I really like the stock task manager. I'm currently running gingerblur.
Use root explorer to navigate to system/app and rename it from 'performancemanager.apk.bak' to 'performancemanager.apk'. Or if it shows up frozen in titanium backup you could try unfreezing it.

ok.. im all done rooting.. got lagfix.. and tried rom manager and there wasnt an option for the fascinate.. so i guess ill wait on that.. any recommendations on what else to do.. i want to get rid of all the bloatware.. but im not sure how..
Use root explorer (download from market), and rename the bloatware packages you want to get rid of to .apk.old.
An example, rename /system/app/Blockbuster_Stub_v0_2_build_12-unsigned-signed.apk to Blockbuster_Stub_v0_2_build_12-unsigned-signed.apk.old
This will remove the Blockbuster application from your list of installed programs.

Whenever I start titanium backup, my thunderbolt freezes. I have wiped several times all with the same result. Also I have the paid versions of these apps so I would like to use those instead. I have also tried to use the bamf toolkit to remove titanium backup and that cause the phone to freeze add well.

Going into settings > applications > manage apps, does it freeze if you try to remove it that way?
There is not an option to uninstall. The button is grayed out. I think it is installed as a system application. Since I can't post in the das bamf thread, I have to post here hoping that there is a flash I can do or some other app on the market place that can uninstall system apps.

anyone have any thoughts on this? i'm still trying to update the free version of titanium backup with the premium version. in bamf1.63
You can delete the .apk for each file located in /system/app using root explorer or a file manager with root permissions. Since these were installed as system apps, they can't be uninstalled from the regular settings>manage apps menu, but you can delete with Root explorer.
I have deleted kernel manager this way - my pro key with titanium works with the system version, so I haven't deleted that.

Did you delete or move the apk? Reason I ask is that I moved it to my SD card (in case it caused issues) and realized that I wasn't hitting R/W in the upper corner, so it wasn't actually removing it, just copying the file in read-only mode.

You are a genius. I was in read only mode and the app I am using never warned me. I am using super manager. You have to set root permissions in the apps configuration.

OK... So I was able to remove titanium backup.
Now, I have the same problem with it from the market. Seems like a bamf issue and not an app issue.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Noobish concern, really. And I couldn't make heads or tails from similarly-named threads.
So what I did is I copied some system apps to a folder on my sd. Thereafter I deleted both apk and odex files from the system/app folder hoping that copying them back will be just as easy.
Earlier today I tried copying the MoviePlayer apk and odex back. While it did copy, no amount of rebooting or cache clearing made it return to my apps list. I tried installing it by just running the apk from the sd but it had a permission issue.
Help on this? I might have other system apps to restore later like the music and messaging apps.
Next time you back up an app, use titanium backup. As for restoring it, you may have to download root explorer. Launch it then navigate to /system/app/ then click mount as r/w then paste the .apk & .odex files.

Titanium may back up a system app, but when you remove it, you can't restore it. God knows, I tried. Instead of the smiley it's just a check and there's no option to restore. Unless I'm doing something wrong here.
I already tried copying the. apk/.odex back in r/w mode using root explorer. That's the first thing I did.
Luckily I did the same thing like you before. You may have to download and flash (SAPPS.zip) or (Custom ROM)- this one I did.

Also, forget stock movie & music player, just use Doubletwist. It's a music and video player with an awesome UI.

I'll try SAPPS. Actually, maybe it's time for me to try a custom rom. de/void has been catching my attention recently.
The only reason why I started with the stock movie player is because I know that's expendable... just wanted to know how hard/easy it would be to put stock apps back.
And yes, I'll give doubletwist a try. Thanks!

hello..
CAN ANYONE TELL ME THAT HOW TO MAKE AN DOWNLOADED APP PERMANENT.. LIKE PRE-INSTALLED APP ON PHONE??
Open Titanium Backup. Tap and hold on the app and select 'Convert to system app'.
With a root explorer you can also move the app to /system/app and put the correct permissions.

Recently rooted s4. I tried using Rom Toolbox to uninstall some of the factory bloatware and it doesn't work. It goes through the motions as if it's uninstalling it, a popup with a percentage comes up, finishes and closes but the apps are still there. How exactly do I go about removing some of this awful bloatware?
I prefer to use tibu backup or root explorer. Most file browsers you have to grant read write privileges or it wont work.

Use link2sd for removing system apps

Must be rooted, TiBU and or Root Explorer...TiBu is the safest, and you may want to freeze them first to see if you have issues, then if you don't, delete them.
Good luck...
Thanks
