I rooted using the one click and was hoping to freeze some bloatware and unnecessary extras. Casual was nice enough to freeze a few things for me. I also froze the ota apk (sdm01.apk don't recall exactly). Does a list exist what is safe to freeze/remove anywhere? Thanks
Depends on what you are trying to freeze. You can use es file explorer or root explorer to delete them out of the system/app folder. Most custom roms are already debloated. Test out a couple of Roms and find the one you like. As for a list, should be able to just google that.

When i need to freeze an app i usually use titanium backup, it lets you freeze/unfreeze applications.

I have titanium backup and just freezing them using that is good enough for me. I also like the stock rom, no need for custom. I actually found a list in the sticky for the android development how to thread, must have overlooked it before. Thanks though.

Deleting the apk also is a good way to free up system space and make your handset run faster. Also when I say custom ROM, it does not necessarily mean that it does not have the stock features anymore. Just that there are added features that help with functionality and performance.
Hi, i make backups of all versions of some of my purchased apps, but i have this problem.
In my Xperia play (Android 2.3.3) i can just copy the apk from data/app to my SD card
But on my Galaxy S4 running (Android 4.2.2) those purchased apps apk don't appear on data/app (or anywhere on the phone) they seem encripted somewhere.
Is this android version related or depends on the phone brand, is there a way to backup these apks, i don't want to have to keep the xperia play just to make app backups.

If they are purchased from the Google Play Store you should be able to redownload them on your new device if needed, though.

Several ROMs are debloated, for example,
[ROM] Android Revolution HD 4.0 | ICS | High Quality & Performance | Best STOCK ROM
It might be good to peek in the ROM Bible:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423022
And go through the developer's thread to see the list of ROM's and read their first page where the features/unfeatures/undocumented features (bugs) are listed.
Good answer!
You really have to be careful when uninstalling apps.
Best thing to do is to freeze them in titanium backup first. Then if they kill something you can un freeze them.

Thanks pbergonzi and Chevy for your valuable replies
and one more question
Debloated ROM means what kind of ROMs ? What exactly does it mean ?
sorry i am noob
thank you
Debloating means to remove the bloat. Bloat means to puff up, or swell. Some people feel that carriers fill the phones with junk, such as T-mobile apps, that is, bloated. Some developers make ROM's without the junk or bloatware, thus debloated.
The simple act of google finds explanations of bloat, etc. That is a reminder to search. One of the things that separate noobs from non-noobs is the ability to use a search engine.
Thank You
so basically you are saying search before you post, right ?
ok got it !
sorry
thank you friend
Use rom toolbox to get rid of bloat, it has an uninstaller through which you can remove any system applications. Make sure you have root and proper know how which application can be removed without ending up in a boot loop

Hello please can you hellp me I have this tablet for kids and kitkat is on tablet and I want put the new kitkat on.
I was tried root but as soon as the turn it off no longer be rooted!!??
Please help me!!!!
Well I did not think archos did that on other devices after the Gen8 ones but to me it would seem like yours is booting from a squashfs image which means you can't permanently modify the system/root partitions so to actually achieve permanent root I think you might need a kernel that mounts a unionfs partition and uses that to store system modifications.
I can't really give you more help than the information above with the limited information you gave us, perhaps you could list the device's full name, generation (if it has one), device ID, android version, CPU/SOC info, and some pictures of the bootloader/recovery and system structure.

What you should do is search for a custom kernel, that's what, or give more info about the tab (the info I listed in my last post) and I might be able to help.

Yes it does, try this first:
http://www.iroot.com/
and if that does not work try:
https://www.kingoapp.com/
Try both the APK and PC versions and this will install a Chinese root manager and some other Chinese apps, just use root uninstaller after installing SuperSU to remove all the Chinese bloatware.

Well I will guess you already replaced the chinese root manager with SuperSU and also used root uninstaller (from play store) to remove all the chinese apps, if not that's what you should do.
But really I can't answer what you want to do, you can do many things with root (but don't expect any custom ROM's or kernels for that thing as there are no sources, you'll just have to stick with the android version and ROM that is already on it).
Some things you can do though are: remove all the "kids" things from it and put apex or nova launcher on it, install xposed framework, perhaps install the CWM recovery for the version of RK chip in it to make backups before erasing any system files or just use flashfire.

In order to clean our devices, I used SD Maid by @Dark3n in the pro version for many years now.
[APP][1.6+] SD Maid - System cleaning tool
Description: Ive started working on a tool to clean up after apps (inspired by this thread). Nobody is perfect and android neither. Apps you have already deleted sometimes leave data behind. The system constantly creates logs, crash reports...

You don't have to be rooted to use the pro version , being rooted means you can clean the root of your phone with sdmaid , a deeper clean , you can clear system, advertising logs & more, I find it the safest cleaner when rooted, never bricked my device whilst rooted others I have lol
