With Thanks

Do you want your device to crash? Advice: leave them (the ones you listed). You should never uninstall a critical system app (unless you're experienced and know exactly what you are doing). This app could help you - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.danesh.system.app.remover&feature=search_result. It can advise you which app is not so critical to the system and probably fine for removal.

first of all if u wanna remove system apps you gotta root your phone.Download titanium backup and backup the app that you wanna remove.

[Q] Having problem with making system apps user apps

Hey guys, (yes my device is rooted)
I downloaded greneenify app and I wanted to hybernate apps such facebook, maps etc. just any system app I want to. But you can't do that when these apps are system apps which they are. So I wanted to put them as user apps but I don't know how to do so. I'm using titanium backup and there's only an option to make an app system app not the other way around. I was searching for some apps I could use for my purpose and I've found one but I need busybox to make it work and I'm having issue with installing it. Everytime I try to install busybox it ends up with restarting my cellphone and that's all. I've tried out two different busybox apps but none of them really worked. My majer problem and goal is to make those apps as user apps and not busybox, but if that means I do need busybox for making so, any advice is appericated, thank you.

[Q] removing bloat from bluestacks question

I tried to search for info but only come up with the tool on here that is depreciated. I have bluestacks 9.27.5408 rooted and titanium backup root. But some of the apps seen in the trebuchet all apps list aren't shown in titanium backup. Or if they are they aren't recognizable as them. These are the following: app sync, bluestacks charts, and gamepop-home. As far as I know I don't need these. Also I don't know if there is anything else I should remove that is not seen in the all apps but is installed. Thank you for any help and advice.
Same question. Exact same symptoms.
Titanium doesn't find the garbage apps
Folders on the root of Data, like app, private, app-asec, etc, are empty in regard of these bloatwares
Anyone ?

Is necessary ROOT? Yes and no. For many operation is ROOT necessary, but when you need only uninstall specific application you can use for this operation app called "Debloater by Gatesjunior" (can be found here). If you have ROOT, u can use Titanium Backup, System app remover or one of the many other apps on Google Play. If you have experience with root folder, so can delete APK files from folders above.

You can try the debloat script available here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/script-stock-rom-debloat-kiw-l24-usa-t3307924
Try rebuilding it for your phone ..
@ gopinaidu77
This looks good Thx
Maybe i can try make the script for better experience
The Huawei apps should probably be freezed instead of uninstalled stuff can stop working or you may need it in the future
I know it But many apps not necessary, so can be uninstalled without any problems (Notepad, Swype keyboard, file manager and many others). If I find some trouble after uninstall apk, recover this file and use freeze. List above i have tested, so is safe.
And every user can use own method for cleaning the phone. For all test is better make nand backup or backup APK files

No , there were certain apps which you never use , or use once or twice in the whole month.
U can uninstall them . But there is a need of basic apps as said earlier . the main cause of root requirement is To remove bloatware . every Android owner roots to just remove bloat and later thinks about costumisation

Remove GApps completly (for rooted phones)
I am attaching 2 scripts for Marshmallow and Nougat.
Flash using TWRP recovery. This will remove the pre-installed google apps completly.
Flash this before updating the apps from Play Store.
If you have already updated the apps, after flashing the script, you can still manually uninstall the updates.
You can then flash OpenGapps or MicroG
This is just gapps, right? Great for when I eventually root my Honor 8.
Any solution for Huawei apps other than doing it manually?

Hey,
I flashed the script to remove the pre-installed GApps through TWRP on my Honor 8 (US version) but it doesn't look like it worked. All the apps still show up as they were during the initial setup of the phone.
I ran the script right after I rooted and installed TWRP and Xposed, so I didn't setup/use the Play Store or download any updates.
Any ideas on what the issue might be?
