I'm rooted. I'm looking for an app that will automatically clean junk files from my phone. Not a 1 tap solution like Clean Master but an actual set it and forget it solution. None of the apps I've found that automatically clean actually hit junk files! I am willing to pay for an app if it actually does what I'm asking. And please, if you think a junk cleaner is unnecessary, please don't bother telling me that, because respectfully that's not what I'm asking here.

All-In-One toolbox may be the app you might need. It have a plugin so that you can clean your cache and junk automatically.

Is it ok to use root explorer to delete apps I may not want? Or will doing so make it unstabe? Thanks

You should use titanium backup to delete them. I think it's included in Bionix. If not, there is free version in the market. You can also back them up before deleting them, in case you want them back later.
Why is it better to delete them thru titanium? Thank you.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Not sure it is better, but you can backup first. Also, with titanium, you are deleting from a list listed by application, as opposed to a file list. You can also back up the settings separately, so you could restore settings only or app only or both.
If you know you'll never want it back, then root explorer is fine. It's just that there are some many threads with, "does someone have XXXXX.apk, I accidentally deleted mine."
Thanks cp. They are things I know Ill never want. Like swipe tips, memo, diary etc.... I was just worried that since they were included in the rom, that deleting them would have some sort of negative side effect.

What app is best to freeze apps with ? Thanks
I use Antek app root manager but I guess everyone will tell you to go with Titanium backup.
I like bloat freezer it works nice
Can you just delete them? Instead of freezeing them?

It is possible to delete them from what i understand... but from what else i understand, if you delete them, you'll need to put them back if you intend on doing any of the OTA updates in the future. So... yea.... po-tay-to, po-tah-to.
titanium backup....
the best bang for your buck on any android device
I use titanium backup and just delete them if for some reason you need them back just reflash a rom.

Titanium backup all the way!

I used to use titanium backup pro up until about a week ago. Then I found Antek which does what I need it to do, all I ever really used titanium backup for,which is freeze bloatware. Never really used it to back up much stuff cause unlike most people I choose to reinstall everything fresh when I flash a ROM. It just feels newer. If all u wanna do is freeze bloatware, I would go with Antek.

Bloat freezer works well, there's also app quarantine and tB
TitaniumBackup pro is best for me

Don't delete.
It's a real PITA if you need to restore an app for any reason.
With the processing power, ram, and storage why would you need to delete?...

As for OP's question, Titanium Backup Pro by a landslide.
IMHO everyone should own this app since its like the "Swiss Army Knife" of Android apps...

System Tuner can freeze app and much more!
System Tuner now allows freezing/unfreezing apps very easily and much more features.
You can check its details here:

You should add after they have root as well seeing as i tried to install and it doesnt work on my phone(no root/unlock yet)
I normally just rename the apk in my system folder using root explorer. App.apk_fro

One of the many reason I prefer System Tuner Pro, much more features than just app management, and it's still being updated with new features very frequently.
And not the least, it's still cheaper than Titanium Backup Pro! It can actually replace both TBP and System Panel Pro for much much less bucks! And still offer more features than both apps united!
STP should be the 3rd app on any Android phone if not the first considering it offers many features without root requried!
The first 2 could well be ClockWorkMod and root for those wishing to have extended control over their phone.
I use bloat freezer and love it. It seems to be much more descriptive on the thing I'm freezing than TiB which usually reports com.something

Bloat freezer doesn't come up when I search the Market..Where is it?
Hey guys, I'm new to Android phone and i definitely needs some help.
I wanted to improve my phone as much as possible so I rooted and even installed clockwork mod and now I just wish to clean up all files that are useless.
Can someone help me how to delete everything except the ones that i really need? Thanks.

install titanium backup pro. you can then freeze bloat apps effectively uninstalling it but you can always unfreeze the app in case it screws something up.

Hi Friends,
I am using Samsung galaxy S plus (Android 2.3.4) rooted, looking some way to uninstall preloaded applications.
wondering if there is any way to achieve this.
am sorry if the same question has already been asked, I am new to this community and after searching did not find anything satisfactory.

Use Titanium Backup. Then just convert the unneeded 'system apps' to 'user apps' and uninstall them..
I would recommend you to use 'freeze' option before deleting the app, in case you deleted system critical app you would have still a chance to revert. Freeze the app then use your phone normally, if everything goes normal then you can safely delete.
hey guys thanks for the reply i found a free app which moves system app to user app.
app name is "/system/app mover"
which work for almost every application

would be ideal to decide for their own applications to be installed during the first ignition.
Okay, so I was visiting some illicit sites looking for hacking tools and what not to put on my Android phone to use to learn about network security. Unfortunately I ended up getting hijacked by a randsomware virus. To be specific, the PornDroid virus. I have been able to get my phone into safe mode, however I am not able to remove admin from the offending app in order to uninstall it! It has done something making it impossible to remove admin from it! When I attempt to deactivate the admin privileges I get an error message "operation is forbidden! System application can't be deleted." from the package installer.
What do I do at this point short of factory restore? I spent many hours fine tuning all of my settings and would really rather not have to do that again, lol.
Is your phone rooted. If yes then you can download system app remover from playstore as this app can remove system apps and remove your virus app too.But it need root access.
Hope it helps:thumbup:

Unfortunately, no, this particular software has been a PITA to get to root. None of the one-clicks work, and it has a non standard firmware that does not allow booting into download mode. If I could figure out what files the stupid thing needs to run, might there be some key file I could delete to disable it at least? I do have a file manager I can access in safe mode if so.
Tell me the name of that virus apk bro.

I can't. I looked for it folder by folder and there are no foreign apks. My assumption is that at the end of the install it may have deleted itself? This seems to be a very sophisticated version of this virus. There are tuts out there on how to get rid of it, but this variety seems to have really locked itself down.
The only thing that will get rid of it is formatting all the partitions and refreshing stock firmware. If it is as deep as you say then even a factory restore won't get rid of it.
Is that app still installed and appear on your device.if yes then tell me its name which it display

Try reading before posting.
I have one suggestion for you if you can root your device then root as after rooting you can only remove system apps or viruses and if you cant even tell name of that virus app then sorry I cant help you.

Once again try reading before posting. The OP already stated that he doesnt know and cant find the apk name. So there is no deleting the apk. It has most likley hidden itself into one of the system files.
Only option will be to format and reflash
Then sorry I cant help.
