oho. stock apps cannot be uninstalled. Simplest way to uninstall stock apps is to use Titanium Backup Pro. Before you do that, be sure you backup the app in case you need it again later.
Hiii Guys
I have a XT 883 rooted, bought from ebay. In my social networking->Add social network->Setup accounts there is no icons to setup any account.
Also there is no sticky note. I had titanium backup preinstalled. And in apps list a strikeout line is there like "com.motorola.stickynote" and a lot others which i cant backup or freeze. the options are not active only uninstall works. may be while while flashing they removed these backup files.
I have downloaded a verizon stock ROM for droid 3 & extracted all apk & odex. Can somebody tell me how I can repair my apps with these or some other way so I can use social networking app, sticky notes etc.
Bump
You could use another ROM entirely.

I am also thinking the same but little bit afraid as i can't back my existing with safe strap due to a known issue with XT883 partition. Also I am a noob for android but not totally. There is an alternate way of backup posted by TBBle here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=294 but I am not very sure of that. As i see you also have a XT883 so maybe you can help me better.
Can you suggest some ROM which I can try with safe strap & which works with both CDMA as well as GSM network. For me it's important that phone works with both type of SIM cards. At present I am using CDMA OMH SIM CARD with the device.
Edit :
My phone was flashed with China telecom ROM (60.3.250.XT883.ChinaTelecom.en.CN) when bought, with most bloatware & chinese already removed. Later I also removed all Chinese keyboard & other chinese options with the help of XDA forums. At present it's almost ok for me except some app like social network & sticky note widget which i need. It's rooted but can't push file via ADB ROOT as it gives error "adb cant run as root on production build". tried to copy paste files directly to system/app folder, change permission & restart but all in vain.
If possible i will prefer to reinstall these apps some way.
Hi,
Does anyone know of a list of which APK's can be safely removed from the app folder in stock 4.3 without breaking anything?
There's a pretty good list in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2607321 - but it lists what has been removed from a ROM yet to be flashed.
I'm not sure if removing any of those files from a ROM already up and running will be a killer move?
You will find a lot of apk's can't be removed without root ie system and Samsung ....

Thanks, I have root (SuperSU & Busybox).
Don't think I'd even be able to see into that folder without it.
Themes and Apps has a safe to remove thread .
A special thanks to thecubed for providing us with root access! See his thread here:

Following is a list of system apps I have removed without affecting apparent stability or performance. Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage you inflict upon your device, proceed at your own risk. I backed up complete copies of my system app folders, and rebooted after each uninstall in case I ran into trouble. I used the uninstall function of Rom Toolbox, and have heard of similar results using Titanuim Backup (including the inability to completely remove the Facebook entries without further intervention.)
Facebook
Instagram
Pages Manager
Lookout
Messenger (Facebook)
Snap Page
com.facebook.system
com.facebook.appmanager
The "com.facebook" entries were a little trickier. When attempting removal they would just downgrade to the factory-installed version, then after a reboot they immediately update themselves silently in the background. I had to remove the folders that held the original versions the apps were reverting to, then remove them again. I have never seen what should be an optional social media app so stubbornly intalled as a system app! Here are the directories I found the originals in:
/system/app/com.facebook.appmanager
/system/priv-app/com.facebook.system
/system/priv-app/lookout
After deleting these folders using a root file explorer (ES File Explorer) I was able to run root uninstalls with Rom Toolbox. I didn't remove anything connected to LG's services, Google's services, or the stock launcher. Only the apps that should have been optional to install in the first place. I hope this helps get some other users started making use of our new root access!

Thanks for this guide
I deleted a lot more than both you guys but I'm going to leave it as it is because without TWRP it's really playing with fire.

I'm really interested in that list.... My phone didn't have, half the apps they mentioned. Sprint Ls991. A screen shot...if possible... so you don't have to type all the apps.
I didn't document which apps I deleted. If you send me a list of apps you are wondering if they are safe to remove I will let you know if I deleted it.
