Can somebody please help me take this app out of my phone... its the default app.. i want to use one from the market.....
Assuming you are rooted and have Android sdk on your computer you need to do this in the command prompt......
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/xxxxxx.apk
HTC also has the messaging widget which you can remove.
To see all the apps do this in the command window....
adb shell
cd /system/app
ls
Then just replace xxxxxx with the app you want to remove. I'm on my phone so I can't tell you off hand what the name is.

I was under the impression that you shouldn't remove the stock messaging app because regardless what program you use it needs the mms framework from the messaging app to function. You can turn off all notification for the stock messaging app so that it doesn't pop up for texts though.
I'd be sure to do a nand backup before removing this.

I do believe he is right
If ur removing mms ur correct. If ur talking am the IM apk then that can be removed. If u want to use a text message app from the market u have to leave the mms app on the phone. Just go the settings and turn off auto retrieve and notifications. All the text message apps use the mms to send messages. Hope that helps
Not true I deleted mms.apk and use handcent. I've never had any issues since deleting the default app weeks ago

I used SU File Manager and mounted the system folder as read and write then went into system/apps/ and deleted MMS.apk. This removed the entire Messaging App from my Hero and I only use Handcent now and haven't had any issues.
or from your computer's terminal you could do:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/mms.apk
When 90% of people, including a dev tell you no, you should listen.
yea except from experience I know that this can be done with no issues. So, until you have tried something yourself how about you not respond?
Heard of that saying "don't fix what's not broke", well I think that's just as valid in reverse, "don't break what actually works".
OK OK OK... you are right.. don't fix whats not broken.... that is a golden rule... but then again what do you call everything everyone is doing to there phone... Anyways thank you all for your help.... xda and everyone involved rocks.....

thank you
there is also a facebook icon in the main menu. how do i delete this facebook? i cant seem to find it in the app list...
I won't be able to get to my computer till tomorrow. I will look it up then if no one else has answered your question.
For Facebook you should be able to delete it from adb and it won't appear when you boot it back up

That would be great if you could get me the names of those or how to delete them. I really appreciate it. I cant seem to find how to delete any of them via adb...i really want them gone, especially facebook.
Thank you!
i have since deleted the pdf viewer...
They are system apps so easiest way is to use adb on computer.. type this in command prompt
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
ls
It will display all apps on the phone other then market downloaded ones. To remove type this.
rm NameOfApp.apk
Im guessing you can figure what app is what now. They are simply labeled. And remember, its caps sensitive.

This I know. Thanks.
I dont see the names of the apps I want to remove.
Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I believe the Facebook apk is located in system/app (maybe wrong though I can't remember where I deleted mine from)
I think there was htcfacebook.apk and com.facebook.katana.apk
The Google nav has been elusive so far but from what I am seeing it looks to be included in the Google maps app. I can't find a specific file to get rid of it. If anyone else could verify that it would much appreciated.

PDFViewer.apk = PDF viewer
Are you sure you want to remove the blue arrow one? That's google maps navigation... sorry, I don't know that one.
BTW someone made a great post of a list of almost all stock HTC apks which I keep bookmarked for reference:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6790062&postcount=203
Thank you.
I do use google maps for nav. I just want the 'blue arrowed' navigator off the main menu.

I didnt see it in the list when i typed ls. Im running stock rooted. When i go to the market, facebook is listed 'installed' and will only allow me to uninstall updates. Some things dont work when i run fresh2.1.2. Some things dont show in the market, updates dont work although i didnt push odadm. Suggestions?
Hows the evo? I was ready to buy one today...couldnt find it. Wouldve been impulse anyway...

If you remove the Navigator apk I'm pretty sure you won't be able to use the google navigator turn by turn directions-style navigation. Google maps will work, but not navigation. I don't think you can remove just the icon from the apps drawer if that's what you mean.
One way I uninstall apps if I don't want to use adb is to install titanium backup and uninstall from there. Just go to the backup/restore tab, tap on the app and it should give you the option to uninstall.hope this helps!

What SMS apps do you use? If you are using Handcent, for example, and you have not disabled the stock messaging app's notification, that might be it.
if you post a screenshot i might be able to tell you
I using Handcent but I do have my stock messaging disables... the icon looks like a postcard :s

Ok... my phone is dead..ish... I dropped water on it... tried to dry it out and now the USB isn't recognized and the backlight on the screen is dead. I can still barely make out the white images on the phone. Here's my question, is there anyway to make a nandroid and get it off the phone (email, ftp, ect..) automatically? I can probably see enough to install an apk... but not set it up. I am connected to my wifi router so I can see the device that way... but that's it.
HELP!

Edit : nvm
Their are ways to make a nandroid back up without turning your phone off then using a file manager to find the file and upload it to Google drive or drop box.. But I don't know how much you are able to do

It's slightly more complicated than that. I can't see the background at all in TWRP because it's dark. I can barely make out the HTC clock on my home screen. I tried to get into ES file manager and turn on ftp but the settings screen is also too dark. Think of seeing your phone in direct sunlight on the lowest brightness. That's what my screen looks like.

Alright... I've got it working.... I was going through the ADB commands and I can't find anyway to list the contents of the sdcard. So say if I only wanted to pick and choose which folder to pull. In command prompt it is usually the "dir" command, is there an adb equivalent?

What the heck, I am so sick of this disrupting me 4 times a day!
Do I have this because I used moborobo to transfer my stuff?

Apparently so!
I'm not sure how to help but let me try.
What's the phone doing when you get these errors?
Have you changed the dpi to the app or your phone?
Do you have a logcat file of when this event occurs?
Some things you can try are wiping data and cache of the app. Try removing your account off your device, and re adding your account again. This cleared up some errors for me before.

What IS mobomarket?
Did it come stock on my phone or was it synched from my pc after I downloaded moborobo to transfer my data?
It didn't come with the phone. It's a third party app. Feel free to remove it.

If you don't have adb set up you can install any terminal emulator and run the pm command from there. My mistake. Seems you do need to use adb. Detailed instructions here:
