If you have just started to master the Android OS and are already thinking about making your own own changes, for example, make the application systemic on Android, then you have come to the right place.

Now we will figure out how to embed a custom application in Android and make it a system one. But first, let's figure out why you need to embed programs:

• Creation of custom firmware.
• Replacing an external launcher
• Replacing the built-in less functional applications with more advanced ones.
• Free up memory to install other programs

In order to embed the program in Android you will need.

Convert regular applications to system applications with Link2SD utility

This method is very convenient, since it does not require much effort from you, all this is done in a few clicks:

1. Install Link2SD on your smartphone from Google Play.
2. Run the Link2SD program and grant root access.
3. Select the program you want to integrate into the Android system
4. After that, click in the upper right corner on three dots, in the window that opens, click "Convert to system".
5. Next, restart your device.

In order to make sure that the application is integrated into the system, go to settings, open all applications, find the one that you integrated, open and see information about the application. Make sure there is no item next to " Delete", if it does not exist, then your program has become a system program.

The standard way to embed an app in Android

Before embedding an application, you need to know what it consists of:

• An Android application has a file name and extension: For example drWeb.apk where drWeb ​​is the name and apk is the extension.
• Android programs can be easily opened with (WinRAR or 7zip)
• Some applications have "lib" folders (if you are going to open it with an archiver)

This folder may contain subfolders with the name:

• Aremeabi
• Aremeabi-v7a
• Mips64

These folders contain files with the extension " * .SO"

Instructions on how to make an Android application system

There may be slight differences in different versions Android

For Android versions 1.5 - 4.4.4

First, download the file manager Root Browser v Play Market ... Open Root Browser and give it root rights.

Programs that are built into the system are located at " /system/app/application.apk".
Those programs that are installed by the user are located at " /data/app/application.apk".
Copy the app from " / data / app /"and drag it to the directory" / system / app /"however, remember that some applications contain files" * .SO"to be embedded at" / system / lib /".

The second option is to go to the address " / data / data /" "folder_application_name / lib / file.so"and drag the desired file (s) to" / system / lib /"After this procedure, restart your smartphone.

Instructions for Android 5.0 and higher versions

From Android 5.0 Lolipop and above, Google made changes to the installation of applications. If on earlier versions Android Apps Apk were located in the same folder XXX.APP, then starting from version 5.0 each separately installed application installed in its individual folder with the libs it needs " * .SO"if these or they are available in the application.

Now there is no need to build in any longer " * .SO" by the address " / system / lib /"you can just drag and drop the folder with" / data / app / Application_Name" v " / system / app / Application_Name"(System applications are located at" / system / app")

Go to " / data / app". Find the folder with the desired application... Copy the folder with the contents to the system partition " / system / app", then restart your smartphone.

After buying a smartphone, I tested it, installed many different applications. Now I need to clean, can I delete only the applications I have installed, or can you also system ones that were immediately on the smartphone?

1. Systemic google apps, such as Gmail, Google Maps, Google+, Gtalk can be demolished, but it is better to leave the services, since their absence will lead to malfunctions of the Play Market, games and other programs, and frequent errors.

   In addition, you cannot delete Addresses and Navigation if you plan to use Google maps, but you can get rid of Street View, since it is not included in this application.

   To remove system applications, you need superuser rights, that is, the device must first be rooted so that you can make changes to system folders and files.

   Native programs are located in the / system / app folder and are represented by files with apk and odex extensions. If the firmware is deodexed, then there are only apk. To get into the folder, you need to use a third-party file manager, for example, Root Explorer.

   You can uninstall applications manually or through additional programs... In the first case, you need:

   • through Root Explorer go to / system / app;
   • click on the "Rights R / W" button at the top right, remounting the folder for recording;

   

   • put daws on the deleted apk and odex application files that have the same name;
   • select the scissors icon below;

   

   • go to the folder on the USB flash drive;
   • further "Move here".

   You need to use transfers, because files can be returned if necessary.

   To simplify the procedure, you can install Uninstaller pro.

   They use it like this:

   • after the first start, you need to grant him superuser rights;
   • press the back button;
   • find the one you need in the list of programs and click on it;
   • then "Delete" and agree.

   In addition, here you can first make a backup just in case.

   If the standard program has been updated, then first you need to uninstall the update in the standard way:

   • go to "Settings";
   • "Applications";
   • choose the one you need;
   • Remove update.

   After erasing the main files, the residual files are located in the following folders:

   • / system / lib contains the .so libraries you need to work related applications, they do not correspond to the name of the main file and in no case should they be touched, as this can kill the device;
   • / data / dalvik-cache - they must be deleted, for this it is better to do a hard reset.

2. Here apk files that can be removed without consequences:

   • AccuWeatherDaemonService.apk, AccuweatherDaemon.apk - can be deleted, works in the background, you need to update information on the weather widget, takes up memory;
   • DigitalClock.apk, AccuweatherWidget.apk, AccuweatherWidget_Main.apk, AnalogClock.apk, AnalogClockSimple.apk, DeskClock.apk - weather widgets, regular, digital clocks and an alarm clock;
   • audioTuning.apk - decreases the sound volume when listening to music;
   • Browser.apk, SecBrowser.apk, Layarsamsung.apk, Chrome.apk - custom browsers, they can be called differently, before deleting it is better to put another one first;
   • ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk, CalendarProvider.apk, SecCalendarProvider.apk - synchronization of bookmarks of the "native" browser and calendar with a Google account;
   • Dropbox.apk, DropboxOOBE.apk - dropbox;
   • FMRadio.apk - built-in radio;
   • Geniewidget.apk, Days.apk - weather, news and task scheduling widget;
   • GmsCore.apk - Google play services, delete only together with other Google programs and services;
   • GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk - Google search widget;
   • LiveWallpapers.apk, LiveWallpapersPicker.apk, MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk, DeepSea.apk, Aurora.apk - these are live wallpapers, do not affect anything, but will greatly save battery power;
   • MobilePrint.apk - used for printing documents, it is better to remove and replace with a similar one;
   • MyFiles.apk - "native" explorer;
   • PlusOne.apk - Google service;
   • PressReader.apk - for reading news;
   • SnsAccount.apk - synchronization with Twitter and Facebook;
   • Street.apk - street view can be deleted, does not affect the work of Google maps and other services;
   • Calendar.apk, SecCalendar.apk, TouchWizCalculator.apk, TouchWizCalendar.apk - custom calculator and calendars;
   • VideoPlayer.apk, VideoEditor.apk - video editor and built-in player, if there is another one, you can remove it, as you will not be able to view the video;
   • VoiceRecorder.apk - native voice recorder, recording quality is poor, so you can replace it with an alternative one;
   • Kobo.apk, Zinio.apk - online magazines.

Very often manufacturers of Android smartphones equip their firmware big amount Software that users will never need. At the same time, such software takes up a sufficient amount of memory on the internal storage and cannot be moved to the card. Moreover, all these programs "hang" in RAM and "eat up" a significant part of the RAM and performance central processing unit... Today we will talk about how to deal with this and teach you how to remove system applications on Android.

You need to carefully remove unnecessary applications (for example, maps, the launcher itself, music, cloud, Facebook, Google movies, YouTube, etc.). The fact is that some of them are needed for the system to work and if they are removed, its functionality will be disrupted. For example, if we uninstall the standard browser and don't install a third-party browser, then when we try to access the Internet, the OS will give an error.

Not only that, if you delete, for example, the service wireless connections(and this can be done easily), Wi-Fi or Bluetooth will simply stop working and can only be restored with firmware. The list of required components can be continued for a long time.

Therefore, before proceeding with uninstallation, be sure to make sure that the program is not needed for the OS to work and its absence will not harm it. Also pay attention to the tips of the uninstallers themselves.

Ways to remove and disable system software

So, let's go directly to work on standard programs in your phone or tablet. You can do it the most different ways, both with the use of third-party software (in most cases), and regular means... You should be aware that all of these options, except for one (does not remove all programs), require Root rights. You can get them in different ways depending on the firmware (Android 2, 3, 4, 5.1, 6.0, 7, 8) and the smartphone model. The KingRoot program often helps.

Root privileges are administrator privileges in Android that allow you to modify the files of the firmware itself.

Shutdown by standard means

This method is the simplest and works without Root rights. However, it also has disadvantages. The fact is that not all programs can be disabled. Let's take a look at how it works:

1. Pull down the notification bar of your device and go to its settings. This is usually a gear icon.

1. Scroll the contents of the window a little below and find the settings item with the name "Applications".

1. Next, select the application you want to disable.

1. If this program supports shutdown function, you will see the corresponding button. Just click it.

1. Next, in the pop-up menu, select the item marked in the screenshot.

1. Programs disabled in this way are not deleted: they simply stop until you start them yourself.

Attention! If you disable the standard software using the described method, the updates that were installed on it will be automatically deleted.

Uninstall System Applications

Next, we move on to using a third-party software... The first application on our list will be "Uninstall System Applications". You can download it in Play Store what we are actually going to do now.

1. Go to the Android app store and write to search bar the name of the program. As soon as the required result appears in the search results, click on it.

1. Install the program by tapping on the button marked in the screenshot.

1. We allow access to location, work with multimedia, Wi-Fi and other functions.

1. The download of the program we need will begin. Since its size is small, it doesn't take long.

1. So, the download is complete, so let's go directly to working with the application.

1. At the first start, we need to provide the very Root rights that were mentioned in the introductory part of the article. Click the button marked in the screenshot.

1. A list of all applications will open, including system applications. Check the boxes that you want to delete and press the button marked with the number "2".

1. We will be warned that we have highlighted applications that are important for the operation of the system. Think three times if you see such a message. In our case, everything is correct, so click "Yes".

1. The removal process will be completed in a matter of moments.

Ready. The program will disappear from your smartphone at the same moment.

Consider another option, which, if anything, differs from the first, so only appearance... We will also download the program from the Play Market.

1. We begin to write the name of the utility in the search bar of the store from Google and, as soon as our program appears in the search results, we tap on it.

1. Next, press the familiar green button.

1. Allow Easy Uninstaller all required permissions.

1. We are waiting for 5 MB to be downloaded from the network and installed on our Android.

1. We go to the home screen and see a new shortcut in the form of a trash can. This is what we need.

1. In the list of programs available for deletion, mark one or more items and press the button marked with the number "2".

1. Once again we confirm our intentions by clicking on "OK".

That's all. The app or apps will silently disappear so as not to burden our phone anymore.

CCleaner

Here's another interesting option. Surely, few of you knew that the well-known program for cleaning the disk and phone storage is capable of removing pre-installed applications. However, this is the case. We'll show you how it works below.

1. In the same way as in previous cases, we are looking for an application in the Play Market.

1. We install it by pressing the familiar button.

1. We are waiting for the download of all files necessary for CCleaner to work.

1. We start our cleaner. Today it will act as an uninstaller.

1. So, when the program opens, go to its main menu. To do this, press the button with the image of three horizontal stripes (marked in the screenshot below).

1. In the menu that has slid out from the left side, click on the "Application Manager" item.

1. A list of installed and system software will open. To start the removal procedure, click the trash can icon.

1. And again we are warned that if we thoughtlessly "demolish" the standard software, we can easily "kill" our operating system, which, unlike a computer, is not so easy to fix. If you understand this, you can continue. Click the button circled in the picture.

1. We mark the programs or games to be uninstalled and tap on the "Delete" button (marked with the number "2").

After that, the program, game or their combination will be removed from Android.

Through the file manager

This option for removing unnecessary applications from Android differs from the ones given above. Here we will do everything ourselves, while the previously described uninstaller programs worked in automatic mode... So let's get started.

1. We will be using one of the best file managers. This is ES Explorer. Let's download it using Google Play.

1. We press the button with the inscription "Install".

1. We grant the application all types of access that it needs to work properly.

1. The program is being downloaded. Since it "weighs" a little more than 10 MB, it will not take much of your time.

The application is installed and ready to work. Next, we will look at how to remove standard programs... Run the tool.

1. Open the ES File Explorer main menu. We marked it in the picture below.

1. Now we need to allow our file manager work with components operating system... To do this, enable the "Root Explorer" function using the trigger marked in the screenshot.

1. Naturally, in this case, we need to provide the program with Root-rights.

1. When access to the firmware files is allowed, we return to main screen ES Explorer and go to the menu.

1. Next, we need to go to the "Device" directory. This is our file system, and not the file system of the drive, but system disk or firmware.

1. So, to uninstall the same app, you need to erase files from multiple locations. Let's visit the first one first. Go to the "system" directory.

1. Then open the "app" folder.

1. On Android 5 and up, you will see application folders. They contain APK files. In earlier versions of the operating system, they will be located here without directories. One way or another, we need to delete the selected application with or without a folder. To do this, click on the object and hold it until the button marked with the number "2" appears.

We confirm our action by clicking on "OK".

So, we have cleared the first way, we pass to the second.

1. We return to the root directory of the firmware and go to "data".

1. Then we open the directory "app" and "demolish" all traces here unnecessary program.

1. Go to "data" again.

1. Go to the directory marked in the picture below and delete the data of the unnecessary program from here.

That's all. The method is one of the most difficult and dangerous for the OS. We recommend using it only to people who are well versed in the topic.

We are smoothly moving on to another option for removing pre-installed Android applications. This time it will be another utility called Root Uninstaller. Let's consider how to work with it.

1. In the old fashioned way, go to the Play Store and enter the name of the instrument in the search bar. When the desired object appears in the search results, tap on its icon.

1. Click the button marked in the screenshot.

1. We are waiting for the completion of the installation of all the necessary files.

1. Go to the home screen or menu and select the application you just downloaded.

1. As in other cases, we will need to provide access to the operating system files. Otherwise, nothing will come of it.

1. When the program opens, we will see a list of all third-party and standard applications, as well as, if any, games. Tap on the one to be deleted.

1. Will open extra menu, which will have several options.

Designation of the various buttons:

• Freezing. Application or game is blocked: it does not occupy RAM and do not load the processor. However, the disk space is not released and the program is not removed;
• Delete. The application is completely removed from Android;
• Backup. A backup copy is created, which in case of failures will help to correct the situation and restore what you deleted;
• Reset. The software is cleared of all updates and data received during operation.

There is also a number of additional functions not very important to us.

1. As soon as we click the delete button, a warning will follow in which we will need to confirm the action taken. In order to do this, click "OK".

Attention! For data safety and guarantee stable work system, before removing each program, be sure to use the backup toolkit!

From the name of this program, it is clear that it needs superuser permissions to work, although they are required for our entire list. So, let's take a closer look at how to work with Root App Deleter.

1. The first thing we need to do is download the app to our phone. To do this, we will use the Google Play store. Enter the name of the program in the search field and select the desired result from the search results.

1. On the home page of the Root App Deleter, click the familiar button labeled “Install”.

1. The program "weighs" only 700 kilobytes. This is very small, especially when compared to the competition.

1. So, the list of uninstallers has been supplemented with a red icon, click on it.

1. There are several tiles in the main menu of our application. We will work with the uninstaller. Click on the item marked in the screenshot.

1. Next, we will be asked to choose one of the modes for uninstalling programs. This may be a beginner, in which a backup copy of the existing software is automatically created before uninstallation. There is also an expert mode, in which programs are deleted immediately and irrevocably. We choose the algorithm that suits you.

1. As a result, a list of programs available for removal will appear. We will uninstall the most unnecessary of them. At least in our opinion. Click on the name of the application.

1. Since this is a beginner mode, there is no delete button, but there is a shutdown. So we can test the system and, if everything goes well, remove the software completely in expert mode.

1. As in other cases, you cannot do without Ruth-rights. We tap on "Provide".

Ready. The program is disabled and no longer consumes phone resources.

Titanium Backup

The famous backup application is next. Among other things, the tool can remove any software, and if there is SuperUser, even the system one. So let's figure out how to work with it.

1. So, go to Google Play and look for Titanium Backup there. The main thing is to find the Root version. Otherwise, nothing will work. See screenshot attached below.

1. Then, as in other cases, press the button indicated in the screenshot.

1. We are waiting for the end of the download of a small file.

1. And launch our Titanium Backup by tapping on its icon on the home screen.

1. At startup, the program will ask for access to the firmware files - we provide it.

1. And here a small obstacle awaits us. The fact is that for normal operation of Titanium Backup, you need to enable USB debugging in the phone. Do not be alarmed - there is nothing difficult about it. Initially, click "OK".

1. Next, we move on to the settings of our device.

1. Scroll down the list and select the "About phone" item.

1. Next, you need to start quickly tapping on the item "Build number". In our case, there is a non-standard add-on over Android - MIUI, so here we click on its version.

After that, an additional item called "For Developers" will appear in your settings.

We just need to switch the trigger marked in the screenshot to the active position.

Now you can continue with the instructions on how to remove useless system applications from Android via Titanium Backup.

1. Go to the "Backups" tab and click on the program you want to "demolish".

1. Here we see several points for working with software. Below is their designation.

1. After clicking the delete button, we will be warned for the last time that we have not created backup programs and that if we remove the system software, the operating system may crash. Despite everything we press "YES", we advise you to create a backup after all.

Earlier we removed standard applications from the system using the same program. However, now another tool will be used, which is also in the ES Explorer functionality. It works as follows:

1. Launch ES Explorer from the icon on the desktop or in the application menu.

1. On the main screen, tap on the marked icon.

1. Select the application you want to remove.

1. Click the "Uninstall" button.

Root rights in this case not required because the system remembered ES Explorer after the first authorization.

1. The uninstallation will start, which looks exactly like the standard Android uninstall.

That's all - the program or game has been removed.

There is also an option to uninstall built-in applications using a PC using the Debloater program, but this does not always work and is rather complicated. It is better to use one of the methods described above.

Summary and comments

So, now the question of how to uninstall factory applications on Android is fully disclosed for you. We've provided a ton of methods, one of which will definitely work. It is important before any action be sure to perform backup to restore data later if necessary. You can also not delete, but disable the software in order to check the functionality of the system without it.

One way or another, if something does not work out and you still have questions, describe the situation in the comments, and we will certainly try to help.

Video

Also, for greater clarity and completeness of the picture, we suggest watching a training video on this topic.

The user-visible part of Android consists of programs. Interface, function to send files via bluetooth, gallery or system settings- individual applications that form the operating system. At the same time, some applications are useless or not used, therefore, they can be removed. What programs and applications can be removed and not harm the android system, we will tell you in this article.

What are system apps

It is customary to call programs installed by the manufacturer as system or built-in applications for android. mobile device or firmware. Applications are located in the system partition, analogous to the "C" drive in Windows. In this case, the section is not available to the user for viewing or changing without having root right.

Conditional built-in applications for Android are divided into five categories:

1. Systemic- necessary for the operation of the entire Android operating system.
2. Service- provide the operation of SMS, Bluetooth, etc.
3. Service- applications from Google and from the manufacturer of the mobile device (Samsung, Xiaomi, etc.).
4. Custom- social networks, browsers, calculator, etc.
5. Operator's- applications from your mobile operator.

Let's consider each of the named categories of programs built into an android phone or tablet in more detail. Which of these built-in applications can be removed and what are the risks of damaging the device.

System Applications

System applications are used for the normal functioning of the OS. Such programs include " user interface"And" system settings ". Removing system applications on an android leads to a violation of the stability and functioning of the OS.

Utilities

TO utilities includes auxiliary applications required to provide basic functionality: installation / removal of programs, SMS, Bluetooth, etc. Removing applications from such a category does not lead to an OS crash, but restricts access to some functions or modules of the device.

Service Applications

Service applications include manufacturer and Google service applications. Manufacturer's programs provide additional features, exclusive or general. used for normal functioning account, Google store Play and other programs of the search giant. Removing services often affects the limitation of data synchronization and the operation of some applications.

Custom utilities

User utilities provide access to various functions: you are connected to the Internet, access to your account in social network, camera, etc. Removal does not affect the performance of the system, the basic functionality is only partially limited, unless you install an alternative utility - browser, player, etc.

Operator programs

Operator application package is embedded in devices distributed by operators cellular, for example the USA. Such programs are aimed at simplifying the interaction between the user and the operator, but are completely useless in other countries when using a different operator. Removing such applications does not in any way affect the operation of the device and system.

Why uninstall system apps

The more applications the manufacturer builds in, the richer and more functional the system turns out, for example MIUI. At the same time, it is more difficult for the user to navigate the settings or menu, which contains a significant number of programs.

Mobile electronics owners use apps in different ways. Some programs are not used throughout " life cycle»Android smartphone. Therefore, it is better to remove or freeze such programs. Since such applications take up storage space and RAM.

Which applications can be removed

Without impairing the functionality of the smartphone, it is recommended to delete only operator programs... User programs can be uninstalled when there is an alternative such as a music player or browser, third-party calendar, or calculator. Or when the program is not in use, for example, the tablet is used only for games, and you do not plan to send SMS or use the camera.

Care should be taken when removing service applications... Since it is worth deleting one random service, the other related programs will stop working. It is rational to delete it in cases when you do not plan to use Google programs and are ready to use an alternative.

Service and system applications for android better not to delete if you have no idea what the application is responsible for.

List of unnecessary applications

Due to the wide variety of Android smartphones, it is difficult to compile a general list unnecessary applications... Since the names of some services and programs differ within lineup one manufacturer. The number of applications is also different.

Use the program, subject to availability. System applications are displayed in red. Programs installed by the user are marked in white. Yellow and green are not responsible services.

Start not by deleting, but better frozen programs that are in the main menu. Freeze or uninstall applications that you are not using. Previously, in order to restore programs in the event of a malfunction of the system. More about.
