How To Delete Stock Apps?

[Guest Gabriel94]

So, I have the Huawei Ascend G300 from Vodafone with its stock Vodafone Apps.

I managed to root my device, i found the superuser apk in the default huawei launcher but i cant see it in lightning launcher but thats OK, root is awesome but i still dunno what app to delete

But i dont know what app to delete, i cant see sims3trial or unotrial, texhasholdemtrial, appselect, discover, helplogin, musicshop, myweb, qype, updates, etc

how can i delete android stock apps, is there an easier way?

I will soon add a couple of screenshots of all apps i have

Try some of these as they look a lot easier than what you have. Heaps of options to choose from

I use Link2SD for management [moving/linking/deleting etc] of any type of apps

Tried to delete with Link2SD but said it failed to delete the apps.

With Titanium Backup PRO it says that the apk file couldnt be located and deleted

these vodafone stock apps are located in data/dataapp/...

but idk xD

Hmm, if you just want to remove the apps and a. you know where the apps are and their names b. you have shell access via some terminal emulator with su, you can just delete them or rename them so you can restore it if you break something directly from the commandline. Example:

cd /data/dataapp

mv somehuaweiapp.apk somehuaweiapp.apk.bak

If you're deleting apps in /system/app you'll need to set /system to read-write

mount -o remount,rw /system

If you're not sure what you're doing make sure you do a nandroid backup before fiddling

Okay, thank you, I will try it out and report back if everything went OK.

I did all what you said and then i typed rm /data/dataapp/appselect.apk, its some bloatware from android and i get this error

rm failed for /data/dataapp/appselect.apk, No such file or directory

cd into the directory and try again maybe

Almost none of the apks I've seen is all lower case, appselect.apk would probably be AppSelect.apk. Everything you do is case sensitive.

Well problem solved i installed a custom rom and the bloatware is gone.
