How do I uninstall apps like the moxier apps, or office suite?
Wait for Root and you will be able to uninstall to your hearts desire
Root could be a while or may never happen just remember that aswell.
Aright thanks guys guess I'll just wait then

I installed CM 5.0 and restored my apps using Astro... does this mean that I won't get update notifications anymore through the marketplace? Is there a way to re-add them to the download que on the marketplace somehow?
Thanks!
You WILL still get update notifications. It can take a couple hours for the apps to repopulate in Market, but don't worry about it.

Awesome thanks! Saved me a lot of time.
What can't I uninstall when I root it? I saw that you can't uninstall virtual voicemail cause it is tied into the system, need to know the others.
What major things should I uninstall when I do root it?
I don't any of the bloatware applications at all.
I removed Visual Voicemail and haven't had any problems.

It all comes down to a matter of opinion and need. What do you personally use. Do a search and you'll find that some people have found that the bloatware for some things like the pre-loaded Slacker Radio and Layar may prompt you to pay. So if you want those, remove them and install the normal ones from the market to get the free versions. If you go to the top of the Vibrant General forum there is a Tips & Tricks thread started by s15274n. Search for the word Bloat. He links to a great topic on removing Bloatware where you can find tons of advice and peoples opinions on what they have removed.
When I got my G2, I rooted with Visionary and disabled the packages for all of the preinstalled crap that I didn't want like Facebook and Twitter.
However, since the most recent firmware update, I noticed that Photobucket has managed to crawl out of the grave I dug for it and is now happily running in the background and prompting me to share my photos when all I want to do is share my fist with its face.
Is the only way to crush this thing to downgrade back to Froyo and re-root? I never took the steps to cascade my root into Gingerbread since disabling those packages was the only thing I ever did with root.
As a side note, **** T-Mobile for preloading un-uninstallable stuff on this phone.
I installed a rooted stock gb ROM and then used Titanium Backup to yank the unwanted stuff like Facebook and photobucket.

there is also a great app (requires root) called Root App Remover that will remove any stock app without all of the bloat of Ti Backup
you can uninstall most things with titanium backup, another handy feature is you can detach an app from the
market to stop it getting updates

I am new to Android, still got my iphone 3GS as a backup. One reason for switching was to be able to watch flash video, the problem I have is because apps and services never seem to close, no matter what I try, video too slow to play with everything else running.
Is it possible to stop services on the Galaxy Note so they don't restart automatically, unless I want them to? I have tried several killer apps, but does not really do it. Why is not possible to only run one app and service at a time or why I want?
Help!!!

There are some apps and services which restart upon closing manually. The only way to have them remain closed is by freezing them or uninstalling them. You have to first root your phone and then install Titanium Backup. In there you will have to either uninstall the apps/services or freeze them. It also works on stock apps which came pre-installed on the phone. Just be careful not to uninstall any apps which are part of the O/S.
you need to root your phone, and rum a root level app manager.
This method worked on my Galaxy Note:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830969
once you rooted, install titanium backup. To back up all you apps. If you are willing to pay, this app will let you freeze apps not to run in the background as well.
Or install gemini apps manager, it allows you to change the autostart, block, and uninstall any apps you want.
Just becareful not to block or uninstall importNt system apps.They are addictive because you feel powerful and in control.
Hi Xda !
I will receive my op6t on tuesday.
I already like the phone for his specs, and the os seems to be near to a pure os (light and fast).
The only thing is irritating me is all the apps you can't uninstall as the google suit (duo, chrome, youtube and so on).
What is the best solution to remove or completly disable those apps ? (i mean uninstall or at least disable apps icon/hidde it from the app list)
If root is the only one solution which method is the most simple one ? and the less risky from brick ?
Last one, after doing this am i able to do roms updates from official source without any problem ?
I'm under linux (debian) or can have a mac but no windows
Thanks for your time and answers.
You can simply disable the apps with no problem (no root required), and you will still receive updates.

You can disable but not uninstall without root.

You should be able to disable most apps without any issue. I've disabled Google Play Music, Movies and Gmail without any problems.
I think disabling is not only safer than uninstalling, but easier as as well!
