You need to use something like Root Explorer to do that.

btw i try to run desktop virtualizer and also this program said that she dont have the right permission do to so. :<
thanks for your's help , mate ! :]
Do you have SDK installed? If so, just open up a command prompt and use:
Code:
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm *insert path to specific file you want to remove*
Ctrl+C
exit

As far as I can tell its a new security thing HTC have added to the hboot, basically makes the system folder read only even with root (think that's correct??)

Well , it's not totally locked down. You can access it (Read and write) if you boot into recovery. Not the smoothest solution but it works. Also there is AUFS but i don't think i have gotten that to work at all. Maybe it needs to be enabled, haven't really checked but i boot into recovery when i need to change something.
You can change the /system permission with a terminal emulator as Better Terminal Pro on the phone or by the phone connected to your pc via
Code:
> adb shell
doing in both cases:
Code:
# chmod -R 777 /system
when you restart the phone, /system will be reset to the original 755 permissions.
thanks for the response guys

If you have written the command exactly as you report is obvious that the os return an error. try to write as i did... (with blanks in between)
of course your phone had to be passed the Unrevoked 3.21 procedure!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=701
Anyway if you are not very much concerned in linux shell commands, i would suggest you to wait another more automatic method.

lol.'not concerned' very diplomatic yeah, kind of a windoze boy n therefore not really up on linux.
i did root with 3.21 and i tried the chmod command with all the spaces and terminal just gave me 'bad mode' (it also gave me bad mode when i tried adb) so i tried as i posted. bummer but nevermind, come on alpharev 2

You can enable AUFS in Jacob's latest kernel by typing "aufs --enable" in a terminal emulator app in android, and then reboot the phone.
i updated my streak to the 2.2 FROYO update meant for US STreak BETA devices and it comes preinstalled with Copilot Trial which i cant remove with Titanium Backup is there any other way???
First and formost, you must be rooted unless you use adb
*Using a file explorer that has root access. I like SUFBS (SU File Manager & Terminal) myself many people like root explorer tho.
Just mount /system as read/write and delete the apk from /system/app and your done.
or
*using adb
adb remount
adb shell ls /system/app <<*This is just to see a list of all the apps in /system/app. I am unsure of the exact name of the copilot apk. If you know, skip this step.
adb shell rm /system/app/name of file you wish to remove
or
*using terminal
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cd /system/app
ls <<<*again because I don't know the exact name of the apk file
rm name of the file you wish to remove
FIRSTLY << If that is a word ... I am a "root" virgin .. I used something called z4root . . I don't know if it worked .. I don't know why I even would want to 'root' my streak other than to remove unnecessary programs. In any case I haven't figured out how to do ANYTHING .. The directions below are probably clear to some, but could you or someone else do a "root for dummies" explanation or better yet, do a "adb" for dummies then I don't need to worry if I have rooted it or not. No rush ..

I've not been able to get universal androot to work with 2.2, but z4root definitely has.
if you see an app called "superuser" or "superuser permissions", youre rooted. the app you are looking to delete is /system/app/copilot.apk

thanks for all your help finally removed copilot with SUFBS great app btw definitely work the $2 on the market.
ALSO MODERATORS I THINK THIS THREAD CAN BE CLOSED AS THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO ADD TO IT
Right now I'm fully unlocked/rooted, but I'm wondering how any of you might have been able to successfully remove/uninstall stock apps? Obviously if this was on my N1 I'd just use TB, but as I'm sure others have found TB is currently unable to detect the apps (unless someone has gotten it to work??).
Thanks, hope someone has a suggestion!
I was able to uninstall them using Better Terminal Emulator. The code is pretty simple:
su
cd /system/app
mv Cordy.apk Cordy.apkb
mv DungeonDefenders.apk DungeonDefenders.apkb
exit
exit
This only changes the file type so the don't show up. If you want true uninstall (irreversible) use:
su
cd /system/app
rm Cordy.apk
rm DungeonDefenders.apk
exit
exit
If you want to know file names in the system apps folder, use:
cd /system/app
ls

Ok, just tried this with another terminal emulator, but after entering "/system/app" I get "permission denied". Though it did show that I had superuser permissions after entering su.
I use root explorer. You just click mount r/w and delete or rename or move just like on your computer

found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174160 here in the forum, but cant get it to work on my neo
after a little seaching i found an other script that seems to work on NEO maybe on ARC too
also install-recovery.sh isnt execute on my neo so i put the call into hw_config.sh and it works fine now
howto.
1. push dalvik2cache /system/bin/dalvik2cache
2. adb shell
3. chmod 755 /system/bin/dalvik2cache
4. echo "/system/bin/dalvik2cache" >> /system/etc/hw_config.sh
5. reboot
btw. you need an inscured adb or an insecure kernel like this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197263
if you do that, then at your own risk, do not complain when your phone is broken
hi,
i think it should also work without insecure adb and with stock kernel.
but root is needed...
copy the dalvik2cache file to sdcard first
with rootexplorer copy file to system/bin
set permissions
edit the hw_config.sh with editor (rootexplorer)
works great, thanks!
since my kernel supports init.d binaries/scripts u can actually just push it to /etc/init.d/ OR /system/etc/init.d/
it should work... though u may need to verify permissions... chmod 777 is best bet

i placed a scipt in /etc/init.d/ but it isnt execute on startup ...

Hi friends,
I've been trying to do this but I really don't know how to use adb. I have Android SDK installed on my computer, and fastboot, flash...ect. But every time I type "adb remount" then I get the answer is 'adb' is not found (blah blah blah...).
Plus my phone can't boot to recovery. Anyone please tell me where can I find the instruction how to do it? I really want to have more space for my phone and move all installed apps to sd card (I also have my sd card partitioned with ext3 and fat32).
Many thanks in advance.

You will have to unlock your phone first and then, using adb, install a custom kernel by fx. DooMLoRD from the link in my signature.
I dont know how to use cmd, can I use Root Explorer?
Anyway to revert it back? Because few apps are missing after it's done.
