Q: If I delete stock browser will it affect the Google search bar and Google now?
Thanks
drool on my chin from a mouth full of jellybeans....
Well actually no, the browser and Google apps are different, and the only way to remove the stock browser is to go to /system then /app and remove the browser from the browser, ie cutting and pasting it.

If you have titanium backup I'd just freeze it.

Actually, he doesn't even need titanium backup. He could just use a file browser (ie. Root Explorer) and change the browser.apk extension from "apk" to "bak". That will accomplish the same thing as freezing it. To bring it back just change the extension from "bak" back to "apk". Then reboot.

Hey N00B, what about just removing from /system/app and moving to ext SD card? I want to clear up space in /system or will renaming .bak successfully do that?
Thanks everybody for ideas, sometimes threads in q&a section can go unanswered for awhile.

It's like your insulting him lol with the noob thing, but then I noticed you're quoting noob in need

If you don't want nor use use the stock browser, then I'd either delete it or move it to your external SD card manually via Root Explorer and keep it backed up there. Freezing an app (manually or with titanium backup) will not clear up any space, just disable the app from loading or being detected. If you do want to use the stock browser, but don't want to waist precious internal SD card space... Well, you could try to move the browser.apk from "system/app" to "data/app", reboot, and then go into your phone's app settings and move it to the SD card. Guess it's worth a try, right?

I tried using the search but it ignores two character words. Anyone have the apk for the IM app in the bionix roms? I installed fusion and would like to have it.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I'm pretty sure it's just the default IM app out of Cyanogen/Vanilla. I'll post it up tomorrow if nobody has already.
Just a suggestion, if you make a Titanium backup of all your apps, it saves the apps that came pre-installed as well.
Just download bionix, unzip it and take it yourself in the system/app folder. Use adb push or root explorer to copy it to your own system/app after making a nandroid backup.

weird, I just did that (because I'm a nice guy, so I figured I'd just do it for whoever would want it) but I couldn't find it... probably just didn't look hard enough...
It's not you... it looks like it was removed from Bionix Final. It used to be in the data/app folder, not system/app, but I don't have 1.9.1 anymore to pull it out.
Sorry.
is this the one?

Thanks, works fine on my Sprint Epic 4G, all I.M clients. Saves me from buying Beejive.
Hello guys! I've been formatting my phone more frequently as of lately as I've been trying roms, and I'd like to know is there a way to backup the icon order or folders or anything like that? It's kind of a pain putting all my icons back in order and such every time! I'm not rooted. Is there a way? Thanks
Some launchers have the ability to save the layout, launcher pro and adw come to mind, doubt the stock one can.

Yes I did read your first post! Indeed you said you are not rooted, But,.... you didn't asked for any way without root did you? You just asked and I provided an answer, one you would of found of you had actually searched?
Just got to be a little clearer to exactly what you need, so Users wishing to help don't waste their time

You have to root if you wanna use Titanium Backup
I think other app or other solution you still need to root cause you have to mass with system app(touchwiz) so you need root.

Why do so many people hate Rom manager? I love it and am just used to it since my cappy. I knkw it doesnt do everything with our SGS2 as it does for my cappy like reboot to recovery for nandroid backups correctly (except for using it for that purpose for cm7 works perfectly). But i like to use it for renaming nandroids and such. Easy to use and has never failed me. Wish it could be updated to fully work correctly at some point. Would be nice to get all our roms available on it/through it. Well to each his/her own i guess. I still use it to download gapps and such as well for cm7.

Lol.. seems like a lot of ppl really hate ROM Manager.
I either use ES File Explorer, or just connect to the pc and do my cleanup as necessary. I also rename the folders, so it's easier to identify which is what. Just remember if you do decide to rename your folders, no spaces , else you'll get md5 issues and wouldn't be able to restore from the backup you made.
A more interesting question is why a thread like this even needs to exist. I wondered the same thing the op did. Then I used root explorer to search and found the folder on my own. Search being the key word.

+1 on using pc moved a bunch of unnamed rom and ics'ed out version1 through 8 backups to a folder on my laptop. Never done anything with them but they're there .
I used root explorer to remove Twitter and friend steam and facebook from system-app but yet they are still in the app drawer and I can sign in as if I've done nothing. If anyone can help I want those things completely removed.

There are 2 twitter apks and 3 friendstream apks that need to be deleted. But again using rom cleaner it wipes those out for me
But default rom cleaner script doesnt remove apps like facebook or twitter or google movies and stuff.
are you referring to use a edited user txt file to remove em .
isnt there any update txt file somewhere which i can use
I flash ROM's all the time and it's a pain to open the zip and remove apps you don't want. Or sometimes you do an update to an existing ROM and just forget.
Here's an app I've been using for a couple of years, very simple and lightweight, will even backup the app before removing. I posted it in the apps section, but here's a link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1939056&highlight=stock+app+removal

Hi
I'm just curious as to what methods people use to clean up their S3s? For example any folders that contain junk?
Also any tips, recommended apps etc?
Thanks in advance.

Here's what I tend to do every now and then (about once a month or so):
Clear call and messaging log, reset voice call duration (I do this at the beginning of each billing cycle).
Delete text message threads
Clear the browser cache and history
Clear cache on downloaded apps (mainly Facebook and Facebook Messenger).
Move pictures/videos from internal memory to external SD card using "My Files"
That's all I feel is really necessary and even then it's more of a "spring cleaning" thing than anything else, just to keep things organized. I don't download and uninstall a whole lot of apps or anything either, everything is pretty much set up the way I want it with the apps that I need.
i just look through a file manager for pointless files and delete them
Leave it as it is. Won't change the performance of your phone.
Thanks guys. Not really looking for performance improvements. Mainly general housekeeping and space saving. Obviously not to much of a problem now but was concerned about long term build up.
