Hi, i want to know how to remove these pre-installed apps from my Optimus. They're singtel's apps and i don't use these apps here in my country.
FYI, I have rooted my handset with z4root. Thanks guys.
with SystemApp Remover ... phone must be rooted
steps to remove application after Root
# su
#remount rw
#cd system\app
# rm Sample.apk (pls take note that this is case sensitive)
after complete removed all applications that you want remount
# remount ro
# reboot
You can use titanium backup, or you can do it the step by step way (which I prefer).
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/app [when you get here, type "ls" to see the list of files in that directory]
rm <app name>.apk
Then reboot. I prefer rebooting from the terminal. It's cooler that way
I used ' Uninstaller for Root ' from the market. Very simple . thanks to its developer

I would suggest you root your phone using z4 root if you are on 2.2 and then use titanium backup to uninstall the system bloatware that you wish to remove.

Is it OK if i Uninstall ThinkFree Office ?
Be careful removing pre-installed apps if you are stock and want to be able to update to the next version of stock. Sometimes the update installer looks for those apps to update them and if they are not there it will halt. I learned the hard way and had to completely reinstall stock before it would upgrade. I now use Titanium Backup to "freeze" those apps I don't want so that they are still there when update time comes.

Hello, I have a LG Optimus One P500. Was a 2.2.2 but I made a downgrade of the O.S. to 2.2 and rooted with z4root!
After that I used Titanium to make a backup on the SD card of the applications I wanted to remove later!
After that I installed: SystemApp Remover v4.13
The application is quite simple to use.
I get rid of: Twitter, Gmail (I use the mail app instead also for my Gmail), Bookmarks, Google Talk and that's it!
I didn't got to much space, but I really need everything else!
I checked to restore my apps from the backup made with Titanium and is reliable!
So, if you want to remove apps on a LG P500 you can use this method!

you can uninstall this app it is just that it is a nice program to look at windows office documents with that you normally have to pay for, but it does take up a lot of space, its a personal call.

rooted using z4root and uninstall with titanium back up
ended up installing a rom afterwords so kind on pointless but whatever
Hi XDA-
Does anyone know how to remove the Superuser icon from the app drawer?
I'm preparing a Vibrant for warranty exchange & have returned it to stock 2.2 KB5.
I deleted Superuser.apk from apps, busybox from xbin, & su from bin & unrooted the phone.
I then formatted sd & and performed factory reset.
Nevertheless, the Superuser icon remains in my app drawer. I am not rooted.
I have of course rerooted & tried other things like emulator commands to no avail.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated but please do not offer suggestions that require a USB connection. The phone's USB port does not work. Hence the warranty exchange.
Thanks & Happy Friday!
can you freeze it?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.anttek.am&hl=en
can you hide it from your launcher?
Dunno Callip.
I've tried a few other apps that freeze & uninstall but not that one.
Will give it a try when I get back home.
No idea how to hide apps in stock launcher but I'll look into that too.
And hit thanks of course!
I'm at a loss... formatting both internal/external and an ODIN to wipe should have knocked anything off that phone and been like it shipped.
Really confused by the post... (more so the cause of the problem).
And if you froze it, well... it can't be in the app drawer. Something is just wrong, lol.

Tell me about it.
Left that phone at home (rockin the replacement) but I'll update later.
Worked on it earlier for hours. Formatted both cards. It just won't go away!

You need to flash an unrooted ROM. They will find it even if hidden. You need to Odin a stock unrooted ROM. Best bet is to get the Samsung USB dongle because it resets the flashing counter. Yes, you're phone keeps track of how many times it was flashed.

I always Odin (have exchanged these phones multiple times) Odin is the trick then format internal SD

I appreciate the feedback guys ...
but as the OP indicates I cannot use any approaches that require a USB connection.

From my guide:
Using terminal emulator or adb
su
rm -r /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm -r /system/xbin/busybox
rm -r /system/bin/su
reboot
maybe your stock odin pit and tar files arent exactly stock as they have superuser packed in there. Try to download a fresh copy of the stock pit and tar might help.

Yes. Can freeze & hide.
However if I delete AntTek to return Superuser returns.
Everyone else: I cannot Odin! Broken USB. I know you're just trying to help but sheesh!
Does restoring the nandroid for 2.1 erase root?
Anyone know?

Have tried those commands repeatedly already. Tried again.
Strangely emulator cannot find Superuser.apk
Got it working Callip.
Were a few issues but one was rather obvious:
When I factory reset I was reinstalling Superuser (built into the system).
Doh!
Thx again for advice.
go back to 2.1

Beware of angry gingerbread man
I can't use titanium backup anymore, everytime i run the app i get this:
Code:
Error
Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *NOT* work!
Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes Busybox, and try again
This attempt was made using the "/system/xbin/su" command
I'im running HWMOD's rooted firmware, with superuser "installed and updated", and also busybox "installed and updated". there's nothing wrong, but somehow i can't run titanium backup anymore somehow.
what can be the problem be please, i've googled it and i got no solutions whatsoever!
run the app root checker.
Also from someone who has been there, i dont think titanium works with our unit. Our unit has sd1 and sd2 and sd3. Titanium will backup to sd1, which is internal memory, you can see where this is going. I did a titanium backup, then full wipe, and lost everything because it was not backed up onto sd2...

I don't have to run ROOT CHECKER because i have already other root apps and they function flawlessly (SD maid, quick boot, Busybox installer...) but i run the ROOT CHECKER anyway and it says i do have root privileges.
i forgot to mention that i already used Titanium B to backup apps and data, everything was stored on the external sd card. i could also restore. after all this app is for all android devices.

Hi
Also running HWMOD's rooted firmware and Titanium Backup works perfectly well or me. I also have an
Advent Vega and I was able to transfer my SD card from it to the Media pad and restore apps from my Titanium
Backup on it to the Media pad.

that's what makes the app perfect, BACKUP and RESTORE between different android devices.
have you updated superuser? this seems to have been the cause. Titanium Backup was working fine before I updated superuser and error message is the same as yours. currently i'm using MyBackups.
you can check HWMOD's thread for details as somone also has him about this already.
{SOLVED}

I solved it, the problem is that titaniumbackup is using the "/system/bin/su" command but the SU binaries are actualy installed in "/system/xbin/"
what i did is going to BUSYBOX and from there switching the install location to "/system/xbin/"
i tried "mybackups" but i prefer TB

thanks hamdimo! will try your solution when I get home later.
btw, HWMOD just released HWMOD kernel 3.0.42 + custom updates and this issue was also addressed.

I fear that my hack could led to believe that searching for the "su" binary only in predefined positions is a good thing ...
I still believe applications should gather the correct informations from the PATH environment variable, as good ol' *NIX does.
But as you said it's kind of addressed, let's hope the hack will have a story
These problems arise only if one updates the "Superuser" application past the 3.0.7 (with "su" binary 3.0.3.2).
That one version is the latest one working as expected.
And yes I am a bit sceptical about my own choice of including 3.1.3 instead of the 3.0.7 in my latest update.
The "su" binary executable alone has grown from a mere 22Kb to 380Kb and "apk" has doubled it's size too (1.5Mb).
Related to these changes in "Superuser" several applications does not work any more for many users and upgrades are needed.
The process of getting "root" privileges for any application has turned tremendously slow. From almost immediate to 2/3 secs. each time.
this solution worked for me
Since superuser is working and granting root permissions to other apps (except TB). Using root explorer, I tried renaming the original su file from /system/bin/su and replacing it (copy-paste) with the su file from /system/xbin
Reloaded TB and it worked =)
Actually i have no problem in my 1st install for titanium backup. but soe how i uninstall accidentally. when i reinstall, it prompt memory not enough but i hve abt 3.5 gb left. my fone is rooted S3. can anybody help. tks in advanced...
Evening!
I recently bought Z2. Its ROOTED. SuperSU and BusyBox are successfully installed. For some reason I uninstalled some of my System Apps which I never used. All these apps are backup'ed by Titanium Backup before uninstalling them.
But when I tried to restored it from Titanium Backup it gave me the notification error – “Batch restore Finished (1 element failed).
I also used Root Explorer and Total Commander to mount my Internal Card with r/w and was Successful. But when trying to change permission to the above i.e. system/app and fix permission to rw -r -r, it gives me error pop up stating – “Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems (e.g. SD card) do not allow permission changes.”
Then I thought of using System Apps Installer to install those missing apps but it also gave me this note at the end – “Cannot mount system partition as Read/Write”.
Can somebody please guide me how can I restore those System Apps using Titanium Backup or install them as NON OF THE APPS ARE ABLE TO WRITE TO SYSTEM FILES though my Cell is ROOTED.
Your kind cooperation in this matter is highly solicited.
Thanks a lot.

I believe you need to disable ric. Try installing XZDUALRECOVERY and see whether that works.

How to disable 'ric'??
Moreover I haven't installed any recovery yet. But will try to install XZDualRecovery today. But is there any way to come out of my issue without installing any recovery brother??
Thanks!
Anyways I successfully installed XZDualRecovery on my Z2 and its working fine [Thanks to NUT, DooMLoRD n other developers ].
Though Link2SD and Titanium Backup are able to convert any of my User Apps to System Apps without any problem but while restoring System Apps with Titanium Backup it's unsuccessful. The same goes when trying to integrate updates to System i.e. unsuccessful. But User Apps are successfully been restored by TB.
Please help me what am I doing wrong or what must be wrong in my TB settings.
This is driving me crazy.
Also Xposed Framework too is installed [long back] and running flawlessly.
Bump
I know this problem of mine must be really small but am still unable to trace why am I facing this situation.
Any help from senior members will be highly solicited.
Regards.
