I am a total NOOB. I tried the "search" and the "wiki", but found nothing. I was trying different themes this morning, when I noticed that Power Manager and Linda File Manger were installed somehow. Are they part of certain themes??
They're not bad apps or anything. I just don't use/need either one.
I tried App. manager, market, aTrackDog. Nothing will uninstall these apps.
Any suggestions?? Thanks

They are a part of Macdroid...
They really don't take up much space and Power Manager is a great program, and linda is a good file manager...so i dunno, if u like the theme...deal with them...

Just
Code:
ls -a /system/app/
and jot down the name of the .apk of Power Manager and Linda and then use
Code:
rm -f /system/app/<insert the name that you wrote down here>
to remove them.
get rid of them by all means but you SHOULD need Power Manager at least.
it's a great asset to the phone.
I'm not trying to start anything or tell anybody what to do but if you are installing thems or at that level of install themes (which is easy) than you should also be doing the install/run apps from sdcard mod so you dont have to worry about space and what not. Just my thoughts.
I have macdroid installed and 80+ apps and have 57 MB remaining. Its worth it.
those 2 are probably the most fundamental apps on the phone and they do work pretty magnificently

If you use the above code you will get a permission denied read only. Atleast it happened to me. Even using Su.
you have mount the image and then you can remove them
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock03 /system
ls -a /system/app/
rm /system/app/<insert the file name>
that should worked for me. I just didn't like the way the themed lindamanager icon looked so to get the original i removed to be able to download the one from the market

I'm pretty sure that they didn't just disappear all together... but after I ran the included apps2sd app on SuperHero v3... the apps probably got moved to the sd card but the link is probably broken to it... how can I fix this?
http://www.mediafire.com/?z05dzymmgtt
this is not a fix but will let you check /system/sd/ to make sure file are there
well thats interesting... they are not there... the folders exist... but the apps are not there... all I see in /system/sd/app is Astro and root explorer apks... so did all of them get erased???

Wrong type of forum for sharing warez. The program is £1.20... Buy it if you like it.
For the OP -
Code:
su
cd /system/sd
ls -al
Typing that in Terminal Emulator would do the same thing as the program this guy linked to you.
It sounds like the a2sd script you tried didn't complete successfully. Are your programs under /system/app ?
Hello,
I did a search and could not find anything. Is there an app available on the Market to remove stock apps from Android? I know there is a terminal command I can use but I have to input the command every time Cyan releases a new build.
Just wondering if there was an easier solution.
Thanks!
Resign the rom after you extact what you don't want, or any root explorer will delete the files after you change it to r/w instead of read-only.
also with root access just go into terminal and mount your phone as rw and remove them that way
There is an app called .... SU something or other. It is a file browser with read/write permissions. You can install/uninstall all sorts of apps, including system apps, or so says the creator.
I haven't tried it yet since it is a paid app and I can do them for free through terminal... but it seems like a good app!

I would say use GScript to do it, but an app could be work. Select the programs you want to remove then it runs the scripts to remove it then reboot your phone. But you want to be careful removing certain apps, it could make your phone unstable or not work.
Never really saw the need to remove these apps other than not seeing them. Never saw a big difference in performance of my phone.
I've used GScript and the following script to remove useless (to me, anyway) apps from every Cyanogen ROM with no problem.
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/app/com.amazon.mp3.apk
rm /system/app/AlarmClock.apk
rm /system/app/Calculator.apk
rm /system/app/Development.apk
rm /system/app/Email.apk
rm /system/app/Mail.apk
rm /system/app/LatinIME.apk
rm /system/app/Music.apk
rm /system/app/Talk.apk
rm /system/sd/app/teeter.apk
reboot
There's no noticeable boost in performance, other than a few MB increase in free space and a tidier app drawer, I don't know if any of the apps use system resources unless they're opened. It's mainly for aesthetics. AFAIK, these are the only apps you can delete without crippling the phone's essential functions. I know you can remove /system/app/LatinIME.apk ONLY if you use HTC_IME.apk and never try to uninstall it. The log collector in Cyanogen's ROMs is also safe to delete as long as you don't care about easy log collecting (ie not having to use logcat in terminal or adb).

You can't. From what I have experienced, you can remove IM.apk with no problem, but not ImProvider.apk, as removing it breaks the ROM (massive FC's). The icon for the app still shows up in the app drawer, as it's part of ImProvider.apk, but clicking it does nothing. Your best bet it to use Irrenhaus's Advanced Launcher and just hide the icon.

erase message app?? factory one!?
is there any way you can delete the original message (white envelope) without fuccin up my messages.. im using handcent sms... and i use my blacklist..but i hate tha other messaging program since it still shows it
i dont wanna use private sms.. so dont mention it..
anywho..just get at me!
Again, just use the Advanced Launcher (I swear I'm not affiliated with the project in any way, it's just an awesome mod) and hide it, and be sure to turn off message retrieval and notifications in the stock messaging app's options. Deleting any stock app that has to do with core functions of the phone (IM, messaging, browser, phone, etc.) is never a good idea, you're just asking for problems if you do. The apps listed in my other post in this thread are pretty much the only stock apps you can delete without causing problems.

I would LOVE to be able to remove the Music program. If I have my bluetooth headset on with phone and media enabled it plays a file every time I hang up. It drives me NUTS. If I disable the BT media it doesn't happen, but then I don't hear the notifications in the headset...
Does anybody know if it's okay to remove the stock music program?
Thanks again for all the help on here.

I finally got adb working and tried:
adb uninstall Music.apk
and I just get a failure.

I tried searching for this type of install and couldn't find it. After re-flashing cyanogen 5.0.7 stable, I lost my 3d gallery again. I'm at work right now and don't have access to ADB so I had to figure out how to install this on-the-go, without having double galleries. These instructions can be used in terminal emulator without a system reboot. Make sure to download the attached gallery.apk and place it on the root of your sd card.
Code:
1. su (allows root permission)
2. mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system (make the system folder writeable)
3. rm /system/app/Gallery.apk (removes system Gallery)
4. cat /sdcard/Gallery.apk > /system/app/Gallery.apk (copies 3D Gallery to system)
5. enjoy
Help!!!

before entering the above commands, try first entering "su", then when you see the # symbol enter in the above command.
so it may look like this, not sure if will work but you can try it:
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# rm /system/app/Gallery.apk
# cat /sdcard/Gallery.apk > /system/app/Gallery.apk

Can we use something like linda to install this and keep both galleries?
Yes you can have both galleries if you install using Astro or Linda but you'll get 2 identical galleries and thus arousing identification problems.

on your device it will show two "Gallery" icons/apps. You wont be able to tell which is which because the 3D one wasnt modded and renamed. So you dont have for example seperate "Gallery" and "3D Gallery" labels, you just have two "Gallery" icons. hope that makes sense. if you look around the forums, you can rip out the modded 3D gallery from one of the roms so it can run side by side with the stock gallery and be properly labeled. maybe rip it out of one of cyanogen's old roms when he had them both before he removed the 3d one.

I understand what you mean now, thanks for the explanation. Quick question though since I'm kind of novice at certain things, when you say rip out the modded one, is it as simple as opening up the zip, finding the app, taking it out, and then using Linda or such to install it beside the original? And do you know which test version it was when Cyan stopped using the 3d gallery? Thanks in advance.
Edit: I took the apk from Superbad, but it still had the same icon, do you know a specific rom that has a modded icon?
Edit #2: Nevermind, I was able to find 2 different icon-ed versions. Now just a matter of deciding which one I like most.

Not a problem, glad I could help. I actually find the 3d gallery to be faster than the legacy one for me. I have 1200 images on my phone ( I pretty much site ripped G1-Walls and put it on my SD ) and after the initial boot when it creates its thumbs and other cache files, it flies for me. Plus it looks so damn good!

What ROM are you running? The ROM you are running probably installed setcpu to system so you would have to pull the old version using adb or you might be able to use a file explorer to find it and delete it.

If u install it, and while its downloading click the progress bar to get to the setcpu description screen in market, it'll show u the reason it failed.
Most likely it'll say something like insufficient space - which actually is a result of it not being able to overwrite the existing apk thats installed. To find the actual apk try this
find / -name *setcpu*
You should get a list of all files with setcpu on your phone. rm -F the correct apk. If its on /system you will need to do 'adb remount' from your windows command prompt, then open a adb shell before you can delete it.
btw it may actually be these two:
rm /data/data/com.mhuang.overclocking
rm /data/app/com.mhuang.overclocking-1.apk

Yeah not sure why astro shows it empty. It may be because it doesnt run with root privaledges and only requests them when you try to delete something.

Hello out there,
my first post will be a request.
Just bought root explorer, finally market is working good.
I would like to uninstall default noisy-memeater-neverused-apps (peep and fingerprint are just 2 examples).
Is there a nice way to delete them without leaving installation files scattered in the phone? Some program as well (also payment one)?
Should I just delete the apk file or there is also a directory where the app save something of his own?
It would be really nice if someone with more experience than me can do a list of default .apk files/directory created so everyone out there with a rooted phone and unused default apps that want to get rid of can do this also manually with a root explorer or from adb shell.
Thank you a lot.
