i have rooted z2 and i deleted file commander by accident with ES file explorer
i reinstalled it again but now it's just normal user application how can i set it back as system application
Use Link2SD to convert user apps into system apps. Free up some space by deleting bloatware in system/etc/customization/applications and system/etc/product/applications. After converting said app into a system app reboot your phone.

Thos are apps waiting to be reinstalled in the event of a factory reset. Just use any root explorer to delete them.

Is there a good program in which I can delete system applications for Samsung Galaxy S-II without affecting phone performance. I have tried a program called ( Absolute System ) but after deleting some applications the phone was unstable.
Titanium Backup....comes to mind. Absolute amazing app.
but when i used absolute system and deleted some applications, the icons didn't disappear from screen !!! Maybe I don't know how to deal with this program !!
i have tested titanium and i didn't find the way to delete the programs. It si only for backup/ restore programs
root explorer.
go to system/app/
delete any app you want...
restart the phone

Yes there is, it's called Freezing and Unfreezing. Freezing removes the app from your phone. But the file remains on there, in case problems occur, that way you can unfreeze and return the app to its normal state.
Be aware that deleting the wrong file can lead to a non booting phone so Backup .

Seems you have tried the free version, the Pro version has the Freeze and Uninstall feature, but yes, do make sure what you are Uninstalling, I always recommend Freezing an app but not Uninstalling.

I have rooted my phone, installed Superuser etc and I'm using Android Mate to delete a trial app called GFG 2011 but can't delete it.
The program was installed along with other apps but after trying to delete it without success I tried to move it to the delete bin and it ended up replacing the green phone icon on bottom of screen and put the green phone icon back with the rest of the apps.
With Android mate I can access system/app and tick GFG 20011 (Good Food Guide 2011) then select delete sometimes message says it is successfull but app is still there.
Any Ideas how to remove this blasted app? Would I have to use titanium pro?
I have root access now by using Gingerbreak installed on my optimus sd card so now I need to find the correct procedure to removing them from my command prompt on my computer. What are the steps and then what are the commands to remove apps from my Optimus V ?
thanks in advance
I have found a more automatic way of removing the bloatware. I downloaded root explorer and moved the app files from within the system->app to my sdcard. That way if I ever want to I can move them back.
The guy above me is correct as well but E.S file explorer is a free app with no ads and does everything as root explorer and looks better while doing it.
Click menu enable root settings/mount then long click the app you want to delete
I prefer not to delete but simply "move" to sdcard so that I can bring it back if need be.
or you can use titanium backup
Before you move anything make sure they're safe to remove, as in won't affect other apps. Having a backup won't hurt too. Many apps can uninstall system apps, among them Titanium Backup, Gemini App Manager, Link2SD or file managers with root access such as Root Explorer($), Ghost Commander, ES File Explorer and File Expert.
A safer way is to freeze the bloatware using Titanium Backup Pro($) or Gemini App Manager rather than deleting. You aren't likely to be using the space in system memory anyway.
I like using the Harmonia ROM, but I have an S Screen, so I also use the Xionia Anykernel 14 with a button switcher, so it functions GREAT so far, and none of those crappy preloaded bloatware apps, but if I ever need to get back to the original OS, I can nandroid restore my backups of my old system.
Used Titanium Back apps for several months. Had no system problems. Needed a bit more internal memory free and decided to uninstall the stock gingerbread music app ( which i backup and then I uninstalled it) because I use other music players and it has been listed as being safe to remove w/o system probs.
Samsung galaxy y
Stock 2.3.6 Froyo ROM
Before doing anymore uninstalls I wanted to see if i could restore this. Titanium Backup Pro just hangs indefinitely when trying to restore the stock music.apk app. Have to kill it. Using Root Explorer and ES File Manager, I am able to see the app in the system/app folder after doing this but it does not show in the app drawer.
What I've Tried:
1. Contacted Titanium Support. Great guys and very helpful. Cannot stress this enough and the app is awesome. They suggested taking the apk from the backup files and moving it using adb.
Result: Moved the file but would not show up in app drawer.
2. Found the stock music.apk in system/app folder using Root Explorer
Result: Tried rebooting. Did not work. Tried factory reset from Privacy Menu. Still not in app drawer.
please help guys!!!!!!!!!!!! how to fix this????
Have you tried clearing the data for Music app? When I've restored apps with Titanium, sometimes the data is corrupted or something and I have to clear the data.
You can always try uninstalling it and pushing a new music program with adb.
Hello all,
I've recently rooted my sk17i and removed some stock apps using Terminal Emulator and it worked perfect for me.
But I still have two apps that I want to remove but I am not able to find thier .apk name:
1. Games by PopCap
2. Games & apps
Any one know which .apk s to remove ??
Thanks
Install an app that gives you ability to view system files and folder (Root Explorer or ES File Explorer), navigate to system/app folder using one of the aftermentioned apps, and there will you find apps you want to delete.
Edit: I don't know their correct names, but you will be able to reckognize them by icon.
Use Titanium Backup and you will find it quite fast.

Thank you Deyo
I tried that before but didn't work
now I installed Root Uninstaller and could remove those apps
How come?, as I used those two app for the same reason as you - deleting unwanted apps, and there were no problem.

Titanium Backup shows ALL apps(system and user) installed on your phone by their name, allows you to backup and restore them with userdata and lots of other stuff. Check it out, it is actually a must-have root app.
does anybody know of an android uninstaller app/apps that removes data folder, and associated left overs from uninstalled apps?

When you uninstall an app from Settings ====> Apps, all traces of app from /data, .android_secure, /sdcard/Android are erased.
Only thing that is left is folder created by app IN SDCARD. (example sdcard/Tasker) You need to delete such folders manually. I think this a security feature so things like WhatsApp media are not deleted when you uninstall it.
Press Thanks if helped.
