Well...
Probable a stupid question, can you please tell me what you mean by "then install the rom". DO i have to install the whole stock rom again?
Btw thanks for reply although.

I used titanium backup app to remove them but you need to root your phone first.

remove them from the rom if its a custom rom and install
If stock you will need to root and remove on the phone system /apps
Or use TB to freeze or uninstall .
If you remove an essential app then your phone may not boot .

Probably a dumb newb question but If you do this and the phone won't boot, is it bricked forever or can you get it back somehow?

If you install cwm you can make a back up before you touch anything.
Or you could just install the stock Rom for your phone if you get stuck, but that would mean starting from scratch.
In regards to removing apps there are lists stating what apps are safe to remove.

Thanx for help dude

remove default browser?
I have a Galaxy S3 (stock Ice Cream Sandwich) and chrome installed.
Is it OK to remove the standard web browser in order to force all apps that open URLs to use chrome instead?

You dont need to remove the default browser to do that..just make Chrome your default browser..

if you really don't want to use it, just disable in app info. setting-application-all- find your app then disable.

In order to remove stock apps, you first need to root your phone, then install titanium backup, it gives u the option. To either freeze or delete an app. If u not sure if an app should be deleted u can freeze it first to see what effect this has. The paid version allows u to batch restore. Any updates to your firmware will replace any stock apps u deleted. U can install rom manager to backup your ROM.

Also, I use Moxier to access my office emails. Is there a way to install the updated version from market? I tried it, and it did not let me install it even after rooting.
Lastly I have an icon on the application drawer which reads "org.microemu.android.Micro..." What is this? And How can I get rid of it?

It can't be updated because it's protected. Use Titanium Backup to uninstall Moxier. Then you should be able to get the latest version (which I believe you would have to buy).

It's org.microemu.android.MicroEmulator, which is a part of Opera Mini. It can also be used to run other JavaME apps on Android, but I can't find any list of apps that uses it. Did you delete Opera manually or something? Maybe it left some files behind. You could try installing and uninstalling Opera Mini.

With all the no-flash back BS, you are much better off freezing apps instead of deleting just to be safe...

I believe Moto/AT&T have made it so you cant uninstall their bloatware.
Beamed from WinBorg 4G via XDA Premium
Root and move the app from /data/apps due to permissions the apps will not allow for uninstall without root. It is safer to use titanium backup to freeze the apps because some roms won't update without all apps

[Q] How to uninstall system apps

as we know, x10 2.1 have a powerful tool: Flash tool. It can remove completely system apps. So I have a question here: can we have a tool or a command to remove completely system apps? So that we can install some software like google maps mod ownwhere easily,and remove the apps that we do not use.
Thank you all!
firstly, this is not development.....
secondly, that app has existed since android has existed. It's called root explorer

noob!
Root ex just delete the app, not remove or unistall it completely. You can try with google maps. you use root ex delete the app, then install the google map ownwhere mod, it will say "application not install".
in 2.1 stock room, the Flash tool work very well about this solution. but 2.3.3 not.

if you are installing another mod you have to copy it to system app folder and fix the permissions.....
Obviously since you are posting in the totally wrong section, and have no clue how to use root explorer, I would say you're the noob

Tired of SONY's bloatware

Any solution to this?
I'm going to install custom ROM this weekend anyway. But would like to know the solution to that problem.

Install Root Explorer and delete the apk's from System and you wont't get them back at reboot
PS - save yourself the trouble because weekend is here and you'll be installing a custom ROM

Its really simple man
1. open root explorer( obviously ur phone shud be rooted to use this)
2. then open system folder.
3. then open app folder.
4. then u will see all the apps u get with the phone.
5. delete appxtra(anything u want)
.
If the apps dont delete .
there will be an option on top "R/O'
make it 'R/W'
then start deleting.
Please hit'thanks' if i helped
The WisePilot and the others can be found at "system/etc/product/applications"

AW: Tired of SONY's bloatware
Take a look at link to SD. If you have root on your phone its a fine app.
It lists you all system apps on you phone and offers a uninstall option. Very easy and no browsing with root explorer.

Hey,are you still on stock?
And do you wanna remove bloatwares?
If yes,pm me... I've a tool made up! Maybe you could try! Btw it needs root and cwm
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
i had your problem too on stock. You uninstall them and on reboot they install themselves. I couldnt find a solution for this until I tried system cleanup and sdmaid. I cleanedup everything and they never showed up again. But in my opinion stop using original stock and flash a rom. (you dont have to unlock your bootloader to do that for most roms .)
Hey use neoMaid 1 ...it can be found in themes and apps...it removes and optimizes phone in one flash.....totally trouble free...

Is it possible to delete Google Hangouts from phone?

Is it possible to delete Google Hangouts from my phone completely?
I don't use it, nor will I ever use it, so why does it have to be on my phone? I am so sick of having it pop up in Play Store reminding me to update it, when I don't even use it. I would rather it be deleted from my phone so I will never be prompted to update it again. The saddest part is they must know what a complete dud this app is as they've removed the uninstall tab on the play store page (well for me its removed and I can't uninstall it from the play store) but they sure as hell like to remind me the bloody thing needs updating ...
Could someone please advice the best method to rid my phone of this nuisance.
Thx
You can uninstall it with titanium back up as long as you are rooted but I'd freeze it first to be safe. Don't think you can uninstall it without root
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium
with root you can uninstall it via rootexplorer or search here for aromafile manager,with this you can delete it in recovery,just flash aromafile man zip in cwm and go to system/apps and delete it,exit filemanager and reboot,done.
I've searched for google hangouts via rootexplorer and titanium and its not listed. Is it installed under a different name?
Thx
