Hey!
I have a lot of applications on my phone. I would like to collect all to my memory card in form of .apk-files, so I easily can install the programs I have now after I've flashed with another ROM.
How do I do this?
I have ADB Shell installed, my phone is rooted and so on and so forth.
I would like to avoid making a backup with Astro, since the installation probably won't come out clean (?).
EDIT: Solved it via ADB.
Wrote the following:
adb pull /data/app/ c:\"foldername"\
adb pull /data/app-private/ c:\"foldername"\
And all your installed applications will be copied to the folder you specify, as .apk-files.
After you backed up all your .apk files, did you have to manually re-install all your apps? or did you have a way to batch install them via adb? or is it possible to adb push those files back to /data/app/ and /data/app-private/ ?
Just push them. The directory is /system/sd/app/ if you have a2sd enabled.
Hi. Can someone tell me the easiest way to remove bloatware like soundhound, amazon mp3 etc. My phone is rooted BTW.
Thanks
You'll need the android sdk installed on your computer but then:
adb remount
adb shell
cd system/app
rm whateveryoulike.apk
It goes without saying that a backup is a good idea before you start deleting stuff. Some things you can delete no worries but others may be dependencies etc. But as far as bloatware is concerned you shouldn't have a problem.
Or if you don't have the sdk installed you could install a file manager like astro file manager from the market and browse and delete the apk's directly on your phone. They're in /system/app/ anyway.
For some reason I cannot delete system apps. I know for sure that I am rooted and that the system is mounted. No matter what app I use it doesn't work. System app remover from the Play Store gives me a "failed uninstall" error, deleting the system app folders with root explorer does not work, and Titanium Backup doesn't work. I even tried changing the permissions to rw for each app to no avail. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?

Probably system write protection (see here http://androidforums.com/threads/zte-write-protection-for-zmax-and-other-zte-phones.1040331/)
running this will disable it
adb shell reboot disemmcwp

As the excellent thread by @SirTAVARES has been closed, I thought I'd post up with something I found.
After debloating, I was unable to access external storage in apps or the various file managers. When I tried to access I got the Toast message:
Turn on in Settings > installed apps first
The fix was to reinstall com.android.documentsui using the command:
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.android.documentsui
Cheers

Thanks for sharing.:good:
Many apps listed there, are NOT bloatware.
Everyone should be AWARE and WARNED , because it can cause problems.
For those who are not familiar with ADB/CMD can use this tool: https://github.com/Saki-EU/XiaomiADBFastbootTools/releases/
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
