S-0ff M9, took OTA yesterday. Installed TWRP3001, then SuperSU 2.64. Got SuperSU Pro from Play Store. Updated everything.
Everything works fine, Root Explorer and Titanium both get superuser permissions OK.
Deleting bloat apps with Titanium proceeds with no errors or issues.
Upon restart, any programs removed by Titanium return, as if never deleted.
Reset root for Titanium in SuperSU and restarted with no improvement.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried with root explorer, that's my go-to for deleting apps. Check in system/app+priv-app and data/app

I've seen this before when rooting the stock ROM. If I'm remembering correctly, for whatever reason, running the kit-kat sd fix apk (search market) to provide rw access to the sd fixes this. Run this-- then download ES Explorer, check the root access box, then add a random file (can be deleted after) to both the ext and internal sd (it puts you through a protocol that mounts both rw).
The other thing I remember doing is going into the actual apps dialogue and uninstalling "updates" on the bloatware apps (the ones that don't give you the option to simply uninstall), then returning to TiBu and uninstalling the same (underlying) apps from there-- essentially removing the ROM version of the app as well as the "*-1" version of the app.
*I'm fairly sure one of these steps fixes it, but will respond again if anything else hits me
EDIT: Make sure that you tell twrp to modify the system-image too-- should prompt you with a check box (if you haven't done this already)

Strange stuff. Just rooted my R800X via zergRush but when I try to remove stock apps, I keep getting "Uninstall not successful". The root process completed successfully and Superuser and BusyBox were installed. Not sure what I'm missing. Any ideas?

You still can't uninstall system apps from the stock launcher. you have to use apps like Titanium Backup or Root Uninstaller.
when i dump system apps on my evo 4g i use root explorer &
use root explorer-go to system folder then.... Switch root explorer into r/w (read/write) mode button on top right.
Sounds like your in r/o (read only) mode.
To make sure you have root,

(Root check on android market, very useful app)
Try Bloat Freezer from the market. Thats what I'm using.
Edit: its the free one
I have the Bell E973 with root and am trying to remove some of the bloatware that came with it but it will not let me. I've tried deleting them manually, uninstalling with titanium backup and another app called root app delete, but it fails every time. Titanium backup pro tells me the uninstallation worked but the games are still there. if I try to delete them manually in ES File Manager its the same thing it says the files were deleted but when I back out of the system folder then go back to it the games are still there.
I finally managed to get them to uninstall but when I reboot the phone they reinstall
Rather than uninstall them you could just freeze them so that they dont show up. Or you could try Rom Toolbox.. thats what I use and it seems to work fine..
Hello!
I recently get this error probably after I rooted my device, whenever I try to download something from play store. When I click install or click accept (after clicking install) I get this error (10/10 cases). Then I keep getting it on a random basis. I deleted the data and cache (even rebooted between each one), then went to play store. It shows the apps and works for a long period of time (but eventually shows the error). But when I try to download something, I happens again. I checked the Download Manager and it is enabled.
I had backed up the play store using Titanium backup, then wiped its data and then uninstalled it from the system. Don't ask why lol.
But when I tried to restore it, Titanium backup was stuck at its progress. Then I had to place the APK of the backed up play store (the updated version of the play store (5.0.31) not the factory version.) in the /system/apps/ and set the rx- r-- r-- permissions. I checked the Titanium backup backup file and apparently it had some data for the data/data path. So I manually put it there and set the permissions like any other folder that is there. Keep in mind that I tried to reboot in between each attempt.
I used OpenVPN to access it but no luck.
Tried to delete dalvick-cache folder, but that didn't fix it neither.
Booted into safe mode, cause I thought maybe some of the applications are causing this like Xposed, Greenify and SetCPU (which I uninstalled just in case). This again didn't do it.
I rooted the device with Kingo root using a pc.
Android is 4.4.4.
My only guess left is that I should find the factory version of the Google Play that was installed?
As you can see I'm kind of running out of options here.
Could somebody offer an advice besides factory reset and being careful next time??
Hi,
I have used WinDroid Toolkit to unlock, flash TWRP and root the HTC Desire 820u which worked fine. I then installed System App Remover (ROOT) which I have used on all my past phones.
I have removed all Chinese apps including AppMarket & Hidi, but when I restart the phone the apps are all back. I've also tried to remove HTC Blinkfeed as I use Nova so have no use for it and then same thing happens. It appears to be removed, but on restarting the phone, it's back?
Is there anyway I can remove these without them coming back?

how about trying this?: use a root file manager to rename all the unnecessary files (apk & odex) in /system/app and /system/priv-app. and, if the phone reboots and works fine, delete the renamed files altogether.
that's what i've done on my past phones (once i got root access and custom recovery) - with a full nandroid backup and backups of all data and apps+data at hand, of course.
fyi, i used online nandroid backup script, mybackup pro app and es file explorer app for these tasks.
Hello.... I'm using HTC desire 820 device which is unlocked and rooted too. I want to remove preinstalled apps from my device for free up some memories. When I try to uninstall the unwanted apps with the help of ES FILE EXPLORER or TITANIUM BACKUP, I'm getting​ that uninstalled successful. But, they are there again after rebooting the device......
Please suggest me to do uninstall permanently......
..
Yesterday, I installed firmware V20h at my H815. It seems, that LG added some mechanism that makes it impossible to uninstall bloatware and crapware apps permanently despite of correctly installed root rights.
I uninstalled some Google apps like Music, Books... etc. successfully via Titanium Backup, but after having rebooted, they were back again.
Can anybody confirm this? Maybe, there is a solution I have not known about yet... ?

did those apps got updated? maybe you just deleted them from data/apps and not from system folder.
slds,
No, Mate, unfortunately not... I am sure, because after having failed uninstalling I deactivated them. When doing that, anyway, all updates are uninstalled. Afterwards, I retried uninstalling, but after rebooting, they have still appeared as deactivated in App menu... It really seems impossible to permanently delete any preinstalled crap with this new firmware...
Have you ever heard about "DT Ignite"? This is a tool for the carriers / manufacturers to generate revenue of unwanted stuff after deinstallation. I suppose, LG inserted a similar mechanism in this new ROM version or maybe - all the system partition is mounted read-only without Root-Apps like Titanium Backup noticing this.
At first, I supposed /cust folder contents could be the culprit. There is really a folder /cust/H3G_COM/overlay/app containing many .apk files, but the Google apps are not among them. So these contents can not be the culprit or at least not only. Later on, I will make another backup and then delete all the /cust folder contents. Let's see what will happen then.
I finally managed to uninstall all the crapware I wanted to get rid of. With Titanium Backup Pro, it did not work - after reboot, all the crap was back. Then I tried with ES FileExplorer Pro. I gave Root-Explorer r/w rights for all the root file system and then used its System App Uninstall functionality. After another reboot, all the crap has definitely gone!
But I still do not understand at all, why it is such a rocket science to debloat this ROM version! I have NEVER had such problems with things like that! And I have already rooted and debloated many different ROMs for many different devices!
Why do you even bother removing them? They are installed in the system partition so you won't gain any space by removing them. Disabling them is just about the same as removing, they will be virtually ignored by your device (it's the same thing as freezing apps in titanium backup). I see no point in removing those apps manually.
Also, if you are calling this bloat you obviously never used a Samsung device. Plus, I believe that LG is obliged by Google to put those apps in the phone (remember Nokia didn't get Android back them because they wanted to have their maps platform instead of Google maps?).

Delete the folders using Root Backup instead. I've always found Titanium Backup really temperamental with removing apps on the System partition specifically on Marshmallow. Same thing as you, said it uninstalled them but they were still there after a reboot. A swift delete using root browser got rid of them.
These days I don't even bother and just use the debloater tool (3.90).
