Summary

A lot of users are grateful and happy with/for the pre-installed apps that come with smartphones, but there's also a school of Android users that prefer to pick and choose all of their apps and thus find the pre-installed applications to be pesky rather than useful. We tested SystemApp Remover for you, an application that promises to rid you of system apps as well as all other apps. Find out more in today's review. (Please note that root is required in order to de-install system apps.)

Features & Use

Section rating:

As soon as SystemApp Remover starts up it begins loading installed applications. This takes only a few seconds. The version number and change-log of the last update are then displayed, along with the options 'Move Apps' and 'Restore Apps' and whether Busybox is installed and activated. There are also two tabs linking to normal and system apps near the bottom of the display.

According to the developers 'Move Apps' is still in the experimental phase; this transforms normal apps into system apps. The developers also point out that the process has to be repeated in case moved apps are updated on the Market.

The app can also save, deactivate and restore system apps and send log data to the developers for troubleshooting. You can also mark apps as critical (red), potentially critical (yellow) or probably redundant (green) via 'Assist is Off'. This feature may be useful for newbies, but our advice would be not to put too much stock in it as system complications may otherwise arise.

Bottom line:
SystemApp Remover doesn't provide susers with a broad spectrum of useful features, but it certainly does what it's meant to do. Some clever ideas have been realised in the functions, such as transcribing normal apps into the system partition.
 

Screen & Controls

Section rating:

The SystemApp Remover is relatively sleek and pared down. The colour choice for the assistant is well thought out.

Speed & Stability

Section rating:

The speed at which SystemApp Remover loads apps is awesome. We tested the app on a device that has over 330 apps stored on it, and they were loaded within seconds. Creating backups is also taken care of in a jiffy. The app is also very solid and stable.

Price/Performance Ratio

Section rating:

SystemApp Remover can be downloaded for €0,70.

Not worth it Doesn't detects all system application. Support is very bad mailed him logs twice informing about the problem but no response from him.

Does not work! Keeps directing me to the internet to root. Not my idea of a useful app to remove root apps.

WASTED MY 1 dollar...A crapy application I came to know about this application through one of the forums, wherein they recommended this application for rooting the device (ZTE Blade), I was impressed with the reviews and downloaded, however it turned out to be a nightmare and I wasted my $1.00 for getting nothing, Whenever I tried to access the application it always tells me to follow " How to root/Send Log/ Non root, also the option which pops up is regular application and "system application" is always grayed out. I've sent my log couple of times but no response though. If this still works for me, I myself will come and put a good comment about the same. For now it's a "BIG NO"!

Excellent! I really like it!

Good, safe, stable...but. This app is rock solid. I've tried a couple and all but this one have either not shown me all apps, not removed them properly or just crashed. This one hasn't failed me, and I've used it a lot! However, I'd love it if I could batch uninstall with it. That, and the ability to uninstall without going through the different dialogs would make it perfect.

How to set s-off? I'm sure this app works, it would be very nice if the developer would explain(in the help) how to set s-off on htc desire.

This always worked well with my Sony Ericsson X10i but I've upgraded to a Samsung galaxy nexus 3 and this little puppy fc's on every app i uninstall (system or user) still never mind it lists all apps clearly

Great Utility App Definitely deserves 5 stars.

Flawless Best $1 I've spent on an app. Works great, removes any system/regular app with backup capabilities. Two thumbs way up!
Kevin, Mar 9, 2012
Update severely degraded app restore and app in general!!! App restore is slower and causes instability like SD card errors since upgrade! Thunderbolt

One of the best apps I have This allows me to more easily tolerate poorly defined ROM images that include bloatware. I disabled almost 50 bloatware apps on one of my devices using this app. Love it.

Joke Totaly useless waste of time and money
