Hello,
CMS includes 4 apps that can be easily uninstalled: Calendar, EMail, Browser and Truecaller.
Where are these apps stored to permanently remove?
If I uninstall and I perform a wipe the apps are magically restored
I have located by my self....
There are at: /system/vendor/bundled-app

You can use system app remover also. Does the same purpose!
If you are rooted you can also use TiBu to remove system apps.

I want to delete the Amazon Market and Twitter App from my N1, but for some reason they are not showing up in Titanium Backup. Any idea why? Also is there another way for me to delete these apps?
Try refresh app list or restore missing apps with data
I delete twitter, but have Amazon on TB apps list
you can also delete thru adb, but I am not up on exaxct commands

Code:
> adb shell
# rm /system/app/<insert_package_name_here>.apk
Reboot for good measure as well.
I'm wondering if anyone know of a sort of whitelist when it comes to uninstalling system apps?
I'm running a stock 2.2 Android with root access and would like to uninstall all those pesky stock system apps that come with the Samsung rom. AllShare, Aldivo, Mini Diary, google maps, layar, latitude and so on.
I can uninstall them with Uninstaller for Root for example, but I'm sure some of these might generate errors if you just remove them.

Install Titanium Backup from the Market, this allows you to ackup or uninstall ALL apps.

Without any errors?
I can uninstall _all_ apps already, but I'm unsure if doing this will generate any unwanted errors.
Hiya
Is it possible to remove unwanted applications like google+ etc which come with stock ICS? I am running it with speedmod kernel and root.
Thanks

Yes, you can remove all such apps, just check this thread for list of apps you can uninstall and then either delete ".apk and .odex file" for that particular app from system/app using root explorer or use titanium backup.
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.
On OxygenOS Stock ROM (4.1.6) there are some apps came pre-installed that I don't use. For example Google Gmail, Hangout also OnePlus's own calculator/clock etc. I want to delete those apps and replace Gmail with Inbox. completely remove Hangout, OPCalculator and OPClock with Google's Calculator and Clock. I have deleted those apps before by manually deleting them from inside /System/App and /System/Priv-app
Now, I'm trying to write my 'own' TWRP flash-able updater script to do such action. But I am kind of confused if only deleting an APK's parent folder is enough to remove the apps completely? For example, if I only delete the folder System/App/(Deskclock) - is that enough or there will be related files remaining somewhere else?
* I know Titanium Backup or other debloat apps can perform similar task, but the main purpose of this question is to know how can this be done manually and properly without leaving un-necessary files in the system.
Thanks.
Deleting the folder of an app in /system/app will remove the app from your phone (as in, not showing up in launchers or the Installed Apps list). However, app data and updates may still be saved in the /data partition. To make sure all of it is removed, first clear data and uninstall all updates to the system apps you with to remove from the Installed Apps list (disable it), then delete the APK either through a root explorer, or a recovery script.

1. I wonder if this is even possible inside TWRP, I mean targeting those unwanted apps, uninstalling updates+ clearing app data/disable them.. Or you are suggesting me to remove them manually from the OOS interface/settings one by one?
2. Also while in TWRP, none of those app (that I will remove) are not functional so what's the points of clearing app data/uninstalling updates? why not simply delete /system/app/(app.apk) and /data/app/(related files.)
Thanks again.

1) If you know where the extra data/updates are stored in /data, then you could use a recovery script to delete them. It's kind of one-shot deal though, as unless you open the apps again (after re-flashing a ROM), they won't have any data saved to them the next time you want to delete them.
2) If they aren't functional, they likely won't have much app data to begin with. I would clear the app data from apps like Google Play Music or Movies (if you don't want to use them) before deleting them. Random Engineering Test Tools and unessential services won't have much data stored and can be deleted directly.
i think its just fine bt read other comments too for better understanding.
