I have some bloatware i wanna remove, like 'Lets golf hd, 'fun&downloads' and a couple of more.
But it seems like i Titanium backup cant find the apk's. I run ICS 4.0.4 rooted and unlocked bootloader, and use explorer to system dir, looking through 'system/app' No apk's
But if i look on 'vendor/app' i see the apk's there. So i copied the apk's to 'system/app', but no luck
What is wrong here?

Thanks, helped a little bit. But not totally. Some progs are back after reboot. And if i wanna restore them and place them on SD they stop working.
But Still i wonder what is wrong here? Why is it like this? Some screw up from Android Dev? Or Sony?
And i did search, for 2 whole days before i made this post, google, xda, sony forum.
Still your suggestion did not show up in my searches.
But do u suggest we shall not post if our searches does not reach what other ppl find?
XDA is kinda big, there is a lot answers, ..and questions
So for your information, i will still post questions in the Neo section if i do not find it in the Neo section But i promise i will not post it in the ARC section
And to the case: The thread u suggested worked, to a limit. not 100% for my needs.
But for other with a Neo like me, that wanna go through this, please try the link codephus suggested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26758586#post26758586
Also the App can be found in google play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...leanup.Inteks.org&feature=search_result&hl=en
Sony Neo and ICS 4..4 are easy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26980804&postcount=3
well i was trying to encourage others towards doing a through search before they post
anyway, this might sound stupid and you might tried it before but: have you tried flashing 4.0.4 ftf without the "vendor.sin"?

If you want delete the apk's use then root uninstaller from the playstore, need root acces, delete the apk's and then reboot, works good, even i used it

Remove bloatware
Hi @all!
I'm running Android 4.0.4 rooted on locked bootloader Xperia Neo.
Don't know what's the matter but it seems that bloatware in /system/vendor/app/ (such as 'Fun & Downloads', 'Let's Golf', etc) cannot be deleted.
I tried to remove those packages from SManager, Es Explorer and Root Uninstaller with root permission but they just refuse (it gives an error).
Any idea?? How did you remove them and why I cannot?
Tnx a lot!

So, use Root Explorer and navigate to folder and press Mount R-W button, than you ll be able to delete it.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I mounted the partition with R/W permissions.
So, everybody can remove .apk's from /system/vendor/app/?

Ok guys. It might be just my phone.
I'm root and the partition is mounted with R/W permissions and yet it doesn't permit the files to be deleted. It just says that they cannot be deleted.
I tried with several file managers, such as SManager or ES File Explorer.

It`s very important, that you make a Backup of your System Apps, before you play around with/delete Them. A very easy Way, in my Opinion, is to use the Flashtool. get it here:
http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
CREDITS for this great Flashtool goes to: Bin4ry and Androxyde
Now root your Device by using this Guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10881307&postcount=5
(you`ll find also Guides for:clean SE Junk/ Costumize/ Optimize there)
CREDITS for this guide go to: Crowds
Now you should see this: (see the first attached Pic)
1. get SU rights:
2. press under Advanced -> Backup System Apps
well done! you juste have backuped your System Apps
3.To flash them all again, press APK Installer, select the Source Folder, flash.
if you need only some apk`s, you`ll find them in the Folder: Flashtool-> custom-> apps_saved
this works with deodexed and odexed ROMS !!!
if you Backup your system Apps from a Odexed Rom,
the apk AND the odex file will be saved. (see second attached Pic)
if you don`t know what deodexed/odexed means, here a short explenation from ranjan.alva (Thank him):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21366939&postcount=1
And if the rom is Odexed?
Great tip. I usually use SystemApp Remover or Titanium Backup. Will try this.
@ ChavitoArg
I think, you should backup your System Apps when you are the next Time on Original SE. Then you will have ALL Apk's .

nice! thx for the tip, I hated to use titanium backup, too slow... as a regular rom flasher its useful to know this trick, thx again

You did not understand what i say, you know what is odexed?

I know what odexed means my friend and if i didn`t, we live in a World with Google and Wikipedia . But i have really no experience on this issue. So report us of your knowledge.

If a rom is odexed, like MiniCM. the system apps are EXAMPLEAPP.apk and EXAMPLEAPP.odex , has two files for each app. and the odex file is heavier than the apk, if you delete just the apk you are noth deleting the odex file, and no saving any space. I hope you understand me
get it chavito ...
Edit:
this works also with odexed ROMS !!!
if you Backup your system Apps from a Odexed Rom,
the apk AND the odex file will be saved. (see attached Pic)

Does that mean you don't know where flashtool is actually installed on your system?
If you know in which folder Flashtool is located you should still have a /custom subfolder with an /apps_saved folder in there.
A simple search for custom on your filesystem may already yield the correct folder.

ok, got it! under mac it is saved within the flashtool.app itself- you get access via "show package contents" and eventually you will find a folder according to your build which contains all the .apk etc.

I've attached the two apks which has "samsungapp" in their name I think you require them both for the app to function properly.

copy them to system/app and change the permission like the app that are already in the folder.Sorry, I don't know the exact permissions just check the permission of other apps and select the same for these and reboot your device.
The permissions should be rw-r--r--
i.e.
rw-
r--
r--

Got this back on my phone and purchased Easy Tether. Works like a charm with the P600. Easy Tether is EASY. Turned on BT on both. Fired up the app on the phone and tablet. Choose the connection and it was off and running.
ok so i came across this MIUI explorer which works for all roms.
it requires root permissions
i didnt port it but was ported by apooonet from following forum and dont forget to thank him also.
see screenshots also in this forum.

It's a good alternative to astro and it also has root permission, so u can use as root explorer. Futhermore it's a simple shell that presents the situation on sd card & quick links to videos,music,etc... It's a very good program
At the first screen only photos and music works.
Themes, apk, zip, documents, and others dont work

Just delete the com.htc.weather and the other things for weather that are all about the default "weather" for htc... And I cant find what Can i do... Can u help me ? (Sorry for my English..):good:
Thank u!
In future I highly recommend using Titanium Backup when deleting Android Apps from your phone or tablet because it's free and it gives you the ability to backup the App since once you delete it there is no chance of getting it back unless you can find the APK on the internet and with stock software that's very unlikely you could try contacting the manufacturer for the APK file but it's unlikely they will be able to give it to you so just use other weather software.
Which phone and which ROM do you use?
How did you delete the stuff? Usually these things should be protected.
King combra ics ;p

Delete the useless apps to you from system, everything else is in need.

Well the unwanted apps are called bloatware like Support App and Android Stock Browser. If you want to remove all those apps which came installed in the phone when you bought it and cannot be deleted, you will have to root your phone and then install ES File Explorer or any other app which can uninstall them. Then you would be able to uninstall even those wallpapers which came loaded and even the phone and messaging app.
Use search button for your phone and you will find helpful threads...
