Hello Folks!


After Rooting my HTC One M8 with Android 6 Marshmallow i want to Delete the Bloatware with Titanium Backup. The "Uninstall" Button doesnt Work, i can delete the Bloatware Apps but when i Restart the Phone the Bloatware Apps are back :(

But TB have a Delete Force Option (over Security Hole in the System) but can anyone tell me which Bloatware Apps can be Deleted without the Risk of a Brick or unstable System?
And are the Bloatware Apps and all there files complete Deleted after this wipe?


I want to Uninstall the following Bloatware Apps:

Stocks, Facebook, Skype, Twitter, Fun Fit, Google News & Weather, Google News, Peel Remote, News Republic, Zoe Video Editor, Kid Mode


Hope someone can Help me.
Thanks! :)

Use a root explorer like Solid Explorer. Just search in Play Store. Navigate to /system/app and /system/priv-app to delete your bloat-apps.

Alternative you can use your recovery to delete bloatware. Recommend is TWRP

You can safely remove all the apps you listed in your post. There is no risk.

Hope this helps you

This is due to secure kernel on the M8. You can either search for, and install insecure kernel mod, or flash a custom kernel. Or use one of the methods mentioned in the previous response (TWRP, some other root apps).

If you have any doubts/uncertainly about deleting the bloat apps; you can test by freezing the app(s) in Titanium. Then use the phone for a while with the app(s) frozen). If no ill effects are observed, it is probably safe to delete the bloat app(s).
