Most ROMs don't have that option in the app settings, you can use it through Link2SD but it probably needs root

Move firefox to system/app set permission and reboot, it becomes system app.u will get disable option u don't need app to do this stuff.

Freezing is essentially uninstalling except the program is not deleted since it cannot be deleted because the system pertition is mounted read-only.
Normally you freez application that you wish do uninstall but can't so why would you want to freez application that you can uninstall?

You get update notifications for disabled apps (say an update broke something and now it's always in the background wasting CPU cycles) or it's just a seasonal thing (like I do for the Lucca Comics countdown, heh)

No there is no update notification for disabled apps.
If you want to have an update notification then just force stop.

deleting dell stage and welcome?

After rooting i used root explorer to remove some "clutter" apps but i can find where i can remove these items? Any one know where i checked system/app but they are not there? Also is dell sync required?
Thanks
i just checked mine and the apps are there. i use titanium backup to uninstall what i don't need.
What are they titled? And they are under system/app ? Also cant you only delete with titanium pro? not the free which i have tried and there doesnt seem to be that option?
hmm never mind i see them now, under the backup tab if i click i can delete What about dell sync is that required?
From the 2.2.2 stock rom I was able to remove oovoo and anything labled Roxio/Nero without any issue. I left the Stage software installed.
I remove sync and welcome every time i setup and for the first time just froze stage

What do you mean "froze" stage? Anything else that can deleted that extra crap is cool so if you have removed stuff and nothing critical happened let me know ppl.
I use titanium backup to remove apps. You can also freeze apps so they don't run but are still on the phone

With all the no-flash back BS, you are much better off freezing apps instead of deleting just to be safe...

I believe Moto/AT&T have made it so you cant uninstall their bloatware.

Root and move the app from /data/apps due to permissions the apps will not allow for uninstall without root. It is safer to use titanium backup to freeze the apps because some roms won't update without all apps

[Q] Planning to uninstall Maps

Hi,
I am currently on Galaxy S2, Gingerbread 2.3.3, and am planning to uninstall the System app Google Maps using Titanium Backup.
For now I will use a third party app (Sygic). However in the future I may want to install it later, but if possible I will choose to install it as a normal app instead of restoring the system app.
Questions -
1. If I remove Maps, will it affect any other part of the system that you would like to caution me about?
2. If I replace the system app with normal app, will I be able to upgrade to next version of android whenever it's rolled out for my phone?
You may just freeze it...
But as I know, there is no problem after removed it from system. I've my maps removed as system as well and installed with Burt Maps which Is non-system app.
PS, if you installed custom Rom, you won't get official update anymore.
Won't effect system upgrade.

[Q] How can I uninstall completely an app?

Hello guys.
I want to know if there is a way that I can completely uninstall an application from phone system. And I don't mean the default uninstall.
After an uninstall there are always some app's files left behind. How can I find them and delete them? Or is there an application that we can uninstall all the files of a game for example with just clicking "uninstall"??
Thanks for your help
Try SD Maid from play store.
And look at system/app for .odex files from apps you have removed.
Which sometimes remain behind.

This doesn't uninstall ( meaning physically delete from disk ) apps: apps with this method simply get hidden

Ow, so then, the only thing you can do is hide with this method. (also useful)
IMHO instead of simply hiding an app to user, what doesn't prevent the app in question will automatically get started when Android is booted and therefore still performs some actions you don't want to do it ( e.g. connecting to Internet, sending data, downloading data, etc.pp ) thus using system resources as CPU and RAM, is to completely disable the app in question.
Android users may utilize Startup Auditor app what is a very handy app to do so. This app doesn't require Android is rooted.
