I have the root explorer when i when i went to data/data/com.amazon.mp3, if i press on that folder and go to permissions I unchecked everything...But every so often I get an amazon MP3 errror dump to sd....If I have everthing unchecked it shouldnt try to execute right?
Can i just delete unwanted program/folders from the data/data folder? or is it going to make my streak unstable?

Did you delete apps from system/app or moved to /data/app and then uninstalled it?
The correct way to remove default apps is to move then from system/app to data/app, reboot and the uninstall it opening settings/manage applications.
If you just deleted apps from system, its better to repair your phone with SEUS and remove stock apps with correct way. Believe me, I removed apps before without uninstalling then and system was sucking my battery very fast. Just make a repair, uninstalled things correctly and now my phone is so much better.
Wat is the need of removing the app make backup of that and replace wid the android default calendar...

Yes i think i have deleted directly from System/app :-(
but i think there is a way to install it with ADB no?
maybe i can put original SE calendar and remove again the correct way?
I didn't try it, but I think u can...

Did the "rm /system/app/Candendar.apk" and wondered why it didn't work.
The system keeps some files in memory and they survive the "rm" command. Fixed this by doing;
1. Setting> Applications > Manage Applications and removing all calendar named apps, (there were about 4 still including com.sonyericsson.calandar!)
2. Restart phone.
3. Copy standard Calendar and CalandarProvider across (I used scp and dropbear, you could do the same with adb or rootexplorer) Files are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9434204&postcount=2
4. Restart phone. (I didn't need to run the "install" command, files were "chmod 644" already)
Now have the standard calendar rather than the SE calendar!
Solved ! thanks
My NT is using indirect's root and I had the stock apps removed. Every time I reboot, pandora, netflix, and hulu plus always show back up after I uninstall them. Any clue why they come back after a reboot? My netflix app always asks for an update and I have two copies of pandora on there.
you have to first go to root--->system---->app find the app and delete.
then uninstall
then reboot
(may need to change permissions to delete the crap)
I had this same issue, and one of the best ways to prevent it is before trying to delete/uninstall theme, is to go into the stock app manager and archive everything, this unregistered the flag that says they should be there on the device at all from B&N's perspective, and ensures they won't just suddenly appear again. I had the same issue with Netflix continually reverting to B&N's version instead of the newest version.

i'm not seeing a system folder in root... do i need to use a specific app to change permissions? i've already gone through several folders on the nook and on the memory card trying to track the apps down and can't find anything...

how do you archive everything? by the stock app manager i'm assuming you mean the menu where it lists all your apps...
market--->es file explorer
install
open---->top right( star for favs) click. THen select the phone object thing. (/) is under mine
root will open up
click system(should be before vendor folder)
click on App folder(before Bin folder)
select app---> change permissions so you can delete
after delete uninstall that app(which you deleted)
reboot and it should be gone

Hi,
I have transformed CoolReader into system app with Titanium backup. It was crashing so I tried to move it back to user app again with Titanium backup. However during this procedure TB hanged and after some 20 minutes I killed it. I later tried to uninstall it (again with TB), but it seems that there are still left parts of it somewhere so now I am unable to reinstall the app from google play (error 491) or if I clear cache and data of google play and force the application to install it keeps crashing.
So I would like to ask what should I delete to completely eliminate the traces of CoolReader (or any application in general) and be able to install it again?
I'm not sure if this will work but give it a shot.
Try finding an apk of your app and, using Root Explorer, paste it in /system/app (remember to mount /system as RW using Root Explorer). Set permissions (All read, owner-write, owner-execute) and reboot. That should register the app as a system app.
Go back into /system/app and delete it. Reboot and it should unregister it as a system app, allowing you to reinstall from Google Play
I rooted my kids GS4, using open1your1eyes0 method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380325
All went well with that.
I tried to get rid of some of the bloatware using Root Browser, that didn't work so well, so I bought Root Explorer and that worked fine.
It seems that I cleaned a bit too much, I took off some things the kid wanted, including the accuweather app (widget) and while the Google Play icon is still on the phone, it does't work.
I figured no problem, I copied the entire system/app folder from an untouched GS4 to my hard drive, then copied the apk's for Google Play and Accuweather to the rooted GS4's Sd card and tried to install from there. It went thought the motions, but when it was done the screen read "App Not Installed".
I then moved the apk's to the phone and put them into the system/app directory and tired again, same "App Not Installed".
any ideas how to re-install these?
You don't want to install system apps, just use Root Explorer and copy them to your system/app folder (make sure you hit the "Mount R/W" button) set the permissions on both files and reboot.
If you are not sure what to set permissions at long press on an existing app and select permissions and see which boxes are checked.
That should get you fixed up.

Hi,
I'd like to know how to safely delete system or ROM pre-installed applications that don't offer an "Uninstall" option. I am rooted and running 5.0.2 on a Nexus 6. I know I could do this with Titanium or other similar apps but my point is to not install a specific app just for deleting apps if I can find the correct path/file from Root Explorer and remove it myself.
Thanks

from my experience the best that you can do is to use root explorer and goto system/app or system/priv-app and delete folder-app you do not need, then goto data/dalvik-cache, search for apk name and delete also program *.dex, so this is a clean method, make a reboot for clearing apk data !
It's safer to rename the app instead of deleting it... "freezing" apps often just add ".fro" to the app's name (whatever.apk.fro, for example) to keep it from appearing in your app launcher or loading. If anything goes wrong because of the "missing" app, you can easily restore it.
