i need to delete some of the preinstalled software on my A7, i know systemapp remover will work but i need the device rooted to delete preinstalled stuff.
how do i root this device?
The device is basically rooted out of the box, I recommend you do some research in the A7 development section

I know the phone comes with two games pre installed, how can I remove them? I've downloaded an uninstaller app from the market, but it won't let me remove them. Help please?

You would have to root your phone. They are pre-installed software much like TMobile app pack, Stocks, etc.
Be cautious of actually removing apps, unless of course you are planning on flashing custom roms.
I used titanium backup to "freeze" apps. It removes them from the application tray, but keeps them installed so you can still receive OTA updates
Hope I helped

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?
Hey fellas I'm new to the android world. Q? I just rooted my phone with the z4root, so how can I install custom roms with out flashing my phone?

You can't.
Simply put, you can't. That is the only way to install a different rom is to flash it to your phone.

You'll get better results in a forum specific to your phone.
Get gang, I apologize if this is mentioned elsewhere but I can't find the search on tapatalk.
Ok, just installed the newest rooted version of the gingerbread update. I also have superbox and root installer installed. I went to delete NOVA and BLOCKBUSTER and NASCAR but I can't they don't show in the uninstall programs. I had removed them previously in Froyo. What gives?
Cyphered out on my EVO while I'm out and about.
Try titanium back up to remove them.

As per title, Can I delete busybox free, quick boot and supersu after rooting?
I have used the video title on youtube: How to Root the Google Nexus 4 - Latest, to root my device, was just wondering if I were able to delete those files after rooting or are they required? (I'll be installing ParanoidAndroid soon).
Thanks.
No they aren't required but what's the purpose of rooting if your gonna delete the app that's essential to being rooted?

Alright thanks.
I was just asking since I can save some space. I don't understand why I would require them still, since I've made a custom backup etc;

If you want to use root apps busy box(usually) needs to be installed and super user is a requirement.

Have you run busybox and then used it's installer?
Your supposed to do that once.
Use root uninstaller to delete any app. Keep su

Hi All,
I'm looking to remove many of the google apps off my rooted nexus 4. I'm currently running stock KitKat 4.4.2 straight from OTA update.
Many apps such as google drive, google+, hangouts, play games etc I won't be using, yet they are taking up space in my phone.
How can I permanently remove these off my phone? Can it be done? through CWR? through ADB?
If this is not possible, do I need to flash an AOSP custom ROM? I've not opted for this route so far as it's a pain to swap over apps and themes onto a new ROM and I want to experiment with eXposed framework too.
Thanks
If you are rooted just use titanium backup or you can just disable them and they'll disappear from the app drawer

I recommend disabling as removing can coz some minor issues if it breaks rom

Why have you posted this twice at the same time? Root and use titanium or a root explorer to remove system apps, make sure you know what you're doing as removing some system apps can break your rom.

simply delete .apk and .odex in /system/app and /system/priv-app

This. Just make sure to backup everything first, as there can be unintended consequences. Most apps are safe to remove though.
