Titanium 'freeze' vs 'pm disable...' command - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does "freeze" via Titanium do basically the same thing as the method using the "pm disable..." command, or are there notable pros and cons to each method? Does Titanium "freeze" persist if done in temproot after a slow reboot?

Freeze is the same thing as pm disable. No difference either way aside from titanium being much easier.

How do you remove apps using ADB?

I can't seem to figure out how to remove stock apps using adb? Can anyone list the commands needed to do this?
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/YourApplicationHere.apk

Does this completely remove the app? I mean in particular the listing in the app drawer, as well as in the "Manage Apps" section (if applicable). Also where will app data be stored, if used?
Thanks
yes, completely.
use "adb shell ls -1 /system/app/" to find out the exact name of the app you want to delete, it's caps sensitive.
you can try these 2 programs to remove apps
you should try using android commander or droid explorer. search for them in the forums. they are free and help out a lot.
+ For Droid Explorer: http://de.codeplex.com/ I use this and it is pretty handy. Though you can just be lazy like I usually am and just uninstall apps via Titanium Backup. I haven't tried Android Commander (yet, but maybe I should...) but in interest of being fair, you can find it here: http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-and-Shell/Windows/Android-Commander-93099.shtml and the official site is here, but didn't find it very well laid out (no offense PanPiotr...): http://androidcommander.com/
One other thing if you want to backup the app to your sd use cp /system/apps/appnname /sdcard/backup/appname

Sorry to ask such a noob question, but I just ran Unrevoked 3 and unrevoked forever. Everything seemed to work correctly, but when I try and run androind commander to delete files it says I need root permissions. I saw the superuser permissions icon in my app list, but when I click it nothing happens. Did I miss something?

do you use other apps (setcpu, etc) that require Superuser permissions? any issues with those? if you do have other apps that have SU permissions, then uninstall/reinstall Android Commander... it should then request permission again.
if neither situation applies... use the directions above to remove the Superuser.apk file from /system/app and then go to this thread and download the new Superuser app

Remove app with adb.exe in a windows command prompt, or use Titanium Backup (backup software to be installed in your phone, makes backups to sdcard) to remove apps. (never tried it, as a unix/linux/OS X man i like the command prompt)
Superuser gives you the chance to allow/deny apps to have he superuser permissions.
Busybox gives the commands you need, like su, ls, mkdir, pwd, mv, cp, dmesg etc. that you need in the terminal window to do your magic. Unix commands that is. (more or less)
If you want to know what your phone is doing at start up, install Better Terminal and issue the command dmesg (means something like display message.log).
In Titanium Back Up, long press on the application you want to uninstall, it'll open a window or whatever you call it. Here's the "unistall" option

Has anyone managed to rmeove Moxier apps from x10??

Had a look around all dead threads, i use another exchange app if anyone knows how to remove this let me know! phone is rooted
Several methods for removal, titanium backup is probably the easiest.

yeah..
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
adb shell rm /system/app/mox*
I found an app called APK Upload for root, it lets you backup your apks to an ftp server, but long-pressing on an app lets you uninstall it, i did it with moxier too.

Just use Titanium Backup, do not even read other solutions.

X10Root has the option to remove without deleting so you can restore it if you want.
Ciao Angelo
Does titanium propperly remove the app? free up space etc or just disable it
Once you are rooted, and have TB installed you can delete anything......

Accidently Deleted Contacts app, PLEASE HELP!

Hello Everyone,
So today I have flashed stock rom on my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge (SM-G925T) for some reason. Installed twrp recovery and then rooted using cf-auto-root method and then i started to uninstall all useless apps using titanium backup.
But accidently i checked the samsung contacts app and now it's gone. I tried to reinstall it again (I have backed up all apps+data before uninstall using titanium bakcup) but it takes forever in titanium backup and nothing happens. I tried to install it using apk method but then it says \"The package conflicts with an existing package by the same name". I don't know why but if the app is uninstalled then why is there a conflicting package.
Anyway, I've found a method in one of XDA forums to install the app using adb recovery method through windows PC (booted into TWRP first).
Code:
adb remount
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Contacts.apk
adb reboot[/HIDE]
It installs the app but not opens it. Every time when i tried to open, it just flashes for a moment and closes itself.
I'm so tired of this problem so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.:
Why don't you just use third party contacts app such as Google Contacts?
........one moment.....
enjoy
