[Q] How can I uninstall the useless bloatware? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have already rooted my phone and honestly now have no idea how to uninstall all of the social, media, game hubs that Samsung puts on their custom. Any suggestions? Thank you

Titanium backup. Uninstall or freeze. Your choice

Yes Titanium back-up allows you to either uninstall or freeze apps (making them inactive). This will require root, however there are literally hundreds of guides online to do this.

TTBK is much more slower than System App Removers.

What they all said. Titanium Back-up

[Q] Backup

Hello!
Before I want to root or upgrade my phone, I want to know if there is any possibility so take backup of all applications installed, settings etc?
I have spent a whole day setting up the phone, and I dont want to do that again....
I miss something like acronis og norton ghost functionality.
Also, when I do a ROM upgrade, will I loose everything? applications and settings?
Get Titanium Backup from the Market. (I'd strongly recommend getting the pro version!)
You can backup all installed apps and associated data and then restore them all after a hard reset or ROM flash.
Titanium is a VERY good app that does a lot more than just backup and restore, so the small price for the pro version is definitely worth it. (I am in no way affiliated with Titanium Backup It's just proven invaluable to me on many occasions!)
I checked the titanium app and it seemed promising. But it only worked on rooted phones....
I was hoping not to root my phone, as Important afraid I will loose warranty

No root no backup .

You need root access in order to backup app data, so there's no way round it.
Ok I see. Thanx alot for the replies. I guess I just have to figure out how to root and take it from there.

Titanium freeze or uninstall?

Can we now successfully uninstall apps instead of just freezing them?
Anyone? Can I uninstall or is freezing the only method?

You can delete. Just be careful when doing so

I would recommend a full nandroid backup before deleting stuff, just in case.then a full titanium backup, in case you mess up with one app. Then start uninstalling. there are lists of what is safe to remove. Or you can freeze, then if everything is ok after a day or two of use, uninstall the app.

Exactly! I did this the first time with RCMix3D's Runny to get rid of social media & other cruft. Now it's a lean, mean Sense machine.

if i freeze an app is that the same as deleting?? of coarse i know if u delete you get the extra space..but other than that is there a real difference?
Freezing stops it from running, it's like uninstalling without losing the files. One you confirm the file isn't necessary for anything you use, then you can uninstall.

Titanium Backup freezes my whole system?

Hello guys,maybe it's sound incredibly (because I know that many people love this app) but I tried to install this app too, and then freeze problem started...First, I frozen Google Play Store services, because it was useless to me.When I frozen it on Titanium Backup, I just opened "Ceal master" app, and accidentally chosen "update this app" or something like that, my whole system just frozen when it's opened that Google Play store (which I was frozen on Titanium Backup) So I just had to take out a battery and take it in again to make my Samsung work again (Because there was absolutely no reaction before, even I couldn't restart it by my own holding power key) After that, my Samsung device started working normally again.
And one more example, that I was frozen Dropbox services on Titanium,then I wanted to sync my some photos with Dropbox, and my whole system frozen again and I had to take out battery and to take in again, to make my system to work normally.
So, finally I deleted that f****ng Titanium Backup app and tried to install "DisableServices" and this app doesn't cause any freeze problems for me.
So,what do you think, it is possible that Titanium Backup can cause freeze problem for a whole system?
And what about your experiences with Titanium Backup app?
Sounds like a severe case of "stupid owner"syndrome to me
If you freeze a system app, and the system needs the app it can cause the phone to freeze.
I don't want to offend you but are you sure you should be rooted after that?

Got to agree with the 2 above. Don't freeze what you don't understand

Thanks,I've learned many things with android but Titanium backup was just not for me,because probably I didn't know how to use it correctly.:cyclops:
There is a possibility that you have a mixed odex/deodexed system.. This can cause titanium backup to freeze the phone up.

why would you freeze Dropbox if you want to use it?

Have been using TiB for 2 years now and never had a problem because of frozen apps. But you have to know which app to freeze. Freezing is just like uninstalling so be careful with system apps. Normally rather than freeze, I just uninstall apps and restore from backup with data if required. But you can freeze apps like Maps, may be useful for that.

It also helps if You have multiple launchers, You could freeze the launchers which You don't use, Which will lead to a better battery life and user experience
Always making a backup before doing anything helps a lot .. You'll need it trust me ^_^
Good luck

[Q] Rooted device, still can't delete AT&T apps.

I rooted my device using the framaroot method, and I still can't delete the at&t apps that came preinstalled. Not sure what to do next. Any advice?
Yes.
Install Titanium Backup. There is a free version. Then find the apps you want to remove, and use the Freeze feature in TiBu first for a while to make sure that there are no dependencies. It functions just like deleting the app, but you can unfreeze it if there are problems. You can also delete apps with TiBu.
Also use this to back up your applications. To make it easier, buy the full version from the developer, which has batch back up and other features. It's a pain to try to back up apps one at a time.
Of course Yes. Titanium is the best app for backup, restore, delete app
