Bloatware?

[thereallinkieishere]

Okay so recently I have rooted my E4 (Sprint) and can't seem to uninstall system apps. It comes with face book and all that other Sprint bloat. But when i use an app to try to uninstall them, they just stay there. Any help? I'm currently rooted with magisk 13.3 and have xposed installed along with busy box.

install root explorer app and try manually deleting apps (/system/app) (/system/priv-app)
This will work for sure

I've tried using ES file explorer pro and the Facebook or Sprint apps aren't in any of those folders for some reason...

Any way of doing this without a PC? I'm currently away from home and need something mobile

What app are you using to remove the apps? Titanium Backup? I've had TBU not uninstall some apps for whatever reason, but link2sd was able to remove apps. Might want to try it.

I've noticed some of the apps that are carrier installed are in the oem folder, deleted them and problem solved. This was on a metro PCS variant.

This is the oem folder, I used FX file explorer.

I have the Sprint version but when I try to erase any app from those folders the device freezes

 

[KyleBryant]

It was freezing on me when I was using root explorer pro, that's why I ended up switching to FX. Also when you rooted your device did you do a wipe and then flash noverity and then su because if you didn't do the wipe your phone might still be encrypted and it won't allow you to modify system folders.

I can't get it to work with FX either. It just freezes the phone. I don't get why it works for you.

You could try deleting them in the file browser on twrp

 

[amarc78]

That is how I had said I to do it in the thread I started explaining how to do it. This users problem is they can't find the option to mount the OEM folder in twrp to be able to see the contents in the file manager to edit it.

I formatted the system, flashed magisk then noverity

 

[KyleBryant]

In order to make it work for me I had to format data in twrp then reboot twrp and then flash noverity first then your root of choice and then it worked.

 

[thereallinkieishere]

I REALLY don't want to format again only to find out it may not work..

Wait what root options do I have? Does chain fire's root work?
