How to uninstall apps included in a ROM (rooted phones)

i couldnt install apps like "Gtalk service" or "Live wallpapers picker" in CKDroid
or some start up apps in different ROMs?
how can i uninstall them? ...any uninstaller with root permission?

You need to use adb and uninstall them via command line using the "rm" command.

and you need to know what you are doing. removing gtalkservice will break the market (and probably other things).

Removing APPS that come with the rom

hi,
is it possible to remove apps that come with the rom of the supplier? if yes, how can i do that?
tnx,

Yes, but you need root access, and with Titanuim or other similary app just simple uninstall app.

Also if you find the apps under manage apps (all) then you may be able to do it there, or at least disable them.

[CUSTOM ROM][Xperia T][SECURITY] which custom ROM sends least data to google?

Hi guys,
i was wondering which custom ROM has limited or completely cancelled functionality of sending data to Google. Which custom ROM is "safest" and "most secure" in this area? if it is possible to use some application, which limits/prevents apps (or OS directly) to access sensitive data and send them "anywhere" in an uncontrolled way - please let me know. Thank you.
Kind regards,
tlsty

Try using CM10 with Orbot app enabled (=TOR, network anonymizer), also use Xposed and the module XPrivacy.
It is hard to prevent Google from observing your device if the device os itself os made by Google. ^^

I think that's not a question in between the different ROM's. But of you ask this question, the general answer would be the older the "better".
Than higher the version no. of Google services and then more Google apps installed than more meta-date transfers.
The easiest solution is not installing Gapps, and disabling "let Google apps use this device's location any time it is on".

Hi peter-k,
thx for suggestion. it makes sense i already disabled the location providing and anything what i know as IT guy, but i am considering to choose a custom rom (CMpreferably). do custom roms have google services running? is it possible to actually stop them / prevent them from starting on the boot?
thx

Even on stock ROM you can totally prevent any and all google services from running. You can try with Autostart Manager, System Tuner, and I think there even might be an Xposed module that does that too.
I for one disable/freeze some of the Google Services/apps, and only enable them when I need access to the Play Store; I use a script with Smanager, takes about 10 seconds and is a lot easier and practical than looking for and disabling receivers every time I flash a new ROM.

1.- Install Smanager from the Play Store.
2.- Copy the attached files to your sdcard (skip to step 4), or
3.- Use Smanager to create two new scripts with the following code:
Filename 1: enableplaystore
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# enable play store
pm enable com.android.vending
pm enable com.google.android.gsf
pm enable com.google.android.location
pm enable com.google.android.gms
Filename 2: disableplaystore
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# disable play store
pm disable com.android.vending
pm disable com.google.android.gsf
pm disable com.google.android.location
pm disable com.google.android.gms
4.- Use Smanager to navigate to the location where you copied/saved the scripts, select one of the scripts and mark the "SU" box so that it runs with Superuser access, then press the "Save" button. Repeat for the second script.
To run the scripts you can either:
- Open SManager and press the Menu button, then press Scripts, then select the script you want to run and press the "Run" button
- Create widgets on your home screen that point to the script you want to run
- Install SMwidgets from the Play Store and create shortcuts to your scripts (which is more organized since you can put all your shortcuts in a folder).
Then, you can use the "disableplaystore" to disable the selected packages, and "enableplaystore" to enable it whenever you need access to the Google Services Framework/Location Services/Play Store, etc.
Just so you know, this will prevent apps that use Google's GCM service to deliver notifications to your phone, but I figured you already knew that since you want to disable everything from contacting Google.

Remove bloatware apps on realme xt [no root]

Hi guys, most of the Realme users aren't a fan of the color OS since its heavy, looks immature, and filled with bloatware. However there is a way to remove all the bloatware in Color OS. NO ROOT IS REQUIRED AND ITS NOOB FRIENDLY.
Code:
* DO NOT REMOVE ANY IMPORTANT SYSTEM APP, I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF SOMETHING UNEXPECTED HAPPENS WITH YOUR DEVICE ;_;
REQUIREMENTS:
1. A PC/laptop with drivers and minimal ADB installed.
2. Realme XT, and a type-C USB cable to connect the device to the computer/laptop.
3. Package viewer app that can be installed from Playstore. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.csdroid.pkg&hl=en_US
PROCEDURE:
Firstly, go to settings, click on 'About Phone' and continuously tap the Version until it says that 'now your'e a developer'. Then go to additional settings, developer options, enable it and turn on the "USB DEBUGGING" option under developer options.
1. Now connect your phone to PC/laptop using the data cable, and choose transfer files option from the popup on your phone.
2. Now migrate to the folder where minimal ADB is installed, and hold shift key and right click on mouse button, and click on 'Open Powershell window here'.
3. Now type 'adb devices' on the powershell window, and allow access from from device. A serial code must be shown on your screen.
4. Now type 'adb shell' and press enter. Now a new line should come starting with "RMX1921:/ $" , means we are good to go.
5. Now you have to enter commands to remove apps. The command is 'pm uninstall -k --user 0 package name' then press enter. In the place of package name, you have to type the name of the package which needs to be installed. Now open the package viewer app and look for the package name of the app which needs to be removed. You can remove the built-in bowser, calculator, compass, app market, music, roaming, video, weather, etc.
For example, if you need to remove browser, the command which you have to type is, 'pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.nearme.browser' then press enter. You'll see a message saying success. Bullseye! Happy bloatware removing!!
6. If you wanna install any app again, in adb shell, type "cmd package install-existing <package name>" and the particular app will be reinstalled.
COMMANDS USED:(Type these after typing "adb shell")
*For removing an app,
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name>
*For installing it back,
Code:
cmd package install-existing <package name>
If you have any doubts, feel free to comment. I'll be happy to help you.
Thank you. Cheers.

There won't be any issues, coz the system update won't cause any changes to the apps.

You can remove the apps which are provided by realme, like their browser, app market, compass, roaming, weather etc. Don't remove any system apps. (Google related and framework related apps).

This is a really good info. Thanks a ton for this procedure of bloatware removal. I was really searching for root to remove these bloatwares. But without root this is awesome.
Tell me one thing, by same procedure can we install any app as system app?

For installing an app as a system app, you need root access.

Can you please elaborate on this further?
These are the apps I'm planning to get rid of, but due to the lack of adequate information I'm reluctant to actually uninstall them, anticipating whether the action may cause system wide instability.
Clone Phone
Game Center (however, I could NOT find any package name for this one on App Inspaector)
File Manager (I want to replace it with Solid Explorer Pro)
Messages (I want to make Microsoft SMS Organiser as one and only messaging app; hence, this one is important)
Photos (want to replace it by Google Photos)
I tried deleting all of them once - which resulted me unable to select ringtone/notification/alarmtone of my choice - forcing me to factory reset the phone.
Yes, I know I can assign default apps through the app manager setting - but what is the point of keeping two messaging apps (or for that matter, two gallery apps)?
I need to have these information about the cross-dependencies of these apps with the system wide instability issues. Thanks in advance.

could you share the list of maximum number of bloatware, those can be removed safely without tampering os?

Of these apps, you can remove clone phone. It won't cause any issue. You can't remove game centre (since the package name is unknown). Since file manager is linked with the ringtone selection, don't remove it too. Photos and Messages can be removed.
However i would recommend you to remove clone phone and photos app from your mentioned list of apps, since others are framework related apps.

As i said previously, you can remove the bloatware related to color OS. I can give the list of apps which i have removed, and i have no issues with the OS.
1. App market
2. Browser
3. Calculator
4. Clone phone
5. Keep notes
6. Music
7. Video Player
8. Weather and weather services
9. YouTube.
Do not remove any framework related apps like file manager. I'm not responsible if any unstablity occurs due to the removal of framework apps.

The package name for Game Center is com.nearme.gamecenter but every time I try to uninstall it, the prompt just tells me its failed [delete_failed_internal_error]
Anyone know a way around this?

You can perform a factory reset to restore your phone to original state. All the removed bloatware apps will be reinstalled. Or else, you can just use the command to reinstall the particular app. The command is given in the first post.

damn, so imanager is the app that causes the apps? thats ludicrous
if they put ads on their own apps its fine, but they're advertising on an app they didnt make

can you please share the exact code you used to disable com.vivo.pem. i tried {adb shell pm disable com.vivo.pem} and i got an error. said file not accessible or found or something similar. thx!

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 <package_to_disable>
My tip for finding apps, hidden apps and their package names is "APK export". It lists all apps including system apps (when set to view them) and the package name. It can be used to saving the APK before delete too.
