use titanium backup, remember to back up before uninstalling.
there are other apps that remove system apps too, but titanium is the most widely used.

Thanks for the reply.
Titanium warned me that it will tweak recovery and remove it. Is there any precaution require..just asking because I m new to modify rooted roms!!

You just need to make sure that the bloatware you're removing is not needed by the phone.
Freezing the wrong thing with Titanium could cause your phone's other functions to stop working.
Just go one by and one and see if it affects anything.
If it doesn't than you're safe. Move on to the next one.

Download an app in the market called Titanium Backup....there is a PRO version which is the best..but the free one will do for now..you can use that to uninstall/delete certain apps that you dont want (ie bloat)....

Flashing X10a

I downloaded the flashtool and the folder for 2.1,which is on my pc desktop. How do I combine the two folders? Haven't extracted flashtool yet.
And how do I keep all the apps I have,even the pre- installed apps,then go back and delete the ones I don't want?
Have Titanium backup download in the mobile. Also purchased SD micro sd 8GB card. Can I back apps onto sd card?
All help and advice is appreciated,I am a novice at this,so I DO NOT want to brick my mobile, paid too much for it! !
Thank-you.

Although you want to keep your preinstalled apps, if you flash to the generic 2.1 you are basically debranding your phone and all the preinstalled apps will be removed. You could try "my backup root" but im not too sure if it will work. Plus it's nearly impossible to brick your phone..just make sure you follow the guide.

Wow;
This is so cool!! Thank you ever so much for the link and the advice. Another question;do you think I can redownload some of the at&t apps?
There's only a select few you can probably get back from the market for free. But most of the AT&Ts apps can easily be replaceable with other free and probably better apps from the market.

Now,I gave a trial run,And think the flash MIGHT be successful. Now,I have Titanium,will this backup my current apps,or do I have to re-download them? And what about my browser bookmarks? Am I able to keep the oned I have now? Oh And I have a brand-new SanDisk 8GB micro sd card, should I put that into the mobile?
Any and all suggestions are helpful, and thank-you once again for the advice and help!!

Did all the downloads,are followed the instructions to the tee about combining the generic firmware into the firmware file,or something of that nature. A little nervous about flashing,but I'm going to do it. After flashing,should I use SEPC Companion to update OS to update OS?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
If i understand u, if u flash with flashtool, u want to flash over with pc comanion? If thats the case, u dont need to because u already picked the firmware with the baseband u wanted. So once u used flashtool u r done.
I saw u got titanium backup. U know your phone must be rooted right to use it? U can use flashtool to root too after u flashed the 2.1 update

You can't use Titanium Backup until after you have rooted. Instead use Mybackup, free in the Market.
Yes,I believe so. And yes,I know I can root AND have SUPERONECLICK up and running. Boy,I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS!! Guess I am becoming tech savvy after all.
If you can,give me reasons WHY I should root. Once you reply,will give it a go.
And really, thank-you so much for your help and guidance, couldn't have done it without it

Wow!! Goosebumps!! Thanks for the link,a fantastic thread. Will take both of your advice:download mybackup,put it fresh,brand-new 8GB micro sd,and backup apps. If you think it is also advisable to root,will do that also. For the ROM,what do YOU advise? That is what you change when rooting,correct?
Your info has been DO VERY VALUABLE, THANK-YOU EVER SO MUCH!!

Rooting allows you to remove preinstalled SE system apps that you don't use, like Timescape and Face Recognition, which will greatly increase performance. It also allows you to enable JIT (optimize), and install xRecovery. See the guide I linked above for safe system apps to remove.
I cannot believe it!! I did the root,when I sort of whacked my phone up,SE PC Companion came to the rescue.
It is like having a new mobile!! The changes are major,same withthe apps,but I certainly live with the changed.
Now,how do I get rid of Mocked,by rooting? I don't need it,so I wouldlike to delete it.
Thank you for your guidance,advice and help. Wouldn't have done it without it!!

[Q] advice please - root / rom

Hi all,
I have a stock S2, detailed as below. I've been reading over these forums for a day or two, but tbh it's approaching information overload time. I'd like to root my S2, and load a lightweight rom to get some decent battery time by cleaning off all the unwanted apps that are preloaded.
Please advise what firmware / rom I should use?
Never rooted a phone b4, so any advice is welcome
Model: GT-I9100
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband Version: I9100XXLQ6
Kernel Version: 3.0.15-I9100XWLPT-CL941023
Build number:: IMM76D.XWLPT
Hope all the above helps
Ta
Okay, in those 2 days you read this? You are...on 4.0.4
So now we gotta find the best way to get you rooted.
You wanna flash a kernel? root thru recovery with a zip? wanna try exynos abuse?
Take your pick.
What i'm trying to say is that you need a little bit more of the reading thing. Go on you tube, read some posts, you get the idea.
Now, on the ROM subject, you want either a custom rom or an unbranded stock rom.
Which one?
Well...that is up to you.
The one hes got is unbranded.He just needs root to remove all the crap.
or titanium buck up to freeze it all up.

Please advise how I can go about doing this?
Would a custom rom offer me improvements on battery life, or would this be all i need?

When you know as much as you do now, it's most unwise to root your phone and touch anything of the software.
First read and learn a whole lot more about the whole rooting-and-stuff process, but please start with the forum rules. So, search before asking, and don't ask subjective questions.

hi there,
all of us have been newbies at this at a time.
My suggestion:
Get clear about what you want.
A different interface?
Longer Battery life?
Just removing crapware?
- If you want another interface, check out various launchers from the market first. No real need to flash at this point.
- Battery life is a problem on the SII, I've got a 3500 mAh one (from ebay), which will last a day of playing and surfing. The stock battery is only 2000 mAh.
- to remove bloatware, just root the phone, use titanium backup to freeze an application you don't want anymore. (Make sure to use the Preferences in TB to set a backup path on your external_sd. Using the internal SD isn't so useful. In 'Freezer settings' you may want to remove market entry, so IF you flash a new rom, at least the old bloatware will not be downloaded automatically).
Hope this helps.
Yes, that does. My main aim is to remove all ths bundled apps that come with the s2, hopefully improving battery by doing so.
Which firmware should i use?

A lot of custom roms eat up your battery more.You want to stop unnecessary stuff running as that adds to battery consumption.
Youd also be safer to flash LP7 stock rom(4.0.3) as that dont have the brickbug......either that or just flash a rooted kernel.
I run LP7 with dreamkernel and all the crap removed and its basically my display that runs away with the battery,other stuff dont use much.
So,there is loads of permutations you can try,any of the stock roms GB/ICS x 2/JB leak,and then theres custom roms.
For now,you should prob just flash a siyah rooted kernel(root + cwm),make a nand backup,also use hktool for efs backup.Then you can get TB and remove the unneccesary things that run and eat battery(theres a thread about whats safe to remove).
Thanks for all the info, I'll jump on later and have another read up

In that case flash Siyah kernel (this will root rom), Then reboot inro recovery and make a backup.
Once you have backed up rom, install something like SystemApp Remover. There is some info on what is safe to remove, use search.

Galaxy S3 jb 4.1 update

Ok so my friend has a galaxy s3( international) and he doesn't want to update to 4.1 because he thinks it will delete some of his stuff as it said in the update warning. Also is it smoother than 4.0. Thanks we live in Australia

whats your question? If he does not want to update then do not update, easy as that.
Smoother: yes
AW: Galaxy S3 jb 4.1 update
Hi, if update told you it will delete data i recommend doing a backup to external sd or pc. I find titanium backup for all apps and settings beeing enough for me + backup your pictures etc manually. Contacts etc should still be synced with your mal. There are also lots of apps to backup sms if you need.
If backuped all do the update and enjoy jb

I told him that you get all sorts of features in 4.1 so he wants to update. I am just asking do you loose your game data and stufflike that.
AW: Galaxy S3 jb 4.1 update
My phone came with 4.1 so i don' t know what will be deleted. But you should be prepared for loosong everything i guess. Best is always to backup all stuff on internal and external sdcard. Doing all this manually (bacjkup and restore) will be pain. So check if you find a backup solution that doesnt need root. Non root apps must be backupable without root.

updating a rooted Galaxy S2 to android 4.x

Hi there,
I have my rooted I9100 (su binary v3.0.3.2) still running android 2.3.4. I think this is time to update to 4.x (JB is the latest available I guess) but after some research I couldn't find the firmware from a trusted source (since I have to perform the update manually due to root). Could anyone help me out? Some instructions would be nice too. Thanks

Yes, see @Sun90's post about which apps are safe to remove. And you can use titanium backup (from play store) to freeze/uninstall the apps you do not want.
Edit: gastonw beat me to it..
Freeze the apps first.....in case you mess with something you shouldn't. And make a nandroid before you start....that way you always have something to 'fall back' to if you freeze/delete something that the phone needs to boot .....

thanks @ all. I just found the Root Uninstaller Pro and removed everything I was sure that will not damage the system, like those Hubs and some carrier specific bloatware. Seems to work fine
