did it install as a system app? Strange. Could always use tibu to convert to a user app(if it is a system app) or just clear data and uninstall from tibu itself.

This app is a security application is it not? There are 2 options for install, both an apk file as well as a flashable zip. Did you install the apk or flash the zip. As well did the developer of the app give special instructions on uninstalling? If the app is for locating a lost phone there may be a trick to the uninstall process.
Titanium backup should allow the removal if your phone is rooted.

For me, I use avast and they have a removal tool built into the app for the anti theft portion. After that's removed you can uninstall the antivirus portion like any other apk. I would definitely check within the app first to see if there's a removal tool.

Ah yes thank you for reminding me. Usually there is ab option in the app that let's you un install it normally but since I was having problems the Dev Gave me a custom apk to run (and now another one which is why I had to uninstall) and I did move it as a system app that's why. I was successfully able to remove through titanium backup. Idk why I didn't think of it before. Thanks guys! Btw I highly recommend this app for security purposes.

Are you rooted? If not get rooted and flash a new rom like CM7/MIUI. If your already rooted you can flash a new rom or use an app like Titanium Backup to hide the apps.

Wipe dalvik cache?
Same was happening to me so I uninstalled it using Rom toolbox and reinstalled from market.
Use titanium to turn it into a user app and uninstall it. Long press on the app from within titanium backup, select covert to user app, then uninstall.

Hi Guys....
I have rooted my GT-19300T Australian version of S3 and want to delete the bloat wares to extend the battery drainages and hope to get more ram memories.
Can anyone guide me as to how to delete the bloat wares and the list of bloat wares that can be safely removed please??
Thanks in advance
use titanium to first freeze the apps, then, if there are no ill effects, remove them.

Hi!
As what i know, to completely uninstall a stock application.. you have to be rooted. I use SystemAppRemover

Have to be rooted to remove system apps. Alternatively may just disable them in settings > application manager without root.

You should be able to remove system apps using titanium backup or Rom toolbox. But as previous poster said its better to freeze them first using either of the above applications.

I use this app to delete the bloatware. It costs $1 well worth it.

I would be surprised if this wasn't already created but has anyone thought of a App that would work with google plays application list to install multiple apps at once? I think this would be Genius especially for those that fresh install a ROM every 3-4 updates. I find myself spending about an hour just installing all of my applications again.
I use titanium backup for that

Does it backup the data to the SD card? Because if you wipe everything on the phone, essentilay the app data from titanium would get removed as well and then your screwed again ahhaa

I prefer ROM Toolbox(i use paid pro version) over Titanium Backup.
Hello xda i have a galaxy note running PA on king kangers kernal and when i want install anything it wont let me select install when the menu pops. This started happening after I flashed cwm and then flashing back to twrp because i didnt like cwm.. at first I thought it was that part of the screen that wasn't responding but it responds fine to any other finger press in the lower right corner... what's wrong?? Thanks in advance for help.

I run into that issue too off and on, I'm curious about the response too. I assume you're referring to side loads, do you get any issues trying to install anything from the market?

Drop the apk in /data/app and reboot.
Drop it there and then install reboot or other way around??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Just paste it in.
May wanna fix permissions in recovery after, but just pasting it there should install it.
So it should be in the app drawer upon booting up.
OK I'll try that

Depending on the app,/apk it may require placing it in system/app folder.

It's your rom ....(which one are you using)?
I've had a few like that ....and you need a different browser.
Download boat browser from the play store....and install it.....or use dolphin browser as well.
Then use TIBU to freeze your default browser then reboot.
You should get downloads after that....if not ....you may need a different build....
If using a touchwiz based rom, this problem will occur on occasion.
Post back up with your results ...g
I'm using latest PA. I'll try what you said and post back..
