Use a file manager like mixplorer and rename or delete the system app under system/app
Seriously ? A root app cant uninstall system apps today ? the only way is to rename the app file ?

Rename only the extension
Most of the time it's not worth the trouble of actually deleting.
Code:
# pm disable com.android.email

dang, i tried to repair permissions via recovery menu and now my phone is bricked...i think of going to reflash my cellphone but i need to recover the contact info (was not sync via gmail).... i found a tool called qtadb to backup but im not sure if it will work any ideas?
U have to put vending.apk in system/app using root explorer and then give the permissions using root explorer and reboot? It'll be installed after reboot?

Well im asking myself about your answer and how its conected to my question....
How its a quastion for legit or not? If someone give his employs a phone and want to disable the camera?
Like in samsung fectory allowed to enter with cameras and phones with cameras? Right? Is it not legit?
Think before you answer....
Well, if the user who wants to uninstall an application from your phone doesn't know about root,titanium backup (there is an option to uninstall system apps there) etc then your best bet is to move it to /system/apps. If the app is there then it cannot be uninstalled through normal methods.
Bdw, you should've put your question in the Q and A section
Cheers!

to install an apk in /system/app , u should copy the apk using "root explorer" for example to that directory and set permissions to rw- r--r--(read write then read read ) but remember u have only limited space on ur /system directory about 500 mbs only
however u can use a launcher like apex , it has a feature to lock the desktop of launcher to prevent moving widgets or uninstalling apps from app drawer
u can also use an app like app locker and lock the installer app and settings app on ur phone with a secret code preventing anyone who doesnt know the code from accessing settings or unisnstall apps

well thank you very much i will look into it.
if with that app i can lock only this specific install then all good , if i disabled all other install uninstall its not good for me.
also for using root explorer i need to root the phone move the app install then unroot the phone
can i put that installer inside the rom and flash it ? will it auto install the app when flashing this rom ?
Hi,
I flashed the "S Translator" app in a zip file, it doesn't work the way I wanted. My question is can I uninstall this app as it is now regarded a system app? I've tried to look at its App Info and uninstall there but there is no option.
What are my choices?
Any help would be great.
Thanks
delete the apk from /system/app using a file explorer....
replace it with the original apk.

Safe method with any apk removal is to freeze it with TB first . If ok after use then remove .

If that application is a system app, then you have to root your phone ... But i don't think you'll be able to root your phone yet ..

Thank you. Yes, I think that application is a system app. I think also root is possible ( i'll try motochopper for mtk6589 devices) but I don't know how to locate the chinese app and what's the app name. Do you have an idea for me?
Ok, my phone is rooted. Ther's some apk that allows download of others chinese app. But I don't know what it is.
Any idea?

With some file explorer ( I recommend ES file explorer - you can get it off Google Play or as a apk file if you don't have Play Store installed, it's a free app) go to /system/app and there you will find all the stock apps. Delete the ones you don't need, but be careful not to delete something your phone needs such as SystemUI or something like that. Also you might have to mount /system first. Do that by clicking root explorer in ES and then when it shows up a pop up window make sure that the dot is set on rw for the /system . Otherwise you won't be able to delete anything.

Very thanks. I'll try this.
I saw that some apps have the suffix [3738] (for example GoogleService [3738].Apk). I do not think they're stock apps. I will try to remove these first.
Thanks again
