Wild Tangent game spyware refuses to be uninstalled. Using Rom Toolbox, when I try to uninstall it, launches and updates. I've tried multiple times and with other apps. I've killed the app, frozen the app and then tried. It always relaunches. I hate that developer and their crap. Any ideas?

If you're rooted, just disable it using pm
First, find out the com name of the app. This will list all packages installed
Code:
pm list packages -f
Then disable it
Code:
pm disable com.name.of.app
I used Solid Explorer and just deleted it then rebooted. It doesn't load if it isn't there. I forget the path. I think it was system root\vendor\app or it could have been system root\system\app. It's gone so I can't tell for sure where it was but someone can verify the path.

Probably vendor/app.

Solid Explorer did the trick. Its in the priv-app folder.
Is the one we are talking about ATT_Games.apk in priv-app? Thanks
Turn off auto update in play store and use whatever you want to uninstall it.

WildTangent is a tenacious bastard
Wow. I've tried everything above with no joy. In my latest efforts, I:
1. Turned off auto update in Play
2. Used Root explorer to delete all associated files I could find found in
a. emulated/0/JuMobile/recyclebin (from System App Uninstaller)
b. system/priv-apps
c. storage/emulated/wildtangent
3. Removed with System App Uninstaller (1st try), App Quarantine (2nd try), Titanium Backup (3rd try).
4. Restart
Each time it didn't go through the restoration process immediately after uninstall, like it would without deleting the files, and the uninstallers indicated success. Unfortunately, after restarting, WildTangent was still there. I really hate to go much farther from stock than I already am because I've had difficulties arise in the past with "stock" ROMs on my S4, but it looks like the next stop is a pre-cleaned stock ROM unless someone has a better idea.
Currently on HTC One (M8)... Rooted factory OS, slightly debloated

I just rooted my phone and i wanted to uninstall some pre-installed apps that came with the phone from my network but i don't see them on the menu in 'Uninstaller'
Can you help me please?
Also can i delete the 'Super user' icon so my phone appears to be stock/non-rooted?
I downloaded ES file manager/astro file manager and none could remove the apps 'error removing .apk' There is only like 3-4 things i wish to remove *sigh*
Download Titanium Backup from the market, this will uninstall the .apks that you want to get rid of.

Any other app that does the same? I don't want to spend $6.50 Just to delete a couple of things, I'll only use it to delete like 5 things.. seems like a waste.
I downloaded the free one and it says it'll delete the app/reboot twice etc.. but it doesnt delete the app or reboot twice, Only restarts the phone
Don't use the 'force remove app' option then, just cliick the one you want to delete in the list and click uninstall.

Ok, but it's not that simple, you can't delete everything without consquences, search for the list of files that can be deleted without harm, from your specific ROM!

I've deleted most of the apps that came from my phone network, Just 1 i cant delete for some reason. I think cause it's tied in with the browser but thats ok i'll keep it.
Installed fine on TouchWiz ROM. Can others report if it installs with no issues on stock ROM?
Edit: Took down download link. Not tablet friendly.

Stock 16gb here.
I got it installed
I now have two market apps installed. It did not override the tablet market. Also, I don't have access to the movies section.
I tried it and uninstalled it within a minute or so. Obviously not optimized for tablets. will wait for official release.
Agree...looks good on the cell. Not so much on tablet. But it is working..
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
yea I have a feeling this is the same apk for both the mobile and tablet because it works better on my TB than my GT 10.1
even then, it is alot slower compared to the previous market so idk if this is worth it just yet
Damn...i broke my market. I uninstalled the new one...old one seemed to work until i try to install an app or load my apps. Then i get a com.Google.android.finsky force close. Ideas anyone?
Edit: a data wipe and restart fixed the issue.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
yes data are not the same so have to clear it before installing the new one or after uninstalling it.
finsky is FC for me
I screwed up my market by installing then uninstalling this and wiping market data in settings and a reboot didn't fix the issue.
Market runs but when I click on the "My Apps" in the upper right I get a FC.
Can anyone send me the market vending files I need to push to my Tab's system/app folder to help me fix?
(and yes I know I am an idiot by not doing a Titanium Backup of Market before installing the new one).

See post #7 - Should do the trick.
Thanks for trying this out and reporting back, guys. I installed it on my Nexus S without issue but decided not to pull the trigger on my tab.
Looks great on MT4G. I will wait to install on my GT10.1
After the TW update, I noticed I now have 2 words with friends--the free one I previously downloaded and the one that came with TW. I'm trying to uninstall the free one but I don't have the option to. I can only force stop and clear data. In the market, I only have the option to open or update. How can I get rid of it?

Would have to be rooted and you could use titanium backup to uninstall or delete the apk via root explorer or another root file explorer.
I'm unlocked, and rooted. I just want to get rid of some of the bloat. I don't want to flash a custom Rom, yet. With other phones I remember just renaming the apk file. I can't quite remember how to do that. Also how would I do it with titanium backup? I see the is an option for freezing apps, but it seems to be to freeze all apps, I certainly don't want that.
Is there a list out there with all the apps that are safe to rename/ freeze?
Any help would be appreciated

Alright, freezing with titanium is simple. You can just go to the list of apps, long press the item, and then select freeze. If you do a batch freeze, it's faster, but this is just as easy. As for the list, yes, it's in the forum.
EDIT: Here's the list.
You can check out this tool. It's a script that will remove all the bloat for you.
You can also use it as a reference on which apps are safe to remove.

Yeah, that's easy too. I would suggest a nandroid backup before you do this one, though, just because I heard it doesn't allow everything to come back if you rebloat. But that's a good list of stuff you can freeze.
put your phone in the freezer for an hour. That should be long enough.

Check in the CleanTool thread in the dev section, between Scott and myself there are several lists. My list is all preinstalled packages on the Rezound, with apk, package name, and "normal" name.
My suggestion is to build a list of the packages you want to ditch, then move them to a separate directory. Reboot and make sure everything is still working the way you want it to. That way you have the package backed up in case something goes wrong.

OK, I went in to the list of apps (while in TiBu) I went under the backup restore button, long pressed apps from there, but there was no option to freeze, tons of other options. Am I looking in the right place?

I believe you need the paid version to freeze but you can uninstall the bloat you don't want for free. You could just backup the apps you remove before you uninstall them. Or get the key on the market for a couple of bucks and then freeze them up.
Freezing apps with titanium is a paid feature. I think Root Uninstaller has a freeze option that might be available. Or you can just remove them if you know you don't want them.
Just click on the app in the list, the option isn't under the long press menu.

freezing is a paid feature, but defreeze is a free featuer though it says it's a paid feature.
If you haven't bought TB I'd def recommend it. It's one of those things that you just have to have when doing the root thing. I bought it like 2 years ago and I still use it ALL of the time
Also, if you're running ics, it's a built I'm feature. You just go to any apps details and disable it.

You need to uninstall any updates first for the crapware apps then the disable function will be visible in stock ics.

Does anyone have a copy of those system apps that get deleted when unlocking the phone bootloader? I accidentally deleted them with the app removal wizard in the storage settings, and i don't wanna screw up the ability to install updates when they arrive. :'( would a factory reset fix this? I am not rooted or bootloader unlocked, I just removed the apps by mistake. Can't believe I made such a noob move after being here so long, lol. Can anyone help?

did you disable them or uninstall them. You have to be unlocked / rooted to uninstall them. It sounds like you just disabled them. If this is the case, go to the bottom of the all app list and you will see disabled apps. A factory reset will fix it as well.

No you aren't flashing a rom you are just taking the APK's for the apps you said you uninstalled and installing them again. You said you uninstalled some apps that you want back right? so getting those apps from the Stock base Rom you will be able to reinstall them.
