Did you delete apps from system/app or moved to /data/app and then uninstalled it?
The correct way to remove default apps is to move then from system/app to data/app, reboot and the uninstall it opening settings/manage applications.
If you just deleted apps from system, its better to repair your phone with SEUS and remove stock apps with correct way. Believe me, I removed apps before without uninstalling then and system was sucking my battery very fast. Just make a repair, uninstalled things correctly and now my phone is so much better.
Wat is the need of removing the app make backup of that and replace wid the android default calendar...

Yes i think i have deleted directly from System/app :-(
but i think there is a way to install it with ADB no?
maybe i can put original SE calendar and remove again the correct way?
I didn't try it, but I think u can...

Did the "rm /system/app/Candendar.apk" and wondered why it didn't work.
The system keeps some files in memory and they survive the "rm" command. Fixed this by doing;
1. Setting> Applications > Manage Applications and removing all calendar named apps, (there were about 4 still including com.sonyericsson.calandar!)
2. Restart phone.
3. Copy standard Calendar and CalandarProvider across (I used scp and dropbear, you could do the same with adb or rootexplorer) Files are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9434204&postcount=2
4. Restart phone. (I didn't need to run the "install" command, files were "chmod 644" already)
Now have the standard calendar rather than the SE calendar!
Solved ! thanks

I want to uninstall some stock apps that I got with latest Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM. How to determine which apps I shouldn't uninstall? For example, can i uninstall Facebook apps, Gmail app, news & weather app...
you will only be able to remove system apps if you are rooted.
If you are rooted and S-ON you can do it via recovery and adb, make sure you mount the system folder.
If your running a winblows PC then find android commander use it instead of adb, makes accessing the android phone so much better.
You can delete most of the stuff in the /system/app folder, depends on what you want to keep, I suggest you copy the files from the phone to local PC harddrive before you delete in case you need them back. Just make sure not to delete those file that look like system apps eg rosie.apk settings.apk etc....
If you are S-OFF then you can do it right from the phone
If you don't know what root, S-ON or S-OFF is then maybe not a good idea to play with the system stuff untill you learn all that there is to learn on the subject....
Folks,
So I rooted by new Razr and decided to clean up the bloatware, but instead of smart way of just freezing the app I used uninstall in Titanium Backup. Among the apps that I removed were Yahoo Mail Authenticator 2.3.5 and Yahoo Contacts 2.3.5. That, judging by posts I've found, caused my contacts to become inaccessible, with FC message for Contacts Storage (com.motorola.contacts).
Can somebody with a brand new (rooted) Verizon phone share the list of contents of their /system/app directory with file sizes and dates? I want to compare what you have with what I have now. BTW, I got my list of files by installing SSHDroid, logging into it with ssh doing ls -l.
Thanks!
I did the same thing, did you get any resolution to this? I was able to download the files I think I needed and installed root explorer to paste them into the system\apps folder. I can find the files in there but my contacts shortcuts widget still force closes. I would really appreciate any help I can get here!
You have to make sure that the permissions on copied files are 644 (rw-r--r--) and the owner/group is root.
That worked! Man you really saved my night!!!
I've done all of that and contacts still fc. any ideas?
When all else fails, this will fix issues:

HI, and first of all, wanna give a head's up and mention that I'm relatively new to the Droid world...
I have installed MiniCM7Pro over a stock kernel, but my question is, how can I remove the DSP Manager that comes along the rom?
Btw, how can we replace, for instance, the contacts app with GO Contacts?
Thanks in advance!
You can remove dps with titanium backup,search for it on market its a free apk, and I think you can replace the contact apk without problems
Well, Titanium didn't uninstalled DSP Manager, thru that force uninstall option... so, still listening to more ideas...

hit thanks to the op and devs if it helped you
Thats strange cause everytime I update my minicm rom I delete dsp with tb. You can other way, with root explorer apk, go to system/app & just delete dsp, then reboot your phone and voila
Use Link2SD
Link2SD is an app with the basic purpose of moving apps from phone memory to an ext partition on SD card. But apart from that, the app can also manage applications, like uninstalling and freezing them.
I use Link2SD only to uninstall or freeze system apps. Its the free, clean and quick way of doing it...

dsp manager can be uninstalled with root explorer. Search in system/app for the app, and in data/data for the data folder corresponding to it (I don't remember it's name, but is like com-dspmanager-something ) and delete both files, then reboot.
About go contacts, phone.apk can be uninstalled in the same way, but is under your own risk. Anyways, keep a backup of your files
works perfectly with root explorer thanks!
For some strange reason, Root Explorer didnt work for me. I had to use Terminal Emulator
(Pre-installed or from the Play Store)
Code:
su (ENTER)
mount -o remount rw /system (ENTER)
rm system/app/DSPManager.apk (ENTER)
That method worked fine for me...
But sometimes, a simple reboot and then using root explorer also worked

If you have FCs on your phone, try to wipe cache (and Dalvik cache) in recovery mode first.
To install apps, you do not need to copy the files into special folders.
Just click the apk file and select install.
The app will install from apk file automatically, if there is no "old" version installed and all required things (access, other apps, phone model, etc.) are available.
If you are not sure about installed apps, just check in settings menu: Settings > Applications.
Or use an app like Titanium Backup to manage your apps (+ app data).
oh please, im not a noob, i know how to install apks, i need to pre include them in my rom,
certain apks, for example "ChatOn", when i install it normaly it will work with no problem,
but when i put it in system/app it will force close when i first start the phone
the same goes with data/app
Hi,
I'd like to know how to safely delete system or ROM pre-installed applications that don't offer an "Uninstall" option. I am rooted and running 5.0.2 on a Nexus 6. I know I could do this with Titanium or other similar apps but my point is to not install a specific app just for deleting apps if I can find the correct path/file from Root Explorer and remove it myself.
Thanks

from my experience the best that you can do is to use root explorer and goto system/app or system/priv-app and delete folder-app you do not need, then goto data/dalvik-cache, search for apk name and delete also program *.dex, so this is a clean method, make a reboot for clearing apk data !
It's safer to rename the app instead of deleting it... "freezing" apps often just add ".fro" to the app's name (whatever.apk.fro, for example) to keep it from appearing in your app launcher or loading. If anything goes wrong because of the "missing" app, you can easily restore it.
