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.

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.

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)

Inner memory

I'm new to Android, something I can not figure out.

I have a samsung Gio, android 2,3,3.

When I install applications from the market, for some reason, the internal memory of the phone also goes away. Today I started to shout at all that there is not enough memory. I deleted several progs (which were installed on the card), cleared and internal.

Tell me where to read, or what am I doing wrong?

Any application consists of several parts:

1 The apk file itself. It lies either on the CP (sdcard / .android_secure), or in data / app, data / app-private or system / app if the system application. In any case, deleting the application in the regular way leads to the removal of the apk file. Also on the coded firmware there are still files of the same name, but with a resolution not .apk, but .odex

2 Folder that is created by android and in which application data is stored. Lies in datd / data /<application name from the manifest>. Deleting the application with a regular way to delete this folder. This folder can weigh a lot and always lies in the device's might effects of the device, regardless of where the application itself is installed (the record is a navitel glitch, in which this folder has exhalar 130 (!!!) Megabyte memory, and should maximize 12). It is mainly obeying that when installing the program on the card, internal memory is also unfinished. Conversely, when removing a program installed on the CP, internal memory is released. Deleting this folder leads to a reset of the program settings.

3 File that is created by dalvik machine. lies in data / dalvic-cache / data @ app @<application name from the manifest>@ classes.dex. Also, deleting an application deletes this file. The same is always in the internal memory, regardless of where the application itself is installed.

4 More application data are on a memory card in a folder specially invented by Google (sdcard / Android / data). Not all programs create their own folder here, preferring the internal memory. It is deleted together by the program.

5 Many developers make it so that when a program is installed, another folder or folders are created on the memory card. At this point, who has a fantasy for that much. ATTENTION! These folders are not deleted when the application is deleted. They must be rubbed by hand.

Thank. Roughly clear.

Just looking - everything is put on the map. There is a shaft. But the internal in the LMO just 158 ​​meters. And here again, it says that there are 8 left. And I can not even put anything at all. (By the way, I also tried Navitel).

Probably come here to rant (but did not want) and delete the pre-installed trash.

Bell071
October 11, 02:57

Yes, it does not particularly help (it will help, but not much). There, the internal memory is rigidly divided into partitions (by analogy with C and D discs on Windows), so that system applications (partition / System, system applications are installed there) does not particularly help in the release of memory in the / DATA section (third-party applications are installed in it And the data to all applications) is the only thing that the folder with the data of the system application / DATA / DATA is cleaned, it may freely release spaces. But after removing the pre-installed debt, you can move part of the programs from / Data / App to / System / App, make them so to speak "system". But they will most likely stop working normally with the market. And if still the market will update such an application - then the updated APK will come to / Data / App again, while the old version of the program will remain in the System / App. This by the way is constantly happening with pre-installed applications that are in the market and with the Market itself. Therefore, it makes sense to the systemic translating only rare-competitive applications or after updating manually replacing the old versions to new ones.

LG Optimus NET P690 (firmware V10B_00). Removal of stock programs.

I think the information will be useful to those who decide to facilitate a little stock kit of programs. I'll tell you how I did.
For those who have no rudimentary breezy telephone:
1) Install the driver LG Mobile Driver. Take from here:
LG Optimus Net - Firmware (Post # 8873399)
2) First, we get the superuser rights:
Getting root in one click (Post # 9113353)
3) Then we put Custom Recovery (my first method worked for me):
LG Optimus Net - Firmware
4) Well, here's a way to reflash the phone to its basic state (if suddenly your manipulations caused a crash). Used as a last resort:
LG Optimus Net - Firmware (Post # 9675854)

So make a backup using Custom Recovery (point backup / restore ->backup). Also from the system you can make a backup program Titanium Backup, it is also possible to remove the principle and the program. I deleted the program Root Explorer (you can take it from here):
Questions beginner root user (Post # 5683770)
... and using it from the / system / app folder, cut out unnecessary programs (apk and odex files). It is advisable to copy them to any folder on the SD card, if you suddenly want to return something.

Actually the list of programs that I deleted with a little explanation. After deletion, it is advisable to make a hard reset (you can through CR point wipe data / factory reset).
Browser (replaced by Opera Mobile)
Calculator (replaced the Cube Calculator)
Calendar (calendar)
CalendarProvider (calendar widget?)
DeskClock (clock widget)
Email (mail client, because of him SetupWizard swears)
FBReaderj-1.1.0 (reader, replaced Cool Reader)
Finance (quotes)
Gallery3D (replaced by QuickPic)
GenieWidget (weather and news widget)
Gmail
HelpDesk
LatinIME (standard Android keyboard)
LGAndroid (LG Music Club program)
lgercui (Remote Call support service)
LGWorld
LiveWallpapersPicker
mailAgent
MoviePlayer (can be replaced by an analogue, for example, Real Player)
Music (standard music player, when deleting, Bluetooth does not work!)
Odnoklassniki
Protips (screen help widget)
ru.yandex.searchplugin (Yandex search)
ru.yandex.yandexmaps (Yandex maps)
SmartShare (listen to music on bluetooth?)
SNS (social channel, I don’t know just how to delete an empty widget ...)
SNSync (SNS account synchronization)
Talk (google talk)
Vkontakte (you can put an analog, or an official client)
YouTube (or update after)
PicoTts.apk (This is part of the program for translating text to speech, voice in navigator)
TtsService.apk
Street.apk (street view for Google Maps, you can’t see street photos)
MediaUploader (responsible for uploading images to picassa (or facebook as a rule)
MarketUpdater (have to install fresh market manually)

FmRadio (it is better to cut it separately AFTER, since the system scolds when it is removed)

You can also delete:
Maps (google map with gps, locator, places)
PolarisOfficeViewer (standard explorer in order to climb an SD card on a clean system)
HIME (standard LG keyboard)
SoundRecorder (voice recorder)
GoogleQuickSearchBox (can be deleted, but then the meaning of the search button disappears)
VoiceSearch (Google Voice Search)
VpnServices.apk (VPN for Android. If not needed, you can delete it)

My phone works fine, only after the Hard Reset you need to abandon the phone settings - SetupWizard.apk conflicts with remote Email.

About cyan (CyanogenMod), my fears were confirmed. Personally, when I delete Gallery.apk, the standard video player is also deleted. It makes sense to mark it in the cap, because Gallery.apk can not be safely removed. If suddenly I have such a problem, then let someone deny it.
Another question for FAK (FAQ):
I installed a third-party dialer and with a missed call, 2 notifications appear at once in the notification panel: from the standard and third-party dialers
Solution: make a third-party dialer system (I did it through titanium backup, but I suspect that it is enough just to transfer the apk system folder).

in general, before you put your recommendations in the hat, warn you what it is fraught with, and then the pancake is then soared because of the lack of it ..

That is the phrase
Id_snake @ 05/03/2011, 19:58*
File names do not always match the name of the application. be careful . To find out the "internal" name of the program, you need to go to the folder where it lies, then a short tap on the apk file - click view and see the manifest. .

Not a bit embarrassed and did not make you think? For example, something misunderstood?
And if it had been written there that the remnants of the programs lie in the internal memory of the device, would you have done a complete wipe? There is a very good rule - not sure, do not. The page indicates where the tails may lie. Above it is written, where the stock programs are located, and no one cleans / system / app completely, in order to remove one or two programs.

About fak, by the way. 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

Now the main question. What are the first 3 system processes responsible for and is it possible to kill one of them by removing it from the systems / app? In general, how to free up RAM, without resorting to SWAPO?

the first one of the most voracious is responsible for the launcher and work with contacts
second job with media content - ringtones, photo
third gugloservice job

kill don't kill;)

Please help me, by accident I deleted some kind of an up (LG-P350), now I have a black screen, only the top panel is visible (all the functions are working in it), I can't go out to the menu, just like on the card, of course I can also call. Can I restore my cell phone without reflashing it?


most likely deleted the launcher
As an option, try sending yourself an SMS to a number with a link to a third-party launcher, view the SMS via the statusbar and follow the link to download and install a new launcher

Hello. I would like to know what the Drive & Walk application is responsible for. It does not start for me - it knocks out an error and forcibly closes. I through Titanium Backup deleted it (after making a backup beforehand) and the body immediately went out, but then it turned on safely. Should I restore this application?
Samsung Ace, 2.3.3

ZY Search on the topic did not give anything (

Gor70999, Something is not right you do, if you delete a prog from the system / app, it can not appear after xp, what do you delete?I remembered everything, these programs are embedded in the csc firmware and for this, after xp, they are put back, but there is good news right in the phone root with the explorer to edit several files related to csc and then these hangers do not return, unfortunately I don’t have an Android phone , so I can’t write the exact order of execution, but I gave you the right direction, I used to use this method after updating each firmware, after editing csc hangers, etc. did not return

so after cleaning to do XP or better not?

after you deal with csc, I advise you to manually don’t know which tails to remove from remote progs in the data / data and data / dalvic kesh sections, and if you don’t understand csc then you don’t

I want to share my experience: I saw the "Autostarts" program "DIALER", and in it the "New Outgiong Call" parameter, which was crushed, i.e. Disabled. I thought that it was strange, like a Dialer for a dialer responding, and outgoing disabled. Well, turned back. Then I forgot what I turned on. The next day, such a glitch was observed when set of 7 digit numbers incl. From the book of contacts. To 7 digit numbers added ahead of the 3x digit number 617. For example, you dial 123-456-78. And he dials 617-123-456-78. Number 555 55 5X did not come in any way. Long thought what it was. Then he remembered a day, which seems to be included in the "New Outgiong Call" parameter. I tried to turn it off again. And a miracle, everything fell into place.

In the running services on the Galaxy Ace hang:
- DRM files
- Software Update
- Google Apps
- SNS
What from this can be painlessly taken down?

The list includes applications from both 2.3 and 3 too. Lay out what is not, we will add.

Here is a list of incomprehensible programs that is displayed in Titanium Backup:
- AllShare
- MmsProvision
- OMACP
- Perso
- PopupuiReceiver
- Samsung Installer Utility
- SamsungAppsUNA2
- Self Test Mode
- Social Hub
- Download Manager
- Downloads
- Package Access Wizard
- My downloads
- Software Update
- Street View
- Samsung account

For some reason I can not edit the previous message
SNS hangs in memory (com.sec.android.app.sns)
Software update (DMService com.wssyncmldm)
DRM files (com.sec.android.providers.drm)

Gmail.apk 2.14Mb - YES. It can be deleted if you don’t use Google’s email, but deleting will usually result in a violation of the Talk.apk application. Can be reinstalled from Market
...
Talk.apk 983.17kb YES. Google talk There were some disputes regarding the dependencies of this application. The point was that when Google Talk was removed, Gmail or Market stopped working, many said that it was not. So be careful here.

Who deleted these programs - whether there were any problems? At 2.3.6
VpnServices.apk 11,84kb YES. VPN for Android. If not needed, you can delete.

You can learn more - what is it and for what? But it is not entirely clear whether it is necessary or not.
VoiceSearch.apk2.07Mb

There is no mark, neither YES nor NO. Can you demolish if not needed?
