I'm running RR rom and I downloaded the pixel launcher all, then installed as a system app for the weather function to work as well as Google now. Now that nova has integrated the weather I no longer want the pixel launcher but es file explorer will not let me uninstall it. It shows it as 0kb but the file is still there and I want to uninstall it. Any ideas? I've tried a system app remover app as well and still no go.

You should ALWAYS make backups b4 flashing or doing any mods.
Just re flash the RR ROM over your current RR ROM dirty flash.it will replace everything back like it was b4

Can you explain us a little? What do you mean a backup? You mean the rom zipped where you can flash with Recovery? Yes.
Anyone?

Are you referring to making a nandroid backup in recovery, or backing up the home screens and stuff for your rom from the AOKP settings?

Dude, you have to elaborate on what you mean by backup.
Do you mean what CharliesTheMan said? Or what jamesst20 said?

he's most likely looking for the same thing that aokp has in the rom settings... and I do not know the answer to that because I don't do paranoia as it will destroia
but pretty sure he's talking about those special paranoia settings.

There is a pa backup in the settings menu, pa settings, backup and restore. Backs up the pa settings obviously

Sorry.. Got my drink on after I posted this. Yeah, like a complete back up and restore of all my home screens and settings when a flash an update..

I ran a couple aokp ROMs on my Gnex and they have an app that saves everything.. I guess I could use titanium, its been a while since I used it though. I don't think it saves home screens, does it?

Yes. It saves all the paranoid settings for each app. I don't think it backs up home screen layouts though, and it definitely doesn't back up apps or data. Usually I dirty flash updates to Paranoid though, so my home screens and apps aren't touched. I just wipe cache and dalvik, then flash the update and gapps. Then I restore my paranoid settings with the backup that we're talking about.

Make a Nanroid Backup, that will get you backed up everything you need.

Best bet is to install nova launcher or apex launcher, setup your screens how you like them, then back it up in the app. Regardless of what you flash you can restore your layout when you redo the launcher app.

Yes it runs very well. The only time I do a full wipe is when I'm changing ROMs. This strategy has worked well for me so far.

Just did it.. Everything seems to be working OK.. If you do a dirty flash, there really isn't a need to back up anything is there?

Well, like mamba_nz said, a nandroid backup can never hurt. I also use Titanium Backup to back up my apps and data.
But to answer your question, unless something goes wrong, no you shouldn't have a need to back up anything.

What Rom and mods are you using? That looks like what a Samsung UI search looks like.
Did you recently install a Mod?
Stock rom. I just noticed I lost the ability to theme individual icons. Instead of the option to name and change icon, it just picks it up and I have option to delete or show info. Maybe my launcher is gone? I had x posed with g2 settings installed but I uninstalled them. Would an option to select theme just disappear?

A theme option should be here right?

Yes, there should be an option at the top. Something tells me that a theme you tried to install conflicted with the stock rom that might have not been compatible.
If youve added any mods or themes I would freeze or remove them in titanium backup and restart and see if that fixes the issue.
Most of my theme icons came back except the apps icon after few reboots. Does titanium detect and let me remove themes even if my option to theme is gone?

Yes because after you flash the zips in recovery they become apk's

Ok hmm, can you see them in titanium Bu? They should be apk's, if so go on and try uninstalling them. This should fix your problem if its a theme conflicting with your stock image.
I had this issue as well.
I did factory reset and all was better.
It seems that I somehow I installed my home launcher.

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
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I recommend disabling as removing can coz some minor issues if it breaks rom
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
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.

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

I don't know about the app you mentioned, but there were a couple of apps in the N4 Apps & Themes forum which did this - but it seems they work for 4.3 only.
As mentioned, there are apps which work via Exposed framework which will do what you are looking for (though bear in mind Exposed needs the Dalvik not Art, runtime).
Another good option is to try some ROMs - most of the popular ones have extensive UI customisation, such as battery, clock, navigation bar (the one at the bottom).
Download a ROM and its Gapps (eg AICP ROM and its Gapps, which I use and I can recommend, it's a good place to start)
Reboot into recovery.
Backup your current ROM (creates an image you can restore if you don't like the new ROM)
Wipe: data/system/cache/dalvik. NOT internal storage
Install the ROM and its Gapps
Reboot and begin to setup your phone
If you have Titanium Backup Pro or similar, you can restore all your user apps and data to the new ROM. Generally not recommended to restore system apps or data.
It may sound like a lot of effort to get a battery icon, but you also get a better ROM (faster, better battery and highly customisable UI). With the backup you took, if you don't like your new ROM, all you need to do is:
Go into Recovery,
Wipe data/system/dalvik/cache
Restore the backup
Reboot
Hi guys,
Previously I had a oneplus one on cm12 it had auto disable some permissions so whatever apps were installed it will block them however I can't seem to find that on Oxygen OS on oneplus 2.
I will highly appreciate your assistance.

I don't think OOS has this function. You can change app permissions in the settings menu though, but only on a per-app basis.
You need AppOpXposed
Permissions Manager to system level app is only avail on CM based ROM... Or if the dev decide to put it
