If i want to remove an app that lives in /system/app/
Can i just delete it like this?
Code:
su
rm /system/app/Facebook.apk
Or would that leave something behind and not completely remove the app?
I tried removing it through the Manage Applications screen, but uninstall is just greyed out. I'm guessing that is because of it's install path.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
SystemApp Remover did the trick, but then i couldn't get the new FB version from the market lol.
Found the apk for version 1.4 on the net though. At least its more up to date than the build i had stuck in the system folder.

After using SystemApp Remover to uninstall FBReader reboot your device. After reboot you can install the latest version from the market. I have 0.99.13 installed using this method. I would go nuts without the latest version of FBReader and that was the first thing to get installed after upgrading to Dexter's 1.3 Roman

Ill keep that in mind, but the FB I was talking about was the facebook app lol
Not sure if this is of interest to anyone but I managed to get Sky go working by side loading the apk and making one change to the build.prop.
change the following in build.prop
ro.product.model=SGP312
to
ro.product.model=C6603
You will also need to temporarily unroot device while using Sky go (You can remove and restore root without restarting tablet).
I used hide my root to hide the su binary and then uninstalled superuser.

Any chance of uploading an APK for those of us not so good at tweaking buildprops?
No idea how to make an apk I'm afraid but I could upload an update zip if you're running a recovery?

Cheers dude! Going to try tomorrow. Only issue is the damned account being locked to 2 devices now. I miss when it was 4 for free!
Wait a sec...what are the 2 zips for?
The sky go zip replaces the build.prop with a sky friendly version, the other zip puts the original build.prop back in place. You'll need a recovery to use the zips.
Btw the build.props the zips are based on are from a SGP312

Okay so recently I have rooted my E4 (Sprint) and can't seem to uninstall system apps. It comes with face book and all that other Sprint bloat. But when i use an app to try to uninstall them, they just stay there. Any help? I'm currently rooted with magisk 13.3 and have xposed installed along with busy box.
install root explorer app and try manually deleting apps (/system/app) (/system/priv-app)
This will work for sure

What app are you using to remove the apps? Titanium Backup? I've had TBU not uninstall some apps for whatever reason, but link2sd was able to remove apps. Might want to try it.
I've noticed some of the apps that are carrier installed are in the oem folder, deleted them and problem solved. This was on a metro PCS variant.
This is the oem folder, I used FX file explorer.

I have the Sprint version but when I try to erase any app from those folders the device freezes
It was freezing on me when I was using root explorer pro, that's why I ended up switching to FX. Also when you rooted your device did you do a wipe and then flash noverity and then su because if you didn't do the wipe your phone might still be encrypted and it won't allow you to modify system folders.

I can't get it to work with FX either. It just freezes the phone. I don't get why it works for you.

You could try deleting them in the file browser on twrp
That is how I had said I to do it in the thread I started explaining how to do it. This users problem is they can't find the option to mount the OEM folder in twrp to be able to see the contents in the file manager to edit it.

I formatted the system, flashed magisk then noverity
In order to make it work for me I had to format data in twrp then reboot twrp and then flash noverity first then your root of choice and then it worked.
I REALLY don't want to format again only to find out it may not work..

Hi,
I'm trying to flash a custom zip file from TWRP without success. I want to delete some apps but, after a reboot, I find these apps up and running.
Could be the problem related to A/B seamless system? If yes, where can I find a flashable file working which is good for my purposes with a minimum modification?
Thank you.

I can't help you with installing Apps in System. But I got a Debloater Script. Thing is it's a bit ..... Extreme. It will remove 95% of all Apps on your system. i.e. after a clean flash, when you flash the script it will remove 95% of the Apps.

Have you tried adaway? Only issue ive had is Google adverts on shopping listings.
Good idea though, but you'd need to update constantly.
Adaway is way more practical.
You need to use magisk, either a module or adaway with systemless hosts enabled in magisk manager.
^this!

I've tried version 4.03 all the way to newer version. The newer version doesn't work because I get not enough space which IS wrong because I would even delete apps from /system and /product to ALLOW more space just in case

Your don't have enough space because you're not using systemless mate, no other reason.
I'm currently on 4.38
Everybody using xXx using using it, everybody who's rooted is probably using it

Ahhh buddy, this is why you explain what operating system you're on, what firmware when asking about a problem, especially when it seems odd to others.
This question should be asked in the RR thread, as it's not relevant anywhere else.
I've never used RR but anything I suggest is going to be futile because of the fact that you're running RR.
For example, Titanium does not work for me on Carbon, simply would not see root so I couldn't restore a thing.
The advice I've provided in regards to what needs to be done in magisk to get adaway working is accurate..
For RR id have thought that it would be the same, now I don't think that's the case.
See what they say in the RR thread mate.

You can't delete them, it's impossible. All devices launched with Android 10 and dynamic partitions have read only system, vendor, product etc and zero free space is by design. That's why magisk is the only option.
Tell your custom rom dev to reserve free space and allow R/W for system when compiling the ROM, that's the only way to directly modify the system.
Systemless hosts does work on custom ROMs, I have tried it myself. After enabling systemless hosts, reboot, then open adaway and try again.

Not really. No one paid attention to the title. Update the flashable zip so we can just flash a hosts file of our choice and no apps needed

Yes, and it's called Energized Protection or whatever adblock module in manager. Take the source (as reference), edit hosts and zip it up.
It's pointless to update the zip because whatever installation method it has won't work, only a module will work which is basically creating a whole new zip.

My point was, that the hosts change, it will need to continually need to be updated.

Either way I can't help with this.
So, not possible to flash a hosts file to /system_root/system/etc/ ? It seems that everytime I flash the file it get overwritten at boot.

It doesn't get overwritten because it doesn't modify anything in the first place. It's not possible to modify the system on stock software. Either magisk or VPN based adblocker like Blokada is your option.
