[Q] Universal androot - Soft root - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry, and I hope this was not answered before and I have missed it.
First when you use "Universal androot" does it lose data? from the phone or sd card? meaning do I have to reinstall all my apps/email accounts etc...
Second can you "soft root" for a one time to uninstall apps that were pre installed on the phone.... (amazone mp3, teeter, facebook etc...)

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?

.... I forgot about "Thank you" button to thank you :-D
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.

Remove Facebook from STOCK unrooted Flyer

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

[Q] how to remove certain programs

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.

I tried your suggestion and it worked great. Thanks for the advice.

Apps keep re-installing

Hi all,
I have rooted my XS and installed Titanium Back-up and uninstalled all the bloatware etc.
However, whenever I restart my phone these all appear again and I go through it all and uninstall them all again.
I never had this problem on my X10 and was wondering if anyone had any answers for me at all?
(Sorry if this has been asked before, I did search and found no answers on here)
what kind of bloatware did you uninstall?

Hi,
Wisepilot, Track ID, Evernote, Moxia, Astro, Play Store and most of the O2-UK bloatware they install for me plus a few others
Titanium backup seems to uninstall them and they disappear but if I let my battery empty and turn it back on after recharging they all appear again?
It's no real biggie as I can just uninstall them again but it is bloody annoying!
Running .50 (Seems Russian?)
Bootloader Unlock :No.
Rooted using flashtool

If your device has root access, you can remove King root with other applications or from the King root settings. Uninstall the application with link2sd. If you can not delete the application, you will have to install the stock rom.

Thanks , but after three dots -> i have option to uninstall OR convert to user app.
Under both i get the same error:
"Link2SD could not obtain root access.
Maybe as i formatted my phone, i am no longer rooted and hence the error.
Also, i tried disabling Kingroot from phones builtin "Applications manager" and yes it seems disappeared from my App list on phone, Is it safe to say its no longer working on my phone even in background ?

The application that you deactivated will not run again, but if it really was malware, it probably installed other malware applications. I recommend you to do a complete analysis with several antivirus programs starting with Dr. Web.
