All,
Since 6.0, Google has made a change to the N6 to not allow any modifications to the system partition. This is a bit frustrating as there is only 16MB left on system partition. There are some apps I would like to remove from my phone (G+, various language apks, google newstand, google play games) in order to increase the system partition. I have tried Titanium Backup without any success.
Has anyone else tried removing apps via recovery?
Flash or boot TWRP, then mount system and wreak havoc. Happy massacre.
istperson, can you expand on that a bit please? I've always used TiBU to freeze bloatware (Games, Pinyin, Korean Input, blah, blah, blah), but if I could usefully just delete them that would be a bonus.
Do you mean just go into TWRP and delete them? Is there any reason that this wouldn't work in, for example, Root Explorer or Solid Explorer? Why recovery in particular? Because you're outside the OS?

I would prefer to do this via a zip/script. I just need to figure out how to do that.
Okay.

Is this on stock ROM only? If I flash cm13 will I have this problem? Or is this 6.0 in general. I'm sorry I'm flashing a friends phone on a few days and am attempting to learn this device fast.

Can't you uninstall directly from TiBu?
Well, there's an "uninstall" button that I've never tried... - thanks for the reminder.
I was just wondering about the technical side. If the OS is active, as it is if I use the TiBU method, does it do everything that istperson's TWRP suggestion would do outside the OS?
Maybe I'll have a go at TiBU to see if it actually does free up space.

I routinely remove docs, sheets, and slides when I install an update which opens up ~200mb for things and they're all conveniently located close to eachother alphabetically in /system/app/Editordocs, editorsheets, editorslides. Just go into the file manager in TWRP after mounting /system and click into the folders hit select and then delete for all 3. Tada easy. language keyboards like pinyinIME, JapaneseInput, HindiIME are located in the same location along with Newsstand, G+ is called PlusOne, PlayGames etc.
As for zip/script to do it idk what to tell you, not my forte.
TiBup pretty much does/did the exact same thing as above not sure if it only removed the apk's or whether it just took out the whole folder. I do know it would never put the apps back the way they were and they almost never worked if you tried restoring them.

In Marshmallow you need a permissive kernel to remount system as rw when Android is running, and everything goes in the direction to disable this. And I think this is a good thing, because with all the news of malware form Google Play, that you can acquire in an official way, imagine what they can do with permissive kernels.
So it's the best if we accept, that we can only modify system by flashing it from fastboot, or by mounting it in custom recovery.

If you could please elaborate, in which way did this manifest exactly?
Strange, that. After reading your post, istperson (thank you) I thought I'd go in and destroy my N10 by running amok in TWRP. I did press "Mount" and got a screen which offered me very little, certainly not a list of directories. It looked pretty much like a display (i.e. non-update) screen with nothing interactive except "Return". In the end I just went into Advanced/File Manager and created havoc in there, deleting useless keyboards, Docs, Sheets, etc., so far with no apparent ill effect.

So if I boot into TWRP and press mount then I get a list of available volumes:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After ticking 'system', in file manager then it appears in the folder list, and entering it, there are the apps:
Ah, I think I see... I guess you mean that if I don't tick "system" then when I go into File Manager the system partition isn't available?
I was thinking more along the lines of "Tick system, it will immediately display the system partition", whereas what you mean is "Tick system, return, go to File Manager, edit system" - right? That's actually what I did, so thanks for that pointer.

I've seen some people posting some of the problems I've been experiencing, and as of yet, with out any satisfactory solution.
This is what I do from Amon Ra's Recovery 1.2.3:
1. perform Nandroid Backup
2. backup apps on Ext to Fat32
3. Wipe my 2nd Ext...install another ROM
4. Restore apps from Fat32 back to Ext
Now all my apps will be present in the App Tray.
Some are available for use while some are not. The ones that are not will have a "whitish" icon with a "cog" on it, where the icon for the app used to be. From what I understand, this has to do with paid and non-paid apps. That's cool. Just re-install.
But the problem is, when I attempt to install "some of the whitish" apps, a notification on the screen says it's already installed. When I attempt to "uninstall some of the other whitish" apps, both the install and uninstall boxes are grayed out.
The other thing is this....when I go into settings>applications>manage applications...the same apps I want to uninstall aren't on the list to choose from. I have an uninstaller app and some are on there and some aren't. The ones that are on the list I don't have a problem uninstalling and re-installing.
An example is an app called "Cardar". It's on my home screen but doesn't show up on the manage application list or under the uninstall app. I have a few apps like that that I can't find. Pocket DJ Full is another.
One other issue I'm having is when I receive a call I'll get an option to force close the program the dialer utilizes. If I hit the green button to answer the call, I can accept the call, have my convo, then press the end button or press "force close". to hang up. My email is doing the same thing when I try to enter my account info. The messaging program that comes stock is doing the same thing.
Any ideas? Any solutions? Any and everything that has worked for all of you is welcome as a suggestion/solution to my problems.
Thanks in advance. I appreciate the assistance.
Since it sounds like you are having so many problems I would wipe the card and repartition it, wipe phone, and reflash the rom. It might be a ***** going back in and reinstalling your apps but at least you would know it's done properly.
Exactly what I was trying to avoid. Was trying to see if I could get replies to deal with the individual issues and I'd correct them one by one.
Quick question... if I do a factory reset will that wipe out my Amon Ra Recovery? As far as apps I have backed up to the Fat32. I know the Fat32 is on the SDcard but stranger things have happened when we dibble and dabble in this thing we call modding.

No it won't wipe out your recovery.
NO you will not loose your recovery.... As far as I've been seeing the Ra recovery is not fully wiping the ext ,been noticing a lot of people with the same issue ... re-partition your sd-card or just manually clear your ext from console by >
mount /system/sd
rm -rf /system/sd/*
this will clear all your apps off your ext... The trick is when you first sign in after a wipe wait for the sync , after open your market app go to downloads and all your apps will be there , they will say FREE (purchased apps are always there ) ,,, once you don't back out of that screen you have all your downloaded apps in one place for reinstall... its a pain I know ,but its the only way to really get a clean install ,as I don't like any of the backup apps .....
Hope this helps.,.,.,
how come no one ever suggested a fix_permissions for this, on ra's image it is the fix uid mismatches. sorry when i hear fc i automaticlly think try fixing permissions
hahaha I just saw your location grid. That ain't reverand like
again, you guys are thinking of priets, reverends are allowed to do whatever they want, we can get booty, lapdances and hookers
hey preme, you know where i am and i gotta say

Appreciate the help. The thing with the market (staying on that page to retain apps) I've known about. And I think that's the only way to really retain all your apps at this point in the game.
Did the fix permissions thing too. No dice.

my first post...long time lurker though.
try clearing your dalvik-cache too. from what I've read the 16GB cards don't take too well to partitioning, so that may be an issue as well (I've got one as well, partitioned and it lags a lot, considering just going back to a single partition). You could also trying to fsck your ext2 partition.
Hello all, after some problems with app2sd i reinstalled my apps via a simply backup of my apk files in system/sd/app.
Anyway I was unable to restore some apps, in particular those that had a .zip extension and not an .apk extension. The problem is that Market/Download controls in such situation are disabled, so i can't uninstall/reinstall nothing.
Waiting some days for the upgrade of each app, i was able to restore all apps meno one. The application is the free SunMoon (com.jw.SunMoon).
I 've tried to:
sign com.jw.SunMoon.zip to try a reinstall but adb install com.jw.SunMoon.apk returns Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]
delete /system/sd/app/com.jw.SunMoon.zip
delete the directory /data/data/com.jw.SunMoon
edit /data/system/packages.xml removing all entry for com.jw.SunMoon
But nothing changed, i'm unable to reinstall SunMoon via Market so far.
Any ideas????
adb uninstall?
Delete the apps you having problems with, then reinstall them. You can use SUFB app from the market or rootexplorer also from the market...

I already delete manually app, dex, odex, data app and any pointers in /data/system/packages.xml.
Anyway the Market app continues to be blocked, i can't uninstall, install or reinstall SunMoon. The only one thing that unblock the market app is an application upgrade, so i can push the upgrade button and install a new copy.
I don't know how to eventually use the com.jw.SunMoon.zip i backupped from /system/sd/app, android tell me it's unsigned (Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]), but trying to sign and install, will return Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT] .
What rom are you running ???/
If its enomther's rom you need to delete the app from the expstick in system/sd <>>> Cause in additon to the system/sd/app he has system/sd/expstick/app also (I think its part of his VM system ) thats all i can think of ....

The app do not installs in /app-private (/data/app-private; /system/sd/app-private) , I'm sure.
Anyone know if i forgot some configurations file to edit?
Anyone knows if the problem is on the market server?
Why some apps installs like a .zip file?
I'm having this exact same issue, and it's happened to me every time I use Backup for Root Users. If I restore just the APKs, nothing ending in .zip gets restored. If I also restore the Market db (so I can get updates), I get the same thing you got, with disabled Open and Uninstall buttons in the Market. I know I have no references to any of the apps anywheres. Specifically, I'm trying to restore Twidgit Lite. Anybody have any answers?
Just in case anyone's curious, I fixed the problem. Copy /data/data/com.android.vending/databases/assets.db to my computer, then open it with a sqlite client. Search in the assets10 table for the row where package_name matches one of the previously mentioned problem applications, then update the row by changing the state field to 'UNINSTALLED'. Push the assets.db file back to its original location, and either reboot or force close the Market app (using Taskiller or what have you). When you reopen Market, the problem apps will now allow installation.

Thx man! Very useful, sometimes private apps bring a lot of problems.
hold on, i was about to make a thread asking how to uninstall apps like amazon mp3 or the stock calculator. Is this how you do it or is there an easier method?
No, the stock apps are in /system/app, just delete the apk and your set.

Hi all,
After completely formatting my phone for Marshmallow I have noticed that my system partition does not have any free space
However I want to do the following -
Adaway - Install latest host files (says not enough free space)
Install Busybox
Install BetterBatteryStats as a system app (says not enough free space)
Install Cerberus as a system app (says not enough free space)
My current partitions look like this:

Installed Hellscore kernel (elemental doesn't have system r/w access) then removed some google apps to make some space. Seems to be working now!
Cool stuff
Since xposed and gravitybox are available on mm now, I finally switched to it as a daily driver. I had the same problem with not enough space on the system partition. My solution was to flash the opengapps stock package in recovery. It left me with over 400mb of space on the system partition, as well as having all of my gapps updated.

It's funny that if you build AOSP and add full gapps, it's still about 1GB while the factory image is almost a complete 2GBs.
So if an app is unnecessary, it is save to delete it form /system? There's no odex / deodex concerns?

I only use Android occasionally so I'm not up to date on this stuff. What is opengapps? I googled it but I don't see the point and they're not explaining. Is it open source implementation of google apps? Is the point that it's smaller? How is it smaller if it's not open source? When you installed it, it deleted the stock apps and that's how it saved you space?

I safely uninstalled the keyboards in languages I don't know, as well as docs, sheets, and slides. That left me with more than enough room to install my extras.
As for the opengapps, they are another provider of gapps packages for custom roms. I'm not sure if it's in all packages or just this one, but there is a script that allows the package to be flashed over a stock rom. From what i can tell, it simply replaces the odexed apps with deodexed (and updated) versions of the same app. I'm not sure if there are any other changes that account for the extra space, but I haven't had any issues.

All of the ones I asked. At this point, if I had to guess, it's the plain google closed source apps, but installed to the sdcard instead of system. I essentially did that manually. Deleted all the google apps that are on the play store. Gave me about 500MB free space.
do you got your answers?
i have the same problem,the system should be 1.9g while after flash a lite rom（1.4G）,the system has only 100m free, which means the system partation become to 1.5G.
My looks like this:
/system 1.9G 1018.7M 949.5M 4096
I have an AOSP built rom.

Delete some unused system apps. I can't advice you to which apps, but I'd guess there are some unused foreign language keyboard you can remove. Remove with a file explorer that recognises your root (see below), Titanium backup or any app for specifically removing system apps (there are a few).
The problem with SuperSU might be that you're using version 2.71 in systemless mode and there are a number of apps (ES file explorer for example) that have problems with that. It's up to the app developer to fix their code. Another fix for you could be to go back to an earlier version of SuperSU. If this is your problem, that is.
Good luck.

Of course, for your problem with apps not recognising root you can also try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66140836&postcount=5493

Hi guys,
first of all, I'm german and dont know if i translate all Titanium Backup texts right. So sorry if you dont understand everything, but I try my best
Now, i got a little problem here. I've used Titanium Backup on my S3 to create an encrypted backup of my apps and sync it to Google Drive. Several days ago my S3 did break and I bought a new one, a Nexus 6. Now I wanted to restore my Apps from the backup. What I did first is to sync the backup files from my Google Drive via Titanium Backup. That went fine and made no problems at all. Via a file browser I can see the backup files on my phone. The path to the backup folder is set right in Titanium Backup. I can also verify the backup files in TB succesfully with the passphrase. But when I try to batch restore the backups I cant. In TB in the list with all these batch actions I wanted to use "restore missing Apps with Data" then select all the Apps and let TB do its job. But I cant, after the "restore missing Apps..." there is a 0. It seems like it is not recognizing my backups files here...
What could the problem be?
Help would be greatly appreciated here!
upload your backup to drive, then restore your backup from drive to your n6. dont batch restore from your phone, restore from drive. your backup is there, not on your phone.
Dont know what you mean. The backup is on my n6. The backup was on Google Drive, but I synced it to my TB backup folder on my phone that is set as my backup folder in TB. Also i dont see a possibility to directly restore apps from Google Drive.

I have not used titanium backup since marshmallow came out but if I am understanding correctly the 0 you are referring to is in the progress bar during the restore operation. I had an issue like that in lollipop and what fixed it was setting kernel to permissive using the SELinux mode changer app. Last I heard though that app no longer works as intended on marshmallow with the new systemless SuperSU rooting method. There are a few permissive kernels floating around you could use. I think elementalx still has the permissive option on install, Hellscore has a permissive version of its zip.
No, I mean this in the restore section:

You need to restore manually.
Apps will be restored on your N6 after a factory reset when you login with your Gmail account.
When the setup of your N6 is finished you can restore data files on the virtual sdcard.

Apps will be restored on your N6 after a factory reset when you login with your Gmail account.
When the setup of your N6 is finished you can restore data files on the virtual sdcard.

Indeed, I hoped you had the Google backup set on your S3. Now you have to download the apps again one by one from the play store.

Maybe I should have used it. Titanium Backup seems not to be very trustworthy...

No, I mean this in the restore section:

honestly, i havent used TB to back up in a long time. i did make a backup that i later zipped up(restored it in twrp recovery) one time last year. but google does a pretty good job at restoring apps, system settings, and wallpaper. for me at least
Already checked that, there is no filter set in TB.
Also in this tab i can see the backups, but I can not restore it. Maybe its a problem that I made the backups with Android 5.1.1 and have now 6.0.1?

Oh, I think i got the problem... I just backuped the apps data and have to reinstall the app from the playstore manually, and after that I can restore the data. Dont know why that is. There was a time where TB installed the app automatically...

it still does, depending on what you select of course. i like the idea of backing up then making a twrp flashable zip. it all gets reinstalled in one shot, a few seconds.

Ok, now I will have a look into twrp backups. But I think there will be no way to automate this, right? Maybe via Tasker or some kind of script?

no idea, but I don't think so considering its done in recovery and not in the os. there's a twrp app you might check out, it might help in automation.

Do you do this through Titanium Backup using 'Create "update.zip" from app and data backups' under batch actions or a different way?

under batch options. first, i make a regular titanium backup, then i go back into batch options and press create update.zip. this zips up your backup into a twrp flashable.

just remember to make a backup first. first time I did it, I forgot :angel:
Why OnePlus? Why?
Anyway, if you want to remove the pre-installed Netflix crap, here's the app locations :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Obviously you'll need root access as the items are in the system folder.
Just use a root browser (I used root explorer) to change the permissions to 777 (full access for all) to all of those entries, remember to enable it for sub-folder and items on the folders too, then you should be able to delete them.
Stop it OnePlus, naughty.
I jist disable it in App detail and it basically no longer "exists". Its what I do to all stock apps. It is nice OnePlus allows disabling of all nonessential apps. Unlike Samsung or LG.
flash from h2os (china version, a lot of junk app) to oxygen 9.5.4 EU, no netflix integrated.
I've been using this for a long time. It's always worked well for me

Always comes in handy when flashing new roms
Same here, been using System app remover on my last few devices. It also back's the removed apps to Internal storage...
Still better. Use 'Debloater' module from Magisk repository. (requires BusyBox installed).
Works like a charm.
I use SD Maid Pro to delete apps entirely
Agree that debloater from magisk is good. You can delete in multiples and scan throughout your phone.

Sorry to revive an old post but I am using Debloater with busybox installed. When I uninstall Netflix it finishes as expected but doesn't actually uninstall. It even shows under "restore uninstalled apps".

Try booting to TWRP, mount system, open Advanced tab, use file manager within TWRP, navigate to /system/product/app/, delete the netflix-stub and Netflix-activation packages, then unmount system through TWRP, finally reboot system.

I tried to do this same process for deleting Gmail and it didn't work. Gmail was still there when I booted up. Just an FYI. I can't seem to delete Gmail from system apps. Everyone has theories but no one can seem to delete it. I'm rooted by the way.

You've navigated to this directory within twrp, deleted the Gmail2 folder, and the Gmail app is still in your app tray? If so, maybe you can uninstall as you would a regular user app at that point.

Oh man, I feel so stupid. I didn't even think of uninstalling Gmail like a regular user app. Amazing! Thank you! That worked!
