After rooting i used root explorer to remove some "clutter" apps but i can find where i can remove these items? Any one know where i checked system/app but they are not there? Also is dell sync required?
Thanks
i just checked mine and the apps are there. i use titanium backup to uninstall what i don't need.
What are they titled? And they are under system/app ? Also cant you only delete with titanium pro? not the free which i have tried and there doesnt seem to be that option?
hmm never mind i see them now, under the backup tab if i click i can delete What about dell sync is that required?
From the 2.2.2 stock rom I was able to remove oovoo and anything labled Roxio/Nero without any issue. I left the Stage software installed.
I remove sync and welcome every time i setup and for the first time just froze stage

What do you mean "froze" stage? Anything else that can deleted that extra crap is cool so if you have removed stuff and nothing critical happened let me know ppl.
I use titanium backup to remove apps. You can also freeze apps so they don't run but are still on the phone

Try installing Titanium Backup and use that to remove the apps. There's also an option to freeze the app, which allows you to monitor if there are any adverse impacts.

hello, i've tryed every way i could find to remove moxier quadrapop and other apps from my rooted x10i but it always says faild and i cant remove them. also can i remove them from titanium backup and how?
thank you.
Well open titanium.. if it says its rooted and everything just continue to middle tab n just uninstall whatever u want although pre-notice, there are some sly apps in there that are connected elsewhere such as mediascape, timescape, etc.. so be careful about them. read up on them before even thinking about removing them! just use search.
It will tell you if it needs busybox to check root status. allow it to download n stuff n shouldnt be long before you find out.
Titanium allows you to backup apps n certain data files so you can most likely restore them if things mess up along the way. P-s, it can't backup the stock apps tho so don't try that one. to uninstall just click on any app n hit uninstall.. simple really!
If you have the full version then id suggest using the freeze option instead of uninstalling (within the same option dialog) this is bit like uninstalling but without actually getting rid of things. useful for stock apps. if you freeze something n somehow your phone starts to crash more often then you can defrost without a prob.
Wow.. wrote soo much lol just mentioned things of top of my head! hope it helps!!

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.
Ok not sure the best way to explain this but here goes
I installed the Sky+ app on my wildfire when i first got the phone. Using App monster i made a back up of the app into an APK and copied the APK to my pc for safe keeping. I tried several custom roms but i have gone back to wild puzzle.
installed Sky+ again on my phone, but this time i did it through a file manager using the apk file and the app works fine.
Now when i go into the market,it doesn't recognize that Sky+ is already installed. it says i can install Sky+.
I have tried titanium backup, but it sent my phone into a boot loop, so i'm going to read up on that a bit more before i mess around with that app again lol
Can anyone help or suggest something please. this happens with all the apps i have installed from APKs
Thanks for reading (and sorry its long)

You probably won't be able to restore market links. I have no idea why titanium backup led you to a bootloop, it's one of the most brilliant pieces of software I've ever used. Try it again. It can restore market links.
yeh i can see it being one of the best apps out there, i just need to do some more reading (im still fairly new to all this)
Hello
I was wondering if anyone could help me. Im using awd lancher and installed an antteck app manager and froze a moto app by mistake, the phone got in to a force close loop which even a restart couldnt fix. I managed to uninstall the app by grabbing time between the forced closes.
Now it says " this is not a motoblur device" when I try to use the moto default home launcher.
I have reinstalled the antteck app which shows no frozen apps.
Would a reset to factory work? My concern is if there is no ADW launcher and motoblur is still not working my phone will not work.

Thanks for any help

Which app? The one you froze?

No, a factory reset just wipes the data partition.
A possible solution
If you know how to use ADB, and know where to acquire the ADW.Launcher APK, then you could do this:
NOTE: You may need root to do this. I have no idea, actually.
Copy ADW.Launcher to your ADB folder and rename it to launcher.apk to make things easier later.
Open Command Prompt, and CD to your ADB folder.
Type "adb remount" to mount /system as writeable.
Type "adb push launcher.apk /system/app.
You could possibly get away with pushing it to /data/app, but I've never tried pushing to /data before.
The app I uninstalled was the antteck app manager used to freeze the app.
I cant remember exactly which app I froze. It was one from a list of apps safe to freeze I found on the XDA forum, it wasnt safe. It may well have been the moto home launcher as I was trying to free up ram for the webtop.
I get the problem when I use home switcher to try to launch the original home rather than ADW
I no longer see the moto home launcher in the app list on the app manager.
I could try flashing with the sbf, but being a noob im not ready to do that unless all else fails.
Any help gratefully received

I just renamed blurhome.apk_fro to blurhome.apk in the system/app folder using root explorer and all has been fixed. It would seem that although I reinstalled the antteck app manager it doesn't search for previous frozen items. It also didn't show up in titanium backup either that can be used to freeze apps, not a criticism just an observation.
Thanks for all the help

Glad you learnt something new. =D
And you should find the "safe" list you referred to and tell them its actually NOT safe.
Ill look for the list later...although it might have been a of stupidity and not on the list at all, I tend to do these things late at night
