Why in the world do you want to remove the app that allows you to use root?

so, things like amazon mp3 download, which constantly starts itself up, is useless to me. i can adb shell into the app folder, but i don't know which app it is, or even if i even have permissions to remove it, since i haven't rooted my phone.
any suggestions, help?

You have to have root for this, sorry
But when you do root: com.amazon.mp3.apk
Sorry to noob it up in here, but I have root and have been dying to delete the facebook app. Can you put it in simple terms?
:/ what are the possiblities that brute force su password checks would work? i mean, this thing has to have a password, right?

u need to establish a command line shell. first you need the sdk, which is probably easier to install with eclipse, just so you have everything. there are instructions around here somewhere.
once you have that, go to the sdk/tools folder in a terminal, and type in 'adb shell', and that'll put you into the file system for the phone. cd to the app directory, and if you have root ownership (dangit), you can remove apps or add apps
on your pc, open command prompt, and type in adb uninstall [directory to the application]

I can't seem to figure out how to remove stock apps using adb? Can anyone list the commands needed to do this?
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/YourApplicationHere.apk

Does this completely remove the app? I mean in particular the listing in the app drawer, as well as in the "Manage Apps" section (if applicable). Also where will app data be stored, if used?
Thanks
yes, completely.
use "adb shell ls -1 /system/app/" to find out the exact name of the app you want to delete, it's caps sensitive.
you can try these 2 programs to remove apps
you should try using android commander or droid explorer. search for them in the forums. they are free and help out a lot.
+ For Droid Explorer: http://de.codeplex.com/ I use this and it is pretty handy. Though you can just be lazy like I usually am and just uninstall apps via Titanium Backup. I haven't tried Android Commander (yet, but maybe I should...) but in interest of being fair, you can find it here: http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-and-Shell/Windows/Android-Commander-93099.shtml and the official site is here, but didn't find it very well laid out (no offense PanPiotr...): http://androidcommander.com/
One other thing if you want to backup the app to your sd use cp /system/apps/appnname /sdcard/backup/appname

Sorry to ask such a noob question, but I just ran Unrevoked 3 and unrevoked forever. Everything seemed to work correctly, but when I try and run androind commander to delete files it says I need root permissions. I saw the superuser permissions icon in my app list, but when I click it nothing happens. Did I miss something?

do you use other apps (setcpu, etc) that require Superuser permissions? any issues with those? if you do have other apps that have SU permissions, then uninstall/reinstall Android Commander... it should then request permission again.
if neither situation applies... use the directions above to remove the Superuser.apk file from /system/app and then go to this thread and download the new Superuser app

You can use terminal emulator good free app from the market. Just type su when you start the app each time so you have full access to the file system.

Don't forget to pick up busybox off the market so you have more useful commands similar to typical linux command line functions. It not required exactly, but does extend what you can do and there are plenty of other apps that will need it.
Or to properly root it and much easier 1 time only, use gingerbreak

hi,guys!
as this title says i found a tool named "rageagainstthecage",but i want to know how dose it work.Can anyone help me ? thanks
try superoneclick
Are you using Linux to grant root access on your Defy?
I rooted mine yestarday and I was a little confused on how to make it, I have same file as you as I read. rageagainstthecage is the exploit that will you grant root privileges. The instructions for linux are here [1]. I replaced 'exploit.bin' with 'rageagainstthecage' or you can use the one provided in that post 'psneuter', the proccess is simple
1. Copy files to phone using adb (I used /data/local/tmp as directory in the phone): su, busybox, Superuser.apk and exploit (exploit name, let's say: rageagainstthecage)
2. Make the exploit executable and execute it
3. Give permissions to the commands su and busybox
4. There you go

pardon my poor english,I just want to know how dose it work, for example : rageagainstthecage's Working principle,not how to use "rageagainstthecage" to grant root access,thank you !!
The principle of how it works is very simple, the rageinthecage exploit just forks proccesses until the proccessor hits the max, then the system will kill the olders apps, because you are using adb and running psneuter, the system will kill the adb shell, and here is the magic, when you restart the adb shell it start with root rights, to prevent that, inmediatly adb starts, the system calls setuid function, but because the proccesses list is full, the explot prevents the setuid call, allowing you to maintain the root rights, and in that point, you push Superuser.apk to allow the root access to the apps, changin before the permissions to the su binary allowing you to call that binary with a less rights user, that is the idea beyond the exploit!, wish that help you!
Sorry for the bad english

Great info, thanks for sharing this with us I was wondering the same
For some reason I cannot delete system apps. I know for sure that I am rooted and that the system is mounted. No matter what app I use it doesn't work. System app remover from the Play Store gives me a "failed uninstall" error, deleting the system app folders with root explorer does not work, and Titanium Backup doesn't work. I even tried changing the permissions to rw for each app to no avail. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?

Probably system write protection (see here http://androidforums.com/threads/zte-write-protection-for-zmax-and-other-zte-phones.1040331/)
running this will disable it
adb shell reboot disemmcwp
