Hi,
If I may please humbly request a bit of help from anyone who might have an answer, I would greatly appreciate it!!!
I am Rooted and running Marshmallow 6.0.1 and my problem is that when I use the "System App Remover" that I have used to Uninstall Bloatware from all of my devices, the app(s) I try to Uninstall will either:
Fail to Uninstall
Or...
Will Uninstall, but then immediately Reinstall themselves!
I'm just talking about normal Bloatware, like Facebook, Amazon, Flipboard, etc.. Nothing extraordinary.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I can do to get the Bloatware off of my phone, please???
Thank You!

After uninstalling apps they go temporory to recycle bin you must go to recycle bin in system app remover options and delete again all apps there then reboot.

That is trues, but only if you have "AutoBackup" on in the Settings. I have it Disabled.
Also, just as a kindly FYI:
I set it up the same way as I always do and I've never had this problem (good catch on mentioning the setting though, thanks!).
I failed to mention (Sorry! My bad!) that when the apps reinstall, it's not after a reboot, or even after a little while. It's immediate! I mean, you haven't even counted to 3 yet and the message saying that it/they have reinstalled shows and the apps are there again.
Thank you for such a quick response! If you think of anything else, please let me know and thank you again!

Another things to look out for is the "Preloadinstaller.apk" file. Mine is located in "/system/app/Preloadinstaller/Preloadinstaller.apk." I suspect yours will be in the same place. Mine has been modified so that it doesn't reinstall bloatware once it has been removed. Some people simply delete that file. I haven't tried deleting it myself though because every time I delete something from the /system directory my systemui starts to crash. Instead, I just freeze bloatware. They are still in my rom but they don't load into ram, they don't update, and they don't try to reinstall. Good luck

i already use one click root to root my captivate, but could any tell me how to uninstall att apps? or install apps that are not from market?
cuz i am not able to do so.
when i went to application management, there is no uninstall button under att apps.
and when i went to install apps that are not on market place, it is still said "for securtiy your phone is set to block installation of applications not sourced in adnroid market."
You will have to root your phone and use titanium backup to remove the AT&T apps. To allow side loading apps, aka those not in the market, you will have to modify the settings.db on your phone. There are posts that cover both of these items throughout the forum, just do some searching and you should be able to find them.
Titanium backup to uninstall apps. Can be found on market. Make sure you know what you are doing before you get rid of something. Do not delete gtalk, talk, por just about anything google

Nope, root only gives you access to SuperUser, which application like Titanium Backup use the superuser privileges to modify locked in items like AT&T bloatware.
I would like to remove some of the factory installed apps on my Galaxy Tab7.
It has gingerbread 2.3.3 installed and has been rooted. I also have the free version of Titanium Backup installed.
I found one thread talking about this issue, but no explaination on how to remove the apps.
Thanks.
Systemappremover can do this for you.

Just click on the app you want to remove and there is a pop-up with options : freeze, uninstall...ect. Be careful in doing so, the system may be unstable if you remove certain apps. Or you can just freeze them, less risky.
Hope it helps.
Edit : sorry I misread your post, I don't know if you can do it with the free version, I doubt it.
You should be able to freeze these apps in Titanium Backup. My recommendation would be to freeze the erroneous apps in favor of removing them, or at the very least back them up first and copy to a safe place.
your correct

I need to use paid version.
Thanks.
While I do personally advocate purchasing the app, as for me it has been one of the most important pieces, it seems odd to me that you can't freeze/uninstall in free mode.
If you have the SDK you can use a command prompt in ADB to remove/rename them. But, that takes a little bit of knowledge of both the commands and the file structure.
Therefore, my suggestion is to shell out the $5 for pro.
yea...quit being so cheap!

okey then u have the same fix but an app wich is more useful nice
Would really appreciate some help.
Removed some bloatware via Titanium Backup, and of course, I got trigger happy.
process com.motorola.contacts (Contacts force closes)
process com.motorola.conversations (text messaging force closes)
So I have Root Explorer and got a hold of a system dump for Bionic.
I started by moving YahooContacts.apk (one of the apps I guess I shouldn't have uninstalled) back to the /system/app folder...but it doesn't show up anywhere as an installed app (just that the .apk was moved). If I try to actually select the .apk and try to install it says "Application did not Install" but the .apk IS moved.
Processes still don't work after moving.
I would appreciate any help, at this point I can't text or place calls. Thanks in advance, this forum helped me with the entire root process.
You cannot freeze/remove ANY of the other authenticator apps, it will cause contacts to freeze. I ran into that on the Droid 3.
First off there is no need to delete/remove, Freezing them accomplishes the same thing but most importantly it allows you to reverse what you have broken by Defrosting it. Do yourself a favor stop deleting and start freezing. If 16GB is not enough internal storage for you then you might consider an external HD from Seagate!!!!!!! LOL
I realize I made a big mistake. That's totally on me But it's in the past
Do I have any options to get this working again? I am definitely going to freeze apps in the future.
If I did delete an authenticator process, is there any way I can get those back? Would they be available through a system dump?
I believe that you need to make sure the permissions are correct after reinstalling an apk to the system/app folder. I've never done this, so I'll let you do the research. I've heard you can use root explorer to do this or a script with terminal emulator. Sorry I can't help more
I have the exact same problem, and am attempting to troubleshoot this issue on a different forum, however I am not allowed to post links but I'll try and keep you updated.
Edit: It's not a problem with permissions, I've made sure that they're correct with root explorer. It seems to be a Bionic-specific issue. I might just return it at this rate.
Thankfully, there's an unroot to use. I think im in the same boat. re-added all the yahoo related .apk and .odex and set permissions/owner, still nothing. Unroot and hope the Verizon dude is in a good mood!
Except now ADB is throwing "ERROR: ADB could not be granted root access" when trying to unroot
excellent.
Someone in the thread I was talking about had some success, its on droidforums dot net, droid bionic forum, bionic support, HELP! accidentally deleted IMSCServer from Droid Bionic thread. Maybe you can try something I haven't.
just do a factory reset thats what i had to do as I had the same problem.
I tried that, it didn't work... Did you actually get your system apps back? Did you do it through settings or the recovery menu?
i froze my bloat thats prob the difference and it was yahoo that caused the problem for me...

It really begs the question why anything with Yahoo is required by the system. Furthermore, why did they make it so frustratingly hard to reinstall system apps on the Bionic? Really disappointed in Motorola for this.
Here is the fix for Contacts, restore these files and set correct permission, reboot and presto Contacts fixed
That did it.. I have been looking for the YAHOO Contacts.apk file for 3 days with a bloody wortheless phone that I spent 300 shells on!
BTW I agree with Glimmerman, WHY DID YAHOO get involved in contacts? Talk about a sneaky way in integrate them.

Sorry if I'm newbtastic here but what do I do with these APKs and odex. I tried installing with ES explorer but it would not install. Am I supposed to move these files somewheres? /system/app then try install ? Thanks
answered my own question. I WAS newbtastic afterall. LOL. Thanks anyways. This did it. Dang Yahoo!
lol yep my girlfriend did this yesterday fortunately i have a bionic too so i just pulled the files from my phone and pushed to hers.
damn you yahoo.
also, apparently go contacts EX will 'fix' the problem (you must use their app however)

Wait - WHERE are we putting the Contact fix and do we extract it once we've moved it?

Hello All,
I have unlocked my bootloader and rooted my HTC One with Supersu.
I have used a few different programs like Root Uninstaller or Titanium Backup to try and remove the bloatware apps from my phone. It says the app is uninstalled. Then if I restart the phone they re-appear. I have been digging around the forums and suspect this may be due to the S-On function.
Could someone help explain this to me and how I remove these correctly.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Reece
I'd recommend freezing the apps with Titanium, rather than uninstalling. It should fix your issue with apps reappearing.

Thanks if you know I would also like to know how to remove these and why these would be re-appearing. Just for my understanding.
because you said maybe it was related to s-on here is a video how you become easely s-off.

theres a system partition within the phone that isnt really allowed to be touched. for some reason certain apps hang around in that area. some custom roms like viperONE have the option to turn these system partitions the R/W which is read write. this will allow you to remove the apps permanently.
Any help?

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...
