What's the best way to do this? I have Root Uninstaller, but it does not take apps off. For instance, trying to remove Amazon Kindle, Amazon MP3, Google +, groupcast, Kies air, VZ Nav, setup wizard, etc.

Agree... Download TB Then freeze the Apps. This will get the Apps off your App drawer but Can Still reinstall if needed. You Can delete as well but Safer to freeze incase you delete something you need.

Can we now successfully uninstall apps instead of just freezing them?
Anyone? Can I uninstall or is freezing the only method?

I would recommend a full nandroid backup before deleting stuff, just in case.then a full titanium backup, in case you mess up with one app. Then start uninstalling. there are lists of what is safe to remove. Or you can freeze, then if everything is ok after a day or two of use, uninstall the app.

Exactly! I did this the first time with RCMix3D's Runny to get rid of social media & other cruft. Now it's a lean, mean Sense machine.

if i freeze an app is that the same as deleting?? of coarse i know if u delete you get the extra space..but other than that is there a real difference?
Freezing stops it from running, it's like uninstalling without losing the files. One you confirm the file isn't necessary for anything you use, then you can uninstall.

I haven't seen a list of bloatware / AT&T apps that are safe to remove. So I thought I will ask:
- Which apps that you know are NOT SAFE to remove?
- I keep seeing in the task bar a double-arrow icon, indicating that an AT&T app is checking for software update. As a matter of fact, I did receive a message from it about a new software update. Which .apk I need to disable for this?
Again, this is only for the bloatware.
I deleted everything that had at&t in front of it. At&t messaging, my at&t, at&t navigation and the at&t update services thats the blue and red arrows you are seeing. I did this through task manager.

Thanks for the info. No problem so far with freezing these AT&T apps, including AT&T Update Services?
BTW, when you said "delete", did you mean "freezing it with Titanium Backup" or you actually REMOVE the .apk?
I froze the above apps using TB, but it is still shown in Google Play as being installed and needing update.
You can search XDA for "apps safe to remove". The SGS-II forums have a spreadsheet that works for the note.

With Google Play, the feature to DETACH from Market no longer works. So even if the app is frozen, it is still shown in Google Play, especially if there is an update.
This applies to ALL bloatware. After a while, you'll see tons of these in your Google Play list and you no longer can select
"Update All".
Can we SAFELY move the .Apk from /system/apps?
I deleted them. I froze them first and then deleted ecerything with at&t on it through task manager.

I delete a majority of the bloatware, especially if I know I will never use it.
How did you DELETE these built-in apps?
There is NO uninstall feature, even when accessing it from System --> Applications --> Manage Applications.

If you have root on your phone, many third party apps will allow you to delete them. A popular one around here is Titanium Backup. I highly suggest installing this and purchasing the key (although the free version will work just as well). Its a staple in apps to install for rooted phones.
I deleted them through task manager. I used the uninstall feature. Try it.

I use titanium backup to uninstall what I don't want, you have to be rooted though.

same here, social hub deleted and no problems........and of course all the AT&T crap since I'm with TMobile
Just a helpfull hint for safety.
Personaly I would use titanium backup (in batch) to freeze apps you may want to uninstall.. leave them frozen for a few days to ensure there are no problems.. if once your sure there are no problems you can uninstall them (delete).. Uninstall can be done most of the time though the task manager .. but if that does not work titanium backup will most defently do it..
As someone else pointed out.. I did a search for i717 app safe to remove and got this nice spread sheet..

Batch and then use radio button on top of app list.

You can hit a specific app and click restore. Tibu will give you the option to restore just the app or data too.

Also, you can't use batch restore on the free version. The paid version is well worth the $. It also has other features that are nice, like saving more than 1 back up at a time.
Good point. Also, I don't think you can freeze with the free version(just uninstall). Couldn't live without the pro version.

Hello guys,maybe it's sound incredibly (because I know that many people love this app) but I tried to install this app too, and then freeze problem started...First, I frozen Google Play Store services, because it was useless to me.When I frozen it on Titanium Backup, I just opened "Ceal master" app, and accidentally chosen "update this app" or something like that, my whole system just frozen when it's opened that Google Play store (which I was frozen on Titanium Backup) So I just had to take out a battery and take it in again to make my Samsung work again (Because there was absolutely no reaction before, even I couldn't restart it by my own holding power key) After that, my Samsung device started working normally again.
And one more example, that I was frozen Dropbox services on Titanium,then I wanted to sync my some photos with Dropbox, and my whole system frozen again and I had to take out battery and to take in again, to make my system to work normally.
So, finally I deleted that f****ng Titanium Backup app and tried to install "DisableServices" and this app doesn't cause any freeze problems for me.
So,what do you think, it is possible that Titanium Backup can cause freeze problem for a whole system?
And what about your experiences with Titanium Backup app?
Sounds like a severe case of "stupid owner"syndrome to me
If you freeze a system app, and the system needs the app it can cause the phone to freeze.
I don't want to offend you but are you sure you should be rooted after that?

Got to agree with the 2 above. Don't freeze what you don't understand

Thanks,I've learned many things with android but Titanium backup was just not for me,because probably I didn't know how to use it correctly.:cyclops:
There is a possibility that you have a mixed odex/deodexed system.. This can cause titanium backup to freeze the phone up.

why would you freeze Dropbox if you want to use it?
I rooted my device using the framaroot method, and I still can't delete the at&t apps that came preinstalled. Not sure what to do next. Any advice?
Yes.
Install Titanium Backup. There is a free version. Then find the apps you want to remove, and use the Freeze feature in TiBu first for a while to make sure that there are no dependencies. It functions just like deleting the app, but you can unfreeze it if there are problems. You can also delete apps with TiBu.
Also use this to back up your applications. To make it easier, buy the full version from the developer, which has batch back up and other features. It's a pain to try to back up apps one at a time.
Of course Yes. Titanium is the best app for backup, restore, delete app
