Is there any way to uninstall the factory app without perm root
No I don't believe so, but if u do root, you can flash a rom called ice glacier(unthemed) , its basically the stock rom without all the bloatware that you're trying to remove, or you can just root and freeze the apps with titanium backup pro version, freezing doesn't delete the apps it just renders them useless incase. U ever need them just unfreeze that specific app very easy to do.

ive already rooted my phone..
how do i uninstall the factory apps???
Once you have root you can use a Root File Manager from the market to uninstall the apk's or use BloatFreezer. Alternatively you can flash Faux's Orange Glacier rom, which is Stock 2.2.1 with the bloat removed
Root manager cost money.. haha is there a free one? or another methods?
You can flash this, its just the stock rom with root and t-mobile apps taken out

Titanium Backup can uninstall system apps. Honestly, though, uninstalling things can be risky because you don't know for certain what apps your system actually needs in order to function properly. It's much much easier to flash a custom ROM that doesn't have any of that to begin with.

Titanium backup kept spam asking me for superuser access so I used a differnet app
I use "Root Uninstaller" and it didn't have a problem

When the SuperUser prompt comes up, is the box for "Remember" checked? If it is, then Titanium Backup should be added to the SuperUser allow list.
I use titanium backup, im temp rooted & have deleted several apps. Works great

Im sort of an intermediate noob....anyway HTC EVO rooted no prob, wifi tether etc. I just have a question about backing up apps. My understanding is that titanium backup, backs up your USER APPS and only backs up the DATA of SYSTEM APPS. Well I need to know what system apps I can uninstall?? I'm not sure what I'll need and is it possible, if I uninstall something, to reflash the custom froyo rom I'm running as of now??? Thanks guys.
i think what you really want to know is "What apps can i safely remove?"

You can use root explorer to remove system apps. Estrongs File Explorer works as well when you then on the root option.

You can also remove apps with Titanium. Chuck Norris mode FTW!!!
i use titanium to remove any straggler apps from system when playing with roms. I use a script to make them pretty bare bones first but there is often a stragler depending on the rom that i can remove. works great. but as others have said you can also use estrong, root explorer, and adb to do this as well.
Hi.
I want to root my legend and Want to know what all data I will lose on my internal memory as I heard that rooting involves wipe of the phone.
So do I need to backup my apps, messages, contacts, before rooting ? And is there a software that will Do this job well ? (Have heard that this app called nandroid will do this job)

Use softroot using Universal Androot 1.6.2 beta 5
Install SuperUser from the market as well
Then get Titanium Backup and backup all your user apps and system settings (at least the green ones)
Nandroid is a full "ghost" like backup and isn't possible without root/recovery...
Hi, will softroot allow installation of apps2sd ?

Didn't work

You need Titanium Backup to download busybox, click on "Problem?"
does Universal Androot 1.6.2 beta 5 work on the legend? to softroot?

Yes, see my post above...
Did the universal androot.
Got the superuser
and titanium backup... And clicked the 'problems' button and downloaded a patch.
However, when i tried deleting some software (which i am 100% sure it's not system, but bloatware), HTC shutsdown everything and force restart my phone...
Any other ideas? I love my ROM as it is (non-rooted) but hate the bloatware...
You can't change the content of your /system/app folder, not even rooted. Only in recovery mode and if you have a patched kernel. That is until S-OFF comes out, correct me if I'm wrong
Thanx Kwen. It worked after downloading the busybox.
Pls tell me what can I do with the soft root. Can I use Apps2Sd ?
I love the blur but I ant stand some of these programs that are running in the background that I don't even use like Verizon navigator.... how do I uninstall them?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
i found out the hard way it's best to not delete them. try titanium backup and make a full backup of your phone and go ahead and get the pro version which allows you to "freeze" bloatware to keep it from running. i read that TB has a problem restoring some apps in froyo 2.2 so be careful no matter what you do. it takes forever to get any help around here (yes i know it's all voluntary, but still....) so use the time to read up on these subjects.
Try root explorer and rename the apps to .bak, they are in system/app. Or use titanium backup to delete them ( make a backup first )

I also advise you. Do not uninstall. rename to "vznav.apk.bak". the system will no longer recognize them with the new "backup" extension.
The reason being - when the next upgrade arrives for the X - you won't be able to receive it unless you have all of Verizons crap on your phone. So you look through your
system/app
folder and just re rename all your ".bak" (vznav.apk for example).
and before you do anything - make a back up of your phone using the DroidX Bootstrapper app.
Just my .02 cents.
I have successfully rooted MT4G using method from this forum.
I can install few items that need root access, like shootme, titanium backup etc... I also see su in terminal OK.
However, when I run titanium backup/restore I only see 5 items: accounts, app widgets, bluetooth pairings, country/language, wifi access points - that's it!
Am I truly rooted? On my nexus one I had almost 200 items....
Only you know which you followed the temp root or perm root instructions. Did you run the root.sh? guessing from SU in console you are fully rooted. I just find it odd you rooted your own device and did not know it now thats dangerous.

Click on problems at the bottom, install busybox
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Busybox installs fine with msg 'your phone is rooted'
Btw, no danger when I said 'successfully rooted' based on the info from this forum.
Did it exactly: visionary and then ran the code in terminal, everything is loookig good.
It's actually much easier than previously thought.
However, this titanium backup bothers me - there isn't much to backup.
Is there an alternative? Love titanium, it's just doesn't seem to work for me anymore.
Why would that be?
When I finally restarted the phone the third time (restart and power off are exact bass-awkwards - power off is just like sleep mode, doesn't remove items @temp cache)
the whole slew of apps showed up @titanium. Case closed.
Another q: can't find nandroid backup. I'm on clockwork, which it has its own backup/restore, and I'm assuming it's the same thing?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Nandroid backup/restore is included inside the recovery OS that you must flash. It is not a Java app.

I recently just rooted and I'm ready to flash my first ROM, but if, rather not lose all my apps. With titanium backup will I have to back up my apps, individually or is there somewhere I can do that at?
Thanks again

You can run a batch with options to backup just user data, apps, system data or all of the above or each program by itself.

I've installed the titanium backup app and noticed that is boots itself with the phone. After killing it, the app eventually re-opens itself! Is this normal, is there a way to prevent this from happening? Or would it be best to uninstall it and simply reinstall it whenever I need to use it?

Are you talking about clockwork recovery?
No, I mean titanium backup. I wasn't able to see that it was running using advanced task killer, but I could see that it was running using android assistant (it seems to show more processes). I've just assume uninstall it until I need it. I don't see any reason to have it running int he background constantly consuming ram when it is not needed.
I have the regular version of Titanium Backup, and after I install the new ROM and want to reload my apps, I click on batch and click the apps i want to restore, but it asks me to install on each app. Does the pro version bypass this?
No i don't think it does bypass it... with the pro version the big thing you're able to do is freeze apps....
