How to remove the samsung's app, except from Kies air?
Use Titanium Backup to either freeze the app you want or unistall it
First yu'll have to root your device. Then you can either flash a custom ROM that has uninstalled samsung bloatware or purchase titanium backup pro from the market, you'll be able to freeze or uninstall any app you want. You just have to be careful with deleting system apps since they can be important for your phone to work properly.

I would suggest you just freeze the app instead of uninstalling it. You will never know when you might need it one day!

I wanted to know if there was a way to remove apps such as MobiTv and other apps that came with the phone. Some are really pointless and just take up space. My device isnt rooted.
Yep you have to root it first then you can start removing apps.
I rooted mine using the instructions in the Developement area.
Used Root Explorer to creat a folder in your sdcard. Of course any app can do that.
I then used Titanium Backup and made a backup of everything.

after having root where are them stock apps located.. i cant find them in linda file manager..or the application list?
Removing apps
Use titanium backup to uninstall the apps you don't want after you back them up.
if you select an app that you don't like in the list it will come up with a host of options, one will say un-install. this should remove it from the device.
and if you backed it up ahead of time, you can usually reinstall without an issue.
just don't remove twlauncher..
My phone isnt rooted tho...
root it!!!!!!!!

your phone is REQUIRED TO BE ROOTED to uninstall stock applications. It is not a choice, you have to do it if you want to remove them. It's a really simple process and takes less than 2 minutes to do. It's really hard to brick your device by rooting, its just too simple.
When you're rooted you can many options to do what you want to do:
- Root Explorer (Paid App)
- ADB (takes a while to setup the environment if you don't have it already set up)
... and the other methods that i didn't list.
is it safe to uninstall titanium backup from my phone? i already can backup my phone through backup when i boot into recovery. is it necessary therefore to have?
It is useful to have when switching from ROM to ROM to backup your apps. Lets say you switch ROMs...you use the new ROM for 2 weeks and you decide you don't like it. During that 2 weeks you added 10 new apps. When you revert to your nandroid backup, you will not have those apps. Also, some apps dont install automatically when switching ROMs. So it is a pretty necessary app...
It is quite convenient to have but yes, it is safe to remove it.
But what happens with the system apps that I have frozen with TB ? Will they get defrosted?
hello guys,
i flashed my i9100 to ICS 4.0.4 UK then rooted it, i disabled some system apps thru system apps remover.
now when i try to re enable them in the default way (settings>applications>all) they are not even listed, and if i used the system app remover to re enable them again, once i exit from it automatically they disabled again.(system app remover is granted as superuser also busybox is on).
looking for help guys.
Did you uninstalled or disabled them? If disabled, I believe it's just like in Titanium Back Up. Install Titanium Back Up and see if the disabled system apps appear "frozen" if they do, click the defrost button! I just tried it and this works
When you are rooted and get to a situation where you are happy with your setup-make a nand backup.
Then use titanium and backup apps then uninstall the ones you dont like or need(being careful obviously).

i installed it and defrost them but still frosted, something wrong with ics 4.0,4 or the root i did!!!!
I am using Ultimate backup I like the interface much better then titanium backup.
Anyways I freezed some apps to test then I unfreeze, I mean it says that its worked It definatley does freeze them thats forsure. But the problem is when i go to unfreeze them it says its unfrozen but the app does not appear in the app drawer again and when I go to ultimate backup and try launch from there it says it cannot be launched so then I restart my phone and i go back into ultimate launcher and it shows the apps as being frozen again what the hell!!
can I get some help here please
Never used that never seen any users reporting it on XDA .
Suggest contact the developer .

When I installed (Root uninstaler) I had the same problem when freezing and unfreezing, They are all the same concept as titanium backup.
something has to be wrong with my phone setup
the frozen apps are the same format as all the other backup apps. Titanium, root uninstaller, ultimate backup.
I have just installed Titanium and it picks up the apps as being frozen and gives me the option to defrost and when I click it , it says its been defrosted ad is ready to use. But then I go to view it again and it still shows as frozen arghhH!!!
ok so i found a fix apparently there is something coded into the firmware that doesnt allow unfreezing but an app called app quarantine patches something and then asks to reboot , after reboot your apps are restored.
run the app and all frozen apps appear in quarantine list you can unfreeze them there then reboot
is there a permanent fix so that u dont need app quarantine because this process has to be repeated each time you try to unfreeze
I haven't been able to defrost with Titanium or Root Installer on the S3 at all, no idea why, I'm afraid. As far as I know the only way to restore is a wipe.
read my last post fully, you will see the fix
Good find, thanks!
Hello there,
I know one can use apps like Migrate or like Titanium backup to do this, but the restriction is that the phone needs to be rooted.
As I use my phone as my daily driver including several banking apps, I do not want to root it.
Any idea of any backup apps that work as good in a non-rooted phone?
Thanks

Super backup but i think it only backups apks but not game data. You can also check helium backup.
