I know that you need root with adb too (someone correct me if im wrong).
You can disable or "uninstall" them by going to Settings > App > App which you want and click on disable/uninstall. But the apks will still be in phone, so they still use some internal memory.

If you want to completely remove bloatware apps from your device then you have to root your device and then use apps like lucky patcher or titanium backup for removing apps. Disabling the apps will not remove them so they are still consuming storage space. So disabling is not very useful.
Why do you refrain from rooting your device??

this is my first android smartphone, i have just jumped the ship from windows phone. Its too early for me to get into rooting and side loading custom ROMs ( its only been 1 week with the new device), though i know the procedure but i am satisfied with what the device has to offer. the only pain in the arse are the bloatwares which holds nearly 500mb of internal space.
also its sad we cant make sdcard as adoptable storage in j500f , otherwise it would have been awesome.
if you suggest rooting is there an app for j500f to be rooted by one click, chain fire bricked my device as the version was old , for the device. also i did root my device earlier but with twrp and supersu which is just too mcuh of work .
also what apps would be best to uninstall bloat wares completely? also can i get a list of bloatwares present in j500f? i need my android clean and free form samsung products. :fingers-crossed:

I understand since its a new phone you are reluctant to root it. But if you want to root it then you can root it with Systemless root flashable zip with the help of twrp. I know it is a lot of work but at present there is no app which can root MM in one click. So systemless root is the best option. If you want i can give you the link of the latest systemless root which will not at all brick your device as i have tested it myself.
No. of bloatware app depends on the country to which your rom belongs for example Indian rom has more bloatware apps as compared to other countries. Your's is of which country??After knowing this i will be able to make a list.

Stable Systemless root zip link -
https://plus.google.com/+LucaDAlba/posts/a4PyLqWARsv
Just download the zip file and flash it through twrp. After flashing the supersu app will appear in the app drawer. The supersu app should appear in the app drawer, if it does not it means something is wrong but most probably it should not happen if you do all the things correctly. If you have any doubt ask me.

Dear xda community, I'm trying to fix my mother's samsung J500FN (6.0.1) and would be willing to root it in order to gain more internal storage space and/or get rid of the bloatware .... A 64 gb micro sd xc is ready to go! I realize that TWRP and SuperSU are useful tools. Do I have to install both to get started? What else should I have installed beforehand? I'm asking because at the moment there's less than 500 mb available. Which custom rom would you recommend? Do I root first and install the rom later? Is there a step-by-step manual I could follow? A nice and easy, user friendly rom would be great as my mom is 75 but delighted to use social media to keep in touch with her family ...
Any help is greatly appreciated - thank you!

Firstable start downloading odin for your pc. Then flash twrp on your phone with odin.
Flash SuperSU with twrp and i would suggest not flashing custom roms but you can always try Cyanogen Rom.
And with root just install an app which can remove any app and there you go! Hope i helped you xD

[Q] Galaxy S2 Root

Hi all,
New to all this. Have performed a root using the instructions here. Thanks lyriquidperfection
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
Seemed to work ok, just installed first insecure kernal on the list without matching to my kernal, it installed Superuser but not Busybox, so installed that from the market.
The reason I wanted to root it apart from 4.0.4(needs to be rooted?) coming soon was in the hope I could get shot of some of the locked apps Samsung and Google installed on it. Busybox looks to me that you need to know what you are doing to use it. So the question is is there anything simple I can use to get rid of the locked apps that I don't want?

What will i benefit from rooting my xperia mini pro ??

Hello guys,
Can someone tell me the benefits of rooting the phone ??
I know how it is done but cant find a reason for it.
So, stating some reasons would help making up my mind.
Thanks
It allows you to:
1. Gain superuser rights
2.Remove all the bloatware e.g. Xperia hotshots
3. To install cwm through which various mods and roms ( supporting locked bootloader) can be flashed
And many things more:

Link2sd is a big one for me as the memory on a mini is pretty low and you dont have to worry any more with this installed also as above you can get rid of all the bloat.
I also had an overheating problem and a fix was on here very quickly but needed root for it to work (no problems since )
Also if you generally like to play with stuff and try things new root is needed to really get to grips with the help on here.
I got ics from here before it was available for my area also.
Finally its FUN just follow the instructions to the letter and if your not sure dont do it.
with root u can install root xplore n titanium backup lol
the most importan app for android user
root is the same as administrator for windows
bootloader unlocked means u own the device :good:
Rooting ur phone wll give u tp use many apps. Dont hesitate to root

With rooting, you will get access to many useful tools for android otherwise can't be used.
For starter, people above me have mentioned before have mentioned some useful apps that can be used in root-only hh.
Titanium Backup is an indispensable apps for your phone to ensure your apps and crucial data inside it won't gone. It can be used to remove useless bloatware, as well
Personally, i use ProxyDroid to bypass the proxy on my campus. Note that unrooted phone has no way to set global proxy.
Of course, rooting will give you access to abundant Custom Rom in the development forum. What is the benefit, you ask?
First, you don't need to stuck to Sony-made UI if you don't like it. I believe someone will say to just install third party apps to make up for it, but you can't just replace the entire UI with it.
Second, you can control the performance of your phone. It is the so called undervolt and overclock stufs. Playing with this, you can determine how the phone play, the way you like it, whether you make it gaming powerhouse (in the cost of battery and overall hardware) or just make it use lesser battery.
Hope that help

Its a choice. But it's such a weird question i think. Maybe its not the benefit. But by rooting your phone, you can customize your original OS. there are many Phone's OSs (ROMs) developed by our friends. Its customized, there are things thats not include in the ori OS. Or maybe you want an app that's not coming for your phone's version, but available in other phone, you can get that by install it yourself.
BUT becarefull when you decide to try to root your phone. And you must be patient, dont give quickly when you failed
This Was Posted Before ,Use Search Button
Link2sd, market enabler, ads block, v6 supercharger and setcpu.
That is my top 5 of reason to root

2) Adblock.
3) Easier to use screenshot app.

If you update via OTA after rooting, you WILL lose root. You may however root it again (provided rooting methods are available for the newer software version). You may or may not lose your apps (depending on the type of OTA update) after the update. So make sure to do a good backup first!
Flashing a custom ROM will almost always require you to do a full wipe (or format) of your phone, which will remove all your apps as well as personal data (excluding your files). You DON'T NEED to root custom ROMs, they are already rooted.
And yes, you have asked in the right place.
So thank yoi very much for ykir reply and thank you for ur time
I am happy i ask in right place of the forum
MERRY XMASS TO ALL !

[Q] Custom ROM for Gigaset QV830

Hello guys,
Has anyone of you started any work or done any research on this cheap, but good tablet?
I'm willing to create a custom ROM for it, but I'm quite new in ROM making area, although I have experience with Linux, software development, etc.
So first of all I would need to root QV830 somehow, then copy current ROM, as there are none available to download, and then play long time with, say, Android 5.1 version and get it working on QV830, if possible.
This thread could be like knowledge base for this device or something.
Where would you recommend to start looking for rooting solution? I could try to create my own rooting app/procedure since I couldn't find anything for QV830 on this matter.
Thank you!
Hi,
I just bought a second-hand QV830 and I am in the same situation as you, wishing to get a custom ROM at hand.
So I thought about making a custom ROM but this is obviously a huge amount of work, especially if you have no experience in that.
From what I understand, one to compile a kernel with the right config. CM seems to have kernel for every device. I don't know if it's just different config or patched ones. Then integration of CM/android.
As for rooting, I simply used framaroot and choose Boromir, I think. Done ! I didn't even fear to brick it as I guess it just works or not. Am I wrong ?
To get a backup of current ROM, you just need to install a custom recovery like CWM with may be RomManager (?) (You don't even need root)

Thank you, zebul666 I managed to get the tablet rooted with Framaroot and Boromir setting, just as you said, but I'm still struggling to backup the current ROM. ROM Manager reboots into boot menu, but there are no backup options, only reboot device and reset ones.
Flashify app backs up current kernel and current stock (both weights 6.0 MB).
Also tried to copy /system folder with ES File Explorer with root permissions, but it always stops copying on run-as file.
Will keep trying, but if/when I will succeed, I have no clue what I'll be doing next
I understood that if you flash CWM with ROM Manager, this new recovery should enable you to make the nandroid backup. Has it failed for you or you did not do it ? I have not.
Now that you have root, you can already directly tweak the setup without custom ROM. For example, i have removed that annoying loud sound when it boots by renaming /system/media/bootaudio.mp3
If you wan to go the custom ROM way, there is tutoriel in this forum on how to compile a kernel and customizer rom

Yes, I have had xposed on this device and it works well but you have to be cautious as to what you do because if you happen to mess it up, the fact that we haven't figured out how to put CWM on you can't flash the xposed recovery zip. So min short yes but be careful.
