Default [Q] Super Manager help

Need help with super manager, at one time there was a detailed instruction using super manager to remove apps from system and put them in a separate folder on your sd card. I have searched and no luck. Went to super managers website and no instructions on how to create the new folder on your sd card. thanks.

I don't use super manager, but you can create a new folder using the files app and then copy whatever folder you want to the folder you created. Long press the folder in super manager and that should give you a bunch of options

the article had using super manager to remove bloat and then creating another folder on the sd card so if you needed to put it back into the system you could just cut and paste back.

Create a folder in your SD card for these .apk backups. Example: I have a folder in my SD card called "Backups".

What you do now is go to /system/app. You should see all your .apk files there. For anything you want to remove, just check it off and delete it. If you want to back it up, copy it and paste it to your backup folder. When you want that app again, just copy and paste it back into /system/app. Reboot if necessary.

Be sure that you have root function enabled. You do that by hitting Menu > Setup > Enable ROOT function. Obviously, this whole process (except for creating a folder in your SD card) requires root.

Also, going into /system should ask you if you want to go into R/W mode (read/write mode). You need to enable that if you want to delete anything. If it doesn't ask you, you can always hit Menu > Switch System R/W. That should do the trick.

If you actually read through my long post, then here's another solution. Use Titanium Backup and select your apps to backup, remove, and/or restore.

if you flashed a rom with cwm, then your apks are backed up anyway. this backup is in the form to the zip file. open it up, go to system/app and all of it will be there. i usually experiment with adding and removing things and when i find out what works, i make sure the changes are reflected in the zip file. this way, when i flash the rom, everything i did is already there. i do this with tweaks, apps, cwm, etc.

i always encounter problems when i backup things with tb, so if you also experience problems, cwm is an easy alternative, as well as bkoons method above. just wanted to point out you can edit the rom before you even flash it.

my dear friends, I started the removal process with the system apks just to remove some internal memory and install my favourite apks, live kingsoftoffice, instead of quickoffice. everything went fine, apks disappeared from the phone and from ./system/app... BUT the internal memory hasn't in any way been affected... WHY?
