I'm sorry to tell you this but you will not be able to remove any of those apps because they are baked as part of the ROM unless you flashed another ROM that the chef's cooked here that is the only way to remove them or if you know how to cook a ROM yourself.

This is what I did to remove the apps:
- Start up the application.
- Hopefully you are running and out-of-date version of the app. When they start up they will check for updated software.
- It will prompt you to download and install the updated software. Install the update.
- After installation is complete, close the app.
- Check the Remove Programs panel, it should now display the app(s) you just installed, allowing you to remove them.
Its a bit of work, but this method allowed me to get rid of most of the useless apps on the HD2.

I think you just have to delete the folder for the app to make it disappear. Haven't tried it myself but if you're never going to use it anyway, what's the harm?

Thanks to all...I will will try to run the program and check for updates...i updated my ROM to 2.13 hasnt made a difference tho...I will keep trying!

i deleted
you can delete them i deleted from the file explorer/totalcomander i did and i dont have the apps on my start menu anymore

Did you just delete the links from the "start menu" folder, or did you try removing the program files themselves?

That is the first thing I did when I got my phone... and the first thing I will do after installing the new rom. Plug it into your computer, explore it as you would any other external drive, and delete the entire folders.... there goes the apps you do not want....

It doesn't work with Opera.

I have deleted the B&N eReader, BlockBuster and MobiTV by just deleting the directories they were in. Also went into the Start Menu folder in the Windows folder and deleted their icons there so they don't show up in the Start Menu.
I have been unable to delete the Facebook application because the files are in the Windows directory and are read only.

But this doesn't guarantee you removed unwanted registry entries that can bog down your system.

You can do what Paten suggested and then take the final step of running memmaid, it has the ability to clean out reg entries orphaned by removed programs.

Best Method to Install APK?

hey guys, was googling this question and i came across three ways. I was wondering if the simplest method achieved the same result as the hardest method with no issues. The first method was through android market, second was something about downloading the sdk, than command prompting etc etc, and the last method (which i prefer) was just moving the apk file over and clicking on it (this is the method i prefer).
are there any drawbacks to each one or are they all the same? not sure why theres the command prompt one if you could just move it over and click it...

first of all:
"downloading the sdk, than command prompting etc etc", that is what we call an "adb push" into the phone, now for the drawbacks:
1. through market download and install, you need a steady connection while the apk is downloaded, interrupted connection means failing installs
2. adb push needs a little more knowledge on commands, and if you don't know any, you might just mess up stuff, or even not installing apps when you think you installed it
3. moving apk file is the easiest, but if the SD gets corrputed or a bad transfer, then you will be installing corrupted apps that will not work
well ,thats the drawbacks of the 3

thanks for the reply
for the third one, if the SD gets corrupted than a restore would fix the cd card correct? and if i do somehow install a corrupted app, just uninstalling it would solve it right?
but than, why do all the videos on youtube tell me that i should download appinstaller from the market to install apk files when apk's can be installed just by selecting them?

Droid Exlorer > Batch Install

would it can help?
open2go make it easy to download link on your phone.
1) access open2go.com on your phone and create shortcut on homescreen
2) type open2go.com/APK_URL on addressbar of desktop broswer.
input 4 digits on the phone.
download. install. done.
example:
open2go.com/angrybird_apk/ht tp://download.getjar.com/downloads/web/adp/107604/AngryBirds_1.4.2.apk
(remove space ht^tp )

if the app corruption appears (not the SD card), the app will keep on FC or making your phone look stupid, and yeah uninstalling it may help, but if it fails, you will have to manually remove it, and that I am not sure bout how cause it never happens to me. Next bout the SD corrupt, no, restoring will not help since it is the SD's partition in problem, you will have to do some formatting
using appinstallers have a advantage of keeping record of your activity(depending on the app you use), or even do batch installations, which is faster than average one-by-one installs. Imagine downloading something to your pc via internet, would you use a download manager of some sort, or just use browser's download manager?

The proper way of linking android apps to sdcard

THE PROPER WAY OF LINKING ANDROID APPS TO SDCARD
A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE WITH TIPS
This guide is based on my experience, after trying different tutorial from Google I also experience different kinds of bugs, though all tutorial are good ( I really appreciate their efforts and knowledge ) but there is something lacking, may be adding tips and tricks, and understanding the reader’s ability.

• PC
• MiniTool Partition ( PC App)
• SD Card ( Class 10 )
• SD Card Reader
• Android Phone ( Honor 4C )

STEP 1: WORKING ON PC
I ASSUMED THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE DOWNLOADED MINITOOL PARTITION. BE SURE ALSO TO BACKUP YOUR IMPORTANT FILES, BECAUSE THIS PROCESS WILL FORMAT YOUR SD CARD
Step 1.1. Install MiniTool Partition on your PC
Step 1.2. Insert your SD Card to your Card Reader
Step 1.3. Open MiniTool Partition and locate your SD Card
Step 1.4. Right Click on your SD Card and select “Delete”
Step 1.5. Right Click again on your SD Card and select “Create New” and a dialog will
appear and put the following

asking you for partition style. Select ext4 and don’t tick init.d support.
Step 2.5 Open Link2sd (Just Open It )
Step 2.6 Restart your Phone. Don’t login to Google after restart
STEP 3: WORKING ON APP2SD: ALL IN ONE TOOL
Step 3.1. Open App2SD and select “Link Apps to SD Card”

Oh, great.

Thanks for this awesome post. I was really struggling with the internal storage and now I have lots of storage to install as many app as I need.

Do I have to manually link every app which I'll install later on, after following these steps?

It did work great but I have some insues with games like asphalt 8, I link the app to the sdcard download the external data but after that if I restart the game it will ask me to download the external data again

Thanks for the guide

Thanks again

Or atleast with Apps2sd you don't need to get clean rom for it to work.
It would be also good to notify that auto link might not work if Apps2sd isn't system app.
And is there a reason to download both link2sd and apps2sd or was that a typo?
Otherwise nice guide, you've done good job with it.

[GUIDE] Ad removal - Debloat - Block OTA: easy TWRP install scripts

[SIZE=+3]TWRP scripts: Ad removal - Debloat - Block OTA[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]Amazon Prime Variant and OEM Variant[/SIZE]
Tested on Prime and OEM variants. Please report back if any issues​
[SIZE=+1]This guide only require you to be able to boot TWRP. You can follow this TWRP install guide and perform the installation of these .zip files AFTER step 8) (You must backup your system in case anything goes wrong, you will also need this backup to perform any future OTA, such as the one activating band 12). You can either stop there after installation, or proceed to the following steps if you want to have root access.[/SIZE]​
[SIZE=+1]All .zip have to be installed using the TWRP "Install" function. You will need to download them on your phone or copy them on a SD card. You do not need to install all these packages at once. These scripts do not install or remove anything on /system, they only rename some files. All scripts can be extracted and opening "update-binary" with your favorite text editor will allow you to see exactly what is done (always a good idea if you are concerned with your device security), and customize it if you wish.
This will only rename the stock apps in your /system. If an update was performed, or if you used the app previously, the app and it's files may still be present on your device /data even after running these scripts but you will be able to uninstall them as any other app. This also means that you can rerun these scripts after a future OTA and they will not erase any app you reinstalled yourself on /data.
A "reset all" script is also provided to restore all apps and unblock OTA.
You can individually restore any app by using a file manager with root access (or TWRP built-in one) and rename any "*.apk_" to "*.apk", app will show up again after the next reboot.
[/SIZE]​
[SIZE=+1]Disable ads, block OTA and Amazon PARTIAL debloat "bluR1-AMZ-PARTIALdebloat-blockOTA"[/SIZE]​This package will remove all the ads from your Prime phone and block future OTA. You DO NOT need to reset / wipe your phone after installation.
It will also remove all Amazon apps from your system except for the Amazon Underground app store (recommended).
This option allows automatic background updates from the amazon app store and do not need you allow the installation of packages from unknown sources.
[SIZE=+1]Disable ads, block OTA and Amazon FULL debloat "bluR1-AMZ-FULLdebloat-blockOTA"[/SIZE]​This package will remove all the ads from your Prime phone and block future OTA. You DO NOT need to reset / wipe your phone after installation.
It will also remove all Amazon apps from your system including the Amazon Underground app store.
[SIZE=+1]Google PARTIAL debloat "bluR1-GOOGLE-debloat"[/SIZE]​This package will remove SOME stock Google apps that can be easily downloaded from the google play store and are not required for the system.
This will only remove apps in the /system partition. This means that if you downloaded or reinstalled some of the apps they won't be removed by the script. It also means that if you previously used the phone and some apps were updated they will still be installed in your /data/app, but you will be able to uninstall them manually as any other app.
List of removed apps and their Google Play link for easy reinstall:
Google Search bar on home screen

[SIZE=+1]Mediatek and BLU PARTIAL debloat "bluR1-MTK_BLU-debloat"[/SIZE]​This package will remove SOME stock Mediatek and BLU apps.
Remove useless BLU app and Opera preinstaller.
Remove the ugly File Manager app. Replace it by any other file explorer app is you like.

Problems after Factory Reset
after factory reset got a Error looping, “Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped.”
Method to bypass problem,
1. Boot into TWRP Recovery
2. Mount System ( Mount → check System )
3. Advanced → File Manager
4. Browse to /system/priv-app/Setup-Wizard
5. Delete it
Also, home button and menu button doesn't work
(had to restore from backup)

Or in between the pop up error messages you can go to Settings-> Apps->App Permissions and give Setup Wizard the necessary permissions.

So to clarify I can use the script to also disable ota for a prime that's been converted to OEM? excellent

I am a Prime-Member and would like to buy two NEW BLU R1 HD - 16 GB - Black - Prime Exclusive - with Lockscreen Offers & Ads:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H2E0J5M/ref=twister_B01G7TG6SW?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
However, since I am buying these two cellphones for my sons, and I don't want that they have access to my amazon account details...
So, I would like to know if these phones will come fully registered to my Amazon account, or if it is possible to block or unregister these phones to my Account ?
So, my Amazon Orders, List and Shopping Cart, can not be seen or used by my sons ?
At first and if not totally necessary, I not want to root or modify nothing on this Blue phone... I just would like to totally block in some simple way, my Amazon account that I will use to purchase these phones, possibly because both will come already registered to the same account.

They do not come registered to your account at all. Signing into an amazon account is an option during setup, but not required.

Thanks for letting me know that these BLUE phones, not come pre-registered to an amazon account...
That's just what I wanted to know before ordering my two phones.

This is strange. What phone version do you have? (Prime, normal, Prime converted to normal, etc)
Is the Gallery App gone? If yes try to uninstall the file explorer manually like any other app, else try to run the script again to be sure nothing went wrong.

Found the problem. Please redownload the script from the original post, I updated it and it should now remove properly the file manager.
Thank you for your bug report!

Thanks so much for this.

I will update this post if I run into any problems.
Thanks again!

Any way to make the Camera app launch Google Photos? It now just gives me an error since I removed the Gallery app...

No, use of the default gallery app is hardcoded in the camera app.
You can only launch Google Photos using the shortcut displayed after taking a new picture.
If you use an alternative camera app (I use Open Camera https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera ) these will correctly launch Google Photos or any other default gallery app.

For testing purpose (seems to work ok on my phone) here is an update of the scripts.
These ones will not delete the apps in /system but rename them from *.apk to *.apk_ effectively disabling and hiding them.
Two main advantages:
- Each app can easily be individually disabled/reactivated using TWRP builtin file explorer or any file explorer with root access by renaming them back to *.apk.
- Easily revert to an out of the box state to be able to apply an OTA update by simply using "bluR1-RestoreApps-OTA.zip" script. This will "rebloat" your system. If you installed root etc you still have to take care of this yourself.
