Have unrooted AT&T N1. How can amazon & facebook be deleted?

Have a stock N1 and would like to trashcan amazon and facebook apps. Any app or simple way to uninstall, or add a terminal app and get root access to delete these? The default uninstaller is denying the request.

Try app root explorer.

Sorry its not in the market. Does anyone have the apk or know another way?

take your sim out and connect to wifi

Are you saying I can uninstall those apps if the sim card is not installed?

No he is saying that AT&T is blocking the root explorer app. If you take out the SIM card you can then download the app.
But that won't help you anyways, since d750 didn't even bother to read your question or the title of this thread. Root explorer will only be able to delete those files if you are rooted. And you said you aren't.
You will have to root it, then you can delete any files you want form anywhere on the system.

If I root the phone, will OTA updates like the up and coming 2.2 froyo work without any issues? Not that interested in warranty stuff. There's dozens of posts on rooting, but not sure where to start.

If you root, you decide what, where, when...all updates

Rooted my Captivate...how do install programs like WIFI tetheing? Blocked?

Ok...I rooted my captivate thinking that i could install apps that are blocked on my phone, like Sirius XM, WiFI tethering.....even after rooting the programs are still being blocked and i cant install them...
am i missing something? im new to android and had an iphone that i jailbroke.....im confused on what rooting actually does i guess

this should be in the Q&A section but read the forum.
your best bet would be to flash Cognition or Tayutama's rom. Both have tethering and as far as the other apps go, I'm not sure. they may be available if all the ATT stuff is off the phone

Thread moved to Q&A.

Rooting does not enable market access, it just gives you super user abilities so that you can enable something like sideloading or wifi tethering. As stated you should just consider flashing one of the available roms that enable this stuff for you

You can put your phone in Airplane mode, turn on WIFI and get apps that were being blocked in the Market. I did it with PDAnet.

In the Captivate General subforum, there is a thread called "One Click De-Cripple released for Captivate to enable install of Non-Market Apps"
Please go to that thread, read the first post, and do as it tells you. You'll be installing those blocked apps in no time. Good luck!

Android Market with 2.2 update

After updating to 2.2, I found that I can no longer update or load certain apps from the Android market on my AT&T Captivate. It appears that the phone is seen by the market as an AT&T phone and that certain apps will not download.
I read in a post that using Market Access to change the code to Verizon would do the trick but am not able to figure how to do that.
I also installed Market enabler but that does not work, or I have done something wrong.
I have tried setting the phone to download from unknown sources and now the new Amazon Appstore works but has done nothing for the Android market.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

[Q] lost root with update, now google services won't work.

Hey everyone
I got the update from att and I lost root (rooted on mj5 before). I didn't actually want to update but I checked for updates and it did it automatically. My fault I know. Anyway, I had freedom installed and now I can't connect to any Google services. I removed my Google account and now I can't re add it.
I tried removing freedom the exact way it says to and it didn't work.
Any suggestions on what to do? I tried to re root with Kingo but it tells me "no support", which is strange to me because others have successfully used kingo with this update. Even if I'm not rooted, I just want google services working again.
If I was rooted again, I have read a few ways to try to fix the error.
I did try clearing app data for Google services and play store.
Thanks all

[Q] Rooting and upgrading P7

Hi, it wouldn't surprise me if this has already been answered elsewhere, but I can't seem to find it.
I want to upgrade my P7 because all my music apps just stop at random. I assume it's a firmware problem. It happens with internet radios, Spotify both online and offline etc. I also need to root my phone to get rid of unneeded system apps and prevent apps like Swype from reading my location all the time (google "Swype location requests").
Rooting seems to be straightforward, but will OTA upgrades work afterwards?
EMUI 2.3
Build number P7-L10V100R001C00B133SP01
Custom Version CUSTC432D133SP01
I'm in Norway, if that matters

From someone that had the root before, OTA won't work. You would have to force the update. I'm on 609 and it works perfectly well (well ... I don't use the basic music app as it has some weird characters recognition and it doesn't have a "genre" tab, but Rocket Player doesn't stop randomly and it did when I was on 133, so I guess the update solved the problem). You can still upgrade and root again.
A question which might be out of subject but, what do you use to get rid of the apps and what are the apps that are not dangerous to get rid of?
thanks a lot!

Thanks! I'll look for the procedure on flashing new firmware and rooting it again, I am a little worried about flashing the wrong files and getting a chinese phone
I'll probably use Root Uninstaller to get rid of the weather and music apps, the bundled web browser, Hangouts and stuff like that. If I remember correctly, Root Uninstaller warns you against uninstalling essential system apps. But most importantly I need to be able to keep apps from leaking private data.
So the plan is to first force an upgrade, assuming there is one for my region, then root.
