Im sort of an intermediate noob....anyway HTC EVO rooted no prob, wifi tether etc. I just have a question about backing up apps. My understanding is that titanium backup, backs up your USER APPS and only backs up the DATA of SYSTEM APPS. Well I need to know what system apps I can uninstall?? I'm not sure what I'll need and is it possible, if I uninstall something, to reflash the custom froyo rom I'm running as of now??? Thanks guys.
i think what you really want to know is "What apps can i safely remove?"

You can use root explorer to remove system apps. Estrongs File Explorer works as well when you then on the root option.

You can also remove apps with Titanium. Chuck Norris mode FTW!!!
i use titanium to remove any straggler apps from system when playing with roms. I use a script to make them pretty bare bones first but there is often a stragler depending on the rom that i can remove. works great. but as others have said you can also use estrong, root explorer, and adb to do this as well.
Hey guys,
I permarooted my phone yesterday, and got rid of amazon mp3 via titanium back up. There's so much more I want to get rid of, but I don't want to delete something essential to the ROM resulting in force closures forever.
I wouldn't mind so much if I was using some sort of recovery with the complete ROM zip in my SD card.
Back to the point, what can we safely delete?
just back up the apps before you uninstall them, then if you have any issues you can just put it back
I found out the hard way, titanium does not backup system apps.

I thought TB did in fact backup system apps. Maybe when I did it with TB it wasn't really backing them up, but it gave me the option to do it so I did. Figured I would back up the system apps to the ROM in case it was somewhat difficult to un-root if needed.
TB backs up only system data, not the apps themselves.

But it can restore the apps from the backed up data, or am I totally not getting what the batch file for the system app is for?
I deleted everything I didn't want.. No issues

For me, it backed them up and I did see the compressed files. Upon further examination, the compressed files were empty.
What someone else said is true, it does backup the data but it does not backup the app yet it will delete the apps APK files from the /system/app directory. Basically, no way to restore them.
freeze an app first... make sure you get no FC or problems...
then delete it

TB can backup only system app data, that is data from the apps built into the ROM. It does however back up both user apps themselves (elective apps you download) in addition to their data.

I think he just wants to know which apps everyone removed to avoid any issues a head a time.... like a list of what you removed if your not having any issues whats so ever...
I havent got a OTA yet so I cant remove anything either way but if your still waiting to get confirmation on whats def safe to remove Ill let you know when I do it
^^ Great, thanks. There are so many threads and questions about bloatware, methods of removing said bloatware, and which ones are safe to remove.
A running list would be great, and I suggest that additional posts be more specific to assist the more timid amongst us. Thanks.
Could someone be kindly enough to explain what is this permarooted thing for? I did a search and there's guide on how to do permaroot only. and yes I r a nub, my first android. :X
can someone compile a list of safe things to remove?
Please post questions in Q&A section.
I took out a few things yesterday and found out two important things:
1) Even after removing Facebook for Mytouch you cannot add a Facebook sync account using the market Facebook app.
2) Titanium will not restore apps like Peep or Facebook for Mytouch. It lists it as backed up, but there is no option to restore. ('restore all apps and system data' yielded the same results)
There was an alternate FB app out there for a while that fixed the sync issue, but for myself I just reverted to my nandroid backup.
However, aside from the issue above, I experienced no issues on the phone after removing:
Facebook for Mytouch
Peep
News sync
News
Asphalt, RB, etc
I think I removed a few others but don't want to guess at names and spread misinformation.
May I suggest someone compile a list and create a stickie topic for it?

^^ Yeah, well Titanium cannot backup system apps, and therefore, cannot restore them! It only backs up and restores their data.
@Hinouchi
Rooting is the process of, basically, gaining full access to make changes to your phone.
Permarooting is a term used specifically relating to the G2 and Mytouch, which were "designed" to revert changes such as rooting after the phone is rebooted. Permaroot is a process by which you bypass this manufacturer "safety feature" and obtain *perma*nent *root* access.
I suspect you may find a better explanation on Wikipedia, but that's the gist of it.
EDIT: No worries on the content of your question, we're all "n00bs" at something

@floepie
So it would seem! Though I don't recall ever seeing that in what documentation there is for the app.
I'll look again and email the dev if I can't find anything.
There are certainly other ways to backup/restore those apps, but the capability to do so in Ti would be some kind of awesomesauce

Is there any way to uninstall the factory app without perm root
No I don't believe so, but if u do root, you can flash a rom called ice glacier(unthemed) , its basically the stock rom without all the bloatware that you're trying to remove, or you can just root and freeze the apps with titanium backup pro version, freezing doesn't delete the apps it just renders them useless incase. U ever need them just unfreeze that specific app very easy to do.

ive already rooted my phone..
how do i uninstall the factory apps???
Once you have root you can use a Root File Manager from the market to uninstall the apk's or use BloatFreezer. Alternatively you can flash Faux's Orange Glacier rom, which is Stock 2.2.1 with the bloat removed
Root manager cost money.. haha is there a free one? or another methods?
You can flash this, its just the stock rom with root and t-mobile apps taken out

Titanium Backup can uninstall system apps. Honestly, though, uninstalling things can be risky because you don't know for certain what apps your system actually needs in order to function properly. It's much much easier to flash a custom ROM that doesn't have any of that to begin with.

When the SuperUser prompt comes up, is the box for "Remember" checked? If it is, then Titanium Backup should be added to the SuperUser allow list.
I use titanium backup, im temp rooted & have deleted several apps. Works great

i check remember, hit allow, window comes up about 1 second later over and over unless i exit out
how do i delete the tmobile account from accounts and sync? i tried royal glacier iced glacier orange glacier and its STILL there
I've been using uninstaller for root, has removed everything i've tried.
I have android 6.0.1 marshmallow actually and I rooted my phone and my problem is that I can't free system apps I can only delete them completely. I can solve the problem by backing up the system app and then deleting it but want to know why I can't just simply freeze them.
I also tried using many apps to freeze the system apps but none of them works.
Also other functions like disabling receivers of apps don't work. Things like xposed framework and it's modules work without problems but why I can't freeze system apps or change receivers ???

Titanium backup is one of the apps I tried and it also didn't work. When I freeze an app it shows me that it is freezed but when I restart titanium backup the app is normal again. This happens with all apps that can freeze other apps

Yes uninstalling works but freezing not it just makes no sense.
I don't understand it
Hello mates, I am new to XDA and first and foremost I want thank to thank all contributors and developers for providing amazing tricks, tutorials, and features for all device users.
I own an S7 Edge under T-Mobile carrier (SM-G935T) and last time I tried to remove bloatware/system apps using Titanium Backup I believe I deleted necessary system apps that I shouldn't have deleted.
So my question for you guys is:
What app should I use or which app is the BEST out there that will help me disable ALL UNNECESSARY BLOATWARE without messing up the phone? I've heard of System App Remover Pro, Titanium Backup... but I don't know if Titanium itself would do the work. (I believe I could if I could get a list of Bloatware that can be removed with no problem)
Thank you guys, any help will be appreciated.
Just Google what each package does and then use titanium to freeze/uninstall them
If it sounds important then it most likely is

Honestly, I'd stay away from something as invasive as Titanium backup these days. If you do use it use the freeze feature (Only paid version).
They way I did it, I simply went into App Manager and disable natively anything that I could. For system Apps that won't allow me to disable that I know I can safely disable without screwing things up (not very many anymore) I use Package Disabler Pro from the Play Store. You can safely enable and disable system Apps.
Best way to get rid of bloat is install the u firmware.

Don't bother uninstalling system app bloats, just freeze with titanium backup. if you screwed up and froze the wrong file you can always unfreeze. Uninstalling won't get you any extra storage since you can't install user apps in the system partition anyways.

Titanium backup is a nice way to go, but you need root.
I have seen Remove ALL Bloatware from any Android Smartphone without Root
ADB for Windows is a nice way to start.
You can google that as well.
I want to remove the bloat myself, but I am wait for 7 to drop then start cleaning house.
Good luck to ya! :good:

Well yes of course, the OP requested best remover for rooted S7E. If not rooted, the recommendation would have been for EZ Package Disabler or equivalent.
