Can I remove some soft from official rom completely by deleting apk in system folder?
I would like to free some ram
Can I install apk named UpdateMeSmartphone like is in source of icehybrid rom?
UpdateMe is useless on stock ROM, as it doesn't give you any updates.
UpdateMe is for custom ROM developers, so that ROM users can easily update directly from phone.
You can remove some system APKs, but be careful with what you remove. Removing needed files can result in some functions not working or even bootloop. Make backups
You can also use the free version of sd maid, it can uninstall stock apps along with its data

Before removing a sys app, freeze it. That way you can restore it if you get some error or problem.
Apps like Titanium Backup, system tuner etc. are able to remove/freeze system apps.
OR you may want to try this out using the flashtool
Requirements:
1. Rooted phone with sufficient battery.
2. Tick check to the following options on your phone settings: USB cable at debugging mode, stay awake, Unknown services (Under the application menu and the development sub-menu directly inside the application menu settings).
In the flashtool UI choose clean apk (garbage icon) pick this to pull out those apps suspected as bloatware on your ROM. Check the forum for safe to list apps to pull during your clean up.
Once you have the list refer to the second pic, it is the list of all the apps installed on your phone. Be sure to create a profile name which serves as your reference when you re-install (just incase) The rest is self explanatory bro.

In almost every ROM are apps which are not really needed to run the phone.
I use Cyanogenmod and every Nightly comes with the same "safe to remove apps"... I'd like to stay uptodate with every nightly BUT i always get these not needed apps.
So I start removing them 1by1 with TitaniumBackup which takes time and sometimes I forget one or another app.
Is there a app which can remove apps that I can define in a list? How are you handle those barebones?
(I guess a good alternetive would be ADB or a terminal script)
temesek has a script that you can flash, after flashing a CM7 ROM, to do this. You can adapt it to add the Apps that you usually remove. The script can be found in his mediafire folder. See here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18523875&postcount=20861
It's called System App Remover iirc
Edit: Personally i just use Root Explorer, and with W/R and Multi-Select enabled, i just run down the list in /System/App and delete all the ones i don't need.

If you have FCs on your phone, try to wipe cache (and Dalvik cache) in recovery mode first.
To install apps, you do not need to copy the files into special folders.
Just click the apk file and select install.
The app will install from apk file automatically, if there is no "old" version installed and all required things (access, other apps, phone model, etc.) are available.
If you are not sure about installed apps, just check in settings menu: Settings > Applications.
Or use an app like Titanium Backup to manage your apps (+ app data).
oh please, im not a noob, i know how to install apks, i need to pre include them in my rom,
certain apks, for example "ChatOn", when i install it normaly it will work with no problem,
but when i put it in system/app it will force close when i first start the phone
the same goes with data/app
Hello. I'm not very experienced with android and recently got a new z ultra (6802). I think it came with 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 i'm not sure, but as soon as i turned it on i was notified to update to 4.4.4. All went well and one of the first apps i installed was clean master. I hadnt tried to root the phone and i was thinking about it mostly in order to get rid of some preinstalled apps, but i found out that clean master had an option to "deactivate" them so they disappeared and all was fine. The last few weeks i loaded the phone with all sorts of useless stuff i wanted to try, and today i tried rooting it using this tool and everything worked ok. Then i did a hard reset and started setting everything up again... But this time clean master, root app delete and 2 other apps of the same type wouldnt uninstall system apps (despite having root access now). Any ideas on what to do? Is it because of the root - should i try to unroot it? Where can i find these ftfs needed? I saw some in the forum but they are for 6833..

Well, clean master is one of the app I hate most. Killing app processes frequently and clearing app caches are the bad ideas for android devices because android system always try to restart apps everytime you kill. So it greatly reduces battery life. Clearing caches can make apps to start slowly.
That's not the point, right? But just a suggestion not to use task killers and cache cleaner if you have enough RAM and storage space.
Ok now for your problem not uninstalling system apps,
-Install ES File Explorer
-Tap the upper left of the app (three striped shape)
-Tap Tools, Tap Root Explorer (not on the button "On") giving/allowing/authorize root access
-Now Tap Mount R/W and choose every partition as R/W then Tap OK
-Let's get back to explorer, Tap the upper left box labelled as "/" (it will redirect you to root of the Device)
-Go to "system" folder in explorer
-There are two folders in Kitkat, namely "app" and "priv-app"
You can now choose apps to be uninstalled that you couldn't uninstall inside these folders by removing any apps (and .odex files) by Long pressing on apps and choose multi apps at once.
For me, I don't delete apps that I wanted to uninstall but I cut them and create a new folder on sd card and paste them all in that new folder for later needs (you can navigate to internal or external storage from the upper right box of the Explorer, to create new folder, tap on the button with "+" sign at the bottom left corner of the app). Don't delete apps that you don't know well because doing so can prevent your device from booting up.
P.S. You can also install apps as system ones in that reverse way (copy, paste from external to system/app). Remember not to include space in the name of the app you wanted to install as system.
Remember to restart the devices after moving/deleting apps.
I think you now understand how to do. Good Luck, mate.
Thanks for taking the time to help! and es file explorer looks like a really nice app. i followed your instructions and moved some of the apk and matching odex to sd card. the problem is the apps didnt dissapear from the list and as soon as i was done play store was downloading new versions of the apps i moved... what i dont understand is why it worked in the first place when it was new! could it be the sony firmware it came with? since this failed, is there an app to freeze these things?

One thing I left to say that you must restart your device as soon as you finish moving/deleting system apps. After rebooting, the device system will delete app leftovers. It will solve your problem of not disappearing from the list.
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.
Simple way to remove boring and useless app from your android phone!
Hi,people often ask how to remove bloatware apps.Questions always coming,but answer no.So,I decided to crate one answer for
all questions like this.
Deleting system apps may be dangerous.You can delete some very important system app and brick your phone.
I managed find very very small and usefull app.You maybe already know this app,mabye not.
This app support any android device!
System App Remover - root required
You have little chance to make some mistake because this app telling you which application you can delete,which you can't.
[Could remove] - You can delete any app with this mark
[Should keep] - You can delete some app with this mark
[Key module] - Be careful with this,beter don't touch apps with this mark
Process is very simple,check apps you want to delete,tap red "Uninstall" and wait.
After uninstalling apps you must go to recycle bin,select uninstalled apps and tap delete.After deleting apps restart your phone.
And,that's it,you permanently delete bloatware apps!
Program options:
-Backup apps
-Restore apps
-Move apps to sd card
-Delete user apps
-Search
-Install .apk files
- ...
Guys,that is all.If you have some question,just ask.
And yes,if I make some grammar mistake,sorry! :angel:
