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

Isn't titanium the same as root explorer?
Because I don't want to root my phone.
And thank you (who asked and who answered)

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.

The SAFEST way to uninstall system apps is like this:
1. install root explorer
2. use it to go to /system/app
3. click on the mount RW button at the top
4. use multiselect to select all the crap you don't want
5. tap on "move" and go to /data/app
6. mount rw here too
7. paste. with passion.
8. reboot your phone
9. you'll see all those apps are now uninstallable through the application manager . use mini uninstaller though, it is much faster and nicer.^^
If you are a lazy bug, use titanium backup, but i warn you, this thing doesn't uninstall like it should be done, so remnants will remain for sure. most of the time it doesn't matter, but sometimes it can **** up your phone and display stupid force close errors. good day, sir.

What about free software?
Em... you don't seem to understand.. okay, there are two types of apps: system apps and user apps. the only difference is that system apps cannot be uninstalled. so, stock crapware,like trials and things SE doesn't want you to uninstall are marked as system apps. even if they are freeware. mini uninstaller displays all uninstallable apps, so if they appear there, they can be uninstalled. you can download it from the market.

That was the question. Root explorer is not free.
I have just tried to use "super manager", free in market, but with no succes.
If anyone can help me to use this program?. Thanks.
If only is the big question here ,maybe someday i'll invent an app that will uninstall without having to root the phone

I unistalled some apps with TB Pro, but noticed that Assassin Creed dwmoe still was there so I came here searching just to find out that TB it's not all that I think it was... :-$
But ok, at least I now know of this "mini uninstaller" and ran to the market, just to find out that was removed. :-\ :'(
Already googled but can't find it, if someone still have could please upload it here?
Try also absolute system tools not sure it it works without root but it might and have you tried searching the 4 shared site for mini uninstaller?

In any case you need a rooted phone.
The market has some free system app uninstallers you can try.
I dont remember which one I used since I uninstalled it when I finished getting rid of the system apps.
The X10 mini wiki contains instructions.
i use systemapp remover from market, works fine.

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...
now I need some aditional info.. as I searched I need some apps after rooting to make sense of root
1 Super User (installed)
2 AddFree (installed)
3 Root explorer
4 Titanium Backup
Now I need to find
5 an uninstaller for restricted apps like lets golf!
6 an app2sd software can move restricted apps ...
any advicesfor 5-6 and if there is another usefull apps ?
thanks again
Root explorer and go to system app folder , U must switch to mount r/o with right corner

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
but after necessarry settings(tried US Tmobile) I can see payable content but when I try to buy there is an error like that
" the item was not found which you are trying to buy"
What can I do to solve?
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.
Is there a list of apps that can be disabled for this phone?
Don't we need root?
Not an iPhone.....
Just go through the list, its lets you do quite a few of them in app management

Can someone give me a list of what they froze, I think I got most of them but stuff like Music Hub, Music Player, Viewdini, VPN Client, Zappos I have no idea about
I have only removed the bloatware from one other phone (HTC incredible) and the process went like this:
1. Open root explore and go to system/app
2. Change from read/only to read/write
3. Select the apps from the system/app that I want to remove
4. Move those apps to a new folder that I named app.disabled in the system file.
Does this same process work the the Note 2?
Wyatt W.
Edit: nevermind, just used TB to freeze apps
Works well, especially as it requires only root and a good file manager [e.g. ES].. I had been dependent on tools like TB before your post. Thanks for the lesson.

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.
