Your tablet needs to be rooted to remove system apps. After that you should be able to use Titanium backup or any root explorer to remove the app.
Not working

Hi, I have already rooted my tab. When I try to use Titanium backup or Root explorer, it says that I cant remove the app because it's read only.
On a lighter note, I hate how my name has been "censored"

Interesting... Are you running a custom ROM, or stock? Second, when using Root Explorer, did you make sure to hit the itty bitty "Mount R/W" button at the top of the file list? Third, have you tried "freezing" the app with Titanium Backup instead of deleting, sometimes that works. Otherwise, you may have to try ADB to remove or rename the apk, or see if someone has a flashable zip for the custom maps apk you need.

I use Titanium Backup Pro and Freeze the apps for now...
If you have root, you can download Root Explorer from the app store. Use it to browse to the app directory and just delete the apps you don't want. Another option is to rename the unwanted apps. For example, change APPNAME.apk to APPNAME.apk.bk ... then it will be "hidden" from the system. Restore it at anytime by removing the ".bk" extension.

Is there a free version of root explorer? Or a free way to rename these files? I don't really feel like paying $4 to remove bloatware.

Anytime I connect via my computer, it says permission denied for su. I know I have root, so I am a little confused. I can uninstall with Titanium Backup, but I was planning on keeping a copy of the apk, just in case. Is there any reason I would need this bloatware? Such as for Warranty or insurance? Other wise I'll just go and remove the worst of the bloat with Titanium backup. Thanks.

there is RUU downloads in the Dev forum that will get you back to where you need to be in case you want to warranty your phone and make it 100% stock again. Best thing to do before removing stuff is boot into clockwork recovery or use rom manager(from the market) and backup everything...then delete. if you come across a problem with deleting something jsut restore from a backup.

Oh I didn't about the backup. I'll have to do that. Does the backup copy apks and everything too? Thanks.
So I just installed Cognition X2 that comes with the Program Monitor apk uninstalled. I got the apk for it, but AppInstaller is not installing in on my phone.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how I get it installed?
If you have Titanium and did a back up before you flashed the new ROM, you might be able to restore it through Titanium, it has worked for me with apps on my tablet.

I tried doing that but titanium kept on being stuck at restoring over and over.
I believe titanium only backup settings not the .apks itself?
I'm quite fond of the samsung accuweather & programing monitor widget also.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Yep, when I try titanium backup it starts the restore process but never finishes it.
I think I got us the solution.

I saw that yesterday, but root explorer is a $$$ app. I was hoping for a free solution. Would Droid Explorer work??
any sort of explorer, that allows you to set permissions should do the trick
Got Root Explorer, it worked!

manually push it to /system/app with adb or put it on the sdcard and copy it over with a file manager.
edit:
nvm, i see you did that already

I see you went ahead and purchased root explorer. I've had root explorer since I first got my captivate, and it's an awsome and useful app. But for anyone who wants a free root file manager, there is one included in the free version of Super Manager by Gpc, which you can download in the market.
Hi,
I used the system root, installed titanium backup, and froze yp mobile. After I rebooted I no longer see yp mobile in my apps, but it is still in my contacts. If I tap it, contacts crashes. How do I get rid of it here?

Thanks...I can't reply on that thread yet. Do I have to use root explorer? Is there a way with titanium backup since I already bought it?

Well if you are comfortable with ADB you can push it that way. But I don't know anyway to do this is TiBu. Root explorer is well worth the 4 dollars though. It will make this task extremely simple.
If you wanna play, Root Explorer is almost a must. Learning how to use some simple ADB commands won't hurt either.
For ADB start HERE. It'll give you some over view and direct you on getting it set up. Once you try it, you'll see how easy it is to use.
Hello, another thread about this glitch.
I am using ordroid 6.1 which has so minor glitches, like for instance the bluetooth will go on whenever i connect the usb cable to my computer! The bluetooth is off all the time but it will go on, does anyone knows about this?
I have been trying for the last 3 hours to install titanium backup to gain my backup apps, but i have no luck so far.
I read in this website that you need to go using apps called root explorer or ES Explorer to find a file titanium.opk and delete it. I have been using booth apps and i cant find tle damm file at all.
The phone is rooted, i checked using root check and the phone is rooted.
I dont know what going on, can someone help me out here?
Thanks a lot!

First you cqn use QtADB on your PC (or just mount your sd) to search for the file.If you cannot find it try installing Titanium Backup as a system app. You can do that by pushing it via adb or just copy/paste in /system/app

Is there a thread where i can see this? I am very new with this kind of stuff.
Thanks either way
The actual file you're looking for is com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup.odex in /data/app
Just delete and you should be fine. You can use Solid Explorer or Root Explorer, bot can be obtained from the market.
Could anyone tell me how I can take an app from my old MT4G and put it on my Amaze?
Apparently the app is no longer available on the Market and I don't like any of the other options.
Thanks for any help.
Can you not back up your app using Titanium Backup, move your backup to your Amaze and use titanium to restore that one app? I'm new to Android but seems like an idea..
Or you can use root explorer, browse to your system/data partition and look for the app_name.apk file if you downloaded it or system/apps if the app came with the phone and look for the same file and copy that file to your memory card and install it on your new device normally or by placing it in the same folder you took it it out from on the old phone, though you'll need root privileges to do that on the new device.

I don't see why that wouldn't work. I should have thought of that before.
Thanks. I'll give it a try now. Lol. I actually paid for TB I might as well use it.

I will try both ways. Would TB need root access on the new phone?

Depending if you're backing up the app+data or just the app, if it's just the app you won't need root access, but app+data will require root.

It's just the app, which if anyone is wondering is "Craigslist Notification".
One of the best free CL apps out there.
And I would know because I downloaded 6 different ones on the Amaze and didn't like ANY of them.
The ones with pictures had no prices, the one with prices had no pictures.
The ones that had both, had no "save" feature...so on and so forth.
So I still have the app on my old MT4G and just wanted to pull it off there and install it on the Amaze.
For some reason the app is no longer on the Market.
Thanks for all the help guys. I'm about to attempt to move the app now.
Will report back.
or if you have adb setup you can use:
Code:
adb pull /system/app/[I][COLOR="Red"]nameofapp[/COLOR][/I].apk
\
then you will find it in your computers user directory

It's not part of a ROM or system files guys, it's actually an app that was once available on the market, I used to use it at one point in time, so can you post the apk file when you pull it please OP.

So I'm back from the beach and burnt to a crisp BUT I got the app on my Amaze now!!! WOOT!!!!
Used Root Browser Lite on the MT4G to copy the apk from /data/app to /sdcard.
Then moved that apk on to my desktop.
Plugged in the Amaze and dropped it on the phone then used Astro File Manager to browse to the apk and install it.
Everything is working fine now and I have a copy of the apk on my computer if anything should ever happen.
Thanks a lot for all the help guys. I really really appreciate.
I can't live without this app. I LOVE getting deals on Craigslist.
And Dark, am I allowed to post the apk up?
I have the free version, so it's not a paid app.
Once it's a free app, there's nothing preventing you from posting it bro.
