-All content posts"When will the list for the firmware ***"or"Make upto the masterdevice list *** "will be deleted. Learn how to use the search on the forum in general, and on this topic in particular.
-Before any actions to remove / replace / edit system applications, make a backup of the firmware through the recovery. It is also recommended to freeze applications inВ® Titanium Backupbefore removing them. In case of unsuccessful deletion, restoring the backup is much easier than searching the required files in the forum. Neither the author nor anyone else is responsible for your device.

For those who plan to create a list of remote applications please kindly follow a number of requirements presented under the spoiler below:
Application List Builder Requirements
  1. Sure to specify the model of the device on which the removal of applications was performed with indication of the OS version. If it is set by custom, then specify its name.
  2. Sure to publish only personally verified information.
  3. Sure to make a list with a description of applications. "Blind" lists without a description of the applications will be deleted, because each user decides which application he does not need, and without a description it cannot be done.
  4. Desirable indicate the criteria for cleaning the system (do you use gugloapps or some other embedded software)

Compliance with these rules will simplify the process of systematization of information and its search in this topic.

FAQ-Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: Where are the stock programs and how to remove them?
A: Stock (standard or factory) programs are in/ system / app .
You can open this directory with the help of RootExplorer, FileExplorer and others like it, as well as Titanium Backup if you have rightsROOT and mount in r / w. The order and names may vary (in Titanium Backup, instead of .apk files, program names are displayed). Remember that it is not necessary to immediately delete the application, you can rename or freeze it using the program Titanium backup . In this case, the phone does not recognize the renamed file as an application, and you can recover / unfreeze it if necessary.

A: Each user must decide for himself what system applications he does not need, then it’s necessary to see if there can be consequences from the removal of applications that you don’t need,(consequences)No, you can safely delete these applications.

3. Q: Where are the files from remote applications still left and should they be deleted?
A: Parts of programs can remain in data / data, data / dalvik-cache, (system / lib - it is advisable not to touch, because there are dependencies).

В® Titanium Backup- a program for backing up applications and their data, both system and user, allows you to delete system applications, convert third-party applications into system ones. There is a very interesting feature - application freezing. It is very convenient to use when testing, I need to determine the behavior of the system without any application, I just freeze it, I spend testing and when I detect glitches, the application can be thawed without loss of efficiency. Alsoin the PRO versionThere is a dalvik-cache cleanup function.
Universal androot- getting root rights.

Useful tips:
In principle, the titanium copes well with the deletion of system prog, it has been checked specifically, but for proper removal it needs to be done two movements, the first, it is clear to click to remove the system prog unnecessary to you, while the system program from the System / App and Data directory is deleted. Data and the second latter On the Options menu you need to press Dalvik Casha cleaning, if the second does not make Dalvik cache stays in the Data / Dalvik Cashe directory, and it will always hang out there, (unless of course you do not do, when it is clear, it is clear Such difficulties), so as a result, two actions and the system is cleaned by the tails will not remain. (dred78)

There is another way to "correct" removal of programs. Sometimes you just need to transfer applications from / System / App to / Data / App, check the permissions, restart the machine and delete as a simple application. Not with all programs rolls, it is not sure that this method is generally possible on the firmware appealed. But nevertheless, where this procedure succeeded - all the tails are drunk. Further, after removing system programs, the method from the caps do not be lazy to go into the recovery or its analogue and produce wipe caches (but not wipe data / full reset!). And the last, concerning customs in .zip format the best way to delete programs - do not put them). Delete programs in the firmware distribution directly from the archive zip. But here is the nuance: you need to turn off the signature check during the firmware of the device. Otherwise it will not work. (Bell071)

Comrades Question Standard - What I did not delete to get rid of the Android calendar? Calendar himself, the calendar, the memory of the calendar - the snow, synchropasenitronization with Google too. Now it became to get out the inscription - an error occurred in the "Memory Calendar" application. 3-5 times. And more - an error occurred in the "Calendar" application. 1 time jumped out. Prevents tin like. I understand that the calendar roots remained, helping to pull out to the end. Or (damn with him) Return the calendar.

It will not work out until the end, since there are many programs on it, and if the backup did not do it only through the firmware, I do not understand what he interfered with you

I tried to sew once again. The process seemed to have passed, but nothing has changed. The first time the entire system was reinstalled. Apparently I forgot to do something. I stitched under the supervision of one of the members of the forum)



Rep: (33)
* Vitarlaeda to restore, you need to flash only systems from your firmware,
Firmware costs custom or drain?

.. The Calendar Snows itself, the memory of the calendar - Snains, synchrophazatenization with Google too.

Try to make Vipe Cash and Dalvik Cash in the recovery, if I did not help then Wipe Date. Just the roots you deleted, "tails" remained. To delete system applications, try using special SD MAID Soft Software. After their work, only bodies will be left to reboot and all the applications as unprecedented. :)
