There is No need of uninstalling any apps, use greenify if needed.
If you really want to uninstal, then backup the app you want to uninstal using titanium and then remove it. If something breaks use the backup

Hi everyone,
I've just gotten my note today and it comes pre-installed with LOTS of bloatware by telco.
Is there anyway to remove them? I tried to uninstall via applications in settings but it doesn't allow me to remove them.
Googled but can't find the answer too, so very much appreciate if someone knows of a solution.
Thanks.
Using Titanium Backup, I pretty much removed the same stuff from my Note as my S2. I got info from this thread. Also, there's a reference for S2 apps with comments on how safe they are to remove here.
If I flash to a custom rom, it will remove all bloatwares as well right?
Im new to Android, just gotten my phone and have not root yet. Was thinking of playing around with my phone for awhile before i attempt to root and flash, im worried of screwing up and bricking

A custom rom will only come without bloatware if the developer chose to remove it from the rom. Just use titanium backup. It only takes a second to remove the app.
thx for the help.
Ive rooted and installed titanium backup, used it to remove quite a few bloatwares.
However there are some bloatwares that cant be removed (ive removed it, but when i restarts my phone it comes back again).
But at least there's alot of them thats gone now

Hi all,
Im new to Android but I have done a fair bit of developing with Windows phones. I have recently bought a LG Optimus 4X HD and the first thing I want to do is install PhoneLocator Pro for security.
In Windows I used to install security software to the extended ROM so if it was factory reset the software would stay. PhoneLocator Pro says it can do this if the phone is rooted. I have read the guide to rooting and im ready to give it a go.
My question is after I have rooted it, installed the software and removed the bloatware is it then possible to unroot the phone to protect it from accidental deletion and also to increase the security by not allowing deletion of PhoneLocator Pro when it is installed to the ROM.
I have done a lot of reading up on rooting but cant find anything on unrooting. I have also searched but when you search for "ROOT" a lot comes up.
Thanks

"5th. Automatically turns on the GPS giving you greater accuracy. Available only on phones with ROOT"
Soo, if you unroot the phone, the app won't work...
Stock apps can be uninstalled from the phone, and if you unroot there is no problem.
We can't have everything...
Thanks for your help.
If I leave the GPS activate all the time it should still work though shouldnt it?
How do I unroot and then i can try it?

In "SuperSU" you have the option "Remove root completly".
About the app... I don't know if only needs root for that option or to work normally. I never tried that app.
Thanks RuedasLocas.
In your opinion what freeze app software do you consider the best. Im thinking of trying App Quarantine and AntTek App Manager. From what I can see a few havent been updated for a while and therefore dont run so well on ICS.

Sorry if I steal the answer to this question but you can use the free app SDmaid. It also has an App management menu where you can freeze apps.
Or use Titanium Backup Pro Root.

Well... I use Root Uninstall Pro and AntTek Explorer, now, if they are the best or not...
They're very easy to work with and very effective.
RU allow to uninstall or freeze, give the app file location and directory thru AntTek Explorer.
AntTek Explorer allow to see and manage hidden files on the device.
If you plan to do some more Android stuff (especially flash roms what might be possible soon), I'd recommend you to buy Ti Backup.It's great for backups and can freeze, root uninstall, fix market links and more. I have never regretted buying it because you can do so much with it.

I have my S4 Active rooted and want to get rid of the usless and "have to pay" apps. How can I do this without screwing up the phone?

I wouldn't uninstall the apps. Use Titanium and freeze the apps. A lot of people ran into problems when the OTA update came out. If system files were modified or deleted, the update wouldn't go through. If there's another update, simply unfreeze them. I don't know if we'll get any more updates but freezing them is safer

Agreed, just freeze them. I uninstalled all the bloatware, and now I have no screen rotation (which I read is believed to be related to uninstalling Samsung Hub).

Guys, please help.
I'm using an app that does not work with the rooted android.
Is it possible to root and then delete some useless Verizon apps and then unroot a Verizon LG G2?
TIA

What app? You can try installing Xposed and one of the root cloaking modules...

Good for enterprise.
I must not have root and also I don't want to use cloaking apps.
Thanks.

As far as I know, there's no way to unroot once rooted (except going back to stock, but that'll just put the bloat back in). I read quite a bit regarding modding and have never come across it.

Probably gonna have to stick to stock then... You can disable most apps via App Manager...
Thanks.
You can unroot from super su. If you scroll all the way down in the supersu settings It will say complete unroot. You can do that. I've checked it and root went away. Although I didn't modify any files/recovery/kernel or delete anything.
I am contemplating giving up my root to update to 5.1.1. But I need some advice, on what apps I can use to backup and restore all my apps with app data without root. Also, what apps can I use to remove bloatware without root? These are my two main reasons for root. Thanks

There is no app that will remove bloatware without root. As far as backups go, your best bet would be helium backup,

I think your only option would be to go into application manager and just disable the things you don't want to use. However, there is a finite list of apps you can disable.
