i have an asus zenfone go lite zb500kg. it has low storage so i rooted it using kingroot and uninstalled bundled apps like chrome, gmail, google play music, pkay tv, etc and just disabled those that im not familiar with. i removed root access via the kingroot app and uninstalled kingroot as well after.
what will happen to thise bloatware that i uninstalled? will there be a problem if i do factory reset, if in any case i need to? will the bloatware i just removed be restored as well after factory reset, even if i have uninstalled them?

My android is causing some problems. I am planning to factory restore my phone.
I have a few questions...
I have purchased lots of apps from Google play store. I do not want all the apps to be downloaded. How can I prevent all apps from getting downloaded to my phone?
There is a firmware upgrade waiting to be installed right now. is it possible to delete the firmware? I do not want to put that on my phone....
Re-downloading Apps
It has been my experience that only those apps that were actually installed on the phone are automatically re-downloaded. So, you could go to Settings, Apps, ALL, and uninstall those apps that you don't want to be downloaded after you restore. It might also be good to reboot after uninstalling, and before restoring.

How about purchased apps? I do not have any purchased apps installed on my phone (just purchased). I do not want them to be downloaded.
I have unlocked the bootloader of my new AT&T HTC One 64 GB, installed CWM and rooted.
When I started my phone, google play stated that there were updates to a lot of apps (like Chrome, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon kindle etc) which are all system apps. So I went ahead, updated them. Then as usual, I went to titanium backup and integrated the updates into rom/system. I cleaned Dalvik and cahce. When I restarted, google play said again that the same apps are out of date and wanted to re-update them. And sure enough when I checked versions on them, they were the old ones.
So decided to go the "make these system apps normal apps" e.g. move them out of the rom to data, update, move them back to system app directory. Same problem here, after a restart old versions in the rom showed up again.
Then I decided to un-install the apps. When I un-install them through titanium backup, after a restart they are back.
Like a bad nightmare.... Any ideas?

Same for me :
My ATT HTC One is unlocked and rooted already with CWM no-touch installed.
I installed ES File explorer as well as Titanium Backup Pro and gave both root privileges when they asked for them via Super SU
I can "Uninstall", via titanium backup, all the bloatware apps but when I reboot they come back.
Similarly, through ES File explorer I run the root explorer section and choose to uninstall system apps. I then successfully remove the bloatware, but it again comes back upon reboot.
Are there any other methods I can try or any successful bloatware removals for the One from anybody here? Is it a matter, as another thread about the Incredible suggested, a matter of the kernel not allowing writes to the /system while running? If so, how do I remove bloatware from Recovery?
Thanks!
any we need a kernel that allowed writing to the /system to stop this htc added some new code
It's because the kernel does not allow the /system partition to be modified. You need to flash a kernel that has the security disabled. I'm running the Renovate rom from the Intl One forums and that kernel has security disabled and works fine on the AT&T version
Hey all,
This is on my SGP511. To get root access recently, I downgraded to an earlier version of android. Then I used EasyRoot to get root access, backed up TA, then installed XZDualrecovery, supersu, busybox, Nandroid backup, and installed the newest firmware with root.
During downgrade of android, I noticed that Play store didnt work and so I thought it would fix on it's own after I installed the latest firmware. I have also noticed Gmail does not work as well, but I do have internet connection. I tried different fixes, culminating in a factory reset.
Even after factory reset, I dont have connection to Gmail and Play Store. I dont know what to do now to get it working.

First off, I would do the following;
1. Check your Google account in "Settings" and ensure it is properly configured. You could probably Delete that account, then add it again.
2. Or, you can delete your cach in the apps themselves. Go to "Settings/Apps", select the app, and delete the cach and/or data.
Then try it.
If the App isn't listed in Settings/Apps, then it needs to be installed. If you are trying the apps while on a 3g internet connection, it may not work (connect). This happens sometimes even with me.
Hello everyone
I have a huawei y600 with 4.2.2 system in
I downloaded an app to delete some unwanted apps preinstalled like google music but i also deleted some system apps accidentally.
My phone works but i get the 110 error when trying install an app also on system all apps appear in 0mb
The worst is my phone is not recognized by pc
Tried factory reset and back up restore but nothing.
Also i cant uninstall nothing
Hello,
I rooted my Huawei ascend Mate 7 and wanted to know if one can install some other apps other than the system apps when I reset my phone with factory reset. If I reset my phone I would like to have the apps already installed so that you do not have to look for apps from the play store every time and have to reinstall them.
thank you in advance
