how can i remove it?
Settings >Apps >Manage Apps
If you don't see the Uninstall option, you'll need an app as Root Uninstaller (or delete the apk directly using a root file browser).
ok thank you

Thanks in advance.
I found the software Root Uninstaller Pro v1.20 that should do the job.
Trying out now.
I'm using "Titanium Backup" for that, it has a lot of uses besides uninstalling bloatware.
Thanks Heimiko, will try out that software too. Currently the root uninstaller able to solve my case.
If you only wants to hide them you can use "Launcher Pro"

You can remove stock apps by using Terminal Emulator. Here is the tutorial - http://jaxov.com/2010/09/how-to-remove-stock-default-android-apps-easily/

Yup~ before root u need to unlock bootloader 1st~
try to avoid unlock bootloader if u just want to keep your phone warranty~
try to stop stock apps operating; android assistant can block other apps at startup and kill apps~
dont waste your phone warranty~
Does somebody got a list with what .apk is what app? Some of the .apk does not resemble some of the apps, and don't want to delete something that might kill my phone.
edit: Btw, you can uninstall apps in flashtool.
If you find the right apk then you can remove the app without any problem with this tool? I mean if the app isnt important, like Gamesbypopcap.

Yeah! Certain app/apk I was remove using root uninstaller - result; my phone running on 235/334MB free space memory~
backup before remove~ if you want to install back to system app you needs to purchase root uninstaller pro
=/ not good if you make mistake~

try use root uninstaller - you will know with apps that u want to remove, just refer to icon of apps in root uninstaller =) list? refer to 1st post
Yeah, you need to root your mini for that. It voids the warranty, but I'm pretty sure you can reverse it so people can't tell. Technically, you've voided your warranty, but if you remove the evidence, no one can tell and your warranty is honored. You need to know what you're doing, obviously, so you should look into it more before trying it.
Hey guys i have another question, i dont think a new thread is needed.
My mini pro says the sdcard has 1.2 gb used but when i select all files inside the card with Windows explorer it says there is only 350mb used. Why? and who's right?

Is there a way to remove them without rooting the phone?
Or did the devs already find a way to root he phone without unlocking the bootloader?
As the title suggests is there any way to install google chrome as a system app?
If i manually move the apk file to system/app using root explorer, reboot my phone and then open the app it gives an error saying that the installation is not complete...
So can you guys help me?
Sorry for being a noob, but can u guys help me?

Sounds like Chrome does not want to be installed as a system app then Is there some benefit to having an app installed as a system app? Or why do you want to have it installed as a system app?

OK I don't know how things work on phones outside of the HD2, but can't you just push the .apk to /system/app with a root explorer, fix permissions in CWM and reboot?
Try to use ADB to move it and remember to set permissions
You need to extract libchromeview.so from the Chrome APK (found at: com.android.chrome-1.apk/lib/armeabi-v7a/libchromeview.so) and move it to system/lib. Optionally, you can remove libchromeview.so from the Chrome APK and zipalign if you want to save a couple of MBs of space.
This worked for me on v. 0.18.4531.3636. I attempted this some time ago on an older version unsuccessfully. If you have an older version for some reason, you'll probably need to update.
Latest titanium backup update said something about fixing conversion in what's new

If I'm not mistaken system apps load first on boot and are often quicker at starting up than user apps. That's been my experience anyways. However a lot of em are more hassle to convert than the slight increase in speed is worth imho

Well im asking myself about your answer and how its conected to my question....
How its a quastion for legit or not? If someone give his employs a phone and want to disable the camera?
Like in samsung fectory allowed to enter with cameras and phones with cameras? Right? Is it not legit?
Think before you answer....
Well, if the user who wants to uninstall an application from your phone doesn't know about root,titanium backup (there is an option to uninstall system apps there) etc then your best bet is to move it to /system/apps. If the app is there then it cannot be uninstalled through normal methods.
Bdw, you should've put your question in the Q and A section
Cheers!

to install an apk in /system/app , u should copy the apk using "root explorer" for example to that directory and set permissions to rw- r--r--(read write then read read ) but remember u have only limited space on ur /system directory about 500 mbs only
however u can use a launcher like apex , it has a feature to lock the desktop of launcher to prevent moving widgets or uninstalling apps from app drawer
u can also use an app like app locker and lock the installer app and settings app on ur phone with a secret code preventing anyone who doesnt know the code from accessing settings or unisnstall apps

well thank you very much i will look into it.
if with that app i can lock only this specific install then all good , if i disabled all other install uninstall its not good for me.
also for using root explorer i need to root the phone move the app install then unroot the phone
can i put that installer inside the rom and flash it ? will it auto install the app when flashing this rom ?
Is it possible to delete Google Hangouts from my phone completely?
I don't use it, nor will I ever use it, so why does it have to be on my phone? I am so sick of having it pop up in Play Store reminding me to update it, when I don't even use it. I would rather it be deleted from my phone so I will never be prompted to update it again. The saddest part is they must know what a complete dud this app is as they've removed the uninstall tab on the play store page (well for me its removed and I can't uninstall it from the play store) but they sure as hell like to remind me the bloody thing needs updating ...
Could someone please advice the best method to rid my phone of this nuisance.
Thx
You can uninstall it with titanium back up as long as you are rooted but I'd freeze it first to be safe. Don't think you can uninstall it without root
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium
with root you can uninstall it via rootexplorer or search here for aromafile manager,with this you can delete it in recovery,just flash aromafile man zip in cwm and go to system/apps and delete it,exit filemanager and reboot,done.
I've searched for google hangouts via rootexplorer and titanium and its not listed. Is it installed under a different name?
Thx

Thanks the RootAppDelete tip. It is a nice little program. Disabled lots of apps to try out. If all is well, I will uninstall them. It found most of what I want to remove and showed me the apk files. I could not find Google+ because they renamed the file something else like plusone.apk. I still cannot find the program for Lattitude.
I have some reservations about using Titanium backup. Installed the free version and it backedup OK. But since then it would hang regularly whenever I tried to use it to delete apps. So I stopped using it.
