How to uninstall apps included in a ROM (rooted phones)

i couldnt install apps like "Gtalk service" or "Live wallpapers picker" in CKDroid
or some start up apps in different ROMs?
how can i uninstall them? ...any uninstaller with root permission?
You need to use adb and uninstall them via command line using the "rm" command.
and you need to know what you are doing. removing gtalkservice will break the market (and probably other things).

You will have to remove it via Titanium Backup. If it still fails to install the APK you'll have to manually log into via adb (or use a terminal emulator) and remove the following:
/system/apps/Swype
/system/lib/libSwype*
That should do the trick. I've just installed a 2.6.x today on my Cappy and it's very nice.
Hi:
I tried to remove via Titanium, that did not work. So, I used Root Explorer and deleted the 2 files. Install was still unsuccessful. So, I used ADB to try to remove, and it says No such file or directory.
Even though I had Swype backed up with Titanium, it will not allow me to restore it, and I am completely unable to install a newer version.
I have searched and can't seem to find the stock Captivate Swype to try to reinstall it.
Any suggestions? I am desperate.
Thanks!

You are my hero! You're suggestion worked perfectly. Thanks SO much!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Not a problem...glad it worked. Sometimes people make things more difficult than they need be.
Could somebody post a short step-by-step on how to do this?
I need some help.
I used root explorer to look for the
/system/apps/Swype
/system/lib/libSwype*
files.
I found the libSwypecore file, but i didn't have any Swype files in /system/apps.
I deleted that file after uninstalling Swype using Titanium Backup. No success and I'm confused about what you mean by copying over the files using with root explorer. When I try to install my new version of swype, it asks if I would like to still install it since it's a system app (I'm guessing Swype is still recognized as part of the system). Then...it says it's unsuccessful.
Also, I can't restore for some reason since Titanium Backup doesn't have the option anymore
Where do you go to download the new Swype?
I have 2.4 currently.

2.6.48.....from axura...but I think docs have updated swype as well?...not 100% sure, dont know of a direct download, might be due to the porting it to other devices and xda crackdown on swype downloads
Sent telepathically using vulcan mind meld app.
I believe the beta is 2.10. I haven't found an easy way to download 2.10 as it is only made available to Sywpe beta users and they aren't taking any more applicants at the moment.
I'm really hoping they make 2.10 more available soon...

I've downloaded a modified version somewhere and I deleted system/lib/libSwypeCore.so and also deleted the other two swype components via TiBu. Rebooted and installed the 2.10 apk fine
Also di11igaf's 2.0.1 rom has swype 2.10 in it
So, I uninstalled with Titanium Backup, deleted /system/lib/Swypecore.so. Rebooted my phone
Now, when i try to install the new Swype version, it initially says
"Replace application
The application you are installing will replace another application. All previous user data will be saved."
Ok and Cancel are my two options
I choose Ok of course, try installing and it says Application not installed.
From what I can tell, it seems like the stock Swype is somehow still recognized?
Edit: Nevermind, I got it working. I pushed/copied the files over.
Installed swype 1.60 version (many language packs including Dutch that I needed) by using the copy paste method. Uninstalling via titanium and removing any swype trace and then trying to install it by tapping the .apk didn't work, it just said install not succesful. Sideloading it via Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine gave me an error stating I did not have enough space (i have more than enough), oh well, at least the copy paste method worked. Renamed the 1.60 swype file to Swype.apk and put it in system/app/ and rebooted and worked... Thanks for the help, can finally (looked for a long time) now swype in dutch!
I tried to install and failed
Everybody here talks about "I copied over and it worked"
What do you copy and over what? Could you be more specific?
Just google swype beta and sign up for it and follow the instructions there.
Hi:
Does anyone have the original swype version found on the captivate? I updated it to a newer version some time ago, with help from this thread, but now (starting today) I am getting a message saying that my trial is over, and the "swype" feature is no longer working.
Please help.
Thanks!
UPDATE: I have found several other versions of swype, and uninstalled, and installed several. I seem to be having the same results. They all install, but the"swype" feature doesn't work, only regular typing works. I still have not found the original Captivate version.
Any thoughts?
Thanks again!
UPDATE: Okay, so I uninstalled all Swype using Titanium, then I went to the Swype website, signed up for the beta, and installed. Voila, it's working perfectly now I just hope this version doesn't eventually give the trial is exipred version eventually.

Rooted, but can't locate busybox on my captivate

I have rooted with the update.zip. installed android sdk and now trying to enable captivate app sideloading, but I cant' seem to locate busybox after i installed it. I used "Buysbox installer" and click in install and states buys box has been installed, but i can't locate it anywhere on my phone to start it up to continue with the enabling app sideloading. I am lost on what to do from this point, any help would be awesome. Thanks!
When I enabled sideloading I logged into to my phone through adb copied the system DB, used SQLite extension in firefox to switch the bit, and then pushed the DB back on the phone. Restart and done.
What method are you trying to use to enable sideloading apps? All busybox did for me was allow things like su, copy, etc in the shell through adb.

I was trying to follow these instructions.

How did you do this? Do you have step by step instructions on how you did what you did?
Thanks!
Thought you should be able to download busybox by itself from the market - or you could install Titanium Backup which will install it for you.
if busy box installer says its installed, then its installed. there is no 'app' for busybox. its in the system. that website is slightly misleading. i think they mean the busybox INSTALLER. open it and run the install/enable it. as already suggested, if you install titanium backup, it will check that busybox is installed and working properly

actually there is an APP icon for busybox that will show up in app drawer. If you want to make sure its installed just download it from the market...open the app and run the install...takes all of about 30-40 seconds.
I just ended up downloading root explorer and firefox SQLite manager and just copied the settings.db over to my sd card and changed the settings from 0 to one on the install none market apps, then copied it back the com.android.providers.settings and i am enabled now. awesome thanks!

Sorry I didn't get back to your post. Glad you got it to work. Good luck with the non-market apps.

Uninstall Busybox

Is it possible to uninstall busybox from my device?
I have installed it, run some of the scripts but as I've noticed it had stopped Xposed to work, I closed those scripts.
But now I think that busybox is blocking my Moto voice app, so I wanna uninstall it. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks in advance.
