I just recently rooted my "Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX", and I was trying to decide what apps I should essentially download. I'm not a hardcore tech guy, but I'd like to have some fun with my phone(Bad, and good ;D). I heard their are apps that can crack wifi passwords, and even take other peoples facebook info from the air. Somebody, please, hook me up! THankS!
congratulations on your root, u can download the following app:
Ad Away - too avoid ads in the apps
Root Explorer - To have access of root/system folders
Titanium Backup- to back up ur whole system, apps, freeze apps, uninstall apps, etc
OTA Root keeper: to keep root after OTA update
Root Toolbox Pro: this is my favorite as it has everything which a rooted phone should have
SD Maid - to keep ur sd card up to date
Screencast - to capture screen shots and video
Cache mate: to clear the cache

I have few questions, I don't know if they have been allready answered, I tried searching but with no luck....anyway:
1. Is it possible to extract installation files of app. I downloaded from Android market so I can store themn on PC,so I don't have to download them every time I hard reset my phone.
2. How to export/import Opera Mobile 10.1 bookmarks.
3. Is it possible to disable option in home screen "tap and hold" to add more widgets, because I often excedently keep messing up order of widgets in my pocket and even when I scrool with finger.
4. How to uninstall or at least delete icons in menu of preinstalled demo games and apps.

You can use Root Explorer and have your phone rooted so you can delete the apps you dont need or copy them from system to sdacard and of course their icon will disappear.
Search in forum about root and deleting apps.
Or look here... is easy to found if you look for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840356

Uhmm... They r not the same, titanium is like an app manager and root explorer is a explorer, like astro. Yes, you can uninstall with titanium but for unintalling system apps or those that come by default you may need to be root. Havent tried to do it with titanium without been root but it think that you need to have your phone rooted. Just try it if it doesnt work you will have to root to delete those apps :S
And.. Why u dont whant to root?

1st.thank you for the explanation.
2nd.i don't want to root because I don't think I would be able to install updates from sonyericsson any more and I kinda have a bad past after playing with original system files in my ex-phone :-D.
Thank you again

with rooted phone, to uninstall some DEMO SE apps. and games is it enough to go to /system/apps and delete .apk files that I don't need or is there some more files and folders that belong to those apps. I want to delete....
Yea, delete the apps from /system/app and restart your phone. After that go to Phone settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications, you will see some apps with default icons, and default names like "com.android.****" - uninstall them, and there you go. Nothing left. You can also start Titanium Backup, and clear app cache to be 100% sure that nothing is left in the memory.
The topic is that, I am not posting there becouse I dont have enough posts...

Questions
1) After rooting with this method if I do factory reset, is there any bad things about that(errors etc.)? also is factory reset a methot for unroot. or device will be rooted after reset
2) Can I use PC compainion or SEUS for new releases?
3) is there a method as simple as this root methot for unrooting
Thanks for helping the noob
1) No. No. Yes
2) Yes, but after update by SEUS/PCC you'll lost root
3) Unroot - just updating by SEUS/PCC or by flasher
Thanks a lot...
Neo has been rooted and that method works like a charm...

1 Super User (installed)

i use RootExplorer to to make some changes in file system of phone (such as change fonts, graphic, simple mods, delete unuseful files-system ringtones wallpapers etc.)
TitaniumBackup to make backup of installed soft. and after that - i delete unuseful applications (Golf, Chineese keyboard, PoboxTouch with its skins, PlayNow, WisePilot, Uefa etc.) all that can be done with Titanium.
what about app2cd - it isn't necessary program (imho) - you can move applications to cdcard in preferences.
but please remember - be sure that you make backup, before you decide to make some changes with filesystem))
in My country market is not enabled so I installed the market enabler app

Is there any way to remove Facebook from my unrooted stock HDC Flyer (Best Buy 16GB WiFI)?
It keeps asking me to agree to the licensing and no matter what I select, it comes up every couple of days.
It's dRivING me nuTZ!!!!!!!!
The only way that I know of that you can remove "bloatware" is being rooted, and using an app like Titanium Backup or using adb in Android SDK to remove it. If Uninstall is grayed out in Menu - Settings - Manage Applications area for FB, then root is required.
the only way is rooting your device and install root uninstaller on it and injoy
I have games on my S2 called Uno and N.O.V.A.. They came with the recent ICS upgrade from Bell Canada. How can I remove these programs. I have tried going in under applications and trying to remove them but I don't have the option. My only option is to clear data or move them to phone.
The only way is to root your phone then you can use a program like Titanium backup to freeze or uninstall any application.

Root your phone, then download Root Explorer or similar app from Google Play Store, and then navigate to /system/app directory, make sure your phone has read/write permissions, and delete them. If you don't want to root your phone, your stuck with them then.
Chris.
I tried your suggestion and it worked great. Thanks for the advice.
Hello. I'm not very experienced with android and recently got a new z ultra (6802). I think it came with 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 i'm not sure, but as soon as i turned it on i was notified to update to 4.4.4. All went well and one of the first apps i installed was clean master. I hadnt tried to root the phone and i was thinking about it mostly in order to get rid of some preinstalled apps, but i found out that clean master had an option to "deactivate" them so they disappeared and all was fine. The last few weeks i loaded the phone with all sorts of useless stuff i wanted to try, and today i tried rooting it using this tool and everything worked ok. Then i did a hard reset and started setting everything up again... But this time clean master, root app delete and 2 other apps of the same type wouldnt uninstall system apps (despite having root access now). Any ideas on what to do? Is it because of the root - should i try to unroot it? Where can i find these ftfs needed? I saw some in the forum but they are for 6833..

Well, clean master is one of the app I hate most. Killing app processes frequently and clearing app caches are the bad ideas for android devices because android system always try to restart apps everytime you kill. So it greatly reduces battery life. Clearing caches can make apps to start slowly.
That's not the point, right? But just a suggestion not to use task killers and cache cleaner if you have enough RAM and storage space.
Ok now for your problem not uninstalling system apps,
-Install ES File Explorer
-Tap the upper left of the app (three striped shape)
-Tap Tools, Tap Root Explorer (not on the button "On") giving/allowing/authorize root access
-Now Tap Mount R/W and choose every partition as R/W then Tap OK
-Let's get back to explorer, Tap the upper left box labelled as "/" (it will redirect you to root of the Device)
-Go to "system" folder in explorer
-There are two folders in Kitkat, namely "app" and "priv-app"
You can now choose apps to be uninstalled that you couldn't uninstall inside these folders by removing any apps (and .odex files) by Long pressing on apps and choose multi apps at once.
For me, I don't delete apps that I wanted to uninstall but I cut them and create a new folder on sd card and paste them all in that new folder for later needs (you can navigate to internal or external storage from the upper right box of the Explorer, to create new folder, tap on the button with "+" sign at the bottom left corner of the app). Don't delete apps that you don't know well because doing so can prevent your device from booting up.
P.S. You can also install apps as system ones in that reverse way (copy, paste from external to system/app). Remember not to include space in the name of the app you wanted to install as system.
Remember to restart the devices after moving/deleting apps.
I think you now understand how to do. Good Luck, mate.
Thanks for taking the time to help! and es file explorer looks like a really nice app. i followed your instructions and moved some of the apk and matching odex to sd card. the problem is the apps didnt dissapear from the list and as soon as i was done play store was downloading new versions of the apps i moved... what i dont understand is why it worked in the first place when it was new! could it be the sony firmware it came with? since this failed, is there an app to freeze these things?

One thing I left to say that you must restart your device as soon as you finish moving/deleting system apps. After rebooting, the device system will delete app leftovers. It will solve your problem of not disappearing from the list.
