Ok! So I have installed ICS on my GS2 and just rooted the thing! Problem is whenever I want to delete some apks (Swype, Polaris, etc.) I can't seem to find them in the usual system/app folder...
Can anyone tell me where to find these hidden apps? They do appear in the apps list, but I can neither unistall them or disable them...
Thanks for any assistance on the matter!
Is your phone now rooted ???

They're in data/app
With Titanium Backup, you can delete these apk files

This is my first post here, and sorry if this has been asked already but I could not find it either here or elsewhere on the interwebs...
Does anyone know where I can find the stock VoiceDialer apk and odex for the Vibrant?
I deleted both thinking it would just get rid of the app in the drawer, but now (quite predictably in hindsight) the voice dialer does nothing in my phone dialer.
Also, once I find the stock files what is the best way to install them?
Obviously I am a noob, but learning!
Thanks in advance.
Ok, I found the apk and odex. Can someone help me properly install them?? Thanks.
locate the file and just select it.. it should install the Voicedialer for.. if not just go to /system/app and copy or move both file.. restart you phone..hope this works for you.
Moving the files to system/apps and rebooting worked. Guess I didn't think it would be that simple. Thanks.
I deleted voice dialer with titanium backup, and am now unable to restore (I think because I updated to froyo). Could someone provide me with the files I need to restore Voice Dialer please?
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.
Question is how do I retrive the apk from my vibrant or would it still be there? This is a Music Junk application I had which I would like to get the apk for. Please help thanks.

If you have root explorer or such you can copy it to your sdcard.
It will be in /data/app/
4shared.com should have most of the apk of apps that arent on market. thatz where i find them
If you have Titanium you can just back up that way too.
Hello guys.
I want to know if there is a way that I can completely uninstall an application from phone system. And I don't mean the default uninstall.
After an uninstall there are always some app's files left behind. How can I find them and delete them? Or is there an application that we can uninstall all the files of a game for example with just clicking "uninstall"??
Thanks for your help
Try SD Maid from play store.
And look at system/app for .odex files from apps you have removed.
Which sometimes remain behind.
"Debloater" from market removes all app files also dalvik.just press yes to reboot after deleting system apps and all is gone..
without root???

is there a chance that i can do it without rooting my device?
Hi,
I'd like to know how to safely delete system or ROM pre-installed applications that don't offer an "Uninstall" option. I am rooted and running 5.0.2 on a Nexus 6. I know I could do this with Titanium or other similar apps but my point is to not install a specific app just for deleting apps if I can find the correct path/file from Root Explorer and remove it myself.
Thanks

from my experience the best that you can do is to use root explorer and goto system/app or system/priv-app and delete folder-app you do not need, then goto data/dalvik-cache, search for apk name and delete also program *.dex, so this is a clean method, make a reboot for clearing apk data !
It's safer to rename the app instead of deleting it... "freezing" apps often just add ".fro" to the app's name (whatever.apk.fro, for example) to keep it from appearing in your app launcher or loading. If anything goes wrong because of the "missing" app, you can easily restore it.
