I tried to remove gmail and chrome beta through titanium backup and my phone didn't reboot I had to flash clean ROM again.
I'm using the Microsoft outlook app and I like Firefox over chrome.
Is there a reason it won't reboot?
Should work fine without those apps.
Wonder why mine hung at the google screen when I deleted them
If you delete google camera the phone will not start.

how were you deleting them before???

are you still on stock? if so, your apps are probably odexed, and you would want to delete both parts of the app.
This is why I like to flash my own gapps. This way you can flash a minimal gapps. Banks basically has the play store and little else.

I was doing it through titanium back up. I did it through root explorer And it booted up just fine. What's funny is the others deleted fine through titanium back up but the google camera app made the phone not reboot.
Me too
i use banks gapps as well, and even tested them before he released them, but.. he still adds in more than i would like. and i still end up deleting system apks after a rom flash

I don't know what it is, but I dont trust using titanium for system mod stuff. I always prefer the manual root explorer method.

I agree. The only system things I restore with tibu are wallpaper, call log, and text messages.
i stopped using titanium backup when android 4.0 came out. and i stopped using titanium for backing up apps about a year before that. if its modding anything in the /system/ or in /sys/, then its done manually.

Well how do you back up your apps and bring all of the back exactly how they were on the other device. I got emulators and roms and stuff and it's easier to bring them back up using titanium back up. Is there a other app to use

I use tibu for apps, just not system apps and data except those I listed previously. I never have a problem this way. Restoring system apps/data with tibu has always caused me problems.

generally, i dirty flash everything(no data loss that way). i do make a nandroid backup in my recovery, just in case the dirty flash goes bad. but they never go bad. if you do have issues after a dirty flash, its usually app related, and clearing that apps data usually fixes things. but the times i do wipe, google is pretty good about restoring what i need

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.

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.

If you're rooted, etc. you can uninstall them with a file explorer such as ES File Manager. You can also use ROM Cleaner here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2247656&highlight=rom+cleaner
If you're not rooted, I don't think you can remove them.

On a non-rooted phone, if you're lucky, you can only hide the apps from the appdrawer.
In order to completely remove unwanted apps, you will need rood access.
The easiest way to uninstall an app completely would be to use Titanium Backup. Simply removing the apk from /system/app will also result in a remove, however the data part might still be on the phone.
You need to gain root access to your phone first. Then use a file explorer, or Titanium Backup to remove any unwanted programs.
If this is your first time rooting a device, try THIS application. I usually don't recommend toolboxes, or programs that gain root for you, but I had incredible success with this one just testing it.
Just be warned, that no one here can give any guarantee that the process will work without any problems.
If you're flashing custom ROMs then the best way, IMO, is to delete anything you don't use, straight from the ROM ... That way when you install the ROM you will be free of the garbage without having to do anything else ... Like mentioned previously though you will require root access to delete system apps.

i (like you) hate these bloatwares, i install ARHD 12.2 (ROM) and before you install it it give you an option to remove them, even Google Now, Maps, Youtube, ,,etc
it also gives you Volume wake to power ON your device with Volume keys

To uninstall them you need to be rooted and have a file manager like as file manager.
Otherwise you can disable them in app settings.
Out of curiosity, I see you've been a member since 2008 and have well over a thousand posts so your not a "noob." Yet, uninstalling system apps is a pretty basic question... Is this your first Android phone?
No its not, I usually run custom ROMs. And when I install them usually there are no system apps like this. This is honestly the first phone that I have been damn near 100% happy with stock. Its weird haha
yeha I just went thru and deleted the APKs using RootExplorer.

I'm finding myself in the same situation, not really used to stock but now liking it enough to stick with it!
Just to clarify for the less forward-thinking among us, if you're rooted but on stock android and don't want to re-flash everything should you decide you want those deleted system apps back, it's better to rename them (for instance change crappyapp.apk to crappyapp.apk.bak) than to delete them, so you can just remove the .bak and restore the app instead of having to hunt down the .apk and re-install.
Or just freeze it in Titanium Backup, which is the easiest way. No reason to NOT have Ti Backup installed in my opinion...
Has anyone been able to restore their apps via titanium? I backed up all my apps from 5.1.1 and when I try to restore on 6.0 titanium crashes. Any suggestions are welcome, thanks.
It worked for me. but I wait until all applications install from Google backup, then let TB restore the data.
TB is acting up. I suspect that something has changed in the way 6 treats /storage/emulated/legacy where TB searches for the license and its backups.
Change your backup folder location to /mnt/sdcard/titaniumbackup

Should work.
#TitaniumBackup 7.2.3 released: initial Android 6.0 support, XML Wi-Fi EAP (id+pwd), fixed Greenify FC. ChangeLog: http://bit.ly/1Me81dY
Yeah TB is being a bit funky at the moment on Marshmallow. Make sure you have full root access (I tested by trying to install busy box) before troubleshooting TB. Tread carefully and I would second making fresh installs of program files and only restoring program data when necessary.

Yep, just notified from the Play store. TB Working well so far...
I did a full TB backup with 5.1.1 on v7.2.2 and have installed and rooted 6.0.0 on nexus 5. Restoring does not work on either v7.2.2 or v7.2.3. I have even tried changing backup location to mnt/sdcard etc.
Restore of SMS worked, but apps just get stuck at 0%.
I have a feeling I might have to restore my TWRP backup of 5.1.1 and try another method. Unless anyone has any bright ideas?
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers
You have to manually enter folder location as it won't find it on its own.

I tried this and did not fix; still hangs on restore of apps.
On the otherhand restore of data works in apps that were installed by the play store.
In the SuperSu 2.50 forum one post mentioned having an issue with busybox (affecting TB) due to lack of space in the /system partition. He deleted some files and said it helped. I don't know if I'm ready to start deleting things until I'm sure that is the problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63184643&postcount=2039
Restore of app+data hangs indefinitely for me. Restore of data alone does not work: TB segfaults.
Same problem here. Backup works but tibu seems to be unable to write. I can't use tibu to move Google system apps to user either, so the advice in the SuperSU 2.5 forum doesn't help me, saw that earlier. With only 16mb free in system I tried to install busy box, and the install end reporting it was successful, but on the about tab it is still reporting bb not installed. So it's possible SuperSU not really doing its job.

Here's another solution for people who are stuck trying to restore apps. Choose the option to "Create update.zip from app+data backups". Then restore that through TWRP. I just did that and it works fine.
It's quicker and easier to switch kernels if that is causing the problem though. I'm sure this will all be fixed soon enough.
Thanks everyone for the help. I think I'll try the create update zip that cmo220 suggested. seems the easiest. If that doesn't work I'll try another suggestion. I'll let yall know how it goes.

you have to make a back up first, then you can make the update.zip. if you dont, its empty, and wont work. its in the same options where you make the backup, just lower

this is a very odd problem. im on 2.49 and have no issues
also, i had an "out of space error" originally, but it turned out to be because i didnt clean wipe before upgrading to M and system RW wasnt enabled.
Update.zip worked for me. You must boot after ROM after install, set it up, then go back and install the update.zip in twrp. And simms22 is right about the zip creation. Thanks all.

Didn't work. but after re-flashing stock Android M and wiping it was fixed
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.
