Remove programs on phone...

[tursad05]

I want to remove my fav's and a few other things off the phone that i'll never use. I was able to do this on my blackberry, but can't seem to find a way to do it on here... anyone know?

Couple of ways to do it.

1) Go to Settings > Manage Applications > click on apps you installed and select uninstall. I may not have the EXACT correct path, but I hope you get the idea.
2) Go back to the Market, click on the application you've already installed, and click on Uninstall.

If it's applications that came with the phone, I don't believe you can. At least, not until there's some sync software.

Go to settings then manage apps then they have everything you could uninstall

Some apps are built into the phone before you even purchase it, and I'm pretty sure the only way to remove these is by rooting (unless ADB allows you to remove them sans having a rooted phone). Someone more experienced will have no difficulty helping you with this.

you have to be rooted then either go into terminal or console and type the following:

enter (might need to press this to get the # sign)
cd /system/app (this directs you to to folder)
ls (this will list them out for you)

then find the app you don't want and example being amazon music app in the list it should say something like com.htc.amazonmp3.apk

When you find the ones you want removed you type

rm /system/app/(the name of the file).apk (they have to be done individually)

hope this wasn't too confusing..pm if problems

i think youll need to link to downloading adb.exe, and whatever prerequisites are needed for it. I know my computer never came with any of it, not sure about others

 

[tamara_cyan]

you dont need adb it can all be done through the phone itself with the proper commands

Hi Guys what about Some of applications are built into the phone before you even purchase it can uninstall with some tool or application or the only way to remove these is by rooting.

thanks i've been having the same thoughts/questions as the OP of this thread. i have tried the commands you pointed out via terminal emulator on my rooted g1 but it keeps saying "can not remove, read-only file " in regards to trying to remove the com.amazon.mp3.apk file from my rooted g1. i haven't tried to do this on my mt3g but i'm assuming i'll get the same message. i'm on cyanogen's latest. what else can i do to remove this program because it keeps starting/booting up when my g1 turns on. thanks, ----Ryan

Has anyone figured out how to do this? I have the same problem as the person above.

I get a "read only system" error
