If you're rooted you can use Titanium Backup to delete pretty much any apk on your phone. I personally recommend the Pro version because you have the ability to freeze apps too. That way you can freeze an app for a day or so to make sure your device runs okay without it and then uninstall it after that with no worries of bricking your phone. As for live wallpapers, those you can delete regardless, as far as I know, none of them are tied to anything important on your phone, i remove them pretty much with the install of every new rom.

Thanks.......

You can just uninstall the live-wallpapers, I meant that using the freeze function on TiBackup was good for when you are wanting to delete an actual app but aren't sure if it's gonna mess up your phone, that way you can freeze it to make sure your phone still works fine and then delete it later. Just make sure it's a live wallpaper you are deleting.

Despite using AntTek app to freeze Samsung Media Hub it still shows up in my app drawer and occasionally runs. How can I get rid of it completely? Everything else froze properly.

Use tb to freeze it or use sdx app remover to uninstall it or root explorer to delete it

Have you tried sdx app remover. I know there are other ways, but to me this is the easiest, and you can restore very easy.

Doesn't seem to make any difference. There's still a service running, sometimes automatically and if I tap a leftover shortcut the thing runs like it's still installed. Media Hub, you useless bastich.

[Q] If I change launchers will Touchwiz still run in the background?

Greetings, sorry for the noob question but my last android phone was a Samsung Moment and that had just the stock launcher. If I download and install a different launcher like say Launcher Pro, will the Touchwiz launcher still run in the background? If so, can I use Titanium backup to freeze Touchwiz or will that cause problems?
Thanks.
Not sure if it will run in the background but I freeze it with titanium and am fine so far. I completely removed it from my sgs4g with no issues.

How to remove bloatware from Galaxy S II?

You need to be rooted. Then download titanium backup, free version will do, and use that to delete bloat. Be careful what you delete though..

^ what he said except I'd go with titanium pro so you can just freeze em oppose to straight deleting them... That way there's no chance on deleting something you actually needed

[Q] Why wont Google Play Store Restore my apps??

Well I was hoping there was a free legal way to get it.... like taking a offer or a survey. Kinda like how akinator lite offer akinator pro to people who like their Facebook page or tell a certain amount of people about the app.... free doesn't always mean steal. Remember that

Did you leave the box checked that said sync with Google (OE something like that on the first boot)
And as far as tb goes give app to zip a try. Its a great app, and there is a free version that will do all you need. And the pro version is less than three dollars

I guess that it only working when an official ROM is installed. I tried more than 4 custom ROMs and all cannot get my apps back

Saving my apps to an sd card works for me. I also tend to modify roms via the android kitchen and while at it, place a few apps I need accessible prior to flashing (root explorer, etc).
Well, I've noticed that they don't restore all the time unless you use the same ROM. But even a stock rim misses the occasional app. Titanium Backup works great for me.

Remove your Google account, and just add it back for auto restore to work again.

Just a kick because if your apps don't start to auto restore and you want them to, simply go to Settings, Remove your Google account, and just add it back. Worked for me.

U just select what u want to delete in the check boxes and then click start and it uninstalls them takes about 30secs tto check em off and a few mins tto run if its alot of apps. I usually debloat one at a time in tibu tho so I can backup the few I may want later before deleting, or sometimes ill just backup all the system apps in batch then do a batch uninstall

Another Option....
Lmao u guys crack me up . I remove some stuff from aosp/cm based roms that I don't use but mostly just stuff that actively runs in the background like tvout or other things that like to autostart. I only do it cuz if i don't use it I don't see a point in wasting ram/CPU and battery on it just chilling in the background for no good reason. But that list is mostly stuff alot of ppl use, or is required for full functionality

You can delete them from the zip with 7zip or a comparable program before installing, but like everyone is saying, there's not much benefit

Wonder when they changed it whenever I removed talk back in the day it would always break my Google accounts. Google must have done some changes in one of the more recent updates to talk which allows the accounts and sync to work without it.

On my evo everytime I would remove it I would get Google account sign in errors and the market would force close. I bet they changed it sometime around when market became play store, or maybe HTC set it up as a dependency in the framework. I don't remember if I ever tried removing it on CM but tried a few times on sense roms only to have to restore a namdroid >_<
