Safely Remove System Applications "Android"

Most owners of Android-devices know that on a smartphone or tablet you can initially find a bunch of unnecessary junk in the form of pre-installed applications. Judging by the reviews, most of them not only do not need an ordinary owner, but also cause quite serious resentment about the fact that such programs are constantly updated without his knowledge and take up space in the internal storage or use RAM. How to remove the system applications "Android", and now it will be shown. And it is not necessary to have root or superuser rights. But first things first.

How important are system applications?

Many people think that all built-in applications of Android-systems are "wired up" into the operating system and are mandatory components for its operation. This is not true.

In addition, any device based on this OS has at its disposal unnecessary services that use Google registration with confirmation via Gmail. The question is: Why register the same Google+ account if the device was originally approved by the standard procedure?

And if you look at services like Google-maps, it's not hard to imagine how much space they occupy in the internal storage. Regarding applications that use geolocation, there are no questions, but most of the uninitiated users do not need it. The removal of 4PDA system applications (a dedicated site dedicated to mobile gadgets) is recommended in several ways, even if there are no root or superuser rights, which is often a sine qua non. Let's consider the most frequent variants.

Deleting system applications "Android" -device: general rules

Immediately we will differentiate the understanding of removing or disabling standard programs with similar actions based on firmware. With the firmware of the system, the situation is much simpler, because in most cases even when installing them requires intervention at the level of the superuser by analogy with Windows-systems where there is a super administrator account. The essence is the same.

Some programs installed on Android-devices allow you to bypass these restrictions, especially with firmware, but a "clean" system can easily resist the making of changes. Hack into the OS to provide the rights of the developer, so to speak, is simple enough. But here to make removal of system applications "Android" correctly it will be problematic.

Using programs like Explorer

An inexperienced user needs to know that logging into the Google Play service with an attempt to delete some application will not give an effect (it will not be displayed there simply). To delete program files manually is also an ungrateful task, since most users do not know where all these objects are located. In addition, many of them may be hidden or contain data in locations other than the directory of the installed program.

In the simplest version, use the Root Explorer or its analogs (Framaroot, Titanium Backup, Root App Remover).

In the "Explorer" you need to find the item of funds and, having entered the root-conductor menu, agree with the representation of the superuser's rights. Then, in a new window, confirm the R / W connection, and then search the app directory located in the System directory.

When the necessary APK format files are found, you need to delete only applications, but not services (think a hundred times before doing this). But this will not be enough. At the same time, delete all objects of the same name with the extension .odex. Only after that the system will be cleaned. Some people think that this method of cleaning deletes registry entries. Let's disagree with this, because in the "Android", built on the basis of Linux-based systems, the registry is not at all.

System App Remover

In the previous case, with the removal of pre-installed applications, you can easily make a mistake. For example, a fairly large number of cases of "demolition" of the Wi-Fi module are known, as a result of which users remained unconnected. To return the initial assembly after this is very difficult (but possible).

Another thing is the official utility System App Remover, which you can download even on Google Play. Requires only the presence of root-rights. But the application filters the system components, giving the user the right to choose, selecting categories like "You can delete", "Better leave", "Delete unsafe". In the simplest case, removal refers to widgets of social networks (Facebook, Twitter) or similar services like YouTube. Harm does not harm the system.

In the second version, the program does not recommend deleting system applications for "Android", since this can concern the list of contacts, calls, messages, etc. Again, without knowing the name of the service, it is not worth doing such things, Can be deleted, after which the making of calls will be unavailable.

Deleting system applications without root rights

Now a few words about the lack of the appropriate access rights to change the configuration. Removal of system applications Lenovo, as well as other manufacturers of mobile devices, you can make and yourself without the use of privileges of this level.

To do this, you need to use the applications SuperOneClick and Deploater in parallel when you connect the device to the computer. Not speaking about principles of work, it is possible to note only that their actions force system to believe that the user has developer rights. During the installation, drivers are first installed, and then the main application is triggered. It operates on the basis of vulnerabilities found in the version of Android 4.0, so the antivirus can perceive the program as a symptom of external unauthorized exposure. Conclusion: the scanner must be turned off in real time. But the program removes all unnecessary selected objects with .apk and .odex extensions automatically.

Is it worth it to do?

Deleting system applications "Android" looks acceptable. But do not forget that some services can be disguised, and their names will not tell the user anything. In particular, this applies to elements whose names begin with the prefix com.android or com.google. This is where you need to be very careful and remove such elements of services only with full understanding of all the consequences.
